My sister wants to buy her own laptop since she will need it to enhance her computer programming skills. She prefers to use it so she can bring it to school every now and then. So I asked her what brand and type of laptop she likes. She told me that she likes the one with high speed and memory because she needs to install some software for her major subjects.

I suggested that dell laptops with expandable dell memory will be great so she can install much software that she needs.

My daughter started her summer class at Toddlers Unlimited last week. Her class is at 10:30 Am and since my husband and I are both working, our set up was my mom and my dad was the one who will bring my daughter to school.

The set up was okay since we are assured that my daughter is in safe hands and it means that neither me or my husband has to take a leave from work to take my daughter to school. But having this kind of setup means we have to leave our car every Tuesdays and Thursdays so they have a car to use to take my daughter to school. For now that is okay, but come June I will enroll her to a three times a week schedule so it means that we won’t have a car to use to go to work three times a week.

So my husband and I have been thinking if we should buy another car so we have another car that we can use every time we have to leave the car for our daughter. Honestly, I’m really not sure if we can afford to get another loan to purchase a new car. Our housing loan won’t be finish for another year so getting a loan for a new car means an addition to our monthly budget. I told my husband that we should study our budget first before finally deciding if we will get another loan or not.

Good thing I found an online loan calculator so help us analyze the loan that we will avail and if it will fit our monthly budget. I tried using it and it very easy to use. I just need to enter the loan amount, loan term, interest rate, and the first payment date and it will show me a table for our amortization either by year or by month. It will give me an idea on how much is my amortization per month or year and my running balance. This will definitely help us decide if we will get a car loan or not.

I have been blogging for about four years now and I can say that it is one of my favorite past time. I started blogging way back in 2004 when we are preparing for our wedding. I created a blog to create an online journal about our wedding preparations from the selection of our suppliers, to searching for the best caterer and designer, to looking for the church and reception venue and even my ranting when I’m stressed out.

Then I gave birth to my beautiful daughter and that’s when I created a second blog dedicated for her to record her milestones, her experiences and her day to day antics. I never imagined that I will be able to maintain two blogs because of my busy schedule, but I did.

And so when my friends started to buy their own domain name for their blog, I joined the bandwagon and bought a domain name too for my third blog. This blog will be my own personal space on the web. It will just be about me. So I want it to be a little something special compared to my other two blogs.

So I was doing a lot of research on how I can customize it like changing the template, putting some banners and logos, so it will reflect my personality. Good thing I found the website of stylishdesign.com. It is a web design blog where I can get a lot of tips and information about web designing and even the technical aspects of web designing like search engine optimization techniques, the tools and software that I can use for designing my blog and even an explanation on how domain works.

This will be a really good read for me and for sure I will learn a lot from it and will help me in customizing and designing my own blog.

It has been a busy month for me to think that it is only the middle of the month. I haven’t got the time to really take a break and rest. But I’m happy that I was able to accomplish a lot. There is still a lot to be done but at least I’m making progress.

* I was able to finish my performance appraisal report and have submitted it already to my manager. I’m just waiting for his inputs so we can finalize it and submit it to the big boss.
* Bela just attended her first week at school. She did well and she really enjoyed her first week. Hope she will enjoy it more as she spends more time there and hope she won’t get bored.
* I was able to start on my new project, my new baby. Hope I will make more progress with it but for now I will keep it as a secret.
* I was able to help my friend look for an online medical equipment store. I already gave her the site of Allegro Medical and she can easily shop for the things that she needs here by just checking on all the items either by category, brand or condition. And she can even set an auto re-order so items will be automatically delivered to her based on the intervals she set.
* We were able to finish the invitation, tarpaulin and souvenir of Joaqui just in time for her party.

There are still a lot of things to be done, like I have to go to a salon for my much needed hair treatment. I have to bring Bela too for a haircut. Plus I have to enroll Bela for her swimming lessons. The list will just go on and on. But I know one a time; I will be able to accomplish all of this.

I am no cook. But my family loves to eat. I remember, every time we have a family gathering, food should always be the number one priority. So I highly rely on food delivery if ever I need to bring something for a gathering.

When I got married, I started to learn how to cook so I can cook something for my husband. But I highly rely on recipe books every time I plan our meals. And since I just rely on recipe book ever since, I’m running out of meals to cook so I always end up searching for more recipes on the net.

So I was really happy when I discovered the site of foodconnect.com. I immediately signed up to become a foodie and I immediately searched their site for a list of good recipes. One of my favorites is the Beef Stroganoff.

What I like about their site is that they really help me prepare my menu each week. What I would do is I would search their site for the recipe that I like and I can just add it to my shopping list. And once I am done, I can just easily print my shopping list.

Another feature that I like from foodconnect.com, is that I can submit my own recipe to them and they will give me a nutritional analysis of my recipe for free. And all of the recipes from their site always come with nutritional facts so I can be sure that I will be serving nutritious foods to my family by simply checking the nutritional facts.

And what’s even cool is that I can share recipes, techniques, and ideas to my friends and other foodies. Signing up is free, so join now and be one of the foodies.

Careers in the medical field are very in demand right now. In fact most of my friends from high school are now working as nursing assistant in the United States and they are really earning big bucks.

I even have a friend who is a licensed physician and is currently taking up cna training so he can become a nursing assistant. He said that he will earn more as a nursing assistant than as a physician so he didn’t mind that he has to take cna courses again even though he is already a doctor. According to him, in the long run it will be more beneficial for him since he will receive a much higher salary if he will work in the US as a nursing assistant.

And since there are a lot of cna schools available, he will not have a hard time looking for good schools, so he can be a nursing assistant real soon and start earning big bucks.

A lot of my friends have announced that are expecting their second baby. I’m really happy for them. As for me, I think the second baby has to wait for another year.

But as I read the stories of my friends about the joy that the new blessing is bringing to their lives, I can’t help but reminisce those days when I was pregnant too.

The first exciting experience for us as first time parent is our first ultra sound. The sonography technician was very patient with us as she explains to us what the different images are being shown on the screen. The sonography tech who attended to us must be really good at what she is doing because when my husband and I was looking at the images on the screen, we can’t seem to figure out what all of those images mean. But she was able to interpret all the images right away and she even explained it to us very clearly.

She must have got good education and training from a reputable sonography schools that’s why she is really doing a good job. I learned that there are a lot of sonography schools where anyone interested to have a career as a sonographer can get proper education. They can visit the site of medical-career-training.com for a list of those schools.

My husband covered an event last Saturday for the launching of the new building sponsored by our Congressman. This building will be a Training Center where constituents of our district can receive free technical and vocational trainings.

My friend attended the launching ceremony and she checked out the trainings being offered at the center. One of the trainings they will be offering is pharmacy technician training and my friend was really interested in taking it. She knows that pharmacy technician salary is competitive specially nowadays where there is a big demand for those in the medical field.

My friend is really decided in becoming a pharmacy tech. Hopefully, she will find the best training to help her become one.

I have a friend who is really into online gaming. Because of the hundreds of Online casinos available, she told me that her dilemma was she sometimes get confused on which online casino she should choose to play.

So while waiting for my husband to arrive from his photo shoot, I browse the net for Online casinos available and I stumbled upon the site of usplayerswelcome.net. It is a casino review site which features USA online casinos. By clicking on the name of the online casino, you will presented with information like promotions and bonuses offered by that casino, the type of games it offers, the currency and even the software it uses. And with just one click of the button, players can quickly enter the casino site and play.

For sure my friend will be happy with this as it can really help her select the best online casino for her.

Our family has made a promise that we will try as much as possible to visit and help at least one charitable institution every year. This is our own little way of showing our gratitude for all the blessings that we have been receiving. We know that this is not enough, but it is our own little way of passing forward the blessings that God has been showering us.

Last 2006, we visited the Missionaries of Charity and had a feeding program for the kids there. We we’re also able to gather donations form our friends and relatives that we we’re able to give to them. Last year we visited Hospicio de San Jose and had a feeding program also there.

We decided that we would try to visit a different charity every year, so I was doing my search on the net for the charity that we will be visiting this year and that’s how I stumbled upon the site of carangel.com and boatangel.org. They have a project called Donate my Boat to Charity. Their organization accepts Boat Donations and the proceeds of the sale of the boat will go to the charity chosen by the donor.


Project Donate Boats is a good way to help a charity for those individual who don’t have time to visit charities, gather donations and the like. Donate your boat now and for sure your old boat can help make a difference in someone else’s life.

Will you agree with me if I say that majority of people rely on the Internet as the source of all information?

This is the reason why both businesses and consumers use the Internet for the many benefits that it gives to both the consumers and the businessmen. Businesses use the Internet to promote their products and attract customers. On the other hand, consumers use the Internet to search for anything and everything that they need.

For example, a consumer is looking for best deals in hotel accommodation. So the potential customer uses the Internet to search for all the promos and deals on hotel accommodation. Most often than not, the search engine will produce hundreds and thousands of search results and what usually happens is that the customer will only check the first few pages. So it is also important for businesses that their site should have good positioning in the World Wide Web so that their company’s URL will be presented in the top 10 or top 20 of the search results. This is where Search Engine Optimization comes into play. SEO experts employ techniques that can help improve the positioning of the company’s site in the World Wide Web.

This is just one of the examples on how both the consumers and businesses benefit form the Internet. And I’m really thankful since I’m one of those consumers who benefited a lot form the Internet.

Do you sometimes wish that you will be able to record a live show to showcase your talents in acting or video making and broadcast it so that your friends, relatives and fans can watch it live for free? Well dream no more since I discovered a site that will allow you to do just that. Introducing blogTV.com.

All you need is a webcam and an Internet connection and then after recording your video you can make a live broadcast of your show. Another cool feature of this site is that it allows you to chat with your viewers so you can get their opinions and views on the live tv that you created. Isn’t cool?

Howell and I were able to visit our favorite Korean restaurant yesterday and had dinner there. What I like about the place, aside from the fact that the food is really good and affordable is that the place is very homey. It’s like we are just chatting and dining right at our own home. Another thing that I like about the restaurant is the owner who is personally managing their business so they really know each of their customers.

Yesterday, we had a small chat with the owner and she mentioned that they will soon open a KTV bar and restaurant in the Makati area. Howell and I have long wanted to put up a business of our own so we really enjoy conversions like this. She mentioned that there are numerous KTV bars in the area so competition is a little stiff so it will definitely be a challenge to attract customers especially in the first few months of operations.

Howell and I suggested that they should hire a Marketing Company that can help them make strategies to bring and drive customers to their new establishment. She liked the idea and she admitted that even though she has a vast experience in putting up a business, she believes getting help from marketing companies would be a good move to help them develop effective marketing strategies for their new business.

I’m just curious. A lot of people are saying that most women are really vain and this is evident by the numerous medicines, procedures and surgeries available to enhance the beauty and appearance of women.

But if there are products like this for women, are there male enhancement products available too? So out of curiosity I did a search on the net and found a site that offers numerous male enhancement products like penis enlargement pills, male enhancement patches, penis stretcher and the like.

So those this proves that men are vain too? I leave this all up to you to decide.

Every time I need to look for a restaurant, a product, or just about anything, I always rely on search engines to give me answers to whatever I’m looking for. But with hundreds and thousand of website available, I always get numerous pages of search results.

This made me realize how powerful Internet can be in a business. Since the advent of the Internet, a lot of people rely on the Internet to find anything and everything they are looking for. But it is still not enough though, that company has internet sites. It is very important that company has internet sites and their websites have good positioning and ranking in the World Wide Web. Otherwise, if a person makes a search the company’s website link with just be buried in the last few pages of the search page results.

As an IT professional myself, I highly recommend businesses to hire professionals who can implement Search Engine Optimization techniques to their website. These search engine optimization experts uses strategies like keyword and key phrase optimized web copy, web site submissions, linking, and the like to help increase the website’s positioning and ranking in the World Wide Web. By employing search engine optimization techniques to a company’s website, they help drive customers to the company.

In today’s modern world where customers uses search engine like Google and Yahoo, it is really of prime importance that company’s websites should have high positioning in the World Wide Web to get more customers knocking at their doorstep.

Ever since our system got upgraded from Windows NT to Windows XP, we have been enjoying the benefits of Microsoft Windows remote access. Since our office occupies three floors, we don’t have to go to each floor or each client, every time they need technical support. We just have to run the Windows remote desktop to gain access to the desktop of the client.

This technology is really very useful, easy to use, effective and saves a lot of time for us Information Technology professionals. My boss has been reviewing the benefits that we get from this remote support technology and have asked me to find a way to use this same technology for remote trainings.

Right now, every time employees from the Asia region needs technical training for a particular software, trainers from headquarters conduct training by phone which is really not effective since participants don’t get a picture and control of the computer applications.

So I tried searching the web and discovered RHUB Web Conferencing technology. It uses the same technology as Microsoft Remote Desktop and it allows sharing of computer applications among groups of participants over the Internet. It is one effective way to conduct trainings remotely so participants can get to see and control the shared computer applications.

What’s best about this web conferencing tool is that it is very easy use so ordinary users who don’t have that much knowledge about IT won’t have a hard time using it.

I will review this product more so I can present this to my boss and hopefully we can use this web conferencing tool for the next remote training that will be attended by our Property section.

I was just talking with my husband last night and we both decided that we should think of a new investment so we can start saving for our future. Our cell phone store is not doing really good as sales are continuously dropping. Our piggery is not doing good as well as the prices of piglets are dropping too.

So we are really looking for a new way to invest our money. The criteria that we are looking for is a solid investment that don’t easily depreciate, and one that is unique and will really protect our investment. So I have been surfing the net and found the site of Monex.com.

I have been reading the information on their site and I have come to learn that buying gold is one of the best investments since it is one of the best ways to preserve one's wealth. And I can easily buy gold from their website and they can personally deliver it or they can arrange for its safe storage in a bank.

We are definitely considering gold as one of our future investments. We just have to check for our budget to decide when can we starting buying gold from Monex.

It’s almost the end of the month again and I suddenly remember that March 31 will be the last day where we can avail free dental procedure from our health plan provider for this fiscal year. I remember during my last checkup, the Lincoln Dentist informed me that I have an impacted tooth which needs to be removed right away since it will be really a burden for me in the long run. It’s been almost a year now and I still haven’t done the surgery yet to remove my impacted tooth.

I notice recently that this impacted tooth is starting to bother me as I sometimes experience terrible tooth ache and I have to take a powerful pain killing medicine for the pain to go away.

But I’m one of those people who are really scared to go to a dentist. I have taken good care of my teeth and never have I experienced any tooth extraction procedure. So if ever I proceed with this surgery, this will be my first major dental procedure which brings more fear to my system.

But scared or not, I realized that this surgery has to be done as soon as possible before this impacted tooth worsen. I hope I can find a Nebraska Dentist who can provide quality service, has a gentle touch and who understands my fears and will really take god care of me.

I was able to arrive home early today as we have an early closure and so I was able to find the time to browse the net while I’m still not sleepy. I was just browsing some sites until I stumbled upon the site of the 10 Sexiest Hollywood actresses in 2007. And guess who tops the list? The big winner is Jennifer Aniston.

She is really one sexy woman. This makes me wonder if her body is all natural or if she has undergone some cosmetic surgery procedure like having saline breast implants.

But whether she has gone under the knife or not the fact still remains. She is really one sexy and beautiful woman and she really deserves to be 2007’s Hollywood sexiest actress.
