How much spare time do you have in a week? Each of us certainly has his own answer. No matter what your answer, I am sure no one doesn’t have spare time. No matter how busy someone is, he certainly still has spare time, although not as much as those who are not busy persons.

Now I have a question for you. What do you usually do to spend your spare time? Watching televison? Playing computer games or PlayStation? Surfing on the internet? Playing with your Facebook? Hanging out with your friends? Having rest on your bed? Or what?

In this short article, I will show you that how wisely you spend your spare time will make big difference in your life.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh said that spare time is one of two gifts (from God) that are usually not spent well by people – and the second gift is health. It means that it’s commonly not easy for the people to wisely spend their spare time. Why? There may be so many reasons. That the people tend to have fun and do something that is no use in their spare time may be one of the reasons. Anyway, if you want to be a person that is different and distinguished from most people, what you can do is spending your time wisely. That way, you will make advantage over others.

Yes, all of us realize that we have to spend our spare time wisely. But how? This is the most important question.

Each of us should realize that things we have to do in our life are so many, even they are more than time we have. For this reason, we are supposed to have no spare time, aren’t we? But in fact, we do have it. So what’s wrong? I would like to say that what wrong is our time management, or to be precise, our time-scheduling.

What we are supposed to do is to plot all things we have to do in all time points we have. I name this stuff ‘time-scheduling’. Some people name it ‘making what-to-do list’. No matter what it should be named, I think – and hope – you get the point.

If someone doesn’t write down their activities, they tend to forget them. A simple example, they probably should do activity X on day Y, but they don’t do it because they forget doing them. This will not happen if they have a neat what-to-do list that can remind them what they have to do on a certain day.

I told you that we are supposed to have no spare time if we want to do all things we have to do in our life. However, I don’t deny that all of us need spare time – and in fact we all have it. We need to relax and chill out, particularly after working hard all the day or all the week. In brief, I don’t want to say that having spare time is wrong. Instead, I would like to say that we have to spend spare time as wisely as possible if we have it.

Back to the question: how? Firstly, you can do your next job. Although you can put it off until tomorrow, it’s always a good idea to finish your job as soon as possible. So, don’t wait until tomorrow. Furthermore, if you do tomorrow’s job today, you can do it in a more relaxed way. And everyone usually can do something much better if he does it in a more relaxed way – although I don’t deny that some people, in contrast, will do his best when they are under pressure.

The second thing you can do is having fun that gives you benefit. What kind of fun is it? It may be a hobby that improves you capacity. Instead of playing The Winning Eleven on PlayStation Console, you go to the pitch and play real football with some friends. The real football will build your body stamina, build your ability to work in team, and help you to socialize more. Instead of watching soap opera on the television screen, you may watch a Discovery program. You can have any kind of fun, as long as it gives you benefit. Avoid having fun that is no use and only wasting your time.

I think the two things I mentioned above are some choices you can do in your spare time. Pay attention to your spare time. Ensure that you never waste your time. Good luck!

Title: The House on Mango Street

Genre: multicultural fiction

Publication Date: 1984

Geographical Setting: Chicago

Time Period: 1980s

Series: no

Plot Summary: Esperanza Cordero is an 11-year-old Mexican American girl growing up in a shabby apartment in the barrio of Chicago. She dreams of someday moving to an actual house with a yard – her version of the American dream. But first she must escape the oppressive environment around her, full of poverty, violence, fear, and disregard for women. She watches as a beloved aunt dies from illness, friends are married off before they reach eighth grade, and others stay trapped in their homes because they cannot speak English or they cannot go outside without their husband’s permission. Her only hope is to work hard in school and stay out of trouble. As a friend’s aunt reminds her, however, “When you leave, you must remember to come back for the others… you can’t erase what you know. You can’t forget who you are.”

The book is made up of short stories and lyrical prose that tell an overall story. Written in first person, the narration is childlike, telling the stories of Esperanza’s friends, family, and neighbors through her 11-year-old eyes. Cisneros writes thoughtful descriptions of Esperanza’s colorful neighborhood and the people who live in it. The stories are told like memories—not following a linear plot. Instead, readers get an inside look at what it is like to grow up poor and Hispanic in a big city. The mood is earnest, sad, yet hopeful, with an unresolved ending that you hope turns out well.

Appeal Terms: personal, nuanced, spare, simple, nonlinear, first person narration, moving, poetic, lyrical, vivid, innocent, coming of age story, character centered, intergenerational, descriptive, urban, unpretentious, colorful, serious, thoughtful, female empowerment in a male dominated culture, inspiring, Mexican American immigrant experience, violent, set in Chicago, unresolved ending

we finished doing-over the spare bedroom downstairs early this summer.  it’s the office/guest room/laundry-prep room.  the girls call it the “changing room” because that’s where we would change them when they were in diapers.  bobbie jo calls it her room, christy calls it her room, but if we’re going for time spent there, it might be my mom’s room.  (sorry girls!)   i love many things about this room, but it is also the dumping ground for random things.

before:

nice beer box.  it’s full of office supplies.  cuz we’re classy like that.  we don’t even DRINK beer, i’m not sure where that box came from…  and if you know me closely, you’ll know that the second i enter my house, the jammie pants go on.  i play with my girls, i crawl around all day, i want to be comfortable.  so there’s my pants, waiting for the next time i have to leave my house.  again with the classy.  we have a new printer, so that area is clean right now, hunny loves him a vaccuum.  and sometimes i make beanie take a “rest” in there, so the bed is unmade…

after:

ooh, vaccuum lines and everything!!

before:

my halloween costume.  my hairdryer that belongs in the upstairs bathroom, picture frames under the chair, hunny’s working-outside clothes, the dressup stuff, and a stupid closet full of stupid stuff.

after:

i don’t wanna talk about the dustbunnies that were under the chair.  the air-intake register is right there, and it was sucking all KINDS of things into that location.  *shudder*  3 blondes in the house, i can’t blame just one of us for all that hair. ew.

and the girls’ crafts from school – i took a few down and spaced everything out, i’m darn proud of this curtain rod full of loveliness.

there’s stuff on the shredder that i *think* needs to be shredded, but that’s hunny’s task.  only he knows for sure.  =)

today was an easy one.  tomorrow i’ll go back to the craftroom.  there are some decisions to be made in there.

Este personaje ilustraba una nota sobre el genóma de los mexicanos; los diferentes genes de otras razas que se mezclaron para formar la nuestra.

In a land far away, in a time long ago, there was a man who had enough and had he not just enough, but to excess had he. His hours were long, his toils sincere, and his earnings quite dear. He ate well, he lived well, and he slept well. For this was a man with enough to spare and did he, with others share. For this, he was well regarded by his brethren, kin and neighbor, too. Even his foes kept a fond distance, for they were few and their character untrue, with only the cowardice of envy to spare. And so, the man slept well and he lived well.

It was common in those times, as in times now, for like to live by like. And so it happened that in a dwelling nearby lived a second man, well to do as he was. This man, too, had more than enough, enough even to excess. He ate well and he lived well, but he did not sleep well. Though his hours were likewise long, his toils were not sincere. The wind hums in question, how were his earnings dear? With cunning and not without conniving, this second man pondered and plotted his hours away. He left his toils to others near, that they may have reason not to stray. And stray they did not, their fear keeping them near. His foes were neither few and ever nearer they drew. Respect for this man fell away; in its place, stood only their contempt. And so, the second man, though he lived seemingly well, did not sleep so well.

It was true in those times, as in times now, that where a mountain stands tall, a valley lays nearby. And so it were that a third man lived not so far from the first and second men. But though he ate well enough, he did not live well and he did not sleep well. His toils were many and his hours even more. And whilst he would utter not such words, it was for the second man that he toiled so. Neither foe had he, nor friends with which to be. His hours filled with anger true and one part angst, and toil alone did he. And so, the third man did not sleep well, because he did not live well.

It was inevitable in those days, as in days of now, that where the sun shines upon a tree, never the land below is a golden ray to see. And so there was a fourth man, who served below all the others. Of excess and its meaning he understood not, knowing it to be a thing only that he lacked. His toil was not much, his time of rest neither more. For his hours were long and he never knew when, if, it would end. Foes he had not; for nothing did they fear nor more was there to envy dear. Friends were likewise few, too afraid of filth to stand even near. He ate not well, and by no man’s standard did he live well. But he did sleep well. With little to weigh him down and not a regret to hold him back, only the night was his friend, ever to return and always to keep him until the morn. And so, the fourth man did not live well, but he slept so very well.

With a heavy heart do we toil away what otherwise would we idle, or with light heart shall we rest when the day has met its end and bids farewell the eve.

This story of four men is but a tale of two: two ways to eat, two ways to sleep, and keeping true –there are but two ways to live.

Jeg har længe gået og sparet sammen til nogle nye forlygter til min bil for at pifte den lidt op. Nu har jeg fået sparet en del penge sammen, så er nu på shopping efter forlygter. Jeg har shoppet lidt på nogle forskellige hjemmesider, som har forlygter til biler, men jeg tror jeg skal shoppe lidt mere, før jeg har fundet de helt rigtige forlygter. Og det skal jo være de helt rigtige, nu når jeg har sparet sammen så længe..

Looker is a 1981 science fiction film written and directed by Michael Crichton. It starred Albert Finney, Susan Dey, James Coburn and featured former NFL linebacker Tim Rossovich as the villain’s main henchman. The film is a suspense/science fiction piece which comments upon and satirizes media, advertising, TV’s effects on the populace, and ridiculous standard of beauty. Though spare in visual effects, the film is notable for being the first commercial film to attempt to make a realistic computer generated character, for the model named “Cindy.” It was also the first movie to create 3-D shading with a computer, months before the release of the better-known Tron.

Kim Carnes recorded her own version of the title song for her album “Voyeur” (1982). The title song in the movie was performed by Sue Saad.

There’s a cute guy in one of my classes, and I like to stare at the back of his head and pretend that, secretly, he feels like his brain is melting.  And whenever he scratches his head, I like to pretend that that’s him trying to claw his way back in to pat out the fire in his brain.

Of course, he doesn’t play along very well when he doesn’t know the game.

SPARE some time with old friends, meet STRIKE up with new ones where the bowling is the activity that ends the weekend as we SPLIT for the week ahead. This promo was written for the TURKEYS.

Look for the Rainbow Flag!

Posted for Guido Climer

time, now, for nightgowns and sending a prayer

off to the time-stopping mountains up there

breathe deep and sigh ’til you float in the air

nothing in life has been or will be fair

moments in time when i doubted your care

have faded with love when there’s idols to spare

speak in a language and eat foreign fare

sustenance ruined by rotten despair

whether electric or an easy chair

nothing can stop you, no matter how rare

time, now, for sunrise and daytime somewhere

catch the first rays in a jar if you dare

side-tracked by monochrome (and spareness) yet again.

The wise expect the worst and purpose the best; the fool deny the worst and profess the best.

Spare the tear for what is dear and share freely the smile for all worthwhile.

The fool is quick to judge; the wise quick to forgive.

Ifølge forbrukerøkonom Sidsel Sodefjed Jørgensen i DnB NOR, bør vi studenter holde igjen og forberede oss på tøffere tider. Noe som i og for seg ikke er noen nyhet.

- Man bør lete etter muligheter til å legge seg opp penger nå. Disse kan komme svært godt med lenger ut i året. Og nå gjelder det å spare på en måte som gir enkel tilgang til pengene når man trenger dem, skriver Jørgensen på DnB NORs hjemmesider.

Den aller enkleste måten å få tak i oppsparte penger på.

Når jeg leser sånt, begynner jeg å lure.

Betyr dette at BSU og verdipapirer er mindre smart sparing fremover? På en måte, ja. Penger i BSU kan man kun ta ut når man skal kjøpe bolig. Og verdipapirer er sårbare for svingninger i økonomien, i tillegg til at de må omformes for å gi deg likviditet, det vil si penger i hånda som kan brukes der og da. Selv om det kaster mindre av seg, kan det være en tanke å spare på den “gode, gamle” måten akkurat nå, nemlig på høyrentekonto. Da vet du i alle fall til enhver tid hva du har.

Når renta går opp, øker prisene på varer og tjenester, og låneutgiftene dine skyter i været i takt med antall prosenter renta stiger.

Akkurat nå holder Sentralbanken styringsrenta uendret, ifølge nationen.no. Men fortsetter utviklingen med flere arbeidsledige, kan det igjen bli aktuelt å øke den.

Så medstudenter; hold hardt på lommebøkene deres. Dere er ikke upåvirket.

Hvordan renta påvirker vår privatøkonomi er det nok flere enn meg som burde visst mer om. Mange ønsker seg rentenedgang fordi det betyr at de får mer penger mellom hendene, men det er ikke helt bra det heller, har jeg funnet ut. Grunnen til det har jeg tenkt å blogge om i morgen.
