Halloween may still be some time away but if you are someone who wants to look perfect this Halloween, it is not too early to start shopping now. Besides, you don’t need an occasion like Halloween to be decked in sexy halloween party costumes. Many people now like to host adult costume parties. That’s where you could show off your Halloween party costumes as well!

I was informed earlier today that NetPinky is running an awesome sale on sexy adult party costumes where you would enjoy up to 40% off regular prices on all sexy costumes.

You know, if I were shopping for adult sexy costumes, browsing through the selections offered by NetPinky, I really wouldn’t know which to buy. The shopper in me would want every single item. Yes, they are so beautiful and of course, sexy too, but that goes without saying!

If you plan to attend a costume party or Halloween party, or even if you have no plans to do so it is always good to have something like this handy, check out NetPinky and see what they have to offer. You will be amazed. Do not let this promotion go to waste. We don’t know when the next offer will come around!

Getting Noticed

It is very difficult, it seems, to get a job now. One blogger I know, an expatriate in Japan, has just been laid off and will head for home, following the report that Japan recorded an unemployment rate of 5.2% in May, 2009. June should be higher.

A few posts ago, I mentioned that Sherry Campbell got herself noticed by listed herself and her credentials on eBay and was subsequently hired. This morning, Andy Palmer informed me that he is in the middle of a month’s contract with internetbusinessschool.co.uk. I thought I would share the good news. All is not lost after all, even though times may be tougher. Congratulations, Andy and Sherry!

It certainly takes a lot of audacity to secure a job, especially on that is better. A friend, who was unemployed for nine long months, finally found a job but had to settle for one that is lower paying. I understand that the position is lower as well, though it is not in the exact same industry. But who cares? As long as one is willing to continue seeking, I believe that he (or she) will find!

Online Presence For Your Business

I discovered that although some of my friends have been in business for as long as a year now, they still do not have a website. I think they have underestimated the power of the internet and the potential it has.

Of course, having a website for your business is not be all and end all. However, it is the first step in establishing an online presence and if you have big plans for your business, this is something that should be taken care of as soon as possible. If you have a website, you would definitely look more professional.

Before I set up my website, my main concern about running a website is its cost. I was afraid to incur costs on Web Hosting. I didn’t know anything abut webhosting and websites, you see.

Actually, building a website doesn’t have to be too expensive. Pickawab.co.uk offers low cost webhosting for businesses yet one would still be able to build a professional looking website by using their tools, without even the need to hire a web designer.

One thing I am very particular about when choosing web host is its customer support. I am glad to note that Pickawab offers such support 24/7 by email, online chat and even telephone call.

New PayPal Seller Protection

If you are a seller on eBay outside of the United States, you would probably be one of the sellers newly offered with PayPal Seller Protection like I am. Yes, this protection program has been extended to eBay Malaysia as well and I say it’s about time!

To qualify for PayPal Seller Protection, sellers have to receive payment for items sold on eBay via PayPal only. In addition, sellers must ship the item to the address of buyer that is on PayPal records.

Most importantly, sellers must be able to produce shipping proof or documentation should buyer initiate a claim or charge back. If you do not have these, then I am afraid PayPal would not be in a position to help.

The good news is that it is totally free to enjoy such protection. Now, if only buyers here in Malaysia on eBay Malaysia would use PayPal exclusively for payments!

Designer Inspired Jewelry & Accessories

If you know me personally, you will know that I see no point in spending too much money on bling blings. Don’t get me wrong. I do buy jewelry and accessories for myself and as gifts. I particularly love to buy these for my female friends and family and see the sparkle in their eyes when they open the gift!

Rather than buying real jewelry, I prefer to buy designer inspired costume jewelry like those at Holsted Jewelers where they are sold at a fraction of the cost only.

Designer pieces from Holsted Jewelers are just as high quality and eye catching. Why should we spend a small fortune on one designer piece when we could buy multiple designer inspired pieces from Holsted Jewelers?

If you are looking for a gift, or even to award yourself, check Holsted Jewelers. They have new arrivals!

Japan Unemployment Rate Rose To 5.2% in May

Japan announced that their unemployment rate has risen to 5.2% in May of 2009, with a total of 3.47 million jobless people. This is amazingly high compared to 770,000 jobless people a year ago. This rate of 5.2% in May worsened from 5.0% in April of this year, which is a rise of 0.2% “only”.

While I have read a lot of such statistics of other countries, I have not seen such data on Malaysia’s employment (or unemployment) rate. I know that many people lost their jobs. Some of my friends lost their jobs.

At the same time, some of these recently unemployed friends managed to secure a job, albeit after a lapse of months or even longer, but they have to make do with a smaller pay check and lower position. That’s better than nothing, I tell them! Ride the cow while they look for a horse!

Setting Up Offshore Bank Accounts

A friend told me that he has plans to expand his business. Since he is doing international business, it would do him good to set up an offshore bank account. It would provide him with an international presence as well as allow him the flexibility to trade in various international currencies and gives him access to various financial facilities and services that are not available here.

Setting up corporate and even personal Offshore Bank Accounts are a lot easier and hassle free now compared to previously, where we have to prepare all the documents and travel. This, of course, made it difficult to many of us and in fact, it was not something that everyone knew about because it seemed too difficult to obtain.

With the services offered by APGI, many companies and even individuals now have access to offshore banking facilities and there is no need to spend extra money on traveling, if we could spare the time for international travel!

In addition to conducting international business, an offshore bank account holder is actually protecting his cash and tangible assets from various elements in his country or jurisdiction, including lawsuits and tax audits.

I am sure that you have read about the rich having “secret bank accounts” in the papers. You could have one now too!
