COMPUTER TRAINING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS..

Hey guys, do you know that there is already a computer training software to help you learn more about anything and everything? Computer based training (CBT) and online computer training videos are the specialty of  K Alliance. Remember them? I blogged about them a few months back. They offer a complete e-learning solution in the form of either dvd, cd, intranet, or online training video courseware. That will definitely save more money than organizing for a formal training with a very expensive coach and trainer for a half day session... No matter which method you prefer, K Alliance has online software training courses to help achieve anyone's e-learning goals. Its self-paced computer training videos include hundreds of choices in topics such as IT Training, Certification Training, Desktop Office and Soft Skills. All that and more.. They can even work with a company's specific team to develop custom e-learning courseware. Isn't that neat???

Ha! If I am the owner of a company, I would definitely choose that kind of training. After all, when people are subjected to a  2-3 days training on the spot, there is still no guarantee that they will be able to get it right then and there. With the dvds and all other K Alliance forms, teh learner can repeat learning or review what he or she has learned in the course of time..

YUMMY SUNDAY: BARBECUE

That's the barbecue we ordered at Camaman-an. There is no name of the specific stand but they are the only one right at the crossing. The bend before going to Carmelite or Bontong.I tell you, their bbq are a bit different.. Plus the owner and her staff are very good in customer service.. Love the sauce..

AMAZING WEDDING DOCUMENTATION

Anyone here know who Buddy Gancenia is? Well, if you are familiar with his style in wedding videography, then you must know him. I saw this video on you tube and that's where I got to see how good he makes every wedding video:

As a wedding videographer, he takes into detail making the best if not the perfect wedding videography that would last a lifetime. If you are getting married and gets the service of Buddy Gancenia, then you must really be a bold and daring couple who would go for his wedding videography services in reality wedding video style. If you ask me, it is one of the greatest documentations ever. AH! If I was the bride and I am able to see the videos 10 to 15 years later, I would definitely be able to relive the special  moment once again. Hmm.. That is if the marriage is successful. If not, then I am sure it will make me  think of the wonderful things that happened in the beginning..  I think that is what these video documentations are for...  To relive a moment filled with all the positive things in our lives.. On another note, it is but a good way to share your happy moment with someone who lives far away or some distant relatives who were not able to make it during that day... And if you choose a Buddy Gancenia, it will be like having them there, or making them feel they were there also..

Ahh.. Weddings.. Watch out for a wedding is set to take place soon.. Someone close to me will be marching down the aisle soon.. Hmm.. Should I call Buddy?? Anyway, take a peek of his website 

That's my favorite in his website..  And the one below is the one on the rates and services..

If you want to visit his page, go to www.realityweddingvideo.tv

LUNCH WITH AUNTIE IRMA

My Aunt Irma and I had lunch at Jollibee fronting  Lourdes College.. And we ordered the latest treat from them.

The Jollibee barbeque chicken with Java rice combo, we changed the softdrink to pineapple juice..  What I love about this new reat from Jobee is the rich sauce...

It's a new treat to die for.. YUMMY!

See that???

And we finished this lunch with the Ube Cheese Ice Craze.. Just one to share because we are trying to go on a diet, lol...

Mary Claire Won!!

Sports Betting had been the hobby of my friend Mary Claire. I did mention that in my previous post right? Anyway, she was telling this morning that I too should join Vegas Betting online as there is money there. I was a bit shocked and kiddied her that I do not have enough money or resources to do it. She then told me to go online for a site where she regularly bids in a Vegas Sports Betting site she loves to go to. And true enough, the site is well tailored for this purpose. But still I said NO.. Then with a shrill jumpy and excited voice she told me she won $2000 grand..just this morning.. I was dumbfounded... .

My date with Sweet---

After claiming Sweet's OC Training Pack from National Bookstore, we went straight to Greenwich.. We were hungry so we decided to pig out, my sister and I..

Below are the foodies we ordered..

Four Seasons Fit n Right Pitcher for P 139.00

Came first was "Our dessert" Brownie at P 14.00 each

And the 7 meats and cheeses overload pizza, double at P 225.00

Overall, it was a great afternoon. Loved all the foodies.. We finished everything.. Wahoo.. 

Trace That Number

Have you ever experienced being harassed or mistreated on the phone by someone who do not exist even in your imagination? How would you like to be able to Trace That Number online? I am sure you will agree with me that people, callers or texters or even fellow bloggers who bother you by continuously stalking you anonymously online or making outrageous phone calls even at the wee hours of the morning or the unholy hours at night and send insulting and harsh text messages anytime during the day, are way too dangerous to be allowed to continue with what they are doing. Technically, they are already causing disharmony in your ever peaceful realm of existence. Not to mention, chaos, when things get worse. So to be able to trace these unlawful nuisance, go to www.tracethatnumber.com and trace the owner of the said number.. And when that person is found out, legal matters follow. Ha! That will be the day...

As for me, the blogger you keeps stalking my blog is still around. She has not updated her blog anymore...Maybe it's because she has already been found out.. What a loser!

ALL ABOUT FANS

All of us should go for intrinsically safe fans. Just like the one on the photo above. That's the Explosion Proof Ventilator Fan / Blower  with a 25 foot Static Conductive Duct Fan whose general function is to redirect stale air from hazardous location areas.  This is quite unique because it is certified for all groups. Now, for confined spaces that require a powerful ventilator that meets strict hazardous space standards, there is a specific fan called the EPF-30P which delivers high-performance with uncompromising safety. It uses pneumatic operation, which means that this fan requires a compressor to operate it. This unit will not be powered by an electrical outlet, instead, it will be connected to a compressor that can feed it 38 CFM at 100 PSI.  The intrinsically safe design of the EPF-30P ensures against dangerous sparking. I guess, that is what we should always look into when choosing a fan. The energy-efficient, high performance motor is totally enclosed, giving the assurance that the fan will work safely. The EPF-30P can provide all the continuous circulating airflow you need to get the job done. Ah! What a wonderful piece of information I gathered online today.. Thanks Google..

My SISTER'S OC TRAINING KIT

Sweet finally got her OC Training Kit from NBS Limketkai. I got mine weeks ago and I even blogged about it previously. Mommy Phebie also got hers..So if you are also interested, you still have time as this promo will run until September 30, 2009. Click here if you wanna sign up now..

HAIR LOSS PRODUCTS

Fellow mom and blogger, Janette, told me over plurk, about hair loss products reviewed at her site. It is quite the right timing as my sister Sweet and I had been scouring all cosmetics and toiletries shops and department stores, including groceries for hair loss products. Sweet and I notice that as we age, our hair is thinning and are afraid of them vanishing.. What's a pretty face without hair???

Anyway, I read her blog and I am really thankful for Janette for sharing it with me..

MARANG SEEDS

After eating Marang, what do you usually do with the seeds? Most of you would say that they end up in the trash.. But here are a few ways that they can still be utilized...

• They can be roasted and eaten similarly like peanuts...
• They can be roasted and peeled, then powdered, then taken with a little water as a good way to relieve cough
• They can also be powdered and be made as mosquito repellant

Ha! The first one is from experience, the rest are from Science Investigatory Projects way back when I was in High School..

Free Phone Lookups

My cousin Ted is looking for a site where he can do Free Phone Lookups.. Hmm.. seems that Teddy boy is playing detective again.. lol... Anyway, I think it's almost my fault really-- See, I told Ted about this site I once came across where you can browse a list of available area codes to get information about the number you need. All you have to do is enter a full phone number in one the bars provide on the site to get the information you want immediately. A Free phone lookup gets and gives anyone general information about any number, while an advanced phone report will get and give anyone all the owner and address information about any caller. If you want to start your search today, go to www.whosthiscaller.com.. That's the site Ted is raving for now, lol..

HELP FOR MANANG BEBING:

Below is an open letter for my cousin's serious condition.. Being in need of money also, POSTING this is my only contribution. I hope some of you can help her...

****

Greetings from the city of Cagayan de Oro!

I am writing you at this moment, hoping that the generosity you possess can alleviate my seemingly hopeless situation. In fact, I am in a hospital, just been operated from a serious illness known only to women. Actually, I have been getting in and out of the hospital since July and have succumbed to numerous blood transfusions already. In spite of my financial incapacity, I got no choice but submit to an operation in order to save my life. My healing is not yet secured, and I can't peacefully recuperate, due to the hospital bill that is quite steep for me to provide. My doctor, Dr. Melicor and the Bethel Baptist Hospital, in Malaybalay City, did its best to lower down my obligation. However, it turned out to be P 60,000 pesos, the balance. I asked friends, relatives and others to assist me in this dilemma. I believe they will try their best, but I have the feeling they can't reach the said need. I therefore decided to send you a letter, asking you a favor, to assist me in anyway you can. I can't get out of the hospital due to the required fee. You can either guarantee or share an amount; sorry for disturbing you at this time, but I am just doing everything I can think of, to solve this huge problem. I am only requesting, I hope you will understand.

May God bless you and your loved ones, and shower you with blessings unspeakable in the days ahead.

Humbly Yours,

Neonila

Employee monitoring

While I was working at the Bureau of Immigration years ago, I learned that the best way to clean up the corrupt practices of every employee is to monitor their daily office activities. That includes the time spent using the computers and the Internet. I learned that the IT department has set up tracking systems in each computer and that hidden cameras were also set up in every spot possible to monitor each department. And soon enough, all that bore fruit and the corrupt officials and employees were one by one found out and charged accordingly. With the new commissioners however, I wonder if they have continued said monitoring. Perhaps they have installed newer and more advanced systems. Which reminds me, I have found this really good employee and student monitoring that could work perfectly well even in the home. It allows for checks and monitoring of computer activities that will soon help bring about more work done than time wasted on other unnecessary computer activities not related to the job..(Like playing farmtown in facebook instead of doing what the boss tell you to do-- hahaha..) Anyway, if I were the owner of the company, I would really install the  Employee monitoring tutorial to help me learn how to completely go about with employee monitoring.But you know, ActivTrak can also be used in the house, especially if you are a parent of relentless teenagers.. If you wish to know more about this, go to www.activtrak.com.

YAKON

I was able to buy a kilo of this YAKON at the Salo Tabo at the Capitol grounds a week ago. This fruit is grown under the ground and is known for its many health benefits.. We have been eating this fruit since it was introduced by one of the BAEs or the Lady Chieftain in one of the tribal groups in the region. My mom works at the NCIP and is also a part of the many indigenous peoples of the country. My mom, my sisters and I are proud descendants of the Manobo tribe from Agusan del Norte.. It's knowing your roots that you get the advantage of knowing healthy and nutritious  foodies that only grows in the hinterlands..

Look at the fruit when peeled.. It's oh so YUMMY! And healthy too!

LOVE THESE WATCHES

My sister Sweet and I had a date yesterday. We were looking for the best 60th birthday gift for our father at Limketkai Mall. Then, while we were eating at Greenwich, we saw this guy wearing a Patek Philippe watch. That gave us the idea of what to buy.. So after we finished our meat and cheese overload pizza and the pitcher of four seasons, we headed towards the watch area to find the best watch for our father.. Unfortunately for us, we could not decide right then and there.. Plus, it came to a point that when we looked at our watches, it was time to fetch Lili and River from Lifetime Study Center, as they end classes at 4:30 pm.. 

When I arrived home later in the evening, I couldn't help but look into watches again, and the very watch that inspired us, I found online too. I found Patek Philippe at www.finestwatches.com and boy, I can't help but be amazed at how good all the watches look. The same kind of feeling we felt earlier in the afternoon.. AH! How can you decide to choose only one when you have every good design in front of you?

MARANG IS IN SEASON

I was able to buy this huge Marang for only P 20.00 today. Had this for lunch.. OMG! It's oh so good!

BUYING FROM A GERMAN ONLINE SHOE SHOP..

Wanna buy shoes online? If it's Schuhe you are looking for, there's this wonderful site for all those deliriously delicious shoes. It's kinda like your German shoe shop online.. They have everything to your heart's content, including those sexy black Stiefel and the trendy and stylish Damenschuhe.. Ahh.. What a sight to behold. They have all top brands like Converse , Timberland ,Chucks and many more... I love shoes and theirs is what any shoe addict can call a shoe heaven, lol..

Browsing through the site is not at all difficult. Although I could not understand the words as they are in German, my translator has provided me the best help to decipher every word. So that explains the words used here, hahaha.. The site may be intended for German audience but because the shoes totally rock, I can't help but browse some more and more.. Funny, I could almost see myself drool over the beautiful creations on display.. I have not seen some of the designs featured in the site. Ahh.. makes my mouth water.. I am totally a shoe addict. Imagine? I could hardly understand the site, yet I stayed on to see more and more designs. As if I can go ahead and pick them up, pay for them and have them wrapped to be given to my own self as a gift for being a good girl.. Hmm.. Which reminds me.. Christmas is just around the corner..  I would be glad to accept any shoe style so long as it is size 10 wrapped in a box with a gold Christmas ribbon, lol.. I am not demanding okay.. Just reminding how it should be wrapped.. Whether it's from Santa or someone else, a big Christmas kiss awaits.. hahaha

Can you ever believe that? Whew.. shoes...shoes..shoes.. or should I say, Schuhe.. Schuhe.. Schuhe.. They're not bad for Christmas presents.. In fact, I am getting my family a new pair each.. Waahhh.. I wonder how my savings will fare by December... Hmm..

Watching [Les Miserables] 10th anniversary on You Tube.. (and crying)

Below are just a few scenes that I love about Les Miserables.. My sister Honey and I have grown to love this Broadway hit, not only because of our background in theater and at some point in our theater lives we were able to  do a scene or so.. but mostly because this tragic story almost all people can relate, and we are a sucker for tragedies.. Oh Shakespeare, what have you done to us? lol..

Anyway, I could always relate to Eponine.. I think her story is the most tragic.. Imagine, the happiest day of her life was when she was about to die..All because she is dying in the arms of the only man she has ever loved..

Cosette's Life is not that bad... Although, it started out as bad..








Fantine, Cossette's mom, lived a life that  was as sad as that of Eponine's, lived and died a tragic death..







And Marius...





Valjean's life story, although tragic, turned out good in the end..

So there.. Shared with you guys a few videos.. If you want a complete play list, subscribe to this account in you tube..

wanna meet with a biker?

Here's an interesting site that I have just visited. I am sharing it here because I had fun going through the Biker Personals that Google accidentally showed me. I am not a biker but I have three male friends who are bikers and they are quite loveless these days..

In my aim to help my three musketeers, I have signed up to check out the site. And what better way indeed, if your passion is biking, to sign up for free to this very unique and friendly site. At least, if you are finding your way to love or finding your way back to love, and you know you can't live without this passion, might as well find someone who shares this with you.

I checked out the photos and OMG! the people who have signed up in this site are super! Hmm.. Now, I am beginning to wonder.. Maybe Google is now showing a different course for me, hahaha.. Maybe a biker is what I need, lol.. 

Kidding aside, Ben, Jerry and Russ will surely like this site. My biker friends would surely find love here.. I can't wait to tell them tomorrow.. If you are interested also, visit www.bikerpersonals.org and sign up.. Who knows, love is simply there waiting to happen, with just simply clicks.. 

Well, goodluck...

FROM MY KITCHEN: HOME MADE GULAMAN

I love the taste of homemade Gulaman

SAY GOODBYE IN STYLE..

Valedictions need not be boring and repetitive.. In plurkland, I always end or close my plurk day with "DEPLURKING"..  I like it because it is quite unique... But you can not use it in letters and all other stuff.. Here is something I stumbled into while googling a few information about something.. It's entitled, 233 Ways to Say Goodbye.. If you are interested, click here.. I had fun browsing through this e-book--- 

And if you like it like I did, leave a message for the authors here... or leave a comment at their website..
