Wow, I still remember that book. Kaso when my mother was cleaning out the garage back home, she mistook my box of reference material for old newspapers.

Tsk, good thing meron na internet.

Vaginal repair? What the...?

I just did an Elba oven..



Inubos ng daga yung wires. The fun part is how to put the wires back to where it should connect.. Add to the complexity the safety measure na rin with the handling of ceramic foam insulation, makati sa balat at delikado malanghap ang fibres kaya kelangan mag gloves and mask.

Back when im in gradeschool, magaling daw ako mag tahi/ embroider and really good on hand skills.. What confuses me sometimes kahit sakit ng pamangkins ko sakin kinukunsulta, and those love problems, domestic & legal problems with colleagues at work.. Oh well, i do everything. The skills must be learned if you want to be a good properties admin.

I know of a lady who took the course at Don Bosco before together with my other gearhead friends.
When they were disassembling and overhauling carburetors, they added extra parts to the plate of their friend so when they reassembled, he was going crazy when all were done and he still had parts leftover. :D

Don Bosco in Makati? I didn't know they offered short courses there. I'll inquire nga I only know that in HS they choose a "shop" (automotive, electronics etc)

i took a course in MFI 2 years ago. ok doon. although most likely you'll be the girl nga lang. regarding the book, this is the book i got. it is very comprehensive and full of details.

Dyahe nga pag only girl Are the students more on those interested with cars or those that are there for work?

I'll look it up nga. Is it an easy read for non-technical people like me?

Cathy, re: Don Bosco, AFAIK they have "night-school" for crash courses in automotive and others. I can ask details from a friend who is a teacher there. That is if you're really that interested.

Its nitty gritty stuff ha, no fancy air conditioned classrooms there. Learning is inside a workshop.

yung mga kasabay ko before, 80% are not there to learn and work as a mechanic. most of us in the class are either 1. shop owner 2. car enthusiast 3. wants to open a repair shop

ok yung book. go to national and browse it. madali lang siya intindihin.

nag inquire din ako before sa Don Bosco. but since it was night school, i didn't push through. parang 6PM yata start ng class? too early for me. so i opted to go to MFI ortigas and attended Saturday classes.

LOL, so you call your old Playboy, and Penthouse magazines "reference materials" pala.

*C4U, yeah, i think it's in Makati. My plan before was that if ever i migrated abroad, mag mekaniko/siraniko nalang ako.

I used to do all home repairs: lights/switches, toilets, sinks, appliances. Until we hired our present driver

Hahaha, sayang nga. Somewhere in between the technical books was a mint (not bastardized) German Playboy Tetchie Agbayani edition.
