Thank God for Payless!

Two stores are now in the near vicinity of where we live so shopping for shoes became easier. I scored shoes for a wedding I will be attending in a few days and a pair of leopard-print ballet flats. I would have wanted to buy some more womens sandals but I decided to control myself and just be satisfied with two for now

We are celebrating seven years of married life next year! One of the things we really want to do is go on a trip, just the two of us. While an all inclusive caribbean honeymoon might be a far-fetched dream for now, who knows there might just be a miracle next year and we can afford a vacation? I have already asked one thing from the husband and he is now hard at work at it. What is it? I won’t tell

I have been having trouble pulling in a good eight-hour sleep these days. Actually, it has been going on for a few months. I’d wake up every now and then and have a hard time going back to sleep. This lack of sleep makes me very lethargic all throughout a day and a bit grumpy.

My husband says it must be our mattress. It’s due for a change since we have had it for a couple of years already. I also need a better pillow because I tend to keep a lot of pillows to my side when I sleep. Maybe a DreamEssentials.com body pillow would be a better option for me, don’t you think?

In any case, I need to sleep better!

I have been thinking the past few days what I want to get this Christmas and I was pretty surprised at myself that I have been drawing a blank! Wow! That has never happened before!

It has been a pretty good year. I have had my wish granted and though times were sometimes hard, it was made more bearable that our family has been complete this year – I honestly would not have it any other way.

Now, for material things, I have a few “wants” but its has not really became a pressing “want” that I really, really want it – I just want a happy and peaceful Christmas with my family!

A lot of people have experienced being sick or ill and not having enough money for the hospital and medical bills. The story where the patient goes home and unfortunately, does not get better because he or she does not have the money to buy the medicines prescribed by the doctors is not an unfamiliar one.

Nowadays, this kind of story should slowly be a thing of the past. A lot of advocacy companies offer Prescription Assistance Programs to help provide free or discount prescription drugs to people with low incomes. The ones who can avail of this prescription assistance are those that are uninsured or have inadequate insurance. With this program, someone who is sick or afflicted with a disease will save a lot from the discounts that he or she could get. There is no limit to the number of medications you can avail so it is particularly useful for those who need several maintenance drugs. The program applies to brand name medicines and not to generic ones. The pharmaceutical companies themselves are the ones who are helping make this possible in an effort to make their valuable medicines more available to everyone. Hopefully, those that need proper medical care by having access to the appropriate medications for their diseases will not have to miss any of their medicines anymore.

I am still drawing a blank when it comes to what presents to give to my family this year. I have a few ideas like citizen watches, an iPad and clothes. But my budget can’t accommodate my ideas so I have to restructure things a bit .

I actually have an idea on my head which I hope I have the guts to make and pull off. Hopefully, the ones who will receive it won’t find it too cheesy.

We were supposed to do some Black Friday shopping but plans fell through. We originally planned to get some XBOX Kinect games and a new xbox hard drive since they were on sale at ridiculously low prices. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be!

At least we were able to save what we have on our budget and hopefully spend on new furniture. We really need a new couch and dining set. Hopefully before Christmas!

There is a lot of hidden treasure to be discovered in online market research. Not only do they provide valuable information in prediction markets, they also serve as a great gauge on how well a politician, business, medicine or gadget is performing. This is what a lot of businesses conduct customer satisfaction survey programs every quarter or as the need arises.

There are tons of online software programs for business and marketing and the customer satisfaction survey template is a staple feature. It usually even comes with tools that will help you summarize and interpret the data you gathered. Customer satisfaction survey is important to almost all businesses, simply because satisfied customers, as a general rule, keep on coming back for more of your products and/or services – eventually leading to increase in profits.
Here are some reasons why doing a customer satisfaction survey is important:
1. It gives you an idea about how your company is doing, enables you to compare your performance to your customers’ standards and expectations, and what are the means by which you can surpass that performance.
2. It can also be used as tool to motivate your employees, highlighting the accomplishments and positive feedback from the customers.

3. You can set a concrete standard of performance for your employees. After knowing what your customers expect, need and want, you can then translate those expectations, needs and wants into your employees’ goals.
