| Religion according to George Carlin |
| 2008-07-03 00:28:17 |
I never really knew Carlin">George Carlin other than I saw his name attached to the inspirational quotes I read entitled "The paradox of our time in history". That is what I can remember about him because I thought he wrote it, but then when I looked it up online I found out that Bob Morehead wrote it-he is the original author. Well, I don't really know who's who there since that is only what I read. It...

This is a tag that was passed on to me by my sister Nora. Thanks sis for including me among the few you chose to pass this tag on to. I like this tag because I get to expose my husband...LOL-just kidding. Anyway, here I go, I'll let him have it.

| Worry free online shopping |
| 2008-07-02 17:34:53 |
Nowadays it is not always safe shopping online anymore, because you know, just last month my husband got his credit card number stolen. He received a fraudulent e-mail and actually fell for it, so someone used his credit card number to purchase something online. He later discovered that when he checked his bank account online, and he is fortunate enough that it didn't cost him a lot of money. So...

I am getting tired just sitting pretty at home and going nowhere, so I applied for a job. Hopefully, I will get a call and be working somewhere around here to be able to make extra money. I am planning to save money and get things done in my life. If I sit and wait nothing will ever happen to me. I could sit at home until my hair turns gray...LOL. So, I am beginning to make a move on and change...

| Cheap car rentals and summer special discounts |
| 2008-07-01 21:34:25 |
My husband has a friend in California who always likes to come to Michigan for a visit. He was just visiting us last year; he stayed here for at least a couple of weeks. Now we will be expecting him again for sure, only at this time money is tight with him. So, if he ever decides to take a trip to Michigan, he would have to cut corners. He might be able to manage if he can save money on renting a...

| Shopping for summer shoes |
| 2008-07-01 20:35:58 |
This summer we are planning about hanging out in the nearby beach here, and at the moment, I am shopping around for some comfortable shoes to wear. So far I have my eye on these Blowfish Shoes that are nicely designed and seems like they are comfortable to wear. I am looking to get a pair of flip flops for walking in the beach. I saw a pair of beaded flip flops that are affordable enough for me...

| Carpooling helps people save time and money |
| 2008-07-01 15:53:44 |
The gasoline prices are still sky rocketing-it is ongoing. Now here is a seemingly great idea to avoid having to worry so much about paying for high gas prices, because you can carpool. I think it helps people save time and money. Not only that, it is very difficult to divide your time sometimes, so carpooling would be ideal. See, if you are too busy to be able to make it with taking your...

| How I bought my laptop computer |
| 2008-07-01 14:35:17 |
I recently bought a laptop/notebook and so, here, let me share about how you should go about buying a laptop. It is actually easy if you know what brand you want and what you need, if not then you could use the notebook computer buying guide. Anyway, first hand you should already know how much you need of the following; disk space, memory, and screen resolution. See, with me I figured that I only...

At last, I was able to cook the pork with mixed vegetables that we call "Pinakbet" at home. Wow, pinakbet is delicious, it taste great! I liked it a lot, and you know just today I was going to cook another batch of it, but then I forgot the main ingredient...LOL. I arrived home and prepared the vegetables then when I was about to cook them I remembered that I need pork. Oh, I forgot it, now I put...

Summer time is a good time to have fun under the sun. However, for the boat owners, it is not always about fun because one must take responsibility when operating a boat. People should never go Boating Operating Under the Influence because it is hazardous not only to themselves but with others. Now if you are planning to go boating, be sure to take at look at this Arizona Boating website for...

| At last I am seeing people from my hometown |
| 2008-06-24 19:43:03 |
I am finally finding a number of people from my hometown at Friendster. Wow, how exciting. When I checked before I didn't find any of them, but now I do. The only problem is that they have changed so much; looks wise, that I didn't recognize some of them. So what I did was just come by their profiles and look around. When I see someone from my hometown that I don't recognize I would just wonder...

| I want to visit Spain someday |
| 2008-06-23 23:51:15 |
I am curious about the country of Spain because you know, Spain contributed to our Spanish heritage and culture. So, that alone makes it fascinating for me to be able to go see Spain, someday, if ever. So far I am finding out some information about where to stay and how cheap it is to take a leisure tour around wherever city people desire to explore or visit. See, there is a way that you can get...

We went to get something to eat the other day; fast food, and we planned to only order a take-out, but we ended up eating out. My husband didn't want to really stick around because he didn't like the way the restaurant look on the inside. He also had inkling that the food would not be as good as what he read based on a customer's review online. However, I always try to convince him to stay and...

| Be stress free without feeling sleepy |
| 2008-06-23 17:12:59 |
Sometimes I feel so stressed just arguing with my family members and dealing with my personal problems. It makes my head spin, and then I feel like sleeping. Life is really full of things that can stress you out. I hate to have to go to work and put up with people in chaos especially during the holidays when everybody is frantically busy. Stress is really common with people working in the office,...

I have not been updating my blog a lot lately since I am getting bored and actually lazy. I am also thinking outside the box, what I mean by that, is that I am getting tired of sitting around the house not making any money. I need to have a steady income. My blog is fun but sometimes I am just too bored to be able to make any updates. You know I would like to get a job, but if not, then I would...

Here is something that made me think more about saving my baby's cord blood. See, I still want to have more children someday; I hope to have boys, too. So with that in mind there is a possibility for me to look in to this new way to cure deadly diseases by having access to the cord blood. I have read and heard that it can be really helpful when it comes to life threatening diseases. I also...

It's been almost a week since I have not jot down anything on any of my blogs. Oh, we have been sick for weeks with stomach flu especially Tiana and Hannah. They both had it bad, so they lost quite a lot of weight. Thank goodness though that now they are feeling better. They are not vomiting anymore.

Today we went shopping and I was able to buy a few things for the 3 of us; my daughters and me. I bought a hobo bag-I like hobo bags, and a silk top for myself. As for my daughter I bought dresses and summer clothes for them. Oh, I really enjoy shopping every once in a while. It keeps me upbeat. I also like to go to the park and ride my bike, so I feel lively. Anyway, my life is not that exciting...

My husband is having trouble seeing. He actually had a surgery to be able to see better instead of using eye glasses, but it seems like it only last for so long. Consequently, now he can't see small prints, unless he has eyeglasses on. The only problem with him is that he doesn't want to spend a lot of money buying eye glasses. However, here is this website that sells $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx...

| Avoid high gas prices by shopping right from home |

I enjoy shopping online but I hate it when I have to pay a lot of money just for shipping. See, recently I have been buying table covers and my, it cost almost double due to the shipping cost. However, I just found out about another website where I can find money saving coupons to use to shop at any store I like online. As a matter of fact, I don't have to worry about the shipping cost because...

I browsed the Internet for a web hosting package before because I needed a space for my personal website. And you know I had to look around for a while to find the best web hosting package that fit my needs. I was only looking to find a basic web hosting package and fortunately I found a very affordable web hosting package. The downfall was that I didn't have enough monthly bandwidth. Having a...

The school year is almost over and there will be so many families back on the road taking leisure vacations. I wish we can do the same, as I would be interested in travelling across country fun tour of the U.S.A. What really makes a vacation fun is the journey and being able to have your very own RV. Having an RV is very convenient and, of course, comfortable for the whole family to travel. My...

I think I am feeling better now though, but my husband and children are still very sick with stomach flu. Tiana keeps vomiting and she has been sick for weeks-off and on. The Doctor prescribed something to prevent heartburn, because the Doctor thinks she has acid reflux. I got sick just when Tiana was feeling better last week, and now Tiana has it again. She is followed by Hannah and then their...

I meant to share some snapshots I have taken of my workstation and my new desktop computer some time ago, but I never was able to do so. Now I decided to only share a photo of me by my workstation at home. It is where I do my graphic editing peeps and where I sometimes sit down to blog if my newly bought laptop is not available. I bought my desktop computer back in January 2008 I think it was. I...

I spotted a sale and now I owe money. I bought a laptop and some pricey bedding set using a credit card. On the other hand, I am glad to know that in case I need help with my debt-if to say I get in trouble, there are people I can talk to and go over the options available for me. As for now I don't think my situation is that bad though? So perhaps I am not yet in the situation where I would need...

| My husband adores the American Indian Art |

I found something that will definitely interest my husband because he is into buying art pieces, not just any art though but a certain one that he likes. He adores the look of those American Indian Chiefs. So he always tries to collect a piece of artwork whenever he comes across one that has the Indian Chief featured on it. Anyway, he will like it that there is a website where he can look around...

I hate it when advertisers go by a Rank">page rank when it is no longer reliable especially when Google is manipulating the system. Sometimes a page rank is gone because the GoogleBot detected certain keywords that are a tell-tale...

| Signature signing made easy |
| 2008-05-24 08:55:01 |
This is my first time to hear about how easy it is nowadays to sign something without having to actually write your signature yourself over and over again. I hate having to do it myself sometimes especially when we get a note from our daughter's school on weekdays. Now that is something I wish my husband and I have because it will make it easy for us to just stamp our signatures instead. I like...

I have been finding a number of bloggers giving away prizes. What I mean is holding contests on their blogs for exchange posts, links, and correct answers to their guessing games-for traffic-yes, in case you haven't heard about it, doing so can earn you a page rank. It is neat because people get to win something either some money or fancy stuff like jewelry, makeup set, and more. Perhaps that is...

And speaking of weddings; so far I thought one of my cousins had one of the best weddings I have ever seen because it all looked so fancy. It was like a fantasy because of all the flowers she bought to make her wedding seem romantic and elegant. My...

That is what I have been hearing lately since I subscribed to Yahoo uninterrupted launchcast music. I like it a lot and I am going to look for the midi format so I can add it here for my background...

If I am not too busy with my children I occupy myself with making scrapbooking kits that I give away for free.

What a great way to find a vacation spot. What I mean is, finding a place to stay is not so complicated and expensive because I discovered a way to save. Imagine people can actually book direct, which means booking it through the property owners. It saves a lot of money because it cuts off the cost that the agent usually gets when they are in the middle. So for those who of you out there...

| 2008-05-16 17:02:19 |
One of the major downfalls with companies nowadays is hiring employees without knowing their capabilities and means to be able to do the job right. It could cost millions of dollars because some people do seek for compensation when a mistake is made. A little thing goes wrong and the company is going down, so that is when employee screening comes as the most important factor. It helps make sure...

I learned that in order to get a page rank you have to update your blog almost on a daily basis. You have to post often which means you need not only quality posts but also quantity posts. So pay attention to having both on your blog. Do be sure that when you post, you...
