Its now or never!

While im checking my mail yesterday, one message from my inbox got my attention.Its a newsletter by HMR Auction Services, Inc. In contains all the items to be auctioned on a particular date.

This marketing strategy of HMR is really good to target a certain niche.
Isn't it a sign that even Live auctioning company is already starting to have a share of the online market? This is something to be watch for in the near future. And it will surely add a huge contribution to the e-commerce industry.

Needless to say, maybe few seasons from now all provincial bidders of HMR find themselves casting their bids using just their wifi-powered laptops. No one knows, the power of technology is really unpredictable.

I was able to write a pinch of information about HMR Auction Services, Inc. few weeks back. You can see it here

Calling all Auctioneers out there, expand your business by indulging into online Auctions. Well in fact its just an additional avenue for your potential customers to reach you. Better doing it now or else its too late.

One of a kind Bidding

I just want to share this auction story. happened few months ago in a birthday party of a friend. We ran out of pulutan, left was only a plate of barbeque, 5 sticks if i remember it correctly. Over a very few pulutan was 1 case of san miguel beer pale pilsen
. We are all drank and most of us were refusing to take another bottle. We are eight in the group including the birthday celebrator, Joseph.

Here is the scene, 5 bottles of beer are put in a huge-glass pitcher. using one tumbler (tagayan) all of us is ought to drink whenever their turn comes. With only few pulutan we decided to have a bidding game. " For one bite of the barbeque how many shot of beer can you consume"? I can drink half glass of beer for that one barbeque bite, I said. my friend Howard shouted "I can drink one glass for that pulutan"! surely my friend won the auction. He drank one glass of beer bottoms up just to have a bite of the pulutan. Everybody was so happy during that auction game. It came to a point that just to consume all the beers faster, for one whole-stick of barbeque my friend Ronnel drank 3 glasses of beer.

Did i mentioned while doing the auction for barbeque
, we still take a shot of beer each time our turns come?

Everybody was so happy...surprisingly no one vomits that night.

Online Auction for Beer Aficionados

I must admit that I’m a beer drinker but not the alcoholic type. Like me I am sure every man or even women out there have their reasons why they drink this liquid with an awful taste.

Some says, drinking helps them deal with problems. I agree to that but don’t get over-drunk or else another problem will strike you for sure.
For others, drinking helps them have a good time. Correct! But as I remember the last time I got dizzy with beer I ended up quarrelling with a taxi driver. Thats not the good time im expecting.

It is also true that Drinking is cool. Correct again! The image of a drinker is cool especially to the eyes of some ladies. But thinking twice, does having slurred speech & being clumsy is cool? Hehehe I don’t think so.

Wait, what the heck I’m saying here? I’m supposedly blogging about AUCTION , but why this Beer thing is entering my thoughts?
Aha...I remember there’s an ongoing online auction of vintage Beer here . Breweries and private collectors had donated their beers since the money will be given to a foundation I guess. You may want to join the online auction and win a bottle of cold vintage beer .

P.S. Im not drunk!

Alex Scandal

Some readers might find this post unfresh & irrelevant, but for Alessandra De Rossi's avid fans this is still worth to know.

October last year a terrible fight between Alex and his non celebrity boyfriend was caught on video. I'm just unsure if the local media has picked this story out. Or maybe i just missed it because i don't watch television nor read newspapers regularly. According to some viewers the video showed how angry-to-death the unknown guy with Alex. It is not confirmed if the fight is jealousy-driven or if the guy is under the influence of alcohol. But its clearly stated that no one was hurt during the confrontation.

Since last year the said video hits thousands of views from the number one video portal "You Tube". You may take a quick-look of the controversial video here .
