I’ve been using Google Drive for the last few weeks and really love it. Its cheaper then Dropbox right now, but I won’t give up Drop Box yet. Drop Box still have many other features that I choose over Drop Box such as version recovery and unlimited recovery. The plus side of Google Drive is that its free and it offers 5GB.
SkyDrive – 25GB
Drop Box – 2GB with 14GB of referals
Google Drive – 5GB

So many of us by now should know with Comcast we have a 250GB a monthly bandwidth allotment, and if you love computers like me should be coming close to or maxing out your allotment monthly.
Today age we technology is part of our life. We use it everyday! Literally everything is on the computer. A few years back I can see we barely use 250GB limit due to the fact we store everything on our own computers. We only check mails, pictures, and some YouTube. Now that there’s service such as Cubby, Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, and many other cloud services out there it really burns up all your bandwidth easily. For instance my Dropbox acount total of 78GIG right now that my computer sync everyday. I find that its unfair for Comcast limits. I received serveral warnings from Comcast to cut back on my usage else they’ll cut me off. I watch YouTube and Netflixs videos about 5-10 hours a day while working.
Here comes the internet to the rescue. That’s when I read many post out there that Comcast Business class internet doesn’t have such limits! I called them up right away and signed up for $59.99 Comcast Business Class Starter internet play. Here’s my usage below:

As you can see that’s lots of video’s watching! I’m so happy with Business Class internet! I have to say its seem like its faster for 12MB/2mb comparing to residential service. It’s more stable than my residentual internet. I had lots of issues having Comcast come out to fix it. They never really fix anything except charge me for the service fee. The disconnects happens at night around 8-5am while I’m trying to get my work done. Now after I have switched over to Business Class Internet Starter package I never had any problems for a monthly from the above bandwidth. I’m burning 3x times the bandwidth that I use to burn. Before I was using around 300 a month! I love the feeling of no limitations.

Its been so long since I updated you guys! I’ve been great! Huong is here in the United States and shes still trying to adapt to the living style here. In Vietnam what ever you make that is how much you take home. Here in the US its different. What ever we make is not take home money. We have to deduct all living expensive and bills that we have to pay before we take the money home. Huong is currently having problems with that. She is thinking I’m spending like crazy! if anyone go the time to give her a call at 360-550-5837 and update her how its like here in the US it would be appreciated.
Beside all that! Everything is fitting into place! Baby is doing fine! Phu hasn’t got sick yet since hes been in the US that makes things a plus! Trieu is growing fast!

Sometimes you know what you’re doing, sometimes you got no clue what to do next. That’s where I am. I’m went and got a Costco card. I guess it saves a few bucks here and there. My wife works right across from Costco so its perfect. I pick her up everyday after work so if we ever need anything its a quick pick up.
Over the last two month I been playing this Zeek Rewards and it seem like a legit way to market their Zeekler.com system that they have.

Sometimes we don’t got a clue what we want to do in life. Sometimes determination is a hard word to realize we loose grip on. I’m determine to go through this to test myself. I want to gain responsibilities and self respect.

Yay! After going through 4 bestbuy routers, 2 walmart routers and 2 office depot Linksys E4200 I found Version 1 which works with Tomato firmware! I got tomato custom firmware install and now configuring it! Spent nearly a day working with it and configuring it at Cameo Designs routers.

My heads about to burst hearing baby cries all day! They sleep for 30- minutes and they wake up crying. I’m going nuts hearing the cries everyday! I finally know how hard it is to take care of babies alone! TRUE ALONE!

3 days ago I joined a program call Zeek Rewards which makes their money base off a Penny Auction Site. I decided that it doesn’t hurt to invest a couple of hundreds and see the out come since Penny Auction is so popular these days.
I’ll report back and let you know what you have to do to earn.
