I got the chance to watch another ballet show at the CCP last weekend. A friend of mine invited me to accompany her right after a mall show she did and boy, the traffic on the way there was awful. Everyone seems to be out Christmas shopping and what would normally take an hour to CCP took 30 minutes or so longer. It was still horrible on the way home even though it was already almost 11:00 pm. Too many people were out shooooooopping. Aren’t you glad there is online shopping? No traffic and no long checkout lines.

If you haven’t finished your Christmas list yet then why not check out some Holiday Glass Frames from Zenni Optical, The popular online eyeglasses shop.  They have a wide array of holiday frames available. I kinda like this one - of course it’s pink. What’s not to like? LOL

And yup, they still have those $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses you can give as gifts to as many  friends and loved ones you want because they are so affordable. They make great stocking stuffers, don’t you think? What’s more, you don’t have to brave the traffic and the long lines anymore. You can do it right in your own home, even in your jammies. Just make sure you get each of their prescriptions right  and don’t mix them up or else they might end up seeing double. Happy shopping everyone!

Hubby is considering a business concept that’s been on his mind for quite a while. We’ve discussed it quite a bit and one of the things that we think we need to do if it materializes is to start smart with how we build and online store is the way to go. For that we need a reliable e-commerce software that will adapt to the business as it grows. Of course, it has to be affordable, SEO optimized and with excellent customer support. I’ve been looking at a few providers of shopping cart software like Ashopcommerce.com and so far it looks promising. I think hubby and I can discuss it in more detail when we brainstorm again.  If  that’s where you want to go too, you can check it out as well.

Well, for me it’s not your usual broadband because we have cable internet! We started out with the dial-up but of course, that was sooooo slow. Later on, we subscribed to this not-so-Smart wifi package but ended up disconnected most of the time. Then our cable TV provider offered a cable internet package which is so far the best deal that we’ve ever had. I don’t know what fiber cable of sorts they use, but so far, going online has never been a problem for us. It’s fast and furious and customer service is great. This is one happy web surfer chick, I’ll say. :)

My internet connection went wonky for the last couple of days and I thought I had to bring this old ‘puter to the shop. I’m so glad that the cable guys came this morning to fix it.  So this is a test post. I’ll wait and see for now if I don’t go off the air again. Later!

Literally true! Advertising and media will never be the same because of the internet. The internet has opened up financial opportunities to anyone who has access to it and who is willing to invest a few hours in it. All you need is a computer and the internet and it becomes anybody’s ballgame. You do not even have to own a computer to get into the game. A few hours hitting that keyboard in an internet cafe could become money right at your fingertips.

There are many opportunities to earn online and one of them is through paid blogging. Some have taken to it like fish to water and jumped right into it, filling their blogs with ads. Some are actually tasteful, some scream like a marketplace. There are also others who are skeptical and choose to be purists preferring not to “pollute” their blogs with sponsored posts. I believe that there is a middle ground to all this where you still have the freedom to express your thoughts and still receive compensation for your opinion without sacrificing your integrity.

I recently joined Pay Per Post and I am going to give it a try. I’ve been hearing about it from online friends who have been doing it for quite a while now but it was only recently that I decided to take the Paid Post Plunge. I’ll soon find out whether it’s going to work out for me or not. Good business sense tells us to take advantage of open doors and opportunities. A good moral compass, however, will guide us in choosing which door to go through and which opportunity to take.

Happy blogging!

You Should Be a Dancer

You have a unique combination of grace and athleticism..Whether you become a salsa dancer or a ballerina, you need to get dancing!

What Sort of Artist Should You Be?

I took this test and I was quite surprised that it did match my “secret” ambitions. I did do a little bit of dancing in my lifetime at least once on the sacred stage of the Main Theatre of the CCP.  I love ballet just as much as I love scrapbooking, but alas, now I just do most of my dancing in the dark.  :)
