Down with Flu

I have seen the doctor twice as of yesterday and hope that my flu will heal quickly. This time round, I asked for Benadryl, a cough mixture that makes one drowsy to rest and recover quicker. Had a quick lunch at New World Park since the other places were full and I could not find a car park. Also bought Long Johns for the coming winter trip to Europe this December 2013. I just hope that the trip will be enjoyable with less bickering with my sisters. It is not easy when one does not have a choice with traveling partners but to accept those who can go with valid passports.

Back from KL

I came back from KL 2 days ago, having spent a day in Johor Bahru and some shopping for winter clothes in Johor Premium Outlets. Spent more than $500 there for a single day of shopping before driving back to Senai Airport. JPO is on the way to the airport in Kulaijaya. This is one of the best shopping deals I got and there are no regrets. Today is Monday and I subscribed to Hell in a Cell pay per view on Astro for WWE. Just blog here for a short while before resuming my viewing of Hell in a Cell with John Cena back from surgery.

Going to JB

I shall be going to KL with my colleague tomorrow and then fly to Johor Bahru from KLIA LCCT via Air Asia for the day's meeting. Just rented a Hertz car for about $150 per day, to drive to the site for the meeting. I have booked the plane tickets last night and paid using my credit card. Compared to Firefly, Air Asia is about $1,000 cheaper than the turbo propeller plane that is much smaller by comparison for the same destination. The flight is scheduled at 8.25am on Friday and we have to wake up much earlier by at least 3-4 hours in advance so as not to miss the flight and to beat the rush hour work traffic jam in KL.

Just Got Paid USD25.00

This morning, as I woke up, my client had paid me USD 25 into my Paypal account. This is for blogging work done 2 days ago. I still maintain and update my several blogs for revenue now and then. The income is just a bonus as writing online has been my passion since August of 2006. I love my work, and virtual assistance offered now and then as potential clients email me for the quotation. Now I get paid USD50 monthly for commenting on a high traffic blog in the U.S. and get to read well written articles by journalists and people of stature, those who are already successful in their own rights. This brings more authority and credibility to the many blog posts and articles.

Women's Diamond Bangle

Women’s jewelry is often saturated with insipid and unsophistically designed forms that are paraded as glamorous and stylish pieces. Some of the most unrefined designs in many jewelers’ selections are women’s diamond bracelets. While several jewelers fill their showcases with gaudy and brazen pieces, the master craftsmen at Avianne & Co. have over the past twenty years developed an exquisite gallery of elegant and refined women's jewelry whose designs are based on traditional principles and an extensive design process that pushes those principles to their boundaries.

The New York City-based Avianne Jewelers have used their decades of experience to come out with an extensive array of fine diamond jewelry. The newest addition to their constantly expanding collection is the women's diamond bracelet, made from 14k white gold and brilliantly cut diamonds with the 4 'C's taken into careful consideration: carat, colour, cut and clarity. You can check out their blog at Avianne & Co. Blog for more information.

Unlike their competitors, the jewelers at Avianne & Co. aim to design and produce the most exciting and original pieces in the industry. They also offer custom-made pieces with designs shown for your approval before casting into actual tangible jewelry. Their clients include celebrities with the likes of the flamboyant Nikki Minaj, amongst others. Coming from a humble background, Nikki has certainly made good and made a name for herself as one of the most well-dressed personalities in Hollywood. She has a matching diamond bracelet jewelry for any special occasion like being a former judge at the eponymous American Idol 2012 season.

I love her fashion style, what more with matching wigs of various colors for different settings that brings out her beauty. Diamonds are a girl's best friend for sure, and matching some sophisticated genuine diamonds with your clothes will bring out the elegance and haute couture in any person.

Maintaining Blogs is Hard Work

I just came back from KL last night, dropped by my parents' house to collect some letters and went back home to my apartment for a good rest. And this morning, here I am blogging again to refresh my blogs with new content. My working life is colorful - lots of traveling and seeing places with the benefit of working at home, either in KL or Penang. Mind you, maintaining blogs is certainly hard work and not cut out for everyone. I have seen active blogs die out naturally because there are no more sponsored posts to take up and maintaining them is just too expensive and not worth the time and effort.

Planning for our Retirement

When we retire, hopefully our retirement years will be golden and not woeful having to beg from children or worse still, beg in the streets. We will have abundance with more than enough to last a lifetime and with some leftover for our next-of-kin. Therefore, the important question is this: Are you planning to retire soon?

According to StatisticsBrain, only 18% of American adults are confident they will have enough money to retire. In 2013, an estimated 24% of working American adults postponed their retirement.

As for me, I will have many more fruitful years of working productively in a home office before I call it a day and retire down the road. This is when I can look back and be satisfied that I have planned early for my retirement and started saving up as much as I can for a life of peace, quiet and abundance. Your retirement has to be planned early and not do it at the last minute.

If you have children, then good for you! They could be an asset provided they contribute financially for your upkeep and take care of you in return. However, most parents won't burden their children with monthly allowance to be given to them and rather strike it out on their own. They will continue to work hard as long as they are able to keep up with the pace and momentum.

More Opportunities

Today I have 4 more opportunities to blog for revenue. Now busy with blogging and writing as I take up those opps. You have to be really diligent and determine to see through that the opportunities are taken up and work at them for your monthly income. Google loves fresh content and will rank any page or website higher if they are frequently updated with new unique content. Earning money is never easy peasy, otherwise everyone on the streets will be carrying a genuine Prada handbag and have lots of money in their bank accounts. You have to plan and work at it day by day and look for opportunities as they come. You can milk the internet and use it as your cash cow.
