:Thursday Challenge - Fresh (Water)

"FRESH" (Water, Fruit and Vegetables, Flowers, Clean, Air, New,...)

See Win Charles as he plays around this fresh water river on their last visit to his parents' hometown in Nabas, Aklan last April this year. Winwin as he fondly called by his family was undeniable enjoying his time here as there's nothing like this river in their place in Manila. I understand his excitement over things and places in the province compared to the bustling city where they live. Even old folks will enjoy this kind of clean and fresh water.

I Love Rewards!

Yesterday I brought along my son Josh when I went to my former office to be with my friend’s birthday there and to get some important documents for my car. That’s the first that I brought Josh and he was glad to see my officemates in 2 companies that I worked for. He actually met my senior boss and the latter smiled at seeing him for the first time. I never had a habit of bringing my kids to office because I’m always full of work when I’m still working. After sometime we headed to our weekly bible study in Kamias but stopped at shopping mall to buy him a gift watch and black shoes.

I checked on my cash and found that I have to withdraw some cash in my ATM card to pay for Josh’ items but I realized we’re going to be late so I just used my credit card to pay for his shoes. I’ll just pay it on my free time as I don’t want to accumulate debt on my credit card, I’m a disciplined card holder now.

That’s the convenience of having credit card you can have the mobility and ease of paying your purchases. I don’t actually using it frequently because I prefer debit card but I used it yesterday because I remember that rewards credit cards company has been giving out some freebies and privileges for those with accumulated reward points. I’m counting on my reward points and thinking about how I’m going to use it. I really love freebies, discounts and rewards!

Cars for the Big Boys

Women love shopping for bags, clothes and accessories and majority would agree on that. That’s the common instinct of women when they have extra finances, they shop! I’m sure boyfriends and husbands wouldn’t care to disagree as they are the common financier of those shopping! After all they also have their fascination over more expensive hobby and that’s their love for cars. I can still remember my brother’s fascination on motorcycles and cars that he collects miniature models just to satisfy himself. Now he’s older and has a family of his own those miniature models he love turned to real metal cars with real wheels to take him wherever he wanted to go.

Men will always love cars no matter what their status in life is. For the average class type they just content themselves with simple cars but for those who can afford expensive luxury cars they will never stop buying car body kits, add-ons and all car enhancements that would define style and performance. It’s also part of maintaining the car’s high performance condition and besides what’s the use of buying expensive cars without putting up to it’s brand. So if you want to look for some body kits for your car just visit ISG and you’ll be glad to find a wide range of body kits to fit your cars and your specific requirements. With their products you can dare to be different and unique.

Optimizing Email Campaigns

For the last six years of my employment my job in telecommunications company has exposed me a lot to the benefits of the online world. My work as an international carrier settlement officer has required me to be online all the time because almost all transactions are done on the net. These include emails, billing, collection, disputes and marketing. Our company deals with international providers and clients and I enjoy doing all of the mentioned jobs online which also taught me how to maximize my time on the net. I learned a lot from that job because it necessitates me to have continuous learning and searching or else I might not come up with my employer’s expectations.

Offering telecommunication services is not an easy business as you have a lot of competitors and the rates are changing almost twice a week. You need a lot of marketing strategies and finances to keep up with others. I know some of our partners in business use email marketing software to improve and help their business boost their promotions. Active campaign has an answer for this too as they offer web based software solutions such as 1-2-All which allows the company to send permission based mailing to lists of subscribers. I know our company may have benefit from this one because it has various features to optimize email campaigns which can be very useful in offering direct inward dialing.

All About Banking

Not only once these days that I was offered insurance for me and my family but it’s always my principles to plan and think before venturing on important things. I don’t want to enter into something that hubby and I didn’t prepared and agreed upon especially now that insurance companies are not all stable. Careful planning was taught to me by my Mom who was a retired teacher, she told me that planning is the safest way in entering things that are not familiar to you. I always think about all the words that she’s imparting on us as she was speaking from experience.

Since I’ve left the corporate world and entered the booming work at home jobs I opened a personal Savings Account for the small separation pay I got. I don’t want my hard-earned money to spill like water so I entrusted it all in my newly opened account. I learned it from the old folks and even though we’re into very modern times with high technology gadgets the old good habit of saving money in your bank is still the best idea.

Banking is still more reliable to save your money than any other medium so it’s best to know something about banking. Now if you want to have some knowledge about banking you can visit Banktime.com and be informed about the basics of savings account, CD rates, credit cards, insurance, home equity loans and other financing services.

Got Hooked on FB!

Hubby was just trying to communicate with her sister online when he found a new hobby online. He's always late in coming home because of the demand in his work and when he reached home all he can do is eat his dinner and watch cable movies to relax a bit before sleeping. He never had time to even check his mails or surf something on the net.

Last Sunday after fixing our car parking after a whole day activity in the church he asked for his email address and password which I'm the keeper lol! and started opening an account in Facebook. He became interested in FB when he saw a high school classmate there. Now he's been updating his facebook this morning and I'm helping him with uploading pictures because he needs to go to work. I told him he's luckier as I didn't have the time to upload photos and update my own facebook lol!
