A Book From my Colleague

PhotobucketSo far, so good, this is how i describe my job so far. I started to absorb the entire environment of my job though i really have to work on how to mingle with my colleagues and i have to get rid of being a loner guy. I have to start this year with a blast and I have to change myself for good. I’m not getting any younger so i have to live my life to the fullest in a way that i will do all the things that i want and all the things that I love. Actually, most of them used to invite me to hang out with them for a bit but i had to refuse their offer because I really don’t drink and I’m really not into it. Maybe there are other ways i can please them or at least to prove that i am not a “kill joy”. Anyway, one of my colleagues gave this book to me (photo on the upper left) . It’s James Frey and Jobie Hughes (Pittacus Lore) ‘s “I am Number Four” . I know that a film adaptation was released last year but I haven’t watched it yet so I have no idea how the story goes or how will it end. I am not really into reading but since he gave this to me, i will try my best to finish it. I will not watch the film yet either so that i will be more eager to read the book up to the very end. Right now, i am into Chapter 15 and I have 20 more chapters to read. 0_0…. I would like to grab this opportunity to thank him (you know who you are) for giving this wonderful book to me. Yay! So nice to receive a gift from someone who consider me as a friend. Thanks again!

    I lost my Phone

    This is just great! I just lost my phone yesterday and now, i have no way to contact my friends to inform them that i will not be attending our upcoming reunion (Again?? 0_0). I have no one to blame other than myself for being so careless. Here’s what actually happened. I was actually on my way to work but for some reason, i was really sleepy that time, in a point that i failed to realized that i fell asleep on my seat next to a person seating beside me. I was in a hurry that time too and i failed to check my bag before leaving the bus. I was like, so down, i felt so stupid for myself. Anyway, as like what they said, everything happens for a reason so maybe this is a signal call to me to replace my phone. This is a great time to upgrade my phone as well. I am aiming to get an iPhone and I am crossing my fingers right now that my budget will allow me to purchase one. I just found some cool iphone 3g cases online which makes me so eager to have this gadget. I know that it has many features that my previous phone can’t provide so I think i might give it a try. After all, i’m also the one who will benefit from it in return right?

    Vinyl and Granite Tiles, Which Do you prefer?

    Are you guys  planning to remodel or renovate your house? Will you ever consider using Vinyl Composition Tile (or simply Vinyl Tiles) for your flooring and kitchen countertops? Well, If you’re budget is quite limited, then most likely, you will absolutely include Vinyl as one of your top choice material alongside with other inexpensive finishing like Ceramic Tiles and Laminated Flooring. Vinyl is not a Linoleum nor a Ceramic finishing but it usually resemble the same appearance.
    Vinyl is inexpensive indeed yet you have to buy a special adhesive to attach them. Tiles are typically waxed and buffed using special materials and equipment too. Well, unlike Ceramic Tiles, Vinyl are quite sensitive to heat and the colors easily fade away in a short period of time. And worst, the tiles will start breaking or popping up because of improper application of adhesive or by too much exposure to heat just like what happened to these tiles I saw last weekend. Check how Vinyl tiles lose their alignment and starting to popped up.

    (It may not be so clear in this picture but if you’re going to look closer, you’ll see thateach tiles are not aligned properly anymore which is a sign of improper installation or application of adhesive)

    Well, in fairness to Vinyl tiles, you can easily replace them by taking out the damaged part and replace it with a new one. But of course, replacement can be very costly especially if you keep on doing it over and over again. So for me, if you are really aiming for durability and quality especially if you’re using it for your kitchen countertops. I much prefer granite over other materials though marble and quartz are still good enough too. You might also want to consider buying granite countertops hayward in California especially the one being offered by Marble City which is well known for their high quality kitchen countertops. How about you? Will you go for Vinyl which is very affordable yet not so satisfying quality or will you go for an expensive one yet highly durable?
