Learning About Hydraulic Rams, Pneumatic Valves & Compressed Air Dryer

When I was still in college it was easier for me to understand some of the things that complicates me now like the other things in life very far from being a Mom or those that’s outside my working experience and profession. When it comes to things like driving and keeping our car in good running condition I leave that thing to dear hubby who will not frown when asked about automotive or mechanical terms like Pneumatic valves or other terms that’s way out of my scope of Mommy duties. 

 

I graduated from engineering course and had taken up all areas of Engineering aside from my computer course but it’s all behind me now. After two decades after graduation I’m more inclined to know about telecommunications, technical proposal and accounting because that’s my working experiences. If would ask me about Compressed air dryer I would just tell that they prevent microbes, rusting and corrosion. It’s a wonder that the things you learned in school sometimes vanishes like air. 

Sometimes I get to learn things from my brother because he’s into construction business and he would ask me to search for his required motors and products for his projects. I browsed online for electric motors that he needs and I came upon Fremont Industrial Supply, a distributor of high quality pneumatic valves, Hydraulic rams, air line preparation components, air line tubing and fittings, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic valves, electric motors and other power transmission components. They’ve been with the business for several years which they devote on delivering their services with quality, affordability and good service coupled with good customer assistance. It’s good to learn new things by patiently searching and reading and in the process I helped my brother also.

Ink Refill

We’re a frequent user of computers and printer because I have three schooling kids and DH is studying too. I bought my own laptop before the school opening so I can work without interruption because they have their own desktop computers; one was our old desktop which I’ve used previously and another one from my sister who gave it to my kids so they can use it any time they want for their assignments. She’s happy with her notebook which she bought along with my laptop. Every day one of my kids would need printing for their research assignments, reports or simply images that need for cutting and pasting. With the high cost of our printer’s original inks I’m thinking of getting an ink refill kit to cut on some ink expenses. Anyway I’ve visited Printer-Cartridges.com, one of the Internet’s largest distributors of toner for cartridge laser printer models and saw the instructions for refilling ink. It’s a Do-It-Yourself guide and it’s so easy to follow. 

It’s nice visiting the site as it has wide variety of quality printer and ink products for the clients to choose from including 300 brands which will enable you to find one that’s suitable for your printer.

You’ll find everything you need for your printing requirements all in one stop shop. Their prices are very affordable and come with a full one year guarantee.

Her Ambition Took Her to Her Dreams

That's what my college friend did when she dreamed of working and living in Canada when we're still studying. I remember her getting requirements and information from the embassy. She had a very good job here in one of the top power company where she had a big salary but she and husband still applied for Immigrant in Canada and when their papers were approved they left the country and stayed there without job for 6 months. Their separation pay from their stable job here had supported their stay and when they’re beginning to think if they will go back or stay they found a job and that’s where their story if living in Canada had begun. They moved to another place, buy a house and started their life far away from their family and relatives. My friend’s ambition took her to places and she deserves it because she’s very good in everything she does and she has served her parents well. When you asked her what’s the best thing about moving there she would answer that her kids has improved their health. The climate there cured the regular cough and colds of her kids.

Missing My Healthy Diet

I miss my healthy diet now as I slowly parted from it. The hectic schedule I had for the past 4 weeks has taken its toll on my body but it’s not as if I lost some pounds. The effect of my tiring works and several Mom duties led me to forgot my healthy meal plan and eat what’s on the table without being choosy. I can’t prepare a different meal for myself so I eat what I prepared for the whole family. It’s becoming a habit now for the last couple of days to blog until midnight or an hour after that and for me that must be the culprit why I have to go back to a healthy diet or have some workout. 

I noticed in the gym near the school that they have several equipment that can pull up bars, dip bars, abs strap, stationary bike and some weight lifting materials. Of course I would love to have a regular workout and exercise to reduce my bulging tummy but for now I will not be able to arrange my time.

Insurance Exam

In my previous job I handled the insurance plans for a special group in one of our ADB contract projects and I had a problem in one of the technical staff who will be turning sixty then. He requested for an insurance without test so much like a term life insurance no medical exam The insurance company didn’t approved his request and required him to undergo more than the ordinary examinations before letting his insurance application be approved. He needed to undergo several tests for the heart, blood and others just to be fit for his application. It took him several months to complete the required tests and the group’s policy was halted.

Elegant Looking Watches

Watches make me take a second look, whether I saw it in the mall booths, in department stores or in specific watch store. I love to see them in different sizes, style and brands. I’m not much acquainted which brand is more expensive or things like that. I just want to look, canvass and when I have money I buy my chosen style. Previously I go for certain brands only but now I’m open to try others too as long as they fit me nicely. Of course I also dream of having those beautifully crafted watches like IWC Watches which obviously has excellent craftsmanship befitting its high price. When I visit their site I was amazed at the beautiful line of their products which are distinguished watches for men and women.

Ulysse Nardin Macho Palladium was one of the elegant-looking watches I’ve seen in Lussori which made me gasp when I saw the price. Well it costs so much, a thousand dollars, but with the elegance and quality it carries many would fall for it without minding the cost. That’s what Lussori sells in their site, elegant, luxurious and unique timepieces that you’ll want to have, wear and collect.

This is a shot from my daughter's school where the clouds are beginning to change from white to a little greyish indicating the beginning of rain.  When I saw this last May I hurried back home. Still the clouds and sky looks beautiful with a beautiful formation of layers of clouds.

I love sky watching wherever my cam takes me. It makes me very thankful of God's wonderful creations.  Visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!

Ready for His Giveaways

Glad we’re finished with the small little things needed for the little boy’s 7th birthday. We had his loot bags replaced earlier because the bags easily tear whenever we open it. We returned to the party needs store to complain about the bag and the owner accepted it and let me choose a newer set of bags. They said it will not be a problem as they will just return it to their wholesaler for replacement. They figured that it’s an old stock from the supplier’s warehouse. I was happy that I didn’t have to pay for the new ones again because sometimes some mini store owners don’t want to accept returned merchandise of such small volumes.

Top Web Hosting Provider

Maintaining several sites are quite tiring sometimes but rewarding as well. I just need to be always on the go and quick for updates to have them always maintained and with good posts. I never knew it could be like this as I was a corporate rat three years ago with only 2 free hosted blogs. Blogging was simpler then and I was quite enjoying it with few online tasks. I’m just doing it on a part-time basis but I was enjoying it fully. After few months of blogging my friend taught me the value of buying and managing your own domain site so I did it. I added some sites but kept my free hosted blogs because they’re my first blogs and I didn’t want to part with them. I learned how to redirect sites to my purchased domains and I enjoy having my own hosted blogs.

I was happy with my webhost provider but keep on updating myself on other providers just in case I will need them in the future. I had a chance to browse some iPage Review provided by AlreadyHosting.com which they endorsed and promotes as a top web hosting provider, I was quite intrigued by the good remarks I’ve found in the users comment. They have tested the quality service of iPage web hosting in terms of customer support, quality hosting, reliable web servers, and affordable price at USD3.50/month. These features must be the reason why they were selected as 2009 top web hosting provider. On top of that customers are very satisfied with the way their customer service staff handles billing and tech issues complaints.

Should Get Enough Sleep

When it rains it pours and this phrase keeps on playing on my mind. I’m really thankful for the tasks given to me though I really get tired from working all nights and days. I keep reminding myself to get some good sleep because I know it’s not healthy as I’ve read from the email sent to me by my friends. Those people who sleep only for less than 6 hours have a high risk of dying young as the email said. Actually even without that email I know that adults should at least sleep for 6 hours or more and not less.

The Sneeze Test

You Are Brainy

You are a very detail oriented and precise person. You think everything through carefully.
You aren't prone to dramatics, but you don't overlook what's important either.

You are observant and philosophical. You seek to understand people more than judge them.
You treasure your alone time. You area true introvert, and it's difficult for you to feel isolated.

I'm actually a combination of both, I'm not really introvert but I sometimes enjoy being alone to think and meditate.  It's true that I take everything in detail because my work experience trained me to be so precise in everything that I handle.  When you're an officer in the company you will not afford to be careless because every step you take is very important.  And being an officer in the human resource division for 6 years I learned to understand people in all walks of life.
