Cash is good but the store needs credit. Or it should be the other way around? In the Philippines I guess it’s possible. But in US I’ve heard, they’ll give you a mean look if you pay in cash and not by card. As if, it’s the last thing they expect to receive from a shopper.

Earlier, one of the credit card company gave out portable stoves as there reward for their outstanding customers. It came as a surprise because my share was a bit delayed. I thought my name wasn’t on the list so I just let it pass.

To apply for a credit card is just easy. But one thing should be clear in getting it. That is to examine your motives towards using credit cards. Of course not all debt is bad. The card may serve as a good tool for investments specially the interest free credit cards or when you buy things that puts money back into your pocket.

But when things go wrong and you seem to know you’re in the verge of bankruptcy better seek debt consolidation so you won’t end up being chased by your financial nightmare. Improve your life with proper financial management.

Gorgeous models on the cover page of Daily Xpress caught my attention. Thinking it was the latest fashion in Bangkok, only to find out these well built models are advertising for next month’s Flower Carnival in Nai Lert Park. The flowers worn over their body are actually made of orchids in connection to the hotel’s plan to turn the 4 and a half rai of private park into a permanent orchid garden which will feature more than 250 species of this kind.

I’m an ardent flower lover when it comes to photography. This event will surely not be missed. The carnival is between August 22-24, 2008.

In business schools it is not clearly explained about the practicality of investment and the type of business involved. When I attended the networking business seminars I gained alot of insights about it. There are four types of businesses present– traditional business, franchise, networking and multi-level management. Traditional business requires big capital that involves greater risk, Franchise also needs big capital with medium risk involved as the system is already established, Networking normally requires lower capital with lower risk as well and MLM they say that your main weapon could be your gift of free speech.

Among the four I am more interested on owning a Franchise business. Numerous franchise information can be learned on the net.

To spread the feel good factor, Fitness First has given its members an opportunity to invite friends for a 2 month free trial pass in the gym. Whoa, that would mean lots of calories will be lost all for FREE! Attending gym sessions makes you feel energetic, relax and stress free. Maybe it explains why active people looks more younger than introvert ones.

Digital Cameras users have escalated in great number these days. I myself is a photography enthusiast and I have been researching several digital camera accessories that could fit my D40x. Even though at this point I am considering to upgrade it to D80 rather than buying the Nikkor VR lenses.

DSLR Body are getting cheaper and cheaper but not the lenses. For the sake of comparison Canon’s EOS 450D Kit 2 Lens 18-55, 55-250 IS costs around $967 while Nikon D60 2 Lens 18-55 VR, DX 55-200 VR is $764. If budget hinders you from getting your dream cam, there are two choices to make. Either you wait till the gadget depreciates or loan from somebody and don’t let the moments pass undocumented. Idle time is time wasted.

Basic accessories for Digital cameras are tripod, memory card, battery, charger, screen cleaning kit, camera bag, flash and more. You can find affordable prices of these items in sfplanet.com.
