What Do the Car Repair Shops Have in Common?

car

Some of us need a vehicle when we're living and working around from the province to the city. It saves us time and money. But then, sooner or later, that some of us need our cars repaired. We don't have to be an expert. As the car owner, we have to know what goes on with our vehicle when fixed. If your car broke down, bring it to a car repair shop. So, what do a car repair shop offers have in common? Let's find out below: What do the car repair shops have in common?

If your car broke down and carried over to a shop, they usually do these things repeated to your vehicle. Below are the lists of the most common repairs a repair shop do to your car: 

3 Ways To Find Natural Confidence

Confidence is key to almost anything you do in life. We can often feel that confidence is an emotion or state of mind, and while it is, it’s not only that. It’s also a tool. Without confidence, even a semblance of it, it’s impossible to leave your house in the morning due to how fearful and worried you would be by everything on your commute to work. Unfortunately, some well-meaning people have to deal with this reality, and it’s a psychiatric condition that requires careful, loving and attentive help to deal with.


However, even someone with natural confidence levels could use a pick-me-up from time to time. But it can also be healthier to develop natural confidence within yourself rather than having to seek someone else’s validation for it, as this can be temporary and if bound tothe wrong person, may even be disappointing.

How Librarians Can Help Tackle Fake News

It’d be wrong to fall into the trap of believing that the world is in an irreparably terrible state; by most metrics that we’d use to measure the state of the world, we’re doing pretty well. But equally, it would be wrong to think that there aren’t some significant problems that need to be addressed. One such example of these modern problems is the rise of fake news, which has become especially difficult to contain in recent years. This has been in part because of the ease in which the internet has enabled the spreading of fake news, but there are also bigger issues too.

No matter the cause of fake news, it’s clear that if we’re going to live in a democratic society, then fake news must be deleted from the narrative. The question is: how do you combat it? There’ll be roles to play in this battle from various organizations throughout the society, most notably from the government, the media, and social media networks. But perhaps the most underrated contribution will come from librarians, who are especially good at educating the public and can thus show them how to spot fake news and reduce its impact. In many ways, the issue isn’t that fake news exists; it’s that it’s becoming more and more difficult to determine what’s real and what’s not.

Dogs Are For Life, So Think On These Things Before Bringing One Home

dogs are for life

Hey, if you're thinking about bringing a dog into your home, don't do so without taking a few considerations into account first. As the saying goes, dogs are for life and not just for Christmas, or for any other occasion where you might be tempted to welcome a four-legged companion into your home.

Dogs deserve love, care, and compassion, just as much as you do. And while your dog will offer you all of those things, you need to know that if you aren't able to offer the same, then you should think twice before making the purchase.

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

If you plan for a music recording studio, one of the main essential for musical production is called DAW. So, what is DAW? A DAW is a Digital Audio Workstation, a software or program to record, edit and produce songs or musical pieces. This software program allows you to mix multiple audio clips and synchronize it based on tempo and beat.

When you're using a DAW, you can use audio effects and control it's changes. You can simply removed prior effects from the audio clip. If you change the effects, it's safe because the original audio file never changed but only the end result of the sound in DAW.

Of course, this program will not run until you have a DAW equipment which is a monitor, computer and DAW controller. But, that's another story. Until next time...

Rosetta International Agency - For Your Translation Needs

What is translation?
It is the process of translating words or text from one language to another.

Why do we need translation services?
We need translation services because we often travel in another country for businesses and greener pasture.  Some countries do not speak or have a little knowledge of English even if it is a universal language. So, when they speak in their language, we are left  with an open mouth. We do not understand what they were talking about.  While, some travelers and businessmen understand little or basic of the said language.  

What can I recommend?
I can recommend a translation agency named Rosetta International Agency.

Straight Talk on Android Phones

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Christmas is in the air. The malls are sprouting with different sales product. Last Sunday, I went to the malls for a gadget sale especially a smart phone with a smart plan.  The power of Android phones, at only $45/month for unlimited use. It is an amazing smart phone: touch screen phones, and app capable phones with features like voice navigation, camera, video recorder, music player, instant messaging, and Bluetooth®. All the apps and games you need is here. Imagine unlimited calls, text, picture messaging and web for a whole year, for only $499.00! The 411 calls are included at no extra charge.

I am talking about Straight Talk's “All You Need Plan” meets even the needs of heavy phone users with 1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts and 30 MB of web data. Honestly, I love the idea that I feel richer with Straight Talk because I cut my cell phone bill in half. Feel Richer with Android even more, you have to be crazy to be on a contract these days when you can get everything you need without one.

For more information on what these phones offer, please check out these YouTube videos: 



What Dot Com Domain I want to win and why?

This is a late entry for Ruby's DOT COM Domain with Hosting Giveaway because it will end on August 10. So, I have 2 days to complete one required task and that is commenting.

Now back to the question what dot com I want to win and why? Honestly, I want a domain for an article writing that requires a self-hosted domain. But then I changed my mind for the elementary and high school students who approached me. Now, I need help on this one because I am not familiar with the SEO thing. Can it be school assignments dot com or school projects dot com. I hope no one owns that dot com, yet. I hope that it's catchy and falls into the SEO thing.

As to why I want that domain. The reason relates to the dot com itself.  English is internet's universal language. But, what if the project and assignments are in Filipino? It is difficult for an elementary or high school students to find one Filipino language. Unless, they know how to translate through (again!) the use of internet and read between the lines. But, not all words translated to Tagalog is right. Like what happened yesterday: A mother approached me to searched for vegetables, what vitamins is in that vegetables and gardening tools. I found the answer through the Internet but it's in English. I told them to give me time to translate it, but they can't wait. Such customers but that's another story.

I want that domain to focus on elementary and high school projects and assignments translated into Tagalog. Of course, in my own words, though. I'm a copy cat, but the resources credit on every post.

I am hoping to win one of the dots. Of course, without the sponsors below, this giveaway, will not push through. A big and loud applause for them :D

Be Aware: Facebook is giving an Apple Iphone

One of my friends has shared a link in my Facebook Profile. But when I saw it, I asked her what it was. As it turned out, she does not know about it. Probably, this is some kind of virus that gets the name in your friend's list and post the link without the user's knowledge.

The link is about an Apple Iphone promotional item. It shows a photo of an Apple Iphone with a link that says Facebook: Apple Iphone Promotional Give-away. I am sorry I forgot to print screen it. I am fond of giveaways, I checked it out. But then, this is what I saw:


It's asking me to log-in, into my Facebook account. But, I am and that's weird. WAIT!! Check out the URL below:



The link shown here is http://error-facebook.com/b1/b1int/ (I remove the link, if you want to see it, just copy and paste into url address).

That is not the URL of Facebook! Whatever page you go clicking and browsing using Facebook, the url always look like this: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php? with a series of alphanumeric characters.


I think this is one of the Phising scams scattered around Facebook. According to Mashable, Facebook Attacks more Phising than Google and IRS. Read it here.

Blog for A Cause (Help for a Baby with Hernia)

I have not experienced being pregnant or have a child at this age. It was only my bulging tummy. Sadly, I can’t do anything financially to help them except by re-posting:


That’s Baby Belle 8months old. Oh, I grabbed this photo from Pehpots Make or Break blog. Of course, I grabbed the photo without their knowledge. I hope I won’t be jailed from doing that. I am only kidding, sorry I didn’t ask permission guys.

This baby is suffering from Hernia. (Quoted from Red’s post):
“A HERNIA is the protrusion of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. When a hernia is not repaired, it may become strangulated. When strangulation occurs, there is a danger that part of the intestine be caught in the hernia cutting off blood supply to the tissue. Also, when a bowel obstruction occurs, it leads to severe pain, vomiting, nausea and inability to have a bowel movement or pass gas.”
In order to raise funds for Bella’s operation, a blogger will purchase a blog review from her that costs $10. No need to worry because hers is a Page Rank 3 blog. The review consists of 150 words with 2 links (home page link) and an image of the header or screen shot of the blog to be reviewed. One link with the blog title as the anchor text and the other link are on the image. 

If you want to purchase a blog review, send an email to Ms Ruby [pehcats@gmail.com]. That includes the url of the blog for review. A reply from Ms Ruby consists of url of the post and paypal.

If you want to know more about the baby, just click -for the baby's fund donor > Bella Grace: Fund Donors page. 

If you had extra money to help and donate, please send her an email! Thank you.

An Eco-Village: Build in Sandbags and Barbed-Wires

I was blog-hopping when I saw an eco-friendly website “Creating a Better World” who wrote a widget on her left side bar that reads “Donate to Eco-Village: Affordable Eco-housing for Homeless and Low Income Families. I clicked the link and it diverted me to The California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture . They have a gallery of amazing Eco-Friendly homes that looks like a clay from the outside/exterior but when you see the inside/interior. It was fantastic and amazing! I was really fascinated by this.

The world-renowned architect was Nader Khalili who is a humanitarian at the same time. Nader was an Iranian born citizen with 9 children. He was inspired by a Persian language poet concerning humanity and these elements, “Earth, Water, Air and Fire”. He used these elements to build Super Adobe/Ceramic Houses.

How does the house made? The houses are made of sandbags and barbed wires. For further information, find more information in this website. They will not just put it there, of course they undergo studies to make it reliable and sturdy for a family to live in.

He passed away at the age of 72. If you want to know more about the founder, you can visit it here

More photos below:

The exterior
You can browse and view all of these from their website. The link is > California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture

What do you think if we have it here, built in the Philippines for the Homeless citizens? I think it's exquisite! :)

A Star On Top of The Moon

star, moon

Last night, a regular customer told me, to look at the moon because it has an amazing view. He even tried to convinced other regular customer in the internet shop to watch it, once in your life.

And so we did! It was beautiful and so amazing. I never saw like that in my entire life. Take a look at the top of the Mosque (a Muslim church). The star is like on top of the moon. The star-like is much nearer than the photo above. 

One commented that it is a Venus planet on top of the moon. Perhaps but let's hear more from the scientists. Now, I wonder if it's only in the Philippines. Most of the reactions comes from the Filipinos.

You will miss half of your life, if you don't see it! :D
