Life Insurance or Annuity?

While life insurance is prevalent among people, annuity is a type of insurance that pays you for a set of period of time. In a nutshell, you’ll be paying a lump sum and then be given monthly allowances until a certain time. Usually, when a person dies, the insurance company will pay the living relatives a death benefit. There are two types of Annuity: The Accumulation Phase and the Annuity Phase. The former is just the one I have explained earlier. The latter, which is the Annuity Phase, is where a person receives a steady income for life but does not offer a death benefit. For more annuity information, I suggest visiting Annuity Advantage and check out their extensive lists of companies that offers Annuity Insurances.

Hot Hot Summer!

Summer is definitely here in the country. In fact, it’s like we live in a huge oven and we are toasted to agony every single day. Yes, it’s that hot! It’s a good thing that we have a backyard that has three huge trees erected.

Anyway, my mom and my sister are planning to buy a hammock and stand next month. Since we have trees that gives us shades, I think it’s not a bad idea.

I like this one a lot.


It’s on sale right now. =)

Sims 3: Invalid Version Of Town Life Disc

Okay. So this is my solution to the Invalid Disc thingy after patching my base game from 1.24 to 1.33. This may not be the REAL solution, but it worked for me. It’s up to your if you want to try it or not.

——————–

I updated my Sims 3 version from 1.24 to 1.33 using GAMES4THEWORLD’s manual patch update. It was successful. However, when I tried to open the game, it would push through until it reached the part where I have to choose which world/household/sim to play, an error saying.. “INVALD VERSION OF TOWN LIFE DISC.. etc etc”.

I made many attempts to make it work again.

1st ATTEMPT:

- Copy the files under the CRACK folder of the Sims 3 TOWN LIFE CD.
- Paste them inside the Sims 3 base game (program files > electronic arts > the sims 3 > game > bin)

= DIDN’T WORK.

2nd ATTEMPT:

- Copy the files under the CRACK folder of the Sims 3 TOWN LIFE CD.
- Paste them inside the Sims 3 base game (program files > electronic arts > the sims 3 > game > bin)
- Paste the files again but this inside the TOWN LIFE FOLDER (program files > electronic arts > the sims 3 town life > game > bin)

= DIDN’T WORK.

My solution to INVALID VERSION OF DISC TOWNLIFE ETC…

- Open The Sims 3 Fix folder (or the Ultimate Fix from GAMES4THEWORLD)
- Copy the files inside the SHOWTIME, MASTER SUITE, PETS, TOWN LIFE folder.
- Paste them at (program files > electronic arts > the sims 3 > game > bin)

- Open The Sims 3 Fix (or the Ultimate Fix from GAMES4THEWORLD)
- Copy the files inside the # Crack folder.
- Paste them at (program files > electronic arts > the sims 3 > game > bin)

I know it’s weird that I have to copy and paste both files in the same directory. But what the hell! I really want my game to load again.

Basically, I just followed the steps provided by GAMES4THEWORLD in their # Intallation Guide PDF. Steps 10 AND 13 to be exact.

Note: Just be aware that your custom worlds might be gone or something after you update. It happened to me but I got it back because I saved a copy to my dekstop.

I’m also using the RELOADED version of Sims 3. =)

Buy Affordable Medical Equipment Online

It’s amazing how we can now shop online in the comfort of our home. Sometimes I can’t help but think about the things we can’t and we can do back then. Anyway, I came across this online medical equipment store last week. I thought of sharing it here because I know a lot of people in the medical field and those who are also looking for medical supplies for their home. I suddenly remembered my Grandfather who’s suffering from Diabetes, and my mom who needs to undergo some physical therapy sessions. It’s a good thing the website offers a wide selection of medical equipments in a very affordable price. Mind you, the website does not only cater to human medical equipment, but also to our furry little friends as well. Cool, eh? =)

Instagram for WordPress ♥

Oho! New theme. =) I like it for its simplicity. No header images whatsoever. Well, except the name of my blog and in my sidebar which I deliberately filled with images because I don’t want my blog to look boring.

Anyway, I’d like to share this wonderful WordPress plugin I found yesterday called, InstaPress. By installing and activating the plugin, you get to display your Instagram photos in your sidebar or anywhere in your blog. You can also create your own Instagram Gallery with the plugin’s paging functionality feature — I tried this one, but it seems that it doesn’t work for me, maybe theme or plugin compatibility issues. Anyhoo, it’s very easy to use and I recommend it to those who wants to showcase their Instagram photos in their blog.

- Download InstaPress
- Extract the file and upload the InstaPress folder to your (wp-content/plugins) folder.
- Login to your WordPress dashboard > plugins > InstaPress and activate.
- For further configuration, go to settings > Instapress.

Use the following shortcode in your post or pages:

ex. 

Use the following shortcode in your theme (sidebar):

ex. 

userid: ID or username of instagram user (leave blank for popular media, use “self” for your own media or “myfeed” to display your feed)
piccount: Number of instagrams to display (Default: 9) – Note: It is highly recommended to enable caching for more than 20 pictures
size: Size of instagrams in pixels (Default: 85)
effect: Name of the effect to use for the slideshow (Currently only ‘fancybox’ possible) – Since 0.4.3
url: If this value is set, Instapress ignores the value for userid and piccount and displays a single Instagram (no authorization required!) – Since 1.0
title: If this value is set to 1 and an effect was set, Instapress will show the Instagram’s title – Since 1.0.1
paging: If this value is set to 1, your pictures will be displayed as an image gallery. The value for piccount defines the number of pictures per page.
tag: Use this option to filter Instagrams by tag. Note: At the moment you can only use a single tag. The userid option is ignored if you set this option.

So in my case, I used:

Easy, right? =)
