espeleta.net (http://www.espleta.net) is an internet consulting/web design company based in Los Angeles, California. Our clients include UCLA School of Public Health, the International Children's Charity Foundation, and the United States Army Volunteer Reserve.

espeleta.net is looking for web designers/programmers to do overflow work. The candidate must be proficient with HTML, SHTML, SSI, and basic knowledge of search engine optimization techniques. Working knowledge of CGI/PERL, PHP, and ASP desirable. If you are interested, please PM me for more info along with samples and a brief description of projects you have handled (if any) and the URLs, and the amount you require for designing a 7-10 page site.

For the first three months, the individual chosen will work on a project-by-project basis. After three months, we may opt to convert to a full time employment.

We prefer individuals based in Manila. Since companies have overhead costs that can in turn make each project cost more, we prefer not to engage with established web design companies. But, if you are a member of a company and feel your price is competitive, please submit proposal.

atsaka, depende rin pala sa location mo. example: di ka pwede tinda ng bigas kung nakatira ka sa community na bukiran ng palay.

criteria for starting a business:

1. define the need by assessing lacks of target community

2. determine personal skills and whether that is enough to fill the need (#1). If not, must hire personnel;

2. define the services that would service that need;

3. define cost to provide service(s) (personnel? equipments? etc.);

4. define cost to market service(s) (flyers, banners, newspapers/magazine ads, etc.);

5. based on 3 and 4, formulate how much you will charge to cover the overhead and make a profit.

based on 3 and 4, you will find that you can either be competitive or your potential customers would be better off going to bigger organizations.

again, all depends upon your location, your skills, and the help (employees -- meaning more overhead) you will require.

good luck! tanong lang kayo if you need help.

starting a business... depende naman 'yan sa skills mo e. okay ka ba'ng sales? o nasa IT ka? kung magaling ka'ng magluto, food industry. gym is good kung ang background mo nasa gym. pero, am not so hot on the promise of making $30 per day (promise lang 'yon, hindi guaranteed) at the risk of losing $2k. the upside is you start making money after 67 days. the downside is you lose your money and would have to come up with more. been there, done that during the high of the internet market -- day trading. for me, IT consulting, doon ang skills ko. (http://www.espeleta.net.) ang tanong: ano ang hilig mo?

hmmm... alam n'yo ba story ng sign ng aquarius?

eto: according to mythology, there was a handsome Phrygian youth, Ganymede, who was the son of Tros, the king of Troy. One day Jupiter spotted Ganymede tending to his father's flocks. Jupiter was so enamored by Ganymede's beauty that he swooped down and abducted Ganymede. (Mind you, the ancient Greeks and Romans practiced homosexuality, so did their Gods.) After Jupited did what he had to do with Ganymede, he had Ganymede work as the server of drinks in Mt. Olympus -- a job which he holds to this very day.

So there. how embarrassing when, while in college, friends asked what each others' sign was. I proudly announced "aquarius" to wit someone quickly responded "oh, your the gay sign."

embarrassing, mali pala yung topic ng last post ko, para pala sa asawa mo 'yon.

well, at least okay problem mo...

sabi nila, there's nothing a good talk cannot solve...

somehow, you will have to find a way to sit her down and tell her exactly how you feel. a great many people fail to understand that nothing lasts forever and that, hard as we all try to be the perfect partner, we often come to realize that just as easy as it is to fall in love, it is that much easier to fall out of love. but, falling out of love does not mean that you no longer love her. it's just that your love for her, i would assume since you are still there, has now gone to a different level.

make her understand, truly understand, that you both have a right to be happy... that you are no longer happy, and that by you not being happy, it would be hard for you to make her happy as well.

let her know also that living apart does not mean becoming total strangers. you're still there to comfort her in times of need and to celebrate with her in times of joy.

whatever you do, if you truly are no longer happy/satisfied with your relationship and want to move on, do not make the mistake of staying for the sake of "idealism" (that marriages are supposed to last a lifetime), for fear of hurting the other person and/or the kids. many people try too hard to have a long lasting relationship to do just that. but, the individual who has changed end up frustrated, unable to find happiness in the first place where it should be found, at the home. so, the individual goes on day by day faking it, only to find him/herself agitated and irritated by the littlest things. this is then taken out on the kids and/or the partner. as you can imagine, this is not healthy for the individual nor for the other parties involved. abuse soon become the norm. no one profits from an unhappy relationship.

depende:

i remember sneaking out of the house when i was in high school, driving around town with friends, being amazed by all the lights, then the first beer... first date... the world opened up a bit then.

then college, no need to sneak out na, study sunday through thursday, then party from friday night to sunday morning -- half of which i do not remember, too drunk, i guess.

looking back, it did not matter that i did not have pocket money in either period, somehow, i managed without and still had a blast. talking to high school and college friends sometimes, we wonder how we partied when most of us were unemployed ... (hmm... come to think of it, the college loans. s**t, am still paying for it.)
