How Can We Save Petrol? Tips on Saving Fuel...
2008-03-26 12:45:00 Oil price is soaring and it certainly looks like it will not be staying at a constant price for long. I remembered last year around June, the price per litre of Shell 98 was around $1.70 SGD and just recently when I was refilling fuel. It costs about $2.12 SGD per litre; an increase of almost $0.40 SGD per litre. Not to mention that the price is still rising. There are a few alternatives that we can do. Here are seven tips which can help you...1. To stop driving - for those who have been driving, you will be saying it's crazy! Cars are just like your legs; they carries you around places.

Mortgaging is Not That Easy You Need to Compare
2008-03-25 13:07:00 Before I broke up with my ex-wife in 2002, we had mortgaged our home. It was a decision we made so that we can raise funds to expand our business and also have some reserve money. We never did ask on current price nor did we compare mortgage prices of banks in our locality. The bank in return just accepted the mortgage and was not very helpful in advising us... the result we end up selling the house before it was too late and the house and lot was foreclosed. So how do someone go with Commercial Mortgages? But that will be different this time. Why? Because of the advent and wide use of the internet comparing mortgages had never been easy. Comparison will assure you of what mortgage to take and which is the best deal among them. The best part is if you are planning to have a Commercial Mortgages, finding the best among them is just a click away.If this service had been present back then I could have tried it and even consider it before taking that option.

A Christian Holy Week Message of Sacrifice and Renewal (with songs for refl
2008-03-20 03:51:00 During this time the Christian world is celebrating the Holy Week which depicts the passion of Jesus Christ more than 2,000 years ago. Christ had helped many people, cured the sick and brought a message of hope and salvation. Despite these positive messages and acts, He was cursed, tortured and crucified to death. What is His fault? Most probably because He is a threat. A threat to established religion and order of that time.More than that historical contest, the Holy Week reminds not only Christians but all of us to look into what He had done in realistic and humane concept. Christ's suffering be it to the believer and the non-believer reminds us of the very nature every human has. His innate nature to goodness and his ability to sacrifice and think of the good of his fellowmen.In a world beset by war, famine, hunger, climate change and many other problems, the need to sacrifice and to do something more than just oneself is an imminent need. Our lives should no longer be c... More About: Religion , Events , Songs , Message

Barrack Obama Denounces Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Statements
2008-03-19 04:57:00 Democratic Presidential front runner, Barrack Obama just released a video denouncing the recent statements of his religious pastor for 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah White which raises a new racial color on the campaign. Viewing the video myself and hearing what the pastor had to say and being objective makes me believe that there is in fact truth to what he is saying... it is the reality not only in America but in other countries as well.Barrack Obama 's Answers on Rev. Wright's StatementsClearly there is some racial divide in the campaign as well with majority of blacks supporting Barrack Obama and majority of Whites supporting Hilary Clinton but that is not the major consideration as polls regarding this have already shown. Some even says that the dumbest thing to do is to base your choice based on your raise.Look at it this way, who is favoring allegations like this? Hilary Clinton? Perhaps in some way because she will get the doubt vote from Barrack Obama's supporters. But diggin...

Pacquiao vs Marquez Rematch Haunted With Controversy
2008-03-17 11:00:00 The recently concluded match between Philippine boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez is beginning to be haunted by controversy. Some says that the win of the Pinoy champ was a decision made by the judges for the reason that Marquez is harder to sell than Manny and another draw for the two will definitely be a no-no scenario.The one point win of Pacman against Marquez seems to be the selling point for accusations like this.
