Edcel.net – mind games

but still working. I have to do my tasks as fast as I can so I can have something to show to my employers. Darn it, I’ve been too exhausted because of photo commitments.

As of now, I’m working my ass off for finishing my jobs online.

Companies have found different ways to promote their products especially when it comes to signboards that you see everyday. However, because of how busy we are, we find it hard to focus ourselves into reading different flyers and other paraphernalia that is being sent.

This year instead of mailing out that same old promotional product – try using Safety Magnets. Safety Magnets promote by combining your business or organization’s logo, contact information, or business card with clear, easy, and meaningful directions for what to do in common medical emergencies (CPR, Choking, etc.) – now that’s a message that’s not likely to get thrown away. Because of this, people will be able to read through valuable information that they can apply and keep in mind.

February has been declared as the American Heart Month: What better way to promote your business than Safety Magnet’s Heart Attack & Stroke Warning Signs -or- CPR Steps Peel and Stick Business Card Magnets?

You can browse through the Safety Magnets store and find a good signage for your business.

For a limited time, receive 50 FREE magnets with your order of 100 or more.

Also, available is the Safety Magnets Offer including Memo Boards, and products in Spanish. There is even one for Dog CPR. As stated by customer testimonials, we have to be alert and find value in everyday letters.

Sunday became my second time to be a godparent. I attended a seminar ( a long one) to be educated on the responsibilities of being a second father to my colleague/next-door housemate’s son who’s just 3 months old.

the family.

It was a mass christening and when I saw the other babies who were waiting in line, I couldn’t help but compare ourselves to them — I’m talking about the parents and other relatives. They were all well-behaved and prim while we were too unruly. If a priest came up to us, he would surely scold us for being too noisy a bunch.

Watcha looking at?

It makes me wonder if it’s because of the lifestyle of the business process outsourcing industry; working in a call center makes you more flamboyant (haha — so gay a term to use) showy and loud. Liberated minds unite and non-liberated ones get corrupted. I don’t even know which profession is more indecent aside from the indecent ones, of course.

I wonder how baby Luke will be when he grows up with his godparents – me included.

It makes you wonder what sense the mother had to get these rowdy colleagues/friends as godparents. But somehow, she was able to find some good use for us aside from giving baby Luke new gadgets for Christmas.

Check the blog of an unconventional mother, trying to make ends meet while dishing out funny anecdotes here and there at blueandgraymilk.blogspot.com. You can read through the reasons (sane ones) on what baby Luke can get from us.

Good luck with this blog Ched, this time, let it last longer than 6 months. While you’re at it, you can check out Phlegmy’s blog at angdabawenyangukuk.blogspot.com.

It was a good day albeit a tiring one. I got to practice and play with my DLSR again; but the blurry shots are still there.

I’ve always been particular when it comes to the type of internet service that I get. I wish to get the best package available so I won’t have to worry about working on a bad connection. I’ve read an article once in Reader’s Digest that one of the things that people get stressed about fast is slow internet connection. That was a couple of years ago; for sure the ratio has increased knowing that this is what we are breathing in nowadays.

It’s upsetting to have slow connectivity that’s why it’s best to stop waiting and get going in making sure that we keep up with the times. We can do more online and also save time. DSL is now the new dial-up. If we waste precious minutes every time we want to pay a bill, or download from iTunes, how many hours of wasted time does that add up to over a year? The Internet we rely on so much in our everyday lives taunts us with blank screens and progress bars inching along noiselessly. We’re losing productivity at a time when we can least afford it.

Charter has come up with a good High-Speed internet plan for 19.99 which is really awesome as you can get your much-needed speed to access so many things online. Add the company on Charter’s Facebook page to learn more updates on their promotions and other marketing opportunities.

It’s called multitasking but seriously, anybody can just come up to me and mug me and I won’t even fight back. Sleeping anywhere has been a skill that I learned out of the busyness that’s been happening and I’ve become an expert at dozing off anywhere, anyhow.

I amaze myself at these moments when I have to be awake despite handling two full-time jobs and other sidelines to add to my cap. Put me in a chair, I’ll find a way to snooze off; just don’t make me stand as I might fall.

Where has discipline gone off?

I feel like I’ve been scammed.

When I got home from the office, I figured I’d drop by the Ayala Center Cebu mall and find a better barber shop in order to have my hair trimmed down. 120 pesos was already fine considering the facilities and the place.

I told the barber to make my hair look clean. At first everything was okay, the service was good and had class. In the middle of it all, he asked if I’d like to have some hot oil done. I said yes, thinking that it was just part of the package since an acquaintance told me the shop is good at taking care of their customers. Prior to the hot oil, he told me that I should wash my hair first so we went to a basin and had it shampooed.

Afterwards, they put my head in some weird looking helmet spaceship device where hot air just blew around inside. I was on a high because I got some slight relaxation since the staff also did some basic massage on my arms and head. It was a first for me to get pampered like that. Being the ignorant one, I just completely surrendered myself to the barber giving me all the much-needed service they could provide.

I was even willing to give 100% as tip for the nice treatment. Boy was I treated for sure. When everything was cool, I went up to the counter and my jaw suddenly dropped when she informed me of the bill.

Cashier: “Hi Sir, that will be 920.”
Me: “920?” — (wtf?)
Cashier: “Yes, for the hair treatment.”

I’ve been had! I thought I’d only pay for the hair cut and the other services were already part of it. I tried to make the face — the shocked, jackassed face — but I was already a veteran on these instances so I was able to conceal the expression.

Well Ed, that’s what you get for not bringing a girlfriend with you in places like these. You’d suffer the consequences of not having a second opinion. I felt too vulnerable a customer to them and they sure were able to milk some money out of it.

But it’s not their fault. Heck, they could even dye my hair blue and I wouldn’t even feel a thing. Still, I felt like I was duped. I’m not a celebrity or a rich kid that I have to maintain a certain image for other people to ogle or talk about. Ayayayay.

It would’ve been good if there was a big event that I had to participate in like a party or anything of that sort but come to think of it, a thousand bucks (including the tip) still won’t do the trick just for a meager hair cut. My head feels good but my pockets aren’t.  Arrggghhh.

In the end, I just walked home in order to save more cash and just skipped dinner altogether. But I did myself another favor and bought some ice cream to calm my senses from spending too much. All the stress came back to me on the walk home. Sigh.

It’s going to be long days of instant noodles and hanging rice for me.

I’ve been planning to get a plan for a new phone just because I’ve been spending more for the communication these days and it has been eating up my prepaid credits.

I’d like to get a new gadget so I can take advantage of having the internet at the palm of my hands. I can surf anywhere and keep in touch with my contacts online. Boost Mobile is launching the qwerty flip SANYO Incognito™ with the $50 Monthly Unlimited Plan and we need help creating buzz!

With EVDO capabilities and a full QWERTY keyboard, I can connect with my friends and business partners to share content (texts, multimedia and the like),

The SANYO Incognito SCP6760 has price point of $129.99 (excluding taxes) with free shipping when purchased through the required link, but I want to get the unlimited Plan for $50 Monthly, no contract required.

With features like 2MP camera with VGA camcorder, music and video player, enhanced web browsing SANYO Incognito™ pairs perfectly with the Boost Mobile $50 Monthly Unlimited plan which offers unlimited talk, text & web with no contract.

It seems really tempting to get one for myself for business. Maybe soon I’ll get my hands on the mobile device.
