Online sweepstakes are contests of chance sponsored by a promoter to promote their products. To participate, the sweeper has to read the rules and regulations, fill in a registration form after and wait for Lady Luck to come calling. It’s as simple as that!

Thanks to living in a world dominated by computers, online sweepstakes are getting more and more popular by the day. Of course, traditional, mail-in sweepstakes also draw their fair share of sweepers, but that’s nothing when compared to the sheer volume of people attracted to online sweepstakes.

One of the greatest disadvantages of the traditional mail-in sweepstakes is the volume of entries one can send in, or the lack of it. When you need to buy postcards/papers and fill them out by hand, the number of entries you send in is seriously limited. And any winning sweeper will tell you that sending in more entries will maximize your chances of winning.

Online sweepstakes have a number of advantages that make them infinitely more attractive to the tech-savvy sweeper. Entering into an online sweepstake is truly free, in every sense of the word. No need to spend money buying postcards or other supplies. No wasting money and time looking for the specified size of postcard/paper.

Online sweepstakes eliminate the need to fill in pages of information by hand. That means no need to spend hours trying to write legibly while avoiding spelling errors. You won’t have to worry about sending in an incomplete entry because most programs check if you have filled in everything. Best of all, no worries about getting those numbers on the addresses wrong. As they say, less work, more pay!

Online sweepstakes are tamper and damage proof. By submitting your entries online, you don’t have to worry about losing your postcard in the mail or dropping it in the rain (hey, worse things have happened!). Just hit the submit button and you’re done.

Most online sweepstakes allow you to log your promotion activities, so you can easily monitor which promotions you have entered.

Another important advantage of online sweepstakes is that they are relatively easy to find. Just type in the term in Google or some other search engine and there are thousands of sweepstakes begging to be entered in.

Online sweepstakes increase your chances of winning because they make it easy for you to send in as many entries as you want. There are tools like Roboform that allow you to fill up the registration form in one click.

Online sweepstakes owe a great deal of their popularity to faster internet connections. Promoters find it easy to create and hook up these contests. Sweepers find it easier to enter, quicker to fill out and safer to send. No wonder online sweepstakes, games, contests and lotto’s have become so popular.

Filipina Kisses asked:

Philippine girls are popular for their exotic beauty and warm smiles. There are many beautiful Filipinas who are internationally famous. Philippine girls are not only beautiful, but they are also charming and cheerful. The Filipina heart is often sincere and faithful in her relationships.

Philippine girls always respect her elders. Most of the time, she will seek approval from her parents before she can accept any suitor to court her. Filipina women in the Philippines live with her parents for as long as she is still unmarried no matter how old she is.

To win her Filipina heart you should be really willing to visit her family and introduce yourself formally to her parents. It is disrespectful if a man courts a Filipina girl without informing her parents! In the Philippines, you should know that it is always expected that the man must show his face to the Filipina girl’s family or else her whole family will not approve of you!

Many Filipina women have a heart of gold. They are also very sweet, loving, romantic, loyal and really faithful to the man they love. So, if you want to marry a Filipina lady, you should focus to win her Filipina heart, and you can have a faithful and loving beautiful Filipina girlfriend. However, you have to be really patient in your courtship and really sincere in your intentions so you will win the love of her Filipina heart and make her your Philippine bride.

It is often thought that having a serious relationship is a stepping stone to marriage. Therefore, a boyfriend must meet all the requirements of the family before he can marry a Philippine girl. The Filipina girl is also expected to guard herself and to be very strong and do not surrender to temptations so she can be pure for her future husband. It is also because most Filipino men in the Philippines usually are not willing to marry a Filipina girl who is not pure anymore. Her family will also feel ashamed of her disgrace. That is why for Philippine girls, a relationship is taken very seriously and marriage is a lifetime commitment.

BOYF news letter No.9

Period pain

As much as this is important for women to know guys should be aware of this also. Why? You may ask? Because you may have to look after your or someone else’s daughter one day. Another reason may be that you just want to love your wife or girlfriend and knowing some simple keys will mean the difference between peace and suffering for her.

What is period pain?

Period pain is what a female may experience when she has her menstrual cycle. The pain can come before or during her menstrual cycle and the intensity can vary from person to person. The pain may be slight cramps or it can be so debilitating she may have to check into a hospital.

Does every woman experience period pain?

No, and they shouldn’t! Most women I speak with have a belief that period pain is a phenomenon that all women go through but this is far from the truth. Period pain is a symptom of your body being out of balance and not a natural part of the menstrual cycle. Women should not experience any pain at all with their period whether it is breast tenderness, low abdomen cramps or any other pain.

What actually happens every month?

The menstrual cycle is a shedding of the uterus wall and it should happen without pain. Every month a woman’s uterus creates a lining of blood vessels to prepare a home for the anticipated fertilized egg. If a woman becomes pregnant the egg will feed off the wall of blood until a developed baby has grown. If pregnancy does not occur the uterus will shred the lining and this is what is called your menstrual cycle or period. This process should be pain free but for a lot of women its not.

Why pain occurs.

In Chinese medicine we talk about liver Qi stagnation, cold in the lower Jiao, cold in the channels, blood deficiency and stagnation of blood. These are all terms that will be the reason why a woman will experience period pain. Simply put, if the blood or energy is not flowing freely around the uterus a women will experience pain.

The Liver organ is the main culprit

The Livers job is to smoothly circulate energy (Qi) and blood around the body. It is also responsible for the suppleness of muscle and tendons, lubricated eyes and the ability to see as well as preparing a fertile ground within the uterus for a baby to grow. When the Liver energy is out of balance we will experience liver Qi stagnation and blood stagnation. And this takes us to why a woman will experience period pain. Liver Qi stagnation is caused usually by stress, the liver becomes heated and aggravated by emotional turmoil and then the Liver Qi will stagnate giving the body pain. Qi stagnation will inturn stagnate blood flow and then a stabbing type pain will be felt. To rectify this problem you could have acupuncture, massage if the symptoms are not to bad and Chinese herbs.

Cold in the lower Jiao or channels

If you could imagine a lake flowing nicely just before the cold snap of winter and then all of a sudden it freezes. “Well”, this is something like what happens with the blood that circulates around the uterus when it’s invaded by cold or cold gets into the acupuncture channels. When cold invades the body your blood will stagnate and this will give you very severe cramping.

The above symptoms are the main reasons why a woman will experience period pain. Other reasons may be dampness, meaning there is a type of mouldy by product developed in your body due to digestive system weakness and this prevents the blood from circulating. And another reason may be endometriosis.

Period pain can be prevented and can be treated without going on the pill or any other chemical intervention. If you have cold the pain will be stabbing, for this drink ginger tea with a little honey. If there is a cramping sensation this is liver Qi stagnation and in this case do something relaxing like walking in the park and look at the green grass and trees. Green soothes the liver. Also meditation and yoga Nidra will help ease tension. The gym is not recommended it is stressful on the body and will only make the pain worse. And if you have blood stagnation you can do both. The warmth of the ginger will help move the blood and relaxation will help free up any Qi stagnation.

Many women experience tiredness and dizziness after their period and this is because of lack of blood and the body’s inability to replenish the blood lost after a period. This subject will be spoken more about in another BOYF news letter.

Until next time,

Take care.

Kind regards,

Scott Cansdell

Peter Finch asked:

No man is an island, and you as a smart, intelligent man do not relinquish the thought of spending the rest of your life alone in a lonely house. You do not know where to search for the other half of your life and this is where bride tours come in.

Joining bride tours particularly in the Philippines is just similar to going window shopping for a future bride. This is where hundreds of Filipina girls who come close to your interests, qualifications and preferences will be introduced to you during your stay.

You will be assisted by qualified staff who will see to it that you will meet as many as 2,000 beautiful Filipina women as many as who are smart, capable, interesting and alone, and who knows after your brief stay, you will meet someone who will make your life and your future complete.

First of all, you should check several bride tour operators because choosing a Filipina wife is a serious business. It is not just like picking up an appliance or any merchandise from the store and return it if things do not work out.

Some bride tours offer their services on a monthly fee which will give you access to addresses of Filipina women and all the other details. They also offer fiancee Visa Kit, complete with all forms for you and your prospective fiance to fill up if things get serious, helpful guides and resources to get you have a bird’s eye view of the culture of the country, hotel stays and meals, and guidance throughout your stay.

Expect yourself to be billeted at top, internationally-rated hotels with the comfort of modernization and superb meals. Bride tour operators will pamper you and whisk you off to activities and events where you will meet beautiful Filipina women. You can be assured that with bride tours, each woman on their list comes from a good background with a good reputation and are highly educated. You must know that these women are not bargirls or chancers just waiting for an opportunity to milk money from you, because bride tours screen their applicants meticulously.

During social events, you are free to talk to as many women as you like but you do not have to talk to anybody if you are not interested. You can be yourself and watch the women from the sidelines if you prefer it that way. If you meet a Filipina woman who catches your interest and would like to see her again, you can ask for her telephone number

Bride Tours also offers on-going advice and support regarding issues about fiancee Visas, return trips, relationship concerns, and others, and if you have not made a choice after one tour, you can join another tour soon. They usually come up with package prices for the whole tour, and clients are very comfortable with the budget.

Bride tours are legal in the Philippines but they are not promising you a marriage made in paradise. It is still up to you to make marriage with a Filipina bride work.

Gen Wright asked:

A wedding is the largest single event that will happen in a woman’s life, something that she will look back on for years to come and everything should be right, this also includes how the bridesmaid dresses are, they should compliment the bride not take over the wedding. You want your wedding perfect and for this you need the perfect bridesmaid dresses, in the perfect style to compliment your dress. However they need to have a style that will blend in with your dress, but defiantly not take over the wedding.

There are so many decisions to make with formal wear, the style must be one that will match the wedding dress to some degree while not blending into the background and color is an important factor, if the color is one that is a stand alone color that will make people notice the bridesmaids because of this color then attention is not on the bride where it should be, this is her day.

The brides gown should always be picked out first, and the rest of the dresses built around her dress this is her day and these dresses are there to compliment her, if her dress is filled with lace and beads then a bridesmaid dress might compliment her if it has simple beading, or if it is a lace filled dress then a bridesmaid dress with simple lace might be a nice compliment. You certainly do not want your bridesmaids dresses to fade in to the wall nor do you want them to show up your gown, so the dilemma is knowing how to pick the right gowns for the bridesmaids. This is made easy at an internet store like NextEve.com where there is all types of information and pictures for you to aid in the decisions you need to make from the comfort of home with no stress, because everyone knows that weddings are very stressful for the bride who is faced with many decisions to make her special day perfect. All the help you can get is welcomed and used to make correct choices, which are made easy with such a large selection.

Another common problem with bridesmaid dresses is that unless you have every friend that you ask to participate in your weeding as a bridesmaid the same size then you need to take this in to consideration so that the bridesmaids compliment you not have a total different look or a look that is not fitting for a woman that is small or large sized. This can present problems and create stress to the bride if not given the many choices and personal attention to sizing that you receive at Nexteve.com

Often a bride has an idea of what colors she wants in her wedding, including the bridesmaid dresses, and this is fine and depending on the color the style of the bridesmaid dresses is important for the wedding party to have a finished and polished appearance. If the colors of the weddings are light then almost any light color of dress will work for almost any style. However if the colors are darker, then style must be carefully picked so as not to blend the bridesmaids into the background and out of the wedding, it also is important for the fit of the dress on each of the bridesmaids, dark colors do not always look appropriate on every one.

At a store and manufacturer like NextEve.com you can find color swatches that you can use to decide what colors will look right with the style of dresses for the bridesmaids as this will reflect directly on the bride, her dress is the one that should draw all of the attention and while the bridesmaids roll is important in a wedding standing with the bride they bring attention to the bride with the proper color and style of gown. One more thing that you will find great about NextEve.com shopping is that their gowns while stylish, color and quality they are so reasonably priced that you will save money to use else where that you could not have done in a local wedding boutique.

There is such a large selection of bridesmaid gowns at NextEve.com that you can be certain you will find ones that will make the bridal gown stand out making your special day perfect and placing your friends and bridesmaids in gowns that will not only fit them perfectly but will also be the latest styles and the right fabric making everyone appropriately dressed for your big day. With the time you save and the prefect gowns you can find and order on this website you will be a very happy bride to be going on to all the other preparations there are to be seen to when planning your wedding day, with the knowledge that you will stand out among your beautifully dressed bridal party.
