PPP: Online Shopping

Since Anne can walk, I just prefer to do shopping online. I do not have to shop and at the same time my eyes and hand cannot leave Anne alone. I just cannot concentrate to choose clothes or anything that I want to buy when I go shopping with my super active girl.

Online shopping coupons is a way for online shopper to save money. Before I found out about conline coupons, when I want to buy something online, the first thing I put in consideration is the shipping fees. Sometimes, the shipping fees can be greater than the fees that I paid for the item I bought. With coupons code, I can save my money from the discount given and even can save my shipping fees because some merchant provide free shipping for certain amount you spent.



I just love to shop for children stuffs. My sister will give birth end of this year, that´s why I started to search for some baby item to buy for her. I found this Baby Universe Coupons quite suit me. BabyUniverse is the leading Internet destination for new and expectant parents. It is dedicated to providing new and expectant parents and their friends and family with a one-stop "shop" for all of the products necessary for pregnancy, babies and toddlers. I belief I can get what I want here easily.

You can find a lot more online coupons here, the site is updated daily with the latest coupons and product deals. Enjoy your shopping!

PPP: BP factory in Whiting, Indiana

BP as the world's current and historical energy trends is always committed to minimizing the environmental impact of their actions. BP oil refinery produces 410,000 barrels per calendar day stand as the top five U.S refineries operable capacity was reported for going to dump significantly more ammonia and industrial sludge into Lake Michigan, running counter to years of efforts to clean up the Great Lakes.


Recently, the Chicago Tribune ran an article about a BP Factory in Whiting, Indiana and misrepresented some important facts. According to Chicago Tribune article, the massive BP oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana, is planning to dump significantly more ammonia and industrial sludge into Lake Michigan. They claim that Indiana regulators exempted BP from state environmental laws to clear the way for a $3.8 billion expansion that will allow the company to refine heavier Canadian crude oil. They justified the move in part by noting the project will create 80 new jobs.

What's BP's explanation to the misrepresented points post up by Chicago Tribune? To understand more about BP's Whiting Refinery facts, you can read the article here. From the document, we know that what is released from BP's refinery is treated water that is more than 99.9% water - not sludge. All sludge is treated separately, according to state and federal requirements, and never discharged into Lake Michigan. Besides that, a new water discharge permit allows the refinery's average ammonia discharge to increase, but at levels that will still be less than half of those that federal environmental guidelines could allow. Most impotantly is all treated water released has no harm to people or the environment. For the benefit of the environment, the Whiting Refinery voluntarily reduced total suspended solids in its water discharge by 40% in just the past four years.


From the economy points of view, to reduce reliance on sources in Middle East, BP at the same time focuses her investment in Canadian crude oil in order to sustain her business for longer time. BP definitely would not ruin her businesses. Therefore, they have aggressively markets itself as an environmentally friendly corporation by extracting petroleum from the thick goop is a dirtier process than conventional methods. It also requires more energy that could significantly increase greenhouse gases linked to global warming. I will think as such move has given quite good credits to BP.


To me, both parties should have corporation in handling as such environmental issues in order to ensure safety of any natures (aquatic life as well as human beings) are given first priority. Without granting any approval, BP would not act beyond the legal limits.

Interesting aspects of life - Warren Buffet

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the secondrichest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

  1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he startedtoo late!
  2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from deliveringnewspapers.
  3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha,that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or afence.
  4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
  5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
  6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for theyear. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
  7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
  8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with WarrenBuffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gatesmet him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
  9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest inyourself and remember:
  • Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
  • Live your life as simple as you are.
  • Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feelgood.
  • Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feelcomfortable.
  • Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them whoreally in need rather.
  • After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our life."

PPP: Hotel Reservations.

I love travel. When I travel, since I am a mother now I prefer to plan my schedule and my lodging before my departure. I do not like one day trip, the trip that need me to start my journey from my place early in the morning then get home very late in the night. When I visit a country, even the country is very near which many people will make it a one day trip, I still prefer to have one night stay at that country. Why? I just do not want to make myself too rush with the visit and I always want a relax trip which I can enjoy my holidays with my family.
