Let’s talk about frames and glasses! I wear glasses because I hate the hassle of putting lens in my eyes to make them more miserable than they already are. I used to wear lens a couple of years ago, but for now I’m sticking with the good old glasses.

I often like to change my frames, most of the time because I get bored with the looks and style of it. Usually, whenever I change my frames, it can cost me $150 or more. When I saw the prices at zennioptical.com, I have to admit I was shocked!

Prescription Glasses from $8!!!! That’s unbelievable man! Apparently, they can offer such low prices to their customers because they manufacture the frames themselves and sell them directly to the customers, hence there are no middleman fees, etc.

Check out their website and get shocked :-P

Save On International Calls

I can say, from experience, when I was in Australia international distance calls were costing me a lot at first. At that time, although I did know about calling cards, I didn’t use them, thinking I would be talking only a few minutes so it won’t make much difference. When I did used them, I realized I don’t have to talk to the other side of the world for minutes, but instead talk for hours and it wouldn’t cost me a fortune. Since then, for all international calls, I use calling cards or phone cards.

GetMeCallingCards.com is a leading international phone and calling cards online retailer, providing high quality service at low rates. At this time, their calling cards can be used from about 150 countries. Yes, you can use them to call the U.S. from overseas as well.

A few days ago, I took the job quiz from iVillage.co.uk and so I decided to talk about the results I got. I actually took the test twice, with only a few answers different and the possible career paths I got were pretty much the same. Here is the exact result generated:

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to be creative, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

* Artist
* Historian
* Banker
* Novelist
* University Professor
* Photographer
* Vet
* Paralegal
* Graphic Designer
* Online Content Developer
* Webmaster
* Producer
* Managing Director
* Nutritionist
* Advertising
* Nursing

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs. You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends. You like to listen to others, but don’t like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private.

You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don’t like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.

You like to be deeply involved in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others and protect their feelings.

You trust your gut instincts. You are easily inspired and trust that inspiration. You are very innovative. You analyse things by looking at the big picture. You are concerned about how what you do affects others. You worry about your actions and the future. You tend to use a lot of metaphors and are very descriptive and colourful in your choice of language.

You are very creative, and get bored easily if you don’t get to express yourself. You like to learn new things. You don’t like the same old routine. You like to leave your options open.

Although I am a Software Engineer by profession, I am also an Online Content Developer(Blogger) and a Webmaster, which are what I enjoy doing the most. I like doing things that challenge my creativity and intellect. I also do get bored easily, hence the reason why I just sit infront of the TV in hope of learning something new from news and documentaries.

I work in a team environment at work, but I do believe that I am more productive when I work alone, although I do appreciate a little help when I’m stuck with something, rather than wasting my time looking for a solution on the web. I am a shy person, so obviously I am quiet and private ;)

I am also practical and innovative. Practical, because I usually analyze the pros and cons before taking the smallest decisions, although I do rely on my gut feelings as well(a bit confusing, I know!), and innovative, because I don’t like copying what others have already done, although I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel but instead improving the wheel rather than just using the same wheel(confusing again, I know!).

Overall, I would say the results are pretty accurate, if you haven’t taken the test/quiz yet, then go and answer the 32 questions and see what career will suit your personality.

That’s the million dollar question many ask, although it’s not very likely that you are going to get a million dollar with a job ;-)

A business can make you millions!! Just today I was reading some MBA reviews(because I can’t decide If I should go for it or not yet!) and a new business idea just popped in my head. Too bad, I can’t start it now, reasons being, no time, no investments, don’t know the right resources. But it’s definitely an idea I will keep in mind(or paper) for future.

I come up with all sorts of ideas anyway, if anyone wants to hire me as a business idea generator, shoot me an email to hire me ;-P

Ok, back to the main point of this post, finding the job that suits you. I was googling(on Google???- where else) and I found this nice quiz, that will determine what are the right jobs for you based on your personality. You should try it, if you feel in a mess and can’t decide about your career. Try it anyway, it just takes a few minutes.

With the Internet and other communication technologies, the world has become a global village where it’s easy to live in any part of the world and be in touch with your loved ones, and even be part of their everyday life(to some extent!). Just like me right now, I’m on a small island in Indian Ocean and spreading my messages around the world via this blog and social networks.

At some point of your life, you may have to move or relocate, not just locally but even internationally. Sometimes, it may be part of your job, for example if your company has opened a branch overseas and wants you to go there. For others, it may be love, love for someone living on the other side of the world and you want to be there with him or her. And there are probably many other reasons that I can’t think of right now. Maybe you have a childhood dream of living by a tropical beach when you grow old.

Whether you are moving overseas permanently or for some years only, it can be a real headache if you are not well-planned or you just don’t know where to start.

InternationalMovers.com is a website that will help you relocate overseas. They will help and guide you. On the homepage you will find a form which you can fill to request a quote from them by indicating which country you are in and which country you want to move to. There are also some guides and tips of the things one has to know and check before taking the big step.

Among their many services, there is also national car transport for preparing and planning a vehicle shipment.
