Select and collect

Being in the billed service industry, I am aware of the other side of the business, collection.
There are just some clients who in one way or another fails to settle their obligations causing to shoot up to some really serious cost. Accounts have been endorsed to third party collection agency but some of these accounts have been returned due to failure to collect.
Debt Collection is a serious thing of the business and in order for one to survive, this task must b handled by competitive ones.
Someone has to ensure that client’s profitability gets a clear view. The debt collection should be trusted to the one that has proven the system that includes low-cost fee structure, a customer-friendly industry and a very diplomatic intervention. Since the traditional collection becomes moot and academic, a new breed of collection approach is a must to ensure management of past due accounts. 
Every billed service company should get the service of the third party collection agency that promises to get results by offering different solutions to ensure that the service is tailor made for your collection needs. Get the service of the company that will develop a course of action that is right for you.

Shaking it off

When I was in college, I had to deal with issues on becoming a little overweight. I know that I was not fat but the thing is, my roommates were all skinny. While they were lounging around at home in their undies, I was in my pajamas trying to hide my lumps.
After several years, I lost some of my fats, naturally. Lucky me I guess. 
That insecurity I have had in college makes me understand how it feels how to be overweight I mean especially for the people who are in one way or another tipping off the weighing scale.
Especially those who are really up on their feet eating right, living a healthy life and going to the gym but for some reason, they cannot seem to shake off those unwanted and unsightly fats.
I cannot blame these peoples if they seek little help by popping some best diet pills. But my stand is it has to be tested and carefully evaluated by the experts to ensure that one is safe in achieving the ideal weight loss. You have to make sure that product reviews and information are always available.

Easier than I thought.

A week after being sent from the hospital and still a little edematous, I was sent to 4-day training. I was the last person in our team to have it.
I was so worried that the training that includes lots of thinking and computation would exacerbate my health condition. I am trying to avoid things that would cause me stress.
I am thankful that it’s over and I was able to pass the revalida plus I was able to ask permission from the trainer if I could elevate my feet on a chair.

Hungry like the wolf

I am not new to this. Legally I am on steroids with regulated dosage of course. I feel that I am a cookie monster when in front of anything that is edible. Problem is, I am supposed to be on low fat, low sodium and low protein diet. I am also limited to 1000 cc of fluid in a day so I cannot substitute anything that is filling with basically anything.

HSM3

Admittedly, I was the one who introduced HSM to my eldest niece. Between HSM and HSM 2 she is very much hooked on the latter. Even though she is not yet proficient in reading, she has memorized all the songs including the steps.
Since HSM3 will note be shown in cinemas, I am thinking of bringing her to the moviehouse.
At least I have a valid excuse to channel the HS in me!

My special diet is killing me

Naturally, I don’t crave for foods that are high in sodium nitrates, salts and fats.
I am generally a fruit, veggie and fluid person but due to some problems in my kidney, I am retaining water and my low-density lipoproteins (LDL) has shot up about 200% the normal value.
As such, I have instructed to eat generally bland food.
Arrgh!
 I pray that this problem would just go away.

The one or that man?

In the upcoming US Presidential election the heat is surging up. In the recently concluded Presidential debate, both Senators John McCaine and Barck Obama have showed off their plans for the economy. Even the average Joe the Plumber has has he 15-minutes of fame.
One thing I have bee noticing is, a lot of celebrities and big private entities are rooting for Obama. For example, Mark & Associates, P.C., a leading personal injury law firm that houses maritime lawyer has expressed that their hats are off to this Democratic presidential nominee. It was noted that Obama has pledged his support to Jones Act, a 1920 law which pays workers’ compensation benefits for seamen who are hurt in the line of duty.

Boo!

I am excited that I was able to register my nieces for the officer’s annual trick or treat.
I passed on last year’s gimmick because we went out of town.
But since I am considering that this might be the last trick or treat for me (not that I am dying haha), I decided to sign up my nieces.
I have been scrapping off the fairies and witches costume ideas I want my nieces to just enjoy the day running around the office.

A second opinion

I have had submitted myself to National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) for a series of lab workups.
It has been a month that I have this edema (fluid retention) and I have started on steroids already last Thursday along with a new brand and lowered dosage of medicine to lower my cholesterol.
I know for a fact the NKTI is a government hospital but I did not go in as an indigent patient. All the bills are being shouldered by my employer that is why I am expecting a better service.
Being requested for a number of times to go to the lab for tests and claim them then submit the results to my nephrologists is an exasperating task for me.
I cannot be up on my feet for long periods because the force of gravity pulls my liquid to my ankles. And admittedly, I am scared to look at my feet.
Last Friday was my restday, all day long I remained in bed with a few trips to the comfort room and kitchen 
And I feel relieved that the swelling has subsided.
But not for long because when I reported for work yesterday, it began to swell again.
I am scheduled to for a follow up check up on October 30 but I am thinking of going for a second opinion.

Review it first

Do you play casino or any form of gambling? I have not tried but some of my office mates say that it is really fun. I know someone who won 50 grand one time. It inspired him to always go at casino. He knows how to manage it though.

With the popularity of casino games, it is all around and there is now an online casino. Well, it would be a better thing because you do not have to get out of your house to play. It pays to go to a casino review site so that you will be able to find out which one is the best. Go to Casino.De. They have the news and information about the best casinos in the World Wide Web. If you are looking for an objective and trusted review, they are the ones who can give it to you. You could see there online casinos rated as to pay out bonus, software quality, customer service and support. You would see there where to play your favorite game like the famous blackjack and poker. If you would like to make sure that you will get some winnings, better review the casino you are going first.

Fashion Smashion

And speaking of fashion trendy TV drama, I was again mesmerized by the blings worn by the characters there.
I am a sucker for fashion jewelry because they truly make or break your overall appearance. So I suggest that if you are doubtful of which set goes with a get up or which set is ideal for a specific occasion, trust the company that has a reputation of over 37 years in providing savvy, stylish and affordable jewelry.
When it comes to exceptional quality and great customer friendly service Holsted Jewelers is THE shop.
You've got to wear to believe.

DVD and movie marathon

During my bedrest period, I was able to catch up on my favorite TV series on DVD. I was able to finish Season 1 of Gossip Girl and I was able to finish Season 2 of Ugly Betty.
I was trying to keep my mind away from the thing that had caused me to be on sick leave.

Tiring lab workup

I have been on not totally bed rest since Saturday last week until Thursday. Monday I went to our office clinic to get the home medications. My bad cholesterol has doubled its value due to my kidney problem.
Tuesday, I went back to see the nephrologists to submit the lab result for the biopsy and the anti ds DNA. Since she found out that the biopsy and anti ds DNA are contradicting, she ordered the final test on the tissue remaining (saved in the lab) to confirm or rule out what she is suspecting. I am too scared to mention it.
She also ordered for a fecalysis since I was complaining of diarrhea and asked me to stop taking Lipitor for three days.
I went back to the office to get the form from the clinic so that I won't have to pay for the lab fees.
Wednesday, I went back to the hospital to submit the stool specimen and to request for the final test.
Now I am in limbo.
I am praying that I don't have that disease for I won't be able to practice my profession as a nurse in January.
I have passed my California stateboard exam.

A Very Strong Back up

In this techy era, where our daily activities are anchored to the internet and our lifeline is the software, we have to be prepared for any untoward incidents that might be caused system breakdown. We have to be sure that we always have back up in terms of data management and data protection. We have to be equipped by a disaster recovery software powered by one of the top Data Warehouse 100 Vendors. I am talking about Syncsort Incorporated which boasts of its reputation for superior data protection and data management and a dependable technical support.
Trust me you don't want to be crashing down once you have encountered a computer crash down.

A slice of scary moment

In over 2 week's time, I have gained 5 kilos due to almost massive fluid retention. I decided to submit myself into hospital confinement because I want immediate attention.
It's my first time to be hospitalized.
I was referred by our in house cardiologist to a nephrologist (kidney specialist) in a National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI). It's a government hospital but since the consultant holds her clinic there, I said I might as well have my confinement there. And besides my initial lab work ups were done there.
For exactly two days, I was confined. I was started on diuretics (Thank goodness) to loose all the excess fluid in my body through urine. I feel great that I was able to lose most of the unwanted fluids.
I had my slice of scary moment when I had my renal biopsy. Although I had a local anesthesia, I felt the hits on my back as if they were jabs.
