While looking for tips at Better Homes and Gardens’ website about what colors are best for decorating a home, I found this mini quiz and thought I’d find out what’s the color of my personality. It turned out that my color personality is: Green. Yay and that is actually my fave color and the result almost fit perfectly my personality!

Result: It sounds like the hue you most relate to is green — the color most evocative of nature. Adjectives such as kind, gentle, and contemplative likely describe you. You enjoy being involved with your neighbors and coworkers, but you also require plenty of time to yourself to recharge. You are social yet introverted, and modern but not trendy. Surround yourself with your signature color to create a restful, soothing environment. From sage to hunter, green can work well in virtually every room of your house. Use it generously to create a haven you’ll love coming home to.

When you have a pet, protecting your animal against fleas and ticks come with the territory. These pests can not only make your dog miserable and invade your house, but they can also cause health problems such as anemia, skin allergies, Lyme disease, and other infections. Various products exist to keep your pet free from fleas and ticks, including Frontline Plus, K-9 Advantix, and Advantage. Each of these medicines is water-proof, but you should bathe your pet before the application and then wait for several days afterward before allowing it to swim or bathe.

Frontline Plus has two active ingredients, fipronil and (S)-methoprene. These kill flea eggs and larvae. With Frontline Plus, you apply the medication once a month to protect your pet from fleas and ticks until the next application. Frontline works to eliminate adult fleas within 24 hours and ticks within two days. It will also effectively destroy lice in about 48 hours.

Although Advantage will eradicate fleas and lice, it does not address ticks. Advantage has only one pesticide, possibly reducing its effectiveness. With Advantage, 90 percent of all fleas die within 12 hours of application, whereas Frontline Plus kills 100 percent of adult fleas within 18 hours and 100 percent of all ticks within 48 hours.

Made by Bayer, K-9 Advantix treats fleas, ticks, lice, and mosquitoes. Like Frontline Plus, K-9 Advantix contains two pesticides. However, these pesticides are stronger than the ones used in Frontline Plus. In fact, K-9 Advantix is lethal to cats, and children should avoid your pet for several days after an application of K-9 Advantix.

With all three medicines, you should not administer them to dogs under eight weeks old, and you must choose the dosage amount based on your pet’s weight. You can also give Frontline Plus to pregnant and lactating dogs.

So what’s with that number for? Oh well, that would be my car plate number in the future if I will have my own car. If that isn’t possible then I guess if I’ll have my way I’d ask my mom to have our car number plates personalised just like my sister Joy’s plate number. I think it’s cool to have one since these days; almost everything can be customized so I think why not our plate numbers as well? Jen, obviously is my name while 116 are nos. 11 for my birth month while 16 is my birth date.

I know having a personalised plate number would mean additional expense on our part but I guess it doesn’t matter since our plates will be unique and can be identified much easier. If putting my name of the plate number is kinda cheesy, I know I can think of another a plate sign that will make it personalized. What about JAL 116.. hmm sounds good too, eh

Anyway, personalising number plates has long been popular not just here in our country but in many countries as well. Having one means giving your vehicle a more personal touch like putting your name or any significant word or phrase. It can also start up a conversation when a friend or someone sees it.

We used our van going to the church this morning and we kept on whining because it’s hot inside eventhough the aircon is on. Yay, so we had no choice but to open the windows to let the air in. My bro needs to have it check asap since its uncomfortable to drive w/o ac on. Mom also dreamed of owning a new vehicle and this time she wants a Crosswind. Not so sure where she will get the money to buy but for sure she has some savings that I didn’t know.

Yey, I hope by next year we’ll have a new vehicle already (keeping our fingers crossed). I guess my bro would want to have it customized as well. He’s been seeing nice tail lights, dash kits and truck grills on his friends’ vehicles and I know guys love to dress customized their cars.

Business owners are always looking for a cost-effective, budget-conscious method of promoting products and services to customers. What’s one of the most valuable tools in the armory of advertising options? Postcards. By applying a few guidelines, you can make your postcard campaign as effective as possible.

Keep designs simple and economical. Elaborate layouts, graphics, and designs rarely cause response rates to jump. An elaborate design should only be used if your business is a graphics business. Postcards are meant to be read at once, right after being pulled from the mailbox. Getting the message across clearly will help avoid losing a reader’s interest. Points that are made and read quickly are more likely to generate a response.

Postcards aren’t meant to seal the deal for you; they are supposed to boost the level of inquiries that you receive. Start your message with the benefits of your product or service and then move on to contact information to perk the customer’s interest. When it’s time for postcard printing, make yours look like it came from a friend and not a business. Pleasant, friendly messages generate positive reactions as opposed to blatant advertisements that people tend to toss in the trash immediately.

Always mail postcards First Class to show that you’re willing to spend a little more to acquire new customers. Postcards delivered mid-week, on Tuesday or Wednesday, are more likely to be seen as these are the lightest mail days. Monday is the heaviest delivery day, so do your best to avoid delivery on Monday. By using the right mailing list, you will reach your target audience more effectively. Mailing list brokers can assist you by providing a list of people who have requested information on products or services that are similar to yours. By applying these simple guidelines, your postcards will lead to a surge in top-notch leads and business growth.

Ok here’s my SIL once again, she’s been bugging me to get a health insurance since last year and all she can hear from me is NO and I don’t need it. Yeah right, I know I need it but I’m still thinking about it. Seriously, I’ve been contemplating about this for long now and actually I think I’m getting one soon from their company. I know I’m not getting any younger and since my health is not that perfect anymore so I think I better give myself a health insurance.

I know if she’ll learn about this for sure she’ll send me health insurance quotes immediately. I always wanted my money to be put in good use rather than just spending it on materials things and just saving it in the bank. I know I can use the health insurance when I get sick but that I don;t want to happen in the near future.

It’s back to school in our part of the world. This week there are some schools and univ opened but majority of students will be back by June 15, Tuesday bec. June 14 is a national holiday. I guess my nieces and nephews are ready for school already. All their notebooks and books are covered and properly tagged by their mom.

I just hope they will study hard because sending them to private school is no joke. Tuition fees are getting higher each year so in return they must to study well. Learning is universal, so whether you’re going on a regular school or studying online, always do your best. If possible try to research college degrees today for more info and to find the online school and course that you’re interested.

It was gloomy and I could hear thunderstorms this afternoon at around 4 pm and not long after the lights are flickering. I knew that the electricity will be cut off at any time and I was right. The electricity just went off for about 5 seconds and it went back but of course my internet connection is gone already.

I restarted my laptop, the router which is connected at my brother’s house next door but the net is still gone. I took off all the plugs and waited for few minutes but still no net. I’m getting impatient so instead of being idle, I just cooked our dinner, whip up some draft blog posts and did some kit designing. It was only until 9 pm that my net is back when my sister in law unplugged and plugged all the connections once again. Yay!

Wow, the rain is pouring so madly right now and it was so dark and gloomy and looks like it’s one of those rainy days that we are having. It’s been raining for many days already and there’s no doubt that summer is officially over and we need to get prepared for the rainy days ahead of us. I’m guessing that many typhoons will be coming at our country this year and I just hope that nothing like Ondoy will come ever again as it is so destructive! We should all pray for that.

My SIL and I have been talking about buying big plastic bags, a big rope and probably a  whistle just in case. I’m not wishing that we’ll ever use that during the rainy days but we’ll never know. I could not imagine or don;t want to imagine myself and my family to experience the horrible experiences that others had last year.

It’s really nice to sleep at nights when it is raining but for some raining and floods will give them sleepless nights.

I have had one of those where I just sit down and think about my future. It may seem bleak at times but I’m keeping the faith. There is also a time when I just want to venture into a new business in a swift manner but at the end of the day I realized that I might get into things that I’ll regret soon.

Just like if I’ll buy gold coins or invest in gold as an investment, I have to remind myself that I have to know the ins and outs of this trade. Though I know that gold is a precious metal worthy of an investment, I still have to research and study about it.
