Detectors Item

I saw a product that caught my interest being uniquely advertised in one social networking site. But what really surprised me was that the person behind the business is a friend whom I've known for quite a long time now. She started to build her own business in her own hometown after resigning from a company that she had worked for more than ten years. She worked for a company that sells bounty hunter metal detectors and gained few knowledge in this kind of business. She added few items but not exactly of the same product line as there are also great competitors selling the same detectors item nearby. I might visit the shop later to see what more items that the shop offers. If the price is lower, I might consider getting an item in bulk to be used by a hunter/mountaineer friend who just asked some help. I am no expert when it comes to this product but I trust that she'll give me only the best deal. Knowing her, she would only sell quality products and selected hunting materials.

Debt Management

Many people are now enjoying the wonderful spirit that the season brings. It is the time of the year where giving is the real spirit of the holidays. People are rushing everywhere and grabbing all the sale items they can get without thinking much about the budget. They hop from one store to another and shop till they drop from dusk till dawn. They enjoy evening market wherein this store accommodates shoppers who are busy enough to do their shopping during the day. The season brings much joy to many people but this joyful spirit also put these people into debt. In situation like this, J. Hass Group will help them manage debt settlement. People need to be smart enough in this aspect. They should know the problem first and then the solution to settle everything without much trouble as they welcome new year.

Cowboy Party Theme

Looks like Christmas Party for mommy bloggers will push through this coming week. Other mommies are finalizing the venue and this will be the first Christmas party for mommy bloggers. Our party theme will be a western cowboy and so we will hold the party in complete cowboy get up. Since Christmas is meant to be a cold weather I can still use ugg boots in any other event. It looks good and I want to get used to wearing this. For my hat and long sleeve, I'll ask some of my fellow mommies where to buy this get up. We're all excited for the coming party. I already blocked off the date and other fellow bloggers also confirmed so there's no other reason to move the scheduled date to another day. So bloggers, prepare your best cowboy attire now. And hey, don't forget your cowboy belt, your gifts and giveaways.

Successful Event

As Christmas comes closer, more events are being held in different areas. Other manufacturing companies are launching new products to take timely offers for the season. Few weeks ago, I attended product launching and was totally impressed how the event was organized. I love how the venue turned out into a homey environment since the products were all about baby stuffs. Mommy bloggers and media were all pleased with all the food, the venue, freebies and other invited celebrity guests. The event was successful since it was planned well. Overall, it was rated by media and bloggers a perfect ten. I say, the company must acknowledge the event or conference organiser for this. It is really important to note important matters in order to avoid disastrous turn out. Not all conferences are successful as I have previous experience with full of disappointment too.

Clear Signal

Our cable has been receiving poor signal for two days already. Because of such unreliable service, I have decided to transfer our old cable to a new provider. We oftentimes experience poor signal and limited channels. I already inquired for a new cable and asked for subscription rate plus other requirements needed to install. Cable upgrading for better and clearer signal means higher bill too. I chose a postpaid subscription since this is also affordable just like car insurance rate. In return, our TV time will be wonderful and my kids would surely be satisfied to just stay in the house on weekends. We're overspending already and I declare a no mall weekends for this month. We need to save extra bucks for the coming season. Funny that I want to save money but I'm looking forward to spending again this Christmas. Oh well, I guess this is worth the additional expense.

Book An Artist

During weekend, I usually watch noontime show after my house chores. I am a fan of both local and foreign artist and often fascinated by their great voice or talent on TV. I knew someday that I will be watching them live perform in the big dome. Concert producers should take a look into booking good artists ahead of time since it is important for a fan like me not to put on hold or move the date due to unavailability. Like if they Book Fabolous ahead of time and confirm the show, then I can plan and decide the best time to watch the show too.

Computer System

The pc that I am using right now has been with me for over three years now and still in good condition. I personally did not know the exact specifications when I bought this. The salesman did a a very good job anyway and closed the deal knowing I have a little knowledge in terms of full specifications of pc. Now, I am aware already of where to buy the best computer system, pc or Industrial pc. My system runs as fast as when I bought it is still working well to date. I bet, by next year, my pc would not be as fast as it is now, so this means an upgrade or look for a new and latest system.

Battery Warranty

Daughter has been complaining about the battery of her laptop she has been using for the past nine months. She cannot use the laptop without being plugged in direct to the power outlet. The battery lasts for five minutes only and the power would shut down at once. If we have laptop warranty including battery, then I could just bring the laptop to the store and ask for replacement. But since we don't have the receipt of warranty, I doubt if we could get a replacement for this.

Away From Home

It is hard to accept sometimes that people have to work abroad away from their own home just to provide living for their family. Many people are working abroad and I knew how hard it is for them to be away from the family just to earn money for a living. Although there are lots of ways to get in touch with them like internet, telephone or mobile phone where they can call when they miss the family anytime of the day, still, being with them is the best way to spend birthdays, holidays, Christmas or any other occasions. Visiting local christian singles will be a great way to help them at least ease loneliness inside. It feels good to share the same views with friends and learn things from each other.

Bank Transaction

I was in a local bank a while ago to submit the requirements needed for failed transaction I did in my online banking account. It happened when I changed my password online but when I checked the ATM using the same card, it surprised me why ATM did not accept the password I just entered. While waiting for bank teller, I inquired about asset based lending which was posted in their bulletin. List of acquired assets were posted too and I wonder if those were unpaid loans that were sequestered by the bank. The price is quite affordable for anyone who wants to invest in house or land. My main purpose is to get a new card but we end-up discussing about lending and I went home unaccomplished. Anyways, I got some ideas about the difference of financing and lending. I shall return next week when the assigned teller comes back from vacation leave.

Board Games

During this kind of weather, we can't help but stay inside the house. We would just watch DVD or play online game. If I know how to play backgammon sets, then I would just invite friends and play games with us. I'm not really playing any board games but I remember when I was younger then, our father used to teach us Dama Chess. Yes, I still know a little about this one. Now, my children are not even playing scrabble or any board games and only fill their time on the computer when home. Sometimes, they watch players playing chess but never really focus on the game. Board games for them are boring. Children, even if they're not really interested with this kind of pastime, should know traditional games too and should pass this on to the next generation. I love the games of the past era and I missed those times when we would just sit down the floor and play cards. I miss the simplicity of life back then.

Old Friend

I was really surprised this morning when I received a message from an old friend in one social networking site. She's a good friend of mine way back in college and now based in US. I hardly recognized her face in her profile picture and took a second look to recall our old times together. And what do I expect for more than a decade of not seeing each other even online. She looks totally different now. Although she changed physically, her attitude and sweetness never change a bit. I honestly missed her and when we chatted this morning, I came to know how her life had been for more than a decade now. She had her own business now and a stable job but she's all alone in her life. Her story was touchy and told me that she might just register in one networking site where old singles meet in particular. She will spend her Christmas in the country and hope to meet her again soon.

New Investment

I bought a present for a very good friend who will celebrate a grand birthday party this coming week. I had a hard time choosing what to give but then finally ended up with an inspirational book. I was supposed to send the item via courier but since she just moved in near Baytown Texas, I delayed it till I confirm and check the new address. I just chatted on her online this morning and said that last week seemed to be the longest week in her entire life. Moving in gave her so much pressure and needed a grand vacation to unwind after her birthday celebration. She just bought a new house after seven years of living in the states. She was a bit emotional leaving the old house but as said, moving is just part of life. She's happy with the new investment though and planned to have another celebration, a house warming by mid of the month.

Moving In

Moving is stressful right? I knew it since we have moved thrice already in less than five years. But moving in is only stressful if you do it by yourself. Why not let the movers like webster tx do it for you. No stress, no damage and what more, you are guaranteed 100% of their expertise in moving.

We moved in to our new abode last year due to major damaged brought by typhoon. And since we all were scared for any calamity to happen again, we moved in to a higher place. It was really stressful to think that we only asked help from our friends nearby. Some of our things were left scattered and other furnitures were broke. I was a bit depressed when my favorite picture frame suddenly dropped down the floor and broke into pieces. But I just kept my mouth and thanked our friends for the help. I was really sad, I should have hired people who were expert in moving instead.

Winning a Trophy

I still remember when my daughter was in her kindergarten years. I always encouraged her to join all the events in school. She's a shy type of girl and hardly attend any school program but I pushed her and told her that it wasn't about winning but joining the event. So when she joined the contest, I gave her all the support and told her to just carry herself and present herself confidently. She never thought about going home with the title. So when her name was announced as the winner in the later part of the program, we were all surprised. The presenter gave her the biggest trophy as she bested the other participants and got the Best in Costume award. She captured the heart of the judges because of her way of presenting her costume and that made her a big winner. Other runner up participants received trophies too.

After all these years, her trophy is still in our house and well kept as a souvenir of her achievement during her preschool years.

Getting a Good Tan

I don't have fairly white skin but I love my skin color the way it is now just like any other Asian ladies with natural skin tone. For some who think nothing but summer just to have sun kissed look, they only wait for that season to expose themselves into the sun using sunblock for darker tan. I prohibit myself doing such as it may cause serious damage to my skin. Other people try tanning bed lotion to achieve the tan color they want for their skin. Sporting tan can add a more exotic look even without putting make up. Some women already have darker tan and that brings appeal even more to many men. Fair skinned ladies are trying hard to get a perfect tan while I am already blessed exerting no effort like going out to the beach to get a tan.

We're Back Home!

We're finally back home after a very tiring weekend. My niece who just celebrated her birthday had truly enjoyed her moment yesterday at the province. It was full house literally with some of her classmates who came over to celebrate. Even if the space is crowded for more than ten visitors to stay overnight, I knew seeing their emotions through their eyes that they enjoyed the party. Even if we're lack of furniture in the house, nobody complained how uncomfortable it was for them. In any occasions like this, I always wish we have enough facilities to accommodate more visitors comfortably. If only I have enough money right now, I would buy a rest house with Contemporary Furniture so that visitors would feel more comfortable during their stay.

I miss life in the province with these in my mind, sleep in a hammock, breakfast in nipa hut, and of course if I may wish for more, a high speed internet so that I could blog while at the same time enjoying vacation.

Short Breaks

I never knew that stress can be beneficial too and that is when the cause of stress is just a petty thing. It helps you focused more, becomes alert at times and your body gets energized. But when stress causing problems are too big, that's when you need to take short breaks with your family. School, social and financial are some of the reasons that cause us a headache sometimes. I guess all of us need vacation. Last month was the toughest for me. I get to absorbed the stress in my older daughter. At her age, she already had faced social stress at school. But with my guidance, it sure helped her cope up the problem. Being a mother is a tough job. Thanks that I have this blog to write about my rants and ramblings everyday. But I still need a break. I want it now!

Forex Seminars

My online earnings are in USD and are really affected every time dollar rates drop badly. Same goes with my sister who works for a publishing company that exports articles abroad. They sell articles and get paid in dollar. She always wish that dollar exchange rate goes up again or the company's revenue will suffer, worst to happen is to declare bankruptcy or just close. I have no knowledge about investing money in the market but I want to put my money into something that will give a boost in my account. We both need to attend Forex training seminars so that our hard earned money will not be affected when dollar fluctuates. Right now, I just keep my online earnings in my account and would only withdraw once the dollar rate goes up again. Yay! It's my two months earnings and I want to save that for one big purchase next year. I guess you knew it. A high end DSLR!

missed opportunity

I've got too many opportunities that I missed online. Yesterday was quite a long day for me, did my household chores and attended first quarter Parent-Teacher Conference for my older daughter. I'm glad that she's doing good in class. Although from time to time I sneak into my computer, still I got no time updating my blog. I talked with my old classmate who is now leaving in Canada today and that online time ate much of my day without knowing I've been in front of my computer for few hours already. I didn't bother to ask her if she knows date toronto. But even without asking her, I knew that she had a great time now with her life in her new home. Now I am back to my usual routine and I hope to accomplish some of my pending tasks online today.
