I was surfing the internet when I was told of a Armand Rousso Philately article. As a stamp collector myself, albeit not a serious one, I have always been fascinated with collecting stamps from around the world.

My mother, who used to work as a postal clerk where selling stamps was her work, started collecting stamps as a hobby and passed her stamp collection to me later on.

If you have ever wondered what are the benefits of collecting stamps and what you can get out of your collection then you have to read this article by Armand Rousso. He wrote a comprehensive article with reasons why young children, adults and even the elderly can achieve from stamp collecting.

The other day, shortly after being rank spanked, I got a fright when my traffic statistics did not record any traffic at all. I was thinking that maybe my blog has unfortunately been de-indexed from the major search engine and that’s why internet users were not able to come to my blog from search results. But then I also thought, don’t tell me not even one person is using Yahoo! Search?

Since I do not have any other traffic trackers on my blog except StatCounter which I am using via the plug-in, I thought I would check out my traffic from my NuffNang account. Traffic records are one hour delayed but that is good enough. It was well into the day already and my StatCounter was still showing a big fat zero for a few blogs.

NuffNang was able to record my traffic and I was pretty relieved. To double confirm, I visited these affected blogs from my iPhone using the Safari browser and true enough, my visit was not recorded.

Phew, believe me when I say that I got a scare!

A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to help my neighbor get some home medical supplies. You may remember me mentioning that his wife suddenly fell ill. She is already 80 years old, by the way, and he is even older and it is inconvenient for him to go to town for these supplies. That’s why we help them whenever we could.

Being as busy as I am, I thought that I would just shop online. I remember about an online retailer of home medical supplies called Allegro Medical and the discounts that they offer making them one of the most sought after online store when it comes to shopping for medical supplies.

I may not have bought from them before but I trust that it will be a pleasant experience. After all, Allegro Medical has been online since 1996.

A friend told me that he is moving to Singapore at the end of the year. And I said that there is plenty of time to find a reliable moving company, right? He said that no, he would have to spend time asking around and surfing the internet to get the best quotations from the best movers.

In the United States, there is a Service Network where movers have joined to provide reliable moving services to customers. These movers have already been checked to ensure that they are able to offer what they claim they could. This high standard ensures that all the movers in this Service Network are quality movers with high integrity in their service.

If there is such a network over here, then we do not even have to worry about getting fleeced by a mover, like what my friend is feeling right now. What we need is a body to help us check these companies and only offer services from these companies to clients.

It’s the start of a brand new year once again and I am still not able to find time to enroll myself in a college. Like mentioned previously, I already know that my only hope of gaining a higher education is through online education. Elearning is nothing new to my family as my Uncle has an elearning institute where he arranges classes online for his students who are all working adults.

I was introduced to Capella University, an accredited university that has offline and online campuses and was established in 1993. I was told that I would be able to enroll in whatever course I am interested in because they do have many courses, from certification courses to undergraduate to post graduate studies. I could even study masters in psychology if I wanted to, provided I qualify, of course!

I know I have to be proactive and do something about it if I want to improve myself. I don’t want to procrastinate any longer!

If you are familiar with Malaysian cookie cutter homes then you would know that our shower cubicles and bathrooms are very basic. Those who could afford it would have renovated them upon purchase of the house but most of us “make do” until at least after we have finished paying off our mortgage.

I was talking to y parents the other day that it is high time we did a little remodeling to our home. This idea came about after viewing photographs of my sister’s home in the United States and I really would like to have a Western style bathroom that is as large as a small room! On top of that, I have been inspired by the renovation work that my cousin discussed with me on her home in London.

I did a little online research and sought out the website of True Shopping, a site my cousin mentioned that we could be high quality shower enclosures at very reasonable prices. My cousin did mention that she has her eye on one of the shower enclosures here as they provide free shipping to mainland United Kingdom on orders above £50.00 and that is a lot of savings that could be gained!

Both my sister and cousin told me that it is fun to remodel their bathrooms and they took the chance to really splash on bathroom accessories. I tell you, nowadays, people use their bathrooms for more than just bathing, judging by the time, money and attention that are spent on making the little room as luxurious as possible!
