My First WII Experience

pinaymommy — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:43:03 +0000

My first WII experienced happened last May 23 at SM City Bacolod’s CyberZone Festival. It was the first time I actually help a WII and the experience was a blast. I enjoyed playing bowling but I had to stop because there were many people falling in line just to test the WII too.

Anyway, it would be really nice to own one and buy more WII accessories for better and exciting experience. But as of now, it would not a great investment for us since we are fund raising for my baby’s surgery. Maybe next time.

Scanning Software

I really loved keeping digital memories of old pictures and other documents that is why I bought a scanner and printer in one to help me with. Unfortunately, I don’t own document scanning software that is why I always rely on PhotoShop to do the scanning for me until one day I noticed that the scanner and printer gadget has its own scanning software. It is not as sophisticated as PhotoShop when it comes to editing, but it is enough to adjust the contrast of the pictures and documents scanned. Anyway, the software is light on my PC and does not need much memory to process my scanning activities. I loved it very much!!

ISP Problems

It’s been awhile since this blog of mine is having problems. Well, not that I am the one who is having problems but those that are accessing my blog using PLDT myDSL and Digitel. They said they couldn’t access this for many months now.

I really don’t know what’s the problem with their internet service providers is but I am sure it’s quite irritating. Knowing that some of my friends couldn’t access my blog is just making me mad and sad.

Anyway, I honestly want to rant about this but I am kind of busy. I still need to finish looking for a hot tub cover. One of my uncles is asking me to search online for its price. So, gotta go for now!

Lead Capturing Services

Many people online practice the art of lead capturing. They do this to get emails of people that might be interested in a particular product. So far, many online companies are prospering because of this technique.

So, how do they earn? Example, a life insurance company asks them to get those people who might be interested to avail of a life insurance policy. So the company does a certain technique to capture life insurance leads. Most clients pay per positive life insurance lead which is means the lead has a valid contact information.

Anyway, this kind of business is really good if you master online marketing and lead capturing. This kind of business can also be done in home and with a few employees.
So, if you were to have such business opportunity available for you? Would you like to start a company offering this kind of service?

Online University

I really wanted to go back to school. I want to study elementary education or get an MBA. I am not sure this would be possible for me since I already have three kids and one of them is still a baby. it might pose a conflict since I need to be present at school and so as for my children.

So, I decided to search for an online university that can offer me distant education. Then I found www.wgu.edu. They offer many online programs and one of them is an online MBA which of course sounds very appealing to me. I also checked their website and found out that their online programs are mostly credited as a formal education in the US and most companies there.

Anyway, I am planning to present this opportunity to my husband. Maybe he will find this more feasible than me leaving the house. Oh well, wish me luck!

Antivirus Software Hunt

Believe it or not, I have done almost 10 system restore in my PC for the past week. Why? Because my husband downloaded and installed something that infected my PC causing it to slow down and sometimes restart. It was very annoying!

Because of my frustrations with my PC’s infection, I decided to look for more stable antivirus software, something that is more updated with PC viruses and runs light in the system. So, I started looking for one.

With several results at hand, I began contemplating of buying the Sun Belt Software. Their antivirus software exactly matches what I am looking for. According to the site where I found it, the antivirus software does not use too much system resources while scanning, meaning it does not slow down your PC. Aside from that, it introduces an all-new technology in fight with PC viruses; it is an antivirus + antispyware engine in one! They use an advance anti-rootkit technology and a cutting-edge proactive protection. It also has a full protection against email-borne threats and very ideal for netbooks (which I am planning to buy) that needs a malware protection. Sounds great right?

Since my credit card is already maxed out, I decided to wait for my credit line to be available. Probably next year, I will get myself one. I need a great PC protection against viruses to prevent myself from massive frustrations!
