JobHunting

Things are not going well at work the past few months. Management has been revamping and most of my teammates have not been happy with our current supervisor. So with the new year comes their new plans of new jobs. In other words, they have been jobhunting. Since most of us are tenured at our company and have high positions, we are really prime targets of headhunters, so jobs can come easily. A.E Feldman Associates Inc has been around since 1967, and have been touted as one of the companies who have maintained a high standard of service and commitment in the recruiting field. Their fields include financial and risk management services, legal and legal support services, communications and technology, human resources consulting, and luxury products.

Insurance.

It is the time of the year again - the time of the year where people have been offering term life insurance options to everybody, including our family. Don’t get me wrong, Im all about insuring my kids’ safety when we go, but right now, that isnt on our list of priorities. I am always seen lacking when I turn offers down. I guess staying here isnt really part of our plans.

Start Up Financing.

If you own a business or plan to start one, you know very well how important to have money (or CASH) to keep a business running. Assets are really nice, but in a business, cash is more fluid, thereby, more important. Having a working capital is important. Start Up Financing can be achieved by applying for loans at the bank if you do not have enough. EZUnsecured.com can help you! Start Up Financing have helped budding entrepreneurs turn their dreams into reality because they have been helped by this great company. With great customer service, fast funding, easy processing and application, you cannot find any better deals or options. Start Up Financing

Sweet IM

I dont know how we will survive as a family without communication these days. My parents live two hours aways from us, my sister in the US and my brother and sister are always out. We usually send text messages to each other all the time but with the discovery and subsequent learning of my Dad on how to chat, we were able to save up a lot of money. It’s so sweet to teach my Dad how to send a smiley or put an avatar for his profile! There is actually more! SweetIM is an add-on for instant messengers you can use for webmails, forums, blogs and spaces. It is FREE to use and completely safe. They even guaranteed they do not have pop-ups!! That’s certainly a plus.

It looks like this when you have installed it on your toolbar.

Again, it is safe - no spyware or adware involved. It will let you use more FUN, COOL, HILARIOUS and totally UNIQUE content emoticons and use Winks, Sound FX, games, glitters and cool nudges.

My Dad wants to learn something new everyday. So yesterday, over chat, I walked him through how to use his own picture for his icon or avatar and walked him through how to use the audibles and smileys. Imagine my Dad who doesnt want to use text spelling to chat because he claims he didnt study half of his life to spell wrongly use devil grin smileys. It was a hoot!

Trading Stock Options

I want to learn how to trade stocks. I havent fully exercised my stock options in the company and before I resign, I would like to trade and sell all of it first. There is program called PowerOptions that is available online for free for 14 days while I try it out. It is the only internet-based data provider that gives investors SmartSearchXL®, a patented decision support technology that identifies the highest return option trades and offers you the convenience and control required to automatically sort, filter, and analyze all 2,900+ optionable stocks and 190,000+ options online to find investments to meet your profit goals.. This sounds like an extensive program worth the investment. I will let my officemates know and see if we can request from the administration.

Big Feet. Big Toes

bigtoes.jpg

My daughter’s feet are not ladylike, that is for sure. Her feet are wide and toes so big and chunky. She got this from me, unfortunately. Size 11 feet in the future?

Rustic Furniture.

There are people who love to have the old world country feel and charm to their home interiors. Rustic Furniture is perfect for that look. When I think about rustic furniture, I immediately think anything Tuscan. Tres Amigos is known world wide for having one-of-a-kind designs on rustic furniture, whether you need the whole line from chairs to tables or just want the perfect little touches, a door hinge, tile mirror, or more. They pride themselves as having no two designs ever be the same, so you are guaranteed to get a unique kind everytime you buy from them.

If you would like to get involved in reselling, you can apply for their wholesale program as well. Wholesale Furniture is available and of course lower than what is offered in retail. Plus, you get to ask for their assistance for mixing and matching up orders. Do you need to have a complete look for a room to display? They can assemble one for you.

Southwestern Furniture gives your house a worn and lived in appeal, making it cozy and inviting. When used as accents to your house or used unconventionally, it will make a very nice conversational piece among your guests.

Check Tres Amigo’s World Imports Collection. They have the lowest price available on all their items.

However the lack of flexibility can result in some losses in business. Apart from these minor losses, the year 2008 talks of only financial gains.

Unfortunately the Aquarius horoscope 2008 also talks of problems in marital relationships. These problems would be more pronounced in the month of July. After this there is a scope for betterment in love relationships, as the blocks or hurdles will get removed. A silent feeling of resentment may remain in the relationship, which should be guarded against.

Try to avoid any major controversies in the love relationships. Though Aquarius people who are single and not in a relationship may expect to meet someone interesting in the year 2008.

I have been telling my friends how I will certainly have my hands full once Martha grows up. Even now, she has been quite showing the strong stubborn pride already. As Edil said, our pride combined is higher than the highest mountain, LOL (Can you now tell why we had such a telesaga when we were just BF-GF?! LOL). Martha doesn’t cry when she knows she has done something wrong or if she knows Im making sermon LOL. She just looks at me with those eyes and quivers her lips. It is absolutely adorable, so kawawa, but mehn, so cute. Her dad is no proof when she does that, me, I try hard to resist. She doesnt even say ‘Sorry’. She just does that look and when you tell her, ‘OK na tyo ha, lab mo na si Mommy.’, she wouldnt budge - dapat ikaw ang mauna! OMG! But once you kiss her, she hugs you so tight with matching rubbing of head on your chest and snuggles for a good 5 minutes before going back to her kulit maldita self. LOL.
That girl. Edil told me this morning, “Tama na isang babae. We have royalty here already.”, when Martha woke him up at 5.30 in the morning to tell him that she wants to go downstairs. And have her Dad serve her - from watching Sesame Street with her, to rubbing her back (she loves that), being the one to get her dede, etc etc. (She would scream, stomp her foot and says, “No! Da-deee!” when her yaya would do it, hehehe). Buti na lang Daddy’s girl LOL.

Pay Per Play Advertising.

There is a new breed of innovative advertising on the web these days - audio ads advertising. With the recent Google updates regarding page ranks of blogs who do paid contextual advertising, advertisers have been looking for a way to advertise their products effectively without having to guess which blogs or sites are having true worthy rankings. Remember, blogs who have thousands of backlinks and unique visits a day can now have PR0 while new blogs sprouting get a PR3. Net Audio Ads is pay-per-play advertising - meaning you earn for every audio ad played at your site. Hence, your earning is directly linked to the number of visitors you have per day. There is no catch here - the web site owners earns 100% on their traffic, no clicks are necessart and audio ads are only five seconds. The visitor will only hear one audio ad for every three minutes they visit to your site if they have already heard the same audio on another page of your website.

They have an affiliate program that will let you earn residual income. But hurry, the affiliate program will close on February 1, 2008! I see a huge potential in this advertising method, I will make sure to sign up my blogs soon.

Gimme Your Funny Face!

4.jpg

Her face has changed.
She is now 20 months. WOW. And then she turns two.
WOW.

I think all mothers think their kids are the best or in the advanced stages, right? :) Well, I think my daughter is too :) LOL. Save for her speech which is still bulol, thanks to the chot-chot - I think she is perfectly great. Her pedia noticed she is quite tall for her age, and really is a smart lady. She cant help but tell me how pretty Martha is becoming already (She even asks if she can pinch her cheeks!).

Martha is a very sociable toddler. She loves to talk to babies and kiss them and generally try to play with them. Of course, you touch her toys and you’re a goner. She is full of spunk, generally charming and sweet but really hard-headed. She loves Sesame Street and Disney. No matter how much I push Barney, she wont take it. She just plays when Barney is on but dances when the final song plays — the “I love You, You love Me” part. She loves to sing. When she plays you will just hear her singing. Her appetite is strong, her motor skills good. She says ‘WIWI” everytime she does it, but doesnt have control yet. Since she is on meds for her Primary Complex, she is still OK with it.

She now says, “Po-po” for Opo and says the cutest Mo-mee to my ears :) For the longest time she wouldnt call me Mommy would you believe!! She says Daddee all the time. When I tell her, “Martha say Mommy”, she will give me her sly look and say, “Da-dee”. And she repeats it over and over again, nakakainis! She loves being tickled, saying ‘Pa!’ for ‘Isa pa!’ all the time. She says ‘Hi!’ to everyone who goes through our front door.

She loves praying too. I guess she learned it from my parents. Everyday upon waking up, once she sees the altar, she says ‘Hi Lolo!’ and then makes the sign of the cross. At the table when eating, she even makes the sign of the cross first - and she wants all of us to pray (meaning assume the prayer position - with hands together) or else you get a ‘O!’ with her pointing to her hand.

She loves taho, apple juice and tilapia/daing na bangus. She loves to play with her dolls. Rocking them to sleep - then throwing them on the floor when they are sleeping already LOL. She loves playing house and trying my shoes!!!!!! I once caught her applying lipstick using a pentel pen! LOL.

Im way behind educating her at home but I think Martha is holding up pretty good. Each child is unique and that’s what makes her special ;)
