I received a surprise in my mailbox today

Jul 26, 2011

I received a surprise in my mailbox today, a colorful and definitely catchy envelope that I tore open rather quickly and from inside the envelope fell two pre approved credit card offers, supposedly for me and my wife. I last used a credit card two years ago and I have been living plastic-free ever since and paid cash for all my family’s purchases. To help finance for our romantic wedding at Hawaii, memorable honeymoon stay at the Caesars Palace in Vegas and appliances and furnishings for our house in Orange County, California, at that time , I had a Visa credit card from US Bank with a $75,000 credit limit.   I had to apply for that credit card by filling out an online form at the US Bank website and had to wait weeks before my credit card application was approved back then, so I wondered how I became to be pre-approved for a credit card. A pre-approved credit card offer means, the issuing bank has my personal information which they based my approval on, based on my Google research, like my previous credit standing with US bank, credit limit, preferred merchants, actual merchants that I used the credit card at. The literature that came with the credit card offer says that all I need to do is to fill out the form, send it back to the issuing credit card company – postage free – and wait for the final approval for my card. Luckily, I had a good credit card standing with US Bank and I read and keep all my credit reports so I know that I am likely to get approved. A lower interest rate is what this new credit card issuer offered, compared to my previous credit card and also offered several perk such as access to select concerts and major sports events.

Planning for a party in less than a month should not stress you out because party planning is easy as ABC. The first thing that you need to do is to decide the theme of the party and then book the venue where you want the party to be held at. After making the reservation for the venue, you need to have your invitations done and you can either make your own invites or have it layout then printed professionally.   You can use thick paper and epson ink when you are planning of making the invites yourself to create really wonderful and high quality invitations. When you plan of having the invites professionally done, the fastest and easiest way is to have it done by an online invitation supplier since all transaction is done virtually. Making the deal virtually is faster than having to meet in person since you do not need to decide on a common date and time, making online transaction more convenient. For your party favors, you can also buy it online since there are now many suppliers of party favors that sell online and it is easier for you to scan. Buying your party favors online means having to pay it through your PayPal account and then you just have to relax yourself and wait for the items to be delivered. If you need some party decorations, you can also buy some online since most party suppliers are already opening an online shop because many now prefer to buy stuff online. It is very convenient to buy online but before you pay for something you must check that you are buying from a reputable online shop and not a bogus one.

The Healer of the Shards

  I was still very small when I often go with Dad in his office and he works in a printing press and I really loved to go there because of their very big office and big machines and this has been a good place to spend time with my father. I have many small ink cartridges at home that I have been using to print my projects, magazines, and everything that I needed to submit in school and these are really far from the actual size of the printers I saw in the office of my dad. I think that the difference here is that the capacity of these huge printers is that it can print huge pictures, posters and streamers that usual printing press do with their very powerful printers. I have seen the big demand on the printing of ads and other servies that the present companies needed for their promotions and advertisements and I think that this is really a good business for me to start with. I have always been so dependent with my Dad ever since I started schooling but now that I have finished my studies, I am thinking that this is a good chance for me to show Dad what I have learned in business management. Having your own business to manage is I think difficult somehow especially that you have to take care of everything all by yourself but a good challenge for myself of course. All I really wanted is my dad to become proud of me and with what I have been doing with my life because I am not doing it for myself but for him of course and this printing job has been part of our lives since my Dad started working for this printing company. I am now preparing the things to be done for this business and perhaps consider the location for my office which should be somewhere accessible by the people and all the preparations make me really excited.

  My brother has many kinds of pets, he has hamster, dogs, birds, fish, and also exotic animals, like monkeys, snakes, but he preffered to breed the dogs only, for its easy to sell either locally or online, I thought he has his mini zoo already at here own house at his backyard or rather called a small farm of him, I used to visit since its very nice to look at with, and sometimes helping him to feed those different animals, its not that easy to raise many kinds or different kinds of animals like my brother did, the food consumption is the main important, second is the place, a big place for them, and also the cages, or rather their house, some of his pets are bought online and some of it are bought from his friends, his next project is to buy tigers, and breed them, I already told him that this is much expensive and need to have permits before your allowed to have it own, so I suggest better to buy expensive dogs rather tigers, theres many kinds of expensive dog pets like great dane, Labrador, Shitzu, Pit bull, yorkieshire, Afghan Hound, American Akita, Alaskan Malamute, American Cocker Spaniel, Australian Shepherd, Basset Hound, St. Hubert hound, and many more. I knew about this yorkshire for sale while in surfing online, and it charge only 15 thousand pesos, though the owner needs to set out it instantly before going abroad, this is only cheaper for me since the cost of this dog is around 25 to 30 thousand pesos, as I read its content, the dam and sire of yorkie are PCCI registered, this is much better to buy dogs that are comes up with papers, for its easy to predisposed buyers that your dogs are truly pure breeds, unhappily bad news for us, coz the yorkie puppies are already sold after I called up my brother to take the opportunity, for its sale in cheaper coz its owner will leave after a week, after contacting the owner of the torkie puppies, funny moments last day.

One of the best ways to inform your customers about your new product is through facebook ads wherein your product will be posted in the pages of facebook. If you use web advertisements to advertise your services or products, there will be a lot of people who will be interested in your business. So that your services and products will be known by many people, you should try this ad even though it is not that cheap.   Go to the facebook website and look for the instructions on how to apply for this ad and if you have enough budget, then you should try this. You can also avail this service in many advertising companies but you will have to pay more because the advertising company will take care from signing up to posting. I got numerous orders in my business after I posted an advertisement in facebook that is why I recommend this advertising spot for medium scale businesses. If you are looking for a credible ad posting service, you can try the google ad service and this service is also cheaper compared to posting advertisements in facebook. There are a lot of companies that do this kind of service, you just have to look for the best and most credible company for you to post your ads. Only few people read newspapers nowadays but it is still good to post your advertisements in this medium. There are a lot if advertising companies nowadays that are scam so make sure that you only deal with companies that have background.

What I adore about this is the legitimacy of the reports

Jul 23, 2011

At last I can sleep soundly, managing a business in the complex world of information technology requires a lot of data reporting with a lot of people in different fields. As much as we hate to admit it, the success of the business now depends on how proficient your components are doing and notwithstanding the effort and brilliance of the people working for me, still nothing beats the help of automation. I admit getting into these trivial matters of human psychology over the flawed process workflow almost always wastes valuable time and money, so the nice idea of integrating both human and technology eliminates these factors that cloud all organizational structures.   With the BPMS I am currently using I am able to create most suitable decisions through simulations based from real life data and not just some subjective report of a supervisor, like one instance before, where a personal grudge made him submit a biased recommendation of replacing a worker. Yes it beats making unscheduled visits to different divisions of my company, currently I can monitor and control everything in a graphical user interface. Then my supervisors also have it in their offices as they also just use the power of automation to forward their reports to me by just encoding in the data of data production and only the computer software does its thing to analyze, integrate and then send to me. What I adore about this is the legitimacy of the reports, and no chances of anyone and anybody in any levels of hierarchy with the motive of sabotaging or saving himself from not performing well. With a bunch of business process management software offered online and they can very well adjust to what and how we the clients want for our companies, no time wasted and no more useless person to person issues to consider.

The Son of the Wind

Many people do not know whether they should buy canned or 5 lbs whey protein, or whether it even matters and because of this, many people simply buy the cat food that is most affordable or convenient for them and this is actually a mistake. After a night’s slumber, your body is in a catabolic state and that means your body is burning your muscles for energy since your carbohydrate or glycogen store is low. If you want to construct muscles, you must eat protein and without the amino acids protein provides, your muscles would not grow no matter how you train them and these protein is your muscle’s building block and there are no nutrient substitutes to build muscles other than adequate protein consumption. Also check the muscle food you typically buy for an amino acid called taurine and this particular amino acid is very important in the overall health of your cat, and your cat will eat as much food as it has to in order to supplement this particular amino acid. So with this information, you will now know when to take protein to build muscles effectively.   It is supported that if you want to gain muscle mass, the rule is to take one gram of protein per pound of your body weight each day. That is a batch of protein which many people ca not get in their normal meals and protein supplementation may be required and without adequate protein consumption, all your efforts in the gym will go to waste. They will share their experience and results with you and may even give you the brand name of their choice protein powder.

Biking is a skill that once you learn

Jul 22, 2011

dirt bike games are something I only enjoy watching because even though I may seem like an adrenaline junkie, I am not into extreme sports like motocross or triathlons. Speaking of bikes, I learned how to ride one without training wheels when I was just five years old; I learned with my childhood friends as we took turns pushing each other and letting go. When I learned how to ride my sister’s bike, which was bigger than me, I had my fair share of cuts and scrapes, still I continued biking and loved to explore every corner of my old village where I had lived before. When I reminisce about those past experiences, it comes to mind that I was a bit of a tomboy then, which made sense because most of my playmates were boys and very few were girls, so as much as I loved playing with my Barbie dolls, I also relished the rambunctious games that boys played. I honestly do not remember when was the last time that I have ever ridden a bike because I do no longer own one, so I have not been able to bike at all recently; but I do know that I will still know how to bike because what it feels like to bike is something I will never forget.   Biking is a skill that once you learn, you will always remember unless you have experienced something traumatic that made you forget it, thus, you have to learn the basics all over again. My friend recently went to Singapore with her boyfriend and I was really envious when I saw them ride a tandem bicycle because I always wanted to try that; then again I think it might be difficult to balance with two people so both of you should know how to bike to make it easier.

The Planet of the Teacher

My father is a very famous dancer and because of that I have also been very inclined to dancing for almost 15 years already and he really encourages me to follow his footsteps and I can say that I learned to like dancing already. My father is able to support our family through dance instructing and it is really a good thing and aside from that, dancing is what makes our family go on with our lives. Whenever we dance together, it just makes me happy because it only happens very seldom and it just feels so good that we dance a lot and that is the reason why the house never loses jolliness. My dad and I are able to spend just a little of the time of my mother because she is very busy in the company that she is working at, and we are just so happy because despite her busy schedule, we still get to see her. Since my mother would already be celebrating her 40th birthday soon, my father was so excited to prepare a dance for my mother and that would be his present for my mother.   I really helped dad in anything that he needed because I know how much he really wants to give mother happiness and I really hope that he would be able to do the dance very well. In order to make a nice remix of songs, I downloaded beat making software so that I would not have a hard time in arranging the music, and also, it would make my work much easier. Father practiced for about 2 weeks and after that, I could already say that he was already very ready to present it to mom, and I hope that mom would like it because we prepared for it so that her birthday would be memorable.
