Discovering Classical Music

I enjoy classical music since I was a kid. Having been raised at a huge but poor family in the Philippines, we had no exposure to this kind of stuff. I only get a "glimpse" of it at some shopping malls where they play it endlessly. I think mall owners play it not because people enjoy it but just to have a somewhat soundtrack to keep the shoppers mind at ease.

I don’t even know the artist or whatever thing you call those who sang or play instruments, or who is conducting a symphony or what. I even thought that the person wearing a bowtie with a small stick in front of an orchestra had no reason for being there. I thought he was just being crazy and foolish. Imagine jerking yourself all the way to the music from start to finish.

I just knew that for some reason that I could not explain then, the music gives pleasure to my senses.

Some kids could well remember things from their childhood, like when they were still too little to remember. Say when they were two or three. I was one of them. And I know that at such an early age, I loved music. I listen to our old and beaten battery-operated transistor radio almost every minute of the day.

The old songs, the love songs, folk music, whatever the first world decided to dump down our hungry throats. Even locals, I loved them too.

But what touched my senses, really touched my senses, was classical music.

Sometimes, it creates such reverberating effect on me that made my mind produce a flurry of creative ideas. Sometimes, it soothes my entire body that it almost touches my soul. Sometimes, it made me shiver like a child and cry for no particular reason. Sometimes, it gives me heavenly joys that are just unexplainable.

I didn’t tell it to my friends, or to my family. Gee, we were not even in the middle when it comes to social stratum. Have they known, they would try to think of me as a pathetic hypocrite trying to climb the social ladder.

I entered Catholic schools not because my parents were Catholics. It was simply that most schools in my country that provide good education were run by Catholic priests. And so since I was a kid, I was educated, prodded, molded and fought with Dominican and Franciscans friars.

But one good thing that came out of it, one of the many, was that I finally fully discovered classical music. And so whatever contempt I had for the church and organized religion, classical music simply eases it away.

Can't Get Approved Because of Bad Credit?

As an immigrant from another country, there are lots of issues that confronted me the first time I set foot here in America.

One thing that I had a major problem with since I moved here in Los Angeles is recognizing the concept of credit. Back home the notion of one person having a credit is that he couldn’t afford stuff. If you have no credit, you are financially stable. Here in the states, it is the opposite. If you have no credit, you are stuck in a financial hellhole, having no access to almost everything.

Not realizing the real concept of a credit line, I kept on spending. Beyond what I can actually afford. Buy this, buy that. Swipe this card, sign that slip. I had no money, But I do have cards to cover for it. No worries, I’ll pay the bill over time. I kept on doing that until after a while, the bills have caught up with me. And I couldn’t keep up with m bills.

And like millions of Americans these days, I now have a very bad credit. Now I couldn’t get a good deal on almost everything. If I need to buy something, the interest would by more than double than someone who has good credit. It doesn’t look much of a difference, say two to four percent difference on interest rates. But if you add it up, that’s a whole lot of money.

But hey, there’s a lot of money going around. And that means a lot of capitals everywhere. And that is a fortunate thing for people like me who have bad credits. We could just look for those companies that offer business and services for people like us, giving us the chance to rebuild our credits back into shape, and thus rebuilding our lives, and our future.

If you have bad credit loans and basically poor credit and you want to regain that good credit, it’s time to do it with www.badcreditoffers.com. They offer home loans, car loans, credit cards, and even personal loans for people with bad credits.

Imagine getting bad credit credit cards? Now you can actually get approved for a credit card even if you have bad credit. So get that poor credit back into shape, apply now.

Buy Your Own Domain

Thinking about buying your register a .com.au domain name?Well now don’t just think, just buy.

I have been blogging since late September last year. Just like everybody else, since I was a newbie, I created my blog using free services that one can easily find on the internet. I didn’t know anything about domain, hosting and whatever. I just write and build my blogsite.

I watch as my visitors and my technorati links grow in a steady pace. I learned from someone that increasing this stuff would eventually make me some extra cash when I decided to monetize mo blogs.

But little did I know that I also needed to have my own domain to make this monetizing thing as easy as it should be. Yes, making money on your blogs without your own domain name is possible too. But there are more opportunities for you if you have your own domain name in place. So you should register a domain name as early as possible.

Your site can be more personal if you have your own domain. Plus, if you want to monetize your blog, most money-making sites can be more favorable to you if you have it as well.

Now the big downside of not having it early on is that, once you decided to make money on your blogs that doesn’t have a domain name, the links that you have earned beforehand would vanish. You start again at zero. Whatever page rank you have is gone too.

So if you want to make money on your blogs, or are still thinking about it, the best time to own a domain is now. I found this site that offers domain names that are easy on the budget.

Must Be The Weather

For the past couple of weeks, I had been under the radar. In fact I was also under the weather.

On and off, off and on. Like somebody had a remote control and switching it back and forth. My mind couldn’t quite figure out what my body was up to. Am I gonna get sick? Am I gonna get well? One day I felt so good, the next awfully bad. One day I felt so splendidly happy, the next grumpy and sad.

It was as if somebody was hitting me with a shot of caffeine in my bloodstream and then drugging me afterwards. Up and down. My body can’t just make up its mind.

Assuming it has one of its own.

I always try to do a mind over matter thing. Trying to project an aura of relief over my entire body, thinking of healing it without even knowing what was wrong. Thinking about positive thoughts, the calming breeze of the sea, the silent hum that you could hear atop a cliff, that sort of thing. But my logical mind couldn't quite keep up.

The rational side of my brain kept on asking itself.. "what is wrong with you?" Certainly it couldn’t fix something without knowing the problem first. Or at least try to check for symptoms of a disease.

My personal anti-virus scan couldn't quite detect an infected file except for those minor viruses that are inter-locked in my very own system. My brain can still keep on filtering spam messages that kept on popping on the very edge of its gray matters. So I am sure it is working out fine.

But the thing is, I don’t even know for sure. It could be a number of things. Flu, fatigue, depression, arthritis, anxiety, migraine, cold, China hosting the Olympics, I dunno.

It probably was just the weather. It must be.
