Curious as a Cat - Week#190

1) What genre of movies do you prefer?

I go for action and suspense thriller. It excites me to watch movies like this. I also watch romantic movies with unique stories.

2) If you could have overheard a specific conversation between any two people, what would it be?

I would have loved to have heard the discussion between Jesus' parents around the time she became pregnant.

3) What behavior do you think is the most common but rudest?

Having your mobile phone ringing in the middle of a very important corporate meeting is a bad habit. Phone should be silenced on meetings to avoid disruption of discussion. Answering it when there's a call is very rude but many have been doing it unconsciously.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

I see a very tight football game here and I guess it's a championship game which made them pushed their skills and energy to the limit. Their objective - to win no matter how hard it is.

Additional Decors for Your Homes

I’ve been doing some minor repair works in the house and spending some of my earnings to buy some new accessories that would lighten the atmosphere of our home. I’ve been slowly erasing the memory of the storm that hit our place so we really needed to add a warm and cheerful ambience to some of our rooms.

Since I’m very fond of lighting fixtures I’ve browsed around for some ideas that would help me. I’ve seen some ceiling fans that are very beautiful to look at especially with the beautiful lights that go with it. Filipino homes are always surrounded with electric fans and whatever the status of life is there’s always one that would give them comfortable air during summer days. Anyway for tropical country like us we always need it everyday of the year.

When searching for the right kind of electric fans we should consider various things to look for such as performance, quality, durability and capacity. Then for decorative purpose we should also consider the style as every furniture and fixtures in our homes should blend with the existing ones we already have. For all of this in our mind we should all be looking for Minka Aire Concept II fan because its functionality and style corresponds to our specific needs. I can say these ceiling fans are the better choice since it has convenient features of efficient air distribution and easy set up. You can easily add this to your decorative appliances with their choices of exciting finishes ranging from white, bronze, painted and many others. I simply love its features and style.

Shopping for My New Project

It’s only now that I had the time to browse my blogs and somehow write some posts and do my online tasks. I’ve been out most of the morning with my brother to buy all necessary things for my new bathroom project. Big Bro (Kuya) brought me to Federal Lumber where we choose from among its various designs and styles of floor tiles, complete bathroom packages with bowl, soap/tissue holders, lavatory, shower sets and many others. I really didn’t know that it has plenty of accessories and fittings.

I’m awed with their supplies that I canvassed floor tiles for our next house projects. We’re canvassing and looking for big floor tiles because it will surely accentuate our spacious house floors. Josh was with me and as young as he is he seemed more occupied than us. He looked at the small accessories and suggested some to my brother. He even put a nice item in the basket which we don’t need at present. Anyway I always love shopping for home accessories sometimes better than shopping for my things

Online Training for IT Enthusiasts

I’ve heard in one of the radio stations that I begin to follow these days about entering the job of IT staff. The guest speaker is current employed in HP and he shared how he studied his course and landed a good paying job in one of the makers of computers and peripherals. It’s actually a big company here in our country and since it’s a well-known IT company it has many requirements when you apply for a job. Of course a degree in computer courses is a sure advantage especially if the position you’re applying for is very much related to your college education. But the two other important key in entering a good position is your work experience and an IT certification as what the guest speaker has been saying. It actually opens a much wider door for anyone who has the certifications because the more prestigious and high paying jobs calls for a higher and advanced education in IT.

In my previous job I’ve been directly involved in hiring applicants and one of our qualifications is proficiency in Microsoft Office because if the employees doesn’t know the operations it would be hard for them to work in our telecommunications environment where almost everything are run through system. It’s really a big advantage to be skilled in software. But if you’re not as good as you want to be and you want to learn the craft you can still enroll online in k alliance training to learn Microsoft office and other software. You can also start training to prepare yourself for that IT certification which would promote your position to a higher position.

Time and place of training is not to worry about as you only need a PC and internet connection to qualify and start the training. Experience the comfort of studying in your home through K Alliance online computer training programs. It’s very convenient that even the busy employees who doesn’t have the time to attend classes on a regular school can enroll and train on K Alliance offsite location. With their quality training and high standards you’ll soon pass and get your most wanted IT certification.

I'm 24% Girly

You Are 24% Girly

You are a pretty hardcore tomboy, and a very free spirit.
Gender roles be dammed, you like to do things your way.

This quiz really caught my attention as I wanted to know if it will make out the real me :-) I'm not girly if it would mean being so vain in my looks, in my things and accessories and on being so feminine in every ways. Look at the result above and I can say it's the real score in real life. I grew up next to my big brother and being with him as playmate I have many guys as friends, I guess he influenced me a lot.

It's just lucky that the sibling next to me is a girl so I had that 24% score below :-) Funny but true! Well being a born-again christian now helped me a lot to develop some girly things about me. I did fall in love with my bestfriend, married him and now we have three kids.

Advanced and Affordable Phone System

>> Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Communication is very important in our lives and we uses different medium in order to communicate. If we want to send a fast message to our friends or talk to them wherever they are we use mobile phone for easy communication. If we want to send letters, images, videos or soft copy of documents we use email to assure fast processing and acceptance. Some are still using snail mail for greeting cards and postcards but majority relies on the internet for faster communication like instant messaging such YM, Chikka, Twitter and many others. Sometimes I wonder what the world will be like when there’s no communication. The world will be so silent and quiet because conversation is also considered as communication. It really plays a major role in our lives.

Now if we talk business we will be dealing with volume of calls because big and small businesses use business phone system to cope with their business requirement and with interacting with clients and providers. I worked for six years in a small telecommunications company which offers cheap international call rates and termination services to local and international clients. We’re also a VoIP provider and I know how it helps reduced the rate of termination calls. Anyway I’ve resigned from my former job to be work-at-home Mom so I shouldn’t be telling about what our company offers.

I just want to share what I know of VoIP and the advantages of using it. Well I read about Vocalocity hosted pbx which uses the same VoIP technology as with my previous company and I became interested in their services. It’s what every company dreamed of in a business phone system. It’s more affordable and no need to maintain any equipment. Getting the advantages of having a dependable, flexible and advanced phone service over the internet need not be expensive.

Hosted PBX works perfectly in today’s modern businesses. You don’t have to worry about anything as they maintain the equipment on an off-site hosting, host the software and responsible for any upgrade that you will need in the future. It’s all you need for your phone system, unlimited usage for one flat fee, no binding contracts, reliable VoIP consultant and a lot of savings for a complete advanced system that will cater to all your needs.

Tired But Inspired

>> Tuesday, October 27, 2009

It’s only hours before midnight and I just started doing my online tasks. I’ve been very busy with household matters and preparation of Josh’ costume the whole day that I earlier planned to do some writing and posting in the evening. It’s easier that way because I’m more relaxed and able to think clearly. After seeing that my kids have finished with their dinner and assignments I prepared myself for my due online work only to find myself tired and sleepy to even think and type a sentence. I rested for about an hour and when I feel that my brains will function normally I headed for my PC to start blogging. Just when some of my blogger friends are saying good night I just said hello and good evening.

Sometimes I really felt sleepy after a long day of going to my kids’ school, attending meetings, grocering and a lot more things. I often schedule my online work at night when everything is finished and completed. Having three schooling children is not a joke when it comes to household chores and parenting but the happiness you get from them is immeasurable that’s why I’m always inspired in writing and working. I’m just lucky that hubby can still massage my forehead even if he’s tired from his whole day’s work. His massage work wonders on my headache and tiredness that I can still work up to midnight or beyond that time.

Securing Your Homes

As early as now we’ve already planned our travel and 4-day fellowship in one of the villas in one of vacationing places in the South. It’s going to be a 2-3 hours travel so we planned to travel together with our church brethren in convoy. All in all we’re six groups in separate vehicles and I know it’s going to be fun while traveling. We’re really very excited with our fellowship but because we’re going to be away for four days my family planned some home security measures on the house. In times like these burglars and intruders are everywhere and we must take necessary precautionary measures to ensure safety of belongings and properties while away.

It’s good finding ADT Security System because they offer 24-hour monitoring service through their monitoring centers to help their clients secured their homes from intruders and bad elements even when the homeowners are not at home. How they do it? If you get their services their professional staff will install a wireless home alarm system complete with digital keypad, keychain remote, PIR Infrared motion detectors, wireless doors, window sensors with audible alarm, alarm siren, battery backup and ADT sign to let the people know that your home is monitored and protected by ADT home security. Intruders will surely change their mind if they earlier planned to enter your house because they know that they will be caught.

My Auntie recently signed up for installation of ADT Home Security Systems in the house and you know what’s the most beneficial thing about having it in the house? It’s what people always want in their lives, peace of mind. Now that home security is here we need not worry about leaving the house for several days or going out of the house without someone to look after the house as its monitored securely 24 hours a days 7 days a week. It’s a great feeling knowing that a group of people are helping you in securing and monitoring it. Home is where our heart is and we should always feel peaceful and secured in our own homes.

Looking for Additional Vehicle

We had a meeting yesterday at the church about our coming camp meeting fellowship which will be held in time for holiday season. The camp will run for four days so we need a lot of preparation because all things must be complete and ready for 4-day supply of clothes, food and other basic essentials. Our camping place is a 3-hectare villa with banana and other fruit plantations and a resort also on the other side of the villa. The place is far from the nearest town market so we should think of foods that will last for four days without being spoiled. The answer to this is cooking foods in a good preservative recipe and bringing canned foods and easy-to-cook packed meals.

Anyway we were trained for these things so it will not be much of a problem. Our problem is actually one bigger vehicle for us and our other brethren because as of now we only have 4 vehicles. I was thinking that a motor home would be perfect for us if only we have one. I will not buy of course as it’s too expensive I just saw some offers of rv financing for brand new and used RVs. Well it’s just a thought nothing more and I just love looking at motor homes, it thrills me to dream of having one.
