A Wedding At 5AM

Very recently, my wife and I were invited to a wedding of a local TV host/reporter. The strictly all-black attire is not quite surprising to me because I’ve seen some weddings with an all-black motif. What astonished me a little bit was the schedule of the wedding which was to start at sunrise: 5-AM.

I also heard a wedding or two that started at five in the morning. Nevertheless, having to attend a wedding like that myself was rather new to me so I needed to make a lot of adjustment especially due to the fact that I have a very irregular sleeping habit. Another problem with this schedule had been the absence of a helper to take care of house chores before we go out.

My wife and I both agreed on doing some adjustments so that we could at least enjoy some hours of sleep instead of the original plan to just stay up until five AM. Two days before the wedding, we made sure that everything that had to be brought to the wedding was already prepared. The night before the wedding, my wife prepared the food for our two huge dogs. Additionally, I imposed upon myself the discipline of not facing the computer longer just for that particular night.

I am not the kind that could go to sleep immediately when I position myself in bed but I needed to try.

It’s a good thing that right after setting the alarm at 3:30 AM and around thirty minutes of TV time, I snoozed. Still, we woke up at one in the morning and failed to go to sleep again.

For many, a problem like this is not quite a problem at all. For those who could hardly get up early and start for the door and leave to attend a sunrise wedding, the solutions I mentioned might help. But then again, there are other things that could work according to one person’s preference, attitude, habits and biological clock.

House Help Needed

We needed to let go of our helpers, one for disciplinary reason and the other to grant his desire to seek better opportunities in a capital city. They had been with us for so many years that we treated them as family already, hence, we needed to do a lot of adjustments when we realized that acquiring workers we could trust has been one of the most difficult things to do.

We have been so used to having people to work for us for the longest time. Why not hire? Well, we’ve tried to pass the word around that we were in need of at least one helper. The problem that I see why someone refuses to work for us is our “two huge bullmastiffs.”

People are scared of our dogs!

In this generation of high technology and modernized world, we can actually do without a helper. For the mothers, they can teach their kids to take part in the house chores and they can do it with much fun.

In addition, there are many websites these days that can teach how to take care of big dogs, where to go for a certain need, and how to cook almost everything.

It is a known fact in our society that helpers are indispensable because we rely on them to carry out extra chores for our family. Nonetheless, absence of a house aide can train family members to become responsible, creative, diligent, wise and resourceful.

Networking Is My Business

I have been managing my own business for years. Having a rice land and a fishpond can be a very lucrative industry however, there were many factors, including those controllable and beyond control, that made agricultural businesses take a downturn and from experience, I suffered much loses.

For those really big-time players in the agricultural trade, they may not have been affected at all, but for many like me who didn’t have all the highly modernized machineries to soar and make the most of the gifts of the lands, there had to be a fall back.

Filipinos are said to be good in networking. I never trusted networking before, hence my firm refusal to join this industry. When a relative from Fern, Inc. approached me, I signed up but only because I’ve heard a lot about Fern C already. My family used this vitamin C and since then, I’ve entrusted the health of my family to it. After several months, I found myself doing the business of networking. Fern, Inc. ushered me into the networking or MLM business.

Today, aside from attending to my family business which is agricultural in nature, I also enjoy doing networking. This business gave me the additional income I needed. In addition, I became more conscious of the health issues that I need to face. My networking company has all the health and wellness products that I and my family can ever trust for life.

Fern, Inc has become a multi-billion company that it is today. Because of this, I feel that my long wait has been rewarded because of the creation of its sister company which is Fern International or I-Fern.

I now have the chance to earn not just in peso but also in dollars. For your health and business needs, I advise that you visit these websites: http://www.fern-inc.com and http://www.i-fern.com

You Version

I am not a religious person. I want to say I am passionate about my personal relationship with God. For any relationship to flourish, there need to be constant communication and the many usual ways to make it grow.

Just like anybody who loves the Lord so much, my means to constantly communicate with God is through prayers. His presence is one of the most genuine and beautiful existence I could think of in my life. When I pray, it is very personal and intimate.

The other ways that I use to make my relationship with God consistently healthy is through daily devotion - that is reading His Word and meditating on it. I sing songs of praise and thanksgiving and have regular fellowship with my friends at church. The challenge comes when I become very busy to even read a verse or two of the Bible.

Thanks to the internet because there are quite a lot of devotionals that cater to specific needs of every Christian. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer as well as using my mobile phone. The nice thing about gadgets is that I could bring them anywhere and anytime I need to read to feed my spiritual hunger. Devotionals are readily accessible.

Some of the most organized and popular Christian websites that offer great reads and biblical knowledge that certainly helped me are http://www.youversion.com, http://www.cbn.com, http://www.christianity.com

There are also many websites from which you can also download free e-books like http://www.bjnewlife.org

There are a lot of websites you could go to actually for your spiritual needs. These are just a few of my favourites.

More Secure Payment Scheme

Almost all of the transactions done via the internet need some form of payment and the most usual method is by the use of credit cards. This can be very convenient but considering the fact also that there are many unscrupulous activities being done when credit cards are involved, how can you have peace of mind and trust that you can avoid being a victim of such deceitful schemes?

I myself had been a victim of credit card scam. A huge bill had been credited to my card when in fact, I did not purchase any of the merchandise ever before. What I did was to call my credit card issuer immediately and explained my predicament. I got lucky because the company was able to track down the transaction that created the anomaly.

Nowadays, most of the business transactions are being made using the internet. Eventually, credit cards will be the method of payment because of its convenience. However, there will always be hesitations when it comes to giving their credit card information to websites that are still struggling when it comes to credibility. Like me for example, I need to find a way to avail of a more secure payment scheme.

In answer to this, I started using Paypal although this isn’t the only one of this kind that you could use for your financial transactions through the net. For me though, this is by far, the most convenient and trustworthy scheme I have tried. The methodology for acquiring a Paypal account is simple and is explained clearly from their website: http://www.paypal.com
