A quiet place to work.

I come from a large family. I already mentioned this in some past entries of mine in this blog. I am proud and happy that I am surrounded by family but let me tell you that there is a downside to all of this. There is no quiet place for me to go when everyone is at home! That’s the truth! You can go inside the bedroom but another one will follow you there. Or the noise they’re making in the living room will float through the thin walls.

Oh, let me tell you now that I am not really complaining. I am just stating facts here. I actually like being with my noisy family. But then when you have some work that needs to be done and you are seeking some peace and quiet, well, you can’t expect to get it inside our home. Unless everyone went out and you are left alone.

So, you know, it would be really great to have a quiet place to go to for work. Just a shed or somewhere outside the house I can lock myself in. The workplace in the photo looks really good, don’t you think?

What Are the Different Types of Skiing?

Skiing provides many benefits and is one of the few cold-weather sports that individuals of all ages and skill levels can enjoy. Since its origins the sport has evolved to include various formats, including those that favor casual skiing and others reserved for adventure seekers.

Before you strap on skis for the first time, it’s best to familiarize yourself with the most popular skiing formats, so that you can find one in line with your experience and interests.

Downhill Skiing

When most people think of skiing, they envision racing down steep mountains at breakneck speeds. Downhill, or Alpine, skiing is generally the preferred format of more hardcore skiers, as it is both more difficult and expensive than other variations.

Cross-Country Skiing

The oldest form of skiing, cross-country skiing has its roots in more practical applications. Namely, mail carriers would ski across the snow when the weather wouldn’t permit safe transport via other means. Some believe that cross-country skiing dates back even further, all the way to approximately 6,000 B.C.

There are two types of cross-country skiing. The more traditional (classic) style is characterized by its graceful, gliding movements. Conversely, skiers can also utilize a style that more closely resembles skating than skiing.

The primary difference between cross-country and Alpine skiing is that cross-country generally takes place on flat terrain. For this reason, the skier’s heel is not bound to the ski.

Freestyle Skiing

For all you adrenaline junkies out there, freestyle skiing is the way to go. A catch-all term, freestyle skiers may come from one of several disciplinary schools including snowboarding, half-pipe skiing and death defying aerials.

One freestyle form, mogul skiing, tasks athletes with navigating their way around equidistant snow mounds. Although similar in many respects to downhill skiing, mogul skiers require extra focus, as one small mistake could lead to a potentially painful spill.

If you’ve ever watched the Winter Olympics, you’ve probably seen the world’s top aerial skiers take flight. Using only their body for balance, aerial skiers leap off a platform, performing stunts while in the air. Suffice to say, aerial skiing is not for amateurs.

Ski Racing

Speaking of the Olympics, another popular competitive skiing format is simply labeled ski racing. Typically decided over a course laden with obstacles, ski racing requires exemplary precision and grace.

On the very fastest courses, it is not uncommon for skiers to eclipse the 100 mile-per-hour barrier. As such, skiers like Bob Corsini, typically learn other disciplines before graduating to ski racing.

There are two major types of ski racing: Slalom, which features more gates (or flags), and Giant Slalom, which favors fewer gates and increased top speeds.

Backcountry Skiing

The final form of skiing is less of a format and more of an adventure. Backcountry skiers define their own rules, skiing where they want, when they want and how they want. Entire blogs and video series have been dedicated to the best backcountry skiing routes in the world.

An advice to those who want to go freelance.

I was asked yesterday for an advice on the pros and cons of working at home. You see, I’ve been doing freelance work for the past eight years now so I have some knowledge to impart when it comes to the topic at hand.

Well, the first thing I told the person who asked for my advice is that resigning from her nine to five job and going freelance is a big risk. It’s the truth! Can you imagine your regular 15th-30th/end-of-month paycheck coming to a standstill? When you go freelance, your income now depends on how consistent you are with your work. It now depends on your diligence and perseverance (or what we call in Tagalog as sipag at tiyaga). If you work harder every single day, then expect a big income at the end of the month. If you slack off from what you need to do and just work whenever you feel like it, then expect an empty pocket. But the pay-off is really great if you are a hard worker.

Now, that’s just one risk, the recession of a steady, fixed monthly income. Another, and of greater importance, is the loss of mandatory benefits that you get when you are employed by a company as a regular employee. When you work at home doing freelance work, medical and dental health benefits plus those government-mandated ones (SSS, Philhealth and HDMF) are no longer the responsibility of the employer. It is now under your care and it is up to you to make sure you make a voluntary contribution every month to reap the benefits by the time you retire. Insurance policies placed by a company for you will be lost as well, once you choose freelance work.

But, again, the much larger pay-off if you know how to manage your time well and you grab at opportunities thrown your way will be more than enough to cover the cost of all those benefits that you lost.

An upside of freelance work is you control the volume of your work and the time you do it. In other words, your schedule is up to you. Your workload, too.

It’s all about diligence and perseverance. It’s all about hard work when you talk about freelance work and working at home. So my advice to the person asking me about it? Make sure she’s ready to be a much more responsible worker than she is in her nine to five job.

For the first time.

1st time

Been a while, that’s the truth. I have so many things I want to do for the first time, like travel alone outside the country, but financial constraint prevents me from doing so. I know some people will say that it is an easy problem with an equally easy solution: save up! Of course, I can. But I have priorities that I need to take care of before indulging myself.

One of these days, though, I will do something for the first time, something from my bucket list.

Why Jersey Barriers are Commonly Used for Traffic Control.

For the past several decades, concrete barriers have been common sights on America’s streets and highways. These barriers which are extremely strong are commonly referred to as jersey barriers. While there are many different styles, lengths and widths in general use across the country, all these barriers have one common goal and that is traffic safety.

Jersey barriers are extremely durable and long-lasting, making them ideal to use in traffic. These barriers can very effectively slow down and re-direct traffic as well as stop a vehicle that’s out of control. Jersey barriers feature an upward slope that provides a pivot point for a vehicle that is out of control which can prevent a fatal accident from happening.

Many companies use these concrete barriers in parking lots as dividers. Apartment complexes routinely place these barriers in strategic locations to keep motor vehicles off pedestrian walk-ways. Construction sites often make use of jersey barriers to secure the perimeters for the safety of workers and the public who passes through. Organizations and local governmental agencies often place jersey barriers on-site where large events will be held. These concrete barriers help keep order, direct traffic flow and help keep people on foot safe when entering and exiting events of all types ranging from concerts to park dedications.

One of the main reasons jersey barriers are so popular is that they are maintenance-free. Once these barriers are positioned into place, they can be forgotten about completely as they can stand up to the roughest treatment and the most inclement weather. While very simple in design, there’s no doubt that jersey barriers will continue to be very common sights across the United States as they are by far the most effective way to control traffic and to keep order.

Renewal of domains.

The thing with maintaining a large number of sites is that you have to be ready for the time when you will be renewing the domain names attached to each.

I know some bloggers who made sure to register their domain names for three to five years in one go. I couldn’t do that lest I will be out of money in my online account. So what I do is I register for a year and wait until its due date to renew each. Of course, there are domain names which will expire on the same day so the renewal cost can be too much for me.

Well, what I am trying to say here is that be sure that you have the capacity to maintain a site including renewal of its domain name before you start one. You can choose to go the free way with Blogger DOT com and WordPress DOT com but if you want a personalized site, your own URL, that is, then be prepared to shell out a small amount every year for the domain name renewal.

I am telling you, if you have more than three domains to renew in one go, it will make a big dent on your pocket unless you have a discount coupon code to use.
