Paying Post

For the past few months, I have been successful with earning a little bit of money while I blog. Sure, I’ve joined a few companies that pay you to blog about products and/or services in your blog but only two have gained my trust and both of them are one hundred percent trustworthy. Unfortunately, finding trustworthy companies are hard to come by these days and a since a lot of bogus “blog for money” websites are rapidly popping up these days, finding a good company is quite a hassle.

This time, I was invited to join another company, Paying Post, that has a platform similar to “get paid to blog” sites. I looked into their FAQs and ABOUT page and they look promising. This is the first time that I have signed up with them and I am getting quite a positive feedback from the company.

What makes this platform work is that a lot of advertisers today shell money for blog advertising. With the increasingly number of people online and with more high speed Internet connection, going online is a breeze thereby having advertisements in a variety of blogs can really help. To find out more about this service, visit http://www.payingpost.com.

Because I Hate Typing

I am quite average when it comes to typing. However, I do not type using the touch system. I guess this stems to the fact that I refused to practice typing using the traditional type writer during our class in grade school.

Sure, I am a passable typist and I can type without staring at the keys at all but I am not using all my five fingers on the right keys! Embarrassing, I know but hey, that’s life. I’ve seen quite a few who are worse than me and can only type using two fingers! I kid, you not!

On this note, I tried out Dragon’s typing speed test! Nah, I didn’t even fair well at all! So, why am I talking about typing? Well, it’s because I found out a new program called Dragon Naturally Speaking which can transcribe your voice at a 150 words per minute! What’s more, it can even transcribe any wav or mp3 file for you. Now that is something since my typing speed can never keep up with my thoughts!

I know it would be very convenient for us to have this program since it basically transcribes what you want to write about. There would be no need to type in the letters which would make your thoughts flow smoothly.

Internet Finds: Coupons for Personalized Business Checks

When I signed up for my own checking account a few years ago, I had an option to choose my own personal check design. Cool isn’t it? I thought so because back in the Philippines, you couldn’t choose the design; you have to use the generic design that your bank gives you. Sucks I know, but there was nothing you can do but make do with what they give you. Fortunately, I saw this website and browsed through their gallery and I am already thinking of ordering a set.

For those who have their own business, I have also an answer for you if you need a unique and personalized design for your business checks? Vista Prints is the answer. You can order your own personalized business checks to suit you and your company’s needs.

I’ve actually visited their website and found out that you can upload your own design or logo and use it as your check design. Neat isn’t it? What’s more, if you decide to buy your own set today, just enter this code Checks25 to get 25% off Checks! You could also go ahead an order your own business card and upload your design or monogram of your company. Hurry and order now at www.vistaprint.com.

Loans and Dreams

With the US economy starting to go down, people have lost more than their houses. I really don’t have much information regarding the current economy because I haven’t been paying much attention and rely solely on others for the information. I know this is not right but as I am still under my mom’s domain, I have left all the money and financial matters to her.

For someone who doesn’t have that much collateral, they still have the option of getting Personal Loans whenever they need to. Sometimes, getting a Personal Loan is very helpful to those who need money in a snap and don’t have many assets to speak of.

To those who need a car, either new or used, you can also go ahead and get a Car Loan to help you get your dream car. I know I would when I would get my own set of wheels! Try going to Bad Credit Lender to get your preferred loan today!

Masquerades and Nightmares

I’ve always wanted to dress up for Halloween. Unfortunately, all my dreams have been dashed one way or another by some teacher who didn’t allow us students to come in our full Halloween regalia.

No matter, I was still daydreaming (?) about getting my Goth costume. No, don’t get me wrong, I’m not Goth, but I do love how they dress up; it’s like my secret desire, if you will.

My first experience of Halloween here in the US was not as good as it should have been. A friend insisted on going to Hollywood & Vine to check out some Halloween action when in fact, the real action was held at a different location. Anyway, we will try and go there this year and I won’t forget to snap photos of it!

Halloween is not a “bright” costume party so getting a “happy” costume is not what I have in mind. I always go for the seductive and dark costumes if I can get away with it! I hope this year I can grab me some and dress up for the occasion!

Getting into the Halloween festivities whether in school, work or at home is fun! Lots of candies, bobbing for apples, blood red punch, that sort of thing, will be what you are going to look out for. Plus, this is a good bonding time for you, your officemates, or your friends!

This time, I will be darkening the doors of halloween costume stores in our area. Yes, I am not taking this thing mildly. If I have to dress up like a Goth Vamp and be with my Edward (I’m still thinking of Twilight!) for this Halloween then that’s what I’ll do. Happy haunting!

Shopping for a Webhost Service

Much argument has been bandied about on what the best hosting service out there. In this day and age, many bloggers seem to be finding it difficult to find website hosting that can fit their needs.

I have now made quite a few blogs and I am currently shopping for new webhosts. I’m not actively shopping, though but browsing around can help me make up my mind if and when I would decide to go ahead and buy one.

I recently found a website that sums up the best website hosting services in cyberspace. They have a list of the best webhost providers depending on your needs. If you want to find a blog host, then searching for the best hosting services can be found at webhostingrating.com. Want more info about web hosting? Check out their article and tutorials that can help you select the webhost to fit your needs.

Power Steering

It’s been a few months since I tried to get behind the wheel of a car. I’m still in the learning stages of driving and I have tried both stick and automatic cars. Many people have said that sticks are harder than automatics and I agree. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get the hang of automatics. I guess I can blame it to the fact that I haven’t been practicing in the last few months because I was busy with school.

The new cars these days are easy to maneuver owing to the invention of power steering. Power steering helps us maneuver our vehicles with ease and comfort and not strain while turning the wheels.

Today, power steering racks are available all throughout the web for those who want to trick out their cars. Want to get steering racks and steering boxes that dealers only had the opportunity to get? Check out http://www.powersteeringpros.com/.

Defend Your PC

Getting a good Antivirus Software is complicated. What should I buy? Which is the best antivirus software in the market? Should I splurge and buy the expensive ones?

These are some of the questions that usually plague me every time I shop for an antivirus software. I recently found a new early detection software that protects your computer and your identity against spyware, viruses, malware, adware, phishing scams, and dangerous spam. We know how hard it is to protect our PC when it comes to these kinds of problems because new viruses and such pop up everyday. I am now contemplating about trying out the CyberDefender Early Detection Center to protect myself from all the viruses out there.

Labels and OCD, Get Organized

When I was still in high school, I loved labels. I loved to label everything from my school books to notebooks, to pens and pocket books. It seemed that I was always stamping my signature everywhere (even in the arm chairs and walls) and I admit, I was a vandal.

When I reached college, I started being OCD. Come to think of it, I started being OCD when I was still in grade school! I used to line my books and notebooks in order from the biggest to the smallest in my bag and in my desk. I wasn’t like Monk, though but I was close!

Anyway, when I was in nursing school, I started to receive a lot of junk (yes I call them junk) handouts from our instructors and some handouts from my classmates. Being an OCD that I am, I started stacking them and placing them in file folders with labels on them just so they wouldn’t get lost in the mess. It served me well for a few months until I started receiving more and more useless handouts! I just had to dump some of them in the trash just so I wouldn’t accumulate such junk in my room.

Today, however, the habit of labeling stuff still doesn’t escape me. I sill love to put things in order and well, I am messy even when I am OCD in other aspects so that doesn’t entirely make me super OCD (if that makes sense). One thing that I should have had was the DYMO label maker. You see, it is so easy to make labels out of this device that I cannot believe that I didn’t have one of these things back in the day. It’s portable, and very easy to use and it is ideal for labeling things like file folders, CDs, DVDs, books, notebooks, jars and other stuff around the house that needs labels.

Consolidate Debts

With an increase in gas prices, basic commodities have followed suit and have increased as well. This is especially hard in countries with lower economies than in the United States. Sometimes, I still can’t comprehend why these people keep on complaining when in fact, they have got it good. I mean, most people can afford to buy food and other basic commodities while in other countries, basic commodity prices are sky high.

I have spent time here in the US and I have realized that a lot of people are deeply in dept. I guess it can be attributed to credit cards. You see, people get tempted to spend more than they earn because they can simply flash their plastic cards and get the items they want without ever spending cold hard cash. This is a big mistake because when the bills come, they still have to pay them. Sure, there are a lot of sales and bargains everywhere, but when these things pile up, they can amount to a lot of money.

Only a few people can spare money for savings. Some even work from paycheck to paycheck and that is not good at all. When this happens, spending money on entertainment and other frivolous things should become second but unfortunately, this is not the case.

Because of the mounting bills, some people opt to consolidate their debts. I didn’t really understand what consolidate debt means but when I surfed over to Bills.com, they gave me a full explanation of this term.

Consolidating your debt means that you pay off all your debts and make one loan so that you will only be paying one loan as a whole. Sometimes, these loans have lower interest rates than most credit cards so this can work for you as well.

However, always relying on debt consolidation will never solve your problems. What you need to do is save up some money and never touch it until an emergency comes along. With good health care insurance coverage, I suspect touching your stash will be safe for a long time.

Internet Finds: Yard Signs

A few years ago, making signs on tarpaulin for special occasions, events, and businesses were the thing. It seemed like everyone was paying big bucks to get the best designs and layouts that fit their needs. I admit, I haven’t been one to join in on the bandwagon because I didn’t find a use for these signs. Even on our wedding, we didn’t have them because it didn’t add to the whole theme of our wedding.

When I arrived here in California a few years ago, I noticed that there where many signs and ads everywhere. A lot of businesses seemed to be spending big bucks just to be advertised on buses, bus stop chairs, and others. These must have cost them a lot of money since having only one add is not really that effective; you need to have a lot of ads and distribute it around different parts of the city for you to get enough revenue from these ads.

While doing my blog hopping, I discovered a website that makes yard signs for your advertising and personal needs. The website, www.vistaprint.com, is offering you a variety of choices for your signs; you can choose from a variety of preset designs that they provide you, you can upload your own personal design, or you can even ask them to make your designs for you. Isn’t that great? The prices are affordable too.

Want to get your own signs? Type in YardSigns25 to get 25% Off on your yard signs purchase.

Sweltering Heat

It’s almost the end of summer in my part of the world and it’s still steaming hot! I don’t the think it has rained in ages, well since I arrived last June, anyway. I know I’m pretty much ranting about something that I cannot change but I can control the heat, though.

We have been using the ac pretty much every time we drive these days and I must say a working ac compressor is definitely important. Even with the rising cost of gas prices, we still cannot sacrifice our comfort; it’s just sweltering outside!

For your Honda ac compressor and auto ac parts needs, check out http://www.discountacparts.com for a full selection of auto parts for all car models.

Internet Finds: Clicksmart.com

I know it’s pretty hard to find a good and comprehensive site directory for small businesses in your area. While doing my blog hopping, I found a site that helps you locate small businesses in your area. http://www.clicksmart.com/ is a web directory that helps you locate different small businesses like Phoenix Realtors.

Using http://www.clicksmart.com/ is as simple as 123. All you need to do is pick a category, enter a zip code or pick a state or city, and click GO! You will be redirected to a listing of different business that belongs to your category of choice. For example, I will simply click on the Realtor category and enter Phoenix then click GO to be redirected to different lists of Realtors in Phoenix.

Site directories are indeed helpful when you need to check out different business around your location to help you decide which place to go and which place to avoid.

Contests: It's My Birthday Contest!

Yes, you read it! No, it's not my birthday but one of my online friends Miss Write is having a contest. I loved the way she phrased it in her post when she said that "Instead of waiting for you people to send me presents, though, I guess this is a very good chance for me to give back to everyone who helped make this blog a success (albeit a minor one)."

Well, there's nothing minor about her contest, mind you. Her first place winner will receive a June Casagrande’s best-seller, Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies: A Guide to Language for Fun and Spite (1 Winner) + 1 signed copy of Mortal Syntax from June Casagrande. Isn't that great? Quite appropriate, actually given the fact that Miss Write has a writing blog; one of my favorites on the web. The second prize would be 1000 Entrecard Credits each (2 Winners), and the third prize, 500 Entrecard Credits each (5 Winners).

For more info about her contest mechanics, check out her blog Miss Write.

Deadline for submission of entries: 12 midnight, Sept. 8, 2008 (GMT +0800)

Winners will be announced on September 9, 2008 (Miss Write's 25th birthday!)
