books and reading

I am an avid reader, it was only when I got totally hook to blogging that I seldom hold a book to read. But whenever there's a chance, I always try to read books specially those that were recommended by friends like those fitness and diet books that I badly need to read now because I am absolutely continuously gaining so much weight, it freaks me out already. Although I usually hit the bookstores whenever we go the mall, to search great listings from my favorite author or mos the time snag some few copies of magazines, it has been a habit you know, a good one since we all know that reading is good for the brain. Something I would like to instill to my daughter. Anyways, speaking of books, my friends recently hoarded a lot of it from www.borders.com, famous online bookstore that caters from children to adult reading stuff. A friend got herself some nursing books since she will be reviewing for the US nursing board exam thus she needs to study hard core. And most of them snagged a lot of children books for their tots and young readers, because it was being sold on sale! you see, children books are so expensive at the bookstores that is why it is such a good thing to hoard whenever their on sale.

excited girl

My niece is about to have their super awaited out of town field trip this coming January. And as early as now, she is one excited girl! She keeps on talking about the details of their soon trip and the works to us and she has been saving a lot of her allowance for her to have additional money for the travel. Actually, she has been begging me to accompany her, and she is even convincing me to bring along my twenty-one old toddler, for she said that they are about to hire the best bus service in the metro for their trip! Wow, meaning they'll be having the largest bus in town, something that will be so spacious and clean, it would be perfectly safe for my toddler's travel, and yes, the air conditioning system promise so well, that is according to their pamphlets that my niece is letting me read. It actually makes me wonder if it can be compare to the famous charter bus nyc that has been the most famous shuttle service in New York, catering the largest and the most number of tourists in town. Being in the business for more than twenty years ,even my dad is one of the many satisfied customer they had some years ago. Well, let's see if the bus service my niece will soon be using is also as good as the NY bus service, and if I am coming along? I'm still not sure though... We'll also see.

blurbed

the company i previously worked with had already transferred to another phase of the same zone, way lot bigger than the previous one thus making it hard for the employees search for someone they need to have a talk with. unlike before, the place is so small you can just basically shout for one's name and expect him or her to hear you, it has an easy access too to wherever you want to go. that is why my work as a Production Planning Officer was not hard at all (although at times I wish of becoming one of the high earner worker as being employed in Travel Nursing Jobs that is being offered by www.50statesstaffing.com, a staffing online site that promises and really does make dreams become reality by helping those medical professionals find work in 50 different states of the US ,so where am I? anyways,back with the means of going to this and that place, everything is just a few steps away. but now, my friends told me that they actually need a surround paging system to call the person they need to talk to or something, and even scouting for a lot of security stuffs for theft prevention that they can put in the production and warehouse area too. in another words, the company is really in its improving state. trying to be so competitive and acquiring technology it never has before. thus makes the purchasing officer look for online sites that sells out products such as those mentioned above like IT Planet that offers hardwares for businesses and the likes.

ours

I love weddings! I just do. Even when I was still young, I always dream of myself walking down the long aisle towards the man of my dreams, aka my Prince Charming! Well, it happened some three years ago, though I must admit that our wedded life is not all bed of roses, I still would marry the man I sad Yes to. Sounds mushy I know, but who cares? I know a lot feels the same way too.

And speaking of Wedding, I always love helping out friends who are asking my help for some Wedding Ideas. Good thing I was able to save a list that I used during our wedding preparation, and it was www.weddingchannel.com that has been a great help for us during those times, from my flower choices to shoes and the songs to be played, it was all gotten from the said site. Truly helpful for those who are planning to tie the knot. Actually we were supposed to have those tiny silver spoons for give aways that I was able to snag from their site too, but you know, budget wise, it doesn't fit ours, so we settled for something else. But nevertheless, it was still the wedding I dreamed of. I was really really happy.

work downfall

I was talking to a previous office mate the other day and we talk about how the global crisis affecting the company, well the entire economic zone actually. Since a lot of companies have no choice but to shut down, there are only few who are still battling the crisis right now, fighting so hard that even laying off workers are the hardest option they make in order to survive. Hard to accept but yes, it is true. In fact, the news earlier reports that more and more countries are confirming their downfall in business and economy. That is why it is advisable for companies to be wise enough in acquiring business deals and projects. It is also an advantage if they have one of the most promising system out in the market today. The so called Business Continuity Recovery of Syncsort Incorporated is one good example. It is proven to really help the system itself in almost everything, making the company and the business runs more effectively and smoothly. So I guess it is time to suggest and make a move in getting technolgies like this in times like now.

Cramming

My sister has been cramming her head out to finish ever reports and thesis requirement for their subjects. She said that she needs to finish everything before the holiday season comes in, but the fact that everything is in a rush mode now, it has been harder for them to set appointments and schedules to hospitals, care homes and the likes. Sometimes I pity her so because she has to go to the hospital for her report completion at the wee hours of the night, although she has no choice but to finish everything, sometimes she wished that she is enrolled in one of those online colleges like the well known Capella University. Maybe sho wouldn't have to do all the stuff she has been busy about for sometime now. But who knows, if she still wanted to continue her pre med course, she can still get a study course at Capella too, while working! Now that's super nice!

Another wish

For Christmas it is! Aside from the posted Twilight saga that I wished from our Twitter exchange gifts, I am also wishing for a new camera bag from Tracy Joy or the 6 million dollar bag by Crumpler, I guess a new 50mm lens will do good too! Or if Santa is generous enough, maybe he can get me a new gold anklet! you see, I've been good this year, so I believe receiving more this year is acceptable. Oh yeah, aside from those sexy lingerie available online, I would love to get this cute toggle bracelet, which can be bought at Etsy too! :D
