Door Security: Door Locks, Deadbolts and Door Closer

Pintooooo! Yung pintoooo isara nyoooo! Lalabas ang aircon!! este ang lamig ng aircon!! Yung pinto pleaaaseeeee

When was the last time you screamed for the door? Never? aba swerte mo! Here, whatever I say, they always forgot closing the door.. or baka may door closer ang pinto ninyo?

In most hotels we stayed, may ganito eh, but only during our Ace Hardware trip that I got to learn how useful and how much I need this kind of door essential in my life. Bigyan nyo ako ng sampung dosena pleaseee!

Anne of Ace Hardware (Robinsons Galleria) was the one who told me about door closer. She’s very helpful din about door locks and dead bolts. We need a few dead bolts kase for our house and she explained in details which lock is best for our house.

These kind of locks are used for gates pala.. parang ganito ang lock ng bahay ng lola ko nung araw?!? No wonder hirap na hirap ako isara noon ang pinto sa bahay ng lola ko LOL

These are the locks that we need:

Eh dalawang klase pala ito..

Dead Bolt Single Cylinder and Dead Bolt Double Cylinder

Sabi ni ate ____ mainamn ilagay ang Dead Bolt Double Cylinder if the door is near any window. The double cylinder kase needs a key to be opened in both sides. The single cylinder only needs key when you open it from outside. These dead bolts were less than 1000 PhP each.

Yale’s locks and dead bolts are our only choice talaga..parang kase when it comes to locks, it should be Yale. It’s one of oldest name in the lock industry di ba? Sabi din ni atey from Ace Hardware, Yale locks are hard to pick and can’t be sawed because of the materials that it’s made. And if you’re planning to get Yale locks and dead bolts for all your doors, you can request for the one key. One key to rule them all.. One key to unlock them all. It’s a nice option? Pero scary pag nakuha ng iba! But I like the idea of one key. What do you think?

Sa mga new home owners, what kind of security measures you apply on your doors?

Bed Inspirations From OUR HOME To Our Home

When Uratex posted this photo for their Sleep Redefined event at SM Megamall, I knew right away I had to check out the display:

This is the kind of bed that I want for our home! Decided na yan that we’re going to buy Uratex mattress, what we’re planning na lang is the bed frame. I want a bed na may hotel feel eh. And this bed frame looks like it can give the hotel feel I am looking for.

The exhibit was located at Atrium, and oh may gulay, I saw another bed frame that I like! Take a look:

The bed frames are all affordable, less than 30K PhP for a queen sized bed. As for the mattress, they recommend at least 11 inches thick which was around 20K- 30K PhP.

I fell in love with this one, kase it has drawers and a removable side table! And from all the 3 beds displayed, eto daw pinaka OK because it is locally made.

Close up photo of the headboard… I am still deciding though if I want this or leather.

The staff from the exhibit told me that these mala hotel bed frames are available at Our Home. It is located beside Toy Kingdom (strategic placing Megamall ha!). So before my sundo pick me up, I hurried at Our Home and check their bed collections.

This is nice too! Kaya lang I am concerned with all the dust the headboard will collect. If this has been leather, mas OK sana. What I like about this set is the bedding! Although all white ang gusto kong i peg for our bedroom, I can’t help but like the small hint of colors on this bedding set.

And I discovered that there is bedding line that’s called Hotel Living! I am going to check their collections one of these days, sana naman hindi mala 5 star hotel ang presyo.

Medyo nakakaloka pala to look around on this area of Megamall.. lalo if you’re a new homeowner. Kung pwede ko lang iuwi lahat, specially this L shaped sala set and all the tropical throw pillows on it:

We’re still not on the buying process pa naman, pero it’s better to take a look na at home essentials shops di ba? Do you have any store suggestion that I can go? But please, not Crate and Barrel! LOL

Paracetamol Calpol Launches The Go Ginhawa Mom Movement

We’re very praning when it comes to fever. On the 2nd day of fever, we’re already panicking and rushing to ER. Nakakatakot kaya ang mga komplikasyn na dala ng fever. At the launching of Paracetamol Calpol Go Ginhawa Mom Movement, I have learned a few more about fever.

What is fever? What causes fever?

Fever itself is not scary, it’s very manageable actually. Fever is an increased in temperature in our body. This increase in temperature is controlled by hypothalamus, When our immune system detects a potential trouble it signals the hypothalamus through a biochemical substances. The hypothalamus in return increases the body temperature making it less favorable as a host to reproducing bacteria and viruses. In simpler terms, fever is our body’s way of fighting illnesses.

How To Manage Fever

You manage fever to treat the discomfort experienced by the patient. And when it comes to managing fever, the age of the patient is highly considered. For kids below 1 year old, you need to be very cautious and when the fever lasts for more than 24 hours, you have to bring the child to the doctor. From our experience, a 3 day fever means there is an infection.

When managing fever, you also need to take note of the physical condition of the patient when fever is low. Any signs of wearyness even without fever is a sure sign that you need too see a doctor right away.

Giving Paracetamol to the patient to manage fever should be upon the dosage advised by the doctor.

There are some beliefs and practices in fever management that are considered ineffective. One of these is wrapping the patient in a blanket or dressing up the patient in thick clothing. Para daw gisawan ang pasyente. This can actually cause more discomfort to the patient.

In managing fever, it is providing Ginhawa that matters most and Paracetamol Calpol is committed in helping us provide that kind of ginhawa to our kids.

Go Ginhawa Mom Movement

As a celebration and commitment to us moms, Paracetamol Calpol launches the Go Ginhawa Mom Movement. It is a community of moms who advocate providing only the best care for their children.

Paracetamol also named 3 Go Ginhawa Moms: actress Jolina Magdangal- Escueta, fellow blogger JAckie Go and TV host and news personality Suzi Entrata- Abrera.
