Save Energy. Save Money

Every night before we sleep, I always make sure that no home appliances are running and that our computer is completely turned off. I do the same thing when we go out, especially if we have to be away for an hour or more. We also turned down some of the extra light fixtures in our bathroom and in the living room, all these we did as our way of saving both money and energy. My husband and I were talking about this and we both believe that it really pays off to conserve energy.
.
There are thousands of ways on how we can save energy, and we need to know them and make them as a form of habit in us to our benefits. Let me share to you this one website that I know that will greatly help us in Energy saving tips, it is the Microsoft-Hohm.com. By signing up for a free account in their website, it will teach us on how we can smartly reduce our home energy usage and start saving as soon as today. They provide home energy report and energy-saving personalized tips. Through Hohm, we can actually save home energy for up to $390 per year as what they estimated and may vary significantly.

One of the very helpful tips that I learned from this website is to hang out the clothes after washing instead of using a dryer. Well, since it is getting warmer here now in Florida, this is a very ideal way for us to do so, too, especially because we are making use of the sun’s warm rays. Of course, I used to do this way when I was still in the Philippines, and I realized that I can do it again here in Florida.
.
Another energy saving tips that I learned is to use a ceiling fan to cool down the entire house instead of turning on the air conditioner. In this way, the temperature level stays comfortable and of course, it saves some energy, too. For more energy saving tips, visit their website and don’t forget to sign in.

I Want To See Singapore

I am very happy because the guy who took care of my AOS (Adjustment of Status) e-mailed us and told us that by the third week after he filed my papers, I will receive a notice, stating that my papers will be on process. AOS or what is popularly called the Green Card is very important to me. It will enable me to go back to the Philippines to visit my family and friends. It will enable me to go to other countries, too, such as Canada, Carribean, Europe and to some Asian Countries. I would love to go to Canada to see the Niagara Falls, while my husband wants to take me to Carribean Islands for holidays.
.
Talking about traveling to another country, I specifically want to see the country of Singapore. There is something in that city that really attracts me; must be its popularity of their famous infrastructure and awesome sights and its booming industry. We were considering the thought of going there on our way back from visiting Philippines. I am looking for a place to stay and found this Hotel Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen for only US$ 76.90 a night. It is the first international economy hotel in Singapore and is located in the business, cultural centre and is close to most Singapore attractions. The spice-scentred streets of "Little India", the Orchard Road shopping districts are just walking distant away from the hotel. Its modern rooms feature high ceilings and large bay windows. Hotel Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen has wifi wireless internet access in every room. That would made it convenient for me; and the other convenience is that they have hair dryer in every bathroom. That is how every hotel room should be, so that travelers don't have to bring with them the hair dryer. Their restaurant "It's all about TASTE" has 20 typical local dishes. They reinvent tapas and they combine the flavors. We definitely would like to try their restaurant if we got the chance to get there.
