Where Will You Watch Pacquiao Vs Bradley?

I am sure everyone here is excited for this Sunday's game. Manny Pacquiao will take the ring versus Bradley. Will Manny Pacquaio win? Or will it be Bradley's triumph?


Anyway, I know some of you would like to watch Pacquiao Vs Bradley live, with family and friends. Some have subscribed already to PayPerView just to watch Pacquiao Vs Bradley, while others, will watch it some place else.. Here in Mindanao, each barangay have already prepared a place for the masses to watch. And those who can afford can go to restaurants and hotels to do so...

Rent A Book: Make A Difference

Have you heard about Operation Smile? From my short online research, I found out that this movement, Operation Smile, is actually an organization where children with cleft anomalies and deformities undergo a  life changing cleft lip surgeries. Said children are from families that could not otherwise afford the surgical process. This long term improvement in the children's quality of life are truly inspiring. Donations come from all over, and mostly from big companies and individuals who are known in the society. But who says that college students are not able to do that too? 

CampusBookRentals.com is actually a partner of Operation Smile. For every book rented, a portion of the fees go to Operation Smile. So that college students who patronize textbook rentals, are also donating for the said cause. They have also aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships that had been distributed to students in communities just like ours, so that underprivileged kids will have books to use. 

Here's a video of how textbook rentals work:

Here are some CampusBookRentals.com FAQ's too:

Now, I am even more excited to look for books like Sybil, and rent it. It's gonna be 40-90% cheaper than buying the book itself, plus I can highlight on some important facts in the book. I can enjoy a 30 day risk free return. Best of all, I get to donate to Operation Smile..

ColorKiddos Gives Hope to ColoRectal Kids in the Philippines

I am joining a contest! Lovingly, Mama! is holding a contest to increase awareness about kids born with anorectal defects.  Her niece was born with an imperforate anus. It is a birth defect without a known cause. Her sister-in-law Maricar has launched the movement/social enterprise called ColorKiddos in order to help children who are born with similar conditions and whose parents are incapable of financially supporting their kids through the three surgical procedures required, plus the many medical supplies and medicines needed until the child has fully recovered and  bowels fully working.

And since this is a contest, they are giving away prizes for three winners, $20 to one person and $5 each to two others, which will be sent through Paypal. All the contestants will have to do is help them disseminate information about ColorKiddos and its cause, including this contest. In this way, we are all helping underprivileged colorectal kids in the Philippines to gain international attention for this cause. 

If you are interested to join, here is the contest link.

Just Some Minor Interruptions..

Are you a night owl? Are you a night worker by choice, or you just got used to it because you have no choice? Working at night have its advantages and disadvantages, both in the physical and psychological aspect. But if you ask me, I would rather work at night, when all the world is sleeping, and I am awake, because it is silent and I can concentrate, except with minor interruptions brought about by Facebook thread chats and many others. That's why when I need to get down and be serious with a task, I shut myself out and not open any social media account. But on days when I simply do lighter tasks, I work side by side with them, lol. Well, I am not employed in the government and I do not owe anyone for time, as I am NOT paid by the hour, so technically, doing so is just okay. Unlike those who work in the government, or even private institutions who in one way or another, cheat their employers with time by spending it on Facebook instead of working and finishing tasks that need immediate attention. 

I like working at night, but ever since there are too many of us here at the apartment, I have learned to work with minimal lighting, or no light at all, except the one coming from the laptop monitor. Typing is really not a problem as I have already mastered the keys. But for my drinks, I make sure they are on spill kits so that I could not cause any damage or get electrocuted. Hahaha.. Seriously, it helps to be cautious.
