I guess most of you know some scams that are circulating everywhere. Nasty individuals have no conscience in spreading scams even on text messages looking for a victim that will fall prey on their modus operandi. Others have high tech way of knocking off someone’s credit card accounts and this is alarming.

These high-tech criminals are equipped with knowledge on how to hack systems on secured areas and other money yielding companies. Due to this some are very scared to even use their credit card on online transactions most particularly on unsecured sites. I know our credit card companies are providing or exerting their utmost efforts in trying to protect our accounts. Maybe they have sought those credit card tokenization services and other valuable solutions whereby criminals will have a hard time hacking your account.

Stories of hacked credit cards may be alarming that’s why we need to be careful on all our offline and online transactions. It will be too hard to run after them when your account have been charged without you knowing. Arghhh and that is scary.

Electric power here in our has been on and off since last night because of the recent fire on a power plant.  It’s been hard since it’s never too comfortable  without any electricity plus the fact that my net cafe business is disabled because of it. I’m just taking advantage of the power right now which came back at around 9:30 pm last night. I heard on the news that rotating blackout will last till Monday next week and it’s sounds bad. arghhhh…

I was able to whip up some post and actually I wanted to finish some new tasks that I got just today. Electric power is unpredictable so I need to hurry up before it’s gone again. Yay it’s 12:41 already and I’m still up and about.

I guess you’ve already know about the recent calamities that has hit our country in the last 2 weeks. We are slowly moving on but help are still needed especially those families that literally have nothing in their hands. While some have managed to bring some few pieces of clothing while they run to safe ground during the Ondoy flood there are many who only are left with the cloths that they are wearing.

Worst is that all their appliances were submerged in thick muddy flood waters and it is awful to know that. I even know someone whose Internet café computers, networking cables and routers bec. of the flood. He wasn’t able to save them as water rises quickly. Now he’s been trying to restore some of the cpus but with the looks of it most of them will not work anymore.

I know it’ll be hard for him to invest on new net station once more but the good thing is that there are refurbished computers and refurbished cisco network products that he can look into. In this way, he can save more and can continue his affected business.

I’ve been putting off the visit to my dentist lately and I don’t know why. It may seem so embarrassing to say that it’s been many months now that I haven’t had my regular teeth cleaning. Blame it on my procrastinating manner sometimes. My dentist told me to visit her every 3 months or so bec. in that way I can have my gums and teeth healthy.

You know sometimes we take for granted our oral health but with the looks of it aside from of course we need to keep ourselves from getting a bad breath we also need to be aware of other conditions that can arise in our mouths. You might be ignoring the popping and clicking in your jaws for sometime now but it can be the cause of a TMJ, temporomandibular joint dysfunction. It can be serious but there’s this San Diego TMJ Treatment that can help align your jaws without subjecting yourself to a surgery.

I am joining this week’s meme at Ten on Tuesday 
10 Things You Want But Can’t Afford
1. iMac like that of my sister
2. L and macro lens for my DSLR
3. House and Lot of my own
4. Brand new family van
5. Travel around the world and go France to see Eiffel Tower, I even dreamed of it in my sleep hehe
6. Coach, LV and other designer bags
7. New furniture at home
8. Home make-over or  renovation
9. Buy properties and build apartments and spaces for rent
10. Endless shopping  without thinking about money

I love shopping but actually I am a very disciplined one if I can boast of that. I may splurge a little bit from time to time but I would not even dare to shop beyond my means. Sure there are moments when I just want to  shop till I drop and empty  my purse or  my savings account but my heart and my mind would not allow that to happen. I am still sane when it comes spending and saving.

I know of someone who uses her credit card for her shopping endlessly not knowing she’s already overspending not until her bills came which is up to the ceiling already. Poor girl, she even issued lots of checks that she can’t even cope in putting funds in it. Collection Agencies are already calling to her and all she can do is to hide and asks her relatives not to say where she is. Bouncing check is a illegal and she can be sued for that, fortunately she settled it our of the court already by talking to the person.

She has learned her lessons already and I don’t think she will ever do that again. We should be responsible for all our debts and we need to keep the discipline to ourselves so in the future, chances are we can apply for loans or use our credit cards again with confidence.

After experiencing the havoc of Typhoon Ondoy, I have many things that I am thankful for and here are they;
1. We are still alive and no one was hurt in our family
2. Our Toyota Tamaraw vehicle, eventhough it was stuck and would not start up was still lucky to have not been submerged in the water unlike those people whose cars was being swiped away by the raging floods. It is so sad that some cars will not be used anymore, where the engines, seats, their led tail lights and almost the whole vehicle was a total wreck.
4. The floods in our area subsides after few hours.
5. Our electric power was restored in the house after being cut off for only 5 mins.
6. Our properties were not damaged.

There are more to thank for but the greatest is that we are so alive and we Thank you Lord for that.
