Fake College Degree Scams

Before you buy an expensive fake degree from a diploma mill, make sure you do your research.
 If you are reading this, it means that you are doing your research. I hate to break it to you,
but those sites that are selling those degrees for work experience are selling scam degrees.
Those degrees will be issued by out of the country colleges. You are better off attending
adult education classes and note those certificates on your resume. You can also start by going to
 your local library and reading books and educate yourself. There are certain positions that require
a college degree. Luckily there still are well paying jobs that you don't really need a college degree.
For those positions or jobs, you may only need a certificate.  You have to have the right attitude
and the willingness to learn. You will be surprise in the amount of knowledge you can get from reading
 a book or watching a free online videos.

Trust me, I've done my research I've was once tempted to go the easy route. But common sense told me
 to dig deeper and do more research. I've found these news articles of people using these fake degrees
 to get jobs and end up getting fired and humiliated.

Here are a couple of links of articles I found online.

Cbs report of top officials having fake degrees.

A word of advice. You do not need a college degree to succeed in life. If you can get a job that
pays well, then save and invest your money wisely. If you really want to get a degree that is
half decent. Save up that money and enroll in small private school. I have seen people with well
paying jobs that got degree from these small private colleges. At the end of the day, a degree will
only get you considered for a promotion, it is really your skills and experience that can get you a job.

Booking Plane Tickets to the Philippines

Boracay Beach Station 1

Booking a plane ticket to the Philippines can sometimes be an expensive and stressful task.
You don't see ticket prices fall below the $800 level anymore. Here's what I do whenever I shop for
plane tickets to Philippines. I check first with the travel aggregating sites like mobissimo.com,
momondo.com and mangotours.com. After I've gotten a general idea of how much the prices go for.
 I do step number two which is I start calling travel agents that specialize on Philippine booking.
If you don't know any travel agencies, don't worry just go to your nearest Filipino supermarket
and get the free Filipino newspapers and start copying the numbers and start calling them up.
If you don't have local Filipino travel agencies, try asking your family and friends from other states.
I once booked with a travel agency 400 miles away from where I lived. They used to be from my area
and they moved further south. They just emailed me the confirmation number and that was all I needed
to show the ticketing agent at the airport. Make sure to use credit card just in case something
goes wrong, so you will be able to get your money back. Anyways, after doing all your research,
you now have an idea on who's cheaper the local travel agent or the big travel sites. If you are still undecided, you can ask your local travel agent with the lowest price to do a pre-booking to reserve
the price for 2 days, after which you have to decide on whether to book or cancel.
Booking early is also a good idea, but from experience it doesn't really guarantee a low price.

What is a Muse?

By definition a Muse is referred to as the goddess of creativity. And as far as the Four Hour Work Week book is concern, it is that one idea that can produce enough income for you to life and enjoy the lifestyle that you desire. It could be an Iphone app, android game, facebook app etc. Anything that can produce enough income, so you can be your own boss is a form of Muse. But the book goes one step further and gives ideas how to automate that idea or business, so you are not stuck managing that idea or business.

High Expectations for Manny Pacquaio

Last night, after the decision was announced a lot of boxing fans quickly reacted and was booing Manny Pacquiao. Everybody knows that when it is a close fight the challenger has to convincingly win or even knock-out the champ in order to get the decision. Not to take anything away from Juan Manuel Marquez, who I think is the only boxer that could go toe to toe with Pacquaio. Both fighter's face looked the same to me, neither looked any worst than the other. Even sports commentators were reacting thinking that Marquez should have won. Marquez wasn't knocked out and he finished the fight, does that mean he convincingly won every round? So the whole time it was a Juan Manuel Marquez fight? I have to admit that it wasn't a convincing win for Pacquiao. It wasn't a convincing non win for Marquez either, if that even make any sense.

We have come to expect to see Pacquiao dominate everyone he fights. Manny has set the bar high and in this recent Marquez fight he didn't meet that expectation, but he didn't lose the fight as well. Even great fighters have off nights. It happens to all great sport figures. Specifically for boxing, a challenger has to convincingly win every round against the champ or even knock the champ out in order to win a decision.

I have to admit that it wasn't a convincing win for Pacquiao.

The Four Hour Work Week Book a Source of Inspiration

I want to share one of the source of inspirations for starting this blog, is the book Four Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferris. The book was published in April 2007, which quickly became a bestseller. It has recently been expanded and updated and now available at your nearest bookstore.  This book has inspired me to think outside the box. It talks about Tim's journey on how he was able to leave the 9 to 5, eight hour work day and have more time to enjoy the things he loves. Buy this book, rent it at your nearest library, or do more research on Tim and what Four Hour Work Week is about, so you can begin your journey in having the life you want. You can also visit this website, Fourhourworkweek.com.  A word of caution, to have the life you want and to be successful will take some work, but this book will give you the necessary tools to accomplish it as fast as possible. If you like this post, feel free to subscribe to this blog via email, so you can receive similar post on lifestyle design and tips and tricks to becoming more successful in life.

Here's a short video of Tim back in 2007, talking about the Four Hour Work Week.
Little did he know that he would change so many lives and become the lifestyle design superstar that he is now today.

Ramona Bautista is the Mastermind

According to the victim Janelle Manahan, Ramona Bautista was the person that ordered the killing. The person she hired to commit this gruesome act has apparently gone to the authorities and pointed to Ramona as the mastermind. I previously posted that we should reserve judgement until all details have come to light. But I don't think Ramona will be able to deny anything after this lastest development.

Sexy Star Ramona Revilla is Not Related to the Now Famous Ramona Bautista

Former Sexy Star Ramona Revilla has been getting a lot of hate messages on her facebook. She hasn't had time to respond to those messages or clear her name up, because she's been busy with her wedding.
I want to Say Congrats to Mr.Frederick and Mrs Ramona Farrell. I think Ramona who is of Persian and Filipino decent will make beautiful and good looking babies with her American Husband.

And this is a picture of the now famous Ramona Bautista 

Both pictures are Url linked to where I got them.

Why did Ramona Revilla Leave the Philippines?

Why did Ramona Revilla Bautista Leave the Philippines? Nobody knows. Is she behind the gruesome crime. I hope not. It will be really sad that a sister can do something like that to a brother. But let us reserve judgement, until everything has come to light. And the investigators have done their job. Regardless of her mix statements, anything that traumatic can throw anybody's mindset off.

I don't know where my friend took this photo got it form a forward. So credit to whom the credit is due. 

So the Tablet Wars Has Begun

The first one to fire the salvo was Amazon's Kindle Fire at $199, was then followed by Barnes and Noble's Nook Color for 139.57 Shipped. Now Moto-Motorola comes to play with the 10" Xoom for 349.99 from Daily Steals. My rooted Nook is definitely a contender against Amazon's Kindle fire. The Amazon Kindle fire does have my Nook beat with the Amazon Prime subscription which features free best seller book lending, free 2 day shipping upgrade, and access to its video library content.

I will keep my eyes open on how much lower the Tablet Wars will go. I am specially looking forward to Black Friday. And I agree with Rick Broida from Cnet The Cheapstake Apple Ipad is due for a price cut.
This blog post was inspired by The Cheapstake article I just read today.
