Twilight books for download

I have never been a fan of books written in series. Unless it’s a photography or gadgets magazine, I do not spend my time reading a bunch of texts.

Welcome 2009

People lit up the firecrackers. Most buy rounded fruits. Some wear polka-dots. But I have only one tradition whenever I welcome the New Year. That is, to put coins around my room, specially in the windows.

Looking forward to a prosperous 2009. Happy New Year to all!

It explains the legal basis of our rest day.

Sleeping in the job is good

Call center agents have always been sleep-deprived. Since our body clock is naturally set to sleep at night, I seldom have a deep sleep during the day. Perhaps it’s the noise and the heat that prevents me from having that “good-day” sleep. MORE »

The Moment of Truth for GMA, Neri

One of the shows I’m currently hooked with is Fox’s The Moment of Truth.
