Finally, Allison Maslan’s Life Coaching Book

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Allison Maslan, author of “Blast Off!”. All opinions are 100% mine.

Allison Maslan, renowned for her life, business and career coaching skills is now lunching her book,  Blast Off!, which was launched on January 19, 2010 on all major online stores which includes Amazon, Borders and Barnes and Noble.

Contrary to what you may be thinking right now, Blast Off! is not like the typical self-help coaching book that leaves you hanging in the end not knowing what to do next.  Maslan’s coaching book is based on her own experience in life as well as starting businesses even in the midst of the financial crisis. Blast Off! promises to help readers tap into their passion, create clear direction, and then break it down to daily action steps that eventually leads to success.

Blast Off! is worth $24 and is available on Amazonfor even less and also comes with free shipping. I purchased mine at $17.96 and I’m hoping to get it soon in the mail as it is still not available on Kindle yet.

I just quit my thankless call center job in Cebu to finish my studies and focus on my netreprenurial endeavors and based on the reviews this coaching book got, I think it would also do wonders for me.

Starting to Like Dick

From time to time, I loose focus on this blog for several weeks and usually, after this period of absence, I start off by a welcome-back-to-blogging post. This is not an exception and I don’t feel ashamed about it. Should I? Why should I be ashamed when my readers, aside from search engine bots, are mostly people trying to look for the recent sleazy scandals as well as illegal game bots, cheats or hacks. I’m not disparaging these types of visitors in fact, I’m even grateful for each one of these lost souls who even find time to subscribe to this blog for no other reason than to wait for the recent board exam result or to get a copy of scandal files which got a certain Filipino blogger in trouble. These visitors are the bread and butter of my blogging career and to them I dedicate the song FU by Bamboo.

Enough of the shame part and my readers, a paragraph is enough for that, lets now talk about me. Me. Me. Me. There’s a reason why this blog is called BendzG.com and that’s cause it’s all about me. Nothing more, nothing less. Paragraph one about me is done so now let’s proceed with paragraph two.

The reason why I stopped blogging for a while again is because of my eyes. Been wearing glasses since 10 and my myopia-slash-astigmatism has gotten from worst to exponentially extreme worstdome (it’s not even a word) since I got my eee PC. Clearly, I haven’t taken into account how my eyes sucked when I got this thing with the 7-inch screen. I’m using it right now for this entry and I’m about to puke. I would have stopped had I have some better things to do.

For paragraph three, let’s focus on my lazy side. What could be lazier than spending your 2 days of rest lying on your newly procured twin-sized air-bed watching DVD reruns of US TV series. Oh yes, I got an ample supply of those. They sell it like hotcakes here thanks to it’s prize. Even Edu Manzano could not stop them with those expensive Ako Mismo ads on TV. I’m still on the first season of Ally McBeal and I’m starting to wonder people loved this show. I got derailed by the fourth season of Criminal Minds and the third season of South Park so it might take me 2 months to finish boring Ally. I still have the season three of British TV’s Skins waiting and some copies of old Richard Gere and Julia Roberts movies so it might take me another 2 months to buy new DVD’s. Not sure about it though.

I watched Transformers 2 yesterday and I loved it. I paid for the explosions and the CGI animations and not the story so I got my 160 pesos worth of excitement for more than two hours. Had I expected a good story, I would have picked Hanah Montana… maybe not.

I started tracking my expenses, by the way. It took me 3 hours to create an excel file just for such purpose only to use it for a week. It’s hard to keep tabs of my money simply because i’m tired of counting coins. I’ll revisit this practice when I earn big time and have more bills instead.

I’m reading again and this time my eyes are set to classics. It’s hard to look for one in my local bookstore so I get them through Project Guttenburg cause it’s free and they have a long list of it. I recently finished Hemingway’s Oldman and the Sea and Ayn Rand’s Anthem. They’ll definitely be added to my Facebook profile under favorite authors. Dan Brown sucks compared to these two geniuses.

I’ll be reading other ebooks once I get through with Dick. I logged for Dick since Jessica Zafra mentioned dick on her blog and how she loved it. I mean the author Philip K. Dick not the anatomical dick. Currently reading Follow My Tears, The Police Man Said. Not sure if I’ll like the plot since it sounds like the movie, The Net on the back cover. It’s the only Dick available on NBS so I grabbed it. Geeze, talking about Dick sounds lascivious. My friend told me to read a Dickens. He said his prose are nice. I took his words under advisement. I’m not sure I’ll be ready for another Dick-y author after this one.

How many paragraphs have i spent to talk about me again? Right. Did anyone get my point?
