Every minute spent thinking things up…

Precious life

Stepping off

I saw this really cool photo of a 3D drawing (shown above) and it reminded me of my goal for this week: to get term life insurance for someone. I need to do this right away because the existing one will expire by the 28th of this month! The person is traveling with some people I know and I was asked by him to get the new term life in effect as soon as possible.

And I am about to go and get the quotes now!

Thank goodness for Facebook updates by friends. This 3D photo was posted by my cousin and it served as a reminder to me.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

ChristmasTraffic jams. Shortage of parking slots. Overcrowded malls. Long queues in check out stations and commuter lines.

These are just some indications that Christmas is around the corner. Yes, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go!

I keep telling myself that I will commence my holiday shopping October of every year. But you know what? I still keep finding myself on first week of December, still completing my Christmas list and planning several trips to the mall. This weekend, I am planning to go and start my shopping. Let’s see if I can finish on one go. I doubt very much if it will work but let’s see.

Are you done or even half-way through your Christmas shopping? If not, when do you plan to do it?

I think I will start with my immediate family. And then for friends. My godchildren already have their gifts from me so that’s not a problem anymore.

Argh! Holiday rush!

It’s coming out!

Two big telecom networks announced that those who want to buy iphone 4S can now make their reservations. I want one!

I’ve seen the new iPhone and I know that it is calling out my name. I told my sister that this coming 2012 will be the year that I will indulge on travel and gadgets for myself. Apple products will be on top of my list for the gadgets I want to buy.

I haven’t really indulged in a long time, buying anything my heart desires for myself. But this time around I will really indulge myself and come what may!

Wait for me!

Paris France

I am becoming obsessed with going to Paris, France!

I would like to give myself until I turn 40 to plan and make it happen.

Just wait for me Paris and I will find a way to get there. I will use that travel bug Paris design and will make sure that I already have someone with me by the time I have enough to see you in person.

Wait for me!

Today’s inspiring message…

Storm

There are those of us who is ‘paralyzed’ by problems we are facing. I am one of those persons. When faced with a big problem, I couldn’t get on with life until it gets resolved. But then I realized that if I keep on being that way, how can I make the most out of my life?

These days I’d like to think that I am stronger and more capable of seeing the benefits from every adversity I face. There is a benefit in a problem. Be it making you stronger and more resilient or a blessing in disguise you still haven’t been given a clue on.

Think about it.

Happy Monday everyone!

Top performer

Last month’s top performer in the call center company was given a reward card. Since my cousin already knows that another reward card will be given to this month’s top performer along with a cash incentive, he is really doing his best to be the top among the thousand agents in the company! It isn’t easy but with a motivation like that I do think it’s natural for every agent to try.

I used to work for a call center company so I know how a reward card and a cash incentive or any kind of incentive can motivate an agent. They will really double their efforts to get the incentive dangling over their heads. I remember preparing a check for 40k for the top agent of the year and when the guy got it, he couldn’t believe his luck!

I would exert more effort, too, if it would mean an incentive is in the offing. Why not aim for it, right?

He’s sexy and he knows it!

How hot can a guy be?!?

This one guy, an aspiring actor, who is quite popular these days paraded around in breeches. I was in the studio where he had a photo shoot and I swear I almost fainted when I saw him! He is sexy and hot and he definitely knows it and is using it to his benefit!

Well, if you have that kind of body, all lean and muscles and sleek yumminess, I don’t think there’s any reason NOT to parade around half-naked. You need to flaunt what you’ve got sometimes and what better way to do it than a photo shoot where you can earn just from being sexy! Lucky is the woman who gets to touch that body when no one is looking…

Paris and New York

Brooklyn Bridge New York

Eiffel Tower Paris

If there were two cities in this world that I have dreamed of when I was in my teens to early 20′s those cities were New York and Paris. Cities boasting of being the heart of their countries. The two cities are where tourists flock to when they go to the USA and France, respectively.

What did I find interesting with the two cities I dreamt of seeing it in person before I turn 40?

Well, I used to tell my friends that I was a New Yorker by heart. My spirit belonged to New York! I am the type of person who thrives on city life. And what better place that embodies city life than NYC, right?

In Paris, I could see myself in love and with someone when I go for a visit. It is the most romantic city for me. It was and still is!

How I wish I have the means to go to either city NOW!

A blot in life

Tisha’s life is almost perfect until she learned that her mom is suffering from cancer. Her otherwise very neat life now has a blot in it. She doesn’t know what to do and is in the brink of a breakdown.

Good thing her boyfriend is very supportive. He is analyzing things and is wondering why her mom got bladder cancer when she isn’t even smoking. She is diabetic and taking Actos and when he checked online, he was shocked to find that the medicine might be the cause of the cancer. Tisha is consulting with an actos cancer attorney already and if needed will file a lawsuit against those behind Actos.

California Maki cravings

california-maki

I am suddenly craving for California Maki. I saw a photo of it on a friend’s Facebook wall and I found my mouth watering and my tummy hungry for a taste of it. I love the one from Edsa Shangri-la’s Heat, Teriyaki Boy, and Tempura.

I wish someone will knock on the door with a pack of California Maki on hand.

He-he-he!

Three Rules of Life

These rules are by Steve Jobs

1. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

2. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

3. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition – they somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Happy Tuesday!

High quality product

I praise those people who give the best service they can give the companies they work for. Those best services will translate to high quality products that customers in turn can buy with the money they have worked hard for. I have worked in a trading company so I know which is high quality against not so good ones.

SN100C from Fine Line Stencil is sure to be made of highest quality and from the expertise of the people behind it. 15 years of being in the industry can make you an expert in my opinion.

Give the best service so as to create the best quality products.

Xiao Long Bao

xiao long bao

If there’s one thing that I will be looking for when I go to Hongkong next month, it will be an authentic Xiao Long Bao! Yum! Yum!

I remember the first time I saw this on TV. My sister and I love watching cooking and travel shows. Someone travelled to Shanghai, China and was made to taste this specialty in that region. He was immediately in love with the dumpling! He went to the kitchen to see how it’s done as he was fascinated with the way the soup was put inside the dumpling. I was, too!

I just know I had to taste this one. I’ve been hearing there are Chinese restaurants offering Xiao Long Bao here in Manila. But I doubt if it will be the same as the authentic one I saw on TV. Hmm…

Oh, yes! ;-)

There was an update made by the big G of the world wide web and this blog’s rank stayed the same. I am happy for that. Thankful that when most blogs I know lost a rank or two, this blog stayed the same and that for me is already a big blessing.

I write and write and there are times that I forget that for a blog to earn, it has at least to rank so it will be more visible in search engine pages. Good thing that I am reminded of that from time to time.

I will try to post more good stuff here. I will try, I am not promising anything hehe

The Lawyer

We are all calling an older cousin The Lawyer. He passed the last board exams and since then he became the source of so much pride of his family we started calling him The Lawyer or sometimes the professional. Ha-ha-ha! He was so happy he passed the board. His parents, my uncle and my aunt, are both so happy they gave him a samsonite briefcase that he can use for work. He already works as a paralegal in a prestigious law office and now that he is a board passer already, he will start working as an attorney in the firm.

We all can’t wait to see him in a court of law working for what he’s studied for.

Dangerous roads

Gladys is very thankful for the snow chains that she bought months ago when there wasn’t any snow yet. The roads are dangerous because of the snow but she still has to go to the office every day and go run errands for the family so the snow chains play an important role in her safety whenever she’s on the road.

She is just thankful that she has the presence of mind to buy during the summer when the snow chains are still being sold at a discount. Nowadays, it has become pricey because of the demand.

Something funny for today…

Proper use of You're

I remember back in high school one of my best friends and I found test papers of the other section. Those were test papers for English and there was an essay part. I immediately checked the test paper of my crush from that section and was totally disappointed when I saw his essay. He didn’t know how to use You’re!!!

I would like to believe that he now knows how to use it.

Ha-ha-ha!

Directory of physicians

One of the things that a doctor needs is a reference, a medical directory of other physicians like him specializing in different areas/fields. That’s what a doctor needs so that whenever there’s a medical emergency or breakthrough and he has to get in touch with someone specializing in another field, he can refer to the directory and easily contact the specialist he is seeking out.

That’s what a Doximity can do. It is the largest network of physicians in the US. If you are a doctor and you are looking for Jennifer Sun MD, you can easily find her in the directory. Go ahead and try it out now.

Meeting an emergency

We all meet an emergency at least once in our lives. When we are faced with an emergency, admit it, we need cash with us. Can you get a love one to the hospital without money for deposit? So what if you don’t have something stashed around for an emergency? You get a cash advance!

When there’s an emergency, you tend to get nervous, your mind is focused on it alone. Instead of worrying too much where to get the money you need… instead of running around town asking every person you know for a personal loan that will surely entail a lifetime of gratitude to carry with you… there’s another option open for you. Get a cash advance! It is impersonal, quick, and easy. You need not beg anybody for a loan if you apply for a fast and easy cash advance. Apply for one and wait within 24 hours for the loan proceeds to get to your hands. You need something as quick and easy as this because you don’t have the luxury of time in emergencies.

If you meet an emergency, remember not to panic. Presence of mind is needed in emergencies. Then go get Instant Cash Advances right away! You need cash in emergencies and better get an impersonal loan that is fast and easy.
