Clear!

For almost two years I battled acne...adult acne resulting from my stopping contraceptive pills. You all know how much I've spent for each and every acne product I thought would help. :( Still, some were never effective, others I just didn't continue to use. Despite knowing that using different products will aggravate the situation, I think it's only natural for those suffering acne to experiment...especially for faster results. I can now conclude that Dalacin was the one that stopped the bacteria from spreading all those nasty zits :D. Then Kojic soap helped in clearing not just dead skin but dark spots and scars...now, I only need to undergo skin peeling to remove the deeper scars. ;-) (It's not a procedure I really look forward too) *sigh*

Good Samaritans :)

Remember the Good Samaritan? One of the timeless stories about overcoming racial differences, helping those in need and sacrificing one's own for a neighbor. A  parable that exemplifies the ethics of Jesus Christ himself.

To this day, we do not travel with a donkey nor do we walk on long roads to reach our destination. (Though there are still undeniably undeveloped areas in the world who have and do those). The trouble we face is when getting flat tires, overheating and all problems included owning a car. Of course there would still be good Samaritans out there disguised as roadside assistant or more commonly known to us as doing rv towing and mechanics. Naturally, it's not free, we have to pay for the service, far from the Good Samaritan in the story who even paid for the Jew's stay in an inn. :)

Some more shoes

During summer, hubby enjoys biking with the kids. One thing I don't have the zest for. I always had problems when riding a mountain bike, I think my legs are too short for them. :D

When hubby still works at the central district he would take the bike, ride it until the train station, hop it in on the train and would get off somewhere near the workplace. On weekends he would go a trip round the Danube and take photos of the riverside. I don't remember him wearing any special bike shoes, just his usual everyday wear. You probably know now how I enjoy browsing online shops, saves me time, saves me energy and saves me lots of money too especially when they are on sale! I learned that there are different types of bike shoes, depending on a rider's use.

Cycling is very beneficial, that it helps lower toxins in the air, makes for a good exercise and saves parking spaces too. :D Using the appropriate shoes when riding could bring out the best experience. As usual, Shopwiki  (the ultimate  online shopping guide) provides helpful tips on how to find the best biking shoes, running shoes, golf shoes and sneakers even wedding shoes. Stiff sole for less waste of energy, a snug fit to avoid slipping, breathable materials for feet's comfort and of course the price for all it's worth.

Shop online at buy.com

Whichever country, state, town or street you are, I'm sure there's a shop that you hold close to your heart...not just for being literally close to your home but because they have cheap, useful and "cute" stuff. Coincidentally, they are either called Best Buy, The 99cents Store or The Thrift Shop. Of course, you'll find there stuff needed for the kitchen, bathroom like those little boxes, potpourri and more---what I call kulimpat (from klumpert). Such stores are like having a sale on the already on-sale items...

Online, there are many deals that you can find as long as you know where to look. There are many that offers discount and free shipping, buy.com is one of the more popular online shops. I'm talking about netbooks, cellular phones, monitors and other electronic gadgets...one that interests hubby more than I.

Eine Karriere als Übersetzerin

Ja, wirklich. Ich habe schon bei der Universität erkundigt wie man zur Translationswissenschaft sich einschreiben. Ich war einmal bei der Uni und habe auch per email gefragt. Nun habe ich noch nicht von jemanden gehört.

Zeit zwei Jahre habe ich diese Überlegung. Ich liebe andere Sprache zu lernen und eine Karriere als Übersetzerin kann man auch von zu hause ausführen. Wie Übersetzungswebseiten die das bietet online Services aber  meine würde persönlich, naturlich eine Arbeit in einen Übersetzungsbüro ist möglich. Ich nutze auch solche Webseiten wenn ich Spanische oder Japanische Wörter suchen weil ich habe Spanisch fast vergessen. Japanisch könnte ich nur sprechen aber lesen and schreiben nicht. :(  Übersetzungswebseiten arbeiten wie online Übersetzungsbüro...

Zur Zeit könnte ich nur Englisch-Deutsch, Deutsch-Englisch anbieten aber Tagalog ist auch möglich. Nur man braucht das nur für Auflagen fürs Visum und solche Dokumente. Zur Zeit gibt es in Wien einen offizielle Übersetzungsbüro für Tagalog...und für jede Dokumente muss man 35€ bezahlen. :P Also, ich hätte noch diese Woche wissen was wird passiert! ;)
