搬家公司的review

cheating on the estimation, expecially the packing services‎ - Laura‎ - Today


I used the company for a coast to coast moving. That included moving and full packing. I did shopping around quite bit before I decided to use this one (Mayflower at Giguere Ct, San jose, CA). The moving price was very competitive, which is understandable under current economic shadow. Two people came for the estimation. One did actual estimation, and another one was a manager who just sit there talking. The estimation was 3k lbs, which was 5k lbs short of actual weight. It was okay, since the quote was $0.04 per lb. The biggest surprise was from the packing estimation, which, I shall say, no estimation at all. The guy said the packing was about $2500, which was a LIE!! It cost mor than $1000 for the kitchen alone. The total packing tag was over $7000. So, if you are considering packing, do it yourself, and dont even bother with their so-called estimation.

Kids Modeling

It is for my notes and your information, especially for parents who have flexible time (a must, I shall say).

A great book: Baby Modeling and Beyong, by Sibylla Nash.
It is a very THIN book, and costs $14 on Amazon.com, but it is really worth of every penny. It covers everything you need to know to startActors' your kids in the modeling world.

Thumb of rule: managers or agents won't charge a dime upfront. They make living from commision. period.

The safest starting point: unions and orgnazation:

For people in the bayarea:
Try Stars the agency, based in SF.

永别了，加州的屋檐

终于，房子close了，钱爷wire过来的。
永别了，我的房子。
知道没有经历多少屋檐，不过还是最钟情这一个。
最符合我的脾性。
本来打算一直待着的，好吧，
舍得，舍得，不舍，哪有得。

第一次去新泽的海边。

下了好几天的雨，终于老天闭眼，这个周末，收雨开阳。
淘宝的姐弟衫也到了，正好到海边一游。
本来说好去水族馆，结果慧慧看到游乐场，就改了计划。
哎呀，60张票票，25刀。俩人就坐了5个rides。
下次星期二下午去，15刀waistband。
沙很细，天气很暖，人很多。。。
我要减肥。。。
