My sister’s buddy called me this morning. To be exact, my sweet dream was interrupted by my sister’s buddy. Why couldn’t she call me in the afternoon?

Apparently, she would like me to get the information for North Padre Island rentals for her. She and her family are planning for a vacation now.

She hopes that I can find her the best deal for the island rental vacation since I am constantly on the lookout for travel hot deals.

Well, well, she is my sister’s best buddy. I must help her this time.

Previously, I shared with you that once my Novel House starts rolling, I will get some magnetic car signs to promote my new business, right ?

Today, I bumped into this fantastic site, Axis Flyers, while I was blog hopping . It was mentioned by a blogger, so I followed the link given.

Axis Flyers is a flyer printing company offering full color business and entertainment event business flyers. I am so thrilled that I can actually use my own design for my flyers. Having eye-catching, polished looking flyers is one of the best ways to get people to notice.

I am surprised to find that I can order business cards and flyers on recycled paper ! Wow.. definitely, I will do my part to save trees by ordering Earth Friendly Flyers.

I am going to distribute the flyers to all my friends in Kuala Lumpur so that more people will look for my Novel House when they have their vacation in Cameron Highlands.

In case you are new to my blog, let me tell you here. I live in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands is one of the wonders of Malaysia, being the largest and most famous hill resort in the country.
