Tutorials on Choosing a Web Host
2008-05-16 12:30:17
For some time now, I have been thinking of moving this blog to my own domain. Having one’s own domain is like having your own house, gaining independence, striving on your own. I am sure many bloggers out there (you know who you are) feel the same way. However, as much as this option offers advantages, it also offers risks to me. I have zero knowledge of the process involved in transferring

Online Dating Sites
2008-05-16 11:17:27
The modern consumer is faced with a barrage of choices everyday. With every product seeking to get one’s attention, it is a tedious and times exhausting task just to go through the list of choices. The dating scene is similarly wearying (though this can be a more welcome activity than shopping if I may say so). Choosing a partner either for friendship, companionship or good old romance is an

Barcode and Point of Sale Efficiency
2008-05-17 01:37:36
Do you remember dreading the long queues at the supermarket checkout many years ago? Those were the days when every item's price tag had to be manually checked and entered on the cash register, making the whole process slow and tedious. I used to hate going to the market with my mom because of this. Fortunately, those days are gone. Technology has sped up this dreaded chore with the

Telephone Disturbance
2008-05-19 21:58:55
The telephone can be a modern-day nuisance sometimes. Sure, it is a valuable information tool that continues to help us communicate globally. But it can be used to our disadvantage sometimes. On several occasions last week, my afternoon nap was rudely interrupted by unsolicited nuisance calls from telemarketers, each persistently trying to convince me to avail of a club membership, "free&q


Lesson Learned
2008-05-19 21:08:53
Never again! That's what I told myself after a serious case of bed bugs last year. We were on a road trip out of town and, feeling the need to scrimp on expenses, stayed at a rather cheap hotel overnight. That was a big mistake we realized the next morning when some of us started itching. We first thought it was just an allergy but, upon inspection, found red bug bites in our bodies. There

Madonna: Still Hot at 50
2008-05-20 07:35:06
This is my favorite video at the the moment, and I'm a super fan of the song too. Though I've heard on the radio a couple of times it was not until I saw the complete video on MTV that I was hooked. You will always find me grooving to the tune at every chance I get. In fact, it's on right now. Madonna is almost 50 (she was born August 16, 1958) but she's still as hot as ever! If you like

David Cook is the new American Idol!
2008-05-23 04:54:12
America has voted, and the people disagreed with Simon Cowell. Despite the judge's assertion on Tuesday's American Idol that David Archuleta delivered a "knockout" to David Cook, viewers didn't see it that way. A record 97.5 million votes flooded in, handing David Cook the title by a hearty 12 million calls and texts. It was he who delivered the knockout punch! After being compared t

Ready for the 2008 Black Friday Sale?
2008-05-24 03:23:42
The balikbayan box has been a Pinoy tradition for as long as I can remember. It usually contains food and clothes from Filipinos living in the United States and sent home to waiting relatives in the Philippines eager to partake in this regular gift giving. However, with the current economic crisis in the US, this tradition is likely to vanish, or at least hibernate until the economic crisis is

Home Improvements
2008-05-23 22:03:45
Architecture is one of my biggest frustrations. I should have taken that course in college instead to the management engineering course I was forced (?) to take. As far as I can remember, house designs and interiors have always fascinated me. I would always look for photos of grand mansions and luxurious interiors in Mom's magazines and fantasized that I lived in them. Or I would take a fancy

Another 'Pinoy Pride' Moment

I know American Idol season 7 is over and much have been said and written about it, but please allow me to squeeze this in. Renaldo Lapuz. I had almost forgotten about him. He who was the 'sensation' of the eliminations, the pride of Pinoy s. He who made many Filipinos squirm in embarrassment at first upon seeing his antics broadcast worldwide. He who composed and sang that ridiculously

The Best ISP Deals

It happened again last night. Just as I was about to post my entry to my blog the internet connection was cut off. I was speechless. Did I post it in time? Was my entry saved or is it lost in cyberspace limbo? Why does this always happen to me? So many unanswered questions littered my head. But I knew they would only be answered once the connection returns. Unfortunately, it turned out to

Blogging has changed my life. It has provided me with an outlet for my thoughts and ideas, my reactions to various issues currently pervading, and it has built my confidence through writing.

Are you looking for a solution to bad breath? Listen to this. Magnolia bark extract - a traditional Chinese medicine - may be the newest weapon in the war on bad breath. Chewing gum maker Wrigley has added a bit of this germ-killing compound to their Eclipse gum and mints. The hope is to not simply mask bad breath, as most strongly flavored mints and gums do, but to kill odor-causing bacteria.

Are you starting a new business, having a yard sale or do you just have something to say and need a sign for it? i have often wondered where to get personalized signs for my use. Nothing fancy. Sometimes just simple "Keep off the Grass" or "Beware of Dog" signs to put around the house. However, I don't like the ordinary signs one can buy at a hardware or bookstore. I want

The following is a review of the said handset, collated from various online review sites. The Motorola Z9 is a large handset.

Criminal Lawyers
2008-05-29 20:36:35
We always desire to have the best of everything, the best that our money can buy. Be it in cars, houses, electronics, clothes and any other item that we can our hands on. Part of human nature, I guess. But these are merely material possessions that will disappear or fade away in time. The same value we bestow on material things should also be applied to others aspects of our life that are

Parents of the Year
2008-05-29 19:51:38
While some fathers and mothers (or both) are hailed as the best parents a child can have, a German couple surely won't qualify for such a title. Authorities in southern Germany have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one Euro, or the equivalent of $1.57. The baby was temporarily placed in the care of youth services pending further

Getting Rid of Fire Ants
2008-05-29 00:59:54
The sting of a fire ant may be one of the most painful of any insect, a sensation similar to what one feels when burned by fire — hence the name fire ant. I should know for I have been bitten more than once while walking through our extended garden. I accidentally stepped on their mound while I was busy talking on my mobile phone one early evening and, before I knew it, they were on attack
