LG DoublePlay™ - Mobile Phone for Avid Facebooksers

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LG DoublePlay™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

People in the world these days are over reliant upon their mobile phones. I should know, because I am one of them. Whether we love to text or we prefer calling others, mobile phones figure a lot in our lives. I am actually looking for a phone that doesn’t only work as a regular phone but also doubles as a remarkable Internet connected phone.

Fortunately, I read about the LG DoublePlay™  the other, which is under T-Mobile. Now what are the specifications of this phone? Well, it’s a touch and type phone, which means you have the option to use the tip of your fingers to control the phone or just use the QWERTY keypad that has the Swype® feature that allows you to type text messages effortlessly.

This phone is perfect for people who don’t send text messages habitually, but highly favor social networking sites. Imagine, you can check important emails and send these to appropriate persons, and check out the latest status updates of your friends. I don’t send text messages all too often. I would rather watch TV. However, I must admit that I do have a Facebook account and I love updating it with shout outs and pictures.

Now, I shall ask my dear readers. Do you enjoy sending and receiving text messages? If you do, how many text messages do you send out on average? Do you connect to the Internet using your mobile phone? I would appreciate so much if you can post your answers at the comment section.

If you need a phones and you have a tight budget, you can always Hook, line and sinker with straight talk's reconditioned phones! I thought there's no recondition phones here but I was surprised when I knew about it. Great news for some that has no big amount of budget in acquiring phones.

And another good thing about straight talk is that, you can also get a cheap plan for your phone.

Dream....Dream....Dream.....

by Jes Lising

When I was a kid, my father used to say I will become a businesswoman, a nurse, a commerce graduate, a good accountant and a teacher. My father believed in a 8 year old kid who has already a small business - a store. I used my 20 pesos to buy some candies and hang it in our window like a real store was. And when I used to remember such things I realized that Words are really powerful! Sadly he passed when I was only 9 years old and he wasn't there when I started to build that dreams he believed I will be.

When I was in Elementary I dreamt of becoming a nurse, then when I became high school I dreamt of becoming an accountant then a teacher and so when I graduated I took BSE or Bachelor in Science of Education. But my destiny doesn't like in that course, I happened to shift course and graduated as BS Psychology. As BS Psychology graduate, my teaching dream pursued. That was my first job ever - Preschool Assistant Teacher and that was an awesome experience! After that I became an Admin Assistant, and then an assistant guidance counselor, a realtor and now a stay at home mom and a part time writer/blogger.

I have two wonderful kids, a girl who is turning 6 soon and a boy who is now 4 year old. They are both clever, good, happy and beautiful kids. As a mom who grow up with a poor family. Lived with my grand parents in province and away from my mother and other siblings. I have experienced every kind of challenges that a 9 year old kid shouldn't be experiencing. But despite of those experiences, I strived hard to finish my studies and I can proudly say I did well! Now that I have kids, I don't want them to experience what I experienced. I want them to be strong like me, YES but not in that way. I want them to pursue their studies while my husband and I can provide for them. I want them to enjoy their childhood coz I didn't experienced that. I want them to eat nutritious foods, experience luxury, sleep in an air conditioned room with a soft bed surrounded by a lots of toys! But I still want to learn how to gain all those stuff in a hard way. They have to work for everything they want. I want them to learn patience. They have to study hard, finish college and then work and then establish their own business. Whatever course they want is up to them. I am wishing for their DREAMS come true!

So here's how to enter, you don't have to purchase anything at all. This contest started last July 29, 2011 and will run until September 29, 2011 11:59:59 PM EDT. Just go to www.upromisetodream.com or www.facebook.com/upromisedreamwall and submit the online entry form you'll find in the dream wall official rules. Easy as a pie right? So what are you waiting for? Let's share our dream and win $10,000!!!!!

Long Distance Relationship

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Net10 for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My husband has been away from us for nine months. And with that our relationship as husband and wife has become stronger than ever. Before  he left, our relationship has been up and down. I have been very jealous wife, selfish and nagger. I have been very depressed for almost a year but I am so lucky that I have a very patient , very understanding and loving husband! Imagine for that long, I have been acting so weird. Always giving him depression and sadness. I can still imagine how I was that time and I feel so guilty. I know my reactions are just based on his actions but still, I am so shallow! What he did is not that bad at all but I am so selfish to understand it and I feel so bad when I come to realize it the months that we were apart.

Long distance is a very hard situation to most of the couples. I have known so many couples that separated, had third party and so many things that made their relationship ended. I am so glad that didn't happened to us and instead it made us stronger and it fixed every problem we had before. Communication is really important, you may not see nor touch each other but those sweet words over the phone can touch each other's souls reminding each other that they still belong to each other and soon they will be together. I wish every couple has this kind of strength. I  am not saying were perfect, I just want to inspire others especially couples that are apart. 

Always keep in touch, internet is very useful now, and there are lots of unlimited call available so there's no way you can keep in touch with your love ones abroad. See this Cute NET10 commercial for more information about getting a very cheap deal reviewed by the Real NET10 customers. They are offering long distance call over 75 countries for only 15 cents per minute. Very affordable plans with different affordable phones available. I love their cute phones, everything I need is there, a calendar, calculator, some games, text and calls! Just right for me and I would also recommend to others.

 

Our Baby is Now A Lady

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

We can't believe our 5 year old daughter is now going to school alone, without us! She is now riding a school bus and she seem very comfortable with it and I like it though I am a little bit worried for it is first time to happen. She's been going to school for 2 years back in our country but she never go to school without either me or my mama even she have her school service already. I  am so proud of my daughter. The daddy was so excited also to know more about her daughter's first ride in a bus and he's proud and happy the our daughter made it. Few hours ago I fetched her from the bus drop off area and she looked good and fine. I guess it was just me who is very anxious :D I was laughing at myself the other week thinking of purchasing a phone for her. Yeah I know, I am over reacting. I just saw a cheap phone that is so good for her, where everything you need is in the package. So affordable and you can call a friend whenever you want since it has a flexible plan to offer. I am also thinking having a phone of her own could be the best communication between us. Those are just plan of a paranoid mom. Everybody used to say mom knows best so I was just trying to give her a a security which I think won't be necessary since she can manage her self already. Our baby is now a lady!

 

Where to Visit Next Summer

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My family enjoyed our long time vacation even thought we didn't go a lot of places nor even in a water park. What we did during this summer was Shop in Texas, Visit  zoos and Museum which is also my kids did enjoy. We are not yet familiar with our new place since we just got here five months ago. We visited Texas for shopping only and then we stayed in a hotel for two nights. It was not a fancy vacation but we all enjoyed it together as a family. It's actually our first time so every minute is special. But like everybody was wishing is that to have a vacation in some where that you and your family can really have fun stuff to do. Have you heard about Hiltons of Branson? My husband's team(officemates) had their summer vacation there last year. They went to one of the water park in there. He said it is a nice place and he wants us to go there sometime.  I tried researching about the different affordable package they are offering with a nice hotel to stay in.  I wish we could do that next year. I will start planning and saving for it. My family needs some leisure like this.

This photo was taken last vacation in Texas, what we did was stay in our hotel and shop at ALLEN OUTLET

Affordable Plans

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Since I am looking for an affordable phone for my kids, I am also looking for affordable plan where you are not worrying about the length of your call. I want a straight call wherever you are in a hook, line and sinker. I want my kids to use their phone easy and accessible always. Have you ever found a phone line that is unlimited services for only 45 dollars and includes call, text, picture message and web? That's is awesome right everything you need for 45 dollars! Now you can even call a friend anytime you want! I want this kind of line for my phone. Look at this video for some testimonials...

I am glad I have watched this video, now I have an idea where to find a great deal after buying a phone that I really need for my kids. Only three more weeks to go and my kids will soon be away from me the whole day. But with their phone and this unlimited phone services, I will probably not gonna worry too much for I can always call them or they can call me anytime. This is the best thing I can do for both of my kids and myself to keep in touch always.

Phone for Family

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My kids are only 5 and 4 year old but already how to use a computer and a cell phone.  I was wondering when is the best time to really hand them a phone? If ever this will be the first time that I will let my kids stay at school alone and far from our home. We have no choice but let my daughter ride the school bus while my youngest will be send my the daddy and pick up at 530 after husband's office, one more thing that I am concerned of.  My baby boy will stay in school for almost whole day while me stays at home. I wish I could be there with them all the time but no more, it's different now. My only solution for this separation anxiety of mine is to get my kids a personal fone and hand it to their teacher while on class so I could call them all the time and vice versa they could call me too whenever they want or needed. I know you were thinking that it's expensive to have a phones only for kids. Good thing a friend recommended me this user friendly cheap phones especially for kids.  Have you heard of Tracfone already? I definite;y wanna have this fone coz aside from being affordable it also has so many features the kids would love and need to do. They can play with their phones if ever they are waiting for me at school. They can also use it as their watch, or calculator. I am really inspired with this phone, you too have to hear the real TracFone customers saying so you would know exactly what I mean.
