PhotoHunt 103 - High

The theme is High.

We just attended and arrived home from a birthday party. It was held on the 11th Floor of a high building in Makati City, Philippines. From there, I took picture of high buildings on the skyline. They are situated in the Fort Bonifacio. The foreground are the posh Makati subdivisions.

I also took picture of the roads below:

Selling your endowment policy

If for one reason or another, you want to surrender back your endowment policy to your life insurance company, DON’T! No doubt, it is the easiest thing to do to get back your money fast. But, surrendering your endowment policy, would give you lesser value than what it is worth. The better alternative is to sell your endowment policy and get extra cash. Looking for a buyer, however, is not easy especially if you do not have experience in doing so. And, negotiating for a better price is another thing. Maybe you could find one and negotiate a good price, but there’s the intricate legal work and documents to accomplish.

To avoid these difficulties, go to the experts – the specialists in selling endowment policies. Endowment Express is one site that will help you Sell Endowments. Instead of you looking for buyers, it would search for major buyers for your endowment policy; so you could get the best deal, which should be more than 33% of the surrender value.

Aside from giving the best quotes, it would also provide the legal works as part of its service. Endowment Express has already helped thousands of satisfied customers in selling endowments. It can help you too. Just fill out the online form at no obligation or cost and Endowment Express would do the work for you.

PhotoHunt 102: Metal

We just arrived home from a two-day vacation at the beach in San Fabian, Pangasinan. I immediatey turned on and searched my lappy for a photo for the PhotoHunt theme: Metal. And, I found the photo of my nickname plate which is made of metal. This was given to me by a friend who came from California.

PhotoHunt 101: I Spy

This Saturday's theme is I spy (take a photo of something hidden for us to find). I am having difficulty looking for or taking a photo that fits the criterion. Instead, I am posting a picture of a spy. He is . . . Ooops! I almost forgot. Sorry, but I can't reveal his identity.

Does he look like one?

Our trip back to Manila

March 10, 2008 – Monday. At 10:00 AM, we started rolling for another long trip back to Manila. I passed by a vulcanizing shop a few meters away to increase the pressures of my tires as we were loaded. Aside from the six occupants and our baggages, we were carrying two sacks of rice and a crate of mangoes.

Our trip back was longer as it took us almost 14 hours. We had fewer but longer stopovers. I even worked along the way. My boss called me up requesting me to review some important documents and he needed my comments in two hours. But I’m still four hours away from home. So, I just stopped over in a restaurant, took out my lappy and mobile phone, connected to the internet, opened my email and worked.

At close to midnight, we were finally home exhausted from the longer trip but safely.

Dalton Pass Viewpoint

On our way to Isabela, one of our stopovers was the Dalton Pass Viewpoint with Shed. It is located in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya right after the boundary of Nueva Ecija and Nueva Vizcaya. The construction of the viewpoint was completed on December 1, 2000 during the incumbency of Nueva Ecija Governor Honorable Rodolfo Q. Agbayani. I have passed Dalton Pass several times in the past; but, this was the first time I stopped over at the viewpoint.

Our trip to Quezon, Isabela

Yesterday, we arrived safely to our destination – Quezon, Isabel. We left home at 7:00 AM and traveled for almost twelve hours because of the so many stopovers we made. I could not drive so fast because there are stretches of the highways that are no longer in good condition, especially the stretch from San Simon to Sta. Ana, Pampanga. We also encountered heavy traffic at Sta. Ana, Pampanga and Caranglan, the last town of Nueva Ecija, which consumed almost an hour of our time. The usual travel time is between eight to ten hours only.

There were six of us, me, Beng – my wife, Mamang – my mother, Jaja – my daughter, Elvie – my sister, and Jing – my nephew. I brought my Toyota Innova instead of the Kia Carens to accommodate all of us and our baggages and some cargo.

Cheap Viagra

As people ages, there are some dysfunctions going on inside their bodies. For male, one of these dysfunctions is the erectile. There are myths and urban legends circulating around about revitalizing erectile dysfunctions, such as eating exotic food and wild herbs, applying some kind of oils, doing special exercises and massages, and other quack advices. But none of these have been truly effective. They only work psychologically.

Science has already discovered the effective medicine to solve the male erectile dysfunction and make your sex life fuller, happier and enjoyable again. The new medicine is called Viagra; but it is very expensive and is not affordable to most men. It is good ILoveKamagra is offering and supplying generic Viagra called Kamagra or the Cheap Viagra. It is the alternative to Viagra, which is also very effective but much cheaper. It is available in tablet and jelly forms and in different dosage. Kamagra has the same ingredients and potency as Viagra.

Before buying Kamagra, it is recommended that you seek medical advice first to determine if your heart is still healthy for sexual activities. And, if so, proper precautions must be observed. Take only the prescribed dosage and follow the right procedures to make the results more effective and enjoyable.

Ordering your Cheap Viagra can be made online at ILoveKamagra.com. The site also offers Apcalis tablets, which is the generic Cialis but cheaper than and effective as Cialis.

PhotoHunt 100 - Different

This Saturday's theme is DIFFERENT. This time, I will play it DIFFERENTly - I am not posting yet any entry for this theme. My reason is I am currently out of town attending my niece celebrations for passing the recent Nurse Licensure Examination. The place I am now is remote from Manila, which is about 400 kilometers away; and it has no telephone services yet. Fortunately, there are mobile phone networks available; and I am using my mobile phone for the internet connection. The internet speed though is very slow and it take eons to upload a picture. When I return to Manila in a few days, I might belatedly post my entry.

Land Trip from Manila to Zamboanga City

Jessie, my cousin who has settled in Zamboanga City, has been inviting us to visit them. Last year, we planned of going there to visit him and his family then explore this wonderful place. But, it did not push through. This year, we are planning again to go there but by land instead of by air. In this way, we could also see other places and not just sky and clouds. We would take the shorter Mindoro, Panay (stop at Boracay), Negros route in going there and perhaps the longer Bicol, Samar, Leyte route in coming back. I just hope it would come true this time.

Brand Identity Guru for Search Engine Optimization

Have you tried searching for your product or service’s brand names on the internet? Did you find them on top, in the first page, in the succeeding two, three, four or five pages? Or, you did not find them at all; as they are buried in the deeper pages. If they are not on top or even on the first page, you are missing potential new customers and sales. Doing your business online makes your business competitive and profitable but not necessarily more profitable. It is good for your existing clients or for anybody who already knew about your company and your products or services. But, how about the prospective new customers, who have not heard about your online business and products or services?

To be more profitable online, your company and your products or services must be on top of the search engines or at least on the first pages to be visible and easy to find. Visibility is the key to make more potential customers visit your websites, which is the first step to make sales.

If you want to be on top of the search engines, hire Brand Identity Guru Inc.; and it will help you create and implement an effective Internet marketing campaign, Search Engine Optimization and positioning strategy. Try searching for the keywords “Branding Company” and "Boston SEO" in Google; and you would find Brand Identity Guru on top. That’s what Brand Identity Guru will do to your company – put it on top of the search engines.

Brand Identity Guru for your marketing and branding strategies

Are your products or services less saleable than their counterparts in the market despite they were of the same prices and qualities? Perhaps, the latter is more advertised, promoted and positioned. So, you have done the same; but still you are not getting your fair market share. Something is not right. Advertising, promotion, and positioning are good marketing strategies but not enough to guarantee more sales because of the stiff competition. These strategies would convey your message to your prospective customers. But, would they see it the way you wanted it to be? Or, are they confused and see it differently? You would know they are not getting your message if they are not buying your products or services.

It is time to rethink. Overhaul your marketing and branding strategies or engage a Marketing Company that specializes in marketing and branding strategies. The latter is more advisable. You need Brand Identity Guru Inc. (BIG for short). BIG will you help convey your message to your prospective customers effectively and make your products or services stand out from the competition. With BIG’s BIGPicture™ and the BrandMasterpiece™, you would see your sales shoot up, your marketing goals exceed your target and your profits increase.

To learn more what BIG could offer to your business, please visit BIG. You can also take the brand strength test to find out how strong your brand strength is.

Touring North Luzon

Three or four years ago, when Mamang, my mother, came to the Philippines from Australia, we toured the northern and central Luzon from Manila. Our stops were Talavera, Nueva Ecija - Alicia, Isabela - Quezon, Isabela - Penablanca, Cagayan - Iguig, Cagayan - Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte - Laoag, Ilocos Norte - Bantayan & Vigan, Ilocos Sur - Baguio City - Dagupan City - Balanga City - Bagac, Bataan. The tour took us one week to complete.

Now, that she's back again, we are thinking of repeating the tour. My niece, April, invited us to go their place in Quezon, Isabela for her celebration for passing the Nurse Licensure Examination. From there, I am planning of taking the Ilocos way in coming back to Manila. It's still a plan.

Easy Online Payday Loan

Most of us, particularly the salaried employees, sometime fall short of cash in between paydays. In this situation, we think of our relatives or friends and try to borrow money from them. Or, if we have some valuable properties, we could sell them at lower than their current values. These options, however, could put us in an embarrassing situation. And, there is no assurance that we could get the needed cash on time.

But, there is a better way – apply for a faxless payday loan to Easy Online Payday Loan. Getting a payday loan is easy and fast; provided you possess the following qualifications:

• Maintain a job with at least $1,000 income per month or have an income from welfare or social security of $800;
• 18 years old or older;
• A citizen of the United States;
• Have an active savings or checking account with a direct deposit set up.

It is not a problem whether you have a bad credit history or have filed for bankruptcy. Since the payday loan is secured against your paycheck, you can still qualify.

If you think you are qualified, just fill out the online form with the most updated and relevant information. After submitting the form, you may sit back and relax while Easy Online Payday Loan works out with its lender partners for you payday loan. Once approved, the funds shall be electronically transferred to your bank account the next business day.

PhotoHunt 99 - Party

Last October, Tsikot.com - a car forum where I am a member, celebrated its fifth anniversary. The highlight of the celebration was a Grand EB (EyeBall) dubbed as "Tsikot High Five". The motif of the PARTY was Hawaiian; and Hula girls entertained us with their Hawaiian dances.

Tsikot is the the slang term of kotse (car).
