How to Make Soda Bottle into Secret Stash

Here is a nice way to hide your secret stash of anything. I am always fond of making things like ordinary stuff lying around the house, fooling everyone into thinking that it is just a piece of junk.

Be Techie and Money Smart

There are more than a few ways how a person’s IQ is measured. There are some who measure it by academic performance like how book smart a person is. People under this category are usually either rocket scientists or Google programmers, either way, geeks are uber sexy! On the other side, there people who are not so good with books but are ultimately the royalties of being street-smart. These people know may not be able to build a quantum gravity replicator (if there is such a word) but knows their way when it comes to budgeting finances or getting their life goals in their own way. There are also sexy smart, those who are both physically and mentally attractive and people who are dumb smart, those who are neither dumb nor smart.

Ideally, I am kind of in the dumb smart category simply because you cannot survive as an administrator if you are not one, and at the same time I tend to make mistakes which I consider as dumb. Take for example my financial status. I am earn well for my age, but still I think I am not earning enough. In reality, I just spend a lot time and money and my excuse is, I am just enjoying the fruits of my labor. It is not easy to work as system administrator, you know!

And so I stumbled upon BillsIQ which gave me a fair idea of how knowledgeable I am with my financial IQ and when I tried their online IQ test, it gave me 80% as my score. It is below average according to their report, but the great thing about BillsIQ is they give advice and helpful reminders to help you remain in control of your finances. It sure helped me in being more financially smart about my expenses because their tips are straight to the point and simple to understand.

The only thing left for me is to take into action what I have learned.

Using Internet as Alternative to Malls

I am a mall rat. Wherever I go, I always make sure that I visit the malls in the area, even if all I do is window shop. Besides, I would rather buy souvenirs from the local market where I can haggle with the shopkeeper to make the most out of my money.

But the Internet has evolved into something to something not only as means of connection between computers, but into something much bigger, like as big as a mall – at least a virtual mall, that is.

You can buy anything from as big as car bumpers, to as tiny as engagement rings. Even dog collars and dog shirts are available on the Internet, if you know where to look for them. Ordering food is also possible, just fill up the form and someone from McDonald’s or Junior’s Cheesecake will contact you. Books are long available from the Internet as popularized by Amazon.com, where you can find books by authors like Dennis C Carey.

And it would not make sense if you cannot buy computer parts like monitors and keyboards from online stores.Whatever it is that you are looking for, it is very likely that there is someone, somewhere, selling it using the powers of the Internet. But why people like posting stuff for sale online?
