Get The Best Movers

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 5:55 pm

Moving from one house to another .. is already an uphill task, and for those relocating from one city to another, I assure you, is no easy feat either. A couple of years ago, a girlfriend of mine moved from Connecticut to San Fransisco because her husband was offered a great job in SF. The company had kindly arranged for a moving company to help them move and since the company was paying the moving company, my girfriend, didn’t think nothing of it at all. Well, how wrong she was, not to find out more about the moving company, because this is a true story.

Moving Companies are a plenty in the United States, and with all your belongings, your assets and even memories all packed up and handed over to some unknown person/s … that you’ve never met in your life before, any smart woman would check the company out first and see if they are reliable or not right..?? But like my girlfriend, alot of people who are moving away thinking that since I’m not paying for it, I should not say so much mentality is just wrong. Because if you happened to get the wrong movers like my girlfriend did, you’ll probably be one very upset and angry woman at the end of the whole ordeal.. and prolly ready to murder someone.

You really do have a choice to protect what is yours and a places like My Moving Quote is there and dedicated to help you find the best moving company to meet your relocation needs. Not only do you get to compare several quotes provided by several moving companies in the area you are in, you also get to understand the moving company and find out what they are make off..?? fly by nite or reliable, good standing and insured. This site is so helpful, you can find moving and packing tips, storage information and also help you to understand moving insurance issues and they even have international moves in their repertoire.

So whether you are relocating to another city like my girlfriend or moving to anther country altogether, don’t begin your new life in your new home starting with a nightmare… of lost boxes, broken boxes and damaged goods upon arrival.

50% Off Books

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 5:24 pm

Reading is probably one of my favorite pastime besides watching chinese tv shows. And everyone that i know or have met love books too, be if fiction or biographies or like my spouse, he loves the Sci-Fi big time. Books bought off the shelves in a bookstore can be very expensive, considering that now we also have to buy them for my kid. And it’s really nice.. when you find a place that offers up to 50% on the books you like. And you and i know that books makes good Christmas gifts.

Beat Unfair Ticketing

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 5:11 pm

A girlfriend of mine living the United States, keeps getting pulled over for speeding. She was quite sure that she was doing the required speed limit each time but she sometimes is in a hurry for another meeting or picking up her kids from pre-school, so she didn’t think too much about it and just accepted those fines on a regular basis.

Well.. that was before her car insurance premium went up citing those speeding tickets. Her solution recommended by her boyfriend was to get the best radar detector, which is absolutely legal in United States except for Washington DC and Virginia, as long as yours is a non-commercial vehicle. Well, you can imagine whose ticketing days are over.

In Service

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 4:50 pm

What is In-Service..?? yer probably wondering..! well.. In-Service is so often heard in this town of ours.. because it means.. the kids donch have to go to school.. for either the teachers.. have got some meetings on.. or they have to do marking..??!!?? What luxury eh..?? In all my life in school.. from primary to secondary .. to pre-university.. right up to University.. i donch believe . .we have had anything call in service.

Last year alone.. the kids didn’t have to go to school for in-service for like days..! unbelievable amount of time off for the kids.. that at times.. i wonder how are they gonna cope.. with finishing the year’s syllabus. I’ll have to ask Janice from HunnyBunz.. if they have in-service now in school. Or maybe.. i should check with our customer who is a teacher in one of the schools.. to see what this in-service is all about.

I worry.. because .. when Chloe goes to school.. what is it gonna be like. Already education is so different from what i was used to.. back home.. i foresee my kid not being challenged enough.. when she is at school. If so.. how is she gonna survive the hard knocks .. when she starts working..??

Cash Without the Embarrassment

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 4:50 pm

I don’t know about our family but in my very Chinese traditional one, it can be quite embarrassing to go home and get a loan from your parents or brothers and sisters. Why..?? because the family equates your shortage of cash flow as being unsuccessful and if one wants to go home and get a cash advance, you will have to explain why you needed the money, how you are going to pay back, and then you get to hear a long lecture of how you should be more careful with your money and so forth.

Sometimes, it is really hard to borrow from a family or friend, in a way, it is alot easier.. to go to the professionals when you need monetary assistance. You and I know that the bank would never come through for you, therefore we have places call Payday Loans here, unfortunately, in Asia.. we only have “yi soak kong” (pawn shop) to go to, but that itself, you have to have a collateral, quite a hassle too. Payday loans has help thousands if not more… but one needs to loan responsibly too.

Fabric Blind Your Windows

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 4:34 pm

We wanted to get new curtains for our windows and decided instead this year.. we should get some blinds, but little did i know that there are other alternative to blinds. I fell in love with fabric window blinds immediately because it sure is a great way to soften the windows. It lets natural light soften up and still shine through with a glowing warmth but allows you total privacy yet an open view if you choose too.

They are made of durable nylon and polyester and gives you a soft look yet they are tough and very durable. Great for windows with a view, and comes in 9 colors for you to choose. Most importantly, it was within our budget.

First SMS-enabled Blog

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 12:08 am

Very interesting, using mobile marketing, to market your blog. Indeed something new and innovative by the people of Truemors.com and golive mobile. A super blog future was what the owner, Guy Kawasaki, one of Apple’s original fellow wants it to be. This is for user to post rumours, factoids and other relevant gossips they have via SMS, voice calling, email and traditional web forms.

The goal is to enable users to send text messages and have it appear in the blog immediately, like real time posting. Not only is it fun, it is so cool, to see one’s texting live. When the campaign went life, Truemors became the hottest site overnight and immediate you can see the traffic going way up. Did you know that Truemors even prompted a Wikipedia entry..!

I see great future with sms marketing, what about you..??

It’s Simple, He Cares Enough

Filed under: Uncategorized, Amusing/Musing, This Town - Mama BoK @ 12:07 am

I read in the local papers today about how someone had written about it being an insult to spend 4 - 5 million for a new municipality building for the town councilors. Another customer of mine .. has been raising alot of questions during the town meeting .. but they wanna discredit him by saying that he is crazy.

People donch just speak up because they wanna make noise.. or become famous in the town.. ! Ppl speak up .. simply because they are enough. And although irate at times.. with this town… i donch speak up.. because i’m only on borrowed time…and borrowed land.

Protecting Your Loved Ones

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 12:05 am

My grandmother used to say that if you love your family or love anyone, you will have to plan for their future and take care of them in case anything were to happen to you. I know she is right because during my younger days, i’ve seen relatives and school friends whose parents died all of a sudden and left them with nothing at all .. to cope with facing the future without them, was really heartbreaking. I know of some who couldn’t even afford to pay for the funeral of the loved ones.. and had to literally get social welfare to help.

So as soon as I started to work, i bought insurance for myself, in case i leave my mum behind and she had nothing to fend for herself. But when I gave birth to my daughter.. the need to increase my insurance was even more important.. because what if she was left behind.. to fend for herself..?? So yes, I love my daughter too much to even let her go without any money to help her through life.

Any smart person would definitely buy not only life insurance right..?? If one owns a car, you’ll have to compare car insurance and get the best quotes and if you own a home, you’ll have to make sure you get some good and
cheap home insurance
as well. Protecting yourself and your family is my motto.
