The World's 10 Most Dangerous Airlines

I have a Brazilian friend who is afraid in flying with a plane. This is also the reason why she don't go often on vacation when  flying  with airlines are required. I told her, probably she is not used to it. I also recommend that it is better for  her to board often in an airplane to get rid of her fright. She was happy last time when they were able to made it to Thailand for their family holiday.

I love to fly with any airlines everytime I go on travel especially distant ones. I am trying to remember how many airlines did I already boarded during my past travels. I believed around 10 airlines already. I have to check my travel tickets and documents for this. Thank God I am not afraid to board in a plane or else I  was not able to visit almost 30 countries now.

Today, I read about the World's 10 Most Dangerous Airlines. Take a look at this;

"Flying was less deadly in 2012 than in any year since 1945, but that does not mean all airlines are equally safe.

The Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC), which collects information about aviation accidents and safety, has published its annual Airline Safety Ranking.

The ratings take into account the number and deadliness of the hull losses (destroyed airplanes) they have suffered in the past 30 years, how they have fared more recently, and how many flights they have flown without incident.

The results do not take into account the cause of the hull losses, or whether the airline is at fault, so they are not a perfect measure of how safely an airline behaves. Of 60 ranked airlines, here are the 10 with the worst safety records, including the number of hull losses since 1983, and how many fatalities they caused:
 #10 SkyWest Airlines: 3 hull losses; 22 dead
#9 South African Airways: 1 hull loss; 159 dead
 #8 Thai Airways International: 5 hull losses; 309 dead
#7 Turkish Airlines: 6 hull losses, 188 dead
#6 Saudia: 4 hull losses; 310 dead

First Week of 2013

Happy New Year everyone!  Holiday season is over but we can also make each day a season of  Christmas! Right folks? I hope that the first days of January 2013 went great with you all.  Not really perfect  for  me but so far I am doing good. It is just sad when we hear that somebody in the family is sick. I pray that everything will be fine soon.

My first weekend  went well. I had fun with friends especially when we attended a birthday party this weekend.  It was truly a birthday blast and I am so happy for our dear friend  Espie. I believed  it was a success and everyone was also happy and contented during the celebration.

Another week of the year is here. I am already starting to clean-up my Christmas decors. Today was quite a busy day. I started to put away most of the decors in our home. I am hoping to finish  it tomorrow because there are still other tasks and chores that are waiting for me the coming days. I want to pack up a balikbayan box  for sending in my home country. I want to start doing it when I am done  with the clean-up.

I guess that is all for now.  Take care everyone and stay healthy and happy! All the best  during this year, 2013! God bless us all!

Patio and Garden Projects

2012 is almost over.  I believed everybody is looking forward for a better and prosperous New Year 2013. Everybody wants to live a happy, peaceful and abundant life with all the basic wants and needs provided in our day to day living. Right folks?

I am thankful that during the past months of 2012, we had accomplished a lot. Minor and major renovation in our home and garden were done and some are just started.

In the coming year 2013, we plan to finish other home and garden projects. Here are some in our list;

Garden Furniture- We have a garden set but it is made of plastic. We are planning to replace it with wooden garden furniture. I hope this will be materialized next year. When most of  our major projects are done, for sure we can buy a better one.

Garden Lights and Lighting- Since we built our patio, I have no idea where did I put our solar lights for our garden. I guess they are not working anymore because they already obsolete. I am planning to buy new ones next year.

Garden House- We still have a little space left for a garden house. I only have plants and flowers in our garden but if we will build a garden house next year, I would surely plant organic vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, eggplant, beans and others.

Fish Tank- I have a big one of this in my home country. If we are done with our bathroom and kitchen renovations early next year, I would love to buy a little fist tank with maybe around 30-40 litres size. I saw one in my friend's house last month and it reminds me of the one I have back home. Watching the fishes swimming and the accessories inside feel so relaxing.

Top 10 Reasons holiday makers overspend Infographic

This infographic represents the main holiday expenses: food, alcohol, trips, gifts, duty free, travel & transport, holiday decorations, clothes, sports, and accessories. Christmas is a great opportunity to relax and save up some strength for work; however, the holiday season is particularly expensive. The most popular states to spend Christmas vacation in are: Nevada, New York, Colorado, and Florida. 37% of Americans even don’t think about their spending, especially when they are on vacation. Astoundingly, 63% of Americans take out payday loans to get quick cash, along with high fees. During the holiday season, it is necessary not only to control your expenses, but also to use payday loans right way, for emergencies.

Wishlist

Are you starting to wrap your presents for the coming holiday? Christmas is almost coming! Many of us have wishlists this coming holiday season. It might be for our family, our friends, relatives or  maybe for  ourselves.  

I also have a holiday wishlist of my own. Here are some of it;

Digital Camera- I already have a lot of digital cameras including a DSLR one but I am still searching for a better one that is good in taking pictures with low light or during the night.

Office Chair- As a blogger who sits in front of the computer everyday, I really need good office chair. The seat cover of my chair is worn-out now and it really needs a replacement asap.

Tablet PC- This is one of the gadgets that I need especially when I travel. I have been planning to buy one this Christmas and I hope to  get one. I am just quite confused which brand to buy.

Printer- Another machine that I needed. Most of the times when I need something to be printed I ask a good friend to print it for me. Since she is going back to the US in a week, it is time for me to buy a printer.

These are only some of the things that are in my holiday wishlist.
