You Have A Computer, But No Internet

An Internet Problem

What will you do if you have a computer at home, but no internet? This is what I experience right now: an internet problem. I guess at first you don't know what to do. Finding out yourself that you can't live without it (the Internet). Itching yourself what went wrong to your internet and demanding your internet provider to fix it as soon as possible.

In this article, I would like to present the advantages and disadvantages of no internet at home. It seems you go back to the times wherein simple life is the trend. Let’s see what I can say on this topic and share what you think is missing out on the list.

Advantages of Having Computer But No Internet

These are the things I do while experiencing a no internet at all. You can have a peek if you like.

• You can now read your downloaded eBooks.
• Write all your thoughts in your computer or on a piece of paper.
• Meditate and refresh your mind.
• Early sleep and bedtime at night.
• Have a deep thoughts circling around your head.
• In other words, you have time now for these things you would normally ignore of.

Disadvantages of Having Computer But No Internet

And these are the things that make me incomplete because of no internet at home. You can read it if you're interested.

• Yourself seem looking on the things you normally do online.
• You miss all the fun and updates in your social networking sites.
• You cannot assist and attend to all your online businesses.
• You are being left behind by the advanced news on the web.
• Your laptop or computer seems useless to you.
• In other words, you miss the virtual world you were often.

My Words About A Computer With No Internet

At the end, if this turns out to be your situation, don't worry about it too much because if you do you'll get stressed and disappointed. Besides, it seems you tend to waste your valuable time which you should share with your loved ones instead.

• Remember this: There's always a solution to every problems. So act as if everything is okay, it will turn out fine as you expected.
• Another one is: Learn to face your problem with a calm and big curve on your face. That curve is the same as this! --> =)

Triond is Used to be a High Paying Site

My Opinions and Thoughts About Triond

I learned Triond and quickly joined there as soon as I got to know that this site pays high based on pageviews. But that is in the past now coz Triond site was greatly affected by the updates done by Google site, the Google Panda Updates. I started writing more articles there with a belief that I could earn more but it all ended up with small earnings. As of now, I haven't reached their minimum cashout for paypal which is 50 cents ($0.50) while my articles were doing good but earning less... I wish I could turn back time and got to know it a little earlier so I got a chance to experience their high payment.

Anyway, I do not regret anything after I joined Triond because I learned a lot there in return.

My Experiences Being A Writer There

I just want to let you know that publishing your written works in Triond gave me a lot of fun. I learned SEO tips there by reading others' works. People or rather members of Triond are very supportive and approachable. They are very active that whenever you have a new published article, they will come quickly and read yours. In short, if you stay being active there, traffic will come to you. Try to make an account there and experience what I am talking here.

Anyway, here are my Triond Articles.

Enjoy! :)

The Proper Grooming for Men

Have a Hair Cut Every Month

I didn't mind the proper haircut for men before. I didn't know why my parents send me to the barbershop just to have a clean cut.

Our hair keeps on growing, therefore it needs to be cut and trimmed in a monthly basis or on your preferred schedule. Clean cut for boys is the key to be noticed and seen by public eyes. It has a big factor too esp. if you are looking for jobs. Some of the employers, if you haven't asked, consider the looks of their applicant. So as an applicant, you should ensure you have a proper grooming, giving them your best shot and leaving a long-lasting impression.

My Say to Those Who Prefer Long Hair or No Hair At All

Actually, there is nothing wrong with these hair preferences as long as it looks clean and formal. For those who have long hair, you should learn the proper hygiene as well as the best styling of your hair because I've seen many people who still look respectable despite their long hair.

For those who prefer no hair at all due to some reason (baldness), I've seen people who look professional inspite of this. So long as they're concerned with their looks, face, skin and outfit, being hairless is no problem at all.

What Hair Style I Already Tried?

To tell you the truth, I tried most of these hair styles before. From getting clean cut, no hair at all and long hair like F4.

I didn't have a problem with the first two (clean cut and no hair at all) because they are easy to do. While having a long hair is not good on me because my hair is curly and it looks like a bird nest which is placed on my head.

Early this morning, my neighborhood who is happened to be a hair stylist, recommended me to try to straighten my hair even once. So I get the experience and know the feeling.

The idea is cool but what do you think? Should I obey his recommendation as soon as possible? Let me know your answer by leaving your comment on the comment box below.

I hope you enjoy reading this article.

Chocolate Bar

Yummy Treat for Yourself

Do you love eating sweets? What about chocolates? I know it's one of the weaknesses of most of us so I decided to make an article about it.

Chocolate bar is good to our health as long as you don't eat too much. Too much is bad to our health and this principle applies in all things not just in chocolates.

Anyway, whenever you feel hungry and it's unavoidable to skip your meal, you have to make sure that you bring chocolate or any kind of food that has a chocolate on it. It's for emergency and you can eat it anytime. It can give you more energy and make you active in everything you do.

Of course, you have to eat it moderately and it's normal that sometimes we should treat ourselves with a delicious and yummy chocolate.

Happy treats!

Everyone's Sweet tooth

I know some people who are not fond eating chocolates but they just love the idea of looking at it. They can't help themselves from taking a little bite just to know what it tastes about.

There are many types of chocolates and we are only familiar with the ordinary one. There are dark chocolates as well as white or milk chocolates. I know the taste of these two and I slightly like the dark chocolate because of its somewhat bitterness.

But do you know that among these three chocolates, the dark one is the most recommended by the experts for us to eat. Why? Because it has lots of health benefits to give than those two. The white chocolates are very sweet and our tongue really like it. But on the other hand, it is tagged as unhealthy chocolate.

Anyway, I just want to coin that there is nothing wrong with eating these three types of chocolate as long as you know when to stop and too much is bad.

Enjoy your snacks!

You Can Ace It, My Sister

Actually, I don't want to make an article about it because I know she doesn't want others know this thing. But I can't help myself to write about it. Don't worry, I won't market or share it with my Facebook. Twitter or Google Plus accounts. I will only write it and let it be this way.

Anyway, today (but I guess it's already ended since it's 6PM now) is my sister's board examination for Mechanical Engineering. I hope she can ace it if not, pass the examination. The pressure is there but I know she can overcome it.

We are always being laid out with new things in life like the things we've waiting for. For example, I know the day of my resignation came and the last day also. It's the same to my sister's examination which she prepared herself by all means.

No matter what, still the day we've waited for will come. So while it's not yet here, make every moment more fun and enjoyable. Feel it and don't rush things.

Again sis, this is your day, your turn. So give your best shot. Don't let others pressure you and be intimidated by what others are thinking. We will support you no matter what the outcome would be.

Please bear with me coz honestly I haven't experienced being in that situation. My course does not have board examination at all.

I hope you like reading it even though my english is not polished and perfect.

To My Beloved Sister, September 14, 2012

At last your dream of going abroad becomes a reality. It's worth the wait! If you have a thing you want to reach, don't just dream and strive for it no matter how long it will take us.

Anyway, we just went along with her to the airport and bid our final farewell and goodbyes. She will go there to gradually make her dreams come true. I know we will surely miss her presence at home and our shared memories. Since, my brother has his own life to mind of and this sister of mine is starting to outline her life about what plans she has in the future and others, I am the one responsible in matters at home. Though I have an older sister (because, we're 5 siblings), she acts and thinks not at her age and my younger sister is still pursuing and preparing for her board examination. I'm already resigned at work and have something in mind to follow. I don't want to waste my time in making other business prosper and grow. I want to try if I can serve myself and be my own boss.

Anyway, to my ate Maris, I know you can make it and nothing can stop you (even barriers) from dreaming. Just enjoy life to the fullest. I will always treasure and apply what you taught me along with my journey and try to minimize my anger at all.

Thanks for everything and see you in person in 2015.

Difference between LRT and MRT

I do not know how many times I have experienced riding in LRT but I think it is more or less three. The first one was when we bought clothes because I was a CAT officer before in highschool, the second time was just recently (this month of September, 2011) and I've forgotten the third. :P While in MRT, I rarely ride in it even though it is near to my current workplace.

What differences do they have? Of course, the beginning letter of the word and what it means (Light Rail Transit for LRT and Metro Rail Transit for MRT). The LRT is more primitive and long existed than MRT. Therefore it is old and lying along the Manila area while MRT is the new version of it that lies on Edsa. LRT stations are closed to one another while in MRT, stations are far from each other (based on my experience and observation).. The two are meet at the Taft station (Pasay Rotonda LRT-MRT). There I found out that the two are not rivals when it comes to passengers because they have their destination and place occupied. Due to being curious, I got to know the things I should know before, not when I got a job. Thanks to my brother. Now, I have heard stuff as LRT 2 and I do not even know where it is lying. I don't need to worry, because no secrets stay hidden forever.

What about you, are you aware on their differences?

Writing or Talking?

Do you prefer writing or talking when dealing with person? Both of these can be used to express our thoughts. But there are some advantages and disadvantages when choosing to stick on one side. So which one are you in: writing or talking?

Writing and talking are two big things that we are dealing in our everyday life. Whether we write through emails and chat or start a conversation, we're still executing our social skills/talents. But there are some differences arise between them.

First is putting your words on a piece of paper or typing (on your keyboard) to keep in touch with your loved ones or acquaintances is much better and easier for me. Because I'm not good in expressing my thoughts in person besides you have time to think and edit your words. But the emotions are not present and can't be distinguished by them. So they don't know if you said it happy, sad or angry.

Expressing your words through speaking is a little bit hard for me. I'm not a type of person who talks my thoughts and feelings to people around me. But doing this will show that you're sincere. Why? Because they see through your eyes if you are true to your words. In other words, they see your facial expression and reactions as you talk to them. They can tell if you are just lying to them through the tone of your voice as well.

Anyway, both of them are important if we use fairly. Writing will make your mind sharp and go to the next level while talking will give you more confidence in yourself and improve it also. If you asked me where I am good at, I would answer you writing than speaking. But I should not let my speaking skill just as it is because there is always a way if you want to.

What I Just Realize While Being Jobless

One month and two weeks ago, I resigned at my work. I decided to give myself a time to concentrate in my online writing and I made it as my full time.

What I just realize while being jobless is writing online (for me) is classified only as sideline or additional income to your full time job. It means supplemental and can be considered as personal hobby or interest. I also learned how to manage my time when it comes to writing. That no matter whether you have job or none, still you can earn money online. Just allot time in writing when you have no work or it’s your day off. Don’t procrastinate and make stress as your excuse.

Since, everyone gets old and I am turning 24 this December, in order to save quickly, we should have a stable job to earn for our future.

I personally encounter a friend who is very thrifty and does not spend as much as possible but save his income by depositing them in the bank’s time deposit. I taught him to use investment vehicles like mutual fund and unit investment trust fund. He didn’t obey my advice but decided to study it first.

I also offered him a loading business and now he is earning commissions from it. He is a top earner and earns more than me.

My personal viewpoint is since I have skills; I must not set them aside and let time passes by. Work and work until you build a money earning investments, savings and others. And when you do, that is the time to call it as retire.

For me, at least I tried things which I thought would make me successful and that made me happy. I’m happy that my parents and siblings are all supportive in whatever I do.

Thanks God for giving me wonderful persons like them.

It’s time for me to act again. I still have two months to enjoy my long vacation but who knows, those two months will turn out shorter and can be today or next week. No one knows.

I hope you enjoy my column.

What Do I Do When I Finish Reading Manga?

I always read manga esp. if I find that manga very interesting and fun. I'm only looking forward to Naruto and Hajime No Ippo but recently I found another anime which hooked me up too. My sister told me that there's a manga of it. The title of that anime/manga is Kuroko No Basket. I get addicted watching it while resting from my online work or business.

Anyway, here are the things I do whenever I finish reading manga:

~ Analyzing and backtracking things I read in my mind.
~ Sometimes, I'm looking for its anime online and begin watching.
~ I also share it with my friends whenever the new release is already out.
~ Taking break from my computer usage so my mind can relax.
~ And writing articles like this.

These are only my preferred things to do after reading manga. I'm sure you also have a routine that is similar or different to mine.

It depends on what you feel to do but basically it has something to do with the last thing you did. Like for example in this one, the next thing you do is surely related with manga or anime.

Do you have a list of things that you do after reading manga? Then share them with us and let's have fun!

I hope you enjoy reading this column.
