Strawberry jam

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

My sister learned how to make a strawberry jam and now she wants to do it. She will shop for the ingredients as well as kitchen tools she will need. She is a good cook so I believe the jam will turn out really fine. I am not much into strawberries but I may just try out my sister’s jam.

Berries are not very common in the city. There are some but not as good a quality as that from the Sharis Berries company. I want high quality berries! The little girl will also be eating so I don’t like anything that might give her problems later on.

Sweet gesture

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

A sweet gesture will never go unappreciated. So you gave the old man ashton cigars, he will talk about it again and again until nobody wants to listen to him anymore. He would then smile his special smile and you just know he is truly happy with the gift!

That’s how my paternal grandfather is. He loves gifts especially the ones which will make him look cool. Ha-ha-ha! I just love the old man. I know for a fact that he is proud of all of us his grandchildren. He tells all the neighbors and new found friends about us.

I am praying for more time with him and my grandmother.

Trying out photography

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

I have a DSLR that a friend of mine got for me. I must admit I am still learning the ropes on how to use it. My sister, on the other hand, is really good with cameras. She has her eye on the Nikon D90 SLR Camera and I just know she will be able to learn faster than I do with my own camera.

My sister told me she really want to try out photography. Become a pro is most likely what she’s referring to. And it’s fine with me! Hey, if it makes her happy, right?

Business launch

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

My sister has a former high school classmate who is now super rich. She has several businesses under her name, some she manages herself, the others are left with trusted people. My sister was invited to her friend’s most recent business launch. It is a spa business and my sister really got fixated with the spa cover she saw there. She told me that she booked a massage for me and our two other sisters and that she will show me the spa cover she’s talking about.

What I want is to be able to talk to her former classmate about business. I am interested in venturing into my very own business but I would want to get tips from those who are already successful in theirs.

Scary episode

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Do you know how important to have an online backup or any sort of backup is? If you don’t, I will tell you about it.

I had one big scary episode about two years ago. All my blogs as well as the other blogs of my sister and friends that I am managing were lost! A deadly code virus attacked my hosting cpanel and I was left to search for it and remove it. I was so scared that time because there were a lot of blogs under my hosting account and all of those blogs were attacked. One by one I repaired databases and put the sites back up. It took me three days to finish and even with those number of hours spent fixing the virus attack, I was still left with some files/data lost. I must say it was one scary episode in my online life that I have no intention of ever repeating now or in the future.

But I must admit that losing data and files is likely to happen to anyone. Even those who are securing their files very well. So what can we do to prevent losing data and files that are very important to us, especially for those who use the data and files in their work? Get an online backup service! It is one of the best ways to preserve and protect your valuable files. If what happened to me would happen to anybody it won’t be as scary an episode as it was to me because files are backed up and ready to be used/placed back to the place where it should be.

Each provider was reviewed and given a score percentage based on a number of factors like price, storage size, money back guarantee and most especially reliability and speed.

Increase in cash inflow

Monday, January 30th, 2012

When I met up with a colleague about a month ago, she told me about her plan of using the internet to increase her cash inflow. She is a single mom to twins and the kids are about to start pre-school this coming school year. She needs the additional income for her kids’ tuition fees. She has three existing web sites she can utilize to give her income through different online schemes like making one a pay per click website. One is an online shopping and fashion site, the other one is magazine-like site that offers tax and accounting information for non-accountants, and the other one is a personal blog. She has all three web sites running for a number of years now and all three rank high in search engine results. She knows she can use all three to give her additional income in the months to come. She gave me a run down of the steps she plans to take in order to start the ball rolling.

I told my old colleague about a neighbor who now lives abroad, opened an assisted living facility and utilizes an assisted living billing software to help her with her business. Both of them are single moms who needed an increase in cash inflow for their kids. My former neighbor is now a successful businesswoman while my old colleague is just starting out. I know her internet business will soon become a success knowing her determination and perseverance all too well as we worked for the same company for years.

Of course with all the business she is now conducting through her web sites, she must be sure to have a reliable partner in keeping all her data secure like an it consulting Dallas service provider. She needs it so that she is sure not to lose any important data and will always have someone to monitor her web sites.

Guys and their necklaces

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

My brother and his best friend have these stainless steel necklaces they found and bought online. They got it a couple of weeks ago and it became their regular accessory. You can tell that the necklace has become their signature look.

I know some guys who really love their necklaces. I had a huge crush on this guy back in high school who wore a black rubber-like necklace and a similar bracelet. If I am not mistaken, it was “in” on teens that time. It didn’t look too good on him because he was a bit serious-looking but the crush raged on. Ha-ha-ha!

I saw him on Facebook again and he still looks a bit serious but now with a generous smile. Hmm…
