Noisy washing machine.

This washing machine is very noisy. This is why I usually washed my clothes when I about to go to work so that I don't need to wait and not to hear this noisy washing machine. It was a big help.

When I was studying in Manila there is no washing machine in the bording house where I lived. I usually washed my clothes specially my uniforms by my hands every other day because I have only two uniforms in college. Washing clothes is very difficult, for sure most of the people these days didn't experience washing their clothes specially the young generation. Washing clothes those days takes a whole day include drying.

These days life is easy, very easy, This washing machine is a big help. I just need to put my dirty clothes inside, turn on the washing machine and then after 1 hour or two my clothes are done. Ready to wear.

This noisy thing is not a big deal. Life is Good.

A lot of shoes, not lot of space.

When I moved to my new apartment studio type, these shoes of my new toom mate are the first stuffs that catches my attention, the first thing comes in to my mind is where to put my shoes now? Maybe on the other side? But there is a painting that he is working on.

In my previous apartment there is a small room like a storage where we normally put the boxes, cleaning materials and our shoes. And now in my new apartment there is no room for storing those stuff. We have just a closet and kitchen cabinets.
I also have 8 pair of shoes but only two of them are mostly used and the rest are occasionally used.
I maybe going to buy a shoe rack, honestly as much as possible I don't want to buy anymore stuff because I am planning to move to another country. Or maybe I'll just keep my shoes in the plastic bag like that in the picture.

Don't forget.... LIfe is good.

Too much coffe, less sleep.

I felt that I don't have enough sleep last night, I thought that coffee is not really affecting my hour and way of sleeping. Normally I sleep straight not more than 4 hours. But last night I felt that I am waking up every 10 minutes. It was really bad because for sure it will be my problem in the morning.

If the kitchen is busy today that would be fine because I am not going to be sleepy, because I need to work and will never feel this sleepy feeling that I have now. If not, good luck to me.

Yesterday was my day off, as usual I had my lunch at Chowking, sent and change the router from the shop, walk a little bit at battuta mall. Around 4pm when I get home, I setup the router, clean a little bit and then I drink a cup of coffee while browsing the web, Facebook and blogging. I went to cafeteria to eat before 9pm. When I get back home I again make a cup of coffee, when I about to finish my coffee my friend downstairs called me to go there, and there he makes a coffee for me.
Total I had 3 cups of coffee, this is why I do not have enough sleep.

Why we like our own race?

The company where I am working now has the policy of giving room to their staffs according to their grade and positions. An ordinary employee like waiters, room attendants belongs to the grade 1 and 2 normally 4 people are together in one bedroom apartment, Supervisors are grade 3 and 2 people are together in a studio type accommodation. You can imagine the accommodation of the General Manager.

Because I was promoted just 2 weeks ago I was forced to move to a new room. When I get the promotion, I was worried that I a moving to a new room, to the room that I do not know who will be my room mate. I prefer the same nationality and the same relegion. and the rest like attitude, habit are not a big deal for me. I am a Pinoy and I prefer to live with the same Pinoy, Why? the same like you, you like your own race. Just to let you know our company has more than 50 nationalities working together, and living in one community.

The Nationality. I sometimes become racist because of the smell and or attitudes of some people.
you cannot avoid not to smell those people because they are working with you and they are everywhere.
Not all of them but most of them. What if you are living with them? maybe its fine if you have the same smell, maybe you'll get to used to their smell after a couple of days. For me I do not want to get to used to it.

The Relegion. Relegion is a big factor because with the relegion, we have different belief and different opinion when it comes to believing in God. As we all know nobody wins in a debate when it comes to relegion. Pork, Beef are  also some of the food that we cannot cook and eat in a room that has different relegion, for sure you're going to offend one of them if you cook the food that is forbidden for them. and eating this food for me are difficult to avoid.

Health Condition. Well the company are taking care of our health. They making sure that all of us are in good condition and no contagious or infectious desease. Mental health problem will be the problem but we never know when it will come to some people. If this is a case its a big problem for our safety.

We may become get to used to their smell and we can avoid to eat the food that is not allowed for them, With this we can live with them but for sure we will not be happy like when we are with our own race and the same relegion.

Factor like attitude, habit etc..are not a big deal for me because the company has a rules and regulation that are controlling the bad attitude and the bad habit. One common example are smoking and getting drunk. The company do not allowed the staff to smoke inside the room, and becoming drunk is forbidden in public. Breaking those rules for sure will make the work and life complicated.

The good thing is I am now in a new room with my new room mate, the same race the same relegion. Attitude......I do not know yet.

New room mate.

Because I am living in a company accommodation we do not have much control on the people that we are going to live with. I live in a shared room with four people.

When we are new in this company, the four of us, my friends decided and insist to the staff housing manager to stay together because we knew each other and we are the same nationality and the same religion. We are happy, we make noise we enjoy life. As much as possible we do not want to have any other nationality to be in our room because it will lost our freedom to do things that we used to do.

But of course its not always possible that we can stay always together. One of my friend decided to work in Cruise ship because he thinks he can save  and get more money by working in a cruise ship. Now he resigned. We tried to find someone we know that can be our new room mate but we are late because the day after my friend left the new european guy arrive. This guy from europe is 19 years old and I think he is not matured enough to live far away from his parents, there are time we see him crying in front of the web cam, he speaks so loud, and one thing I noticed he did't take a good bath. This guy he resigned and went back to europe because he missed his girlfriend and family.

Then we have our friend transffered  in our room.

In the past few days we have a problem because two of our friends got a promotion and they are required to move in a single room, a not sharing room. It means that two beds are going to be vacant and for sure new guys are coming to fill those bed. We ask one of our friend to move to our room and he did but then there is one more bed vacant. We didn't find anymore because our other friends are on vacation and the others are not allowed because there is a limit of how many times a staff can move to another room.

And so today when we arrived to our room there is a new guy next to my bed. He is sleeping this time so we do not know him. He looks like arabic maybe coming from Syria, Morrocco, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, we do not know.
If he is Arabic, 99%  he is a muslem. It means we cannot cook any pork meat in our apartment.

I just hope there will be no problem or any conflict  will occur during the time we are living in the same room.
I hope this guy do not smoke.
I hope this guy is not stinky.
I hope this guy is a good guy.

The other reason they say is the languages that comes to the travelers are not so polite. this is because counties like Russia where english is not a first languages and when they speak english is not so polite.

Countries likes Philippines, Brazil and Carebbians are last on the list.

How to re-install Windows 7

It comes to a point that my Toshiba is working very slowly, that I can make a cup of coffee, go to pee before it awitch on. Because of this I decided to make my computer like new again by re-installing my windows 7 64 bit.

It takes time for me to figure out how to install windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite L 505. I searched on the net on how to do those re-installing, each brand of computer has their own way of re-installing windows on their computer.

Normally you just need to insert the Windows CD and run it and the rest are follow the instructions. But with Toshiba their way is different and I have it here.

Good thing I still have the manuals and from there I read and follow the instructions. When we first use our Toshiba we ask to make a recovery CD and I did that.

Here is how to re-install Windows 7

1. Insert the first recovery CD that you made into the drive. ( for me, I have 2 CD) and shutdown the computer.
2. Turn on your computer while keeping the F12 key pressed to open the setup menu.
3. Use the cursor keys to select the optical disk drive (CD/DVD drives) on the menu.
4. Follow the instruction that are appearing on the screen.
5. Within 30 minutes your Toshiba is like new again.


When I bought my Toshiba it comes with pre-installed 64 bit windows 7 and it has no CD of it.
It also comes with a recovery CD of 32 bit windows 7.
64 bit windows 7 can perform a lot better than 32 bit specially in multitasking proccess like when you are running a lot of applications at the same time.
