Looking for a Wireless Prepaid Phone Package

Posted on April 12, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I am looking for an alternative landline package because ours is proving to be a bit expensive.

We do not regularly use our phone expect for a few phone calls to order for water to be delivered, hubby calling up to check on the kids, or my insurance agent’s secretary calling to remind me the life insurance quotes I have to pay (even if she already sent me sms).

Sending sms, emailing, chatting in chat rooms/email services and sending private messages through a social networking site where we have accounts are what we usually resort to when we need to contact each other.

I may need to resort of having a wireless prepaid service soon to cut down our landline phone expenses in half.

Any suggestions?

Check Your Privacy Settings

Posted on February 17, 2010 by greenbucks| 3 Comments

Google Buzz definitely stirred a lot of controversies since the day it came into existence.

Ok, I admit, I was excited at first but when I see names of people appearing in my Google mail, responding to the posts of some of those I’m following, I tweaked the privacy settings and the sites connected to me to give me a sense of (a little) security from being exposed to people I do not know.

Not that I feel I should have taken diet pills before my photos are seen ( 😀 ) but you know, not all the people in your mailing list are people that you exactly want to share personal info with.

There are contacts that I do not personally know in my mailing list such as there are people I come in contact with in social networking sites that I do not personally know too. Even if I share common friends with them it does not necessarily mean that they are my friends already.

Like with Facebook, before the change in privacy settings took place, I went the super private way, by being not searchable by people I would not ask to be a contact in the first place. I just did a several changes in the privacy setting which I discussed in this post after they made searching for friends easier.

What about you? Have you checked your privacy settings lately?

Sending flowers and gifts to your loved ones for Valentine’s Day is made easy with Island Rose.

I know it may sound cheesy and corny because some people would quip that everyday should be a Valentine’s Day. Still, wouldn’t it be great to consider this day as more special than your daily dose of feeling that loving feeling?

It seems that the gifting of flowers and other Valentine day-related gifts is getting lost in the technological advantage of sending (free) greeting cards, emails, videos and what-not. This is true since almost everyone has an email account, a social networking account and even their own blogs.

To those who are not here in the Philippines, you can surprise your loved ones when you Send Gifts to the Philippines. Teddy bears? Pendants? Bouquet of fresh flowers? You can choose whatever it is your loved ones will enjoy.

Deliver Flowers to the Philippines? Receiving fresh flowers is a happy moment that every woman and moms too, love to experience every now and then.

If you are concerned about your budget, you can avail of the 10% discount if you use the discount code VDAY022010 valid until February 20, 2010. That in itself is a gift too 🙂

Choose your gifts and show your love just in time for Valentine’s Day 🙂

How to Hide Your Tagged Photos in Facebook

Posted on January 18, 2010 by greenbucks| 3 Comments

Friends and family love to tag you in photos taken with them when they post these photos in Facebook’s albums.

But when embarrassing photos come out for everyone to ogle at and talk about, you tell yourself, “Oh nooooo!!!!”

So you want to hide these tagged photos especially that one where it looks like you need the best acne treatment but don’t know how?

Here’s how:

  • Go to the clickable “Settings” on the top right of your Facebook page
  • Click the “Privacy Settings” when the menu drops down
  • Click on “Profile Information” and you will see a lot of choices like About Me, Personal Info, Birthday, etc
  • Scroll down till you reach “Photos and Videos of Me” Photos and videos you’ve been tagged in

facebook

  • Click that button and choose your preference whether you want “everyone”, “friends of friends”, “only friends” and “custom”
  • Custom setting will let you choose “Only Me”

So there. No need to un-tag your tagged photos nor have everyone see you in your third grade photo 😀

Looking for Balloons and Other Party Needs

Posted on January 11, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I have been thinking about starting a balloons business with my mom since she has already clients in the province who orders balloons, birthday cakes, invitations and party needs from her.

Of course I wouldn’t want to tire myself while I traverse the roads going to Divisoria yet, where everything is being sold in retail prices, so I got to turn to online Classified Ads to see what it has on these party needs that I may write on my list when I have the resources and time in place.

And because I am excited, I decided to dream on when I saw this:

inflatables

I must say this is quite a wonderful way to advertise a balloons/party needs biz 😀
