Ching’s Christmas Wishlist
Posted on November 19, 2007 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.

- Gorillapod for my new digital camera.
- iPhone. Thuy has one and it rocks. Now that it works with T-Mobile, there’s no reason not to get one. 🙂
- Rome. Seasons 1 and 2. I was really hooked on that show.
- Gap gift card. So I can buy me some new dress pants.
- Zappos or Shoes.com gift cards. I need some new work shoes.
- Franklin Covey gift card. Jenni got me one for my birthday. I just need to add a little bit more to it.
- Gift certificate to Beau Monde.
- Fossil Sedona handbag in cognac. I need a brown bag that is big enough to hold my stuff.
- Dress Smart
Women. Since our work dress code is fixing to get stricter, I need some wardrobe advice.
- Target gift card. I can usually find an inexpensive sweater or cardigan set there. Good for wearing to work and meeting the dress code while staying on budget.
- And world peace.


P.S. I will periodically add to this list as I think of stuff. Please be sure to keep checking back.

Starting Your Very Own Business
Posted on November 18, 2007 by Ching under Sponsored Post.
The other day at work we got to talking about Andale where a couple of my coworkers live. Andale is this small town Northwest of Wichita with a population of about 800. The town is so small you can walk to the Post Office or to the town’s one and only bar. You can pretty much walk everywhere. There’s really not much there. They do have a pretty good size high school, though.

Lance said that a pizza place recently opened. It didn’t make a good impression on him, though. He says that they really needed to do something special in order to attract customers. There was nothing extraordinary about this place. He gives them a year, he says.
That got me thinking. It would be awesome to own a mom and pop pizza parlor in a small town. Brian and I have always wanted to own a business of our very own. We’re just not very entrepreneurial so we don’t know where to start.
Although, I did come across this web site that provides commercial mortgage advice — Commercial Finance UK. They offer many useful resources. Their web site is a wealth of helpful information for those wanting to start their business and in need of funding.
Of course, we are not ready to do anything right now. But maybe ten to twenty years from now we’ll be able to make our dream of owning our own pizza parlor a reality.

The Fabulous Fleshtones

We went to see Doug’s band play last night at O’Sullivans (formerly My Room). They played at Stooges the last time but I had tons of school work that weekend. This weekend was a semi-free weekend for me, though. I get the week of Thanksgiving off so I’m taking a break from school work. Anyway, here are some of the pictures we took.

Online Dating Services
Posted on November 14, 2007 by Ching under Life, Movies, Sponsored Post.
Years ago it was taboo to have an online personal ad. Nowadays it is perfectly acceptable. Many happily married couples have started their relationships by first meeting through an online dating service of some sort. Movies like You’ve Got Mail romanticize online dating; while movies like Must Love Dogs and Because I Said So show that it is perfectly acceptable to meet someone through an online dating service specially if you weren’t the one who posted the ad.
For a lot of people, posting an online personal ad (or any type of personal ad) is still an icky prospect. Understandably so. There are so many pervs and wackos out there. Putting yourself out there, on the Internet, is pretty scary. You’ll never know what types of people you’ll run into. So even though the popularity of online dating services has grown at an exponential rate and society has become more accepting of this practice, I understand why so many people still hesitate.
Enter Prime Dating Sites. Prime Dating Sites reduces some of the risks of posting an online personal ad by providing reviews and information about the various online dating sites. This way you are able to select the matchmaking service that best suits your personality and lifestyle.
For example, someone looking for fun and excitement will be better served by certain online dating services; while individuals looking for serious relationships and possibly marriage are ideal candidates for eHarmony’s matchmaking service.
In the movie Must Love Dogs Sarah’s sister Carol put her profile on Perfect Match. A review of Perfect Match is available on Prime Dating Sites also. Prime Dating Sites is really helpful for singles who want to harness the power of the Internet in their search for friends, dates, or future life partners. Perhaps the only thing that maybe they could do different is post a comparison page of the different matchmaking services so that you could easily compare each side-by-side instead of having to click on every single review.
Anyway, I thought I would share this useful web site to all of our single blog readers. More power to you all!
