thought of sending gift for no reason

According to mom, dad has been feeling lonely for two days already. She isn’t aware of the reason behind it because he’s not saying it. All we can do is to speculate and rationalize. But, it’s really sad to know one of your family member isn’t feeling well, right? I wanted to give him happiness, yet it’s too difficult because I’m miles away from him. And, it is impractical to flight back home because there’s only three weeks left before our flight abroad.

I thought why not just send a gift for no reason? Though it’s not his birthday or any special event, I guess giving him something will lift his mood. I’m sure it doesn’t need an occasion to make someone feel important and remembered. For sure, if it is dad he will love everything given by his kids; whatever it is it will be fine. But, I will make sure I will give him something special.

Feet Movement Signaled Attraction, study finds

Numerous studies so far have attempted to prove how one can tell when a person is lying, when they’re interested in something or someone else, or when they are trying only to appear so. It could very well be that all of them were looking in the wrong place. Researcher spent years analyzing human behavior and a lot of time looking into research on how people can give themselves away by feet movement. The idea behind the most recent study, while it can become extremely easy to control one’s facial expression, smiles, eyes and hand movement, most of the time we’re not even aware what we’re doing with our feet.

And this is precisely why they can tell our interlocutor plenty of things about us, including whether we’re attracted to them, interested in what they’re saying or even lying to them. For instance, the survey reveals, if a woman is attracted to her male interlocutor, her foot will move away from the rest of her body. Oppositely, if her legs are crossed or her feet are tucked away under her body, she’s not interested in the man she’s speaking to. Men, on the other hand, do not make this kind of distinction as far as “feet language” goes, the survey also shows.

Looking at the movement of the feet can also be very helpful when trying to figure out whether someone is lying. With lying, people always get the signals systematically wrong. Everyone looks at the eyes and the face, but people are very good at inhibiting what they are doing, when actually the most reliable indication of lying is the suppression of foot movement.

jewelry making while waiting

After graduation, sister is busy looking for a job. But, four months have passed and there’s no good news yet. So, she decided to do something productive while waiting. She said she will continue making fashion jewelry. It’s her entrepreneurial project during college and it makes her good amount of money.

However, she is facing quite a problem. Since jewelry making is a group project back then, everybody owns the tools and supplies. They decided to sell everything after graduation. That’s why she needs to start from scratch. But, I can’t just sit and watch her struggle to get those things. I’m willing to give my all out support for her by helping her purchase the needed materials and tools like ring mandrel, beading wire, and so much more. Lucky for me I bookmarked few stores I encountered before so I know where I will get those things. Oh well, I just hope she will become successful in making creative things. Who knows, she might not need to get a job anymore.

the thought of buying new laptop

Hubby keeps on teasing me that my laptop sounded like an airplane taking off the runway. I can’t blame him for that because it indeed sounded like one. I guess it has something to do with its nearing end. I’m aware that its lifespan will no longer be long. It’s serving me for almost five years from now, so I guess it’s not that bad. But, it implies that it’s time for me to scout for new ordinateurs portables.

Actually, I’m already planning on buying a new one before my laptop dies on me. But, I feel it’s a waste to have a new one when it is still functioning. I don’t want to see my first ever laptop goes to the dark corner of the house. Yet, it’s inevitable because one way or the other I need to upgrade my gadgets. Oh well, I’m not sure when it will it happen. For now, I will just endure hubby’s teasing over my old laptop.

Gift shopping for my brothers

July is the birth month of two of my younger siblings – next to me and the youngest. Well, I don’t worry much about the second since he is already working and can afford to buy things for himself. But, that doesn’t mean I won’t give him anything. He is still a child at heart that gets too happy and excited when receiving something.

My focus now is directed towards the youngest. I wanted to give him one of those personalized gifts for boys – a gift that is made only for him. I’m sure he is waiting for me to give him something. He used to ask me gifts before, but I keep on disappointing him because of my tight budgeting. Since that is no longer the case these days, I’m pretty sure I can get him something he will really love – like the kid’s sport jersey with name and number. He loves playing different types of games with his classmates so he can wear the jersey as if he is part of a team. Thinking about it makes me really excited as well.

injured friend

Oh my! It feels like ages since the last time I posted something here. Well, it’s been busy lately. With all those events and piles of work, I was not able to snatch few minutes to write something. Since it’s Sunday, I thought it’s perfect timing. If not now, I’m sure it will take another week for me to have free time.

Anyway, I just want to share the horrible Friday my friend had. He was working with something when disaster strikes that almost took his left hand away. Lucky for him helped came immediately; if not the worst thing could have happened. For that I think he is entitled to a settlement, which he would need the help of experienced and skilled Texas Work Injury Attorney. The accident happened while he is working so the company is somewhat responsible to him. But, that decision is all up to him. Well, I just wish him recovery the soonest.

advertising strategy to reach customers

Businesses of any size regularly need to have an advertising strategy to reach customers. One advertising method with many advantages is direct mail advertising. Messages are sent to target customers through the mail usually in the form of postcards, sales letters and product samples. The main goal is to get quick response from the target customers to purchase a product or service.

This type of advertising medium is particularly attractive option as it can communicate the necessary information and reach target market for a relatively low cost. Direct mail printing and mailing can focus on exact demographic for the product or service. Utilizing it eliminates wasting resources from other campaigns that do not target the desired market. In that case, this is mostly beneficial of businesses that cannot afford television or print advertising because of the high cost involved, but larger businesses can also benefit from it. In addition, direct mail also gives the opportunity to know if the company is targeting the right audience and to keep track of the responses.
