Yup… you heard me right! Online Sellers! After entrepreneurs invaded multiply, now they are slowly invading Facebook. Not that I am complaining because I love buying thing through Facebook but what I hate is that when people tag me to their items.

Example, if an online shop has hoodies for sale, they will tag me on that photo. I don’t mind being sold to but I don’t want to be tagged. I want to be tagged with pictures of me and my children but not with products being sold online! It annoys me big time!

One of our desktop computers has retired. I don’t know what the problem is since we already bought a new hard disk drive for it. The only problem that I am aware was when we setup the new hard disk drive with the new operation system; I forgot to install other software programs to protect it such as PC Tools and antivirus.

Could it be that the problem was software related or hardware related? Could it be our PC retired because it is already four (4) years old? I am not really sure as of now.

Anyway, since I don’t have money, I could not bring my PC to the computer shop for check-up. I need to wait for at least a week and a half before I could have the PC checked. But since I have other priorities, I might not able to have it done just yet… maybe for another 4 weeks? Waaahhh!!!

Although I don’t have any qualms about buying them one, I realized that a portable Play Station would only give joy to my children one at a time. They wouldn’t be able to play or enjoy it together, not unless each of them has their own device. Buying for them separately would be impractical.

So I figured, why not save up to buy a wii instead? It’s more expensive than a PSP, I know that for a fact. However, I also know that with that gaming console, the whole family can have fun all at the same time. No need to wait for one’s turn because the whole family can play together.

Besides, I think we can do a lot more with a wii than with a PSP. Thus, it’s more cost efficient. What about you? If you were to choose or give me a suggestion, would it be a wii or a PSP?

After a couple of years, those 8-inch disks gave way to 3½-inch diskettes which even appeared in various colors. If you had too many files to save, 1 diskette was not enough to save everything.

But now, all thanks to the advancements in technology, large amounts of data can be saved using a powerful little stick. Indeed, usb drives have done a lot to redefine data storage. Imagine something so small but able to save thousands of times more capacity that old school floppy disks. Aside from being able to store more, these flash disks can even transfer large amounts of data faster.

Because flash drives are encased in hard plastic with only a small portion of it inserted in a USB port, the encasement can be printed and enhanced to look attractive. It’s no wonder people today are all too reliant on those powerful little sticks.

It is very beneficial for bloggers to submit their sites to web directories because there they get listed online and have back links. That will give their sites or blogs the much needed boost in traffic and of course in page ranking.

Sometimes there are paid directories but there are also free web directory submission available. I really take advantage of them because their service is free and I get all the benefits of getting listed in a web directory. I have so many blogs and I need them to be popular always and the web directories really help my blogs. With free directories, however, you may sometimes need to install their codes in your site. I think that is just fair considering that they offer their linking for free. That is a small price to pay and requires very minimal effort.

In fact, even though my children and my husband don’t like the game, I have activated it at their accounts so that I could have neighbors and get the gifts that I want.

As of now, I am already Level 39 at my business Facebook account and Level 15 at my personal Facebook account. By the way, here is a snap shot of my trailer homes. Aren’t they cute?

My Town

By the way, a trailer home is sometimes called a motorhome. They are mobile like RVs.

These online learning programs are accredited by educational authorities and even by employers.

Example, if you don’t have time to attend a classroom setup, you can continue studying online in the comfort of your own home! If you’re a nurse, you can be study from RN to BSN online without ruining your working schedule. Isn’t that great?

Anyway, if you’re interested to learn more, visit www.wgu.edu anytime!

I have played many restaurant and hotel management games but none of them have kitchen sinks involved. All are tables, stoves, counters, decorations and others but no kitchen sink. But Restaurant City has bathroom sinks for washing the customerג€™s hands but still no kitchen sinks. Now, it makes me wonder how they clean their plates. LOL!!

Oh well, I guess the curious cat in me is just being curious on non-sense things. LMAO!

Taking care of the baby has kept me away from my blogs and blog hosting services. Since she is still adjusting, she is always awake during the wee hours of dawn and doesn’t want to be put down but always be held.

Anyway, I really wanted to earn as much as I can since we also needed money to keep the ball rolling but sadly I can’t do all what I have done before because I am too occupied right now. How I wish to be like those bloggers who knows how to optimize their blogs and even offer their best SEO services to others. They say that when your blog is optimized, you can just sleep and earn. How I wish I can be like that, don’t you too?
