Moving Out

The Author of this post is Kory Dotson

I am moving next month, and have been overwhelmed trying to get everything together. Moving is so much work, and I haven’t done it in such a long time that I almost forgot. I sprung for movers this time so I wouldn’t have to do all the packing and moving myself, but there are still so many things to do. I didn’t want to move, but the owner of the house I’m renting is selling it, so I have no choice. I wish I had enough money to buy the house, because it is wonderful. The area is fun, and the house is in great condition. I have been renting it at a steal for a few years now. I already found another place to live, but it’s not nearly as nice, and it’s more expensive. I am trying to make myself feel better by looking for DIRECTV Special Packages and treating myself to one, but I don’t know if that will help. Maybe after a few months passes I will start to live my new place as much as I love this one.

Feeling So Sleepy

Now is quarter to eight in the morning but I am still feeling so sleepy. Perhaps it is due to the fast that I slept quite late last night, past midnight, as I was glued to a magazine - Personal Money that I bought yesterday. I conclude that this could also due to the fact that I work in a home office, so I tend to wake up later than usual and nap in between work. I hope my comfortable work in a home does not make me slothful and unmotivated. But with financial rewards, who can resist?

Wine Gift Baskets

Brought To By Wine.com, Purveyors of Fine Wine and Champagne

Do you know that Jesus turned water into the best quality wine at a marriage feast in Canna? The guests had the best wine in years to come and they enjoyed their merry-making. Wine also has resveratrol which is a powerful anti-oxidant that helps to prevent cancer. Moreover, the slight alcohol content in wine aids in removing bad cholesterol and unclog the arteries. Hence, it helps prevent heart disease and is beneficial to the heart. You can check out Wine Gift Baskets if you are looking for a bottle of wine or more that is carefully packed in a basket for your family or friends.

Wine is usually drunk during commemorative and celebrative occasions like a wedding feast, graduation, promotion, Oscars gala night and any other form to 'yam seng' or 'bottoms up' with fellow friends, family and colleagues at a round dinner table. It is a form of social get together where loved ones and friends have a good chat after dinner and drink wine to wash all the food down.

My uncle who is a physician in Singapore used to drink a glass of wine every day until today and he still plays 18-hole golf every Sunday. He is now 95 years of age, still very healthy and able to walk long distances unaided.

Going to Kedah

This morning, I will be following my colleague to Kedah to meet up with a potential client for some projects. I was still slumbering away under my duvet in the air con room when I received the call to resend email to another client. So much for not keep track of emails! And he's supposed to be a bursar. All my emails are sent via gmail which is a very good email software, hence I can do a quick search for previously sent out emails.

Roulette Bonus

When I go to Genting Highlands with the biggest hotel of over 6,000 rooms in the world on a mountain top, I will always go in to the casinos and watch the punters busy with the games machines hoping to make money. If you play many rounds and are lucky, there will be a roulette bonus for your taking. We all live to make money - as much as we can possible do - so that our retirement will be rosy and golden and not having to beg in the streets like the hobos.

I am a Workaholic

Just like the Chinese culture, I am a workaholic. I must always find something profitable to do and not to laze around doing nothing. This is not enjoying life to me. I need to fully utilize the time and ability at the moment to gain financially be in it business or in virtual assistance. You can never be like a particular race which will always find excuses not to work and always expect handouts from the government lamenting that their race is poorer than other. But in the first place they are lazy, unmotivated and always play truant from their work place!

Internet Reputation Management

There is a company that I just found which offers internet reputation management. They are rather successful in their venture for clients the world over. But their charges can be quite astronomical and only large companies can consider hiring them as their name and brand are very important. Just check them out by clicking on the link above. They are quite established and the web site is well laid out.

Happily Blogging

I guess blogging is my hobby and something I do almost every day. There is financial incentive for doing so as well, besides keeping my blogs up to date. I love the freedom that it offers in the sense that I can blog what comes to mind, bearing in mind of the limited freedom as to what is appropriate to be posted and what is not. I try to blog on how I make income online and on food.

Contractor Calculator

I am working in the sports surfacing industry which is a blue ocean market - less competition and bigger slice of the economic cake to eat from. Compared to red ocean where competition is very keen and each competitor will try to outwit one another by slashing prices with better services like the food and beverage industry in Penang. In our job, we sometimes use Contractor Calculator to sum up the total amount that we need to pay our blue collar workers that are paid daily wages.

More Opps at Hand

I am feeling a bit sleepy now. Nevertheless, I need to keep my eyes wide awake to take up online blogging opps that are readily available now. Otherwise, it will be taken up by other people and I will miss the chance to blog about it and get paid. Luckily this blog is PR 1 and I will make sure there is interim non-paid posts in between the sponsored ones. I cannot have too many outgoing links.

Feather Locks Hair Extensions

I might just try out feather locks hair extensions just for fun. Who knows, I could go for pink colored ones to celebrate Valentine's day which falls today. It would match with the pink table cloth or pink roses. I just love to celebrate life. These are wishful thinking and may become a reality. Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to all of you out there!

Happy Valentine's Day

Today is lovers' day - Valentine's Day - which falls on 14th February every year. Young couples and married ones celebrate this special day of bonding with romantic candlelight dinners at establishments, hand out crimson red roses in bouquets or in single stalks and make each other happy. Basically, it is a day where romance is celebrated the world over.

Acne Treatment

My second sister takes after my dad and she has more acne on her face even now in her early forties. If you have acne problems, you might like to check out acne treatment reviews and browse around for more information and how to treat your skin problems. It is no fun having acne break out on your skin with scarring. I am lucky to have good genes and don't have acne problems. But this is a real issue that some of the population face every day.

Life is a Blessing

So far, life has been a blessing for me. I have enough savings to last me a long time, a dream job to work at home, roof over my head, etc. I also get to earn a little pocket money online from the different websites. And I work in my pajamas. No more struggles, office politics, bad mouthing, etc. Life has turned 180 degrees for me and I never looked back. It is so much fun now - working hard and playing hard.

Storage Shed Plans

I was looking for blogging opportunities when I came across storage shed plans - where you can just click on the link - and find out more information. In a way, I also update my blog and this will kill two birds with one stone. Later on, I will check into Mandarin Oriental Hotel beside KLCC and stay there for the weekend and check out the next day. When I return to Penang from KL, there will be a friend's wedding dinner to attend.

The Internet has Lots of Opportunities

There are many opportunities to find via the internet. They are countless and you just need to look deeper to find them. From writing opps to blogging and doing micro jobs, you will always find something to do each day and earn a little extra. All these little earnings will add up to quite a substantial amount at the end of the month and you can request for payment when you hit the mininum USD 9.00 for micro jobs. As for writing articles, you can withdraw when you hit USD 10.00

Casual Dresses

Now I prefer to wear pants than casual dresses because it is easier to move around and to sit with more freedom instead of crossing your legs all the time. As I am a bit overweight, it is a bit difficult to cross my legs and hence, I prefer to wear pants for modesty. Besides, I look slimmer in dark pants and they lengthen my legs visually. But if you are slim even in your 50s, then casual dresses will enhance your style and look.

Lawyers don't make Good Business Men

Lawyers are too rigid and don't bend. They follow the law closely and will not hesitate to take legal action as the slightest mistake. Hence, they don't make good business men who run their business based on good will and friendship. To them, money is their God and they make use of people to love money instead of using money to love people. Hope you get the drift.

Workouts

If you are obese, then you need to do simple exercises like jump rope workouts in the comfort of your home. It doesn't have to be costly by joining expensive gym memberships and find that you hardly have time to drive to the gym, exercise, wash up and then drive back. Sometimes, the gym strength stations may be occupied by other people leaving you with no choice but to try out other machines.

Working Hard

I am working hard at a home office to save up enough money for my retirement in years to come, barring any inflation effects. If the inflation rate is 4%, then using the rule of 72, it takes 18 years for your money to become half its value! Likewise, if the interests rate is 6%, then using the rule of 72, it takes 12 years for your money to double its initial amount. There are many ways to make money online and you need to check out good forums to learn more.

Reliable Web Hosting

At the end of 2000, I came back to Penang after 6 years in Singapore to rest and recuperate from all the work stress. After one year of surfing around and learning how to build web sites, I started to offer reliable web hosting with web designing services. I was able to make a little here and there and by chatting with people for work and business. But at the end of it all, I was chatting more than earning and my internet fees overtake my income many times more that I had to start looking for a job outside. Well, suffice to say, I am back to working in my home office and earning a good income.

Internet Cash Cow

The internet is full of opportunities to make money online. Just browse around for the sites that require articles to get paid. There are also plenty of micro jobs around to complete on a daily basis. They come and go as soon as they are available. Just select those that pay the most or the ones that you are comfortable of doing and completing to get paid. The amount varies according to your page rank, and your writing skills.

Came upon a web site

This morning, I was browsing through the web sites and came across Kruiswoordpuzzel Woordenboek where you can click on the link to find out more information. The internet is my lifeline to earn an income and where I work at a home office for my full time employment with a sports surfacing company in Malaysia. I also freelance part time during my free hours to write articles, do some simple micro jobs and paid blog posts.

Earning from Micro Jobs

Today, as I check the system, I found a few micro jobs that I can complete easily. As they are micro jobs, hence the payment are also miniscule too and paid in US currency. So this converts nicely for me for about 3 times to my local currency. These are jobs that can be completed in a jiffy and to earn quickly and cash out soon when you hit USD 9+ or so. It will be paid to my Alert Pay account, something which I have yet to withdraw all my cash.

Multi Car Insurance

I still have 2+ more years to go to finish paying my car loan of 7 years. I took the longest duration to pay back but it also means more interests in the long run. You can check out multi car insurance if you have several cars just like my household. We have 4 cars - one car for each member. In Penang or rather in Malaysia, if you don't own a car, you cannot move around as we don't have MRT system unlike Singapore.

2 sisters in Jogjakarta

Yesterday, my 2 younger sisters flew to Jogjakarta in Indonesia to see Borubodor, an ancient temple of epic proportions. As I could not walk long distances, I did not go. You need to be fit and able to walk very long to look around and to enjoy the trip fully. It is not easy when you walk with a slight limp due to numbness of the foot. I hope to visit Shanghai in June or July this year together with them and try the bullet train.
