selling footages

Are you one of those budding film makers or cinematographers? I know how expensive it can get to produce a short film. Well, you can actually cut down a bit your expenses by getting royalty free stock footage so that you wouldn’t have to shoot every part of the film. These are available for sale via the internet. Some advertising agencies make use of these footages. This is how some cinematographers make money, buy selling some of their footages royalty free. This is really less hassle for them and for the buyer. From the sales of their clips contributors receive 50% of the net revenue and they are paid monthly.

custom essays

Lately I’ve been having writers’ block so sometimes I don’t get to finish all the writings that I should be making. I think everybody experiences this situation every once in awhile. That must be tough when you were in college and you’re tasked to make essays and research papers. Well, you can actually buy an essay. You can get custom essays and custom research papers. You’ll surely get quality writing which are plagiarism free.

loans

Have you tried applying for loans? I know sometimes it's a tedious task due to all the requirements that you have to submit. Have you heard of Faxless Payday Loans? I know it's a little too good to be true, but there is such a thing. Applying for loans have now become more easy. It's really great that you have somewhere to run to whenever you can't seem to stretch your budget until the next payday. That usually happens when there is an unexpected expense in the household, like somebody getting sick or stuff related to that. I hope I don't get into that kind of emergency. But just in case, it's a little bit calming to know that we can apply for loans to help us get through those tough times. I hope I'll have enough budget for the coming christmas season. My christmas list just keeps getting longer and longer. Oh well. I really need to be more smarter when it comes to shopping. I admit sometimes I have a hard time controlling myself

mailing lists

Do you have a business of your own? Either online or not, you might want to take advantage of Mailing Lists so that you can better reach your target market. Having access to these enables you to send them emails about your product and/ or services offered. Having these mailing lists ensures that your information gets to the people who are most likely going to patronize what you have to offer. You don't have to waste money on advertising to people who are highly improbably to be interested. Being able to capture your target market is one of the challenges in becoming successful in your business since if you fail in this, your sales would suffer. A lot businesses have been taking advantage of these mailing lists and vows that their sales indeed increased.

smorty

Have you heard of blog advertising? It’s becoming more popular nowadays wherein advertisers advertise on blogs through bloggers who get paid to blog. It really is simple and. Both advertiser and blogger benefit from this since the advertisers get the exposure that they need and the blogger earns money from blogging. I have been doing this for a couple of months already. I’m really glad I discovered this since it actually draws in more money than what I was getting from my corporate job. I’m really enjoying it since it just takes me a few minutes to write about a specific site and it’s instant money already. It’s just around 150 words. I usually exceed that quota especially if I like the site. I’ve learned a lot from this as well since I get to discover great finds! Why don’t you try it to? I’m sure you’ll be happy with the extra money it would be bringing in.

another scrap event

There's another scrapbooking sale! I'm so excited! I know I haven't made some scrapbook layouts for quite some time already. I guess I always have an excuse due to my busy schedule. Also, I want to buy more stuff so that I have all I need when I do my scrapping. I just bought some journaling and swirl clear stamps and finally my own cuterpede. There's still a lot that I still want to buy. I hope I find great deals at the scrapping event.

gold coins

Are you that kind of person who diversifies his investments? Where do you invest you money? Do you just let it sleep in a bank or invest in mutual funds? Have you considered converting your money into gold coin? I think with the exchange rates and fluctuating stocks, it's more stable in investing in gold coins. What do you think? We should really be smart when dealing with these kinds of things and invest where we will get high returns. I think the key to this is to think long term. They say that buying and selling of rare coins and precious metals are really very profitable. Have you tried this? I hope you can share more information if you have.

my birthday

As much as possible I really try make a small get together party with my friends and family whenever it's my birthday. This year is no different. With all our busy lives, birthdays are great excuses to see each other again and catch up with each other's lives.

Since I love cooking, it's also a great time to show off my cooking prowess (hahaha!). I really love cooking for my loved ones. Just hearing compliments and knowing that I've satisfied their tummies is a great feat already.

There was lots of food! I couldn't really make up my mind what my menu would be so I ended up making almost everything I felt like making. I made pasta with white sauce, garlic bread, fried sandwich, macaroni salad, potato salad, lumpiang shanghai, siomai, and bbq. I requested my mom to make lengua which I really love! She added in some buttered shrimp, tokwa't baboy and a fish dish which I don't know what to call. Everybody's diet was surely ruined! I also had some brownies from Goldilocks, Pistachio ice cream bought by one of my friends, chocolate rolls from Red Ribbon bought by my brother, and an uber delicious ube cake bought by another friend. There was also some wine (my favorite: novelino luscious peach) and of course, beer!

Thinking of getting a pioneer HDTV? Have you noticed how much the prices of flat screens have dropped? I can still remember how high they were when the fad has just started. It’s amazing how much price drop off they have had. If you have not bought yourself your own flat screen, this is a good time to do so! You would really see the difference when you watch using a flat screen TV. It brings entertainment into a higher leve. Have you done your research already of which brand and model would suit your need? Krillion.com would help you find the retailer of the one that you want!

care homes

All souls day have just passed. Times like these I remember my grandparents. My grandmother would have celebrated her birthday last October 31. I do miss her a lot since I grew up having her in the house. Sometimes I still dream of her. It’s just sad that I don’t have any living grandparents anymore from both sides of my parents.

I know in the states the elderly are sometimes put into care homes since most are busy people and there would be no one available to take care of them. There are actually a lot of care options already. Some would just hire caregivers to take care of the oldies at the comfort of their home. Well, I wouldn’t mind taking care of my grandparents. They lived in our house on and off and I enjoyed having them around. Even when my grandfather was half paralyzed already he still had humor which I really miss now. Oh well. I hope they’re still around. But I know they’re all in heaven already watching over all of us.

emergency money

I've been reading about pay day loans lately. I think this is really a great blessing for those who can't seem to stretch their budget until the next day pay day. I know how hard it is when emergency expenses are incurred especially when someone gets sick in the family. That can really be costly and easily throw you off your monthly budget. With the help of payday loans, you’re somehow able to pull a life line and be able to survive until your next pay check arrives. Check out paydayloanquotes.com. You can have a free quote with no obligations and strings attached. All credit levels are welcome. What’s even great is that it’s a No Fax Payday Loans. You don’t have to worry about those ugly paper works that are usually asked as requirements. So the next time you get into a financial emergency situation and would need around $200-$1500 you know where to look for money.

My 27th birthday


I divided my party into 2...one for lunch and the other for dinner. For lunch I had mostly high school friends over. It was really great seeing them again. It was just like old times. Next year would be our 10th year from graduating from our beloved alma mater (Philippine Science High School). I'm happy for my friends since they're all successful in their chosen fields. One is already a manager in Unilever. Another one just bought a new car.


Despite all these years, it seems like it's still the same us when we're all together. That's what's great about us. We can not see each other for the longest time but when we do see each other again, it would always be a riot! Great food, wine, poker and great friends are really a great combination and spells awesome fun!

A high school friend who's now in Australia (Faye) whose wedding I'm coordinating, sent me some flowers through Andrea. It was really sweet of her. My sweetie's sisters also gave me a cute little bear and a super cute and sweet card. Things like these really makes me feel well loved!

Come dinner time, my college friends were my guests. It was really great seeing them and hearing how they've been. There were more booze and a little gambling. All in all, it was a great day to celebrate my 27th birthday.

more series

I'm really getting hooked to grey's anatomy! I've been downloading the latest episodes and enjoying the new season so far. I wonder what's gonna happen to the characters and how things will unravel. I've also been downloading the new episodes of Smallville, but somehow I don't find it as exciting as before anymore. I hope I could get a DVD of prison break though. I've only watched the first few episodes lately and it was really great. I hope I could watch the past episodes so I can catch up with the latest ones.

busy

I'm so sorry for being a little neglectful of updating this blog and has been filled with paid posts already. I've been a little busy these past few days. I've actually got a lot to write about. I just hope I get the time soon to organize the pictures and right more decent articles. Anyway, I've posted some boracay pictures already but there's a lot more coming up.
