“Unemployment in the U.S. rises”, says an online news headline.
So true to almost a thousand Filipino teachers who are now out of job. I could have been one of them because I was interviewed by the recruitment officer for a teaching position in that certain county.
If I got in I would have paid almost a million pesos. Yes, I’d be swimming in debt even before I set foot in the great big US of A. I know it’s probably like having a lot of payday advance loans except they haven’t received their salary yet but they’re already paying for the fees.
Just like the other teachers who have been duped by a fellow Filipino recruiter, these teachers paid a whole lot just to be able to teach over seas. The authorities should also look into the agency that got them their jobs because it is to the agency that they paid thousands of dollars as “processing fees”.

I’m sure a lot of guys out there would love to give this mean machine a try. The car? A Porsche 911.
Why, even our President got himself a pre-owned Porsche but that is a different story altogether.
A car is a car but a Porsche? Who would call a Porsche a car? It is a Porsche, whether it’s a 911, a GT3, Carrera GT or even the Cayenne.
It feels like it has testosterone supplements in the gasoline that keeps it revving. But nah, the machine is superb and the brand wouldn’t come a long way if that’s not the case. Even little guys who love fast cars love Porsche.
Walter Roehrl, a rally legend during the 70s and 80s and a senior test driver for Porsche said that the engine so so good and ”That is the reason I like this car, because it’s not the power, it’s the response of this car.”

Google’s driverless car has gotten a lot of attention the world over. I for one would like to see it, with James Bond in my mind, wheee!
Who wouldn’t get excited to see this? Ok, some people are wondering out loud if this car is “legal” enough to drive (Q: who’s driving, it IS driverless) on the road or if it even merit a car insurance quote.
Would flying cars be next like the ones in The Jetsons?

I could get “lost” in a hardware store just as others could get “lost” in a clothes store.
I don’t know why but I enjoy looking at bathroom fixtures, different lamps, gardening thingamajigs, even casters, nuts and bolts, curtains and paints. No, I am not an interior decorator in hiding considering the home needs a lot of basic fixes like floor time (i.e. sweeping, mopping and more sweeping and mopping) and dusting the cabinets here and there.
Speaking of which, hardware store finds, I still haven’t written about my ever-reliable Rubbermaid home cleaning tools like the comfort grip tile and grout brush and duster (which I can’t find in the official site).
Now if only these would start cleaning by themselves… lol.

Dealing with hair loss is not easy, especially since one used to have thick hair.
Hubby’s hair loss has been a slow process at first but somewhere along the way, it seems that it accelerated. We have been on a lookout for a hair loss shampoo to somehow put a brake on the process, not that we can stop this even if we want to.
I recently got him a new hair brush/comb:
Perfect for his thinning hair since the ones with big bristles feel like its clutching on thin air 
Sorry hubby.
