Same Old me Allover Again

So new year’s kicks in and its everything the same, mistakes, thoughts, decisions, attitudes. I mean it’s the same old me all over again. You see, when Christmas time comes there is absolutely no spirit. We talk about love, passion, happiness, joy, but really, deep down in our hearts we just know this word are like the wind, comes and go. When are we really going to change? I mean reveillon we go to parties, amazing places and meet amazing people. But when we are back to our square it’s the same feeling. We feel empty feel like there is something missing. Maybe we are too selfish to realise that but this empty spot only God can fulfil. We may not give much credit to this. But it’s funny we believe in so many things. We trust so many things and people to change our lives. But when it comes to God, just no! Isn’t that right? There is only going to be a change in your life when you seek it in God. Money is great but it doesn’t buy happiness, it’s a big part of it but it doesn’t. Just give a chance to God. He is just waiting for to open your hearth. We give chances for so many banal things and we know that. You are just one step away to true happiness. You have read this before, haven’t you? “One step to happiness”

 God – True happiness. Just one chance trust me. Its worth it. 

8 Worst Dog Breeds for First Time Owners

By Jessica Remitz Making messes, running wild and being a little too curious around the house are all behaviors we expect of our beloved pups at one point in time. But which breeds take a bit more effort to manage than the rest? Though the natural instincts of some breeds help them to excel in the field or with properly trained handlers, they may not make the best choice for inexperienced pet parents. While we encourage all prospective pup moms and dads to research which type of pet is best for your family, we've asked the American Kennel Club to share the breeds that could present the biggest challenges for first time owners.

#1 - Border Collie

Considered the "workaholic" of the dog world, according to AKC spokesperson Lisa Peterson, the Border Collie is highly driven and extremely energetic. A breed that thrives when they have a job to do and space to run, Border Collies requires much more exercise than a walk around the block or a quick romp in the yard. If first time pet owners don't know how to keep their Border Collie sufficiently stimulated, occupied and exercised, the breed may develop behavioral issues.

#2 - Cane Corso

Trained as a property watchdog and wild boar hunter in Italy, Cane Corsos are large, strong dogs with a dominant nature and strong will, according to Peterson. If they aren't able to establish themselves as leaders of the household, potential pet owners run the risk of their 120-pound Cane Corso ruling the roost. Because of its instincts as a guardian, Cane Corsos form strong bonds with their owners and can be very protective over them. Loving with its owners and affectionate towards children, the Corso is alert and can be territorial.

#3 - Skye Terrier

A courageous, sensitive breed that likes to do its own thing, the Skye Terrier can be stubborn and very wary of people and dogs it does not know. Comfortable living indoors as a companion dog, the breed does require regular outdoor activity. With a double coat and hair that can grow over the breeds face and eyes, Skye Terriers require regular bathing and brushing to prevent mats, making its grooming needs a bit too much for first time owners.

#4 - Bloodhound 

Though the Bloodhound is an extremely affectionate breed, their take-charge nature makes it essential for pet parents to be the undisputed boss in their home, Peterson said. With one of the strongest noses in the world, the Bloodhound will always want to follow its nose and may pull an unaware owner regularly on the leash to follow a new scent. Like most hounds, Bloodhounds may bay often to alert their owners of nearby danger (real or perceived) and is also prone to chasing small animals.

#5 - Treeing Walker Coonhound

Known for its extreme endurance, competitive spirit and desire to perform, the Treeing Walker Coonhound is a favorite of hunters but may not be ideal for first-time pet parents. Originally bred to track and tree wild raccoons, the Treeing Walker Coonhound has a competitive spirit and requires regular activity to stay in shape and is best suited for families that lead an active lifestyle. Though the breed is intelligent, condiment and social, new owners may not be prepared for its desire to chase small game while outside or the barking that will come along with it if they tree their quarry, Peterson said.

# 6 - Australian Cattle Dog

A loyal breed that loves to play and work, the Australian Cattle Dog fares best in the country with a job to do, like herding, obedience or agility. The breed can be as stubborn as the cows they were bred to work, Peterson said, and can become restless without a job to do. Intelligent and full of energy, Australian Cattle Dogs require plenty of daily exercise and can be wary of strangers. Though the breed bonds closely to its family, Peterson said Australian Cattle Dog owners must establish themselves as the pack leader to promote a harmonious household.

#7 - Tibetan Mastiff Historically isolated in the Himalayan mountains to guard tents and families when flocks were moved to higher pasture, Tibetan Mastiffs was bred to be kept confined during the day and let loose at night to continue their duties as a watchdog. As a result of its ancestry, the breed is extremely independent and intelligent and may have its own agenda in the home. Due to its protective nature, the Tibetan Mastiff may act aggressive towards strangers, making it difficult to bring new people home. Though it is loyal and loving to its family, the breed will require proper obedience training and socialization from an early age on in order to live well with families and be around other animals. These training requirements may prove too difficult for first-time owners.

#8 - Akita

A powerful working breed that originated in Japan, the Akita is large, alert and has strong guarding instincts. Known to be relatively quiet-the breed is called the "silent hunter" in Japan, according to Peterson-Akitas will sound the alarm if an intruder breaks in. Although they make wonderful guard dogs, the Akita likes to be the leader of the pack and requires a strong hand in training. The breed's temperament can range from calm to bouncy and aggressive, so it should always be supervised around small children and other animals, Peterson said.

It's important to keep in mind that, although these particular breeds may require more training than others, all breeds require plenty of positive training and socialization from an early age in order to be happy, well adjusted pets in the home. First-time pet parents should do plenty of research before committing to a breed to ensure they understand the temperament, medical conditions and grooming needs of the breed they're interested in before they take it home.

10 Tips for Doing Disney on a Budget

A trip to Disneyland (California) or Walt Disney World (Florida), or sailing on a Disney Cruise, is a dream come true for kids. Planning the ultimate family vacation is another story. There are thousands of "tips and tricks" and "secrets" to visiting a Disney property. The challenge is sifting through them and figuring out what actually saves you money and works for your situation. We've assembled 10 best tips that can help you plan your next magical vacation.

1. Go off-season. Here at Cheapism.com, we preach saving money by buying or going in the off-season, and Disney attractions are no different. Both Disney parks have "off" or "value" seasons that generally run January through February, October through November, and the early days of December. Walt Disney World is cheaper all around when you go during the off-season. Spring break, Christmas, and New Year's are peak times at both parks, as are the summer months. Everything is marked up, including accommodations and food within and surrounding the parks.

2. Start planning up to six months in advance. Abbey DeHart, a mother of two from in central Ohio, estimates her family spent approximately $1,500 for three nights and four days, including one day at the Magic Kingdom, a meal plan for three, and lodging at a value resort. It was worth every penny, she says. "It's not cheap any way you look at it, but it was the best vacation ever."

Planning in advance, as DeHart did, can save you a few pennies. There's time to shop around and find deals on admission into the parks, hotel accommodations, and even dining opportunities. One blogger tells of searching for free dining offers and booking them as soon as she finds them. A "character" meal for her family of four costs more than $100, so free dining deals are invaluable.

3. Don't pay full price for tickets. Prepare for sticker shock if you pay full price. Daily admission into the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World is $99 for ages 10 and up and $93 for ages 3 to 9. Disneyland is slightly cheaper at $92 for the older set and $86 for those under 9. Any way you cut it, this is a huge outlay for a family of four.

Relax -- discounted admission is available. Buying tickets for multiple days upfront is cheaper than one day at a time. The AAA sometimes offers members discounted tickets to Disney, and military and their families also qualify for cut-rate tickets. "There is no frugal side when it comes to Disney," cautions Jonathon Rinehart, a father of two from Columbus, Ohio. "That being said, my Dad is retired USMC and they have pretty nice discounts for military (and extended) families if you qualify." Now through September, for example, service members can buy a special Military Salute Ticket (four-day ticket to Walt Disney World with a Park Hooper (see below) ticket or Water Park Fun and More ticket) for $168 plus tax that can be used by the military member, family, and friends. Large companies, government organizations and big groups like unions also have occasional access to discount tickets. Do some research to see if you qualify for cheap entry into a Disney park.

4. Don't buy a Park Hooper pass unless….you definitely know you will visit more than one park in a day, advises Courtney Neri, an Ohio mother who has visited Walt Disney World upwards of 15 times with her two youngsters, taken two Disney Cruises, and visited Disneyland once. It's a needless expense if you don't make it, and with so much to see at each park, it's worth spending an entire day.

5. Bring your own food. In-park meals and snacks are pricey at Disney, and it's way cheaper to bring your own food. According to Mouse Savers, Walt Disney World has foresworn its "no outside food" policy to let visitors brown-bag it, with the exception of a few items (e.g., glass bottles, alcohol, food that needs heating). Disneyland still operates under a "no outside food" policy, but the rule is largely ignored unless you're really obvious about it. Hard-sided coolers are always forbidden, but carrying in a small lunch or dinner is fairly easy and lighter on your wallet.

If you plan to buy food in the parks, hit up the cheaper options. Walt Disney World operates several stands that sell fruit and giant pickles at lower prices than other snack choices elsewhere in the park. Cups of water are always free while milk, apple juice, and orange juice are all $1 cheaper than a soft drink, coffee, or bottled water. Full meals are less costly at counter-service or cafeteria-style sites. And as noted above, free dining deals or discounted character meals occasionally surface online. DeHart and Neri both recommend a dining plan (part of a lodging and admissions package) if you find a discount deal and the agenda includes eating at any of the "fun" restaurants.

6. Consider the "value" accommodations. In-park accommodations are available at several levels. The "value" level is the most budget friendly, and booking a value room during the off-season is the best bet for doing Disney for less. Discounts are offered throughout the year and change often. We found the best advice about resort discounts at Mouse Savers, which recommends searching for deals early and often during the planning process and being flexible about where and when. "We stayed at the budget resort and it was perfect for us," DeHart says. "The room wasn't spectacular, but it was a reasonable price and the pool area was amazing." Neri agrees, adding that her family spends an entire day at a park, so pricier hotels would be a waste of money.

7. Forget the souvenirs. Do not, we repeat, do not buy the overpriced souvenirs sold in Disney theme parks. Bring your own instead. Head out to a local store or shop online before the trip and load up with Disney memorabilia at prices far below park prices. Stash them in your bag and hand out as you go along. The Southern Plate blog suggests telling the kids that Mickey left them a surprise at the hotel (place something brought from home on their pillow before heading out for the day), which helps motivate them to leave quietly and soothes the "want" of a high-priced keepsake.

8. Make the most of your visit. A trip this costly means you should milk it for all it's worth. Neri offers a few tips:

• Take advantage of the extended park hours and stay for the parade and fireworks. Ask a cast member for the best view spots (these folks are a wealth of knowledge).
• If you need a break, ride the train or people mover in the Magic Kingdom.
• Plan the visit by making a map of everything you want to see and do inside the Disney theme parks. Do this on Disney.com and the company will mail it to you before your trip.

9. Bring your own beverages on the Disney Cruise. And that includes alcohol. Mouse Savers says sealed alcoholic beverages packed in your carry-on luggage may be brought on board. (Neri thinks the limit is two bottles per person, but check with the cruise operator.) Be sure to bring bottled water, which is expensive on the ship and handy for day excursions. Soft-sided coolers may be carried onto the ship upon boarding.

10. Get the most out of the Disney Cruise. Insider tip alert: Neri notes that free activities, including movies and shows, are available throughout the ship. This gives the little ones a varied experience, keeps them well-occupied, and wears them out. When planning your day, Neri also recommends using the Navigator (a daily on-board newsletter) or free Navigator app, which detail activities, the daily schedule, hours of operation, and characters available for autographs and pictures. Take the Navigator everywhere you go for easy reference.

Whos leading? Apple or Samsung?

So guys, this question has be bothering me alot lately. In the start of the year my parents told me I could choose between an Iphone or a Samsung. I have been searching about new technologies, which one is better but I am really in doubt. You see an Iphone is very complicated to use it. "Of course if you get the hang of it, then it's even better". Even though it's complicated it offers you more security. While Samsung its easier to use but you can't be secure a hundred percent. Of course I am talking about new generatios of technologies, the likes of S4 and Iphone 5S. So I am blogging to you guys that are more into this than me. Express your knowledge with a coment helping me out. Thankyou :)
