It has been three months when i got hired to this company that I am currently working with. Just like my previous job, it is indeed another call center industry and as a matter of fact I almost got used to it since i have been into different call centers in the past 2 years. Being in this kind of industry has never been new to me. It is quite stressing knowing that most of our shifts are in graveyard but we have to bear with it since most of our clients are from abroad and we have to serve and assist them no matter what. In addition to that stressing graveyard shifts, we also have to face all the irate callers and try to solve their concern. Unfortunately, i was assigned in the technical department which is way far more difficult than customer service support.
Anyway, right now, I am currently adjusting with my new schedule and I and really grateful enough that they put me and my collegues in a Day Shift for the whole month of December though the stations that were assigned to us wasn't really satisfying than our previous working area. The cubicles here are quite smaller and I can't even put all my things on my desk. We do not have our own stations at the moment since we are just in the probationary stage and we are not regular employees yet. I have no reason to complain but it's just that, it is quite unfair for us to be assigned in such uncomfortable cubicles. For me, it is very important that you are working in a nice environment because that might be a key towards great productivity. How can we perform effectively on our work if we keep on seeing those messy and uncomfortable working place? How can we give our best if we keep on experiencing the worst?
I think they should renovate the production floor and make it a little wider for each call center agents. At the same time, they should also change the wall paint and make it more livelier. Honestly, if i can only join the Pimp My Cube Contest , then i will give no hesitation and try my best to create a video showing how messy and crappy our cubicles are. Pimp My Cube , as what the title suggests, aims to search for the worst, most pathetic and messy cubicle or office that may have bad furniture, old technology, messy, unorganized, noisy, dirty, dark and/or any other attributes and provide and extreme make-over to give a brand new and more satisfying working area.

I am so grateful to received a call from the company that I am currently applying for. The agent told me that I was able to pass my Final interview which was held last Friday. This is definitely a good start for me as I am trying to enter a new career. As we all know, it's pretty hard to get a job nowadays and the increasing rate of unemployment here and abroad is quite alarming. With this time of crisis, we really have to be very wise most especially with our expenses. You might want to set aside those personal leisure of yours and save your money for your future needs. Buy only the things that you need. Just like in getting a phone plan for example, most of us are so crazy to acquire a post paid plan without realizing how much money we're wasting. Again, as I've said, you have to be WISE so why do you have to be in a postpaid plan and deal with their surprising and unreasonable bills if you can have all the services and features you need in a Prepaid plan.
Why should you waste your money and chained yourself with their contact if you can have Straight Talk amazing and affordable plans right? I really love the idea that Straight Talk can make you feel richer because they can definitely cut your cell phone bills into half. Keep in mind that aside from your phone bills, you also have to take care of the other bills you have at home including the electric bill, water, aircon, Internet and more. Switching to a prepaid plan is absolutely a great help for someone who's budget is quite limited.
Imagine the amount of money you could save switching to Straight Talk. You can save it for your future needs or you can also treat yourself by buying something you desire like a gadget or accessory maybe.
Again, There are no contracts, no surprise bills and no credit checks involved here so there's no reason for you to worry and to think of those monthly phone bills. Straight Talk offers great nationwide coverage and excellent reception/connectivity. They also uses trusted phone manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung.
You can have The power of Android phones with all the apps and games that you need using this very smart plan from Straight Talk. You can Have their unlimited service for as low as $45/month. Now who would have thought that someone can Feel Richer with Android!
They also have the "All You Need Plan" which has 1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts and 30 MB of web data. You can Feel Richer with Android indeed because if you're going to pay their Unlimited plan for the whole year , it will just cost you $499.00 in which you can save up to 40$.
They Also offer International Long Distance Service with low rates.
You can check this video for more info about Straight Talk.
They said that the best way to stay out of the blues is to get socialized. I'm not sure if all of you will agree but I am highly in favor with the socialized thing here. Socializing means getting friends and getting along with people that you love and people that you like.
Wow! I remember having this phone a long long time ago. I can't remember the model now but as far as I know it is Nokia 3310 (correct me if I'm wrong). Can you imagine that? Time really run out so fast and it seems that it was just yesterday when everyone is so crazy with this one and now the market is flooded with high tech and innovative phones from different well known manufacturers. It seems that every week, a new model will be launched, showcasing new features for their users. There's just too many things that we can do now with our phones aside from the text and call features. Now we have cameras, radio, dual sim, tv, mobile internet, touch screen and more. We have so much things to expect more this coming years and isn't so exciting?

It's really hard to budget your money nowadays, whether you are receiving an average monthly salary or you are working under a highly compensated company. With the uncontrollable price hike from different products such as oil, gas, goods and more, can you tell me now how far your $50 can go? How much can you spend with your 50 bucks? Kindly recall your monthly expenses before and compare it with your expenses today? See the difference?
What I'm trying to pin point here is that, prices are somehow uncontrollable and we just can do nothing to change it, they will get higher and higher as time passes by and the best way to deal with it is to learn how to handle your budget wisely and effectively. Keep in mind that you also have monthly bills to take care of. As a matter of fact, most of these bills tend to ruin our monthly budget especially those unexpected ones. And if your budget went short, chances are, you will borrow money from your friends or you will apply for a loan which is not really an ideal thing because you're putting yourself into so much responsibilities that are so difficult to handle. You should learn how to budget your money and as much as possible purchase only the goods or services that you need, and those that will suit your budget well.
In choosing your Phone plan for example. Will you go for a postpaid even if you do not use your phone much often? Personally, i would really go for a prepaid not just because i seldom use my phone but also I know that i can really save a lot from it. Definitely, this is something that we should all look for, a very affordable plan with some cool deals and features to offer. And when it comes to great deals, Net10 is probably one of the best.
First of all, there are no contracts here so you do not have to worry about those surprising and jaw-dropping bills. Net10 only uses trusted phone manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung so that's really something to look forward to.
It has many features too including the great nationwide coverage and excellent reception/connectivity , International long distance call service available for over 75 countries and more. I was browsing the net when i found this video testimonial from Sharon, a Real NET10 customer.
Very inspiring right? I know most of you can relate with her and I know that most of you will feel the same way. Net10 offers an Net10 Unlimited plan for as low as $50. (Now who will say that your $50 can go nowhere? With NET10 affordable plan, it is possible)
Aside from their Unlimited Plan, they also have the Easy Minutes Plus plan is an automatic minutes plan that starts at $15.00 for 200 minutes. Their Pay-As-You-Go Plan on the other hand, your minutes carry over with active service.
For more information about their service, you can also check their Cute NET10 commercial, it's funny yet very informative ads that will tell you everything you need to know about NET10. Watch the video.
Well, i guess that's right enough reasons to make you switch to NET10 but here's another 10 Good Reasons provided by Rob, let see What Rob has to say with NET10
For more updates, you can check NET10 on their official Facebook and Twitter page.
Now , can you tell me, how far your $50 can go? It really depends on how much you handle your money wisely and effectively.
I am really meticulous especially when it comes to our bathroom or kitchen. I really want a well maintained kitchen or bathroom as much as possible. No it's not a matter of being so ambitious, it's just that I feel more comfortable when my bathroom is clean and I'm sure most of you guys feel the same way. It doesn't matter how big or small a bathroom room, as long as it's clean and as long as there's no any plumbing problems.

Being a breadwinner has never been an easy task. There are so many things that i really have to prioritize and obligations that i have to fulfill. My dad got stroke way back 2001 which paralyzed almost half of his body which made him unable to work, and being the eldest, i have no choice but to take all his responsibilities. It's quite hard because i have to sacrifice but it's fun and rewarding experience at the same time.
Through my experiences, i learned how to spend my money wisely to avoid myself from any financial problems and that is something that i am really proud of. Mom thought me everything and she taught me how to become responsible as well. My mom knows best indeed, she even recommend me to use Straight Talk as my main phone provider.
I really want to consider switching to Straight Talk because i find their service pretty impressive. I think it suits my budget well, knowing that it can cut my cell phone bill in half. What makes them more interesting is their "No Contract" plans in which you can get unlimited services (text and call) for as low as $45 a month. Their “All You Need Plan” on the other hand can be availed for as low as $30 a month to receive 1000 minutes, 1000 text or multimedia messages, 30 MB of data transfer for data phones and 411 calls at no additional charge. That's exactly an ideal plan for everyone especially for someone like me. Pretty impressive indeed because you can have everything you need without worrying or stressing yourself with those contracts.
And imagine how much you can save from it and how it can help you with your daily expenses. You can check this video testimonial from Scott and see how much he can save monthly after choosing Straight Talk.
Aside from their amazing monthly plans, Straight Talk also offers International Long Distance Call Services too. It is a flexible prepaid calling service that enables you to make international calls from your home, cell or office phone at low rates. Now, I can call a friend abroad without worrying about those surprising phone bills.
They also have amazing phone selections from well trusted phone manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung. If you want to know more about their phone offers, better check this video.
I think these are right enough reasons to switch to Straight Talk and knowing that you can have everything you need with Straight Talk, i can can confidently say that this could be the best and probably the most practical choice i could ever have! Cheers!~

The Butter Battle Book is a rhyming story written by Dr. Seuss. It was published by Random House Books for Young Readers on January 12, 1984. It is an anti-war story; specifically, a parable about arms races in general and mutually assured destruction and nuclear weapons in particular. The Butter Battle Book was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
This book was written during the Cold War era, and reflects the concerns of the time, especially the perceived possibility that all life on earth could be destroyed in a nuclear war. It can also be seen as a satirical work, with its depiction of a deadly war based on a senseless conflict over something as trivial as a breakfast food. The concept of a war based on toast is similar to the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which was nominally based on the correct end to crack an egg once soft boiled.

There's a Wocket in My Pocket is a short children's book by Dr. Seuss. It features a little boy talking about what strange creatures live in his house, such as the yeps on the steps, the nooth grush on his toothbrush, the yottle in the bottle and Nureau in the bureau.
The original story was published in 1974. A 1996 republish has been edited to remove some of the scarier creatures, including the vug under the rug and the Red under the bed.

Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! is a children's book by Dr. Seuss. Written as a book for early beginning readers, it is suitable for children who can not yet read at the level of more advanced beginning books such as The Cat in the Hat. The book presents in short and funny fashion, Dr. Seuss's nonsensical words, rhymes, and illustrations. The gist of the book is that Marvin K. Mooney -- ostensibly a young child whose bedtime has come -- is asked to Go in many ways.
However, two years later, when Seuss was challenged by political columnist Art Buchwald for never having written a political book, Seuss took a copy of the book and crossed out "Marvin K. Mooney" and wrote in "Richard M. Nixon." Buchwald was so delighted that with Seuss's consent he printed the text as his column for July 30, 1974. Nixon resigned ten days later on August 9th.
The Lorax is a children's book, written by Dr. Seuss and first published in 1971. It chronicles the plight of the environment and the Lorax, who speaks for the trees against the greedy Once-ler. As in most Dr. Seuss works, most of the creatures mentioned are original to the book. The book is commonly recognized as a fable concerning industrialized society and the danger it poses to nature, using the literary element of personification to give life to industry as the Once-ler (whose face is never shown in any of the story's illustrations or in the television special) and to the environment as the Lorax. A boy (representing the reader) comes to a desolate corner of town to visit a being called the Once-ler (who is never shown throughout the book except for his arms and hands) and learns about the Lorax. After the Once-ler receives payment from the boy (consisting of 15 cents, a nail, and the shell of a great, great, great grandfather snail) he recounts on how he first arrived where they now stand, back then a beautiful forest of Truffula Trees, colorful woolly trees that were spread throughout the area and supported an ecosystem of fantastical creatures.

You want every one of your days to mean something. You don't waste your energy on things that don't matter. |
See this messy wiring? Yeah, that picture was taken few months ago when our house was undergoing major renovation. This settings took my attention that's why I grabbed a shot of it. We're happy with the result of the renovation but I'll take this one as an exception. I'm sure it's not part of their so called "SOP" or Standard Operating Procedure. This is definitely a Big No No us obviously because it can be very dangerous not just for the workers but also for us most especially for my little brother. Well, I know this is not a part of their job and we should let the Electricians to fix it but that doesn't mean they have to ignore these wiring and leave them as messy as this. My mom told them immediately about this and in fairness to them, they fix it immediately. They had to finish the entire renovation first before we contacted the Electrician. Anyway, we're very lucky to found an honest and competent Electrician and he did his job satisfactorily and we might consider hiring him again in case we need his service.
By the way, if you guys are looking for an expert Portland Electrician in Oregon, you can visit http://www.oakleyelec.com/and see how you can avail their service.
Do we really need an expert Locksmith service? What is it for? Is it really necessary to hire one?
I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today! and Other Stories
is a children's story book written by Dr. Seuss and first published in 1969. The title story concerns a boy who brags that he can fight 30 tigers and win. He makes excuse after excuse, finally disqualifying all the tigers until he must fight no tigers at all. The illustrations are notable for their use of gauche and brush strokes rather than the usual pen and ink. Others stories include "King Looie Katz", another warning against hierarchical society advocating self-reliance, and "The Glunk That Got Thunk" about the power of run-away imagination. Illustrations for "The Glunk That Got Thunk" make great use of wavy line crosshatching.

I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew is a 1965 children's book by Dr. Seuss. The story features classic Seuss rhymes and drawings in his distinctive pen and ink style.
Solla Sollew is an Odyssey-tale told in the first person by a young narrator who experiences troubles in his life (mostly aggressive small animals which bite and sting) and wishes to escape them. He sets out for the mythical city of the title ("where they never have troubles / at least very few") and learns that he must face his problems instead of running away from them. He then goes back home to deal with his "troubles," arming himself with a big bat and resolving that "Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!" The journey includes several fantastic encounters, some with mild political implications. In one instance, the protagonist is forced to haul a wagon for a bossy companion. ("'This is called teamwork. I furnish the brains. You furnish the muscles, the aches and the pains.'") In another scene, he is drafted into the army under the command of the fearsome General Genghis Khan Schmitz, who abandons him at a critical moment.
