Guatemala Sinkhole

People are talking about the recent shocking disaster known as the Guatemala sinkhole had everyone buzzing about the word.

Even my young children Googled the word sinkhole to read more about these phenomena. We (yes, I had to see what they were watching) even watched videos of places with sinkholes.It was sad to see homes falling in sinkholes and people perishing from these disasters.

I just hope nothing like this will happen soon.

Here is a list of the Top 10 Amazing Sinkholes (site cited by my eldest daughter)

Tiny Apartment with 24 Rooms

Tiny apartment with 24 rooms? Impossible you say, but not for Architect Gary Chang who transformed this 344 sq ft apartment into 24 rooms. Watch this closely:

This video is amazing!

For would-be homeowners who are currently having their homes built and painstakingly design (or work with interior designers) the rooms in the house, they can take inspiration from this video before they canvass door knobs, fabrics, tiles and even industrial handles.

Building structures nowadays does not only mean relying on face value. Building structures is now more about having a design that will maximize space and natural lighting among others as well as lessen carbon footprint.

Is your home one that can be considered as such?

Odd Smell

We smell something odd at night. Every night in fact. It is something that smells sour and makes the throat feel dry. We have the windows closed, in the midst of the stifling 37.5 degrees heat because we try to prevent this smell from entering the house. But we all know that smells, like water, can find even the smallest available hole and make its presence known.

I recounted this to a friend who suggested I contact the authorities because I feel something illegal is being done in the vicinity where we live. No surprises there considering the kind of neighbors we have. I really do think some of them should undergo rapid detox for opiates and rehabilitation. If not some should spend some time behind bars like a couple I know who did that due to selling what they are not supposed to.

I remember some years ago when I contacted the environmental agency for another odd smell, this time of burning rubber and they were able to find where these were located. Far from where we are but strong enough to reach our place.

I really hope this situation will stop soon. Sigh.
