Toilet Blocks

Toilet Blocks


I was wondering if you also use toilet blocks? When I arrive in my current accommodation, my housemate is using toilet blocks. And she is using the in-cistern toilet blocks (the one that you put inside the cistern). From what I gather, toilet blocks keeps the toilet fresh every flush and prevents limescale. Basically, this is cleaning with minimal effort though this is not as effective as cleaning your toilet with brush and bleach at least every week.



I was also curious so I've purchased the W5 Blue Toilet Blocks and they cost 1.89 per box. It has 4 blocks in a box.


We have to clean first thoroughly though and then no need to remove the wrapper in the block. Drop the block into the cistern opposite end of the water inlet float. Then wait for 10 minutes before flushing.

How to Properly Store Food in the Fridge - Food safety and hygiene

How to Properly Store Food in the Fridge - Food safety and hygiene


I came across a video in a social media where she talks about how to properly store food in the fridge.


Upper most section - ready to eat meals, leftover foods


2nd - dairy products (butter, cream, milk eggs ) milk and the eggs not in the door - as temperature in the door is not consistent and eggs need cold consistent temperature for it to remain fresh in the fridge


Meat - always on the tray or in a sealed container right the bottom as it is the part where it is the lowest, the coolest  and the meat requires that


All the sauces, condiments, spices that survive in the temperature slightly or higher can go in the side of the fridge. Always write the expiration date if you can.


Fruits and vegetables they need to be below separately because the boxes below in the fridge maintain the humidity level keeping your fruits and vegetables fresher for longer


Air vents in the side should not be blocked


If you want an odorless fridge, use an expired baking soda (can be also used for cleaning

How to Remove the Oscillating Knob in your Astron Electric Fan

How to Remove the Oscillating Knob in your Astron Electric Fan


Do you know how? I saw some YouTube tutorials in which they just pull out the knob. But I don't want to do it because the knob might broke. What I did were these steps that came from trial and error.


It is better to loosen first the screw in the back that covers the motor of the electric fan for easier access to the lower portion of the knob.


Next is to use a nail pusher/or a thin screwdriver which can pass through the side of the U-opening of the knob.



Put the pusher/screwdriver inside the U-opening and carefully push the middle portion upwards while rocking it from left to right going in an upward direction.


Hope this helps!

Life Hack: How to Store Coffee Creamer and Prevent it from Getting Hard

Hello people! How are you all doing today?

Adulting. This is just one word but it could mean so much because we eventually are in this phase before we know it.

One aspect of being an adult is managing things at home on our own. From time to time I like drinking coffee. And I also like it creamy. Who have encountered their coffee creamers getting hard after some time?

This has been a dilemma especially in the Philippines as the country is a very humid place. Fortunately, I found out a solution for me that would hopefully help you out.

If you're in the Philippines, a lot of products are in a small plastic packaging or what we call "tingi". Most of Filipinos can't fathom to purchase big bulks of consumable goods at one time as this would be inconvenient though these products in smaller packages comes in a more expensive price.

So where do we come next? If you're purchasing the plastic one, in order for your coffee creamer to prevent from getting hard, don't put the contents in the canister. Cut it open in the edges diagonally as small as possible. And then after getting the amount you need, fold the cut diagonally to close the opening, twice or thrice and sealed it with a clip. There would be a time that you may notice small lumps of cream near the opening. Just cut it again a little bit bigger and then fold again. And that's it!

Let me know if it works for you.
