Quick Bytes..

A couple of posts back, I shared my wish to pursue further studies online and that my course of choice (if ever) is Health Informatics (IT) coz it will complement my Medicine background and my love for computers =) As I browsed through Capella University’s site, I got interested in their online psychology degree. Psychology is another field I’m interested in, as well as Psychiatry. For me, the human mind is very elusive to all the experiments we’ve done to elucidate how it functions, how it works superbly. There is so much to discover about it, as well as how (and why) people interact the way they do. Mental health is a serious issue for me, and I think a course in Psychology and/or Psychiatry would do me good =)

Snag this one if you like! =) And guys, 4 more days to Christmas!!!

Do an online search for online university and one school name that will keep popping up is that of capella university. I checked their website and I was amazed with the amount of courses they offer! Imagine, they have 104 graduate and undergrad specializations and 15 certificate programs in the fields of business, information technology, education, human services, public health, public safety, and psychology. I’m sure you’d find something that would suit your brain. As for myself, I’ve always wanted to pursue further studies online but I was unsure what online school I should trust with my tuition money. Hehe! And from the courses I saw in Capella University, I’m kinda leaning towards Health Informatics (IT). I feel the course will complement my background in Medicine =) Now all I need is the tuition money, and that should be in dollars baby!

Just received an email from Victoria’s Secret, and what do you know! It’s time for their Semi-Annual Sale!!! That’s ONLINE, of course so less hassle for you. If your a VS fan, go go go! =)

The greatest thing in this website is that it offers more than hotel reservations despite their site’s name. They offer packages with airplane flights, car rentals, even tours! How cool is that?? Though you could also choose the combination you want while searching for deals, i.e. flights and tours only or car rental and resort only, etc. I tried the site and compared the prices they quoted for my searches against other travel sites, and boy, were they competitive! Most price quotes were cheaper, some were at par with the other sites. But Hotel Reservations doesn’t stop there, they also offer discounts on top of their cheap prices. And that applies to worldwide destinations. Yes my dears, this site is not limited to the US or Europe, but all over the world! I tell you, this site is really great. But why continue reading here when you can check out the site and see for yourself? Go and try their travel searches, you might be tempted to travel with their cheap prices! =) And the next time you want hotel discounts, or more than that, use their website first for better deals k?

Yum
yum! While most people dislike eating fruitcake, I adore it! Why?
Coz my mother makes the most scrumptious fruitcakes ever!Ü Her secret?
She doesn’t scrimp on the ingredients — she uses imported glazed
fruits, molasses and liquor for that hard to beat delish fruitcake
taste! And per tradition, my mother bakes lots of this for giveaways to
relatives and friends. Want one?Ü

A male cousin (hi Manong Oy!) just announced that he’s gonna wed his longtime sweetheart from our hometown next year. We are all excited about it coz this is the Tan family’s first wedding that’s going to take place in Kidapawan, our hometown. Manong Oy’s elder brother got married last year but it was in the hometown of the bride so most of the Tan family members weren’t able to attend. And then a high school friend of mine is busy preparing for her April wedding next year. Good thing she and her future hubby has plenty of money so they are able to hire a wedding coordinator. Less stress, lol! Anyway, all this wedding news got me thinking about my own wedding…
.

Already, I can feel the pressure of planning and making things happen. Wahh! Happily, there are wedding websites that will help you plan the wedding of your dreams. The websites will even help you find the perfect place for your honeymoon. For now, I just contented myself with downloading the wedding planning checklist just to make myself familiar with the things that need to be done FIRST. By the way, if you are by chance living in Buffalo and is planning your own wedding too, check out Buffalo Weddings. They have plenty of wedding resources specifically found in your local area. Neat!

If I were an illegal drug, I would be — COCAINE! Oooh, scary! And exciting at the same time, lol! Hehe! =) Go answer this fun quiz!

Your Personality Is Like Cocaine

You’re dynamic, brilliant, and alluring to those who don’t know you. Hyper and full of energy, you’re usually the last one to leave a party. Sometimes your sharp mind gets the better of you… you’re a bit paranoid! At your best: You’re confident, euphoric, and feel like you’re on top of the world. What people like about being around you: You’re intense and overpowering. What people dislike about being around you: You can be arrogant… and a bit of a jerk. How addicted people get to you: Incredibly addictive. And hanging around with you isn’t cheap!

For some reason, phone chat and chat lines are popular these holidays. Might it be because people are looking for someone special to share the cold season with? Or maybe they just want to take advantage of the free chat service being offered by websites like Talk121, hehe! I, for one, can’t resist freebies! And if the freebie would allow me to yak for hours over the phone, well, I won’t certainly pass it up! Would you? ;p
