Through Thick And Thin

Author: admin

I have been planning to get one of my closest friends who lives abroad a special gift for quite a while now. The fact that she’s one of the very few people who knows everything about me yet still doesn’t turn the other way around makes her very dear to me. Call me cheesy, but it’s something I appreciate a lot.

She’s always been there for me, through thick and thin, even though she’s far away. She never fails to make me smile with all the little things she does.

I thought about getting her RedEnvelope gifts, and flying to Canada myself. They just have quite a wide variety of options to choose from, and that’s what I like most when shopping online. I’m sure she’ll appreciate this when she receives it.

If you have any RedEnvelope gifts to recommend, kindly let me know by commenting on this post, any form of reply would be greatly appreciated!



Lost and found netbook!

Have you ever been in a situation where in your integrity is tested? Earlier, while on the bus, on my way to work, I found a paper bag containing some used magazines and a small laptop. There were no clues on who the owner is. At first I thought of just handing it to the bus driver but chose not to because they are very notorious for not giving back lost and found stuff. So what I did was just bring the laptop to work.

It was a very new laptop a netbook actually, as I have discovered from netbook reviews from the net. It was just out last month. The owner must have forgotten it and probably wants it back. Honestly I was tempted to just keep it for it was actually one of my dream laptop. However I thought of what it would be like in case I am the one who lost it. And so, on my way home, I just surrendered it to the police department. They’ll be the one to handle it.

“Running is the new Badminton” - this is the slogan of an organization in my company. This organization is formed by a group of employees who do running as a sport. You’ll usually see this guys running around the park after work. Earlier, I had a chance to attend one of their pre-running meetings and I could say that I am really interested in joining.

There were some good facts I learned from the discussion. One is running burns faster that any other exercise you can think of. Running makes use of all your muscles, not only the legs. Maintaining balance while running makes use of neck, back, shoulder, ab, or basically every muscle group in the body. Best thing about it is, even if you stop for a day, the fat keeps on burning.

Another thing I’ve learned is that men’s running shorts , shirts and shoes are not that cheap. At first I thought this sport is basically free because you do not have to buy anything. However, I found out that if anyone plans to do running as a sport, they must be equipped with running attire - especially running shoes.

Anyhow, on Saturday I will attend a fund raising run. It is my first time so I’ll do a three kilometer run first.  If all goes well, I’ll do this running sport more often.



Antique fans

We went to my aunt’s place yesterday because she just moved to it, and we thought a house warming would be appropriate, and I can only say one thing: I fell in love with Hunter fans since I went to her place.

I just find it amazing how the company combined 19th-century craftsmanship with 21st-century design and innovation to create such a wonderful object.

The look and feel that it gives a home is also wonderful. Whenever I stare at the ceiling fan, it’s like I’m in the 19th century all over again. It just has this antique and vintage feel to it, and tell me, whoever in their right mind would hate vintage things?!

The fact that it’s a great source of light AND ventilation is amazing, it’s like hitting two birds with one stone!

If you are a furniture enthusiast like I am, this product is definitely something you wouldn’t regret buying or even just checking out.



Places I Love

Traveling is one of the many things that I love in this life. Being able to explore many places and meet new people, especially the fact that I can embrace a culture other than mine’s. It is such a thrilling experience, and quite a privilege not everyone gets to have.

One of the places I’d like to visit most would be London. Aside from the fact that I have many friends there, I love the way they dress up, mostly. I have seen so many photos of Europeans and I can say they’re nothing short of lovely.

Another one would be New York City, the city that never sleeps. Who wouldn’t want to visit that, anyway?

My aunt recommended me to look for Orlando vacations for she’s been there and she fell in love with the place. I still couldn’t find one that I particularly like, however. If you have any to recommend feel free to comment here, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!



My Best Friend

“Before leaving for a trip, it’s always safe to have health plans!”

My best friend used to tell me this all the time for some reason. Don’t ask why, I could only guess. She keeps mentioning Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina to me and I really find it funny, she seems like she’s an announcer for that company’s TV ad sometimes.

I guess she’s always concerned about health for the fact that she was quite a sickly kid. Her dad used to be too protective that he wouldn’t even let her out of the house if it wasn’t school that she went to, or if she didn’t have a chaperon.

Because of this, she resorted to channeling her affection to dogs. She has the cutest dogs, ever, I swear! I just want to hug them and never give them back sometimes.

I don’t get to see her much now, I’ve been busy with work and my own personal issues. I’ll kidnap her one of these days and go to Boracay with her. I’m sure she misses me too!



Men are vain, too!

With the various men’s products that are out in the market these days, men are having trouble determining what’s hot and what’s not.

Most people just trust what a company has to say and buy the product just because the advertisement says many good things about it.

If you hear about a product, for example, extenze, the practical thing to do would be to google information regarding the products and to check out what other people have to say about it. Learning from the experiences of other people is key.

Why go through the same awkward situation that a mistake that someone else has already made caused?

Women nowadays are quite conscious about their face more than anything else. Some even disregard personal hygiene as long as they think that their face looks perfect.

Wrinkles are one of the many concerns of women regarding their face, and wrinkle eye creams are usually applied to prevent or lessen the amount of wrinkles. Some other products involve moisturizing and concealing pimples or freckles.

What is there to beauty anyway? My parents raised me while attempting to engrave into my brain that beauty is only skin deep and what matters the most is what’s inside. What I want to tell them now is that you can’t change the fact that people get attracted to one another at first because of physical features.



Marketing

In starting a company, marketing is one of the things you should consider most.

Without this department, how would people be able to know that your company even exists?

It’s these people who are the milestones to your company’s success. They sure have a way with words, and a lot of connections. If you don’t know what marketing program is best for you, it would be a smart decision to look for successful companies in the same area and check if they have affiliate marketing programs.

Not only will this help you know what marketing program is good, but it’ll also help you improve your researching skills! It’s like hitting two birds with one stone.

Remember to take good care of your marketing department, they can make or break your company.



Beware and drive safe!

We’re all aware of the fact that driving can lead to many hazardous situations. The good part about this is that it helps make life easier by allowing you to transport into various places around you without even bothering with the amount of stress public transportation can give.

With all that aside, for our own benefit, insurance has come to life. Many companies nowadays provide cheap auto insurance, but what gives? What can we do to determine which one to get?

The only advice I can give to all of you who read my blog would be to read everything you can about the company and to ask anyone you know regarding their experiences with it.

Experience can be the best teacher, but why do you have to go through the same mistakes that someone already has told you about? Learning from the mistake of others is always the wise thing to do.

Even if insurance can be expensive, it is something that needs to be considered. Many insurance agencies can guide you to which one you really want or need, just be wary of scams and all that jazz.

Happy driving!
