Snow then Rain
Last night was snowing but then in the morning it was raining, we had a really strength weather this year and also last year. This is my second winter here in Sweden, even we don´t have much snow but it´s still really cold here. I´m wondering if I visit Philippines and feel the 25 to 30 degree Celsius maybe I feel like I´m in hell LOL. Anyway I am hoping that we will have a really snow before the spring comes! Here´s some picture I took from our balcony and you can see I wrote my name.

My husband bought a wine for me
My husband bought a wine for me because I asked him last time that I wanted to have a kind of wine which tastes sweet and he found this "sweet sherry wine" and when I tasted it and I love it! So when we have a dinner we prefer to have a glass of wine instead of water. Hey don´t think that we are alcoholic hehehe, we used to drink wine once a month or maybe and sometimes we don´t drink. We usually drink when we celebrate something and wine is good for the health too if you don´t drink too much.

Visit to my Mother - in - Law
We received a bad news about my mother-in-law she´s was emergency took to the hospital because of hard breathing. Earlier my husband received a called from my father-in-law saying that my mother-in-law was in the hospital after that called we were so worried and we decided not to wait until tomorrow to visit her so we immediately went to the hospital. And were so happy knowing that my mother-in-law is fine now but she still need to stay for maybe one or two days to make sure that she is really fine, I like her a lot because she is nice to me since I came here in Sweden. Anyway it was my very first time to visit a hospital since I lived here for one and half of a year.
Result
School was so stressful for me because it´s more difficult now, before I never try to study but now almost my book is besides me all the time. This term where am I now makes me realized how hard to learn language sometimes it could me fun I admit! When I read Swedish book and too much Swedish word goes in my brain then I get headache hehehe, I don´t know why it just thought that way.
I had mentioned in my previous post that I went to seminar to get work, but sad to said I need like the offer of the company. Maybe you wonder why I applied to get work, it doesn´t mean that I will stop to go to school if I get work but I wouldn´t. I enjoy going to school meet new friends from different country, culture and many more!Next step apply in MC DONALD and restaurant, let see what will happen.

Blogging
Here comes the Sunday lasts day of my rest! Tomorrow will be my school week again and it means I need to wake up early in the morning which I don´t like it. Today I woke up 11 A.M ^_^ that´s my daily routine every week end and I just stay home for the rest of the week end I don´t go out because it ´s cold out side I prefer to be inside. And tomorrow I started my day by attending seminar for work and after that back to school until 4 P.M.
I´m just wondering
I´m wondering why some advertiser now give 50 cent review?? Sometimes I thought it´s not fair LOL because we do so much effort doing the review. I hope sooner this kind of offer will be gone, because I thought it´s not fair ^_^ 50 cent is too lower for making a review. Sometimes it´s get me irritated because almost all my review is from 2 dollar to 50 cent and I´m stuck with this 50 cent review, I don´t get new review because of it.I hope advertiser realized that 50 cent is almost nothing LOL.

Here in Sweden I don´t have much friends because some of Filipino her don´t talk to the on whom is new in the country ( I´m one of them ) I admit I have some friends but it´s only few of them who I can called a true friend. I miss eating together with them using our hands, I miss them badly.

Update
My first week in school was quick OK because no much assignment and school hehehe. But I can say that the subject is getting difficult, so now I need to study and read more that I never done last term. And now I´m trying to talk to my husband a Swedish language because I know that I will learn more when we talk Swedish. Sometimes when I talked to him Swedish he answered me English that´s funny he always asked apology for talking English with me. This term takes four months and one month practicum in the kindergarten. I am excited now to do my practicum again I miss my Cutie kids. Tomorrow will be the second week of my school and I knew that my schedule will start to be busy and I will not catch more review. Now I don´t have any review actually I have but they cost $0.50 cent and 200 words so I didn´t do it.
Saturday, 17 January 2009
Review
When I was checking one of my advertiser if I have a review and I saw how much their offer it was $0.50 cent. I was really surprised because I never seen that kind of offer before. I admit I am still new here but just can´t help myself not to be surprised about the offer, maybe it´s really crisis now all over the world and blogging was one who experience this crisis! This passed few days I don´t any review, as you know guys I get review here during one to two in the morning, my advertiser don´t give reviews during day and night time it always in the morning. So it´s not easy for me to get review I need to wake until two to three in the morning to catch review.

Missing my family
I been living here in Sweden for almost one and a half year, and my life style change a lot. Living here in abroad is not easy because first you are far away from your family and almost all your life style change. I couldn´t talk to my neighborhood here not like when I was in the Philippines almost I could slept to my neighborhood hehehe. The one killing me a lot of loneliness is when I´m home alone, nobody to talk to and that time I start to remember my family and friends in the Philippines, I couldn´t help not the compare the two country.
Anyway I´m getting better now because I don´t cry as I do before when I just got here in Sweden and now I could text to my family and friends everyday because I got my roaming number (thanks to Jenny who bought my simcard). You know guys I´m looking forward for my vacation this year I hope it will not be postpone again, because I miss my family like crazy specially my mama (mom).
I knew I must face this life I chose because I´m the one who decided to have this kind of life. I just need to used to this kind of life style here in abroad. I knew many people who want to go abroad like I do before but I just want to warn you that it´s not easy as what you think to live in abroad away from the family or friends. There´s many good things here in abroad but without a family beside it´s still like nothing at least for me. I thought I can do this as long as I have my husband with me who is always there for me no matter what happen.

First Day In School
I had mention in my last post that I didn´t received any letter information from school. And today was our first school, it was not good first day school for me and for the rest of my classmate because we don´t have any idea which rooms we will go so this morning we went to school information and finally we knew which room we will go to study. I am excited to start to go to school and happy too because almost all my classmate lasts year is still my classmate now, but then there´s new people who is a little bit not nice. It just my impression who knows maybe sooner they will be my new friends. As usual I have a whole day class, I´m not looking forward to wake up early in the morning but there´s nothing I can do that´s how life is ^_^.

When I talked to my dad in head phone I was crying that I almost couldn´t talked to him. That´s why I couldn´t slept this passed few days and also I dreamed about my dad.

Swedish Language
I don´t feel well today, I had a bad runny nose and I slept four in the morning lasts night. I don´t knew why I couldn´t slept last night maybe I have an insomnia. This is my two last day vacation because on my day I will start school, but it was strength because I didn´t get any letter information which classes I will go. We always received letter information which classes we go , I already called my classmates if they received letter but they said they didn´t received any letter too, maybe not this year.
Anyway I´m excite to go back to school to see new teachers and classmates, I miss my classmates and teachers, waiting my tram to get me to school, I miss talking Swedish except waking up in the morning that I don´t like. It´s strength really I go to school not only to learn my profession but to learn Swedish language instead of reading and talking Swedish I talked English and read English book too LOL.
Me and my husband used to talked English we couldn´t help it we always said to each other that we talk Swedish but we couldn´t ^_^. Sometimes when I am in school and talking to my classmates I talked Swenglish ( mixed English and Swedish ) hehehehe. I need to be ready to start to talk Swedish again, I almost forgot all Swedish words I knew! This is the time I need to train my Swedish again.

Credit Card Security Tips
This morning I recieved a mail from my friend and the message is all about " Credit Card Security Tips " I wanted to share it to everybody here`s the message I hope this help for everybody.
Be sure to read Scene 3.
Quite interesting.
SCENE 1.
People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, don't they?
A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker.
After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker. Hmm.' He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order.
Everything looked okay - all cards were in place.
A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000!
He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions.
Customer care personnel verified that there was no Mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen.
'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made.
An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet.
The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards.
Verdict:
The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing
earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.
How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?
$9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped?
Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies.
It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to one big one!
SCENE 2.
A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card.
The bill for the meal came, he signed it, and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along.
Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket.
Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and
behold, it was the expired card of another person.
He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.
She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.
All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong
expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card.
No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology.
Verdict:
Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.
Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time.
Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs.
FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!
SCENE 3:
Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in.
I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my checking account.
The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure.
While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing.
I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture..
He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as
if he was still pressing buttons.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of,
oblivious to what was really going on.
It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he is doing.
He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open.
About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the
picture has been saved.
Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card.
Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of
phone, I probably would never have known what happened.
Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlor.
All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times
Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless.
Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card..
Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.
When you are in a restaurant and the waiter/waitress brings your card and receipt for you to sign, make sure you scratch the number off.
Be sure to read Scene 3.
Quite interesting.

After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker. Hmm.' He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order.
Everything looked okay - all cards were in place.
A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000!
He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions.
Customer care personnel verified that there was no Mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen.
'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made.
An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet.
The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards.
Verdict:
The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing
earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.
How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?
$9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped?
Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies.
It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to one big one!
SCENE 2.
A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card.
The bill for the meal came, he signed it, and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along.
Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket.
Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and
behold, it was the expired card of another person.
He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.
She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.
All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong
expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card.
No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology.
Verdict:
Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.
Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time.
Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs.
FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!
SCENE 3:
Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in.
I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my checking account.
The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure.
While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing.
I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture..
He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as
if he was still pressing buttons.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of,
oblivious to what was really going on.
It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he is doing.
He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open.
About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the
picture has been saved.
Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card.
Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of
phone, I probably would never have known what happened.
Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlor.
All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times
Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless.
Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card..
Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.
When you are in a restaurant and the waiter/waitress brings your card and receipt for you to sign, make sure you scratch the number off.

PR 3
The weather here in Sweden is strength because we got -7 degrees Celsius but we didn´t got any snow, can somebody explains it LOL?. It´s in the middle of winter season now but we don´t got any snow, what a strength Country huh. I love to walk in the snow because it´s like I´m walking in a big bowl of Halo Halo dessert (It´s a Filipino dessert) hehehe. It´s pretty cold here that´s why I almost don´t go out, I´m stuck here in my computer room and starting to addicted to my blogging world. I hope we will got snow sooner because I miss it.
Anyway I was searching to Google "how to find my pr" (Page Rank) this morning. I was surprise because I got PR 3, I couldn´t believe it so I try to paste my URL to several Site to find PR but it´s still appear my PR is 3. I been bogging for a half of a year now and I love it because beside earning some bucks I met a very good friends through blogging that´s the most I´m thankful with. I think dropping EC helps me a lot to get that PR, giving comments to my fellow bloggers and updating my blog almost everyday. Now I am always here in my computer for the whole day so no question that my PR is like that. But sooner I will start my school again and I´m excited about it. I try my best to update my blog, I have been addicted to it hehe. I´m looking forward to meet friends all over the world through my blog.
