Me and my family love going to trade show exhibits. We love trade shows because we discover the best products of our town.

Generally, the products we are likely to buy are clothing, ornamental plants and home decors. We wear homemade clothes while at home because it we feel more comfortable on it.

We as well collect unique species of plants so it is easier to look for them during trade shows. And with home decors, we prioritize table covers for our table top display.

We use table runners to cover them. If we cannot find anything, we just look for fabrics with colorful prints and sew them together. We also mix them together with the covers of other appliances.

And when were done, its time to have some fun. We will ride on the merry-go-round and the ferris wheel and play spin-the-wheel. That is how we enjoy trade show exhibits.

Correct me if I got a wrong interpretation of trade show exhibits. This is what I thought it is. This topic may not be related to my blog but I am sure this is one of the hang-outs of the fat people.

Women perform during the Miss Fatty contest in Moscow June 24, 2007. The contest was part of festivities organised every year by Moskovsky Komsomolets youth-oriented newspaper at Moscow’s Luzhniki sports area.

I am planning to start my own business in the future. The type of business I would like to have is outsourcing. I want to improve my skills as a freelance writer and maybe look for potential individuals to work under my supervision.

I know that I need to invest before starting my own business. Here is a list of what I think are my cheap investments:

1. Carefully research relevant information relevant to my industry.
2. Take time to read the most important parts of the researched information.
3. Learn from mistakes.
4. Use earnings from writing sponsored posts wisely (e.g. buying a book about blogging).
5. Make it a conviction that no matter happens, do what is supposed to be done.

These are a few of my investments which I think can be used as guide to one’s success. It takes time but it is still worth it. And while I was searching about investing for small businesses, I have learned some new terms that I would like to share with you.

Angel Investor. This is an investor who is providing the capital for your business. You are an angel because you helped someone in starting his own business.
Angel investors are like sponsors who make donations to support businesses.

Venture Capital. This is a capital given by large companies and high-earning individuals to newly founded businesses for revenue purposes.

Funding. This is a way to save something for if you plan to start a business or a project. Save a few pennies everyday and you will be surprised that it has grown to support your needs.

Two months ago, I started to invest for my business. I just finished studying online reputation management. I bought another book on Ebay about corporate blogging. I see to it that I always drop a penny on my piggy banks everyday. I made a conviction that even though I do not have the right tool to improve my freelancing carrer, I still work hard to maximize my time from walking my dog, doing household chores, attending my class to making money online.

All I need is to believe like Po, the lazy panda in the movie Kung Fu Panda. Who would think such a big, fat panda could be a great kung fu master.

Again, again, again… I am catching up on another contest. I am trying my best to win again! That’s right. But of course, I have to stop by and have something to eat so that I have all the energy to reach the finish line with the most entries. Maybe a big mac, curly fires, spaghetti, mashed potato and a large coke float will do. Yummy. Now that makes me so hungry. Don’t wish for me to trip and fall, okay?

Its been a while that I have been blogging and joining contests was a part of it. Joining contests is not just a form of increasing web traffic, links, etc, but also a way to explore and meet new friends.

I love the life of being a blogger. My life had been so colorful as the rainbow with pots of gold all over it!

For the contest, this is hosted by the Life is Colorful blog. The contest was supposed to end by July 1 but they extended it until July 14, today. I checked the contest details and decided to join upon seeing the $3000 worth of prizes with so many sponsors!

Here’s my lucky pig pendant I bought from eBay. I had enough money from writing sponsored posts so why not go shopping. I loved pigs, so much that i have chosen to buy this item.

When I was still little, I love to play with pots. I cook in a clay pot any plant I could find, leaves, flowers, anything. I remember an experience cooking on a pot not knowing what the result will be. I never tasted it because it looked funny.

Now that I have grown, I loved pots even more. I have understood the importance of pots. Pots made every food more scrumptious. I have learned that post are not just used for cooking, it is also used for serving food.

We use crock pots to cook and serve our food. We always see to it that we have the best crock pots to save more money. We have different crock pots used for every type of food (meat, soup, vegetables and pasta).

“Blotter” is an imaginary baby. He is for real but since I can’t have him, I just made him my imaginary baby. Then, I found this girl who looks like him so I imagined her to be “Blotter’s sister, “Bambam”. Everyday, I imagined living with them. I talk to them, play with them, etc. This sounds crazy but I really loved to have kids like them.
