Mask

Masquerade...that was the theme of our company's New Year's party for 2008. This was one of the masks used during the party. I love its color! :)

Let's see what other Wordless Wednesday participants has in store for us. :)

Flowers Online

Generally, flowers bring delight to the recipient. Fresh flowers that is. I love receiving flowers, decorating some parts of the house with colorful flowers. Though I am a minimalist, it's obvious that a few flowers here and there inside the house liven up the rooms.

I also love sending flowers to my families and friends. Most of them live in another country but luckily there are websites which offer flower delivery.

It helps that an online site for ordering flowers give a wide array of choices. Depending on the occasion, one can browse what appropriate flower to order. How flowers are arranged help buyers decide with their flower purchase. I am one meticulous buyer of flower especially if it is online.

Price is one factor in purchasing flowers or anything for that matter. It helps if there is a link for the different prices. This saves a lot of time for people who are working on a budget. Highlighting which are the best sellers give the browsers good ideas on a possible purchase.

As an online shopper, I like it if a site has loads of graphics or pictures of the actual buys detailed in an organized manner. Nothing which looks cluttered. I want something that will entice me to really buy. It's very important that the site carries all the information that I will be needing - the picture of the product, the price, the accessories that could go with it, say, gift basket or even a flower pot or a flower vase in this case. Easy navigation helps a lot. I like it like it's a one-stop-shop when I order flowers online.

An organized and informative flower site will make a possible buyer actually purchase not just once but everytime one thinks of sending those beautiful flowers to families and friends.

Health Care Management

One might consider a career in health care management as an x-ray technician. It is both a rewarding and challenging job in the sense that it is considered a big step in a patient's correct diagnosis.

Normally this job requires preparing patients before the x-ray procedure is done. As an x ray technician, one is highly responsible for implementing with high precision all the equipment necessary - they have to be in good condition, with the right specifications in terms of range or angle to obtain the optimum result of the film for the x-ray.

As an xray technician, one is trained how to use efficiently and effectively the basic and complex equipment needed to carry out an x-ray procedure.

Wanted: A Good Web Host

I have been blogging for almost two years. In that span of time I had several templates already. I don't even remember anymore how many exactly. I have always wanted a clean look, a professional look. I learned how to play with HTML codes. I am still not an expert but I at least know how to put in backgrounds, change colors, modify widths, the basic.

I guess I would be in perennial search of a perfect template. I love changing templates though what I have now has been here for several months already. I am in search again.

I am already familiar with some blogs with free and paid templates site suited with my blog host. Just that sometimes when I go back, these sites are gone already or under maintenance. If I am the author of these kinds of blogs, I would see to it that my web host's technical capability is on the up side. No downtime or at least minimal glitches that would affect the site and the author's standing or credibility.

As I searched for templates again I came to a site where an entry about web hosting was posted. It's a familiar web site for me since I have tried its free blogger templates before. At least I know that the author is very dedicated in keeping up the site for his and his readers' and customers' sake.

Managing Finances

I used to have three credit cards when I was single. I am not proud of it but I have to say I have maximized my limit and totally paid them in one year and a half. This is not to mention that I also have appliance loans in a financing firm. Maybe twenty percent of the things I bought for myself on credit are for long term use - DVD, television set, sound system. But the rest of the eighty percent are negligible - shoes, clothes, cell phones, travel expenses, what have you. I could have used cash on most instances but the lure of swiping and spending nothing at least for the moment were quite strong.

Through the years I have learned the fine art of managing my finances. It was quite traumatic paying them on a monthly basis simultaneously. I have been debt-free in terms of credit cards for several years already. No, I will not be in debt because of the things I fancy at the moment.

I recently acquired a credit card again but I am very wise in using it. I only use it for online purchases and pay them as soon as the first bill comes, at least half of the amount. That way, I cover up immediately what's on the credit card.

Another thing is creating a budget for the month setting aside the alotted savings before any expense. This is working for me and good to note that I have acquired the discipline of budgeting.

It is never too late. One should start moving on, take steps to improve one's finance management. You can do it alone or ask for help. Debt Management Plan will help any individual who are focused on managing their finances wisely.

What to Do, What to Do

It's hot specially in the afternoon. Can't deny it, summer is here in the Philippines. I am not one to jump with joy over the summer as I do not prefer the glaring sun. I just like it mild. But one can't avoid the summer, right? I just look forward to the things I want to do this summer and try my best to get distracted with the heat of the sun.

1. Finally try to make refrigerator cake. They say it's easy. I guess so. I will post it here once I am done with it.

2. Catch up with the movies I missed since the latter part of 2007.

3. Unlike my dear daughter who will be on summer vacation, this Mommy will be at work but I will treat weekends like it's my own summer vacation. Bake, bake and bake some more until I am good at it.

4. Organize my photo albums one by one. I have finally organized my photos stored in my laptop. It's now time to have them actually developed batch by batch. I started already. Thousands more to come, lol.

5. Vacation with my family of course, have a swim again, go the beach. Have a tan...not.

6. Enroll my daughter to her usual swimming lessons. She wants to learn the guitar so be it. We already scouted a short summer guitar course for her. I like it that my daughter is exploring her talents.

7. Attend my batch's summer plans and meetings for our alumni homecoming.

8. Redecorate the living room, just because.

9. Try my own foot spa at home.

10. Start collecting my baking equipment.

11. Start reading the Twilight series. And see what's good in them. :D

12. Clean the closet, give away the old, check out those I can still wear with a few repairs.

13. Finally, make some smoothies! My daughter want a banana smoothie. I'd do just that.

Online Slots

I remember the first time I entered a casino a few years ago with my officemates, we went directly to the slot machines. We had fun playing the game. It was a break from the four day conference we were having. Beginner's luck as they say, I won an amount enough to cover what I spent and some, like treating to dinner the seven friends I was with that time.

These days, one need not get out from the comforts of your home or hotel for that matter in case you are on vacation. There are a lot of online casinos you can choose from.

You can find and play slots you prefer online. If you are at a lost on what to take, you might want to browse on the Most Voted Online Slots so you can have a quick glimpse of what most people like and why. That will save you time in choosing.

Ever wonder if online slots are fair? After all, anything can happen when you are wired. Browse for a quick explanation why, yes, it is a fair game.

Online Slots City will give you a rundown of progressive slots games. This is of interest to all slots players since it gives them the knowledge of the payout or the jackpots.

Instruction Number Fifteen

I am in high spirits these days because I am excited with a lot of things. I browsed once again on the Dalai Lama's Instructions for Life and took very well note of the fifteenth: "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before".

My family and I love vacations whether, out of town, or just hideaway in a hotel somewhere in the metropolis. Summer is here and there are already places hubby and I have in mind.

But let me post the places tagged as mysterious which I would like to explore.


1. Egypt, The Great Pyramid of Giza. How do pyramids stand the test of time? No nails, no cement, nothing to hold them together.
2. Stonehenge, England. Have there been any news that this structure collapse during a storm? And what are these really for?
3. Bermuda Triangle, North Atlantic. Is this a black hole? It appears though, according to research, that large methyl hydrate combined with water generates gas which causes airplanes or ships to sink. That, in a nutshell.
4. Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland. Hauntings and secret passages, could there be some truth to these?
5. White Pyramid, China
6. Walking Statue, Easter Island
7. Potala Palace, Tibet. Maybe not mysterious but majestic.
8. Basilica of St. Peter, Vatican City
9. Welbeck Abbey, England. From my readings, its secret chambers are a sight to behold.
10. Angkor Wat, Cambodia
11. Glastonbury, England
12. Nazca Lines, Peru
13. Arkaim, Russia. Again, circle formation which cannot be explained.
