FISH OF MIND
by admin on Mar.07, 2010, under Fishes, Home Tips, Howto & Style
Tired? Stressed out? Just plain bored after school? You could try to relax in front of the television or hang out with friends. But did you know that keeping tropical fish in an aquarium can reduce stress and relieve nervous tension.
Imagine sitting in a room where the only light comes from a fish tank. Behind the glass a variety of colorful fine streams of bubbles. Some fish probe the crevices between rocks; others sift gravel searching for hidden tidbits. Without even realizing it, you might spend hours enjoying the playful antics of your fish. If a tropical fish hobby sounds interesting to you, the following advice will help you get started.

Equipment
Most pet store dealers have complete setups that include an all-glass aquarium (the 29-gallon size is best, but a 10-gallon tank will work too), air pump with tubing and air stones, under gravel and box filters, and even plastic ornamental and plants.
An aquarium kit is perhaps best. It will give you the basic equipment to work with and, more important, the opportunity to meet a reputable pet dealer. His advice will be invaluable in the future.
Since you’re new to the hobby, this might be the simplest way to go. But if you’re more adventurous (and cost-conscious too), you might find most of what you need at some neighborhood yard sale. Before you purchase from this and other similar sources, however, be sure the aquarium holds water and has a cover with a working light. The air pump should produce a steady and firm flow. Check out heaters to see that the glass isn’t cracked and that the heating element is free of rust.

What can you do with a mortgaged house damaged by the floods?

HOME 911: By Tanya T. Lara
Dear home 911,
My family bought a modest house two years ago in Marikina on a 10-year bank loan. During typhoon Ondoy, floodwaters reached up to the second floor of the house, damaging everything inside. The wooden floors and walls have warped and all appliances and furniture have been destroyed. Luckily, we all survived without physical harm. The problem is that with the extent of repairs to be done to make the house livable again, we just can’t afford to pay the mortgage. And nobody wants to buy a house that was damaged by Ondoy, even if you sell it way below the market value — and what value is the house and lot now anyway? It is more practical for us to rent an apartment. While we can still meet the basic necessities, we feel desperate about the mounting bills. It’s easier for us to just let the bank repossess the property. Can we just stop paying and abandon the house? What are the consequences?

Nowadays, homes will never be complete without a computer. It is a trend that most of us seem to follow. But having a computer is not enough. We should also have an internet connection. In some cases, that is the main reason for having a computer in our house. With that, we tend to seek internet service providers or ISPs that offer us the best deals such as high-speed internet or World Wide Web connection. Prior to this, we can seek the help from the famous Qwest. As what I have said, homes will not be complete without computer and internet and this is where Qwest comes in.

It goes without saying that peace starts at your home, and this can be achieved through constant communication, as well as respect and love among family members. But there are also other external factors that can enhance and help keep the peace and harmony in your home. Subtle things such as the positioning of mirrors in your bedroom or the direction a window is facing in your kitchen may affect your family relationships and even your spiritual and emotional wellness.
The ancient Chinese art and science of Feng Shui teaches us how to create harmony and balance in our environment to promote positive energy and peace. Rooted in the beliefs of Taoism, Feng Shui is used all over the world to achieve perfect balance and harmony between man and his environment (Even Bill Gates home himself uses Feng Shui in his home).
With this in mind, Mandara Waterfront Residences, the first oceanfront property in Manila, incorporates good Feng Shui in its peaceful, serene community. Located in Asia World City, Parañaque, the 1.4-hectare property auspiciously combines the four key Feng Shui elements of fire, air, earth and water to provide a perfect place to start your own home and to foster harmonious family relationships.

Are Mothballs Harmful?

Only if you eat them or inhale large amounts of the fumes. Ordinary use of mothballs, such as placing them in an attic or storage chest to protect against moths, poses no risk of toxic exposure.
Mothballs were first made from camphor, and later naphthalene. Today, most are composed of the chemical p-dichlorobenzene. All three substances are toxic to humans if eaten or inhaled in large quantities.
P-dichlorobenzene can irritate you skin, throat and eyes. Prolonged exposure may lead to dizziness, weight loss and liver injury.
Plastic Wrap in your Microwave
by admin on Jan.07, 2010, under Home Management, Home Tips, Homes
Some scientist and consumer advocates raised a concern about cancer a few years ago when researchers found that chemicals in some plastics “migrate” into food. Transfer of particles cam occur when plastic wrap touches food for more than 10 minutes during full-power cooking.
Food and Drug Administration (FAD) scientist in the US don’t believe the migration poses a health risk. Also, not all plastic wraps contain “migrating” chemicals. Because there are no labeling regulations, however, it’s difficult to distinguish among wraps.
To be cautious, FDA suggests placing food in container large enough to allow at least three inches of space between plastic wrap and food. The extra space lets the wrap sag without touching the food. Or instead of plastic, use glass or ceramic lids to prevent splattering.
Also, don’t microwave in plastic margarine tubs or dessert topping containers. They’re fine for storing food, but they can easily melt. Use only cookware designed for use in the microwave.
