Gas Saving Tips for Summer Driving

I was watching a news right now that talks about the high gas prices which is more than $4 right now. And people who are planning on going for trips are changing their travel plans, instead of driving many miles , they are ended up on staying home for summer and just spend their vacation with their kids at home or going to the nearest beaches.

Some, gas saving tips and advice from Robert Sinclair Jr of AAA.
Tip#1- Tires- Vehicle and driving style makes a bigger difference in burning gasoline. As far as maintainance is concerned tire pressure is number one. So, it is best to check the tires of your car once a week or every month make sure they are pump up according to the vehicles manufacturers maintance.
Tip #2-Spark plugs-Make sure they are clean cause spark plugs are very important.
Tip #3- Air Filter- It needs to be changed like every 7ooo to 8ooo miles so it will work better.
Tip #4 Speedometer- Slow down to save gas or lower you speed in the high way to save gas.

"NO CREDIT HISTORY"

If I remember, I first had my credit card on my own name about two years ago that was when I started working. I decided to have one because I need it. Of all the credit card company that I have applied only "chase" credit center approved me with no interest rate for until 6 months. I was lucky to get one from them because it is hard to get approved for the first time because I don't have a credit history. "NO CREDIT HISTORY" is always the reason behind my application's rejection from other credit cards companies. My first credit line limit was $300. In order for me to build a credit, I used my credit card every time we buy for groceries. First, I spent $50. One month after I got a bill from "chase" shows that I owe $50. The minimum payment for every month was only $10, but I paid the $50 off. Then I used my credit card again, I spent about $100 total. I paid them off twice, so $50 each month.
Since I pay my credit card on time, they extend my credit limit to $500, few months after it reached to $1000 and now I have a credit line of $1500. There's always a balance in my credit, because every time I paid the balance off , I still use it even to spend a small amount, but I am keeping the way it is since I am still building a credit. Now, that I have already a credit history, I always get pre-approved credit card offers from our mailbox everyday but I always put them down, and sheered it because I don't need one. Though, I have a new one from my bank and I am keeping it also in case of emergency, in case I need some cash and its not my payday yet, so I can transfer anytime to my checking account and paid them off when payday comes.

Right now, I know where I'm stand when it comes to credit ratings and history. Though I don't know what's my credit rating is, but I won't worry about that as long as I know that I paid my
credit card on time beyond the minimum limit and not using my credit line beyond the limitation.

No Credit History?, Get a Credit Card then start building your Credit to have a credit history.

Useless Interview Question

While waiting for some job to do. I was browsing again, reading different articles, and I came across of an article from TechRepublic, that talks about question that were usually ask during interview which are useless...

Here we go....and let me see, if my hiring officer will ask me these question, what would I say...hmm let's start:

Quetion #1. What’s your favorite color?..are you talking to me? or is that for me, or maybe for your grade school child...hmmm
#2: If you had my job, what would you do differently? If I have your job and interviewing someone, I would never ask them about their favorite color...
#3: What are your greatest weaknesses? bored easily, like now..
#4: What’s the most negative thing you’ve heard about our company? Just tell me, what have you heard inside your company...do you think there is? i better not get into it..
#5: Anything beginning with, “If I speak with your present employer …”...."I know this is not going to happen", but if ever, they will only verify my employment status..
#6: Can you work under pressure? what do you mean? hmm I can do what ever related to my job but just don't treat me like a slave..
#7: What was the last book you read? just laughing here...nonsense question..why don't you care..
#8: Have you ever been arrested/how’s your health? oh wait...am I in the right place?. I think I am not...maybe the HR used to work by the dept of homeland and security..lol
#9: What was your grade point average? I can't remember, just look at my TOR.
#10: Would you like to sit in my chair one day?...I know it's not a literal a question...I think she wants to know If I like to a hiring officer or an HR like her. ..and my answer would be....I have to think of that...*wink*

#12: How would you evaluate me as an interviewer? hmm seems like you are a nice person but don't be offended if I'll tell you this:"I would never ask the same kind question that you just asked me, and don't ask me why..
#13: Can you tell me about a time you did something embarrassing? this is too much , enough is enough, but thanks for your time though ..

*sigh*..have you ever asked those questions above? If so, what do you think? what are your answers?

Tiny GPS Unit

As we know that GPS or Global Positioning System can help tracking people, vehicles, goods and more. I think we are only familiar of the one that our car has. The GPS for vehicles is bigger than the one that I am going to talk about. Because, it is only a tiny GPS unit that you can even put to your footwear. This tiny GPS device is very useful for your kids especially when you are going to a crowded places like malls or amusement parks, to avoid losing them

GTX Corp , developed this miniature GPS tracking device. This GPS units can be tracked live on Google Maps. That said GPS is very tiny where you can put it with your dogs collar so if your dog would get lost you will be able to find him much easier and track him via internet or Google Map, Phone, PDA, Blackberry etc. It also serve as a hidden device to track people's performance.
Actually, this tiny gadget has a lot of uses to think about like, if you are involve in a natural disaster which we hope never happens, you will be easy to find with your tiny GPS that you wore. So for me, it's more on safety thing.

Back to Chasing...

...yes back to chasing again, but I am not really sure if it starts early or maybe they will give it away at night again...while waiting...i will do some cleaning here in the house...then visiting back some blogs that visited me since my last log in here...what else...ah i forgot i havent eat yet..so gotta eat...

iWebtrack Affiliate

As we know that iWebtract from iWebtract International is capable of web tracking your visitors in your website. Now, they have an iWebTrack Affiliate Program , that rewards affiliate for good sites and referring traffic. They run a very successful affiliate program through the ShareASale affiliate network that allows them to pay affiliates $400 for each private-label sale and up to $80 per retail sale or Dashboard download.

Tax Rebates Checks Wrong

According to the Internal Revenue Service, that about 350, 000 households are not getting the $300 per child owed them as part of their economic stimulus rebate payments. They said that it was a human error and computer glitches that were responsible of the problem. But the the taxpayers that was affected of that said glitches can still get the remainder. The IRS said that they will send letters to those who missed out on the refund and that checks for the child credit will be mailed out in July. So if someone got their stimulus check already and wondering it was not the full amount as the government was promised, don't worry about it because IRS still owe you and you will get it soon.

But for us, since ours is not a direct deposit to our bank, we haven't get the stimulus check yet. Hopefully we'll get it by June..

How to Fix Our Broken Budget...

Because of the economic situation, everything goes up in price but our wages remains the same. And, I know that many of us has hard time budgeting of the little amount that we got from our source of income.

While I was browsing online, I read an article about steps on fixing our broken budget. And following are the summary:

*First steps, is understand your motivation- The writer said that budget often fails because they lack a sense of purpose.

In other words we need to have motivation on why we are doing the budget, it's not just because somebody told us.

* Know Your Numbers, meaning track all our expenses. And yes, we can not always track our expenses especially if we spend at small amount, like $ 6 here and there. And when we think of $6 is only a small amount but if we will put all we spent together, that would be a lot of money. So, I agree that we missed tracking our expenses that makes us out of budget.

*Get Real..like for example, if the budget for our groceries is like $ 200 a week, if we can we will stick to that. But for two of us only in our household, $200 groceries will last as 2 weeks.

*Find a system that works for you---Our budget our lifestyle and personality. Kung sosyal at magastos , and are always going out for party, of course you will be out of budget. And I agree, that even us, We don't go out that much but still we need to have on a budget so we can pay all the bills that we have.

*Stay Flexible---There are times that we like to spend, we like to buy a certain stuff for our self or for our household needs. But, the writer said on "stay flexible", be careful to make sure we have the money somewhere before we spend it.

Offer Tribute to Passed Away Love Ones

Memorial Day is in 2 weeks or so. It is the time to remember the memory of our love ones and friends. The time to give them tribute to show them that even they are not around anymore, they still remain in your hearts. There are many ways on giving tribute to our love ones and friends that have passed away. We can do an obituary tribute by publishing on our local newspaper. We can do that online too. At National Hall of Records, you can build a page to a friend or family member . You can also post a death notice. The Hall of Records has Free Offer Link tributes until Memorial day. Friends and relatives can go to the tribute online and post for comments. That is a the best gift you can give to them to show that you love them.

Do You Get Mad?

Has someone asked you that question? I think that's a weird question cause I know everybody gets mad. Two nights ago, while having some conversation with my co-workers at work, one of them asked me this question, Retchel, Do you get mad?, so I said...of course I do!, Do you want me to see how am I when I get mad?...and we were laughing. They said, they can't figure out if I get mad, maybe because they haven't seen me or heard me getting mad like them. Because I am not like mostly of them that complains everything, even simple stuff, you know what I mean, seems like they don't like to work...in other words, "lazy". Every single night they are bitching, because of this and that...because they don't like to do that stuff..they want to do on their own way not the residents way which is not right. I just don't want to get in trouble, I am trying to be friendly with them so I don't complain to our superior.

And this makes me think, Why Americans likes to complain? hmm what do you think?

Are You in Debt?

I think it is normal to have debt. People who do not have debt do not exist of this world. Even millionaires has millions of debts also. But you know, it is not bad if you have debts as long as as you are capable of paying them off on a certain time based on what you have promised to pay. Due to the economic problem that we are going through right now, may of us cannot afford anymore to pay off our debts. But there are some individual who are working on a company that will advice us on how to get rid of our debts. So, if you have problem managing your debts, seek some debt advice from experts who are willing to help you and get back your feet from the ground.

What is My Prority?

What's Important to You... And What Isn't:

For you, primal needs like eating and sleeping are your top priorities. You don't mind having things to get done... as long as they don't pile up on you. Your most important priorities get your attention. You are happily able to let the less important things slide. You want money to be a high priority, but you don't often get around to it.

The Priority Test

Somewhat, this is true. Sleeping is my priority,but If I have things that needs to get done on a certain time, that's my priority. Like our bills, I always track our bills, when its due, so I can pay it on time cause I don't want to pay late fees when we pay after the due date. Above all, Money is my top priority. I am sure that's yours too, and don't tell me no, cause you are lying. If you are rich, of course money is not in your list, but how come you're blogging for money? right? so you need money like I do...*wink*

Mother's Day History

Origin of Mother's Day goes back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans. But the roots of Mother's Day history can also be traced in UK where a Mothering Sunday was celebrated much before the festival saw the light of the day in US. However, the celebration of the festival as it is seen today is a recent phenomenon and not even a hundred years old. Thanks to the hard work of the pioneering women of their times, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis that the day came into existence. Today the festival of Mothers day is celebrated across 46 countries (though on different dates) and is a hugely popular affair. Millions of people across the globe take the day as an opportunity to honor their mothers, thank them for their efforts in giving them life, raising them and being their constant support and well wisher.
