Insurance

A friend of mine has been pestering me about getting a life insurance for a very long time now. He said that it is for my own good and that I should get one of those guaranteed issue life insurance which his company provides. To be honest I have grown wary with all these insurance since there has been a lot of rumors going on around them and how several of its customers never managed to make any claim. Isn’t that crazy or what? Anyways after way too many messages from him I have decided to meet up with him and discuss these things.

Android or Blackberry

It seems as if my hand is itching yet again to buy a new mobile phone. It happens every now and then and the last time this happened I ended up impulsively buying a Hello Kitty dual sim flip phone. Back then I have been so hooked with the kawaii flip phones I see in Japanese dramas and movies that I resorted to finding one that closely resembles it.

Now however I am thinking of getting an Android mobile phone or succumb to the lure of Blackberry. If I opted for Android, my first choice would be Sony Ericsson Arc but am not sure how much damage this unit would cause me. As for the Blackberry, I have seen pink Blackberry Curve and I am very tempted to buy one. The last time I fell in love with a qwerty smartphone was with a pink Palm Centro which unfortunately I could not find here.

So if you were me, what would you choose, a Blackberry Curve or a Sony Ericsson Arc?

SEO Guru

In the course of my freelance career I have seen several online job postings about search engine optimization. The budget for these projects are rather good and it made me wonder what it takes to be considered and SEO guru. Almost all of these projects would mention wanting an SEO superstar or SEO guru. The last project I checked out required that the applicant must have previous experiencing using seo elite and those who don’t have this need not apply. There are a lot of search engine optimization products other there and it’s impossible to know all of them at once.

Ohm

I have been wanting a tattoo on my right wrist but a lot of things stopped me from going ahead with it.

First … Our country is not as open minded as the countries in the west where teachers with visible tattoos are allowed. Heck! Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional was a special education teacher before the success of Dashboard Confessional and both his arms are loaded with ink. Its not like I do have a solid plan of using my profession but I’m keeping that option open …. just in case.

Second … a friend told me to lay low on the inks especially in visible areas especially since I intend to go traveling to China. She said its better safe than sorry … I guess she’s right no matter how you look at it, China is still a rather conservative country.

What I’d like on my right wrist is the ohm design, is the most important symbol in the Hindu Dharma, for it is nothing short of Absolute Reality (Brahman) and embodies the essence of the universe. [taken from Vanishing Tattoo]

I was inspired when I saw these images below:

The second image I found on Flickr and I have to admit its very beautiful and it makes me absolutely want one. The eternal symbol of new beginnings, that should be nice.

Silver

With today’s current mode of exchange and commerce I have often wondered what it must be like if our mode of exchange is by means of gold coins, gold bars and silver bullion bars. I guess these things are still being used today but not by common people so as one of the common people I am wondering what it must be like. Would things be more complicated or would it be as simple as it used to be back in the olden times?

I have watched Robin Hood and Xena and in this movies/series the mode of exchange is seen to be gold or other form of precious metal.

Vitamin Supplement

Ever since I started working I have always been told that I should take vitamins for supplement but being hard headed I decided not to heed their advise. A friend of mine once mentioned received one bottle of arginine supplement which has about 100 tablets in it. Her aunt arrived from the US and bought her several items including the vitamin called arginine. According to her it seems to be a very popular vitamin supplement in the US and her aunt has taken advantage of the offer online where you get one bottle free if you buy two bottles of arginine .

She has been taking it for a while and told me that I should probably get a vitamin supplement too since health is wealth and that I should take care of my body.
