Procrastination can really cost us money

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 1 May 13

It's been almost three months that I've been intermittently participating in the discussions. It's not because I was too busy. I was just lazy. I always put off for another day my participation here, always assuming that there's...

There are some advantages to having slow internet connection : D

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 15 Mar 12

For some reason, my internet speed is like moving at a snail's pace. I mean, it's really slow, and the timing couldn't be worse. I'm downloading a media file that I need for work. I can either rant about it or do something with...

Two months into 2012 and I failed to fulfill one of my resolutions

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 29 Feb 12

Well, scratch one off my list of things to do for the year. Or should I say things not to do. I've made it a point never to cram on anything anymore but now I find myself cramming to meet myLot cutoff, which I don't think I could...

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 27 Feb 12

It's almost summertime and again flipflops are once more attracting lots of buyers. I'm really amazed at how branding and pricing could change the outlook of people. I mean, when I was a kid, fliplops are meant to be worn only at...

How come simple questions of a child can be so hard to answer by an adult?

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 18 Feb 12

I don't know if you've been caught tongue-tied when answering some trivial questions of a child, but I have quite a lot of times. Just this evening, I noticed my son's nails were a bit long and told him that we need to clip it a...

I'm vain! And it's good to be one

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 29 Jan 12

This afternoon, I went to the salon to have a haircut. It always makes me smile whenever I see how vain people are in salons. People having their hair done, having their eyebrows threaded, their toenails polished and stuff. Then I...

Commercials on cable TV - viewers should get rebates!

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 22 Jan 12

One reason why some of us had subscribed to cable television is to have commercial-free shows. Well, that's true in my country where ads are really abundant to the point that some free channels are airing commercials in excess of...

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 2 Dec 11

My 8-year-old son and I were talking awhile ago of him keeping a personal journal. They have one at school. But I unconsciously said diary instead of journal. He cringed his eyes and said he didn't want to have a diary. He didn't...

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 25 Nov 11

Should you fully drain your laptop's battery before recharging it on order to prolong the battery life? I was told to do this with my mobile phone, and I just assumed it works the same way with laptops. Was I correct? I know how...

Master key - one key for everything

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 23 Nov 11

Would it be practical to have a master key for your house. One that can open all the locks of not only your door, but your cabinets or anything that has a lock on it? And even your car? This would do away with all those keys...

I don't keep old, worn-out bills in my wallet. They smell.

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 22 Nov 11

In our country, there are still worn-out bills that are still circulated and used for payment transactions. So each time I get a crisp bill, I refrain from spending it and use instead the old ones. I don't even keep the old bills...
