Reading is so beneficial

When I don’t have anything to do, I usually read some spiritual publications like watchtower, awake and brochures. Yesterday while putting my son to sleep, I grabbed the awake magazine and the story of Sandra who suffered from skin disorder caught my attention. I was reading her article entitled “Can’t I Do Something About My Acne?” under the young people ask section. Sandra had a bad case of acne while she was still in high school and most of her classmates teased her and called her names like 'HEY, “crater face”!’ ‘Hey, “pizza face”!'. What unkind words and mean classmates she had. She said that she did all she could to fix the problem by applying some acne treatments but it just wouldn’t work, fortunately as she got older her acne went away by itself. Her situation reminds me of my former high school friend who went through the same embarrassment like she did and we always gave her comfort and advice that there is much more to life than personal appearances which would somehow make her feel good inside. It's really not good to judge the book by its cover.

Stars ops…

It’s my first time to receive a star tasks from one of my best paid to blog sources. I was wondering what those stars meant and later I found out that it was like an award for working hard in their system and making them satisfied with my posts. This is what the stars really mean “The sheriff is looking out for you. You have been given an extra assignment. Thanks for all of your hard work.” Isn’t it encouraging knowing that your work has been appreciated by them? I will do my best and I won’t let them down. Thanks for the stars and 11 ops. Bravo!!!

Other alternatives

In my previous post I mentioned that my husband’s cardiologist disagreed about him taking some diet pills and instead he was told to find some other alternatives to loosing weight. I thought “lose weight with the XBox game” is a great option for him now. I want to buy it for him, I’m sure we can all benefit from it. My son would love that too and besides my husband loves to play video games so this idea really works for him. This will be my wedding anniversary gift for him lol. What do you think?

No ops!

I’m waiting for ops today but I ain’t got anything. I’ve checked all my sources but found nothing I guess this will be my day off lol. There’s still a long day ahead though and I’m hoping there’ll be something to monetize my blog. Month is almost over and so far I’ve already reached my financial goal hehehhe. There are days where I don’t get enough time to write my assignments and there are days also like today that I don’t have any assigned task to write which is normal and not a big deal. Just hope for the best you know.

Keeping my hubby's uniforms clean.

My husband works for veolia transportation services here in chula vista. He's a mechanic fixing buses so he works pretty hard and it shows on his Uniform when he comes home. He gets pretty dirty and i really hate the smell of the grease on his work clothes. I don't know why but for some reason lately he's been forgetting to take his dirty uniforms to work so I've had to wash them in our washing machine. My husband has been asking his work to see if they will change to a different uniform service provider because he doesn't like the Uniforms that the current supplier provides. He says that they really do a bad job at cleaning and maintaining his work clothes.

I've seen some of the clothes he wears while sorting them out for washing and i have found holes and missing buttons on his Workwear so I've asked him why he doesn't have the company repair them and he tells me he's put repair tags on his uniforms but the service is so poor, he complains to me that they don't always repair his uniforms. There's not much he can do so i have to fix the holes and missing buttons for him. And besides, i think i do a better job at cleaning his uniforms and they even smell better because i use fabric softener and the supplier doesn't. He told me that one of the management of his company seen one of his co-workers on the road one day fixing a bus and asked the worker why his uniforms looked so bad. The co-worker couldn't answer so the management made the co-worker go back to the shop and tell his supervisor to order a complete set of new uniforms. My husband told me he wishes he could have a new set of uniforms too!

Computer speaker is back

Finally my computer speaker is fixed, thanks to my loving husband. He thought he won’t be able to fix it because he had hard time looking for the parts. He went to a couple of electronic stores already but found nothing, according to the store owner that those parts are not sold to any electronic dealers. It’s not really a unique parts but they were saying that the Logitech company don’t sell those kinds of parts, it’s either you will find some other way to fix the problem or just purchase a new computer speaker. Hubby is smart though, he use other speaker switch and install it. Wala… it works pretty well now!

My comfort zone :)

I can’t believe how fast my son outgrew the shoes I recently bought him a couple of months ago. Now I have to get another new one because every time I put his old shoes on he always complains about tightness. My son is only a toddler and we always get him new stuff but seems like it doesn’t take long for him to use it because his feet is growing so fast. I guess the smartest way to buy shoes is to make sure that the size of the shoes is a little bigger than his normal size that way he won’t outgrow it right away. Oh, I need to get some rain boots for myself too because I don’t want to borrow from my sister anymore.
Here’s good news to all of you out there, the best website I can share with you where you can shop any items you may think of is at shopwiki.com because they have all kinds of products from shoes, clothing (babies, toddlers, adults), accessories, health and beauty, sports, electronics, garden, toys, books and etc… They also offer Gift Guides (Wiki's) of any products for any occasions. And of course that’s where I usually go when I feel like shopping online.

Confused about "cpc"

Have you taken “cpc” ops at social spark? I tried and posted it in my other blogs but I’m so confused and wondering why there wasn’t any clicks showing in my taken ops section which is really impossible. Not even one clicks? Really! I don’t know how they count valid clicks and earn from those clicks. My friend one time mentioned me that she visited the link and even places an order on that site but when I checked my taken ops dashboard to see if there were clicks and to my surprise I found nothing. Hhhhmmmm? It made me think now. The link has been in my other website for months now but there aren’t showing any clicks. Would you believe that? I stop it though because it’s not fair at all.

Life is tough!

Basically I really don’t want to talk about life insurance because it made me feel guilty and sad thinking about it. I don’t want to lose any of my loved ones and that’s the main reason why I hate talking about the life insurance thing. But practically speaking death is one of the greatest foes that humans can never defeat from, however, I don’t want to give financial burden to my grieving family in case I die and that’s where life insurance comes into the picture. Right now I’m still on the planning stage about getting it but I have to look for the right type of life insurance first before I decide which company to choose from which will best suit my needs.

Family pix

This picture was taken recently when I’m exactly 7 months pregnant. I really love my digital camera because it takes very good pictures. My husband upgraded my digi-cam into a professional digi-cam, I’m still trying to learn how this cam works because I don’t know how to use it yet. Anyways, I just want to share our family picture, I guess I haven’t posted our family pictures here yet so here it is. Hope you enjoyed it!

Great vacation deals!

Despite the bad news about our economy I can still see that many people are going out of the country to unwind and spend vacation with their family. I think that’s the best way to get out from your hectic schedule and spend quality time with your love ones. I was watching on the local news today and they were giving some ideas to all the home viewers on where is the best place to go for vacation this summer that are affordable. They showed a couple of fine hotels with reasonable prices like the cheap accommodation in toronto, cheap hotels in singapore and etc… In fairness the prices are so interesting and I’m pretty sure that many of the vacationers would want to book on that said hotels.

If I were to ask which country I would choose to go, no doubt I will pick Singapore because I’ve never been there and I have a friend who lives there that I would want to see with. She’s the daughter of my ex-boss and I miss her kids too. I used to play with her 3 children back home in the Philippines. She works for the Computer Company and fortunately she was assigned in Singapore. Ever since they’ve migrated there I haven’t heard from them anymore.

Better than before

We have new neighbors now and look like they’re good people. They’re family and they are Mexicans too. Ever since they moved-in in their apartment they kept the place clean even our hallway which is cool. The husband is friendly too and he was the one who does the cleaning, he even fixes the front yard, swept and dust the steps and rakes all the dry leaves of. So far our place is pretty clean. I also noticed that they’ve painted their walls inside like the color of our walls (green) but the manager didn’t introduced them to us yet. I think they’re good people “hopefully” because I don’t want to have a bad neighbor again.

Disappointed!

Guess what? I visited my OB last Thursday morning for my regular prenatal checkup and I was so disappointed and shocked to know that I gained 13lbs in just a month. Imagine a month before that I gained 10lbs and now another 13lbs? Ggeeezzz! Oh my goodness. My OB was telling me that I have to cut my food intake or at least eat nutritional food rather than sweets that are good for nothing. She was right though, now I can’t help myself but to become disappointed with what I’ve been feeding myself. If only I could take Stimerex ES right now I wouldn’t doubt taking it but I’m pregnant and I won’t take the risk. I care for my unborn baby’s health and nothing I can do about it but wait until after I give birth and act. I’m sad about my weight though!

Online store!

I mentioned in my previous post that my husband and I attended the internet business conference the other night and looks like my husband is so interested to it. He was telling me that he wants to try it and see how it works. He has to start another website that is dedicated to selling some products, it doesn’t have to be our own product but we can work for someone’s company and make a commission from it. I told him as long as you’re interested and are willing to focus on it I don’t have problem with that. He has my support though. I know little that he knows when it comes to internet thing so I can assist him with that. Well see!

Broken computer speakers

It’s been a burden for me to have a broken computer speaker. I had to ask my husband to fix it because I need my computer speakers. I need it because when I’m away from my computer it helps me to know when someone is buzzing me and wants my attention without it I won’t know nothing and besides I always play my Filipino FM music whenever I don’t feel like watching TV. I think my husband says that he needs some parts to fix it and he went to radio shock store to get it but he couldn’t find the parts that he is looking for. I hope he can fix it soon!

Highspeed internet by hughesNet

I can remember when i first met my husband online through a popular chat room site. He was using dial-up Internet service at the time and he had to share it with the people who were living upstairs. They were always fighting about who got to use the Internet next. The dial-up Internet service was so slow and many times he would get disconnected. We used to hate that Internet provider because of the poor connection and download speeds. We've moved on and times have changed and so has our Internet service provider. If your tired of slow connection speeds, busy signals, or bad connections, it's time for you to change your Internet service provider to hughes internet. No more waiting for that favorite game to download or waiting for someone to get off the phone. With satellite internet your Internet connection is always on and available when you want it. Most dial-up connection download speeds are around 53kbps but with broadband satellite internet your download speeds will average around 1.0- 5.0 mbps. No more waiting for web pages with large graphic files to download. Your web pages will load 50 times faster. And the connection is always on so no more busy signals or waiting to connect. I can remember when i purchased broadband Internet for the first time, i said to myself that i would never return to dial-up Internet again. I haven't looked back since that day. Isn't it time for you to make the change today to hughesnet internet? Broadband Internet service is more affordable than you think and its available everywhere in the united states. Just check out the website for more details.

Whew!

Wow! A got a lot done today. I have many assignments for this blog and I’m glad that I’m almost done with all of them. I’m really hoping that I will have a productive day today and sure is it’s been really a fruitful day for me. We were supposed to go to field service this morning but we didn’t make it because we’re tired and our body can’t make it. These last few days we were running around and were so busy which wore us out especially me. I can’t do a lot of walking now since I’m 7 months pregnant. My legs are sore and my back too from carrying 20lbs. I’m upset though because I gained 13lbs in just a month.

Cadiologist visit

My husband and I went to see his cardiologist the other day for his routine check-up. As usual they did all the basic stuff like check his blood pressure, temperature, pulse and weight. All in all, everything checked out just fine but he was so shocked when he stepped on the scale and seen that he weighed 248 lbs. The last time he seen his cardiologist was in February and his weight was at 235 lbs so it was a big surprise to him. He seems to be gaining a lot of weight and he’s concerned. He consulted his doctor about starting a diet and getting some help by taking some of the popular diet pill ephedrine . His doctor suggested that he start watching his calorie intact and to start a routine program of cardiovascular exercise and walking. The Internet can help him to maintain a strict control of calorie intake. I’ll need to give him a lot of support to make this work.

Tips on Selecting Your Long-Distance Phone Service

Usually, having a wide selection from which to choose is an advantage. That allows us to identify the products which make the most sense given our personal tastes and circumstances, and many people love picking Cavalier Telephone. Having said that, when it comes to long-distance (LD) phone service, the variety of plans offered by carriers can seem overwhelming. Rarely do they come with a single rate or fee. Instead, the price you'll pay each month will depend heavily upon your company's usage; the monthly cost can rise or fall based on several factors.

Below, we'll describe the items that are most influential to your business's long-distance phone costs. Then, we'll take a look at pricing and rates as well as other charges you should watch for. By knowing which factors have the greatest impact upon your bill, you can choose the LD plan that is best suited for your company's needs and budget, and perhaps pick Cavalier Telephone.

Key Items To Review Before Choosing

Selecting a carrier and a new plan is a long-term investment. Take the time to review your business's calling patterns over the last several months carefully. That is the only way to ensure that your company will enjoy as much value as possible from the new service, which may very well be Cavalier Telephone.

Determine how many calls and how many minutes you and your staff are spending on non-local connections each month. Also, take note of the average duration of the calls, where they're being placed to (national versus international), and the rates you're currently being charged. If you're paying a different per-minute price at varying times throughout the day, make a note of that, too. That way, you can make a reasonable comparison of other long-distance packages based on your company's unique call profile.

Pricing And Rates

Many LD carriers advertise plans with one easy rate. However, there is usually more to discover underneath the surface. For example, a provider might charge one fee for calls made to certain locations and a different fee for calls make to other locations. Just realize that these packages are often more complex than they seem.

Also, some carriers charge a variable rate while others charge a fixed price. This is one of the reasons you need to identify your business's normal calling usage. If a variable price is attached, you'll likely pay more for connections made during business hours. That said, a variable plan may be less expensive based upon your company's calling profile.

Additional Charges: Expect The Unexpected

In addition to the per-minute fees you'll pay for your long-distance service, you may also need to pay monthly fees, minimum charges, and surcharges. Monthly fees can span an enormous range, so ask your provider to clarify whether they levy them and how much they are. Also, if your business's calling volume fails to exceed a predefined minimum, your LD provider may levy an additional fee. Finally, surcharges can be levied for a wide assortment of actions. Ask your carrier to explain every instance in which a surcharge would be applied to your company's account.

Partnering with a reliable long-distance provider is an important component in satisfying your business's phone communication needs. Follow the tips above to select the right plan for your company.

Greetings!

to all of you guys. How’s your day today? Mine is great, I think I was able to sleep good last night because my son didn’t even bother to wake up in the middle of the night and move into our bedroom which make me sleep good because I’m not falling of the bed. He sleeps in his own bedroom but sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night he usually crawl up on our bed and he always take all the room and we end up hanging almost on the edge of the bed. I guess he was comfortable with his bed last night, I hope he’ll sleep on his bed permanently.

Portable Storage

My husband was telling me when he got home from work the other that he saw the neighbors down the street were moving out. He noticed that the neighbors had one of those portable pods sitting out in the street and the tenants were loading stuff life furniture’s into it. I though this was pretty convenient that my husband was telling me this because it’s cheaper than renting the Uhaul. I’ve been looking for a way to help my aunt who is living in Minnesota, to move her things out of storage and now I’ve found it. She has all her property held in storage in her friend’s house. I’ve been recommending her to move out here to San Diego because of the beautiful weather and as a relative she’ll be close to me. I will have to call her tonight to let her know about the portable storage minnesota. They have all sizes of pods to fits your needs and budget. The best thing is you can take as long as you need to fill them up and when you’re done, they’ll come pick them up for you. No rushing to fill up the pod like you would with the Uhaul and no extra charge for mileage. The pods minnesota or storage containers minnesota can handle all your moving needs. I remember the last time we moved we had to borrow friend’s truck and it cost us money for gas and it cost us time because we had to hurry up and bring the truck back. With the pods system we fill it up on our time. If you don’t know where you’re going to live yet no problem, let the pod Minnesota store your stuff at their secure location until you know where you will live.

How’s your blogging?

Mine is not that much. I’m just thankful that Mr. G gave me page rank to this blog and it looks like better than nothing because I started getting more task now than before. This blog seems to be busier now than ever which is really good. I used to procrastinate because this blog is getting behind from the rest of my blogs but now it’s getting ahead and I love it a lot. I was just talking to a common friend who is also a blogger and she was telling me that paid to blog thing has been affected by the recessions and is not looking good at all. She said that she’s not earning much more these days compared to last year before the economy fail. Oh boy, we’re all in the same boat then. Wish us all luck!

My husband weight problem

My husband has been so concerned with his weight lately. He keeps telling me he needs to lose some weight. Actually he's never weighed this much before. He feels he 20 pounds overweight. He has an appointment with his cardiologist today and he wants to ask his doctor if he can recommend some diet supplements to help him trim down his body weight. The problem is he has heart disease so I'm not sure that's going to be OK with his doctor. I'm thinking his doctor will want him to try the conventional approach to losing weight. You know, like eating more healthy foods and exercising regularly, things he doesn't do right now. Don't get me wrong, diet supplements are great for healthy people who don't have heart problems. We will see what the cardiologist has to say.

Grunion run

For those of you who are unaware the grunion were running last night at the beaches. I found out through the newspaper yesterday and i asked my husband if he could shed some more light on what exactly this is. He said that grunion are these littler fishes that are about 4-6 inches long, silver in color and that certain times of the year they come along the shore to lay their eggs on the beach sand as the waves come in. The eggs hatch in about 2 weeks. We were supposed to go last night but the run would be late at night and I'm sure the water is cold right now so we decided to wait till warmer weather arrives. Also my husband says that people aged 16 and over need a fishing license to catch the grunion and that you can't dig a hole to catch them. You can only use your hands. There's no limit to how many you can catch. They are good for bait. Take them home and freeze them and cut them up in little cubes as bait when you go fishing. We will go fishing at the imperial beach pier later this month.

Reminiscing those days :)

I’m sure not all of you out there know how, when and where I met my husband. Am I right? Our love story is common but not so common I must say. We found each other through internet and it was unexpected. We both were chatting in a group forum and at that time I thought I was talking to a female because his username is “mich” which sometimes stands for “michelle” so I thought he was her. Anyways, from there we became good chatting friends and we traded emails, snail mails and after I found out that he was a male he started sending me some online cards and gifts as well as flowers too. Eventually our relationship grew into something else and he decided to meet me in person. We clicked and we had fun together, we enjoyed each other’s company and he asks me to marry him. To make the long story short we had an engagement party in the philippines and he came back to United States to start the papers and petition me and now we have a beautiful and adorable son who will be turning 3 years old in a couple of months and we are also expecting our 2nd baby (girl) in just a couple of months too. We live happily together. I wanted to share our love story to everyone and I thought I might Submit Dating Articles at articlealley.com to give inspiration.

Internet Business conference

I received an invitation to attend an internet conference here in our area and I was told to give them a call to confirm if I can make it so they can make a reservation for me and my guest. We were bribed though; accordingly we will be given a free gift (iPod or MP3) once we get there. We had a friend baby sit our son so we can go to the conference for 2 hours. They fed us a free dinner of course and we just listened to the presentation and see how it can help us to generate additional income through the internet. We found out that they are one of those ecommerce software company's and they were explaining to us on how to get started in making our own online store and make money from it. I didn’t take it though because we were told to attend another workshop for more addition information on how the process goes. I don’t have time really. Anyways I’ll just stick to paid to blogs for now. Don’t get me wrong, I know you can really make good money through online stores but I don’t think I can do it right now since I already have multiple blogs to take care of and I find it so hard to keep these blogs up to date how much more if I will add another website.

Long lost friend

I recently found out that my former high school friend is know residing in the Middle East and is now working at one of the popular hospital in UAE. She used to be a close friend of mine and I longed to see her in the future if given the chance. I would probably ask my husband to plan for a future vacation at UAE and maybe my friend can help us to look for a fine hotels in uae, I’ve heard they have great hotels there. As a matter of fact I’m curious to know about what sharjah accommodation can offer us. And besides I’m sure my friend will be so excited to see me too since we’ve had good memories together during our high school days.

Anyways, I’m trying to get in touch with my old close friends and have a reunion with them and one way I can find them is by searching through one of the popular social networks online and that’s where I found my high school friend. I left a message on her message box and hopefully she’ll get it soon and I’m looking forward to her replies.

Geeeezzzz!

What a headache! I’m dropping entrecards earlier and I really hate it when I’m in the middle of doing it when suddenly the window freezes and hanged up. It’s been doing that not just ones but many times and I have 7 blogs to drop EC which makes me irritable sometimes because I don’t get it done when I think I could’ve. I’m not sure if it’s my explorer that does that or the EC website itself. Do you experience that too? I have to restart my computer many times when it does that, it’s annoying you know and time consuming too, I’m expecting I can drop EC as many as I can in just a few hours but because of this explorer issues it’s taking forever for me to get it done.

Corporate housing Richmond

I want to tell you about an outstanding Richmond temporary housing company called Dabney Properties. They arrange temporary Richmond extended stay solutions. Their fully furnished townhomes, condominiums, and corporate apartments are excellent for the short term. If you elect to pick them as a temporary housing company, they will bend over backwards to make sure you have a nice experience—as nice as any experience you would have in your normal home. A great many of their temporary homes in Richmond have had their interior decorating done by skilled professional interior designers and are equipped with hardwood floors, magnificent wall colors, furnished fireplaces, fenced-in backyards, and outdoor decks and patios. Most people who use Dabney rant and rave about their corporate housing Richmond experiences.

I feel depressed

I don’t know what’s going on with me but I feel sad. I think I miss something that I don’t even know what exactly is. I was alone outside the living room watching TV while my son and hubby is inside our bedroom taking his nap or resting because he just got home from work. I feel like crying so I went to my husband and I woke him up so I can have someone to talk to and try to forget my emotions. He asked me if I’m sad because our visitors left already, I told him it’s not that I missed them but I probably missed someone else’s company here at home aside from hubby and son. I told him I think I miss my family back home. I’m glad my boys made me laugh and we all got up to go outside our living room and just have some fun. Right now my husband emailed our delegates and to send them some pictures that was taken while they were still here. I tried to send text messages to my family back home to ask what they’ve been doing. Anyways, I hope I’ll get over this sadness and be happy once again.

Mom will move in soon

My husband and i recently visited my mother in law and the nursing center told us that she will be ready to go home soon but that someone will need to care for her since she can't care for herself. My sister doesn't have the room so i told my husband that we will have her move in with us. I'm worried about her while she's using the bathroom. She might fall or slip like she did in the shopping mall and had a stroke. My husband and i discussed adding some basic home bathroom safety products to prevent her from having an accident while in our home. We're hoping the cost of these improvements will go a long way to helping my mother in law live comfortably and happy yet safe.

PR helps a lot

Wow! Cool! I checked my email today and I saw an email from one of my paid to blog site letting me know that this blog is already been approved in their system and is now ready for taking opportunities. I went ahead and sign in to that website and I saw a couple of task waiting for me to grab them. I’m happy now because as I have told my husband a few days ago that this blog will be improving soon because the page rank went up from PR1 to PR2 and hopefully it will go up more or remain as is forever. LOL
