Advertising has been very important in reaching out the world. Two days ago, while I was reading and browsing blogs through Entrecard, there was a video showing how the world has advanced from the past and some other comparisons. To reach an audience of 50 millions, the internet took just few years to be able to do it. Hence, the opportunities to advertise in the internet are endless. Bloggers like me do advertising for advertisers in all sorts of forms such as banner display, text link as well as a post to review the service and websites.

The weather lately was cool and it rained for the past few days. I always check the weather forecast from my Yahoo! weather widget on the desktop. Sometimes, I do check weather on BBC weather forecast. One interesting thing that I discover while checking BBC weather forecast is they use the term shower and rain.

Shower – A brief fall of precipitation
Rain – Condensed water falling from a cloud
Precipitation – Any or all of the forms of water particles that fall from the atmosphere

In another word, to my understanding, shower is equal to rain except that shower could be anything including rain. Meteor shower for example. Well, why can’t BBC just put it as rain instead of forecasting rain in the morning, shower in the afternoon and rain again in the evening? I do not understand quite well. Do you?

I have a naughty thought lately. Well, not that kind of naughty stuff you are thinking that I am thinking right now. I would like to change my phone again. You know, just a thought. Obviously, Mee is not quite agreed with me. I am using a Sony Ericsson P990i but I am thinking of trading it for Sony Ericsson P1 by paying extra pounds. P1 has the same functionality as P990i. However, P1 has double the RAM, 3.2MP camera and smaller. Maybe after a few days later, I will eventually abandon the thought.

While I was looking for the best price package of Nintendo DS Lite for Mee in UK, it seemed that most of the retailers are selling at quite a similar price. I would only want to pay for the console unit and a game for £100 and eventually, I found it at Zavvi. However, when I browsed through online US retailers, their Nintendo DS Lite packages were all less than $150. That was a saving of £20 – £30. However, they only ship within US, not internationally.

Access USA is a mail forwarding company that will help international consumers to make purchases from US retailers because most US retailers do not ship overseas. Even if they do, the shipping rates are high compared to Access USA. Well, you may be thinking how are you going to make purchases from US retailers that do no ship overseas because you do not have a valid US address? Well, this is why the term mail forwarding comes in. Access USA will provide you with a US address that is unique to you. Access USA will then forward your purchases from the US address to your international address.

MyUS.com website website contains all the information that you need as well as applying for a mail forwarding account. It claims that its international shipping rate will save up you to 70% compared to other shipping companies. Visit the website now and it even has a rate calculator for you to estimate the price that you have to pay for shipping.

I have to stop. I have gone a little bit too far with the design process. Sometimes, the more I think, the more exaggerate design I create. Well, I believe that I need to keep it simple for now. In fact, I learn a lot by modifying some of the files and manage to manipulate some files so that it will display a post according to my customization rather than the defaults. But I have decided not to implement the bizarre changes.

The new academic year has started and all the tutors are back to the college. At 0830, there is hardly a decent parking space available. Well, what I mean by decent is that there are parking spaces beside bushes and it is quite a walk from my office.

Things are going quite peaceful at our rented house. Our landlord is ill but he might come today to collect the rent. Our housemate’s boyfriend has not left yet even though we were told that he will be staying only for two weeks. This is the third week. He is incredibly noisy. He does not walk, he marches. He does not close the door, he slams it. When he is in the kitchen, no matter day or night, the noise he makes is unbearable. The worst of all, he does not flush after using the toilet. We have no idea what he does in the toilet. I believe, my housemate’s boyfriend will go into my mysteries category.

On and off, I have been thinking of a question. Should I get myself an insurance policy now? This is a really hard question. I would like to have an insurance policy yet I am reluctant to pay monthly. I always receive calls from banks offering their best insurance policy yet I think there will always be a catch on all the offers.

Service is one of the most important factors. One of my friends had bought an insurance policy from an agent introduced by a close friend. During the process of discussion and reviewing quotes, the insurance agent was very friendly and always called my friend to check on the progress. Once the first payment was paid, the agent did not reply my friend’s call or provide any proof of payment. Eventually, she cancelled off the insurance policy.

However, I will buy an insurance policy when I am prepared to commit. Hmm… that may be the time when I will be thinking of getting a property of my own. Mortgage life insurance enables the policy holders to protect their home and family. In the past, most people usually get a regular term life insurance policy. However, policy holders are able to choose a return of premium policy or a universal life insurance policy. Both of the policies work quite the same by paying back policy holders all premiums paid at the end of the term.

About two years ago, I visited a Chinese physician regularly. During that time, he used an analogue blood pressure monitor to measure my blood pressure. Gladly, my blood pressure was normal. I was quite curious because he had to look at the flow of the mercury as he increased and decreased the pressure of the armband in order to determine the blood pressure’s measurement.

For a person with normal blood pressure, the measurement will be less than 120mmHg for systolic while less than 80mmHg for diastolic. The physician only explained to me as high and low. Somehow, blood pressure measurement will be affected easily through breathing and mood as well as the sitting posture. I had my blood pressure measured about two weeks ago when I went for the new patient check appointment with my local GP and it was normal. If I remembered my blood pressure measurement correctly, it was 110mmHg for systolic and 70 for diastolic. The only difference was the nurse used an electronic blood pressure monitor.
