I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Francis Bacon

I really like this one, by Francis Bacon.

I believe that death is something that is quite known to us, but since we have never really experienced it yet (or does OBE ~Out-of-Body Experiences~ count?), it remains this “something out there” that is shrouded in mystery.

I’m sure that we will all know, soon enough.

Once when we cross over towards the light …

I miss my friend who moved to France a couple of years ago. We occasionally manage to chat online whenever we both log on at the same time, but I guess chatting through the messenger just isn’t enough. I guess that’s why I believe that phone cards are a cheaper alternative to getting in touch the “right way”.

TheRichCom.com is one such site that offers affordable phone cards so that you can call your friends (or family) abroad. Their site is easy to browse through, and the buying and choosing of your preferred phone card is so easy and convenient. All you have to do is choose the country, name your card, choose the connection fee and the value of your card, then click on “get phone cards!”. You phone card (and calling card) will be delivered to you immediately, via the internet. So easy, huh?

I have already told my friend about this set-up and she is excited about the idea. Pretty soon, we will be chatting away the “right way”!

I can hardly wait!

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Muhammad Ali

Really pretty interesting …
I know I heard this before; just can’t remember where, or when. Maybe it was during those days when Muhammad Ali was the rage, and the people stayed glued to the television just so they won’t be able to miss the fight. I was still small, then, but i remember the guys huddled together in front of the tv, and making loud noises when something happens. I think our television then was still b/w …. can your child imagine a black and white television?

Got to admire the guy!

Are you longing for a vacation? Want to go somewhere relaxing together with the family, and just have some fun? Not to worry, there are now lots of choices to go to for your vacation.

Originally, finding cheap flights online was quite difficult. It’s great, though, that searching for the right site to give you cheap flights isn’t that hard anymore, but finding the one that truly works for you could take some time. Good thing there’s HolidayHypermarket.co.uk who can help!

The site is fairly easy to browse through, and the pictures that dotted the sites are wonderful. Their package deals look really interesting, too!

So, if you’re planning on giving yourself (and your family) a dream vacation soon, don’t forget to check out HolidayHypermarket.co.uk and see watch as your dream vacation becomes real!

You can be young without money but you can’t be old without it.
Tennessee Williams

Yeah … I find this particular quote kind of sad.
Still, i believe that to be true, too. Being young, you are so full of energy and life, while if you are old, you would find a hard time trying think where to get money for your next batch of maintenance medicines!

Do you have your own business? Do you plan to expand? If you do, then that could mean that you need additional cash to finance such an important business decision.

Unsecured Business Loan can be hard to get, specially if your business is still starting. Trying to find a site that can help you could then be a problem, and time consuming. But that won’t be a problem for EZUnsecured.com. The are reputed for their easy processing, fast funding, and great service.

So, if you’re an entrepreneur, or a small business owner, and want that additional cash to further finance your business, don’t waste time looking for other sites offering unsecured business loan; check out EZUnsecured.com first and you’ll see why!

decided to start my own “food friday”

for starters, that’s a biscuit … with blueberry fillings. and lots of sugar!
(yup, those crystal thingys are sugar …. shhhh. don’t tell the ants.)

*tiptoes away …*

Have you ever wondered if you can afford to pay your own mortgage? Every now and then we witness an occasional person going through some difficulties and have to undergo poor credit remortgage; it is something that most of us wouldn’t want to be in, so it is important that we know (or have an idea) about mortgage protection.

It’s great that there are sites who can help, and one of them is ThriftyScot.co.uk. It is a site that can help you take control of your finances and get you back on your feet again. They can give you advices about your financial problems, ranging from credit cards to loans and mortgages. They even have a page dedicated for the latest financial news on their site.

So if you’re having problems, or would just like to be kept updated about the latest when it comes to mortgages and other financial concerns, then do check out ThriftyScot.co.uk. You’ll be glad for the additional information you’ll get at their site.

I am so thankful for the following things that happened the past few days:

• time for myself … I actually made time for myself!
• what I did with that “time for myself” thing? I slept!
• the downside, though, is that I didn’t get to bloghop more often and visit your wonderful posts … but I know you’d rather have a happy blogger your way rather than a disgruntled one! so I know you’re thankful I didn’t bloghop!
• more $$$ came in this week with my problogging activities! am not trying to raise a million here … just enough to help me with my Christmas list!
• and last, but never the least: my family (and that includes my in-laws, too!) for just being there.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Really appreciate it!
