Clueless About Cars

We've been wanting to buy a family car for the longest time. I remember my dad intending to buy twice, and each time, whenever he already has enough money to make the purchase, something always came up. And he would end up spending the money on these emergency expenses instead and put our dream of buying a car on hold.

Last year, he started perusing car sales websites again and my mom has hinted that he is serious about buying this time. And if things turn out well, we would finally have our much-awaited family car before the year ends. I'm crossing my fingers.

The thought of having our own car excites me but at the same time, it reminds me of how clueless I am about cars. As in I know nothing--nada, zip, zero--about cars. But I trust that my dad knows enough to make a good choice. I remember him being a car mechanic of my grandfather's old Ford Piera.

As for me, I fancy about taking driving lessons and educating myself about cars. I stumbled upon this Houston auto repair website and found it to be very useful. Things like water pump, transmissions, timing belt, etc are still quite alien to me. But I appreciate the car reviews and ratings, and the ability to choose you car's make and model and find out what people are saying about it and what problems are they having with it. I also like the Auto Repair Encyclopedia--really helpful for someone who is as clueless as I am.

So which car will it be? That would depend on my dad's budget. But based on the pictures that I caught him looking at, I think he prefers the 4x4 type, the quintessential family car. If money is not an issue, I'd definitely want to buy a ford expedition. Why? It's Ford and it looks just awesome and the reviews are not bad either. But it's really up to him.



Hopefully, when we finally have one, I know enough about cars to make a decent review about it :) Hopefully.

Sheng Reviews Blue Sky Scrubs

No, this is not something that you use for cleaning. Scrubs are medical personnel uniforms and the site, Blue Sky Scrubs offers some of the best high fashion scrubs online.

Why fashion matters?

I'm sure you've seen nurses and even doctors running around in hospitals, clad in dull pajama-looking uniforms. Yes, they are comfortable and perfect for people who need to move a lot. But I'm sure you will agree with me when I say they are hardly fashionable. If you're as gorgeous as George Clooney and Eric Dane or as beautiful as Katherine Heigl, maybe you wouldn't mind. But not everyone is.

Two years ago, when my mother was confined in the hospital a few days before New Year's eve, I bumped into a former classmate who works there as a therapist. I know I was bad, but I couldn't help but comment on how fat he has become. And he said, "it's just the uniform". Well, he is fat indeed, but he was also right about the uniform. It just makes him look more fat.

There's a need to look good.

It's easy to see why Blue Sky Scrubs ventured into creating fashionable medical apparel. The profession should not deter anyone from looking good. The job itself entails a lot of stress, which can make anyone look and feel drab. Wearing colorful and trendy fashion seal medical scrubs might help in breaking the "fattening", "boring" sleepwear fashion that dominates the hospital. I'm sure nurses and doctors alike will welcome the idea of looking fab.

As for quality and service, I only have customers' testimonials to base on. And of course, expect that you will only read positive feedback on their site. But I did a little research and stumble on these reviews. They actually sound like a great medical scrubs supplier. If you want, you can try ordering one of their discount scrub sets, to know for yourself how they will fare in terms of product quality and customer service. But fashion-wise, if you'll ask me, I'd definitely give Blue Sky Scrubs a try.
