Why Not Become An X-Ray Technician

Ok, in my last post I said that I might not be able to finish my Bachelor of Science in Nursing or maybe I'd pursue another career in the medical field. As they say, when a door closes enter a window! I've found another great medical career that I know I'll definitely go into if my plans for nursing don't push though. And what career is this? No other than being an x-ray technician.

What a better way to work in the hospital and you're pretty much in demand because x-ray diagnostics is a routine procedure in every hospital. And take note that the median wage for an x-ray technician is $40,000. That's more like a registered nurse's salary!

But let's not talk about money. Being an x-ray technician is also quite interesting as you get to work with state of the art equipments like X-rays, MRI's (magnetic resonance imaging), and CT (computerized tomography) Scanners. Plus you don't have to suffer like some nurses who have a lot of patients to handle, illegible doctor handwritings, and some very irritable patients.

So if you're a nurse you only need to study for one year and you could already be an x-ray technician. Even I, who have finished a 2 year Associate In Health Science Education, could qualify as an x-ray technician so I already have another career path if ever nursing does not work for me.

Escaping from Debt

I have been watching some TV shows lately and I have noticed that some kids or even the kid-at-heart find shopping as a favorite pass-time. Well I have nothing about shopping since I too love to shop but I only shop when I have the money. What I have noticed is that some people shop and shop until they drop using their credit cards.

Oh yes I have always loved the great power of this plastic that could buy you everything you $desired in the mall with one swipe. I remember the first time I bought anything with a credit card (not mine, my mom's) and that was my laptop. Being able to buy anything is a great adrenaline rush.

But reality check! You have to pay for all of the things you've bought later. And this is where hell breaks loose. Some people even have multiple credit cards and when the credit card statement arrives, you sure wish you had another credit card to get out of this mess. One keeps using their credit card and what they're earning can't meet all the cost that they have incurred and where does this lead to? DEBT! Piles and piles of debts.

So how do we find debt relief? Simple, through debt consolidation. Yup that's right, you get a loan to pay up all your debts and other several loans. So if you want to improve your credit roles and stop all those pesky calls from the people you owe money to then better find yourself a debt consolidating agency that could bring you your own debt relief.

Another New Car

One thing that still confuses me is that a lot of people are saying that the economy is getting bad and all but then here comes my cousin who just bought a new Ford Ranger after he was fed up with his old Mazda car. Here's a pic of his new baby:


Ain't it a beauty? I'm so jealous. Anyway I told him that he should better get a car insurance since you know how it is with robbers. The better looking the car the higher their motivation is to steal. In the US alone, cars get stolen every 26 seconds so one should really be safe than sorry and get a car insurance. I googled car insurance and a lot of companies showed up. You should really get auto insurance quotes so that you'll get an auto insurance that can guarantee your assurance and peace of mind that whenever there's anything that happens to your precious car, you are insured.

And if you're looking for auto insurance quotes within near your area you might want to check out carinsurancerates.com. They have free quotes for any vehicle anywhere in just 5 minutes. Cool huh? I'm sure that you'll find everything you need about car insurance there.

Money Problems

I was quite shocked to find out recently that my mom had actually gotten herself a payday cash loan before. I knew that my mom was having some difficulty handling all our finances when my dad stopped working but I never knew that such loans existed.

For those who don't know what payday cash loans are they are loans intended to cover a borrower's expenses until his or her next payday. I find this loans quite helpful really since we can't change the fact that the country's economy is not that good anymore and there are so many price increases but there is no changes in the salary.

Oh well, as long as payday cash loans exists I'm sure that everybody could get by. Good thing we're already moving this June to another country with a better economy.

Coming Out of My Shell



Well you've just seen a video about my blooper and I just came out of my shell. Speaking of shells I'm craving for gulf oysters right now. Gulf oysters are exquisitely delicious and just simply delectable but they do have some dangers to it. That is why one should be an informed eater as not to end up with a bad stomach or a systemic infection. So enjoy your gulf oysters everyone and make sure that you are not an at-risk consumer of oysters.

Good thing I know something about Oysters or my most embarrassing moment would have included a stomachache and a trip to the hospital.

On Buying a Car


I was asked by my mom to do some errands for her one day, she has asked me to deposit some money to the bank. As usual the bank was filled with so many people and the priority number I got would take a few more hours until it was called. So I decided to read some of the bank brochures to fight my boredom.

The brochure that really caught my interest was about a car loan. I know that I still don't have any job at the moment but I really believe that I should really learn more about car loans so that I could find the car loan that is right for me, cheap monthly payments with little interest.

I've learned that there are many types of auto loans. There are loans for new cars, loans for used cars, and a loan to refinance a current car loan. But there are still so many things for me to know. Good thing that I'm still young and I have enough time to prepare for my dream car. I better start learning more about car loans then.

I Want To Protect My Home

Just last night I heard a gang war going on outside my house. It was around 2 am when I heard teenagers screaming and throwing stones at each other. It was an awful experience and what made it worst was that some stones were falling on our roof too...

My God. Why on earth did my father buy a house & lot in this neighborhood? Because it's cheap? Well it has good reasons why it's cheap, it's located in a bad neighborhood. I'm constantly am awakened at night fearing that one of those gang members will break in and steal something. And where there are gangs, vandalism is something very common.

What I need right now is a homeowner's insurance. I want to feel safe all the time even when I'm out of the house. I want to be assured that even if I return to my house that has burned down to the ground or vandalized by some stupid gang.

Also if I want to move out from this bad neighborhood I would need a homeowner's insurance to be able to get a mortgage loan so that I could have that dream house for me and my family in a safe and peaceful neighborhood.

Brownies & The SMS Solution

My mom has a friend who sells these amazing brownies and I have to say that they are heavenly! The Brownie is generously sprinkled with these chocolate kisses and every bite is just so chocolaty. I gave some of my friends a piece and they were immediately hooked. They asked me where they could buy these brownies and I told them that my mom's friend had no store and her products are only sold by word through friends.

I was thinking that the world shouldn't be deprived of these brownies and I thought of ways to reach a lot of people about her products at a very affordable cost. what came into my mind was Cellit Mobile Marketing. With Cellit my mom's friend could reach a thousand or more people about her delicious brownies through people's cellphones. In this day of age almost everyone has a cellphone so text messaging is the way to reach your potential customers.

Cellit also has the amazing sister website House4Cell, a great way for real estate agents to send property information directly to the cellphone screens of their home buyers that are subscribed for them. Pictures can be sent and home buyers can just call, fax, or email the real estate agent for more details through the links provided.

Cellit Mobile Marketing is truly revolutionary and its services are centered on smaller clients like my mom's friend. I'm sure that Cellit will make her business boom and it wouldn't be long till she opens up her own store specializing in deserts and then she could use the services of CouponZap, where she could hand out free coupons to potential customers. And who wouldn't like free stuff right so using mobile marketing is an excellent way of advertising. It's effective, cheap, and it's loads of fun.

I can see it now, people talking of brownies after receiving an SMS about it. I should really talk to my mom's friend soon so that we could be partners. I'll be her advertising manager hahaha.

A Sweet Relationship

Yesterday when I was going home I noticed these two people in the seat in front of me. One was an older gentleman and the other was a young boy (who I've heard was in 4th year high school). They were kind of sweet to each other and I know that they had a special relationship. The boy was kind of sleepy so he rested his head on the man's shoulder and the gentleman placed his arm around the boy's shoulder. They looked so comfortable with each other.

But wait! Before you get the wrong idea and think that they are having a perverted/pedophile kind of relationship let me clarify that these two have a father and son relationship. I had you going there didn't I? Well I at first had the same impression and said to my self how sweet in a lovers kind of way. The young boy was actually good looking so I first thought that the older man was his sugar-daddy hahaha!

But with all that out of our system, I kind of envy the kind of relationship they have (father and son ok?). They really are so close to each other. They're more like of best buddies rather than a paternal & child image. I wished that I had the same relationship with my father so that I could easily express what I feel and just feel safe and comfortable. But I had convinced myself that that wouldn't happen. I'm the kind of person who hold grudges and it's a negative attribute that I have. I had a very bad childhood because of my father who was very abusive. For me he cared more for the things that I accidentally broke as a child than me that is why I hate him. Right now, our relationship is kind of neutral. No hate, but I don't love him too. The respect is there though...

The Blogger Addict

I went down to school today because I had some unfinished business and who do I have with me today? No other than my handy dandy laptop. I didn't want to miss out on the juicy blogging happenings hahaha!

Last night (or a few hours ago) I slept at 2:00 am since I decided to blog hop on all of my blogging friends' blog and boy it was very time-consuming but very fun too! I had seen new updates and learned new amazing stuff from their blogs. I would like to blog hop to their pages every day but I guess that my sanity won't handle it hehehe.

But yeah the Blogger Addict (that's me if you haven't noticed yet, Lol) needs to be comfortable too while blogging. Sure they say that laptops were meant to be used on laps but it's just so uncomfortable and I don't want to bend my back since my back is slouched already hahaha! I made a little blogger space for myself in my room. I set up a nice desk with a chair (that keeps my back straight) and good lighting to avoid blogger eye strain hehehe. ^_^

Oh well, if I'm an addict then I should be addicted in a good and productive way hehehe. To all my fellow blogging addicts, aja! Continue our pursuit for blogging happiness, Lol.

Thank God for Online Phone Cards

For many people out there who needs to make international calls on a daily basis (may it be for business reasons, for calling your loved ones, or simply just to fight boredom) they have one common problem: the tremendous amount that they would have to pay when the telephone bill arrives.

But thank God that prepaid cards were invented. With an online phone card one could save up to 80% or more over regular long distance providers like AT&T, Sprint, and such. You can choose from a variety of phone cards that are suitable for you and the call that you are going to make at a very cheap price. Buying cards online is not only quick but you are also ensured of great voice quality too! In this era, technology has sure protected the integrity of family ties and close bonds with people by making sure that people stay connected even if they live far away. That is why we all should be thankful that we already have an online phone card which we could purchase anytime of the day and immediately.

So if you are interested in buying an online phone card you might want to check out Phone Cards Avenue.

David Archuleta - When You Believe



Ah! It's already Mariah Carey Week on American Idol and David Archuleta has once again pulled it off with a great song! He really picked a perfect and challenging song, When You Believe. And the judges would have to agree with me that David did a great job! Singing a girl's song is very hard, what made the song more challenging was that this song was not sang by any ordinary girls they were sang by two divas, Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston!

Wow is all that I could say! And David is always smiling and this is one great factor why America would vote for him as the American Idol 2008. What makes David a star are the following ingredients... [(smile + lips) x cute factor + amazing voice] = A Certified Star!

I can't wait for him to sell his album and tour the world! Go David! Oh man! I think that I may just have a serious case of ODD! Obsessive David Disorder! Hahaha!

Mac Games and More!

One downside that I find when using a Mac is that it has a small variety and array of games to choose from. I'm quite of a fantasy RPG player so finding Mac games for a gamer like me is quite hard! Good thing there are sites like macgamesandmore.com which offers not only games but freeware and other mac softwares for you to download for free! Yup you heard me, for free!

So if you're a hardcore gamer and has just switched or just bought yourself a great Apple Computer then Miss teri tale for mac and Chuzzle for mac are just some of the games that you could download for free at macgamesandmore.com!

Value of LifeLock

What's in a name? Well just one's reputation, power, and social status! The name you carry is your unique identification because no two persons have exactly the same name! There would always be deviations in the spelling and pronunciation. But one thing is for sure, a tarnished name is hard to fix.

This is where the value of life lock comes in. Life Lock may just be the protection you need from identity theft! With several scammers and phishing sites we find on the internet it is no wonder if our identity is stolen and used for fraudulent acts. And who gets blamed? Us of course.

In my lifelock review I would say that life lock is a need for anyone who uses the internet because without it we are very vulnerable. Just in my e-mail alone I receive 3-5 spams a day saying that I have one 3 billion dollars or anything like that. I am quite disturbed because what if one day I get to accidentally get trapped in a phishing site and all my private credentials are stolen... that would really be bad. But with life lock I am guaranteed that that would never happen!

Safariland

Before you think that Safariland is some outdoor park with wild animals and safari rides well you better think again. Safariland happens to be one of the best if not the best brands in holsters and accessories.

Safariland holsters happens to be the trusted brand of more than 70% of law enforcement officers in the United States alone so one would naturally agree that if the product has many patrons then it must be really good!

Safariland holsters are well designed that they can be well concealed and are used by the police and military personnel alike.

LAPoliceGear.com is the place where you could buy Safariland products at discounted prices straight from the Safariland factory!

Invincible -Christian Bautista


Song lyrics | Invincible lyrics


Christian Bautista (nope we're not related ^_^) is known as Asia's Pop Idol and by watching the movie you already know why. This is just one of the songs that I love that Christian sang.

I just love the message that the song brings. The song tells of a person that is weak in almost every way but what makes that person strong is his/her indomitable spirit. The person has the strength to always stand up every time he/she falls. That is what makes a person "Invincible", his strong will to never give up and continue to go on.

This is such an inspirational song and I just get into that reflective mood every time I hear this song. So to everyone, we are invincible! We just have to believe that we are and we will be.

5.11 Tactical Pants!

Do you guys know what one thing cops need in order for them to get out of the house? PANTS! Well yeah I know everybody needs to have pants on to be seen in public but if you're a cop having 5.11 Tactical is simply a must!

The use of 5.11 Tactical by cops and other law enforcement officers have been for over 20 years now and this isn't a huge wonder since 5.11 Tactical are very durable (good for running while chasing the bad guys) and very convenient too as the 5.11 Tactical have lots of pockets to store cop stuff like handcuffs, police badge, and what have you.

So bad guys beware! Because the cops with 5.11 Tactical are here! They show off a good fashion statement and at the same time the 5.11 Tactical enhance the safety, speed, accuracy, and performance of these hard working law enforcers!

LA Police Gear Part 2

I have recently made a post about LAPoliceGear.com and I have told you how cool their wide array of Police gears are. Their products are very durable (because they're designed for combat and all) and the price is very reasonable too.

I was looking through their product list when I found this new product that they had in store: a Blackhawk Holster. So you might think that this is just an ordinary holster well you're wrong. It has a patented SERPA lock that allows fast and smooth drawing of the gun for fast shooting and all. With the patented Blackhawk Holster you are assured that you can have a quick response when bad guys are around.

Plus the design is very nice and as the lucky recent owners of a Blackhawk Holster has said and I quote, "This is the best of the paddle holsters out there." I have dreams of being a cop someday and I hope that I could wear one of those complete police gear. But if ever I'm a cop, I know where to shop!
