A customize postcards are great for Christmas and Holiday greetings. Even if you have party, you can invite your family and friends by sending them the customize card that you design and created. If you prefer not to make your own design there are also lots of postcard templates that you can find online and give you an idea on the design that you like. You may notice that with the inception of digital technology, everything from writing a letter to sending a postcard is become a little bit impersonal. Most people still prefer getting things from mailbox especially during holidays and special occasion. This makes them feel more special. - Ness

It is better to have a backup software directory that includes program for making second copy of your computer files. Currently I am using a portable mybook where I make a duplicate of all the files that I have in my laptop. At least I have last resort if in case accident or catastrophe happens. - Ness

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine. We are currently using DSL at home with only 54Mbps, sometimes I have problem with the connection speed especially if more than two of us are accessing the internet. We are planning to shift to charter ultra fast 60Mbps. What I like is that they have the “triple-play” bundle which you can combine the cable television, high-speed-internet and telephone services in one. Which I think is more convenient and more affordable for us, since currently we are paying it separately, we have different cable TV and telephone & internet provider. During my free time I love to play and watch movie online, sometimes I experience pauses and jumping while watching the movies in my current internet connection. Having a bigger bandwidth I think is the best solution not just on the streaming speed but also when I will download and upload bigger files online. One of the best facets of cable broadband service is that... - Ness

This recipe that I will share with you may surprise you. It’s too simple to be good as they say. This is so straightforward. Here’s what you need. 1 pound ground chuck (beef shoulder) 2 onions, shaved 1 teaspoon salt 6 slices American cheese 6 buns Mustard Heat a heavy, well oiled skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Loosely gather a handful of meat and slip it into the pan. Repeat a total of 6 times, working in batches as needed. The burgers should be free-form lumps. With the side of a spatula, push the burgers into a semblance of a round. After about a minute, pile on all the onions, add half the salt, and then, with a much force as you can manage, smash the onions into the meat. Drain some of the grease that collects. Sprinkle on the remaining salt. Arrange the cheese on top and cook until the cheese melts and you smell the onions start to burn. From Hamburger and Fries of John Edge - Ness

A friend of mine decided to expand their business to China, one of the challenges that he faces is that he need a translator that will translate its tag line to Mandarin.

Last weeked, I went to Washington, DC to meet a friend. That was the second time I've been in DC. The first time I went there was last year during the US Independence Day. If you want to visit all the tourist spots including all the museums in DC, give at least two to three days and make a plan ahead of time, especially if you are not familiar with the area. One day is not enough to visit all the museums. Some of the magnificent landmarks in DC that we didn't visit are the Union Station, the U.S. Capitol and the U.S. Botanic Garden. Smithsonian Institution in DC, is the world's largest museum complex and research organization composed of 19 museums, 9 research centers, and the National Zoo. Last weekend we visited only two museums, the American History Museums (History of science, technology, society and culture in America) and the Natural History Museum. We also went to Washington Monument and this is how it look like in day time and when the sun starts to hide. - Ness

Some people even at young age have already poor vision problem. Treatment at early stage is very important. Whatever the cause, vision changes should never be ignored. They can get worse and considerably affect the quality of ones life. There are many causes for poor vision, some are very simple and treated easily by just wearing eyeglasses, contact or undergo laser (iLasik) procedure. The common causes of vision problems include fatigue, overexposure to the outdoors (temporary and reversible blurring of vision), and many medications. It is very important that when reading, watching TV, using the computer is to take breaks and exercise your eyes. Be in a well lighted consistent room. I found out that Abbott Medical Optics Inc.

It so simple to join the contest, you just need to submit a video based on the category that they provided in the site. Make sure that the video will... - Ness

For some people losing weight is not an easy process. Sometimes it became a struggle that they will do something drastic to see the instant result. Based on what I read the true secret to lose weight is to make small changes each and every day and you will not notice that you are slowly losing the extra pound that you don't need. I don’t believe that pills or those weird fitness gadgets will give instant success. Being healthy is the key, I read in The Healthy Bitch blog that she eats more fresh fruits & vegetables, whole grains, buts and organic foods, which I think is more effective than taking dietary pills. Exercise is also an important factor in losing weight, but how much you need differs from person to person. Walking, taking the stairs instead of the elevator and doing the household chores can burn calories are great help as well. - Ness

One rule of thumb to save, is to get things at the end-of-the-season. Clearances present huge savings to savvy shoppers with the foresight to plan with the foresight to plan ahead for next year. For example buying women's swimsuits during fall or winter. It is already November, for sure you will get lots of clearance for swimwear and other summer clothes. Retailers just want to their remaining swimwear stock leftover from this summer and remove it from their shelves. Because of the economy fall down, how to save is important point nowadays, and there are many diverse buying alternatives available for buying swimwear. There is no major design change in Swimwear so for sure the one that you will buy today will still be trendy by next summer. - Ness

Aside from water which is my primary source of liquid, I like also all varieties of tea from black to green but I never tried the white tea yet. What I like in the tea is its natural properties that can help to boost our immune systems, some says that it can prevent plaque build-up and will protect us against skin cell damage. I also like organic chocolate soy milk this serves as my replacement for cow’s milk because I suffer from lactose intolerance. They also suggested drinking hemp or rice milk as alternative but I never tried these yet. For juice drink, I prefer 100% tropical juices like pineapple, guava, mango, and oranges. - Ness

I have nothing to do today and I am planning to make and design my own personal business card just to make me busy. I found some free business cards online and you just pay shipping fee, but what I don’t like is that they put logo and company name on the back of the cards. Having your own personal business card in handy is very useful if you are scouting for job or even if you just attending like professional gathering, vacations or in special occasions. With this I can easily distribute my cards in not-so-formal situations. I found lots of design online that I am planning to personalize to make it unique and more desirable. - Ness
