Finding a job these days is not an easy task – and it’s worse when you’re 50 years old. The job landscape has changed so much over the years, and while companies are not supposed to discriminate with respect to anything other than skill and competency, it is a fact of life that the older one gets, the harder it is to get a job. Looking at the bright side, it may be difficult but it is not impossible! So how do you ...
Obviously, I am NOT a man; but my dad had this notion that he would have a son as his first child – what guy doesn’t, anyway? So anyhow, growing up, I got to spend a lot of time with my dad as he tinkered with his motorbike and has he did jobs around the house. Looking back, I realize now that there are certain tools that a man simply has to have. In keeping with the spirit of Father’s Day, I thought it would be great ...
Well, after two-months of hard work I think I'd finally and happily end my car search by purchasing the Honda Accord 2009. I've been to many car lots these past weeks, my feet hurts, it's cold, I've shook many-a-hands that offers me the "best" deal available.
I think the Honda Accord 2009 is great car. It's good looking to start with and the most basic of model in this line has all the features I'm looking out for (which by the way on other car brands are an added option). I won't bore you with ...

Writer’s Survival Kit 2: Tools for the Tech-Savvy Scribe-slash-Visionary
Nov 27 2007
Posted by Lorie Therese as Business Concepts, Lifestyle and Leisure, Tricks of the Trade, Virtual Office
Last week, I discussed my primitivo royale writer’s tools to maximize time. Now here is my concept survival kit, because I have yet to purchase any of these, because I had to fill my room with essentials first.
I believe that the tech-savvy writer has to have the best tools of the trade in order to do his or her job excellently. These tools, these gadgets do not have to be the top-of-the-line branded stuff, but as long as they:
are sturdy, durable, and will last you at least two years
deliver decent to great output
serve their purpose and more..
..then they are top-notch in my book. More so if they are as hot as this baby that I deem essential to my career, and am actually aiming to get.
I believe that a writer/blogger, when offline, has to have these essentials
Writer’s Survival Kit 1: Stone-Age Tools

Posted by Lorie Therese as Lifestyle and Leisure, Tricks of the Trade
If a girl scout has to have her flashlight, swiss knife, can opener, and mosquito repellant handy in order to survive camp, a writer has to have her essentials in order to survive her personal jungle, too.. My personal jungle includes: traffic jams, waiting for friends, long train rides, lazy afternoons with nothing to do in an Internet-devoid coffeeshop.
While I surely have yet to encounter situations wherein I am devoid of the luxury of being online in a coffeeshop, as WiFi is abundant in my country, who knows, I might get stuck killing time in javalandia ...

Get Your Kids Into The Olympic Bandwagon
