Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years.

Blackout Curtains


So often living in a tropical climate we need a curtain to block off the sun from our eyes as we enter our bedroom. Even though you have curtains it still gets hot in our rooms when we are still using air conditioner. 

How do you keep your bedroom from absorbing heat from your window?
  • Blackout curtains that absorbs the heat out from your room
Where can you purchase it in the Philippines?
  • Available in Tutuban in the second floor for the home
How much does it cost?
  • It all depends on the size of your window
Tip:
  1. It is best to measure your window and give allowance from the top and the bottom of your floor.
  2. Measure the width of your window for the window rod to hold on to your curtain and most rods are extendable.
Most curtain rods come in variety of color from white, black gold and silver.

There are varieties of colors to choose on your blackout curtains.

I've seen in the internet they also offer this is the States and can also be used in your area to remove the heat from your own home.

I get irritated when the sun enters from the curtain moving and I found an inexpensive to have all curtain drape connect to one another by placing both ends of the curtains and using a binding clip on each end.



It will look like this:



This way even if it is sunny outside our eyes doesn’t get affected and our bedroom stays cool without the heat coming to our bedroom.
