You probably won’t notice anything weird but if you’re getting paid thousands of dollars to do these movie posters, perfection is the key.
Reading ten to twenty resumes is what I do every morning ever since I was assigned to hire a new writer for our virtual company. We don’t have a Human Resources department yet so it’s up to me to find the best candidates. At first, the idea sounded really cool. Imagine having the power to hire someone, change his/her life but it turned out it’s not as easy as it seems. For one, it’s just hard to find good people. So they are all experienced but they most of them lack work ethics or even loyalty at all. It seems people will jump at the first sight of greener pastures. I don’t take it against them but I need to find someone who will stay with us for a long time. Someone we can trust and guarantee that will do their best to be a part of the company’s success. So far, all of them are interested on what we can give them, not what they can give us.
Getting insurance quote online is so easy. No need to meet with agents personally or visit several insurance companies just to compare quotes. This is what I love about the Internet. Everything is just so convenient that if you choose, you don’t have to leave the house ever. I’ve seen some people had groceries brought to their houses so you won’t get hungry as well.
Best of all, you can shop all you want from the comforts of your home. And speaking about shopping, I’m thinking of getting these.
I’m so glad that I don’t have to find a job even when the company I was working for last March decided to close shop. With so many projects coming in now that I’m a freelancer, my schedule is as busy as when I’m working full time. I like to thank my loyal clients who not only give me projects almost every month but never fails to recommend me to their friends and colleagues. I could say that most of my projects now are through word of mouth. I don’t even advertise and yet I receive plenty of requests which makes me feel so blessed. It helps that I have finally updated my portfolio site so I also receive a few offers from that as well. The best of all, I manage my own time and don’t need to answer to anyone’s rules.
1. Holiday feasts everywhere you go.

1. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses,
And all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
He’s probably taking a break from all that walking. He has a big head after all and it can get pretty heavy.
2. If Mother Goose and Father Time had kids, what would they look like and what would they be named?
A goose with a beard. Now that’s one ugly kid. Name would be Hermione Weasley. Why? Because I just finished watching Order of the Phoenix on DVD and they are still on my mind.
3. Does Barbie have kankles?
Probably yes. She can’t very well be that perfect!
4. Have you ever been featured in a magazine?
Yes, when I was younger. Twenty years younger haha.
5. Did your parents keep a baby book for you? If so, how often have you looked through it?
Sadly no. They have better things to do back then than keep a book for me. There’s food, shelter and education. But I do keep a lot of baby books for my daughter so she can say yes to a future question such as this.
Just want to share what I received from LBC today.
It contains my daugher’s Little Einsteins dolls – Quincy and Leo (she already has Annie and June) AND … wait for it … the items below:
All the prizes from Glo’s online birthday party! I won a total of eight items: Lancome Luxe lipstick, Loreal HIP shadow duo, NYX jumbo lip pencil, NYX sheer gloss, NYX sheer gloss 2, gap body velvet bloom, VS secret garden, bath & body works hand gel. Mostly face/lip products. Good thing I’m not prone to acne or trying out any of these might get difficult.
I still can’t believe I won all of these. And here I am thinking I never get to win on raffles. I guess I was pretty lucky that night, but not as lucky as Peachy obviously. She won the much coveted Coach bag after all!
Thanks again Glo! What a grand way to celebrate one’s birthday. 
Sunday has long gone but I’d like to do this anyway.
