Is Nouveau Riche a Scam

nice — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:33:16 +0000

I know there are a lot of people who made a fortune through real estate. I believe that it is a lucrative business. You just need to have the fundamental knowledge on the ins and outs of the real estate investing. One thing that interests me is the Nouveau Riche University.

However I hear a lot of comments about this Nouveau Riche Scam. I wonder if this is true. But reading dozens of success stories from their alumni students, I was convinced that it isn’t true.

One of the reasons why they call it Nouveau Riche Scam is because of the exorbitant tuition fees. I don’t think it is a valid claim as it is reasonable enough if you compare it with the learning modules that come with it. Their teachers and professors are the most successful and qualified in the field and they teach you how to avoid real estate investing mistakes and scams.

So no I don’t believe in Nouveau Riche Scam. It is a great opportunity for someone who is looking to get educated in real estate investing. The students who’ve attended the university are proof that you can generate money through real estate if you know how. Most of them have quit their day jobs and have enough to sustain their daily expenses. That’s what I call financial freedom.

This one really cracked us up 2 days ago while having lunch. We were watching Dora while having our meal.

Sister1 : Sis, what is the name of Dora’s monkey sidekick?
Me : Hmmm…. I have no idea
M0rn1ng: Ask B.boy. He knows.

Me: B.boy what’s the name of the Dora’s monkey friend?
B.boy: thinks…
Me: Do you know his name?
B.boy: Opo. Unggoy!!!!

Hahahahaha!

I googled it and found out that the correct name is BOOTS!

Fire!!!

nice — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:03:12 +0000

We breathe a sigh of relief that we already sold the panwich stall when the fire engulfed Puregold Libertad last Thursday. The fire started at 3am but it was only contained at 7pm. The next day, the firewall collapsed and the fire eat up the nearby houses. My heart went out to those who lost their homes.

In the US, they have companies that offers fire restoration services. They offer clean up and repair of fire and smoke damage. These companies can be reached 24/7 so you can expect quick response in times of emergency.

I just wonder if we have similar companies here in the Philippines.

His New Milk

nice — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 03:29:05 +0000

One of the greatest difficulty I have with B.boy a few months back is switching him to drink other milk. I find it hard to continue expressing milk while in the office because of the additional responsibilities I took on. I found it difficult to experience letdown because of stress too. And seeing the so little milk that I express makes me depressed even more.

But the problem is, the little boy won’t take any milk unless it’s breast milk. We’ve tried lactum, pediasure, nido, fresh milk among others but he makes a lot of excuses not to drink it. As a result, his weight dropped a little.

We discovered the new alternative when he tasted the sample of Bear Brand’s busog lusog. It’s a cereal drink pretty much like nesvita and the target consumer are kids. Bear Brand TV commercials helped a lot too. Soon I was making his own cereal drink from oats and BB milk. Then finally, he is now okay to drink the milk on it’s own. Nasanay na siguro sa lasa. M0rn1ng and I was so happy. Yung affordable pala yung gusto nya. At least di nya papahirapan ang bulsa namin.

How To Prevent Acne

nice — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:56:34 +0000

Having a beautiful skin no doubt enhances one’s appearance. It is everyone’s dream whether they be men or women. It’s been said that the best way to have great skin is to get enough rest and drink lots of water.

But what if you are not one of those blessed one and experience breakout and acne? I found a good resource in the net which provides useful articles on prevention, treatments and more. The site is acne.com. I was even surprised to read on the site that there are different types of acne and there a ways to prevent them.

This is good news as having zits on our faces does a lot to our self esteem.

Burned and Gone

nice — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:40:29 +0000

We received a lot of calls from concerned friends nowadays. This is because of the fire that engulfed Puregold Libertad last Thursday. All of them know that we have a panwich foodcart there and they want to express sympathy.

It’s a heartwarming thought to have friends who remember your plight in times of adversity. But they all breathe a sigh of relief when we told them that the panwich business there is no longer ours. We sold it two months ago and we just concentrated running our shawarma foodcart.

After we sold that, we felt a bit regretful because the other business was not doing so well. Nanghihinayang kami sa kita nung panwich because it generates additional income too. But now, we know things happen for a reason. We just feel sorry to the people who bought it kasi 2 months pa lang silang operational.

Extra Pair of Hands

nice — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:28:14 +0000

A reliable house help is a working mom’s best ally. I know how hard it is to balance domestic duties and secular work. It seems like for working moms like me, it’s a 24 hour job. So if someone could give us a pair of hands, it is much appreciated.

However, finding a good one is hard. Either you get someone who is inexperienced and have a lot of headache or find an expert who will charge you a lot. In the US, finding a fulltime household help is almost next to impossible. Because this is the case, eliciting the help of maid service companies has been the common practice.

They can make your homes spanking clean. They will make sure that the bathrooms and kitchen are sparkling, beds made, furniture polished, and carpets are freshly vacuumed. And all these exceptional service can be availed at an exceptional rate.

Makes me want to hire one, one of these days.

Recycle

nice — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:47:02 +0000

A Swedish study shows that the cost of the energy (from oil and other sources) needed to recycle basic materials is usually far less than the cost of the energy required to process them from raw materials in the first place. For example, the study said that with the same amount of energy one could recycle 50 percent more paper, twice as much steel, three times as much aluminum, and up to five times as much of some plastics. An American study confirmed the conclusions.

This is the reason why a lot of companies opt to get a Waste Recovery System. One of these are what they call Solvent Recovery System. Solvent Recovery is a process that consists of heating the mixture until it reaches the vaporization point. Once it vaporizes, it enters a condenser unit where it is cooled leaving the contaminant behind.

It has a lot of benefits which includes reducing hazardous waste storage and savings on new solvent purchasing and waste solvent disposal. Clearly, recycling is the way to go. You save on cost and by doing so, saving the environment as well.

SEO

nice — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:58:48 +0000

If you are into online selling or you simply have a website that you want to market, then you are familiar on how important SEO is. SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization. It is crucial because it increases web traffic and more people visiting a site, the more likely one will get new sales.

A good SEO program accomplishes this because it increases the chances of one’s website appearing on top of search engine results. I’ve read about a good Austin search engine optimization that ensures one’s site to be tanked at the top of today’s popular search engines, including Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask Jeeves.

This is something worth checking if you want to increase your online sales.
