Earning while watching Dramas

Do you know anyone who has enough time to work, earn money online and at the same time get addicted to watching Asian dramas? Not to mention, another time for blogging and playing FB games. Yuuki is one great lady who can do all this. One of her blogs is dedicated to her addiction to Asian dramas and she called it Drama Queen ... Addicted to Asian Dramas.

Lately, she is getting addicted to other Dramas, like House, Heroes, Vampire Diaries to name a few. Wow, she really loves watching different dramas, maybe because she believes life is a drama itself. Though, this lady is very busy, she is also a very caring daughter to her two moms. I hope she can see her mom again, to hug her, to thank her, to listen to her stories on my growing up years… just as she wished. You can read lots of different articles here and it would be really worth your time.

This is a blog review for an entry to Yuuki's Twin Blogversary Contest

What to Do After Rehab

A lot of people know that they have a problem but aren't sure how to address it, or they are unaware that they even have an issue to deal with, and family is forced to stage an intervention. Residential drug and alcohol treatment centers are a vital first step for former drug and alcohol abusers, but they are only a first step. What people do after they leave a residential drug or alcohol treatment center is very important in determining whether or not they will successfully recover from their addiction.

 When people re-enter their own community with the fresh perspective of sobriety, it's often difficult for them to find new friends, resources to assist them, and even just a job. Family is an excellent aid that former substance abusers need to implement in the beginning of their community-based rehabilitation, but what is a former user supposed to do weeks and months down the road?

 Most states have planned measures for former substance abusers, like Vocational Rehabilitation. Through Vocational Rehabilitation, a former substance abuser can be issued a counselor who will assist them in making long-term recovery plans. Although residential drug and alcohol treatment centers are necessary, they need to be accompanied by a counseling on a long-term basis, as they would inform you, and coaching.

 Many former substance abusers have criminal records that include misdemeanors like intent to sell, carrying, or public intoxication. For people with criminal records, Vocational Rehabilitation counselors can issue a job coach, or employment specialist, who will help them to find meaningful employment that will limit their exposure to the substances they have issues with currently. A job coach can also assist former substance abusers in learning new interviewing skills and resume creation and design skills. For people who have finally overcome a life-long battle with a substance, it's important to support them in their success, so that they do not relapse.

What's cooking?

I would like to thank you guys for always dropping by at my blog. I know, I don't update this blog often. It's because I don't really have much new opportunities right now and of course I am cooking. Yes! Cooking and busy at my cafe world. hehe

This and my farm makes me busy these past days. Once I get myself rehabilitated from this addiction, I will visit as many blogs as I can, but in the meantime, I still encourage you to drop EC here, if you'll be the top dropper, you'll have free ad space on my side bar for one month. That's my small way of appreciating your visits.

Take Care bloggers!

Tips for Saving Money When Shopping Online

We all want to save money. In today's economy, it's smart to look for deals when buying products so we can have more to use on other essentials. This doesn't change when we shop online. In fact, shopping online makes finding deals even easier. Here are some tips that you can use the next time you're shopping online.

 1. Buy "out of style" items. Out of style items do not mean shoulder pads, rolled jeans, or bell bottoms. Every year, products come out with new patterns or styles and last year's items go "out of style." You can see this with newborn car seats and carriers, kids' clothing, furniture, and more. But the fact is, last year's style is just as functional and you can find enormous savings by not having to have the newest, hottest item. Typically, these "out of style" items can be found online at stores that carry overstock items, and you can get deals such as 50% off or even 80% off the product.

 2. Buy refurbished electronics. If a brand new electronic product, such as an iPod or laptop, is just out of your budget right now, but it's something that you could really use, then consider buying it refurbished. These electronics, found at many online stores, are greatly reduced from the original product but are just as good and will sometimes come with a warranty to guarantee they'll last.

 3. The last, and best tip, is to find deals on offers.com. This site is designed to help consumers find deals — some of which you can't find anywhere else. Here you can find coupon codes and other deals on stores that include Gap, Wal-mart, the Apple Store, Barnes & Noble, Pottery Barn, Macy's, and more. You can search by store, by product or by category. There are even deals on travel.

An Advantage Over Cable?

Cable customers often swear by the price they're paying and the reliability of service, but those people who've switched over to DIRECTV don't agree that cable is a better choice. DIRECTV subscribers believe that their satellite service is more reliable and that they pay less for the services they get. Is that true? It can depend on several factors, like the cable company that DIRECTV competes with, the programming packages ordered by the customer and where the customer lives (because bad weather can sometimes affect satellite programming more than cable). Generally, however, this is not an issue for DIRECTV customers, who get good service with few interruptions, and for a lower price than most cable providers offer.

DIRECTV Programming: What Does it Offer?

Unlike many cable companies that only have specific tiers of packages, DIRECTV has more flexibility. There are packages for people who like sports, religious programming, soap operas, movies and other specific types of television. In addition, there are also packages for people who want a good mixture of television program options. Smaller packages are available for people who don't have a lot of money, don't watch much TV or don't want to spend a significant portion of their income on the TV budget.

Is DIRECTV Programming Affordable?

For some people, DIRECTV is less expensive than cable. For others, it costs about the same. Some people may pay more for DIRECTV than they were previously paying for cable, but that's usually if they want premium packages that offer a lot of sports, movies, or pay per view events. These packages cost more, no matter what company they are purchased through. Rural areas of the country also might not offer cable, so DIRECTV and its satellite competitors may be the only options that these customers have.

Just be Careful

I know most of us are receiving spam emails each and everyday. But I just want to share to you another spam email I received and it is with regards to Paypal. Good thing the email went to an email account that is not registered at paypal, so I know already that it is a spam mail. So the email goes like this:

Information Regarding Your account:

They even have a paypal logo with it, and a very trusting person would really believe this is from Paypal. When you click that link you will be directed to paypal BUT notice that the web address itself is not from paypal. So, be very careful.

Sportsbook Online Betting

Have you ever accurately predicted the outcome of a college basketball game, even down to the final score? Picked the winner in the Kentucky Derby? Told others who would win the Super Bowl weeks before the game is played? If you're not putting those skills to use on Sportsbook, what's the point? Online betting with Sportsbook is quick, easy...and potentially, a good way to make a little extra money.

New members to Sportsbook will enjoy bonuses simply for signing up to the service, which allows you to bet on sporting events around the world 24/7. Using nothing but your mouse and your wits, you can wager high or low stakes on hockey, football, horse racing, soccer, and pretty much any other sport you can possibly name. Sportsbook even offers online video poker and blackjack for gamblers who want to try their hand at cards as well.

For some sporting events, even the biggest and best, early betting is available to Sportsbook members. You could wager on the World Cup well before your friends have picked their winner, then sit back and wait for the results while they scramble to make last-minute wagers. Use the site's online search bar to find games by team name or rotation number, or browse the left-side navigation menu to find games by sport. No matter how you use Sportsbook online betting, you'll find that it's extremely simple and quick.

Sportsbook's main page allows you to browse last-minute bets and the most popular bets, so you can get a sense of what other sports betters think about the outcomes of various games. With Sportsbook, you can even bet on the outcome of political races, not just horse and auto races. Comprehensive, easy-to-use online betting is at your fingertips with Sportsbook.

I need a Diet Plan!

It's really hard to have a diet plan, when I can see my favorite foods all the time and when I always enjoy eating. Like the other day, we bought Selecta ice cream. It's just so delicious I can't resist eating it. :D I think I am gaining weight everyday. I tried cutting down my food intake. At the office, I would just eat one fourth of the rice that is being served. But during dinner, when I am eating with husband, I just can't eat little. He would put rice again on my plate. lol. Another thing, my office mate would always invite me to eat snack. I can live without snack but she would always insist. Some times or most of the time she would pay for our food. Who can ever resist that? But I really need to have a diet plan, I am gaining weight already and I don’t really like that. Anyway, what I am thinking is that maybe I can just bring high protein snacks at the office, so that every time she would ask me I would just show her that I have my snack, and she can just buy her food, and we'll just eat together. I might even give her some of my snack, because she needs it too.It's like I am helping her while I help myself loss weight. Good idea, right?

New look for Neo bux

I was click at EasyHits4U and I saw this Neobux ad for three times already. For those who don't know what EasyHits4U is, it is the most popular traffic exchange program on the Web with over two hundred thousand registered members. It allows you to promote your own sites, referral/affiliate links from other programs, banner and text ads to other registered members, and build your own downline here. they are in the business since 2003. Oh anyway, I was talking about Neobux, I wasn't able to visit Neobux for three or four days now, when I first saw the ad, I though some scam site are imitating Neobux but yeah, I was wrong! In celebration of third anniversary as the most trusted PTC online, they changed their look, they call it rebranding. You can read more about it in their forum. Here's the front page of Neobux:

Looks good and interesting, I have to visit this site again later and do some clicking again. :-)
