Spend Wisely

Many Americans are drowning in personal debt, but you hear less about the people who are digging out of debt. Having a credit card is a big help to those person who don't have a cash in hands. You can use it in many ways, like purchasing a laptop or a TV or for a groceries. It can help you in case of emergency. Credit Card is a short-term borrowing and repayment terms. Man always invented new things to satisfy every ones need and comforts. That's why credit card exist. Because today there are thousand of financial institutions the offer credit cards. In 1958 credit cards appeared from the Bank of America with the name BankAmerica Card. And now was named VISA card and another popular card was also Master Card. These cards permits its users to borrow money or buy goods and services on credit up and pre-spending limit.

How can you apply for a credit card? Do you think it's so easy to get it? Many bank companies are so clever enough to know about the person who's applying for a credit card. In applying credit card you must be at least 21 years of age; with a minimum fixed monthly income; you must have a business or landline number; and if you are a foreigner, you must be a permanent resident and you should include a photocopy of the Alien Certificate of Registration and work permit; and fill out the documents require like ITR (Income Tax Refund), Certificate of Employment, previous month's pay slip and etc. After you've done these, wait for their call. It's just a confirmation if you are really applying for a credit card and will be asking for some information about you. It takes weeks before they approve your application or worst application declined.

But do you think its so simple to have a credit card? Think of this... what if you drown from debt? Their are lots of credit card holders have encountered this problem. And worst they must sell their properties just to pay their mortgages. Especially women. Women can't control their cravings to spent to much in buying not so important things. Shopping is their weakness.

Everytime you make a credit transaction, like you're going to Southern Baja for a vacation and you use your credit card to pay for air fare, you leave a trail of information that gets picked up by credit agencies and that's what you call the Credit Report. Relax! Your credit report is used by lenders to determine your availability and willingness in paying debts. To remind you, just used your credit card wisely and it could really extend your spending power.

A Big Fan Of Hip-Hop Music And Artist

Last time I share to guys the article about the winning of the Jabbawockeez. The Hip-Hop group won in the last season of the Randy Jackson: America's Best Dance Crew. The nice thing about hip hop is the music they made. The fast beat and the rhythm that surely people gonna enjoy. But not only the music symbolized hip-hop. One thing I noticed is the clothes, bling blings, fabulous cribs from the well-known artist and the hot flashing cars.

Yeah! I'm a big fan of R&B and Hip-Hop artist (wish to be one. LOL). Since I was in high school I really like music. Actually I appreciate all kind of music, from hip-hop, R&B, reggae, ballad, soul, pop, jazz, alternative to light rock. Except for heavy metal. I don't like banging my head and shouting. It's not really singing, your shouting like a stupid fool. Sorry guys, those who love hard core music, I'm just expressing my opinion here. As I was saying, in Hip Hop industry most artist are have a huge house and nice cars. If you are watching the MTV crib you know what I'm saying. On that show, they feature the cribs of the sports celebrities, but most of them are from the music industries. You'll see the big pool with a big fountain, inside the house there's you'll find the entertainment room, gym, and some celebrities have a basketball court, billiard hall and sauna bath. Oh! I forgot. When you walk inside their rooms, look for their closet. It's a huge closet full of signature clothes, shoes, cup and accessories like what I've seen on Mariah Carey's room and J.Lo.

The growing list of the hip-hop philanthropists includes P.Diddy (Sean Comb), Jay-Z, Ludacris, 50 Cent, Snoop Doog, Nelly and Kanye West. These people coming from the streets often have a profound insight into the impact their philanthropy can have, and so they are devoting their time as well their money to urban charities. Speaking of Diddy, I've read a article knowing that he wins his first TV actor trophy. Sean Combs is a music mogul, a producer, fashion designer (I'm using his product which is the Unforgivable perfume), and a multi-platinum Grammy winning artist. Diddy won as the "Best Actor In a Television Movie, Miniseries or Dramatic Special" in the 40th annual show and earned 2 NAACP awards for "Raisin".

Some people have a negative insight to the hip-hop genre and its related culture. But some artist explained that hip hop done something to the music industry like what Jay-Z said "It has changed America immensely... Hip-hop has done more than any leader, politician or anyone to improve race relations. Racism is taught in the home… and it’s very hard to teach racism to a teenager who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It’s hard to say, ‘That guy is less than you.’ The kid is like, ‘I like that guy, he’s cool’. White people and all people love hip-hop too!"

Black people are known to Hip-hop industry but now even white like Eminem are into Rap/Hip-hop too. All the while, hip hop and rap music get more popular all over the world. Sure, some people would love to listen and have a hip hop lifestyle.

Holy Week: Vacation And Suffering

It's been 8 days since I went home, to my province, because of Holy Week. Hope to spent more time with my family and friends. But because of duty call, I have to return to my place. Well, same routine, for me it's so boring. I wake up early, go to office, after work I go home, eat while watching TV and sleep. I don't know how will it change.

So now, looking back when I'm in Bicol (my province) where you can find the Mayon Volcano which is known for having a perfect cone. So simple place, I love the fresh air and having a simple living there is what some people are looking for. Our home is near in sea area that's why when summer season the air is warm and I always feel sleepy (I don't like cold places). In those 8 days we spent there I'm so thankful 'coz the weather is fine, actually it's hot. But I love it, most of the time we're out. We went to this place called Kawa Kawa (shape like a big cooking pan), located above the hill. Actually it's sa sacred place. You'll see the Station Of The Cross, the statue is like a human size. Filipinos are know for being religious and Station of the Cross is one way to follow Jesus Christ in his passion and to see ourselves mirrored in him. That's why climbing up in the hill with the heat of the sun burning your skin is a courageous experienced, suffering a little will not kill you.

But after the vacation, I see myself in the Bus Terminal. What else, again, me and my sis have to take 12hrs for a road trip. Yeah! 12 long hours on the road. Nice thing because we enjoy the sounds inside the bus. Oh! I remember, while we're on our way to Manila, we get pissed off. Because one of the bus take over us, and the worst part is the smoke coming from the muffler is so dark and almost block our way. So the driver go to slow down. It takes almost 1 hour for us to get over with that smoke belching bus. I almost curse the bus owner because of not checking their property.

And now, we're heading to Manila, we see the skyscrapes buildings, busy people going to work and the loud noise of the cars. The only thing that I like it here in Manila is if you want to have fun. Everywhere you look cost a lot of money. The shopping malls, restaurant, beautiful houses, and a lot of modernize things you'll find it here. Thanks to the modern technology, like what most of the architect does, mechanical drawings help their job to make it easier and faster.

But for me, staying here is not really tough. I'm used to these place. I start loving it. With the liberated people and these crowded place, I'm gonna learn a lot and I must be clever enought to deal with these people.

Control Your Bad Habit

Why we can't stop our bad habit? Our life is habitual, the do the same thing yesterday or everyday for the last month. Good or bad habit will make you who you are. If you know how to control and change your bad habits, then even a small effort can create a big changes. A habit is any action that we performed and if we consider this habit to be undesirable the it will be a bad habit. Many people are spending to much money and time attempting to break their bad habits and often do not success. Changes is hard work and you must be patient enough because there is no short cut to achieving it.

Nail biting, nose picking, smoking, thumb sucking, and drinking are the common bad habits that we can't easily quit. Smokers are having a hard time to quit smoking. Some of the reason of these are innate human defiance, a need for social acceptance, the inability to truly understand the nature of risk, the ability to rationalize unhealthy habits and the genetic predisposition to addiction. Maybe you've tried to control yourself but do you think your over it? Some things haven't worked out as you hoped. Quitting can be the most difficult word for you and you know the reason why? Because quitting something is difficult when you always think about it, there's no excitement in just saying no and you never simply quit something, you do something else instead. Your bad habit takes time, you can make space for something new and exciting.

Smoking and drinking are ranked as the more dangerous bad habit because it can kill you or you can kill somebody. How? E.g. too much drinking can lead to car accident or a fight with somebody else. I know it's very tough to quit when you know that it's part of your lifestyle. But its time to make a choice or you'll die young. Which do you value more? Do you value more having a thousand of puff or having a pleasant life? Instead of smoking you can take a candy for a good substitute. You will be not only making an active choice to not do the old habit but you will also be making a choice to perform a better action. It's up to you. You should realize how important is good health. You will be forced to make a choice, whether a bad or good, about continuing your habit. What choice do you want to make? The one that makes you bad or the one that makes you feel better and feel good? If you really want to change don't complain, it takes time and eventually you'll no longer realizing it but you're totally over it.

Thier Dream House Can Be Yours Too

Most of us dreamed of a big house. Fully furnished, cozy, nice interior, great landscape and all that. But how can you have these stuff if you don't work hard. Fulfilling your dream is working hard. Wanting to build a big house of your choice is difficult to do if you do not have the capacity to build one. Then you seek for financial help. Or your monthly income is not adequate to enable to build one. Set a goal. Think of thing that you really want. Planned it, do the step by step procedure. Planning a dream house is a hard task. In planning a dream house there are simple things to consider. But think of this, building a house is a dream but, finishing it might be a nightmare.

In building a house the most important to me is the paint color, aside from the architecture of the house. Lending a sense of color and contributing to the mood of your space, paint and wall covering also have several other functions such as waterproofing and fireproofing walls and other surfaces. Painting your house is the best way to add value to your home. Keep in mind, using of a good quality can make a surface more abrasion-resistant, easier to clean and capable of washing the risk of removing the paint.

But if you want an excellent touch you can hire a paint contractor. Paint contractor can be an individual person or a company that you contract with or hire in order to help you paint whatever space it is you need painted. They are sort of a manager who would be responsible for the materials, workers, budget and other factors involved in painting project. Why do I need to hire a paint contractor? Well for one, hiring a painting contractor for big construction projects like painting an entirely new house, repainting an old house, painting the roof, painting a large warehouse or office or even painting the exteriors of a skyscraper are paint jobs that a normal Jane or Joe may not have the skills and expertise to perform properly. Yes, you may be able to paint an entire home but there would be a problems that arise which you as someone with no proper training and to the point that you riled up from the mess and not expected result of your work. It is not uncommon that paint contractors and their clients sometimes quarrel because the clients are not certain with what exactly it is they want to do with their residential or commercial spaces. This may result to their lack of contentment with regards to changes and paint colors they themselves requested for as well as lead to a continuous demand for changes and alterations even when they job is already underway.

Obviously, the solution to this problem would be for the client to clearly define and outline how they wish their commercial or residential space should look after the painting job is done. Of course, this is easier said than done. Our moods, mental condition and personalities can easily change and consequently these can affect our feelings towards the spaces we are in. Knowing your space would be used for may help in choosing paint color and type.

So forget the idea that home improvement is synonymous to a whole load of expenses and a world of trouble. Instead of buying new furniture or paying for additional constructions, all you really need is a good paint contractor who can transform the mood and look of your home with paint and color.
