Referred by whom?

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Have you been called by a local hotel to tell you that you are selected for a free hotel night in any of their hotel branches? I have been contacted several times by a local hotel to go to their office to get my certificate. I decline these offers. Always. I just feel like it’s a scam of some sort. Because you know, when you ask them how they got my number, they would just tell me someone referred me to them. When you ask them who it is, they won’t tell you who. Why??? Fishy, don’t you think?

Personal greeting

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

For some people, it is hard to compose even a piece of note. What more a personal greeting? For those people who struggle with words, a free greeting card is a simple solution when you need to send a greeting to someone. Send an e-card! There’s no need for you to shell out any money unlike when you buy a greeting card and send it by post. A greeting card at NetFunCards.com is free!

If you want to send someone a greeting – a simple hi or happy birthday or you are being missed – go to NetFunCards.com now and go send the one that is appropriate to the person you are sending it to.

BYBS: Burst of inspiration

I admit that I need a reminder from time to time. You know, just a little something to jolt me into action. I do tend to be a bit lazy on slow days (which is almost every other day for me hehe) and it would drag on and on. And then something comes up that will remind me to go back on track. Kakahiya but that’s me :hihi
The past week was a blessing to me really. I needed something to inspire me and then it came out of nowhere. Little things bring inspiration to us, we are just too busy to notice it at times. Good thing I was paying attention so I didn’t miss it.
;)

Happy Sunday everyone!

Help desk

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

I will tell you a secret dream I have… to become an IT support! :D When I told a close friend of mine about this dream I have, she was not surprised anymore. She knew how much I love helping others solve technical problems. Of course, I will be the first one to tell you that I am no expert. I graduated with a degree in Accountancy. I only know what I learned through trial and error and from the research I do. Help desk is what those close to me call me.

But for those who are really interested in putting up a customer support in their web sites, manned by someone who is a technically competent person, there is a Help desk software that you can use. The help desk script I am talking about is named “HESK”. It is a free script, alternative to commercial customer support help desks. Just imagine, you put up a web site that offers say, shared web hosting. But then you are not financially sound yet to hire a technical support person to be there to provide help. So instead of crippled by that little problem, why not get a free customer support software that runs with a MySQL database. A ticket-based support system is now set up for your web site.

Like I always say, customer support is very important. The after-sales is as important as the before and during. You just never know when your customer is someone big who has the potential to become a repeat customer. Or better yet, who has a legion of friends who are all potential customers themselves.

So if you want to become a great business, better provide a help desk at your web site where customers, existing and potential ones, can create a ticket when needed. And for the free help desk software you need, go to PHPJunkyard.com now.

Professional help

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

It could start with occasional drinking. Or the weekend partying. It could be the the one bottle every now and then. And then it could lead to something big. Because underneath that bottle or glass of alcohol, there is a problem deeper than the bottom of the glass.

A family member, a friend or a love one might be in need of alcohol treatment. If you think he or she does, seek professional help right away! Go to TheCyn.com and read all the information you need. The Canyon is a world renowned rehabilitation and treatment center. They can help you and your love one survive a problem brought on by addiction. It could either be addiction to alcohol or substance abuse.

There is no shame in seeking professional help. What is shameful is letting a love one you believe is suffering from alcohol or drug addiction deal with it by himself. Or worse, denying the problem even existed. Seek help fast! For alcohol and drug addiction help, go to TheCyn.com now.

Auto Love

Friday, February 20th, 2009

It was about two years ago that I was fully acquainted with Honda cars. The company I was employed at is partial to this car brand. The reason why they are partial to it, I was told when I asked, is that this car brand is never made into car for hire in this part of the globe. And when I checked, there is a clause in the agreement that the buyer will sign when he buys a Honda car that he is indeed not allowed to turn his car into a car rental vehicle.

Have you seen the Honda Fit already? It is a subcompact that has an improved visibility unlike other cars. My friend’s father is into Honda cars. That’s why when I go to his place to chat and his dad is there, chances are, his Honda cars will come up with the conversations. He is eyeing this car for some time now, I know. So when I asked him about it, he already has a list of the wonderful safety features like the antilock disc brakes, front seat side airbags and full-length side-curtain airbags. If I am the buyer, I will look into the safety features first and foremost. With so many vehicular accidents happening these days, safety of the passengers should be a priority. And clearly, the Honda Fit prioritized safety.

And then there’s the Honda Hybrid. This is designed with the younger market in mind. It is a green car that cuts your fuel consumption significantly. If you are in a budget and is looking for a car, this one is for you.

The Honda Civic Hybrid is a bit pricey but since it’s a Honda, you are assured of your money’s worth. What Honda car will you buy?

Cute kids

cute-kids
They’re so cute! You should have seen Bianca’s rosy cheeks.

Hazel and I went to meet with Raquel and her kids, Maria and Bianca, this morning. They are here in the Philippines right now for a vacation. Raquel and I were supposed to meet before but she was pregnant with Bianca then and she had some things to attend to. This is the first time we’ve met in person. We’ve been online friends for over a year now, if I am not mistaken. It’s good to finally see her in person. And her beautiful kids! I just love Maria’s smiles and Bianca’s wide-eyed stares :)
Hazel was talking non stop about them when we went home. Thanks, Raq! :D See you again soon!

From me with love

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Sometimes I feel guilty that I don’t have much time for my close friends. That’s why I send them a shoutout from time to time. Mostly through an email or those free love cards that you can find at Net Fun Cards. There are times when they send a text message and I am too busy, I won’t be able to send them a reply. I feel guilty every time that happens. But there are just days when schedule was really bad.

If you are like me and would like to send your friends some love, go to NetFunCards.com and choose a love card to send to a friend. You just never know when one needs it.

Good versus Evil

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

One of my most favorite songs in this world is Everything by Lifehouse. When I have some tasks to finish at night, I open my YouTube account and choose videos of songs I like. For some time now, I have been noticing this video of Everything that instead of the video from the band itself, it has a skit about good versus evil. You can see it below…

My favorite song was interpreted differently! I love this skit. Very inspirational. No wonder this skit was performed in churches in the US. You better watch it if you have time. For a good dose of inspiration for those who are wavering in their faith.

The video will make you feel His presence once more. You know, we always give priority to our lovelives, money, vanity, vices. We forget that we also need to say thanks to Someone who guides us every step of the way. This video will remind us that He is just there, behind all our priorities, waiting for us to acknowledge Him, even every now and then.

I am also posting the complete lyrics of Everything (after the jump) so you can read the whole song while watching the video. (more…)

Curious Hazel

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Hazel is becoming more and more curious about her surroundings. She would touch anything. Rags, chicken wire, dirty sleepers, grocery items… everything! Even my sister’s rubber stamps! A kid can be a fountain of questions. Once started, they won’t stop with the what’s this and the why’s. I try to answer all her questions and would tell her not to touch plugs. Hopefully, I am doing a good job. I am an impatient person but good thing with Hazel I am learning to be patient more and more.

I am…

Oh yes, that’s what I feel at the moment. So I won’t be making any entries except this one.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day :)

Different topics

Monday, February 16th, 2009

I love talking to persons who can keep up with my shifts in topic. Sometimes, I just can’t focus on a single topic that I constantly shift from one topic to another. My close friends know this quirk of mine. That’s why I can talk to them about books now, then car lifts the next, then music to movies. Of course, I don’t talk about things I, or I know the person I am talking to, know nothing about.
