I am a voracious reader but in today’s economic situation, buying or subscribing to magazines is out of the question. However, that doesn’t mean I would stop reading and give up the chance to improve my knowledge on different topics. I have discovered and used creative ways on not spending a cent on quality subscriptions yet still enjoy reading.

• Borrow from friends and colleagues - I’m sure you know somebody who subscribe to international magazines such as Reader’s Digest and Time. Why not borrow from them? Ask your friends to lend you magazine issues which they have already finished reading. Just take care of the magazines as if they were you’re own and return promptly. Read the rest of this entry »

My officemate was surprised to receive an e-mail from our client requesting for money. She became suspicious since it was really unusual since a client would never send us an e-mail like that. She immediately called the person and it was confirmed that the e-mail hackers logged on to her e-mail address and changed the password . The person can no longer logged on to her e-mail and everybody in her address book received the same letter requesting for money.

These hackers are really getting creative with their craft. Here’s the content of that e-mail which I retyped in toto including the wrong spellings and grammar.

Lucio Tan’s 8 Secrets to a Happy Life originally appeared at Inquirer.net. It is very timely considering the difficulties we face today. A lot of people know that Lucio Tan had humble beginnings before he became a tycoon. Let’s learn from this successful businessman and who knows? We might be next. Below each principle are my own personal reflections.

1. Work hard to achieve your dreams.

There really are no shortcuts in life. How many of those who won the lottery really made good use of their money? Only a few I’m sure. Something that is not earned the hard way is lost easily. But something which you have worked hard for is valued and protected for life.

This blog has Google Page Rank 3 and I don’t think I deserve it. I sound like I’m complaining but my point here is that I have another blog, PromdiLiving.com, which is a PR 0 but I think deserves a PR 3 instead of this one. I started both blogs at about the same time, November of 2007. I migrated all my posts from gladita.wordpress.com to PromdiLiving so basically it has more content and more links than RaketScience. I also update it more often.

My fault really is that I haven’t looked into how Google Page Rank works and I didn’t study Search Engine Optimization. So I don’t know how exactly this blog got a PR3. Probably becaue a lot of people are searching ‘make money‘ and ‘entrepreneurship‘ that’s why I get more hits. And if you Google ‘raket‘ you’ll get my blog on the front page. It’s just very fortunate that the word ‘raket’ is racket in another language.

Mag On Wood Theme from ChiQ Montes of WPThemeDesigner has the elements I’ve been looking for in a theme. I’ve seen the same qualities mostly in Premium Themes. However, if I can get the same features from a free them then it would be a better option.Support is also a deciding factor for me. ChiQ Montes provides Support for the themes she designs.

There are loads of beautifully designed free Wordpress Themes out there that it’s hard to make your choice. When I choose a theme I make sure it somehow reflects my personality and the topic of my blog. An important consideration also is the ease of customization.

Leave those techie stuff to the experts.

In today’s economic crunch, we should always prepare ourselves for any event affecting our personal finances. There’s no such thing as job security. Small companies close shops and bigger companies sometimes need to trim down employees. Even government is rationalizing and getting rid of redundant organizations and positions. In events like these, we have to thank for rakets or freelance jobs to cushion the effects of loosing a permanent job.

Filipinos as tourists are spenders. Bringing home ‘pasalubong’ is a must. A loved one would always receive a small token from someone’s vacation. Thus, with a booming tourism industry comes the need for souvenir items.
