Being a family of collectors, here is a continuation to my previous article about My Son’s Collection.   In this writing I will reveal my collections and my husband’s passion for collecting stuffs.
complete set of Harry Potter Series

Lord of the Rings, Dan Brown's, Robin Cook's, John Grisham's, etc.


over 200 Star Wars books

 some of Yahmir's book collection

I am a book-lover.  I am fond of reading fiction, non-fiction, thriller, suspense, fantasy and other topics that catch my interest.  These books that I am buying and reading does not just stay in the bookshelves after I am done reading, for my husband and my sons are reading it too.  Seldom that I buy new or firsthand books, usually I buy them on book-sale or second hand book outlets,  except for the Harry Potter Series, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings and Dan Brown’s collection.  

I also have this craze in collecting gadgets, from pagers to pda and cell phones.  At the moment, I am saving to buy an e-book reader, for my e-book collections be organized.
pagers, cellphones and a pda

I love to sew too, cross stitching became a hobby years ago, but due to hectic schedule I stopped doing it for a while but will get back to it again soon.

My husband is a piggy figurine collector.  These figurines he gathered over the years came from different places here and abroad.  Some of them were given as gifts.







Ostrich eggs are the largest eggs laid by any living bird, till date.  The shell of the ostrich egg is strong, and is 0.06 inches thick.  On an average, the weight of an ostrich egg is close to 1 kg.  They are approximately 6-7 inches in length and 15-18 inches around.  Aside from the its size, we collect them for it is said that Ostrich eggs usher in good luck.

Cleaning 101: Declogging drains

Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both.   However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water.   Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
