Steve Jobs
I was saddened to hear the news that Steve Jobs died. I knew that he had a rare pancreatic cancer but I didn’t expect that he wouldn’t live much longer. Jobs had a secret liver transplant in 2009. He died at 56. He looked very weak and thin in the last video I saw him a couple of months ago. Steve Jobs is one of the greatest inventors and innovators in the modern technology. He made Apple computer really popular. He was the mastermind of Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes. My sympathy and condolence to his family and relatives.
Happy Labor Day!
It’s Labor Day! I am enjoying this long weekend with my husband. I really like it when he gets time off and gets to spend time with us. We really don’t have any exciting plans today except to do our filing. Anyhow, here in the U.S., we celebrate Labor Day on every first Monday of the month of September. (Wow, it’s already September, where did the time go?) Labor Day is to celebrate the economic and social contributions of workers. According to wikipedia, ” The first big Labor Day in the United States was observed on September 5, 1882, by the Central Labor Union of New York. It was first proposed by Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor in May 1882, after witnessing the annual labor festival held in Toronto.” Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday in 1887. Happy Labor Day everyone! Enjoy!
People searches
It is sad to think that there’s a point in our lives that we lost contact with our old friends, relatives or loved ones. However, the Internet has a lot of things to offer to us. Isn’t it amazing that you can get almost everything on the web? You can shop, find, do business, read, write, search, etc. The Internet has made people’s lives easier than ever before. In fact, you can search for people that you know online. However, searching for people online is not as easy as you think if you just use regular search engines.
With people search, it is achievable to find long lost friends nowadays. It is very possible to get in touch with people after such a long time. Unlike in the past, it was very hard to look for people. Like I said, the Internet has made people’s lives easier and more convenient than before. It is much easier to find people right from the comfort of home or using your computer.
Finding friends or people just by using your mouse and computer is very easy.
People search for other people for different reasons. Whatever the reason is, it is now possible for us to find people online. People searches is the solution for anyone who wants to find their long lost friends, bring back past friendships or get together with family members.
You have to use people search engine. This multiple pools of networks that contain gigantic amounts of data. Search engines are used on a daily bases with millions of searches carried out every minute.

Go green!
People are starting to recycle some thing instead of throwing them out. There are many inventive ways to recycle especially plastic bags. Here in the Southern California. There are many groceries stores that are still using plastic bags. I heard that late this year, they are going to charge customers for plastic bags. I really don’t know that exact amount. But it is already December, many grocery stores are still using plastic bags. I noticed some people are using tote bags for their groceries which I would say that it is more environmental friendly. I should also start using tote bag. To make use of plastic bags, here are the things you can do:
* Use them as bin liners. – I am using them as liners for our trash can. It is more useful that way than just throwing it out.
* Place them in the bottom of plant pots and hanging baskets – they act as great drainage systems.
* Scrunch them up to surround items when you’re packaging as an alternative to bubble wrap.
* Use them when packing for a holiday to keep dirty/wet clothes and shoes away from dry clothing.
* Use them as ‘doggy doo bags’ when out walking your dog!
* Some supermarkets recycle plastic bags, so you can return plastic bags to them.
* Re-use washed zip lock bags for sandwiches and snacks rather than using plastic wrap. I have a friend who washes zip lock bags to save money and recycling purposes. I really admire what she does.
To be happy and positive
Life is hard sometimes. But life does not have to end there. As Joyce Meyer says, “The key to happiness and fulfillment is not in changing our situation or circumstances, but in trusting God to be God in our life.” We can find true happiness with God. Happiness is not something that we create. It does not have to be an external factor. If you just rely on something or someone that will make you happy, surely you will never be happy. You are probably wondering how to stay happy and positive. I must admit I have a little bit problem with this area. However, here are some thoughts I have collected so far from my research. Here are a few simple steps that you can do every day to stay happy:
- Learn to be thankful. Thank the Almighty God for all the blessings you have received. Thank your loved ones, family and friends.
- Learn to laugh. Laughter is the best medicine.
- Learn to smile and appreciate what you have. Don’t you know that it takes about 17 muscles to smile and 43 muscles to frown?
