Thanks to internet

30 Jul

I am not so much of a worrier. I let things go by. I take one day at a time. I live a full life. That is until I see myself getting old and seem going nowhere. I started to think about the future.

When you talk about the future, most of the time, it is monetary. To earn more. To have more money. To save for the future, as they say. How could you do that if you are just an ordinary employee?

Thanks to internet, you could do some things at the comforts of your own home. That is through stock options trading. However, it would be difficult for you if you do not have an idea how it goes, right? Thanks again to internet for PowerOptions®. This is what you need.

Looking for something that is not there

29 Jul

Do you have a habit of looking for something that is not present? For example, you are in a store that sells diamond jewelry, then you would ask the saleslady if they have pearls. Crazy, is it not?

I just thought about this because, I heard the vegetable vendor outside selling to one of our neighbors. I am pretty sure that our neighbor saw what is available at the cart. There were papaya, ampalaya, pechay, kalabasa, and a lot more of vegetable produce. You know what my neighbor was looking for? Leaves of a certain vegetable. Why ask for something that is obviously not there? Usually, the vendors or sellers would just give the impression that you do not really want to buy or worse you do not have enough money to buy what is being sold.

Proper communication, people! Well I am like that also most of the time but since I am already aware of it now, I wpould be able to control it. I hope so. ;)

Additional weight

27 Jul

I think I really need the best weight loss pills in town right now! You know, why? I noticed that even only a simple activity like taking a bath makes me catch my breath. Yes, I get tired easily these days. Should I blame it on eating ice cream for three straight days? My hubby would like to keep awake and he said that eating ice cream would do the trick. It did but it also gave me additional weight. :(

Forgetful

27 Jul

I noticed that I am getting more and more forgetful the past few days. I have to do something about it. I tried taking pro memory pills and even drank memory enhancer drinks. However, I guess, I should start exercising my mind too. I have to go back to reading. Meantime, I am enjoying mind games like hangman.

I hope that I would have a better memory soon.

Touch a blogger! Tie a yellow ribbon for Cory Aquino!

27 Jul

Touch a blogger: Tie a yellow ribbon for Cory Aquino!

Thank you to Reyna Elena for the yellow ribbon for Tita Cory.
She is the first woman president of the Philippines, Ms. Corazon C. Aquino.
Cory is really a brave woman. Starting from being the wife of a political detainee, imprisoned and exiled, I do not know how she was able to cope with it. Considering that she came from a wealthy family, she had to undergo such hardships in life.
Then, her husband died… Ninoy died as a hero but who would want that prestige if the man you love is already dead? However, Cory remained strong. She took it as an inspiration. She drew more courage from Ninoy and wanted to continue what her husband was fighting for.
Cory became the first woman president of the Philippines. I was astill young when all of these happened. All I know was that she brought change to the country. Ninoy was alive in her. She did not only bring back democracy but she also balanced it by bringing every Filipino closer to the Lord.
Cory’s being religious is what I admire about her the most. She is very prayerful. Moreover, I did not hear any bad thing came from her mouth. She only spoke of the truth and of the goodness of everyone.
Now, Cory is suffering from colon cancer. We heard in the news that she is in pain. However, we never saw her complained about it when she was still visible. She was always as sunny as her yellow dress.
On my way to the office yesterday which happened to be along the neighborhood of Tita Cory at Time’s street, I saw so many yellow ribbons. That signified every Filipino’s sincere concern for the President.
As a blogger, here is my little way of praying for Tita Cory’s well being. I pray that she would not experience pain. She is sick but please, spare her from pain. Actually, that is my prayer for every sick person. Let God’s healing hands touch her.
Thanks again to Reyna Elena for starting this….

For his entertainment

25 Jul

My husband is thinking if he made the right decision to come home. He was working abroad before. There are many things he would like to buy for himself and for his son. Before, if his nephews would ask for game consoles like xbox 360 or PSP and the like, he would be able to buy it right away. He, himself loves gadgets. He bought MDs, latest mobile phones, even a projector for his entertainment. You know how it is to be far from your loved ones. You just have to focus on other things.

Think positive

22 Jul

When you see 1800 numbers, you know that it is a toll free number right? Well, when I was younger, all I know about these numbers is that it is a very long telephone number. Funny, it is not? Why there are numbers that start with 1800? Is it an area code? Those were the questions in my mind when I was still a kid. Today, since I am already working at the corporate world, I know now the importance of those 1800 numbers or toll free numbers. For a business to reach out to its customers, it should provide a telephone number that could be reach for free. 800 phone numbers are easier to recall that is why most toll free numbers have the 1800 series. Before, I thought that only the US businesses have toll free numbers thus the start of toll free numbers is the country code of US which is 1. Today, even her in our country, there are businesses that have toll free numbers like banks, hotels, telecommunication companies and the like. Investing in 800 telephone numbers is all worth it. There are proven cases that the income of certain companies that have toll free numbers increase upon opening their lines to their customers.

Do you own a company? Think now of getting a toll free number or consider it at least as one of your priorities in the future. To be able to talk to people means getting to know them and what they need. If you are thinking of prank callers, you could actually convert them into a sale. Think of the positive side.

The man in blue missed his change

21 Jul

I really had a feeling that something not good would happen the moment I saw that man in blue even when we were still falling in line waiting for our ride. He was in front of me. Actually, we were riding the previous jeep also from the office to the jeep terminal going to our town. Anyways, I really did not like to sit beside him because he was really big as in three times as big as I am. Well, you know, I might be squeezed! ;) Anyways, fortunately, we were to ride a new jeep and we were the first two to ride. I went ahead and sat at the farthest end. He went and sit opposite me. In no time, the jeep was filled in. The collector went up and asked for our payments for our fare. I think, he gave 100 bucks. The collector went to other passengers and did not give the man in blue his change right way because there was no smaller bills nor coins yet. On the other hand, the man in blue got his over sized headset and connect it with his MP3 player. Her came the collector, asking the passengers who still has to be given his change. No one answered. The man in blue did not react at all. The collector went down and the jeep moved. Off we went! After a few minutes, the man in blue removed his headset and asked us if the collector already went down. He said that he was not given his change yet. The man beside me told him that we were all being asked a while ago before we finally go. Yes, he was told that he was not able to hear it because he was listening to music.

Your life in a magnifying glass

21 Jul

You thought that you are a private person? You thought that only the people close to you know who you really are? How could other people know about you and your finances? How could people know where you have worked in the past? They know your salary, credit cards, properties and almost everything about your financial capacity. You might be wondering how? That is through your credit report.

Your life is like being seen in a magnifying glass through a credit report. Thus, it is just fair or is actually necessary that you see it yourself also. Who knows? You, yourself might not be aware of who you really are. Yes, in terms of our finances, sometimes we do not keep a record of it on our own. We might have our own accountants or we just do the liquidation and review of it in a yearly basis. What is keeping you from getting that report? You could get your free credit report from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.

After acquiring a totally free credit report, what is the next step? Read it and analyze if what is written there is true. You might get the surprise of your life by seeing that there are some items that actually do not belong to you like some credit cards, perhaps. When that happens, that means that you have been a victim of identity theft. You might ask how could someone steal your identity? There have been many listed reasons on how those robbers are able to do such crime. One thing, you should always be careful of your documents, more importantly your credit report because anyone who could take hold of it could actually represent you.

The promoter

19 Jul

I really miss one of my officemates. Why? Because she is bubbly and talks about lots of things. Her favorite is weight management. She had recommended more than four brands of diet pills to me already. She actually tried using all of those at least for a month. What did she consider for switching from one pill to another? Well, the price tag! She said that the next one was cheaper but have the same effect and so on and so forth. I am excited to talk to her again when our schedules meet. I wonder what would be the new weight loss product that she would promote to me.
