Me and my quirks

My dad can’t understand my need to buy new books every month. Hahaha. He told me that it’s a waste of good money. I told him that it sustains me. Even when my mom was still alive, she also kept berating me about my habit of buying books whenever I have more than enough money [...]

Affordable and time-flexible

If you are looking for a legitimate online university, go to Western Governors University at www.wgu.edu, a fully accredited online education institution by the Distance Education and Training Counsel (DETC), as well as regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission of Colleges and Universities. WGU was built with the working adults in mind. Time can be [...]

Twitter and the hole I was in.

I am so very glad that we can now report spammers in Twitter. There are a lot of them there! Those whose only tweet you can’t make sense of, or those women who are clearly out there to lure you into p0rn sites. I was one of those campaigning to have a mark as spam [...]

Idea of wrinkles

I am not repulsed by the idea of wrinkles. I would like to think it’s the sign of good years lived. Or maybe, I can say this because on both sides of the family, I don’t see a wrinkled elder. Most of my cousins are using wrinkle creams to avoid early signs of old age, [...]

Health plans for us

I am back to checking health plans for the family. Particularly for my dad, my grandma, my brother and me. A friend suggested Blue Cross North Carolina to me. Another suggested another company. Truth be told, as long as my requirements will be met, I am okay with any company recommended by a friend or [...]

Go out more, lose weight more

I am amazed at how slim my friend is right now. I saw her a few days ago and wow, it struck me how young-looking she is because of her slim figure. While I look like a matronly figure next to her. I need Lipofuze asap! My sister’s right. It is only when I go [...]

Alternative investment

Nilo and his wife are looking to buy gold bullion as an investment. They have been into alternative investments for a few years now and they heard about the good rate of return in gold bullion investments. But they are wary of fake sellers. Good thing someone they trust told them about Monex.com, the web [...]

Database backup

I have to do some backing up for my cpanel. I need to do this every week to ensure that whatever happens, I have something to rely on. I remember there was one time when my web host crashed and most of my blogs got lost. I forgot to do a backup on schedule so [...]

Stay away spam!

I am still getting tons of spam comments even with the Akismet activated. Mostly from the annoying .ru sites! I’ve been blacklisting their IPs but as what I’ve read, they are using proxy servers so you can’t really catch them cause they will just keep on using other IPs. I tried using other spam blockers [...]

MBA online

Capella University offers school mba degrees. Earning an mba can sometimes take longer than necessary because of work. If you are holding an 8 to 5 job, how can you still go to your mba classes if you need to work overtime or if you are dead tired already? With Capella University, you can take [...]

Pepeng devastates

We have relatives in Pangasinan that we can’t contact until now. Look at what typhoon Pepeng did to the province. It was devastated! People were stranded, houses submerged, crops and other livelihoods destroyed. Residents of Pangasinan are crying out and asking for help. I wonder how they will be able to get back the lives [...]

Man-made, not acts of God

People are calling the recent tragedies that befell the country as “acts of God”. Maybe in legal parlance, it falls under that category. But in the true sense of the word, what happened was not brought on by God’s wrath. It is actually man-made. Brought on by man’s abuse of his environment. Let’s take for [...]

Secluded, intimate

Imagine you and your newly wedded husband walking away from your guests who are having a great time at your wedding reception. You are walking towards the secluded part of the beach where beach-beds with retractable white gauze curtains are ready and waiting for the two of you… The destination weddings at Karisma Hotels’ El [...]

Sneaky EC!

Entrecard did this sly move of bringing back paid ads. They blindsided their members, slyly plotting behind our backs. Imagine taking the paid ads out when the ownership first turned over and then sneaking it back in, limiting control of the members to the paid ads being shown on their widgets… Sneaky! Sure, the members [...]

To be happy

What is the best fat burner for you? Actually, for me, aside from a trusted diet pill, any happy news is a fat burner for me. When I am happy, I don’t feel hunger. That’s the truth! It’s like I am always fully. I think it’s the adrenaline rush? Or the feeling of euphoria? Whichever, [...]
