Financial Freedom Awaits You

Jeff
If you are tired of accumulating debts and want to become free from any type of loans, it is not wrong to consider getting government debt consolidation loans as one of the options. The most important thing is that you take control of your finances instead of letting your finances take control of you.

Those who are having problems with debt, probably, have asked, “how does bankruptcy work?”, thinking that maybe they would need to come to the point when they would have to file for bankruptcy. Well, they can either do that or take control now and consider debt consolidation to finally get out of debt.

There are many web sites that are about debts and debt consolidation and they can help you by giving professional financial advice and guide you as you decide to take the right steps towards financial freedom. One site I can think of is FinancialFreedomAwaits.com.

You should start taking control of your finances. I suggest that you write out a plan and a goal that you will try to reach within a specific period of time. It is never too late and you can do it. But you have got to really want it – to be free from debts and loans.

Get Good at Blogging and Get Paid

Jeff
One of the many blessings and pay-offs of maintaining a blog is getting paid to blog. A mentor once told me that one way to stay happy in life is to find something that you love to do, do it and become so good at it that people will notice and eventually start paying you to do it. So, something that’s fun to do can now become a source of your income. Work won’t be boring, then.

This is what blogging has become to me and my wife. It is something we like to do. Although we haven’t come to a point where we or our blogs have made it good, but at least good enough to make money out of it.


Blog advertising network


One partner that we have in making this a reality is PayingPost.com. This is an online company that believes so much in bloggers and in blog advertising. This company of course expects their blogger partners to have blogs that have high link popularity, well indexed by search engines and are linked by authority sites such as DMOZ and the like. Of course, they also are seeking blogs that have a reasonable amount of traffic.

These are things that most blog advertising and paid to blog services look for in blogs. But what makes PayingPost.com stand out among its competitors is their opportunity creation fee. What about it? Well, PayingPost.com’s opportunity creation fee for advertisers is 50% less compared to other competing blog advertsing services.

Aside from being a great partner for advertisers who are looking to advertise on blogs, PayingPost.com is also a great partner for bloggers. The layout and the user-friendliness of their web site and the dashboard they have for bloggers are so cool that navigation is really so easy.

So, if you feel like your blog has become good enough to be monetized, visit PayingPost.com by clicking on the PayingPost widget on this blog’s sidebar, register and submit your blog for approval now.

Preparing for the "How Awesome Is Our God" Concert

Jeff
Only a few days to go to the fund-raising concert organized by our mother church's music team and preparations are being finalized. Tonight will be their team's last night of practice and I will be joining them to play drums for one song entitled "A King is Born". It is a Christmas song that has a tribal feel to it.

My church's music team will also be playing song for the front act entitled "Prepare the Way". Tomorrow night our singers will be practicing and on Saturday afternoon, the musicians and the available singers will be running through the song.

The title of the fund raising concert is "How Awesome Is Our God" and there will be a mixture of old and modern songs that will be featured plus some of the original composition of a very talented musician, Ted Amper, who happens to be my brother-in-law. He has lead the organization of this event and one of the goals is to raise funds for Sumulong Baptist Church's Legacy project - their land and building project.

The concert will be held at ICITE Bldg. in Eastwood City on Sunday, November 30 at 6:00 PM and ticket prices are P500, P200 and P100.

Staying Fit and Healthy

Jeff
Tonight I will be off to our football training at Marikina Sports Park. This is for our on going tournament which will run until February or March next year. The tournament was organized by the National Capital Region Football Association and is called the NCR FA's Terry Razon Copa Filipina tournament and our football club is joined the third division together with fourteen other teams.

I feel relaxed every after training because it is a way that I am able to work out and get into shape. I hope to maintain this lifestyle of being physically agile and fit as ling as I can and as long as my schedule permits me to. Doing this once a week is what I can handle at the moment but is sure has kept me from getting sick even as my wife and son have already gotten the flu about two weeks ago.

Can't Find Your Link?

Jeff
Hello, to all my blogger friends, if you dropped by and was surprised to not see your link where it used to be, don't worry I did not remove your link. I just moved them to my "link list" page. you can find the link on my right most sidebar under the other pages.

I made a few adjustments to my links because of the LinksShowOff. Rest assured I would still be visiting your blogs frequently and dropping by to say hi and leave some $mile$. I hope to keep on seeing you all around, too.

From Asus Eee PC 1000H to an HP Pavilion

Jeff
And I thought men were not fickle-minded. I just changed my mind suddenly about which laptop to buy. All along I thought I was already set at buying an Asus Eee PC 1000H but when I received an email from my father-in-law that there is an HP Pavilion on sale (14.1" Pavillion with Core 2 Duo technology, 3GB of ram and 160 GB of hard space for $ 499) for the Black Friday sale, I immediately bit into it.

The reason is because I was thinking that I won't be able to purchase that here. Even though the specs given were not very specific I just assumed that it's got high specifications because of some clues, like being a Core 2 Duo, and having a 3GB memory. Even if I don't know the processing speed I just assumed that it's high enough.

I did some quick search from a local store and saw that most HP Pavilions cost about P40,000 to P80,000. So having it cost brought down to $499 makes it just a bit below P25,000. I guess with that decision I weighed the laptop's specs heavier against lightweight features of the other netbooks I was looking at before. Anyway, I hope my decision ends up right.

Sell Link Spaces On Your Sidebar

Jeff
Hey, guys. I will be starting selling link spaces on my sidebar through linkshowoff.com. It is almost a permanent link and it costs only $3 but it is only permanent until 5 other people decide to pay for the link space. When you buy the $3 link space you get to the top of the list and then move down as another payment from another buyer is made. These links are "no-follow" links so they really do not share one's Page Rank. It just increases your link's visibility.

So, in light of that, I will be moving my blog roll to another page but I assure you that I will not remove any one of my friends from the list, unless of course I don't see my link in their site when I visit their blog.

But I would like to say also that you can sell link spaces (and set the price you want) in your blog, too. Just click the link on the right side bar which looks like this and register.


Registration was so fast it took me less than a minute to be a member and log-in. After you've registered you can start adding your blog/s into their system and place the code in your preferred location and start earning when somebody advertises in your link space. You can also invite others to join and you can earn $3 for every publisher that joins through you. So why don't you click on that link in my sidebar and join now!

My First Sony Experience Is With My CD Walkman

Jeff
My first Sony experience is with my Sony CD Walkman. I got it not as the first owner. It was a pre-owned CD walkman that I bought from a friend of my father-in-law.


This was something very special to me because I love listening to music, not just to entertain myself but because I studied and really appreciated good live music, and that is for being a drummer.


During the time that handy MP3 players and MP3 playing cellphones weren’t around yet, this was the best music experience available. I particularly enjoyed this Sony CD Walkman because it had this unique control system that allowed me to control the volume and select songs without having to touch the player itself.

At the end of the control system is a female 3.5mm female input which also allowed me to enjoy my music experience in my car. I remember liking the stereo system which was able to play cassette tapes that allowed me to use a cassette to CD player adaptor in my car. I also took this baby to my regular jogs around Global City, and thanks to its ESP Max feature, I didn’t have to worry about the CD skipping while I ran around.

And my music experiences with my Sony CD Walkman let me enjoy regular things anywhere. I took it when I went out jogging, driving and being some place else, listening to it while I waited or when I took public transportation sometimes. It definitely gave significance in my life just like the Sony’s World’s First Noise Canceling Portable Music Player, which will help me continue to enjoy music anywhere, anytime.

About Golf and Other Related Stuff

Jeff
One of the sports I am curious about and haven’t got a chance to learn is Golf. Usually, the sport that interest me is one that is physical. I have played basketball, soccer, volleyball and have tried a bit of martial arts like aikido, judo and Kyokushin karate. But I do not limit myself to playing physical sports. I also enjoy playing chess, badminton (less physical but strenuous as well) and billiards. But I have started becoming curious about Golf.

I came across a web site about golf and it is all in German but what was interesting about this German golf site is that it claims to be the biggest German golf shop and that they offer a full range of brand names on golf equipment and accessories or anything related to golf. Stuff like golf bags, golf trollies, gloves, golf clubs, balls, training equipment, videos and the like can be purchased from their web site.

Aside from these, this online golf shop, whose domain is golfakademie-gmbh.de, also has other golf related information in their site. They offer news about golf, scores of oun going golf tournaments and information about famous golf players. In fact they have a link to pages of golf player’s profiles. That is good because those who know German can have the opportunity to read about these information and learn more about other golf players. This site also has a club fitting center and they specialize in Ping custom fitting.

So if you know German, I’m sure you would benefit from this golf web site. And if you are interested in purchasing some golf related stuff online you can also check out this web site. You can visit their web site through this domain, golfakademie-gmbh.de and I encourage you to take time to explore the other pages of their web site.





Marikina United FC 4-2 Against UST High School

Jeff
Our football club, Marikina United FC, won its first game for the Third Terry Razon Copa Filipina Tournament (Third Division) last Saturday at 1:00PM and it was held at Xavier School and they went up against UST High School. Our club won 4 goals to 2. Too bad I wasn't able to join them for that game and I won't be able to join them for the next match on Nov. 30, 8:00AM at the same venue against Xavier FC. I look forward to the other matches and as I looked at the schedule, I will be able to play on out third match which will be against De La Salle Zobel.

Below are pictures from last year's tournament.

It's me and the rest of our Marikina United FC under coach and club manager Jun Caceres.

Tired of Watching What You Eat?

Jeff
Have you ever heard of the place Hotrocks? It is a grillery near Eastwood City, Libis along C-5 and they serve good steaks. But eating the there last night made me aware of how I should start being careful about eating too much meat and fatty food. Especially as I have begun learning about detoxification through a web site I set up called Total Detox and through a health supplement site, http://chitogenics.net. This site is all about ChitoGenics Weight Loss with Hoodia or Green Tea, Appetite Suppressant Patch, Detox and Cleanse Nutritional Digestive System Supplement - New Life Products.

It is important to eat healthy and sometimes eating healthy feels like I need to cut down on some real delicious food. But with assistance in detoxification and with the help of health supplements from ChitoGenics, stirring clear from food you like doesn’t have to happen.

ChitoGenics has products like the ChitoGenics Hoodia Formula which is a weight-loss management aid. Their site claims that it isn’t a magic potion or a quick solution that will make you lose weight in the blink of an eye. ChitoGenics Hoodia Formula is a revolutionary weight loss pill that an help users lose weight effectively by preventing fat absorption, suppressing one’s appetite and gently boosting metabolism to help burn calories faster.

The other product I like that they have is their green tea formula. This one claims to increase one’s energy level and regulate a person’s stress hormone level. The Chitogenics Green Tea Formula is said to work by again preventing the body from absorbing up to 30 grams of fat, promotes the fat burning process by safely increasing a person’s metabolism and regulates the Cortisol level giving maximum weight-loss.

This web site has other products aside from these and you can check them out and learn more about the other products at http://chitogenics.net. Visit this website now.




We Were at the 2nd Philippine Homeschooling Conference

Jeff
Yesterday, my wife and I attended the 2nd Philippine Homeschool Conference Helod at Christ's Commission Fellowship. The speakers were Pastor Peter Tan-chi, his wife Deonna, Edric Mendoza, Pastor Bernard Marquez, Ms. Felichi Pangilinan-Buizon and Mr. EJ McKnight.

The speakers discussed foundations and principles behind home schooling and the role of parents like us in educating our children, it also focused on modeling, affirming children and mind mapping.

We found this conference very timely as we are planning to start homeschooling our three-year old next year. And through this conference, we have actually considered not just homeschooling him for a year, which was our initial plan, but for a longer period even.

We are still in the process of scouting for programs to use but right now we are bent towards using School of Tomorrow (formerly known as Accelerated Christian Education) materials. We hope that we would be able to impart to our child a strong love for God and His word and help build his character up as we homeschool him.

Free Game for Review by Parents

Jeff
The holiday season is fast approaching and people all over are starting to get busy with decorating their homes, setting up Christmas lights and putting up a tree. What comes naturally after putting up a Christmas tree is seeing the empty space beneath the tree. Parents begin to think of gifts to give to their children, making them excited as they place the wrapped gifts underneath the decorated and lit Christmas tree.

Well, here is a treat for parents like me. If you are familiar with the movie, The Princess Bride, you know what? There is a PC/MAC game that was made after this movie. It is the 5 pack of Princess Bride Game which is the perfect gift for the season.

Key_art


No, that isn’t the good news yet. The good news is that parents can get a FREE COPY of this Princess Bride game. PrincessBrideGame.com is looking for parents who can review the game and who else could better get it than you. They are looking for gamers and gamer parents. This will also help you test the game and see for yourself if your children would like it as their gift for this season. So what are you waiting for? Visit them now and register!

Thanks for the Movie Premiere, Nuffnang!

Jeff
The Movie Premiere of Burn After Reading held last Tuesday, November 18 sponsored by Nuffnang in cooperation with Viva Entertainment Inc and Robinsons Movie World was great! Not the movie, but the event! I know that it has been a few days since this event that I am about to blog about has passed, but I just couldn't keep myself form blogging about it.

This isn't a movie review so I won't write much about Burn After Reading. I want to congratulate Nuffnang Philippines for the effort they exerted to grow the relationship among bloggers. My wife and I recognized some of the bloggers whose sites we bump into online (because of their avatars). I personally met a friend blogger, Sonnie, the man behind Sonnie's Porch, and his wife. I also met Geraldine Malagueno, Nuffnang Philippines' GM, and after the event met a new blogging friend, Camille.

I had my picture taken with Sonnie (center) and Ms. Jing.

It was also a bonus to have received an unexpected recognition and an Italianni's gift certificate for being the first blogger among the 70 who were awarded the movie premiere tickets.

(Charles, Ms. Jing, me and Camile)

It was, over all, a successful event because it sort of broke the ice among the Nuffnang blogging community. Congratulations and thank you again, Nuffnangers!

Here is the official link to the event, Nuffnang's First Movie Premiere.

Going to the Big Apple?

Jeff
Have you ever thought about going to the Big Apple? Well, I have. In fact, I have always thought about being able to walk around the streets of New York, in the safe areas at least, or visiting the city with family or a group of friends. It is always nice to tour around with a bigger company. The more, the merrier!

In New York City, there are many ways to get around. There is, of course the cab. But when traveling with a group, one of the best ways to travel is through New York Bus Charter. This is a company that uses the domain nycbuscharters.com and provides charter transportation services for touring groups. It doesn’t matter if the size of the group is not so big, like 9 people, or as many as 57 passengers. This service provides buses to any destination. In addition to that, their vehicles are environment friendly.

Aside form these, they also provide excellent service, claiming to provide safe, on-time and courteous staff, customer assistants and drivers. They pride themselves of great luxury coaches which are climate controlled and complete with amenities to make everyone comfortable. So when planning a trip to New York, visit this web site first to secure your transportation needs.

High Hopes?

Jeff
I don’t’ want to get my hopes up again but I think I might have a chance to get an Asus N10J. My in-laws e-mailed us about the early Black Friday sale and I am hoping that the Asus N10J will be on sale. I like this netbook far better than Lenovo S10, MSI Wind and Asus Eee PC 1000H because it has a dedicated 256MB graphics memory, which is like having a video card for a desktop, compared to having just a dedicated or integrated graphics memory which the other laptops have. I just hope that it will be put on sale and with a great discount. If not, then I would have to settle for the Asus Eee PC 1000H

Our Three Generations

Jeff
I am looking forward to this holiday season. And for many Christmas holidays I have always hoped to celebrate them with my dad around. Being based in Davao and having a weird schedule in the company he is in has really kept him from being around this past three years. And after what happened last year when he had signs of a stroke and almost had one, I have really hoped for him to retire and settle down. But, I guess he doesn't want to and I just hope that for this holiday season he would be around. That would be cool to have three generations together, my dad, me and my son.

I Won Movie Premiere Tickets From Nuffnang!

Jeff

That's right! I got selected as one of the 70 (50 at first but they added in 20 more) who blogged about the Burn After Reading Movie Premiere organized by Nuffnang in cooperation with Viva Entertainment Inc and Robinsons Movie World. The premiere is tomorrow evening, 7:30 PM.

I was so glad to receive an e-mail from Nuffnang that I was one of the winners of two tickets to the premiere. So I guess my wife and I will be going out on a movie date tomorrow and we're also excited to meet some of the other bloggers who are Nuffnagers, too.

If you happen to be one of the bloggers please feel free to leave a message in my chat box or comment on this post so we can meet up tomorrow night. It really is cool to be a part of Nuffnang!

Below is the e-mail I received form Nuffnang:

"Congratulations on winning two tickets to Burn After Reading, the First Movie Premiere by Nuffnang Philippines.

Let's watch Brad Pitt and George Clooney together with other Nuffnangers this Tuesday, November 18, 7:30 pm at Robinsons Movieworld, Cinema 6, Robinsons Galleria.

Pumpkin Tag

Jeff
Thanks, Angelnoah for this tag!

Proverbs 22:5-6 In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. All children must learn that there is only one King of all Kings and Lord of Lords and that is: Jesus Christ!

Second MissionsTrip to Palawan

Jeff
This January, our organization, Breaking Point Foundation, will be returning to Puerto Princesa, Palawan for another missions trip. Compared to our trip last August, we hope that on this trip we would be able to present our program to more students. We are currently coordinating with our partners in Palawan and talking about stuff we will be needing like accommodation and transportation similar to airport shuttle rides.

There is a web site that specializes in providing affordable, on time and safe shuttle services. GoAirLinkShuttle.com provide transfers between JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Airport. Those needing JFK or Newark Airport Shuttle can have the assurance of daily operations that feature twenty-four hours, seven days a week online reservations, on time and reliable service, customer service assistance in every terminal, a large fleet of transport vehicles that can accommodate four to fifty-six passengers but have separate luggage compartments and have upholstered seats and good air conditioning or heating (whichever is appropriate). They have links in their site to special offers, airport shuttle ride fare quotes and tours and attractions.

How nice it would be to have this kind of service on January. But of course, it will all depend on the funds we will be able to raise for the missions trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

I Like Mondays

Jeff
Yes, contrary to many hate statements or feelings against this first work day of the week, I, on the other hand, love Mondays. Well, it's not just because I like going against the mainstream (what they used to call the punk's attitude in the 80's), but I do sometimes on certain things, but simply because I have my day off on Mondays. Yes, I get a chance to relax my mind and not think of work, or at least I try not to. It is also a time that I am able to spend it at home (the whole day) with my family. So, to everyone out there, have a happy Monday!

Aside form the domain, the other difference of these two blogs is the latter is a Wordpress blog.

An Interesting Sport to Learn

Jeff
When it comes to sports I am not one who would not dare learn something new. I have played a variety of sports and have played skillfully and above average after a few tries at them. I have played basketball, volleyball, soccer, badminton, judo, aikido, billiards, swimming, table tennis and a little bit of tennis. One sport that I am curious about is golf. I find that sport very interesting and challenging.

There is a German web site that is also an online golf shop. This online golf store offers a variety of products related to golf and carries a full range of items of all golf brands. Aside form golf products, this web site also provides golf news, scores, updates and information about golf players. They also have a club fitting center and their specialization is Ping custom fitting.

Among the sports web sites that I have visited in the internet, this web site is one of the easiest to use. Golfakademie-gmbh.de provides easy access to their other web pages. That is something that make a web site user-friendly, aside from their great product offerings.

Perhaps when the time and the opportunity comes for me to learn and play this sport this web site would come in handy. For now, maybe all I could do is read about golf and watch how good the pros are at playing it.





Trying Something New Tonight

Jeff
Tonight I will try out something new. I purchased a hosting account which includes add-on domains feature. This will enable me to set up websites for most of the domains that I have invested in these past few months. These are sites under the category of travel, shopping and business. I have already began setting up sites for some domains related to health and finances but this will be the first time I will be using a hosting account that has add-on domains enabled. I usually am real focused when trying to learn and setting up such things and that is quite difficult at the moment with my wife being sick and all. But I am excited about this new thing that I will be venturing in. I hope I would succeed in setting the sites up and bringing traffic to them. This is actually an attempt to expand our online business.

Getting Over A Scratch On My Car

Jeff
A few weeks after seeing the first long scratch on the edge of our car's right front fender I have finally gotten over it. But, I had to contact my Tito Adolfo, the one who needs to be credited for the nice paint job on it, and he replied through text message that he will schedule a time to visit the car and check what needs to be repaired so he can estimate how long and how much it would take to work on it in his spray booth in Malabon. I hope that it won't cost much and I am not that in a hurry to have it worked on. I'm sure when it get fixed it'll get my hopes high again but will be quickly be disappointed by another new scratch or dent.

Spying Over Burn After Reading

Jeff
It has been a long time since I have seen a movie in a movie theater with my wife. And I am hoping to get a chance on November 18 to see The Burn After Reading Movie Premiere organized by Nuffnang in cooperation with Viva Entertainment Inc and Robinsons Movie World. It will be a great time to have a date and also a chance to meet and be with other co-Nuffnangers. But of course, that would depend on who the first 50 bloggers to be chosen for this free, by invitation only event. But, I am taking my chance.

Our First Haircut Together

Jeff
My son and I about to get our haircut together

Yesterday my wife, my son and I went out and Jed, my three-year-old boy, and I had our first visit to the barber shop together. My wife and I usually are the ones who trim his hair but we decided to try and get his hair cut by a barber and we did it together so he wouldn't get scared. He did get scared at first, especially when the barber used the electric shaver on him, but seeing the other barber do the same to me kept him from getting more scared. And after about a minute of not really feeling any pain he started warming up to the barber.

Please Help by Linking To My Sites

Jeff
I am running out of ideas to win the SEO contest whose keywords are “promotional items corporate gifts srednarb”. I sent in two entries and their urls are salebooksandmusic.com, christianbooksandmusiclibrary.com and salebooksandmusic.com/srednarb-promotional-items-and-corporate-gifts.htm. The deadline is on December 22, 2008 and I am really badly needing help on back links.

Please link to any of these sites until the 23rd of December and let me know if you did and I will link you up in this blog of mine. I would really appreciate your help.

I Got A BLessing From the PayU2Blog Sheriff

Jeff

Yesterday, I received another blessing from PayU2Blog. I received additional opportunities aside from the regular job opportunities PayU2Blog sends. When I clicked on one of the job opportunities this is one of the things I saw.


And, guess what? I received ten of these! Great, huh!? And I thank God for all these! Now, I just would need to finish working on them until the 14th of this month so I can get paid for 'em!

For those who are not aware, I am on my third blog with PayU2Blog and I am working on the fourth blog for their approval. I will be sending the application for my fourth blog to PayU2BLog in the next few days. I hope it gets approved.

Asus Eee PC 1000H, Lenovo S10, MSI Wind Reviews

Jeff
My family and I went to SM Marikina to get a few groceries and buy some photo paper so we went to the mall's Cyberzone. As we went there, I couldn't keep myself from looking for an Asus N10J. But instead of finding the Asus N10J what I found was the Asus EeePC 1000H.

Let me say first that all netbooks I'll be mentioning in this post are the ones that carry the Intel Atom N270 processor. Now, with that aside, let as start by comparing Asus EeePC 1000H with the MSI Wind and the Lenovo S10. Below are the specifications of what I have found and their prices.


The source is from a local computer store in the Philippines, but there are links below to reviews from one web site using a single method to compare Asus Eee PC 1000H, MSI Wind and Lenovo S10.

The source of these specifications and prices are from the same store. One additional thing to note - the store that provided this information offers and upgrade option: ...all Intel Atom powered netbooks purchased between October 1, 2008 and December 30, 2008 is eligible for a chassis upgrade (charge is based on difference in prices between the new chassis and the original chassis) to handle New Intel® Atom™ 330 platform, the dual core Atom processor. I am still about to explore what this means and I will be doing so before I make a purchase this December.

Below are links to reviews using the same standards courtesy of notebookreview.com:

Asus Eee PC 1000H review
Lenovo S10 review
MSI Wind review

Based on the reviews, I read that Asus Ee PC 1000H had the best performance. I guess that's why it is the most expensive among the three netbooks. So far, after looking out for the best netbook that carries the Intel Atom, so far, my mind has changed and I plan to buy the Asus Eee PC 1000H (a cheaper 1000HA model will be coming out soon which is the same netbook without the bluetooth and the n wireless capability).

But if I had more dough I would choose the Asus N10J for its longer battery life and dedicated 256MB video memory option.


You Reap What You Sow

Jeff
I still can't get over the scratch that I got on my Nissan California. I mean how can anyone be so uncaring when walking beside cars. I can't help but start to think that may be it was done intentionally. Well, I hope not, because if it happened where I usually parked on Sundays, then getting a car cover won't be enough once I get the scratch repainted. But, I really hope that the person who did that, whoever he or she is, would reap the consequences for the actions sown.

Senator John McCain Concedes

B. Obama is the new U.S. President, winning by a large margin against John McCain who delivered his concession speech before a big crowd in Phoenix, Arizona. This is another turning point not just for the history of the United States but the whole world's as well.

A Great Deal From Zenni

Jeff
Zenni Optical was on FOX news! Yes, you can see or read about Zenni on Fox. You might be asking, what this Zenni is, well, this is a web site that offers Great Eyeglasses For Less. The frames from Zenni are low cost but has great quality. We usually associate low cost to low quality, but that is not the case with Zenni because they are the manufacturer of their product and they sell them directly to customers that’s why the eyeglasses and frames are inexpensive. A sample of the Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni can be ssen below and there are lots more at their site.


A Long Scratch On My Car :(

Jeff
Oh, I feel so bad tonight. As I was about to leave the office my brother-in-law praised how nice the paint job on our car was and surprisingly the property custodian was on his way out and mentioned that there was a scratch, and he thought I knew it.

So I asked him to point the scratch out and it was on the top of the right front fender, a long scratch on its edge, about 2 feet almost. I couldn't think how and where our Nissan California got that? The last time I saw that part of our car was Sunday morning when I washed it and wiped it. Since that particular moment I never really noticed anything. Until our custodian told me before i went home.

But I suspect that it got it while I was parked along Kalayaan Ave., near the marketplace where our church is located. And that added more reasons for our church to find a place to move to (well, at least for me, personally).

Oh, well, I guess that's just a reminder for me of how fleeting things that we come to enjoy can be. I just hope that I could get a chance and the money to take our car back to Tito Adolfo, the man responsible for its present beauty. Soon, I hope.

Lenovo S10, MSI Wind or Asus N10J?

Jeff
As I continue to become confused with choosing from the three mini-notebooks I have began to like (Lenovo S10, MSI Wind and Asus N10J) I am now leaning more towards Asus N10J because of its battery life and 256MB dedicated video memory. The only setback is it will cost me ten to fifteen thousand pesos more than the Lenovo S10 and the MSI Wind. And at that price I probably could get a notebook with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor but with a bigger and heavier chassis, which is not what I am looking for that’s why I have been considering the mini-notebooks that carry the Intel Atom N270 (which I heard will have the Intel Atom 330 upgrade soon).

Anyway, I may have to apply for Payday Loans to purchase the Asus N10J and a web site I bumped into that has this is PersonalCashAdvance.com. This site provides unsecured cash advance that are short-term, until the payday comes. Many customers choose this to help them with unexpected expenses. This site also provides easy and quick sign up depending on the lender that will accept the customer’s loan information.

I am not bent to apply for one but I am sure feeling tempted because I really have been looking to ending the year with a mini-notebook.
