Impulsive buying

Do you notice that whenever you buy something and you thought you were able to save because of the discounted price, it will turn out that it is more costly in the long run? I have made impulsive purchases in the past. Cheap purchases that turned out to be more costly when I sum up [...]

Jeans

My friend loves shopping for women’s jeans. She has several pairs already but when she sees one that fits her and she fancies, she buys it. You should see her closet. One side is just dedicated for jeans! Personally, I only have a few pairs of jeans. These are the ones that I’ve tried and [...]

Intel closing its Cavite plant

Last year, when we started hearing, reading and digesting the recession happening in neighboring countries, we were still confident that we were somehow “safe” from it. I mean, considering there are small businesses in this country and there are so many call center companies even hiring last quarter of 2008. But a few days ago, [...]

Wow Factor

I love watching those home makeover shows. One of those shows is the Wow Factor. I love how they transform different rooms of the house. In the episode this afternoon, I love what they did to the wood flooring. I am thinking it will be great for the house I have in mind. Unfortunately, the [...]

Reliable web hosting

What do you normally look for in a web hosting plan? If you ask me, I look for great support, guaranteed uptime and affordability. You see, a great support would mean that whatever problems you encounter with your plan (404 error, connection error, domain transfer hitch, etc), there will always be someone from the web [...]

Change is coming!

The whole world is expecting so much from him. US President Barack Obama has a lot to do with so little time. We are all saying that he is our hope but remember that we should also do our part. He cannot do everything on his own. Let us join hands now and do whatever [...]

Personal plan?

Are you ready to get a personal web hosting plan? Ready to get away from the free ones? If you are, get the best UK Web Hosting plan from Pickaweb! When I started blogging, I never knew what web hosting was. I am content with the free hosting that I was using back then. I [...]

My blog's very weird PR

My PageRank appeared once again! My brother was surprised when he heard me laughing all by myself. This blog’s PR is very weird. It shifts between 0 and 2. Now, it’s PR2 again. Tomorrow back to zero again???

Alternative source of income

I always say that we should have an alternative source of income. So that when our main source goes kaput, we can still expect funds to come in from another avenue. If you can afford to shell out some money, I suggest you check out the franchises that are available for you. At Franchise Gator, [...]

Therapy

Have you ever heard of chelation therapy yet? If not, let me tell you about it. It is the safest, fastest and most cost effective way to clean your veins and arteries. You know, those parts in your body that could signal a fatal heart attack if not taken cared of right away. An uncle [...]

Additional benefit

I met with an old staff of mine from a graphics company I worked for before. I actually meet with the two staff, who worked under me, from time to time. We catch up on the things happening in our personal and professional lives. I am proud to say that the two are working for [...]

WS: Away from the city

I just looked at old photos of the family from last year’s summer vacation. And I miss the… Farm House… Fields… and the summer breeze… And the calming sound of the sea. There are days when I just feel like getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There will definitely be a [...]

What positive things has blogging given you so far?

I have said time and again that I never expected anything from blogging when I started except for it to be an outlet of my pent up emotions back then. A therapy and nothing more. I wasn’t even expecting to gain online friends. I just wrote for me and that’s it. I used to maintain [...]

Blogging stats update

New year was welcomed by an update of the green juices in our Big G’s toolbar. Have you noticed it? A week or so before the end of 2008, I lost this blog’s PageRank. But I just ignored it. I didn’t want to ruin my holiday mood. Come first week of January, I was surprised [...]

New beginning

My aunt’s sister in law is thinking of getting an immigration lawyer to help them with the case of a little boy the latter is adopting. The little boy has been living with them for five years now and they want to bring him abroad. The adoption process is almost done but they are worried [...]
