My friend Bamm is a converted Dell user. That is, he used to be a huge fan of ASUS. Anyhow, he’s planning to upgrade his laptop by buying Dell Memory and a high-capacity hard disk this weekend and me being computer literate, he’s asking me to accompany him.
I’m not that familiar with Dell products though so I did some research. I’m still quite confused about how to best upgrade his laptop. Is there anyone who can help me with it? Your comment will be highly appreciated.

My dad is currently 62 years old. We’ve been planning to get him a life insurance but given his condition of having undergone a bypass operation five years ago plus his current age, it’s been tough finding a life insurance for him.
Then I encountered a life insurance no medical online. I was flabbergasted. What company would allow insurance with no medical exam, no waiting period, and a full coverage on the first day of payment? I decided to read more on their website, and I guess it really is possible. I still have to consult this with my brother first because he’s the one paying. In any case, I think this is the best we could come up with for my dad.

I have been having terrible eyestrain with pulsating and recurring shots of pain in the back of my head in between my left ear and temple. My doctor advised me to spend several days off my computer and perhaps visit Cape Town or some place for more laid-back atmosphere.
I was stunned. Cape Town? Isn’t it in South Africa? Anyhow, I wasn’t aware I voiced my thought out loud until my doctor chuckled and said that I’d be surprised to find out that Cape Town actually hosts some of the best natural beaches in the world. It would be good for me, he furthered.
Beach… Best beaches… now those are the phrases that could easily coerce me to jump at the opportunity to visit a particular place – let alone Cape Town. With my doctor’s recommendation, I’m sure I can easily file for my leave off work and relax my strained eyes, at the same time see for myself how great those natural beaches are. *cross fingers*

I recently had dinner with a childhood friend. While eating, I noticed that the color of his left hand is way lighter than his right hand. I voiced out my thoughts and he answered, “I play golf in a nearby golf club.”
Now why didn’t I think of that? Anyway, he was not the sporty type when we were kids, so I was surprised about that information. Curious, I prodded more about his new recreation, and soon, we were scheduling my first golf lesson. He told me he’ll lend me some of his golf equipment while taking the lessons until I decide whether or not I’ll include playing golf in my weekly routine. I can’t wait for my first golf lesson.

Who doesn’t want to look good? To look trim and healthy inside and outside? Today, there are hundreds of weight loss products online. However, before you order food supplements, it is necessary to be well informed on the true effects of the products, so as not to endanger your health.
It is through the Diet Awareness Institute that I was able to shop for food supplements that helped control my weight. The site has diet supplements reviews and comparisons, that made me choose Miracle Burn. Miracle Burn is a great diet pill that boosts metabolism, increases energy levels and burns fat more quickly. More so, it has no caffeine. No wonder whenever I meet friends, they say, “You look good”.

Human resource is a company’s greatest asset. However, one of the biggest problems in a company is miscommunication between its employees and employers, and even among employees. At times, having an HR department is not enough. This is where having an intranet software becomes handy.
Companies like Epazz provide unique BoxesOS applications that create virtual communities for enhanced communication within a particular company. What I really like best about it is that their applications offer a secure online workspace for users to hold online discussions with other users be they in the next cubicle or in another country.
Should you be interested, Epazz offers a 30-day free trial of their software. All you have to do is contact them to have it setup. Hope this helps improve the work flow of communication in your company!

Since my uncle offered free use of his Orlando vacation home early this year, my cousins and I have been saving up for a “Theme Parks” trip to Florida. Of course, our target dates are sometime this December. You see, although Florida’s theme parks are enchanting throughout the year, the overlay of holiday cheer triples the magic and fun during this Christmas season.
Here’s a list of Theme Parks we have in our itinerary:
- Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens
- DisneyQuest® Indoor Interactive Theme Park
- Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
- Fantasy of Flight
- Magic Kingdom® Park
Hope to see y’all there!

“One of the best tips when traveling is ensuring that your trip coincides with a great event on your target destination,” this was the advice I gave to Tina before she went to Auckland, in New Zealand this October for her month-long getaway.
Heeding my advice, she lined up her destinations according to her researched and handpicked Auckland October events:
- New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Concerts (Sept. 3 - Oct. 7)
- Garden Art Exhibition at Eden Garden (Oct. 20 – Nov. 3)
- WE WILL ROCK YOU - The Musical by Queen and Ben Elton (Oct. 26 – Dec. 3)
- Tempo˚ - NZ’s Festival of Dance (New Zealand’s biggest dance festival held from Sept. 29 – Oct. 28)
- The adidas Auckland Marathon (Oct. 28)
This is what you call, making the most out of your trip! Cool, huh? She just called and informed me that she already bought a ticket for the “We Will Rock You” musical tomorrow. Wish I could join her there.
Anyhow, Tina’s currently staying in one of the Hotels in Auckland and shared that although Auckland Hotels are wonderful, I ought to avail of a different Auckland Accommodation should I decide to visit the place – one that is easily accessible and near the major attractions of the city. I’ll definitely heed her advice on this one.

This November, instead of going to my dad’s province, my parents decided to book their flights in Qantas, one of the world’s oldest airlines, to visit their old friends in Perth, Australia. The last time they saw each other was in a couples’ week 11 years ago.
My dad was surprised with the cheap flights, and was so happy that he decided to hold draw lots among us and whoever gets the lowest number gets to join them in their trip to Australia. I was not able to get the lowest number though. Oh well, I’ll just secure my next holiday by availing of Qantas special prices on flights next year.
