The World Wide Web Addict

This image was taken during the Oldtimer Treffen in Neumarkt Upper Palatinate last June of this year. Here, you can see all kinds of old cars, bicycles, motorcycles and other forms of vehicles. I forgot to take a picture of the exact model of this motorcycle. Any idea out there?

Not a good weather today! The sun is out again and the sky is quite gray. It is sign that sooner or later, the rain will pour down. I went for a grocery shopping this morning. I went to an electronic shop and saw Toshiba laptops that are on sale. I am trying to find a cheaper laptop or desktop now because I am planning to buy a new one when money is available. I need to start saving for it so that I can buy a new one. After my Europe trip last month, I was totally broke. wink! At least, it was a lot of fun and I have some memorable and amazing experiences that can’t be bought with money. Watch for my Europe tour images in my travel blogs. I will be posting some images soon. Have a great day to all!

I received a job offering from one of the agents in JPgray in Germany last Thursday. The company is an international one who is engaged in logistics. The job location is in Duisburg which is very far from where we live. It is quite a good job being an internal auditor and I am still thinking whether to apply or not. I am also planning to shift in health care career because I always see a lot of vacancies nearby in this relation to this field. Sad to know, I always feel bad when I have to go back to school again for three to four years. Sometimes we also have to think what is really the most important thing, career or family? It is always a matter of choice but I believed I will choose family first than career. How about you?

I received for the first time a spam mail from a scammer using this time T-Online. T-Online for all you know is one of the internet providers in Germany. Well, sad to know I don’t have an account with T-Online because hubby’s name is one being registered there. I already know from the very beginning that this is a spam or scam mail proliferating on the net. Be warned with this kind of mail because sometimes, the scammers/spammers are asking for your Username and Password if ever you have a T-Online Account. Never ever give any personal information to them.

I copied and pasted the scam mail that I received last Sept. 4, 2010 which is stated below;

Here is another scammer or swindler who sent me a message offering US$26 Million Dollars. How I wish this is true so that I can help a lot of poor people especially in my home country. Sad to know, this kind of mail is a scam or fraud and will never come true. Would you think anyone whom you don’t know will offer such kind of amount? I believed not.

This is a warning to all of you not to trust this kind of people. Lastly, I am always reminding you not to give any personal information to them. Here is a sample of a SCAM OR FRAUD MAIL that I received in my inbox today. I just copy and pasted it below.

Hubby bought a new external hard drive last Saturday. After we drove a friend to Nuremberg Airport, we proceeded to an electronic shop in Neumarkt. The 1.5 Terabyte or 1,500 Gigabyte Fujitsu external storage HDD 3.5″ cost 109.99 Euros. Compared to other brands, it is the cheapest that we found. I also want to buy a digital frame in that electronic shop but I totally forgot it. It is nice to see images in a digital frame because the photos are automatically sliding. If I don’t forget it last Saturday, I should already had one today and enjoyed watching my travel images while browsing in front of my PC. It is time for a short break. More updates in my other blogs.

I just want to be clear that I am talking of Tamaraw FX here but FX that also means FOREX or Foreign Exchange. I believed all accountants know this term especially if you are working in a bank and you are assigned in the FX department. It’s been a month now since I did not take a look on currency exchange especially from Euro to Philippine Pesos. Last night, I visited xe.com and found below FX updates;

1 Euro = $1.28085
$1.00 = 0.78074 Euro
1 Euro = PHP 57.8872
$1.00 = PHP 45.1850

I guess these are only the most important one that I need. Thanks to xe.com for the updates.

I thought I would lose weight during our Europe tour because we kept on walking and running everyday. It just made me sad to know that it seems I gained more pounds because we also kept on eating during our trips. Before my friend left Europe last weekend, I told her that I will not cook and eat too much anymore to lose my excess weight. Thanks also to HCG weight loss Austin for sharing a lot of information on how to get rid of extra fat on our body. I am trying not to eat a lot now especially during the night. Hubby told me that I can go to the gym if I want to help me get rid of my excess pounds. I guess it is still not too late for me to have that wish come true. I also believed that I need to change my eating habit and have a little discipline for myself. I can try and will always try.

I read a lot about this so-called asbestos mineral online. I also learned about it backed in my school days especially during high school. It is known commercially for its desirable physical properties. Don’t you know that asbestos can be very dangerous to our health? Once you inhaled asbestos fibers, it can cause you a very serious illness called Mesothelioma. Those people who are always expose to this kind of mineral will have the probability of getting a malignant lung cancer and asbestosis. Pity for those people who are working directly in the commercial processing of asbestos. Consult the experts if ever you encounter health problems or illnesses from this mineral.

I don’t know how many of you out there have received this kind of email below which I copied and posted from my inbox. I am warning you guys, never to entertain this kind of email. This kind of mail is a scam or a fraudulent one. Lastly, never ever give your personal information. It might give you harm in one way or another. Beware!

Below is the body of the scam mail I received today.
