How plastic surgery gets popular in the Philippines?

I just noticed that Filipinos are now open to the concept of plastic surgery. Before it was a big issue when someone made a nose surgery and a added some silicon. But after a decade especially Year 2000 these type of surgery are now not a big deal. Maybe because in Hollywood the body and nose surgery is very popular to the big stars. So why not here in the Philippines. Also because of the emergence of different popular Plastic Surgeon like Vicky Belo and the Calayan couple which is really well advertised by their model(actors and actress). Also I noticed even singers have been a fan of plastic surgery to make them more presentable on the stage their singing. oh well, I’m not against about these technology but just giving a quick buzz on what are the things happening in our mother country.

Who is George Lindemann Jr.?

I’m a bit confuse now about the fact about George Lindemann. When I try to search for George Lindemann jr I found few different results. I try to look for his name because I’m a bit intrigued on what is his George Lindemann jr. Here are the results I get.

1. A Photographer
2. A boat (I guess name after him)
3. A George Lindemann jr is a billionaire.
4. A collector
5. A professor of Environmental Studies and biology at Brown University.

I therefore conclude that the man I’m looking for is the the George Lindemann Jr. the billionaire that is the pioneer of Cellular phone. I think he’s genius by buying and selling of a company he earn his billions of dollars. I hope I could duplicate his works. (Hoping)

I’m looking for a car

I know everyone have dream to have their own car. Well it’s my dream to have one at least a decent cheap car. Here are what I’ve found out while browsing for the cars in the Philippines. The cheapest decent car you could buy are the 2nd hand box type cars and KIA Pride. But thats not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for a more decent one like a Toyota Corolla and 2nd hand Honda Car .And next to my list if I will have more funds I will try to look on Honda Civic and Toyota Vios. But of course I would not settle for these if I have more money I would buy a Honda CRV. But what are the cars that I’m looking for these are the Ford Expedition and some Lamborghini for sale. But I need to work hard to attain any of these. Need to have more income every month to have more funds to buy these cars.

I’m thinking of getting a car loan from different financial institutions like Citifinancial and from other bank that offer these like BPI Family Savings Bank and Equitable PCI Bank. But looking through their requirements it seems to me that I have to provide some impossible documents like ITR with atleast 30,000 monthly income. I don’t have any of that though because my online income are not on payslip and I wouldn’t declare it either. (I hope there is no BIR representative here) :D So I think I have to just wait for the right time before I buy my own car.

Wading though the Mobile Phone maze to find the best mobile deal

Mobile phones are getting better all the time. Not necessarily cheaper, as the mobile handset manufacturers are trying to make you pay pretty much the same price for the latest mobile phones by adding more features, making it look better etc., However, if you are not fussed about the latest handset, you can still get some really good deals on slightly older models or not so popular models. If you shop around for the best mobile phone deal, it is even possible to get the handset of your dreams by choosing the right deal. The most important thing when you choose your next phone is to compare mobile phone deals by using a comparison site and then buy, rather than buying a phone in an impulse.

One thing which you have to do at the outset is to have an idea of the amount of talk time you need. Decide if you really need off-peak minutes or not. If you are a heavy phone user, it is probably worthwhile going on a monthly contract. Monthly contract phone deals also offer you free or heavily discounted mobile phone handsets. You are also likely to get a latest one. If you are a light user, you will end up paying a price for the handset, but could save money on monthly line rentals if you go for a pay as you go deal. Getting a SIM free mobile phone is always expensive, but it is worthwhile considering it if you want the flexibility of using it on any mobile network of your choice. What is worth bearing in mind is that even handsets which are locked with networks can easily be unlocked without much costs involved.

Most people who are crazy after a particular phone end up paying extra if they do not shop around. You may also want to consider reading mobile phone reviews written by other customers who have used a particular handset. If you ever get tempted to buy a mobile phone insurance with your handset, it is worth bearing in mind that most of these so called insurance policies are not worth their money and you have to make sure you read the small print carefully.

Happy mobile phone hunting!

With the image and file sharing websites growing in popularity more and more, it is hard to live with a dial-up Internet connection.

The main problem you can encounter with a wireless connection compared to a wired broadband network is security. You will need to make sure your connection is encrypted to stop other people using your connection. The encypting is not as hard to do as it sounds, and most routers and ISP modems come with instructions of how to do it. If you require any assistance, your broadband internet provider will be able to help you. And guide you through the process.

One of the common mistakes people do when they go wireless is to buy the cheapest available equipment, without doing any research. It is always worth reading broadband internet reviews and guides on wireless equipment before parting with your money.

Online shopping vs. the high street?

Online shopping makes you wonder if we will ever have to leave home to do our shopping again, but there are still people who want to go out and do their shopping in the stores, for various reasons. What are the advantages and disadvantages of high street and online shopping?

Because there are much lower overheads for online retailers most products can be found online cheaper than that of the high street. But then, some high street shops may have clearance deals and in store offers that you can only buy if you go into the store. Another bonus is the reward shopping websites where you can get cashback rewards on your online shopping, without paying any extra money as well.

If you tried to visit every high street shop to compare shop prices, it would be very time consuming, where if you use an online price comparison website, you can compare the products and the prices, to find the best deal in no time at all.

One huge plus of high street shopping is the face-to-face interaction with another human being, because if something goes wrong, you can always return your goods to the shop. However, if you choose a reliable online retailer that offers a no quibble exchange policy/guarantee, this should not be a problem at all.

Finding a Cheap Broadband Deal

How do you decide which broadband ISP supplier offers the right package for you with so many to choose from and such competitive prices on the market these days for high-speed connections?

Is “Unlimited Broadband” really necessary?

You may not need a huge download limit or a cheap unlimited broadband deal, if you only use your broadband Internet connection to surf the net a little, check your emails, and do a little online shopping. You need to be aware and know exactly what download limit you will require, or you could pay more than you have to simply because of an Internet service provider’s adverting. “Unlimited Broadband” is one of the ISPs favorite advertising lines and some of these so-called “Unlimited” download limits will have a fair usage policy (which is usually not well advertised and hidden amongst the small print). The advertising can make you believe that you need something, when you really don’t need at all.

Why is it important to compare prices?

Broadband suppliers update and change their offers on a regular basis. You mustn’t assume that because you have seen an advertisement somewhere, either on the radio or TV, that it will be the offer you get. You will need to check out the latest deals and prices before signing up to any contracts. Better still, read what other people have to say about their experiences and recommendations on various review sites like: Internet service provider reviews

You may also consider checking out the latest deals when it’s time to renew your existing contract. There are always special offers on for anyone making the switch to a new one, so there’s a good chance that you could find a better ISP than the one you’ve currently got.
