paperworksWhew, as you can see I was not able to post new topics here on my blog. I am quite busy for the past few weeks because of the different expense claims that I need to prepare as required by my work and the backlogs caused by the holidays. What I hate about the preparation of the expense report was the organization of the supporting documents such as receipts of every transaction made that causes the expenses. Receipts are intend to fade in due time because of inappropriate storing of the receipts. That’s why I suggested in our organization to get a new system to handle this proper keeping of receipts.

The system is called an online expense management software, it is a software hosted in a 3rd party company that conveniently provide a quick way of preparing expense reports in a company. One of the company that we consider to use the service is the Certify.com due to the reason that I found their reputations on this field very reliable. Aside from that we can quickly start immediately with simple steps and without any other interventions or delays. A real self-service that is very appropriate with our company practices.  Well, we have tried their services for free in 30 days and we are quite satisfied with the result.

You could also try it if you want, just visit their website at http://www.certify.com/ for a detailed description of their features and pricing.

Best Toy You Have Received

January 3, 2009 at 1:35 pm · Filed under Gifts and Tips ·Tagged

Now ever since I posted my previous article about toys that bring smiles, I was so inspired that I start to reminisce my past on playing different kind of toys. I have few toys received in my lifetime but found them really memorable and have a certain sentimental value. Here are some of the toys that I have recieved when I was younger and I found very important in my life:

  1. Ball – the first ever toy that I remembered that I received from my aunt during my birthday.
  2. Game and Watch – this is the oldest version of game boy. It was a gift from my father and brought him home from Kuwait.
  3. Atari – I’m into digital world and the oldest game console I have played was this one and this was send in package by my father again. The reason why I took Computer Science course, because I thought the course is just playing computer games. Of course later I realize I was wrong.
  4. Marbles – This small game which given by a friend. Not recommended for small children.
  5. Jackstone – A gift I bought for my sister. I didn’t received it but gave it instead for her birthday.

What so important about toys during my younger age is it makes me remember how my father really loved me and think of me to become very happy with simple gifts like this.
