BPI Expressonline Bills Payment Credit Points

I am usually paying my bills thru my BPI Express Online account for convenience and no hassle long line.  After I logged in this night, I found this advertisement saying that I can earn credit points when paying bills thru BPI expressonline.  I can use this credit points to earn a free meal for the establishment sponsoring on that period.  Jollibee is the sponsor this period.   I felt surprise because its been a long time I am paying bills thru this and didn’t notice this advertisement.

So, I registered to avail this promo by clicking below image at the bpiexpressonline website or going thru this link https://billspaymentrealthrills.mybpimag.com

Then I clicked register button to avail the promo.

I click the “SHOW ME HOW” button for help me filling out the form. 

After successful registration in this promo, I found that I already earned 5 credit points and I only need another 2 credit points to earn a free spaghetti meal . 

Clicking the “See Credit Details” will show you the transactions that made you earn the credit points.

Finally, I already earned 7 credit points (needed for free spaghetti meal).  I can now claim my reward.

After clicking the "Claim this reward" button, another window popped up.

Wealth is a Feeling, Measured by Gratitude Bo Sanchez

- true measure of wealth is not your money, your real estate, or your jewels
- the true measure of wealth is how grateful you are

Wealth Is A Feeling

By Bo Sanchez

Let me shock you. Wealth is not primarily your cash or your houses or your cars. I believe wealth is first of all an emotion. Wealth is a feeling.

The true measure of wealth is not your money, your real estate, or your jewels. The true measure of wealth is how grateful you are. The more grateful you are, the wealthier you are. The less grateful you are, the less wealthy you are. It's that simple.

20 years ago, I was earning P30 a day. Yet I felt so rich. Because I was so grateful for God's blessings. Today, I even feel richer. Not just because I earn more, but because I've become even more grateful.

As I told you before, there are three levels of gratitude: Superficial, Simple, and Sacred.

1. Superficial Gratitude

Superficial Gratitude is being thankful for big-ticket items.

A house. Car. Marriage. Baby. Healing. Big Business deal.

Superficial gratitude is very good, but I warn you that it doesn't last very long.

Like yesterday, I read a story of a man who finally passed the bar exam after 9 attempts. For those 9 years, passing the bar exam was like a full time job. But finally, he passed it! Imagine if you're John. You'd be very grateful. But soon, you'd have new problems as a lawyer.

I remember my friend who finally got married at the age of 51. Imagine her joy. I'm sure she was very grateful. But eventually, new problems will come up. Like marital problems.

Superficial gratitude is good, but it doesn't last. Because after awhile, big problems come with big blessings.

You need to move to the second level of gratitude.

Collisions in LAN Interface FastEthernet - CISCO troubleshooting

As part of my daily job as Network Operation Engineer, I received a case from a managed router that it's LAN Interface FastEthernet0/0 was keep on bouncing. Logs and interface stats was telling me that the interface was experiencing collisions. See details below.

Initial investigation was telling me that the LAN interface FastEthernet0/0 was configured as speed and duplex auto. But I found out that the interface resulted to be in half duplex 100 Mbps. By theory, it is telling me that the device or equipment that is connected to this interface is configured also to 100 Mbps Half Duplex but I have no way to verify it because we don't manage that equipment. In order to know this, I should call the customer to do it for me which is not appropriate at this time because we have time zone difference of 13 hours. See, if there is a sunlight here where I am standing, I'm sure, they are now sleeping or out of office already. Who want to be called out business hour? I don't either.

So I tried my luck, and googling it to find the answer. I found out that some routers have issue in their auto-duplex and speed config. The possible work around is to force the interface config to 100 Mbps full duplex and boom, it solved the problem. Collisions disappeared in the interface and still 0 errors after clearing the counters.

GEO graph as of 120709

In my own newbie analysis, I think it is good to buy GEO now for bottom fishing.  It is clearly shown in the graph that it is already touched the bottom with support around 0.83.  Big volume came around at 0.85 and 0.86.  So, many bought around these prices consider that it is also included in the magnificent 7 stokcs of JAP.
