Mailboxes etc.

I find mailboxes really cute, don’t you just love them? I used to love drawing as a kid, who doesn’t? And I specifically remember every time I drew a house, with a garden and a doghouse, I can never forget the mailbox out front. The traditional residential mailboxes I drew, I color them yellow and then red for the flag. I even had a lunch box which is a total replica of a mailbox, not as big though. During the time I got it as a gift, I was a little too old to bring lunch boxes to school so I put it in my room and placed stationeries in it. As a kid, you would only have one image of a certain thing in your mind. That’s how I imagined mailboxes, yellow box and red flag, I never thought it had so many variations like the commercial mailboxes, single and multi unit mailboxes, one that you can mount on your wall, and post mount mailboxes. Nowadays, it is being manufactured by a lot of big companies who are dedicated to high quality and sold all over the world.

INTERNET marketing bootcamp

You might be wondering what I did during the weekend. I actually did something worthwhile and I was sober, mkay? That’s right no booze fest for me. Im always on duty during the past weekends so I can’t really get hammered. Anyways, what did I do? Well, I went to the Internet Marketing Bootcamp, a one day seminar on online marketing which was conducted by US Auto Parts Philippines, a BPO company that provides online marketing services.

For someone (I mean me) who started blogging around 2005 and is getting the hang of it just around 2007 (shut up) this bootcamp was rather informative. They talked about a lot of important stuff like SEO and SEM, affiliate marketing, and web analytics. My knowledge about these things are minimal and I learned them as I was blogging. So this bootcamp really enlightened me. I just hope I can properly use what I’ve learned. The seminar was followed by a jobfair, unfortunately I did not bring my resume. I really found it intersting and do you remember my #4 on this list, hhmmm could this be the first step to a new career? My options are open. Anyway, the bootcamp is held weekly, every Saturday, until March 1st. For those of you who really want to learn, I suggest you read the details and request for an invite here now.

Las Vegas Smile Make Over

I used to have crooked teeth and so I wore braces. Of course my teeth were fixed, however, it was too soon to take my braces off even if my teeth were already corrected. I didnt see anything wrong with taking them off, in fact, I hated having them on, but now I see why I shouldn’t have insisted doing so. MY TEETH ARE GOING BACK TO BEING CROOKED LITTLE BY LITTLE! It’s unnoticeable though, but I consulted the dentist already and its gonna take about as much money if I had braces again, it doesnt matter that used to have them before because we’re starting from scratch. It’s hard to smile nowadays. Oh those celebrities are somehow lucky specially those who can consult Las Vegas cosmetic dentist. That is why they always have pretty smiles, they have nicer and whiter teeth. Definitely worth showing off to everyone around. He’s not just your ordinary dentist, I’m talking about cosmetic dentistry. It’s just one cool make over, I’d say. There are several procedures available that could just do the magic for everyone. There are so much make overs being offered in the market now, but this is something I think worth investing on. I hope you will consider the one that’s really essential and hygienic. Cosmetic dentistry must be the one for you. So you can go ahead and flash that winning smile!

On going global

Is there anybody around in this age of technology that has not gone online or is not a member of a global network? I honestly think there is one, even if everyone in this world is  becoming internet savvy.  Oh well, except the newborn of course!  I am just overwhelmed that there are so much brilliant minds that create and offer a site for one to be able to join a global network.  I mean there is so much opportunity for you to just be yourself, express yourself, meet people from different parts of the world.  The link and connection is just amazing! These social and global networks have allowed a lot of kids today, like Neil Crespi, to be more creative and outgoing. In relation to this, I am in awe of young minds creativity in writing - - reading their blogs and publications eats up a lot of my internet tiime - - reaching globally and getting global attention, what more could you ask for?  All you have to do is spend 30 seconds of your precious time to sign up and go global! You wouldn’t regret having done so.

Retirement planning

My mom retired recently, she’s not old though, so she had to avail of the early retirement plan that her workplace offered. Of course my mom, like any other person who retired, would want to make sure this won’t just go to wastage and losses so she planned carefully and alloted everything appropriately. Some people even take time to schedule consultation sessions with experts on money matters, estates, taxes, wills and testaments. I, too, would definitely want everything arranged properly for family and loved ones. You see, accounting is never my cup of tea, but Thank God for people who are ready to help! Just like in the San Diego estate law, retirement has never been exciting and this rewarding. Im sure there are services like that here, I really look forward to investing wisely my hard-earned money. Just imagine never fearing on loss of my money just on taxation and fees or money not going where it should go! You can now find a lot of accounting, taxation and estate professionals, who are ready to assist you make an informed decisions on all these matters.  So I would encourage you, to shelter your assets, it is after all the wisest thing to do.

Save more with Savebuckets

I haven’t really tried buying anything online because I always thought it was difficult. Im the type of shopper who spends a lot of time just trying to decide what brand to buy or which is a better product. A typical Libra, I weigh the pros and cons of all things, and that includes things I shop for. I try to look and compare every feature, that’s why it takes me a long time shopping. I just don’t want to make a mistake or regret my purchase. That’s why I never opted for online shops because I couldn’t really see the product, not unless Im buying something that I have been using before. Good thing I saw Savebuckets, its a free online shopping service which helps you search for the products you like and even quote a price that you can afford. This will really save you money. Nowadays, more people are inclined to gadgets and gizmos like laptops, mp3 players, digicams and cellphones and there are a lot of shops offering these products. With Savebuckets you can choose from an array of stores that offer the best in quality and they have this feature where you can send them your price range, they will then respond by sending you an email with the  link of the shop that matched your budget. They also offer online comparison of products’ prices, this can guide you and would make it easier for you to choose. The website is easy to navigate and user-friendly. It shows you pictures of the products, its specifications and features for easier comparison with other brands.

Five things I want in 2008

What? Two weeks without updates and you come back with a meme? My shift sucks cus im at primetime. Hello outages, hello mail support, hello escalations, hello coaching. Gaah. Good thing I found time to answer this meme, also because this Ade person did it on his website! Ok, Its hard to think of just five things because I still don’t have half of the stuff that was on my Christmas list. But the meme that I got tagged with wants just five. gaah. From the list I had, I just bought the PSP and a new phone (not the N95 though ) but its ok cus I know I will get them this year. *crosses fingers* So, what else am I wishing for? Think, think, think… AHA!!

1. I want to go diving in Palau  - It is, after all, #1 in the underwater wonders of the world because of its rich marine habitat. With the summer season fast approaching and Palau being near the Philippines, I wouldn’t mind flying there to see their famed Rock Islands, spend a good week (or at least 5 days) under their waters (err…) or just basking under the sun, sipping pinacoladas, listening to good music, aahhh the life. 

2. I want a car or my own condo unit - I have been asking my parents for a car since graduation and well, you know how parents are, they would always answer "Baket hindi ka maghanap ng magandang trabaho at magipon ka ng pambili mo?" (Why dont you look for a job that pays good and save up for a car?) I always say, the rule about money is to never spend your own. Well, obviously that didnt help. Now, we all know about my house trouble, so I want my own place that way I dont have to worry about housemates leaving or rent shares. Of course, this should be bought by my parents too. hehe

3. I want my own domain - I just want one. Should I get one? I kinda like tweaking with designs and templates for fun. What a geek this Penny.

4.  I want a new job, I guess? - Not that I hate my job, its still ok, but there are times that it seems boring, it doesnt have the same sparkle it did when I first got here. I dunno, maybe because I’ve been in this industry for two years now doing the same thing. Although, I haven’t taken any steps in finding a new job and I don’t feel the urgency to do so, YET. My job pays a lot, but it goes mostly to bills, so how else could I afford want #1 and #3 and all the others?

Lastly, and the most important one, 

5. I  WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT!! -  I say this with conviction! Its been, what? Two months since I found out that I lost 6 pounds and said that Im trying to get it back. Well, guess what, I lost two more. I don’t know why. Do you guys know of some weight gaining, whatever, I could take/do? Something that isnt illegal and safe. Or, will somebody use voodoo on me and make me fat? IM KIDDING.

Oh and also, I want to put up a bar/resto/grill, I did not study business administration for 4 years just to sit around and talk to crazy people who do not deserve to have computers and dsl connection. I want my own bar so I have a place where I can get hammered every night and host booze fests all weekend, without paying! Coz I own the place! LoLz
