Are You Insured?

You really can't be sure what will happen to us in the future so we do what we can today to prepare for the inevitable. Saving money now is one thing that most of us do but we also think of some other things that might help like family insurance that a lot of insurance companies are offering us nowadays. For people who are employed, you can also also choose employee benefit package if that's what you think is good for you. Actually there are a lot to choose from which varies from Term Life to Cash Back Life Insurance and you can actually check Advantagetermlife.com to look for the type of insurance which suits you and have them quote it for you.

The thing is, it would really be better if we are prepared now that we are still capable of doing things that we are already old and already lose our jobs. It pays to be ready.

Of Festivals And Parties

Festivals are very popular here in my country and in fact everywhere you go here you’ll find great festivities and most of these festivals are world renown like Sto. Niño festival in Cebu City, Ati-atihan in Aklan, and Timpumpo in Kidapawan. If you have extra resources and you really want to be in a great festival outside the Philippines then you must check Edinburgh. Edinburgh is famous for its festivities and the most famous among these celebrations is the Edinburgh Festival which starts at the end of June and ends at the start of September every year. This festival activity includes a programme of high-profile theatre productions and classical music performances, featuring international directors, conductors, theatre companies and orchestras. And perhapsone of the most popular science festivals can be seen in Edinburgh too - Edinburgh International Science Festival. It would really be nice to experience festivals from different cities abroad and compare it to what we are already experience here in my country.



If you want to visit Edinburgh and looking for a place to stay, Edinburgh hotels are aplenty and you could get cheaper rates and hand-pick your choice over the internet. If other than hotels and you are looking for something different, Edinburgh accommodations ranges from apartments to hostels and are available all year round so that wouldn’t be a problem. Transportation is also not a problem because public utility vehicles range from trams, buses, and railways. So having your vacation in the city is a complete bliss.



People my age love to go out and party when ever then can and I think that my generations are very good in looking for a place to party. They have this instinct on where to catch the best parties in town and know exactly who to look for if they want to be in the place to be. There are times when they got board and try to somewhere else to look for “the best party” in their lives. Well, for people who love to party and have extra money to spend then there is one place in the world they have to go and shouldn’t miss – Manchester. The place helps the world in getting to know what nightclub really is and makes DJ culture popular. People in this part of the globe really know how to party.



One thing that s common to all places in the world is music and music seems to be a universal language that bonds us all together. Manchester, England is very well known to have produced popular musicians like Oasis, New Order, The Smiths and more. Manchester is not only known to have produced popular musicians but it is also noted for it theatres (Palace Theatre and Royal Exchange Theatre) and orchestras (Hallé Orchestra and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra). So for you guys who want to listen to variety of music at one place then Manchester is the place to be.



Aside from parties and music, Manchester is also rich in culture, sports and of course education. Landmarks that are famous in the city include the Beetham Tower on Deansgate (the tallest building in Manchester to date), St, Peter’s Square and the Albert Square. For sports people the City of Manchester Stadium, the National Squash Centre and the Manchester Aquatics Centre are place that you must not miss to visit. And if you are interrested to go to school then you may want to pay a visit to the University of Manchester, the Manchester Metropolitan University, or the Royal Northern College of Music. You see there are a lot of great places and these are reasons enough why travelers love to visit manchester.

Verify Your Paypal Through E-ON

I decided to post here information for you people who would want to have their Paypal account verified. We all know that Paypal Philippines allows its members to send and receive funds but for members (like me) who don’t have or don’t want to have a credit card which you’ll be using for verification and for the expansion program there’s another option and it’s through UninonBank’s E-ON Cyber Account. The E-ON card is a debit card which you can use either as an ATM or as a debit card whether you transact through an ATM or through the internet depending on the situation you are in.

You may apply online or go to your nearest UnionBank branch and present 2 valid ID’s, it would be a better idea to apply directly because applying online still requires you to go to the nearest UnionBank the following day. Upon applying you will have to wait a week or so (well in my case the card arrived on the 8th day) before you’ll be able to get your E-ON card and be sure to call the bank before going there just to be sure that your card is ready to be picked up.

When you finally get your card, here are the things to do:
• You have to pay Php 350.00 (on the spot) for the annual fee and try to deposit about Php 150.00 to Php 200.00 that you’ll need later on when you apply for the Paypal expansion program.
• Then logon to http://www.unionbankph.com and click on the E-ON cyber account button. Another window pops out and there you’ll register your E-ON card online for you to be able to transact online. Get your card ready because you are going to enter information when you register like your card number, CVV (the last 3 digits located at the back of your card), PIN, and etc. After filling out all those information you’ll have to wait 2 to 3 days before your E-ON card to be activated.
• After your card is activated log on to your Paypal account and click on the “verify a card” link or “add credit card” link or something like that to encode your card. Then you will wait for another 5 days to contact the UnionBank’s call center (0284186) to get your “4 digit number” that you are going to use to activate and verify your E-ON card.
• If you got the “4 digit number” encode it on your Paypal account by clicking on the “Expanded Use” something link and if the codes are correct then your Paypal account is now verified. Well Paypal charges you $1.95 automatically for the transaction (automatically deducted from your E-ON cyber account that’s why you have to deposit Php 150.00 to Php 200.00 upon getting your card aside from the Php 350.00 annual fee for this purposes) which will be refunded to you upon your first transaction.
• Now if you already have funds on your Paypal account and want to get it just transfer your funds from your Paypal account to your E-ON cyber account online and withdraw the money at your nearest ATM.

The steps are easy, right? Probably the most difficult part is the waiting part but overall it’s really so easy to apply for E-ON card and have your Paypal account verified. I was able to do it without any problem at all so I think you’ll be able to do it yourself too. I do hope that this information is a great help for you guys.

Enjoy shopping and selling online!

AquaDom

I’d like to share to you an e-mail I received from my officemate Charlene. This is about an aquarium, a very special aquarium that can only be seen in Berlin, Germany. Hotels in Berlin are aplenty but it doesn’t stop them in creating another one and place a gigantic aquarium right in the heart of Radisson SAS Hotel. The aquarium is called the AquaDom.

Here are the pictures that accompany the e-mail:

AquaDom is the largest cylindrical aquarium ever built and it is about 25 meters high, has a diameter over 11 meters, built on 9 meters high foundation and filled with about 900,000 liters of seawater and it contains some 2,600 fishes of 56 species. If you are a hotel guest you can see through the aquarium because of its sandblasted glass which gives you a transparent like feeling. There’s more, you can travel through the middle of the aquarium because of its glass-enclosed elevator. Beneath is a restaurant under the aquarium’s glass floor and some rooms look over the atrium to have an ocean feel kind of look at the aquarium. The aquarium has two full-time divers that clean the aquarium interior and feed the fishes. This sight is really breathtaking even in the pictures, how much more if you are really there.

The AquaDom costs about 12.8 million euros and Reynolds Polymer Technology built it. It was open last December 2003.

If given the chance I’d like to visit Berlin, even if you won’t stay at this particular hotel you can still drop by and see the AquaDom or see Germany's famoust events like Berlinale (Berlin's film festival), Berlin Marathon, Carneval in Germany, Munich's Oktoberfest and so much more. You'll definitely enjoy your stay in Germany. Hotels in Germany are abundant and you can even have a much cheaper hotel that fits your budget over the net than getting one direct from your local travel agent. You may also visit Munich if you have extra time and hotels in Munich are also easy to find over the internet. And mind you, you can save more if you book online and there are a lot of different kinds of hotels in Munich. Happy trip everyone.
