There is no true way to make your current Internet speed faster. However, there are ways to optimize the bandwidth giving you an illusion of a faster and better pipe.

1. Caching. This is an effective way to somehow improve your Internet speed. Essentially, it stores recent and most frequently requested information. As a result, it prevents future requests. It also saves the time time it takes to load the page from the Internet. 
2. Opting for text only. This tip does not work if you are a power user. However, it does offer a great impact when browsing and e-mailing. Keep in mind that web pages with graphics can take a lot of time to load. Switching to text only eliminates the graphics, thereby, saving significant amount of time in loading up. 
3. Turning off other computers. Things will get better when other computers in the house are logged off. These computers are a competition for the bandwidth. Hence, decreasing the competition may boost the Internet speed of your computer. 
4. Killing background tasks. Apart from turning off other computers, you should also turn off background tasks running on your computers. Kill those applications you do not want running while trying to watch a video online. It would surely make a difference to your Internet connection. 

Proper make up brush set care is what you need to keep it last for many years. One of the best things that you can do is to clean the set on a regular basis. Here is a list of ways to help you wash your make up brush set:

• Soften the brush fibers first. To do this, you must run water over the bristles. 
• Use a baby shampoo or a hand wash shampoo. Making a light lather can do the trick. 
• Make a gentle circular motion between your fingers as you clean the bristles. 
• Repeat it for every brush that needs cleaning. 
• Use a paper towel to dry the bristles. 

I like reading quotes of love on Google Plus. Here are my top 10 favorites:

"Love is a cycle. When you love, you get hurt. When you get hurt, you hate. When you hate, you try to forget. When you try to forget, you start missing. And when you start missing, you'll eventually fall in love again."

"I couldn't say "I do" without you!"

"You may not have my eyes or smile but from that very first moment you had my heart."

"I have found the one whom my soul loves."

"A relationship without trust is like having a phone with no service. And what do you do with a phone with no service? You play games."

"I am a woman, a lady, a girl, a child, a baby rolled into one. A man who knows how to treat me like one, all at the same time deserves the best of me."

"Feelings are like waves. You cannot stop them from coming but you can decide which ones to surf."

"Wouldn't it be the perfect crime if I stole your heart and you stole mine?"

"Falling in love is like jumping off a really tall building, your brain tells you it is not a good idea, but your heart tells you that you can fly."

"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, relationship we are afraid to have, and the decisions we wanted too long to make."

Packing light is very essential when you go travel. A good traveler can be measured by how light he/she travels. But how are you going to pack light when you go travel?

• Use one bag only. You must only bring a carry-on-size bag that is 20 pounds heavy. Make sure that it fits under airplane seats or overhead bins. You may test yourself if you can go travel with just one bag by going into your hometown and being a tourist for an hour. You must pack up as if you are traveling somewhere. You must go window-shopping using that bag. If you cannot withstand it, thin things out when you go home. 
• Bring little. Regardless of the number of days, weeks or months you are going to travel, you must pack light.   You must bring very little and avoid packing for the worst case scenario. 
• Choose backpack or rolling bag. It really depends on which type of bag you are comfortable with. A convertible backpack/suitcase is an ideal choice if you want mobility. 
• Opt to bring less. Instead of bringing all your clothes stored in your closet, you must opt to bring less and choose to wash more often. Do select clothes that do not wrinkle or that look good wrinkled. 

If only you could always bring a laptop and let Google translate help you avoid embarrassing yourself when you go travel in a foreign land, then you would not have a problem communicating with a foreigner. But this is not feasible. Thankfully, there are ways to stave off the awkwardness even if you do not take your iPad with you and use Google translate each time you talk to someone, say in Tagalog or in French.

• Familiarize the five important phrases. When you go travel to a foreign land for a vacation, you must first learn key phrases that can help you communicate with the locals. These phrases will include the following: 
1. Excuse me. (Pardon or  Excusez-moi in French) (Ipagpaumanhin in Tagalog)
2. Do you speak English? (Parlez-vous anglais?) (Nakakapagsalita po ba kayo sa Ingles?)
3. How much does this cost? (Combien ca coute?) (Magkano to?)

There are other phrases that you should learn that can assist you to easily communicate with the locals without the help of Google  translate.

• Learn how to pronounce those phrases. Mispronouncing them can be prevented if you have been practicing saying them before you embark on your journey. Google translate has its own audio pronunciation tool that allows you to hear the proper way to say those phrases. 
• Ask the assistance of the hotel staff. Most of the time, desk clerk at your hotel speaks multiple languages. And yes, they will be happy to assist you with it. 

In my last post, I talked about the things that you should avoid when staying in a grand hotel while you go travel. Today, I will discuss about some of the do's, which are provided by experts, that you can do to make your stay as memorable as possible.

1. Do tell your room preference when making a reservation. If you want double bed, pool view and other things you demand, then you should tell it to the staff during your reservation and not after you have arrived. Be very specific when making a grand hotel room reservation. It could be a hassle for the hotel staff if you only make your demands after you have arrived. 
2. Do demand for free Internet and water. If the hotel you are staying has WiFi connection, then you must ask for it. 
3. Do use the double and the latch all the time. This is to avoid unauthorized access to your room. 
4. Do tip the housekeeper and bellman with a reasonable amount. You can give the housekeeper $5 a day but not less than that. 
5. Do ask for 2 wake-up calls. This is especially important if you have an urgent meeting tomorrow and you cannot afford to be late. Wake-up calls may also save your life if you have a certain disease that puts you at risk of experiencing coma.
