Grateful

Monday, November 30th, 2009

There’s a sale of area rugs at the store nearby. I told my aunt about it because I know she’d be interested considering they are renovating their new house as well as part of their recruitment office.

I help relatives who are close to me in any way I can. If I can direct them to cheaper products they need, then I do so. If they need help with their company books, I do it for free. Anything for as long as I can do it. That’s because there were times that I was the recipient of their help. I never forget those times.

Celebrity blogger

Monday, November 30th, 2009

A local celebrity is running a fairly new blog. This early, traffic is really, really good. In fact, he’s looking to get a server of his own, a rackmount perhaps, because his site crashed just after three days. Heavy traffic. Just imagine if a lot of people are already going back and forth in his blog.

That’s the difference between a celebrity blogger versus a regular blogger like you and me. The celebrity blogger can spew garbage and people will still visit his/her blog just to check if there’s something juicy going on. Whereas a regular blogger like you and me can blog about so many interesting things and still get little to no traffic. Even in the world wide web, life’s not fair.

New laptop units

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Tim and I are always talking about laptops. Both our units died out on us already and since we have this weird thing where we can write and think clearly when using our laptops, we really need to buy new ones as soon as possible.

I am checking out different brands. I read reviews and forward some interesting ones to Tim. And then we discuss. We plan on buying new units anytime now. It’s just a matter of deciding on which brand and model will give us our money’s worth.

For health reasons…

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I am actually open to trying out anything that can help me lose weight. There’s adipex diet pills, or going back to the gym, running two blocks every morning, slimming tea… It is essential that I lose weight even a little. It’s part of the plan for next year. It would be hard to go back still looking like this.

If and when the plans for next year won’t push through, I still would like to lose weight. For health reasons…

Affordable curriculum online

Friday, November 27th, 2009

More and more parents are homeschooling their kids. For one reason or another, they feel that they can give them the educational support their kids need. Of course, the parents can’t just formulate what they will teach their kids. They still have to follow certain guidelines set by the local education department of the government. Locally, I know a couple of kids being homeschooled by their parents and one by a governess. And all those kids are doing good. They follow a curriculum set by a local school. The thing is, I know that they have paid quite a premium for the curriculum they got.

If you want an affordable one, get a curriculum online from Global Student Network. They have a curriculum that is targeted for the homeschool student. I know that there was a certain case of bullying in a local school that scared a neighbor. Now that her kid is ready to go to school, she is thinking of homeschooling her instead. I will tell her about Global Student Network and how she can be guided with regards the education of her kid.

If you are interested, too, go to GlobalStudentNetwork.com or call their toll free number at (866) 446-9963 now.

Harping about changes

Friday, November 27th, 2009

You might have noticed that I kept on harping about some changes that will be happening to me by next year. The reason why I do that is to motivate myself to follow through my decision. Otherwise, if I keep quiet about it, I might get cold feet and back out again.

Do I really need to make a change? Yes, I do. I need to. I am praying it is the right decision because I don’t feel like going back. Although with the income I am making now, it is impossible to get the things I want out of life…

Seize every opportunity

Friday, November 27th, 2009

I seize every opportunity that I am feeling masipag. When I do, I make a list of the things needed to be done and I don’t stop until I am really tired and about to keel over. Because it’s rare these days that I feel inspired enough to work myself to death. Not because of anything else ha. I just feel lazy most days. It’s the holiday spirit kasi hehe

So today, I am working really hard tinkering with my cpanel. I am just arranging things for next year. Might be less time blogging for me since I just might go back to join the rat race once more. Scary!
