Friend Abroad

I have friends working abroad who keeps telling me to get a job there too. From their stories, I can tell they do a lot more money now but they experienced hardwork on the start. Well, that sounds normal. The idea is very tempting, but right now, I still can't find a major reason of leaving my job here, nor the country.

I have this friend & former office mate working in Canada who has been there for I think 6 years already. I have lost contact with him and from the last email I got from him, he got promoted from work. Maybe he moved in other work place and lost my contact details or he's just plain busy. Anyway, I learned this canada phone number reverse on line service where I can look up for him. I wanted to contact him because I owe his eldest son gifts (im one of the godparent, that's why) at least for this coming holidays. If you wanted to look for someone in Canada, lets try this site!

I Need A Booster

I caught a new cold virus strain! I was down with colds (thank God, no cough followed) last week. Though this time, it's not that debilitating like my previous episodes with cold & cough viruses. Still, I was able to do my field work last week. I was in Nueva Ecija for 3 days. This is because of the flu vaccine shot I got last year. But now, I need a booster shot. Too bad, I have not seen an e-mail announcement from our mother company for free flu vaccine shot. I have to take double dose of vitamin C and drink lots of water because it seems that everyone has colds, at least in our office. Those that are recovering from the colds are the potential carrier and shedder of the virus.

Can you imagine how many billion strains of viruses that lived in our environment? One can never be infected with the same virus strain again. So, if you compute the average times you caught a cold in a year, times your current age....hhhmmmmm, i don't want to know....

Heritage Web Solutions

Thanks to the power of internet. It makes our job easy. Like in my work for instance. My work calls for at least 60% continuous communication with strategic agencies, production houses and creative boutiques. With internet, email, they can submit creative studies and pitches that I can instantly see and check with out the hassle of printing them, delivering them to our office before the final production. Then, I can send instant messages to them explaining the revisions.

Well, I can't state all the benefits I get from these, and I bet all of you agrees with me. Heritage Web Solutions has them all!!!. Below is a press release material for you to find out.

Press Release:

The internet has revolutionized the ways businesses market themselves. It is essential for businesses, both large and small, to have an effective web presence. A company’s website essentially serves as their electronic store front, communicating the company’s identity to website visitors.

Today, there are approximately 970 million internet users thus making internet marketing the most effective way to appeal to customers from around the world. Websites overcome the limitations between countries and continents thus making a company international. Having a website also means that a business is open and reachable at any time and allows for quick customer response time.

But, it isn’t as simple as just setting up a website. The only way for a company to be set apart from other online competition is unique website design. Businesses turn to internet technology companies for the development of a professional and search engine friendly, website.

More of our purchases are made online, or at least we research online before making a purchasing decision. Our checking, savings and credit card accounts are maintained and paid for online. Our socializing has moved to FaceBook, YouTube and MySpace. Our communications are emailed, texted or Skyped. Breaking news can now be fed instantly via RSS feeds to our computers or cell phones instead of waiting for the six o’clock news. The Internet is very much a main part of human society today.”

Twilight in November

Now, I'm back to my good ol' reading days. After Harry Potter series, I have not read any other fiction books. Now that the Stephenie Meyer book series is out, I bet I'll be hooked on to all of them, as in, work-book routine. Move over, DVD and the tv series i've been following (besides, I can catch up with them in dvds). Im preparing for the first movie offering of the book series... Twilight which is scheduled to be shown mid-November!

Long Drive... To and From...

I just got back from Nueva Ecija. Our company sponsored an event to award outstanding professionals in the field of animal science and veterinary research. It was indeed a long drive. I once said, and stand to my statement that "long drive soothes my nerves", until now. I was so tired. I was not able to keep up with it without good music and the jokes that two of my companion crack from time to time. Yes, I do laugh (really hard) even to simple jokes. It made me forget the difficulty am in because of the glaring headlights of vehicles at the other side of the road. It also made our trip a little less boring.

There are times that I also save jokes that was sent to me through text because I want to share it to my friends and hoping they will laugh really hard too just like I did!

Panic Buy

Oh no! I panicked-buy again! And this time, on e-bay!!! This usually happens when I was not able to buy the things I want from mall shopping. Now, I got 7 items bought (not bid) up on my ebay name. It's like I was "bitin" from my spree last Saturday. Why does e-bay have the things I
wanted all at the same time?

Mystery Caller

I've been receiving unwanted calls in our office during work hours. A credit card company offering their latest promo or even on-line application. One time, a call telling me that I won an overnight stay at a hotel and that I have to pick up the certificate at their office and asking me to stay for at least 60 minutes for their detailing. All of these are time consuming and annoying especially if you have a deadline to beat.

In the US, you can Report Annoying Callers. Its a special service that will help you identify prank and mystery callers. You can trace the number that is not in your phone book . This service is very useful since now, everyone has mobile cellphones. I hope we can access it here too!!
