crunch with me

Not my hair, not my hubby, and am sure not my patience, but it seemed like am short of cash each time I think of saving few more pennies for supposedly a holiday.  When I think of buying new bedsheets, or new dinner set, I always have to brushed it off and say I wait till the paycheck comes in a week.   And it seemed the the 30 days seemed so short when another bill comes in the mail on top of the other that I just recieved two days ago.

For some, a short loan for a short period of time is just a solution when you’re in this circumstance.  A quick application to cash advance saves your day away from the money stress and disappointment for getting or buying a thing that you really need or paying off a bill that due very soon.  The website tells you step by step on sending in your application.  Try it yourself, and hope you won’t find yourself short of cash anymore… I will.

Its easy to get overboard with expenses as everyone knows.  And if we are not carefull enough, we can easily entangled with debts, bills, morgage repayments and on and on and on.   That’s what a friend of mine finds herself in.  Just a while ago, she have aked me if there’s a way to earn more, aside from her odd jobs, as a supermarket service assistant and a support worker.  Thats already two jobs and still looking for more ways to earn income.  With careful and responsible approach to money matters, we find ways to stay on top of all incomings and outgoings.  But no matter how we try harder, there are just times when a simple application to fast cash payday loans can save us for a moment of overlimit fees, late fees etcetera and save us from declining good credit line.  It is worth asking ourselves now and then, how much is too much.

I was awaken by my sister’s mandaya-inspired text this evening, asking me to get back online again.  My sister thought I went shopping with baby and hubby and had a big retail therapy in a big shopping mall.    Goodness gracious! just in my dreams.  I actually was just retreating to slumberland to keep my thoughts away from my recent conversation with the Mother dear, who asked me if I can round off the money I sent to her to a couple more hundreds so its easier to get hold of it the moment it comes out from the ATM machine!  It’s a typical request, which, if online payday loans directly credits the amount to my bank account in a second, handy as it may sound, but the thing is I still have to sign myself in and apply.  It sound and looks easy to apply for one, but before I’d do that, I have to tell my Ma,  its okey, you get by with few hundreds for now if you don’t well, just try me again next time.  Am just off with money matters at the moment.

I had been chatting to my sister online, as this is the most convenient and economical way for us to keep in touch.  We do share a lot of things in our conversation, and at times we share what’s left in our wallets to get by, (and tell you, its quiet convenient even if we are ocean’s apart) but it doesn’t work if we’re a few bucks away and still few days left for the next paycheck.  If only we have a cash advance payday loan then  it makes things easier.  Yes, the wonders of the global web, that even if we are 15 hours apart by flying on the airplane, yet we could if resources permit, lend each other a few bucks to be able to hit the shops and fill up our grocery bags with the basic needs like milk, bread, rice, fish and a dinner table for 6. 

"The thief has come to steal, to kill and to destroy!" - this line comes with a biblical truth.  Although it speaks about Satan stealing man’s salvation, eternal joy and destroying an abundant life, we could say, too, that a lot of men have come to steal, kill and destroy a fellow human being.  Sad but true.  Theft is rampant these days, an in various ways.

I ran across David Airey’s blog.  And read about how a cracker stole and held his davidairey.com domain for ransom.  In his site, he stated how it was taken away, how it was recovered and how much damage it caused him.  In this form of theft alone, David is not the only victim.  I’m sure there were others who didn’t quite know how to retrieve their stolen goodies.

I used to work as a Customer Finance Assistant where I get to handle banking information,  SSNs and details valuable to one’s finances, business, properties and one’s life even.  I heard sad stories of people with hacked online accounts, of people who had to pay for something they did not purchase with their card themselves, but they pay anyway just to maintain a good credit standing.  Poor thing.  But that’s a lot better than a stolen identity.  Criminals will steal just anything valuable, all in the name of money.

LifeLock.com is an interesting website to find about this topic.  LifeLock is America’s #1 Identity Theft Prevention Program.  Works like an insurance, they guarantee to shield your identity up to $1,000,000.  They’ll prove to be the most advanced, safest and easiest to use in cases of Identity theft.  They have an Identity Theft Quiz form.  They offer protection services for a minimal fee and even discounts.  Try visiting their website to get your own LifeLock promotion code and subscribe to their services.

Happy New Year to one and all.  Here’s a new year news… Gmail has been hacked!!!

At least that’s what I heard.  But when I did a little research, it’s actually more of a mailer security flaw and cracker-victim issue.  The cracker-slash-criminal who knows how to tweak someone else’s settings by trespassing into your gmail account, and a victim who is innocent of what is being stolen from him.  A true to life invasion of privacy!  Once your email account is accessed, the cracker can manipulate the settings and all your emails, be it personal or business will be routed to the criminals’ hands.

How does it works? A victim visits a webpage while being logged into his GMail account. Not realizing he’s visiting a bad page, the page does a multipart/form-data POST to one of the GMail interfaces and sets a filter into the victim’s filter list. The attacker writes a filter, like a message rule or something, which simply looks for emails with attachments and forwards them to an email of their choice - their email.. tsk tsk. This filter/query will automatically transfer all emails matching the rule. Of course, future emails will be forwarded as well. The attack will remain present for as long as the victim has the filter within their filter list, even if the initial vulnerability, which was the cause of the injection, is fixed by Google.

That’s it.  I highly suggest that you do not use free emails for important mails like domain access, online banking information,  and even community accounts like friendster or myspace.  I need not enumerate what a cracker could do to you… they’ve got cracked minds.

May this year be a cracked free year for you! ^_^

Online dating can be fun. But don’t neglect safety and common sense when you try to hook up with a mate. At minimum, take caution in the following areas.

Protect Your Computer
Take care of your equipment and systems before you head out into the Internet realm. You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):

Free Firewall Download: ZoneAlarm www.zonelabs.com
Free Anti-Virus Download: AVG Anti-Virus www.grisoft.com

Protect Yourself

Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service. How? Begin by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which places they recommend. In addition, search online dating services and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place. Try only those places where you feel safe.  Avoid the others.

So take care. Arm your computer and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge!

Today, just today, i discovered some little yet amusing facts:

1.  that "utan" could mean any veggies in the local tongue.  All along i thought the term could only be applied for veggies like pumpkins, choko, eggplants, okra and kangkong.  This morning I learned from Gen that it could refer to lettuce and spinach as well.

2. that the nearest grill restaurant now serves my favorite Blue Marlin Steak.  Yum!  makes me hungry… 

3. that there is a best time to sell real estates in San Diego.  Thanks to George Lindemann Jr. I wouldn’t have realized that and before I knew it, all my properties are gone in a blink. 

4. that photoshop can make blogging life smoother… especially if you’re the type who loves to post images and change your site’s look quite often.

5. that vitamins and minerals are excreted, whether or not it’s used by the body.  They are not readily absorbed, that’s why it’s usually taken daily.

6. that i get hungry sitting for ages.  So let me get up and grab something to eat.

Ciao! 

’ve been away from home for quite a long time now. I miss home. I’ve been thinking of going home just to have a break and see my family… but my reasons were not enough to push me and get a ticket. Until this announcement came out:
