First SMS-enabled Blog

Very interesting, using mobile marketing, to market your blog. Indeed something new and innovative by the people of Truemors.com and golive mobile. A super blog future was what the owner, Guy Kawasaki, one of Apple’s original fellow wants it to be. This is for user to post rumours, factoids and other relevant gossips they have via SMS, voice calling, email and traditional web forms.

The goal is to enable users to send text messages and have it appear in the blog immediately, like real time posting. Not only is it fun, it is so cool, to see one’s texting live. When the campaign went life, Truemors became the hottest site overnight and immediate you can see the traffic going way up. Did you know that Truemors even prompted a Wikipedia entry..!

I see great future with sms marketing, what about you..??

It’s Simple, He Cares Enough

I read in the local papers today about how someone had written about it being an insult to spend 4 – 5 million for a new municipality building for the town councilors. Another customer of mine .. has been raising alot of questions during the town meeting .. but they wanna discredit him by saying that he is crazy.

People donch just speak up because they wanna make noise.. or become famous in the town.. ! Ppl speak up .. simply because they are enough. And although irate at times.. with this town… i donch speak up.. because i’m only on borrowed time…and borrowed land.

Protecting Your Loved Ones

My grandmother used to say that if you love your family or love anyone, you will have to plan for their future and take care of them in case anything were to happen to you. I know she is right because during my younger days, i’ve seen relatives and school friends whose parents died all of a sudden and left them with nothing at all .. to cope with facing the future without them, was really heartbreaking. I know of some who couldn’t even afford to pay for the funeral of the loved ones.. and had to literally get social welfare to help.

So as soon as I started to work, i bought insurance for myself, in case i leave my mum behind and she had nothing to fend for herself. But when I gave birth to my daughter.. the need to increase my insurance was even more important.. because what if she was left behind.. to fend for herself..?? So yes, I love my daughter too much to even let her go without any money to help her through life.

Any smart person would definitely buy not only life insurance right..?? If one owns a car, you’ll have to compare car insurance and get the best quotes and if you own a home, you’ll have to make sure you get some good and
cheap home insurance as well. Protecting yourself and your family is my motto.

Simple Woman Love Simple Things

I’m a very simple person.. and simple stuff makes me smile. My FIL sent this over by email. And i’m sure.. it’s because it amuses him.. that a few japanese men can play so well.. with their banjos and violin and guitar.. and singing a country song. I really donch ask for much and i’m easily pleased.

Annoying Traditon

A fleet of cars just passed by our store… and all horning happily away..! This happens almost every Saturday.. when you find some suckers getting hitched..! Yes.. they get into the car.. from the church to wherever they are gonna have the reception.. and they horn away. At first i found it cute.. but after 7 yrs.. i find it really annoying.. especially if you have a sick spouse.. and a fussy brat.. who insist on camping in the store.

What annoys you .. where you are living..??

Quality Teak Wood

Teak wood furnitures are very popular not only at our home but commercially as well. I fell in love with Teak Wood furnitures because the hotel that I used to work in uses them where the pool deck is. I used to wonder with folks coming out from the pool all wet and then sitting on those pool chairs made from wood, wouldn’t the bench/chair rot easily. Well.. it looked like my worries were unfounded because teak wood are the most durable and they never rot for centuries due to the fact that it can withstand any outdoor weather condition, it is the best investment one can buy.

So if you are like me and love BBQs during summer and the fall, teak garden furniture, are not only beautiful but certainly the highest quality of wood furniture you can find around the world. And of course you can buy any wooden benches that are real cheap.. but everytime the weather turns cold or when it starts to rain.. you’ll just have to run out . .and bring the benches into the basement to save it from being ruin by the rain. Fortunately, for us.. our teak benches need not make us run in and out of our house .. when the weather is not favorable. Because like i said.. teak is weather resistant due to the natural rubber content and a high oil content in it and acts as a built in natural water repellent. And when it is exposed to the sun, it activates natural oil. So if you are looking out for good and long lasting outdoor furnitures, be it teak chairs, or tables, or anything, you can count on teak.

Studio RTA

We don’t have a Ikea in our town, the nearest one is in another state and even with online buying available, they only ship to their warehouse in the city and that’s 4 hrs away from where i lived.

I need a pink office chair badly because the one in the our store is giving up on me. No one in town carries a pink one but studio RTA furniture does and at a price reasonable too. Free shipping is offered, what better deal can one get..!

Girls Best Friend

I’m sure you’ve heard that Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, there is even a song for it, if i am not wrong. As for me, i never liked the solitaire ring, i’m into a band of diamonds, it’s looks alot nicer, to me anyways.

This anniversary, I was hinting about getting one and showed a catalogue full of diamond rings to the husband. I hope he gets the hint. And I also made sure he knows i don’t like those solitaire diamonds, you see men can be quite blur when it comes to buying jewelry for their girlfriends and even wife of a thousand years.

Cough & Cold Medication not for young children

Ok.. mummies and daddies, grammies and grampies out there.. listen up..!

DO NOT..! give your young children cough and cold medication as the products pose serious health risks.. US Health Officials said.

“children under the age of two should not use decongestants and those under age six should not be given antihistamine medicines.”

The FDA wants warning labels to be added to prescription and over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, cautioning parents about potential overdose risks for toddlers. So why is cough and cold medication relentlessly marketed when it’s not safe or effective? So what do one use.. if cough and cold medication is not safe..?? Doctors advised parents to give their children lots of fluids and wait out the course of the cold in place of giving children cold medicines. Children under two might suffer serious adverse side-effects if given cough and cold medicine.

Ok.. no more cough and cold medication for our Chloe..!
