How to buy online

Buying online can save hundreds of pesos over purchasing from store. So, these steps can be followed.

1. Research the product.

• Before you buy something online, you should read product reviews of it. By reading reviews, you can make sure the product you have selected is excellent for your needs.

2. Find an Online Store

• Search the Internet for a store that has the product you want to buy. It is best to use a reliable online store such as Amazon.com, Buy.com, or BestBuy.com.

3. Online Auctions

• You can also save money by buying a used product from an auction site like eBay, Yahoo! Auctions, or uBid. However, you will probably not be able to get the same warranty you would receive by buying it new.

We hope these steps are followed and see you next time.

How to be a perfect host

A successful party depends largely on the host. A gracious host will be aware of guests' needs and make sure that they are comfortable.

Invitations

Invitations should be sent at least two weeks in advance of the event. Make sure that you include the occasion, time, date, location, any specific instructions (such as formal or informal dress), if meals will be served and if your guest is free to bring a date.

Seating

Consider your seating chart carefully. Try to place guests near some people that they know.

Ensure that table decorations do not interfere with line of sight and communication

Introductions are an important part on your job.

Planning

Do not leave important details to the last minute; plan your event carefully.

Make a list about everything you need, including flowers, food, wine, music and decorations.

During the Event

Ensure that music is not too loud so that guests can converse. Introduce guests to each other. Relax and enjoy your guests.

How to Clean a Laptop Screen

I'm going to show you how to properly clean your laptop LCD screen. This is something that needs to be done from time to time, and some people are worried about what type of cleaners to use. Well, what I use is just Windex or alcohol.

So, first you just use a paper towel, and you apply Windex or alcohol straight to the paper towel. You need to be careful of that. Go ahead and clean completely. And you don't want to spray it directly onto the screen because that has a risk of its leaking down into the screen. I hope this has helped you.

How to Store Food in a Pantry

A well-stocked pantry provides you with plenty of choices when it comes to meal preparation.

First, repackage beans, rice and other dry foods and place them in glass, plastic or metal containers.

After, label all repackaged food with the contents and the date they were purchased.

Reseal reusable packaging after each use.

Arrange items in your pantry using the first in, first out method. Place newly purchased items behind older items.

Finally, inspect expiration dates in the pantry once a month and develop a meal plan to use up items nearing their expiration, which helps reduce waste in the kitchen.

Start your own business

Starting a business can be a scary, an exciting adventure.

1. Be Your Own Boss

Being your own boss is one of the biggest reasons for starting a business of your own.

2. Do What You Love

Another reason you should start your own business is because you can start fresh with a clean slate and choose a business that coincides with your passion.

3. Choose Your Clients

Often, people have to deal with rude and difficult clients in their corporate jobs. When you start a business, you can pick and choose the clients you do business with.

4. Control Your Cash Flow

5. Work From Home

Another reason why you should start your own business is because you can work from your house. You don't have to deal with traffic, you don't have to wake up two hours earlier and you have more time at home to spend with your family.

Next Year,

Things are gonna change,

Gonna drink less beer
And start all over again

Gonna read more books

Gonna keep up with the news

Gonna learn how to cook

And spend less money on shoes

Pay my bills on time
File my mail away, everyday
Only drink the finest wine
And call my Gran every Sunday

Well Baby they come and go

Will I do any of these things?
The answer's probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do,
Despite my greatest fears

How I've felt all of these years
Next Year, Next Year, Next Year

I'm gonna tell you, how I've felt
