Helping a Friend

Do you know where to order those malleable iron bar knobs? My friend who is remodelling her house wanted to have one of those (actually more than one) but she doesn’t know where to buy them.

Actually, she mentioned about a website where she found it but she forgot the link. She forgot to bookmark it and she’s asking me to help her out.

If you know any company that offers those malleable iron bar knobs, please let me know.

Back from a Vacation

Not me, but my sister who went to Israel last month.

Actually, it’s not really a vacation because her travel was job-related. However, my sister told me that she traveled a lot during her stay there. There’s this Israel taxi service that she always used and so far, she had no complains.

Anyway, welcome home sister! Will drop by your place this weekend, alright?

Midweek Updates

How’s you week so far?

Mine was just so-so. I had a problem with our washer unit last weekend. The laundry hamper is now overflowing and it’s becoming an eyesore.

Today, the repairman from the appliance repair center came in to fix the unit and I’m glad that it’s finally back to normal.

Yehey! I can now wash our clothes.

Speaking of which, I gotta go.

Till then!

My DJ Neighbor

Our neighbors recently bought those DJ controller stuff for their music room. Their son, Josh, wants to become a DJ and I appreciate the fact that they are supporting their son all the way. It might not be the best best dj equipment but I can see that Josh likes it a lot.

We went to their house last Sunday for a barbeque party and Josh showed us his tricks. Makes me want to become a DJ someday too. LOL, just joking!
