Reliable Web Hosting
Whether you’re a blogger or a website designer/administrator, you and I know that having reliable webhosting is very important. Firstly you want to be able to do your blogging online whenever you want to, and for those who have company blogs or websites to take care of you certainly don’t want a potential customer to think that you didn’t pay your bills for hosting your website just because your site is down sometimes. It gets really annoying when you keep getting messages like “you have exceeded your CPU limits” or an error page about bandwidth issues.
No one wants the hassle of changing webhosts because it really is a hassle, but when you get those error message as often as we did, then you know you need a better and more reliable hosting solution. More so if the hosting company you are currently with asks you to upgrade to features you don’t need, like dedicated servers, when they don’t even know that what you are using does not need dedicated servers at all. It’s like selling you a duck when you only need a chicken to cook chicken rice. I never want to deal with incompetent people anymore.
Most bloggers are like me who use less than 10gb of space and 20gb of bandwidth, therefore even though I’m no expert in stuff like that, I’m not entirely clueless. So don’t get sucked into something you have to pay a fortune more than you should be paying. With Canadian Web Hosting, the up time is guaranteed at 99.9% and they also promise fast and reliable service with offices in Canada. Since I’m based in Canada I encourage people to try them because they can be contacted locally and won’t mess around with you. With a 30 day money back guarantee, you can’t go wrong eh? Packages start at just $3.95/month.
My Heart Warmth On This Cold Snowy Day
My heart warms on this cold snowy day even though we just had a blizzard last nite. But thankfully we didn’t lose power this time. It arrived at the post office before the storm but we were unable to get there in time. It came from Australia, from blogging friend – Charmaine Wan. Yes!!! All the way from Australia, as she had promised. I cannot be more grateful because all I wanted was a package of Sambal Tumis, but she sent so much more. How can I repay you Charmaine??
With a Christmas card as well, and the “ang moh” is called “Chris” kekeke!!
Nicely wrapped in Christmas wrappers.
In two ziplog bags.
And all these goodies inside. Not only Sambal Tumis, but also curry chicken, nasi lemak paste with assam fish and Lee Kum Kee black bean chicken. Thank you so much, Charmaine! First the pictures you sent for my quest to show Chloe the world and now these *hug* you have a heart of gold. I’ve gained so much from blogging and I’m forever grateful for all the kindness shown to me. Thank you Charmaine! God Bless You!
PS: I will update later on other packages that came in this week. Thank you all.
Congrats FF & Cooknengr !
Today, I received a comment on this blog from Cooknengr .. and knowing that he normally doesn’t comment.. i took a quick look at it.. to find out the most awesome news . . he can give me to rejoice and end 2008 with a lot of laughter and joy. You see love can happen online .. but it has to be .. like FF & Cooknengr who came to know each other online .. and work hard on their relationship… and finally tying the knot. I’m truly happy for them and proud of them for overcoming so many obstacles together to get where they are right now. Unlike some that i’ve met/seen online .. or those i know personally in this town. .where folks jump into a relationship without even knowing anything about the other person. Some I know pack and move to another country .. without planning or knowing what they are getting themselves into (Kahwin cowboy type). Unfortunately, i cannot call that love . .and in fact disapprove of it myself.
Love comes in different form. . but love needs a strong foundation. Without that strong foundation and understanding of each other, the cultural differences, you are just aiming for break up… in the future. May not be near. .but it will come. So yes.. you can find love online.. but like i said.. in any kind of relationship.. it’s an uphill task.. what more a marriage.. a relationship so in such close proximity. One needs to know not only the good .. but the bad.. and be able to accept it.. and lived with it. So here’s to FF & Cooknengr..!!! A happy and blissful marriage .. and everlasting love to 2 very adventurous bloggers that I’ve come to know for a long time. Both of you really, really made me so happy for you and boy..!! can you two keep a secret..!!!!!
Here’s the beautiful couple! I stole the picture from the groom’s website.
The groom had kindly sent the official picture last nite.
PS: Please join me in wishing the Princess from Primrose – a blissful marriage as well.. for she too got married..!!! woohoo..!!! oh you wonderful gals.. deserves the best..!!! I’m happy for you too.. Princess.
Vien’s Post
Sorry , I haven’t been posting, there is just too much to do, before Christmas. The store is constantly busy.. and quite overwhelmed when PB isn’t around in this store (if you know what i mean). Anyhow, this year .. i told PB .. that his mission is to keep his promise to Vien from United States. So here, you see PB going thru’ boxes to find the perfect fit for his mission.
I kid you not.. when i tell you he was going thru’ packing boxes.
So he found one..!! hurry..!! part of his mission completed.. but not 100% yet.
All packed to just to show Vien – Mission Accomplished. Muahahaha!!
There you go.. all done and gone into the mail ALREADY..!! UNBELIEVABLE..!!! The rest of my gifts were bought online.
Darn Busy This Christmas
Sorry, I haven’t updated for a few days, it had been crazy busy here. With Chloe in school now, she is like a social butterfly, invited for birthday parties.. after birthday parties. On top of it, I am actively raising fund for her school playground & library and supporting her school Home & School Fundraising .. with selling tickets for the Wii. So far we have sold 60 books, 3 tickets a book, so you see how busy we have been.
On the business front, it had been crazy here, everyone looking for presents for Christmas.. we never got a breather the whole week, our store is packed. And of course, there is this thing going on with the lobster fishermen in town that we are encouraged to have lobsters instead of turkey this Christmas. Yes at $3/pound.. you can’t really blame the fishermen and the owners to be upset but having said that.. the fishermen are always whiny regardless.
Presents are arriving for Chloe from all over the world and I haven’t got a chance to sort it out yet and take pictures of. The latest is from Anna in the USA .. thank you for the bento set, I haven’t had a chance to take a picture of it since we are open even on Sundays – The boss is a slave driver – i tell everyone .. hahahahha!!! I’ve resorted to using Etsy or any online store to send presents, from the Body Shop to David’s cookies etc. So if i missed out.. please don’t hate me. On the other hand, i put PB on task to keep his promise to Vien .. from a year ago, i berated him Vien, so I will have a post up .. to show you .. he even packed it up already today.. hhahahahahahah1!! be surprised Vien..!!! We never forget, just so busy .. running a business and having a kid in school. And I cannot thank my sponsors and advertising company enough for the many jobs they give me. My sincerest thanks..!! You know who you are.. 🙂
PS : I am also busy campaigning to get “The Y’arc” to move to downtown Yarmouth, to save the downtown businesses and homeowner and their interest. My submission for a move for the town council to consider their locality needs to be in by 18th, so you see I am busy.
Ad designer for Craigslist
Craigslist is like your local newspaper classified ads but on a very large scale, covering almost 50 countries. It provides the online community with free online classified ads featuring jobs, housing, personals and of course items for sale, wanted items and even has pet listings. If you’ve used Craigslist before you will know that it can getting a little boring after going thru’ several adverts, looking for what you want or need there. And if I were the advertiser or someone who is offering a service, I would definitely want to use a custom Craigslist ad designer because we all know that an ad with just words is not as enticing as one that comes with images. Proven by many surveys, a picture does a lot more to draw attention.
Currently 899 Web Design is having an Ad Design special at only $99 which in my humble opinion is definitely worth paying to get a professional to help market your business or your products. It will increase sales and definitely shout out louder than those who do not put any extra effort. Craigslist ad designer services not only include an ad custom made to your requirements, but also makes sure that you are 100% happy with the work. Most importantly, they are willing to go beyond their call of duty and will even help you post the custom ad onto Craigslist for free. Now how awesome is that..!!

Save My Boys !
Save My Boys is about a mother trying to get her boys back from Lancaster’s County’s Children & Youth Agency. It is heartbreaking to me .. as a mother myself to hear stories like that .. and more so from someone that I’ve come to know and respect in the blogging community. Jenn from Jenn.nu is pleading for everyone to help her family, her mother lost her sons (who have special needs) and she a sister.. who was all willing to be legal guardian.. as promised by these social worker.. when they were taken away .. and then denied the rights.
As a mother or a parent, I am sure you can feel their anguished and their hopelessness .. but all is not lost.. because you can help. You can help by spreading the word around.. about this case. You can help by joining their FaceBook group and letting these people know that we know what is happening. If you are a parent, a brother, a sister.. or grandparents, you can help, by just dropping by Jenn’s blog or her mother’s and leave them some encouraging words.
You need not be a US citizen to help. The internet is a very powerful tool..!!! By creating awareness on your own blog and helping to spread the word is what you can do. HELP, PLEASE..!
