Booking.com - please be wary!


When it comes to booking, several online engines arise from within. But before confirming your booking you need to have some checklist to avoid misunderstanding.

Nowadays, booking.com is very popular. I'm not saying only this but several (expedia, travelocity, orbitz) and many others. And if you compare the prices then you will say that booking.com has really the best rate on the net today.

So let's take a closer look for one upcoming booking to Dubai. I tested booking.com and I have my own checklist which I'll reveal later.

Philippines—The July 2011 Nursing Board Exam held July 2 and 3, is still heating up the heads of all Filipino nurses. Obviously, most of them are armored with gained knowledge from the review to battle the 2 day exam series. But reality really bites, as they cannot take off the employment issues after they took the exam. The real challenge is how to drive your way to land a job.

I freshly remembered when I was in CDO (Cagayan De Oro) City for my board exam. Come listen to my story.

30 days or 31 days? - A Fist of Fury

Have you ever wondered why number of days in a month fluctuates? Could either be 30,31 or even 28 (for February only). Then if you want to have an idea to simply have a cheat sheet to remember to exactly how many days in each month then you have found the best answer because seconds from now, I am going to reveal.


I am not in the position to explain the why's for now as if the first sentence of this article was saying. I will left it as your assignment. Now let us take a look at the photo below.


It's not a bird, neither a plane, but a fist. Yes, a bare fist. How would we connect this fist to remembering the exact number of days in each month? Then let's follow.

Working Abroad- Do not become another VICTIM!

You might have come here as a stranger, accidentally clicked your mouse somewhere, or you were surprised because this page exist. But I will give you an exciting point to ponder whenever starting a new job offer. Because of the global recession most of us are hoping for better jobs that suits our financial needs. If you have planned to apply a new job, or if you are a fresh graduate and is planning to work as soon as you can then I commend you for doing such. Planning is 50% of your goal to be accomplished. So, 50% of the work is done, and the other 50? The rest will always depend on how you do your angle.



Here are 5 points that you need to consider whenever you are offered a job ABROAD.

A quick tip for US Seasonality- a simple mnemonic remedy



You've got a friend. Having heard about this famous song from artist James Taylor? Here's how it goes...

When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand, and nothing, whoa nothing is going right,



Ooops, sorry to cut you off. I know that you are singing now as this song is truly a bizarre one. Let's get into the chorus now...




You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, 
all you got to do is call and I'll be there,
yeah, yeah, yeah.


...and you got a friend like me! Now, lets get into the mnemonics part. I have used this song as a melody and is easy to remember. If you are confused with US seasons, to when their summer starts or when is winter then this is the solution of your unwanted confusion. 

Remember the bold letters in the chorus. WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, FALL. Then it goes like this. Remember that WINTER months are December, January, and February. Now the same pattern will go with SPRING, months of March, April, and May. So on and so forth. The below structure will take its summary.

WINTER-Dec, Jan, Feb
SPRING-Mar, Apr, May
SUMMER-Jun, Jul, Aug
FALL-Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec

The key here is just to remember Winter (which is the first season mentioned in the song) and December as the start of winter. So if you have this, anywhere, anytime so can always recall. 

For the US citizens this is just nothing, but with other nationalities which are willing to go, visit, study or even FYI's at least we have figured it out.

So the next time you are caught in the middle of a clueless act, then you can rebut easily. 


Cheers!
