Learn to Say "NO!"


Guess it's one of the important things you need in life to keep on going. 


There are times when you really don't feel like it, don't want to, have to and just want to let go of what you have in your chest, it's best to say "No!" whenever you feel like it. 

Going forward in life is a must if not an option but if you go just like that you might not make it since your mind isn't ready. You can do it later when you are prepared. Honestly, there are people who need to get this from you so they'll know where to stand and where to stop. 

It's your way of being honest, if you don't you'll hate yourself late and you don't want that. 
Trust me! I've been there myself.

Different Professions


Different ProfessionsWe all know that an optimistic would see half full glass of water, while a pessimist would see a half empty one.  

What would people of different professions and walks of life say?

A Banker would say that the glass has just under  50% of its net worth in liquid assets.

The Government would say that the glass is fuller than if the opposition party were in power.

The Opposition party would say that it is irrelevant because the present administration has changed the way such volume statistics are collected.

The Economist would say that, in real terms,
the glass is 25% fuller than at the same time last year.

The Philosopher would say that, if the glass was in the forest and no one was there to see it, would it be half anything?

The Psychiatrist would ask, "What did your mother say about the glass?"

The Physicist would say that the volume of this cylinder is divided into two equal parts; one a colorless, odorless liquid, the other a colorless, odorless gas. Thus the cylinder is neither full nor empty. Rather, each half of the cylinder is full, one with a gas, one with a liquid.

The Seasoned Drinker would say that the glass doesn't have enough (or too much) ice in it.

The Best Day - Today


Affirmation for Today 
~ I found these are they are exactly the thoughts of what I'm having right now.


Ralph Waldo Emerson has accurately said, "One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year."

Today is an important day. That problem you solve, that decision you make, that time you enjoy can shape your whole life. The way you and I ap­proach today, and each day, is crucial. Our lives are built by a series of days like today.


I discovered an affirmation that can help in living each day fully:

Live Today not Tomorrow


I was just in this thing late and thought I'll share my point of view about it. 

Like everybody else I was so depressed for a job in a while, around a year ago. I'll gave it everything to find one and I did find two at first. I didn't like them much so I left for another one. Currently I'm nearly to finish one year in this job I'm recently in. So needed by it I spent the whole time for it that I forgot myself and didn't enjoy life much. 


Some things happened and I knew that my days are few to see the beautiful things in life and oh! How much I regret this! It happens a lot right!? When we so go by ourselves and becomes salves without meaning it, forgetting about the ones who should give time to, the things who should do to out bodies and health and most importantly the time to spend for ourselves!? 

You know what's the saddest part?! 

That you know you're at the end and can't do anything but regrets cause time has gone already and you can't get that one back. It's so frustrating. 

This is an inspiring blog and I don't like wring such gloomy posts but in the same time I want you to open your eyes if you are working like a machine just like I used to do. I opened my eyes and even if it's late I want to enjoy life and whatever it left however I can. 

Starting this month I'll do all the things I kept myself away from it, I'll go with the gals, talk with my family more and go exploring the places I was having in store for free times. The right time is just now, it's can't get any better so go for it. 

I'll go in this journey to the very end and until I get 23
You should do too, just open your eyes and enjoy life before having nothing but regrets.

You Need to Do This Sometimes

Burn a CD on Windows XP Without Using Software


It's been a very long time since I wrote any posts about computer program or some of its tricks. Today I got this topic where I found it online, I sure find it handy sometimes and you can use it too, even if it's only to increase your computer knowledge.
Tips and Tricks
Windows XP comes with a builtin CD-copy feature that not many people are aware of. Although almost everyone has his/her favorite CD-copy software to stick with, it is still good to know about this CDR feature from Windows XP. You will find it very useful when you come to another PC that doesn't have a CD-copy software, and you can't just install your favorite software to it. With this feature, you can write some data or MP3 files to a CD/DVD, or erase a re-writable CD/DVD. 

If you're using a Re-Writable CD (CD-RW), make sure the disc is blank. 
You might need to erase (or "format") it before use.

Requirements: You need to enable the CD-R feature on Windows XP.

A Push to Begin


When I fail as doing something I aimed to I get really frustrated and upset. 

I think it's a normal thing since we have expectation for things we do. But it's not what we feel, it's how we remain afterwards. Feeling sad when failing is okay since you're just expressing your thoughts but staying there forever will deferentially kill you. 

Cry for sometime and write if you wish like I do then think, do you really want to stay like this forever!? without doing any progress?! You may have failed at first but how did you know you won't success if you try again?! I know you'll already hurt but giving it another shot won't be as painful as the first one, no!? 

 There was a time when I failed big time and stopped doing anything else just cause the first shot was so painful. I stayed in the lost for a long time, I did it over and over again thinking that it'll make me better and I was completely wrong since it either didn't effect much or made it worth. I thought it has to do with the stuff I'm following that I realized it was just me. 

If I'm hurting myself already why not try again?! I mean like if I did I'll gain something at the end while if I kept doing what I'm doing I'll only kill myself with no possibilities at the end. While if I keep on going I'll meet new chances I didn't expect before. 

It might be hard but it's worth the try, have you ever been in such situations before?!
Please write about it, I love to learn from everybody.

28 Tips To Write Reader-Friendly Blog Posts


Yeah! I know there have been a lot of ReBlog posts lately, but these contents are really good and worth the share. Hope you enjoy them and spread the love with your friends <3

reader friendly

When you write a blog post, who do you write it for? Is it for the search engines, potential advertisers or other bloggers in your network? No, it’s the reader for whom you write. So no matter how SEO-friendly or Ad-friendly your content may appear, if it doesn’t have reader appeal then you don’t get anywhere.

1) Grab attention with the right title; your title must achieve this within a few seconds, convincing your reader to stay on and read the post.

2) Begin with a convincing introduction; include your post’s objective and what your readers can gain from it.

3) Keep them short and informative; make sure they’re to the point, saving the reader time while helping them gain knowledge.

4) Use images to describe your post’s content; images make your post attractive, presentable and help you gain valuable extra seconds of readership.

5) Include Image Alt tags and proper image captions so that your reader can understand image relevance and connection to your article.

6) Reduce the number of links in your post; links interrupt content and distract readers. You want to retain readers on your post page, not lose them to others.

7) Break up text flow using headers and sub-headers; this helps the reader to digest bits of information at a time, instead of being overwhelmed by one long post.

8) Be sure to offer something unique in terms of content; let your readers see that you’ve done your research, and that you know what you’re talking about.

9) Stick to current information; readers are not interested in stale news or events. References should pertain to the current year as well.

10) Don’t overdo the keywords; use keywords strategically and with respect to your reader’s intelligence. Random strewing of keywords will only disgust your reader.

3 Reasons Why Many Bloggers Get Frustrated


... and what to do against it 

One reason why I have started to research and write about blogging tips is that I really don't like it when good blogs are taken offline just because the blogger became frustrated. So what are the causes for blogger frustration and what can you do against it?
Light bulb blog logo

Too few visitors

I know how it feels when you log in to your Google Analytics after a day of promoting your blog and... your visitor count is even lower than usual. Many great bloggers put a lot of work into their blogs and get frustrated if all their hard work leads to no results.

My tip: Don't give up. I know exactly how it feels when you do so much for something but you only get very little in return. I have learned over and over again that most of the online success happens over time - that could mean anything from 6 months to a few years if you can not spend lots of money on advertising. You may just be one or two work-intensive months away from the readership you want to achieve.

Believe in Miracles, Cause they Do Happen!


Yeah! And I'm telling you this out of my own experience. 

I learnt in life never ever to ask any favor from people, I'll do everything on my own no matter what it coats. Then there are times when the MYSELF just isn't enough and I wish for a miracle from my lord. 
And you gotta believe me when I say they really happen!

I know life is unfair, but it's still good. When you live in all the darkness and fight it back and at last you see the light of the beam of help from no one else but for yourself, oh boy! I can't tell you the feeling that time. It's so amazing and worth the living for.

Murphy's laws of flying


1. No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late
and need the normal delay in order to make it on time.

2. If you ARE running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within the terminal.

3. If you arrive very early for a flight, it will inevitably be delayed.

4. Flights never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in the world.

5. If you must work on your flight,
you will experience turbulence as soon as you touch pen to paper.

6.
If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest passengers.

7. Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the lavatory.

8. The crying baby on board your flight is always seated next to you.

9. The best-looking woman on your flight is never seated next to you.

10. The less carry-on luggage space available on an aircraft, the more carry-on luggage passengers will bring aboard.

Battle of Good and Bad


The life in this world has a lot to say about. 


Everybody got their own thoughts about it, this blog is full of thoughts of my own. Go on to the Personal Talk label if you wanna check some of them. You'll face many things, one of the life things that you'll deal with is people. 

And when I say people and mean like a very wide possibility and chances of everything. Their personality, color, life, way of living, effect, sound and everything else that makes a different in your life. 
A piece of coin has it's own faces, as well as all the things we see in life. 
There's is good and there is bad.

17 Very Interesting Blog Post Ideas


After you have written a few hundred blog posts, you start to come up empty on ideas. In fact, your ideas seem to be the same ones over and over again. Why not spice things up? Here are some new, fresh ideas for your next blog post:

1) At Home Did you know that rubber bands last longer when you refrigerate them? Things for around the house get a lot of traffic. That is because everyone needs help keeping their home clean and in order. Use that to bring new readers to your blog.

2) How-Tos Did you know that peanuts are one of the ingredients that make up dynamite? Giving people instructions on how to fix, build, or create something is a great way to provide useful information and really gain readers. A simple how-to guide can bring you tons of new traffic and it lasts forever!

3) Money Did you know that there are 293 ways to make change for one dollar? Money is big on everyone’s list. Making money, saving money, and even spending money are great topics for your next blog post. You have to do it too, so why not share your tips and secrets to success?

4) Writing Did you know that on average your left hand will do 56% of the typing? Writing for a blog, for work, for fun, or for profit is a huge market. If you can help people to write better, write clearer, or be more profitable with their writing then you will get a lot of new followers to your blog. After all, who is going to be hanging around blogs the most? Writers of blogs!

5) Law Did you know that sharks are the only fish that can blink with both eyes? Legal issues trouble everyone and those shark lawyers are usually not much help. If you have experience with a legal issue or just a story you can tell you might be able to help someone else out of a jam. You have to be careful not to give legal advice unless you are qualified, but you can always tell your legal stores that you have experienced.

It Takes a Lot of Courage to Change ~


Whether you had the idea of changing today or intending to do it some day, it’ll take a lot from you in order to become the new person you want.

It’s scary for many reasons, human by natural fear anything new when they don’t know what it will come out as. We do it for caution sake and to keep ourselves safe from any harm, yet it is also important to look for what’s best for us. 

Have courage to change
Changing for the better, a new person, leaving old bad habits, going somewhere far, making relation or even the things that might think they aren’t that much of a big deal needs a lot of courage from you.

You have to be strange and face the difficult with a thinking mind, learn from the mistakes and take them as advantages for you. Remember, there will be times when you have crazy thoughts but you have to be brave cause that’s what it’ll cast you to get to your dreams.

Have faith in yourself, you really can do more than what do you think and the only way to find out is let yourself out in the world and see for yourself the things you can get accomplished. Believe me, you can do it, you have the power in you =)

Revive an Act of Kindness


This happened to me one night that made me believe in people's goodness again. Sometimes when you are totally down and so like feel you had enough from people, life shows you again that there are more than what you are going through and most importantly, you're not alone.

I was going to run an errand with my sister, my mother came along with us. That place was kinda creepy for us since only men where there. Anyhow, we finished our stuff already then wanted to go to our last stop. The thing was we didn't know how to get there so we asked one of the securities there; he was kind and polite with his reply. When we knew how far was the place we were ready to go home.

After a while that gentle guy approached us and offered us a ride there. At first we were confused since it's like rare to happen these days as we believe plus he was a high rank position to do such thing, I believe it was an act of humbleness.

We agreed and I was like thoughtless and so. As we got there he said that he would take the trouble to do the thing himself but my mother was so shy for causing him more, even though she let him do it since he insisted. After some time he got back finishing what we asked him to.

Freedom of Soul


Human beings tend to grow up in a society, ever since they are kids they belong somewhere. Their family, then their school and work place, when they make their own family and so on.

People on different ages and whatever mind they have they always liked being individual. Free in others means. They like doing what they want, when then want it the way they want it. I believe having your own voice followed in something is every single person's like.

There are times when things come in the way of doing so. Sometimes – mostly in the beginning of your life – you stay under your parents who don’t allow you to do whatever you wish for learning and raising sake. Then there's the school environment where you have to do as they ask you do understand how to follow rules and apply them in your life. You work doesn't need to explain on how much following-to-the-rules you should be. So goes the rest of the places. 

Either way, everybody wants freedom. 
But if we want to know the real meaning behind this word, how would you define it?!

Standing Back Up Again isn't That Easy!


We face troubles in our way for reaching a dream, there are many things that come in the way when getting what you want, you fail, go backwards, stop, feel frustrated, have negative thoughts and stuff from that line. Yet you still want to make those dreams come true so you go back up again. But let me tell you a fact…


STANDING BACK UP AGAIN ISN’T THAT EASY!

And I’m writing and saying it out of my own personal experience.

It all starts with a desire you think will bring you happiness, bright your life and can live forever for it. Then the idea sparkles into you brilliant head, as you try to make it come true you notice many things are missing so you got for a hunt to gather them and start with your project.

At first, as you had in your mind, things seem easy just by thinking of them which shows how wide one’s imagination can be then by time passage you realize they are not what they seemed or you thought but you determination is stronger than anything else so you go on. Every time when something doesn’t work and gives an unexpected result from you, you take the other path and try something new.

All of these are okay and you’re actually in the stage of learning cause every step is like telling you what works, what doesn’t, what comes out of these tests and of course there’s the thing I always say …

Life doesn’t go on one tone ~

Like you already know that you can’t keep up like this forever, not in a negative way but more like things will change around you. You might have a bad day, it will take longer time from you, and someone might get you down, anything that will break your heart and you’ll get this-was-a-bad-idea feeling. It will, it happens, it will come and you will get down eventually (because I know I did!) and since you won’t let anything get between you and your dreams you go and stand back up again and this is the hard part!
