I can read through your posts that you are a wise person who think of ways on how to be able to economize and be able to save a lot when purchasing insurances and the like.
Actually, we don’t have those accident insurances. Although, when you ride a bus going to Manila, you will be made to choose if your buy an insurance for only 20 pesos (US$ .02), good only in case you met an accident on that trip.
Even airplanes have insurance coverage inclusive of the airfare paid.
We also have our accident insurance coverage for each employees at the office.
-
@Dina,so do you buy the insurance when ride the bus?

I have heard a lot about South Africa and you post further increased my interest.It is for sure my next travel destination.
-
Just keep dreaming and one day it will be a reality
-
Africa is not in my bucket list because I am afraid of those wild animals they show in those discovery channels.
Certainly, I would like to be near a place where there are wild animals specially during evenings.
Though, I would also like to see those other animals that are not in any of the zoos here in the Philippines.
I have seen a show where they ride a closed van and a tiger went into the van’s roof. Oh, that surely will give me a real scare. I am a very nervous person that’s why this kind of adventure is not for me.
I would just be contented in seeing these animals at the internet. 🙂
-
You do not have to opt for those safari rides at all. Not all have a fascination for wildlife and you could be one of them.

You mention that the condition is treatable, how is it treated?
-
Copied from psychological journal….
The most frequently used form of therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and systematic desensitization or exposure therapy. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 75% of people with specific phobias overcome their fears through cognitive-behavioral therapy.
In desensitization or exposure therapy, you are exposed in a safe and controlled way to the object or situation you fear. The most commonly used exposure therapy involves gradual encounters with the fear-producing object, first in the imagination and then in reality. Through repeated experiences facing your fear, you begin to realize that the situation, while possibly unpleasant, is not harmful. With each exposure, you feel an increasing sense of control over your phobia. This sense of control over the situation and yourself is the most important benefit of exposure therapy. As you become desensitized to your fear, you no longer react with uncontrollable panic when confronted by it.
Relaxation and stress relief techniques are frequently an accompaniment to other therapeutic approaches. Relaxation techniques may include things like specific ways of breathing, muscle relaxation training, guided mental imagery, or soothing self-talk.
Medication can also be used in the treatment of monophobia. Drugs do not “cure” a fear of being alone or any other phobia, but they can temporarily suppress the symptoms through chemical interaction.

Sites such as this benefit with long posts as the Ads linger on.
-
That is a myth. That is why so many sites demanded 2k words. They thought the longer item would prove the site was ‘serious’. What happens, and you know it for yourself, is that you write an article, it is ‘too short’ you go back and start stuffing words. You’ve said everything you need to in 287 words. But you have to stuff in more. And unless you actually can find another clause that is necessary… blah blah

I think it is understandable that in an online earning site, we are there to earn. Thus, we are in a hurry to be able to post and earn more by the comment it would get.
Thus, we know that our time to read is limited, so we also try to make our posts shorter, to also give way for us to be able to read and comment to friend’s posts.
However, in a writing site such as here, there is a minimum number of words for a post to be approved to be published. Thus, I see a lot who are sometimes just beating around the bush just to meet the minimum number of words. I hate to say it, but they are rubbish posts.
Although, some would really go detail by detail, so much so that one would think, is this copied from anywhere and would be checked by Admin if they really are.
So here, you can sense if a post is just being made just to conform to having the minimum number of words. You have just read a few paragraphs but you already know what is being pointed out, because sometimes as go on reading , the writer seems to be already drifting.
Funny, but this is true to some posts here. Can we not just post shorter but substantive posts. If a post needs explanation , then a long post will do.
-
We are on the exact same page… that is how I feel. I write and try to get to the point. The best writers do that… so if you want to know what monophobia is and do a search you DON’T WANT TO READ…
“People all over the world suffer from Monophobia. You probably know people who suffer from Monophobia. Yet, Monophobia is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of…. (blah blah blah)
You want to Read:
Monophobia is the fear of being alone and can make a person feel insecure, anxious and depressed.

I think it is good to write as short as possible.The only good fact is that the message and reason of the write up should be made as clear as possible.There is no crime in writing more words.This may either be for more clearance or emphasis.
-
The modern style is to be as quick as possible. Get to the point as sharp as one can and avoid the ‘very’ and other wasteful modifiers. Although 300 words here is not inordinately long, the fact is that when one finishes their sharp article and has to add 30 or 40 words… they rarely contribute.

Yes, that’s a lost opportunity indeed. However, that person shOuld also consider, that no one knows that he /she is coming. That’s how it should be.
Because if the celebrity could have informed that he/she will be coming, then for sure that employee will wait even if it means forgoing of his/her lunch and do it once the given time to arrive has lapsed and no one came.
And in this case, the person who was asked as to where the employee is should be responsible enough, to call the said employee if it is a V.I.P who has come to speak with him/her.
-
In many cases, one doesn’t know that a special visitor is coming. No one knew Barack Obama would want to go to the Bob Marley museum. It wasn’t until he had landed, checked into the hotel, that the calls were made and those who were there were there, and those who weren’t were not.
Rem. He couldn’t advertise where he was going too far in advance for security reasons.

Yes, they really do.

And I am sure people are still babbling away… chatting their personal business for all to hear.
-
-
I think when we are to speak in a phone, we have to make our voice modulated for others not to hear. It is not a good manner to be talking loudly on the phone, because you might be diturbing other people when you do that.
And as to spying using the phone, I think it will take the government first to ask permission to hack somebody’s conversation when it is of utmost security risk that they are trying to prevent.
-
Most people talk so loudly and disturbingly as if they don’t realise they are being heard. Gov. doesn’t ask permission. The information is there. They just tap in.

Some people develop love and like for old things. This is no doubt a good hobby. There is no guarantee we always will be on the profit side. Sometimes we will incur heavy loss also. But, the chances for the latter are less.
Yes. The price of the old ones will be half of the new ones. It is also true that most of the machinery will have good quality material wise than the new ones.
I had a good experience. I got Manual singer sewing machine which is of 60 years old. We were not using it. I wanted to use it. So took it to the servicing center. The mechanic was an expert. He just saw it and asked ‘WHY WAS IT KEPT IDLE FOR THE LAST 40 TO 50 YEARS”. I told him the reason He asked for the machine and was ready to pay Rs.6000/- as is where is a condition. I did not accept for that and got it repaired. Now it is perfect.
Similarly, the story of my St.Thomas Wall Clock which is really 150 years old. My grandfather purchased it in those British days.
I really enjoy to have them and take good care of the above two items. -
Good article. We have in the States a similar location. We call these places Thrift stores. They are designed to raise funds for the homeless and needy. Rich people contribute to these centers and you can find clothes with the receipt tag with it in good conditions. Plus, if you do your homework right, you can find good antique items in which you can sell for a profit. My wife and I have shopped at these places and we have gotten good deals,especially with the clothes. These places are good because not only do you get super deals but your funds helps out those in need. It is a win-win deal!
-
Mr. Siva, those antique lovers look for profits and it towards old coins, paper money, stamp, antique furniture, etc.
Me, just for fun and own collection, not much for profit. Haha!
Singer manual sewing machine is always the best, I believe, especially those old one, with 50 years and older. If you have an older, with 70 years old, I believe your must have a very nice flowery stand. This is what I always looking for and admired to, but yet get one with me so far. Sigh!
St. Thomas brand clock, I have no idea on the brand, but I just bought a digital Telesonic wall clock at USD4, we repaired it , it can play music and with some lights on , my kids are very happy with it. I believe, a new one could cost up to USD150 at least.Yes, take well care of those antique items with sweet memory.
@Caleb, it’s win-win deal, but I not really go for profits, but most of the retires and furniture manufacturers come here and buy for re-cond those furniture for resell for profit.

I think in the countries like India, managing the trees is an Art, a social activity, a welfare activity. Every care needs to be taken for the maintenance of tree. The technology mentioned in the blog is available not in all countries. Only a few countries can afford to adopt this technology.
-
When ISRO can send 104 satellites what is some technology to manage full grown trees (lol)
-
-
Many trees have been killed and uprooted here to give way to massive housing and commercialization of agricultural land. It’s sad to see them go little by little. There are local mandates but overall it does nothing to conserve much of what we used to have.
-
When a strong typhoon hit our province, the big and old mango tree beside the garage turned into a snack house, was uprooted by the strong wind. Good thing, it didn’t hit any part of our house since it is far from it. Though it damaged the roof of the eatery and my sister had it repaired.
Going back to the old mango tree, my father hired two men to saw the big trunk of the old mango and had them made into just round stubs of trunk and now a nice ornament by the lawn.
Then they carefully cut the rest and had it as woods for cooking at our dirty kitchen.
Big trees need the expertise of persons who are into cutting trees, lest they will just be cut into woods to be used for cooking and it will be a waste of the beautiful craft that can be made from it.

So it’s also International Book Giving Day yesterday , February 14. I didn’t know that. All I know is that it was Valentine’s day yesterday.
That being the International Book Giving Day, we can hit two birds in one two when we give the children books on Valentine’s day. It means it’s a gift for Valentine’s Day and for International Book Giving Day.
-
@Dina, good idea! Does the kid need to celebrate Valentine’s Day too? I thought this is only the festival for adults? 😛
Anyway, hope the public will donate some books to the kids too beside gifting some roses to their lovers.
Hope I can donate more books to the children whom needed them too next year. Keep my figure crossed.

I really wonder why people fear to live alone. This is really a boon to be alone. There are many advantages of living alone. This is a test for someone to equip themselves for their future success without any disturbance or diversion of attention.
This should be practiced by all young people to be alone without any fear. This is a warmup match before taking up the real one in life. A writer can never be a writer without observing the people. A scientist can not come out with any new theory unless he lives alone and throws his mind to the applications and reading the books.
A footballer can not play his game unless he sits and plans the strategy for himself while dealing with so many attackers. He can not plan how to penetrate and tore the defense of the opponents in the match.
I think this is only a temporary weakness of the people to be afraid of living alone.But,once they practice it is not a major problem for anybody.-
I fully agree with you. It is so important to be able to function by one’s self. Yet, today, so many people seem terrified of it.

Indeed there are a lot of people like that. They just have to have somebody in their company.
I am proud of myself because I learned how to be by myself most of the time. Even at the office, since I am alone in our office room most of the time, because our boss seldom takes her office here but instead upstairs in the affiliates’ office, I learned how to enjoy my own company.
I would always switch on my cell phone’s radio to FM stations where deejays would be in twos and be making jokes in between playing of music. That way, I feel that I am not alone. I laugh at their jokes even while I am alone in the room.
In shopping, I love doing it alone. That’s because I can go on fitting clothes for the whole day, without being bothered that my companion is already getting tired. I eat when I am tired already and would continue fitting and shopping for clothes and shoes and bags.
My husband knows that, because I don’t like bringing him when I am shopping for myself, since he complains it takes me so long to choose what I have to buy.
I love my company. Though of course, I have lots of friends too.
-
I don’t mind being alone. I do like shopping alone so as not to inconvenience anyone. I like to make my own food … I seem to like pepper more than others. I am amazed by people who hate to be ‘alone’.

A good discussion. Everyone should learn how to be stayed with own self or home alone. It’s an important task for everyone.
We live, walk, breath, and sleep alone is a good and free thing, no need to take care of others feeling and adjust life style due to other.
I love to be alone or have “me time” after having 2 noisy kids at home.But, they only will be made no noise after sleep. Hehe!
-
It is so important for people to be able to function on their own. To be able to fill their time and thoughts without outside assistance.

So how did trump find his way into the republican races to contest for the presidency of america. so people all over the world are now becoming educated fools than those who have never step a foot in a classroom before. What explanation can be given to people who voted for trump with all his lies and behavoiur during the campaign. My beef is those black americans who supported trumps after all his heat speech against the black race.
-
You and I are on the same page. Black people who voted for Trump, well, they must be the descendents of those who sold their brothers into slavery in Africa, then became slave catchers in the West.
The supporters of Trump, the real ones, are right wing White Americans who don’t think ‘Black Lives Matter’. You note, since Nov. we haven’t heard anything about Police shooting unarmed Black man anymore. Cause it’s happening, and not being reported.

it is hard to say that, but if that is life then we have to accept it, some can not offer life also to their kids, little better than more, and as human we always want more and more, and that keep life going, to learn is great, but some learn in the schools and university but they are rude, no manners, life is the best and biggest school. if they can not learn from schools then learn from life, its better school any way, you can not live without life learning, experience and communicating is the best school in the life ever absolutely, so accept what you have and try to reach the sky but if you could not its ok try some thing else, no body at all ever ever ever has all the life offers, some has this and some has that, some has bigger quantity from this and some has less from that. Its life and thats it

Those are the reasons that attracted me to the site in the first place. There are many things we can do here to earn some change. Almost every thing you do will get you a little something, even logging in and that is a plus. There are sites where we take 2 days just to even get one cent and that is when we work hard enough.
I am hoping that this site will be the one for me to write and have fun reading blogs from everyone around here.

I like those soaps on TV on which at the beginning of each episode the would show snippets from the previous one and towards the end would also show some snippets of the next episode.
These next episode snippet really make the people motivated to watch the next episode.
However now, if I wasn’t able to watch an episode, I can just open it on their website at anytime and watch all the past episodes. Very nice isn’t it, because you won’t miss any episode anymore.

Living in the 4th World, where we don’t get much good TV I’ve been watching on line and have found that the best, most popular series are story arc. The change in American television has been slow but steady.
