Suspend-It

I recently had a meeting with my sister’s boss who owns several companies like a catalog printing company and an online gaming company. They recently branched out in our area and are looking for someone who can help them execute their plans. Her boss has been having a hard time finding a competent person who actually understands internet marketing.

My sister remembered that I’m looking for other opportunities for career growth and recommended me to her boss. Apparently, I fit the position perfectly – if I pass the “Why are you worth my time and money?” essay for her boss, that is. I had a chance to talk with her boss and found that he’s a brilliant internet marketer. Someone I’d really love to learn from.

Anyway, I still need to weigh things though - if the job offer is worth quitting my current, already secured job. We’ll see…

I was talking with a colleague earlier about renovating her home. She was able to buy a studio type apartment and now she wants redesigned. I suggested several good designs that I found on the internet and she liked the contemporary design that I suggested - a style with wall sconce and paintings on the wall. The lighting is warm on the eyes and the furnishing looks cozy.

She told me she wants to feel like in grandma’s house whenever she is in her apartment (I was supposed to react to that but hehe). Personally, I like a modern approach in my apartment although a cozy warm theme surely is soothing. But heck, it’s her house anyway. Anyhow, I’ll also help her do the shopping on the weekend to get the stuff for the house makeover.

I received an email from Larry, a friend of mine, inviting me to go to Dallas on the weekend. He and his sister Carol are very much into boxing. They were very excited when they heard that there will be a boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Clottey. Both are famous boxers I think.While I am not very into that kind of sport, I do enjoy Larry and Carol’s company. They used to work in my company but found good offers from Houston job search. They decided to work in Texas because it is their hometown and it is much comfortable for them. I have until this afternoon to decide if I’ll go there but since I will be very busy on Saturday, I don’t think I’l be able to come. Anyhow, I know they’ll understand. They know how hectic work in our company is.

My brother and his girlfriend, for some reason, have been on this very strict diet which involves just vegetables and several flavored weight loss drinks. It’s been ongoing for two weeks now; a breakthrough I must say, since my brother has been on a seafood diet for the longest time now – when he “see – food” he eats it. Hehehe.

Anyway, we’re really curious on what triggered this monumental phase but they just won’t tell us. We’re all betting anyway on how long my brother will last on this new healthy diet. I bet maximum one month. What about you?

My friend Angela and I recently went to a heavenly water spa. Of course, we had to wear swimsuits for that. While changing into our swimsuits, Angela and I got into talking about our health – skin care in particular.

Apparently, she’s been very conscious about her skin folds in between her thighs and groin area. It’s more dark than usual. I told her that according to my cousin, the most common cause for that is wearing of very tight breeches or skinny jeans and garterized underwear. This is because those produce friction in that area when you walk, which in turn causes skin darkening in that area.

Angela did acknowledge that she’s been wearing more skinny jeans than skirt nowadays. Consequently, she vowed to wear skirt more often instead.

I just found out that the highest position and salary level I can attain in my company is my current one. Consequently, I have decided that it’s high time for me to invest in another level-up for better career opportunity.

Unfortunately, for those with busy schedule or are currently employed, it’s really quite hard to find time to level-up and upgrade yourself; which is why I’m very happy there’s such a thing as online bachelor degree and short training courses which makes leveling up possible. The only problem is, I’m not quite sure which area or skills I should be enhancing.

Thanks to the two-day internet marketing event I attended last March 4-5, I met high-profile internet marketers which are willing to train fellow SEM enthusiasts for a discounted price! I unhesitatingly enrolled myself in three short online trainings to level up and increase my market value (and find a more appropriate company for my skills and talents).

Can’t wait to start upgrading with the trainings!

I was looking for a gift for my friend Jehan’s 26th birthday this February. I saw some interesting accessories with diamonds that fits her personality perfectly. Unfortunately, Jehan lives in Canada and that means I will be shipping my present to her.

Although I trust shipping companies, I don’t trust them enough to actually be able to deliver my gift with diamonds. Consequently, I think I’ll just buy her another present. I’m still hunting for one though. I did buy an accessory with diamonds for her. But I’ll be giving it to her when she comes to visit us – hopefully by April.

My cousin had always been a fan of motorcycles. He collected them when he had the money, and just cleaned them when he’s free from work.

But he encountered an accident yesterday. The truck just came flying out of nowhere, literally.

We looked for a motorcycle accident attorney as we ran while rushing him to the ER, and we had a hard time looking for one, they didn’t want to take the case.

As he was getting treated, it actually made me realize how much danger we’re putting ourselves in everytime we ride a vehicle. It’s like our lives are at stake.

So be careful with your driving, and be a defensive driver if you don’t want to end up like my cousin.

We’ve been having trouble with the printer and scanner in the office for the past few days. Paper jams, ink refill… you name it. The only problem is we’re having a hard time pinpointing who is responsible for the printer and scanner mishaps since they’re both shared by everyone.

With the monthly report due next week, everyone’s being stressed out with this simple printing and scanning. Frankly, the best solution to all of this is for the company to provide one printer and scanner for each department, have them sign an accountability form, and perhaps get a document scanning software to make everything easier and more organized. What do you think?

Pop-ups are certainly annoying but sometimes I kinda miss them. Since the pop-up blocker was invented, pop-up ads became a thing of the past. It’s like watching NFL without the commercial - boring. So for earlier I turned off my pop-up blocker and freely surfed the net hoping to find some interesting ads.It seems like there’s not much changed with the pop-ups. They are still mostly about online casinos, diet pills, and porn sites. But there is this one ad that caught my attention: natural testosterone From wikipedia,

“Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. In mammals, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females, although small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sexhormone and an anabolic steroid. Testosterone is evolutionarily conserved through most vertebrates, although fish make a slightly different form called 11-ketotestosterone.”

Come to think of it… if testosterone comes from male organs naturally, where does that “natural testosterone” pill extracted from? Also, what if women took those pills? heheAnyhow, I think I’ll reactivate my  pop-up blocker right now because I think I have seen enough porn ads now. But I admit, ads really are fun to read especially when you’re not in the mood to work.
