At Philippine Air Force in Lumbia #MindanaoHelpsManila

In response to the call to help Manila and all other parts of Luzon that had been recently flooded, CDO Bloggers Inc, together with Mindanaoan, have banded together in support for the campaign to give back help to Manila and Luzon. Image below, made by Fleire Castro, summarizes it all.. 

We were glad to have been able to deliver the collected/donated relief goods to the Philippine Air Force at Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro City.. 

We are also thankful for the help of the PAF. Not only did they carry the heavy load for us, but it's the C130 that shall take the relief goods to Luzon.. 

We had to repack the entire load so that they wouldn't get scattered on the plane.. and labeled so that the contact person in Manila will be able to get them without any problems..

We had a crazy night finishing everything.. and we had fun in the process.  Although there were minor challenges on our way home, still, it was a success.. Thanks Jacq and Mike for the company.. we had fun didn't we? hahahaha..

Women and Diamonds

Diamonds are said to be a woman’s best friend. Do you ever wonder why they say that? My take on that is this: diamonds are precious and a woman loves to be considered precious by those she shares a relationship with. So when one gives her a gift of diamonds then she takes it that she is as precious, as valuable as the diamond she receives. Would she prefer a diamond set in jewelry or a loose one? You may then begin to wonder: what do you mean by a loose diamond?

                    

Loose diamonds are quite simply diamonds which are not yet set in jewelry.  You may then ask: why would women want that? Well, when you think about it, when a woman receives a loose diamond, you also grant her freedom. Yes, you are giving her freedom to choose as to how she wants that diamond to be set as jewelry. You are giving her the choice with what kind of metal she wants to use it with. Moreover, you are granting her the choice of design she wants with her diamond and choice of metal. Isn’t that neat? Giving a woman a loose diamond is like telling her that she is valuable and that you also believe in her capacity to choose, in letting her enjoy freedom. She can then proceed with her loose diamond to her favorite jewelry maker to design it for her.

Now you may wonder what size of diamonds would please a woman best. Will she appreciate a gift of loose diamonds rather big in size? Does it mean that the bigger it is the better you value her? Women may disagree at this point. Some women would prefer a small size; these women are not the flashy types. They love their diamonds but they would not care what others think. If others notice their diamond, fine but if not, that’s also well and good. Some women, however, would love to show to the world that yes, they have diamonds. They enjoy having it and they love sharing, showing their joy to others.

What should you consider in buying loose diamonds? Jewelry makers would tell you to take note of the 4 Cs. The 4 Cs to consider in buying loose diamonds are” cut, color, clarity and carat. These are the four aspects of grading a diamond and this will let you determine the quality of the diamond and yes, its price.

Now to zero in on the cut of a diamond, have you considered getting trillion cut diamonds? Trillion cut diamonds are often used along with a larger piece of diamond in a ring but that is simply well, kind of conventional. I bet women who are artistic and non-traditional would choose trillion cut diamonds as a center stone for her ring or jewelry. Even women you may think as traditional may surprise you with how differently they would treat their jewelry or more specifically their diamonds.  

So what’s it going to be? For the brave, artistic woman of today, grant her a gift of loose diamonds. When you do, you will reap much gratitude and I would say, much love in return.

Debt Consolidation Loans in the Philippines

I have been looking into Debt Consolidation for quite sometime now. Not that it concerns me directly as of the moment, but I know that by my entry into DepEd in the next few months, it should be a known fact for me to prepare. Honestly, I have not enrolled in any loans before. I did have credit card bills in the past, but it's different when one takes on a loan. My cousin who works at DepEd in Camiguin told me that teachers incur loans for some important aspects like building a house, tuition for their kids, for a car, and all other necessities. In times of distress, employed individuals take on payday loans, while business people and entrepreneurs take on business loans. It's an aspect of life that's just part of the challenges people face in order to survive or beat competitors. Anyway, in my desire to know more about loans, I enrolled myself at Lenddo.Com.Ph, a website where users can get low-interest loans and financial tips. Below is an introductory slide I have found at SlideShare:

Lenddo from Lenddo

What I am most interested in is more knowledge in debt consolidation loans. I know that when we take on small loans, and there are too many of them for us to monitor, it will make our lives miserable going through every inch for a chance to meet their due date and pay the loans on time. I haven't heard of  fast cash loan Philippines until I opened a Lenddo account. It is truly a great source of information apart from proving loans to its members. 

Here is a screenshot of my Lenddo profile page, click the image to go to my account:

And here's a testimonial that I also found at SlideShare..
