Living Life As Me.

Saw this article on my friend's Facebook page.

(http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/142366)

It's always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself.

Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL to the picture is (the actual photo, not the page on which the photo resides), and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.

Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University (so you know this is legit, people!) have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.

Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.

In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time." Though obviously that time can vary considerably.

Of course, once a photo escapes from the walled garden of a social network like Facebook, the chances of deleting it permanently fall even further. Google's caching system is remarkably efficient at archiving copies of web content, long after it's removed from the web. Anyone who's ever used Google Image Search can likely tell you a story about clicking on a thumbnail image, only to find that the image has been deleted from the website in question -- yet the thumbnail remains on Google for months. And then there are services like the Wayback Machine, which copy entire websites for posterity, archiving data and pictures forever.

The lesson: Those drunken party photos you don't want people to see? Simply don't upload them to the web, ever, because trying to delete them after you sober up is a tough proposition.

Personality.

2009-04-26T21:05:00.001+08:00

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education:

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

I found this photo on my friend's Facebook page.

I can't wait for breakfast. Haha!

Work From Home Data Entry.

2009-03-27T04:15:00.004+08:00

As you know, we nurses here in the Philippines have low salary. And because of this, I NEED another job. My solution: any work from data entry jobs. Since finding this kind of work over the internet is hard, I am offering myself to anyone who would want me to encode anything for them. Prices are negotiable and I am willing to spend around two to four hours a day working on a project. My typing capacity is around 55-60 WPM.

To anyone who's interested, please leave me a message.

Thank you.

Chris.

2009-03-24T17:26:00.008+08:00

I got over my Dashboard Confessional phase. I don't listen to their music as much as I used to. But I miss Chris. And I just have to say that I'm still in love with Chris Carrabba.

Dragostea Din Tei.

2009-03-07T11:34:00.003+08:00

T.I. and Rihanna have a song which features the song Dragostea Din Tei by the Moldovan Pop Group O-Zone.

I love it!

Beaute de Maman.

2009-03-03T14:04:00.006+08:00

You were born beautiful. That's great. And even if people around you say that Beauty is only skin deep, we have to face the reality that beautiful people get more attention. That's why we look for skin care products that are effective, fast-acting, and hypoallergenic.

It's hard to maintain perfect skin, but it takes more effort for a hormonal and pregnant woman to look good. Good thing there's Beaute de Maman. Beaute de Maman is a unique line of health and beauty products developed by a board-certified obstetrician to treat problems specifically related to the physiological and hormonal changes experienced by women during pregnancy. It is safe for both mother and fetus because it uses only natural and herbal ingredients, which is the number one priority. Beaute de Maman is tested to provide safe and effective remedies for the common problems women face in pregnancy.

It really works. Actors such as Chyler Leigh and Penelope Ann Miller both used Beaute de Maman products. Look how gorgeous they are.

They are beautiful. They have to be in their line of work. They trusted Beaute de Maman and I don't see any reason why other people shouldn't.

So if you want to have skin that has no impurities, only perfection, you should order now so you can achieve beauty like Chyler and Penelope.

Bette Davis Eyes.

2009-03-03T13:52:00.006+08:00

I am not a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow. Yes, she's pretty and all but I don't find her sexy. But when I saw this video of her singing Bette Davis Eyes, I was impressed.

I think this clip is taken from the movie Duets, which I still haven't seen. Hopefully I can find the time to watch it soon.

Here's the original version of the song.

Shop All.

2009-03-02T18:35:00.006+08:00

A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites. WIKI is something we can trust.

Best of all, you are given everything and not just the sites that have paid for placement. It also gives all sellers equal chances of becoming great entrepreneurs.

So if you want to buy something, Shopwiki is the place for you. It truly is the online shopping Mecca.

Nine Words.

2009-02-15T19:43:00.001+08:00

(1) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh : This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'. that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever : Is a woman's way of saying F- - - YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

In These Arms.

2009-02-04T21:34:00.006+08:00

I don't know why some people don't like Bon Jovi but they're a great band. Their song You Give Love A Bad Name has even been featured in Barney's Get Psyched CD. And now, I fell in love with their song from 1994.

Barack Roll.

I don't really know how he thought of all these but kudos to the person who created this clip. This video is really funny!

Here's U.S. President Barack Obama singing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

My Name.

2009-01-21T18:00:00.000+08:00

You Are Level-Headed and Trustworthy

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.

You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries.

You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.

You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun.

Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

I'm currently in a Glam Rock/Rock Ballad trance and I'm enjoying songs such as this:

Then I remembered that Mariah had the same version of this song.

I love the Glam era.

Prince Caspian.

2008-12-08T02:19:00.010+08:00

I've just finished watching The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, a movie I downloaded a week ago, and I must say I am a fan. I loved the first, loved this one, and now I can't wait for the third. According to various fansites, production will begin this January 2009.

So apparently, The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels published during the 1950s.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
The Silver Chair (1953)
The Horse and His Boy (1954)
The Magician's Nephew (1955)
The Last Battle (1956)

I hope I find the time to read them all. And since I've seen the two movies, it wouldn't be hard to imagine how everything and everyone would look like, especially Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes).

Cute, I thought. He looks like he's such a sweet guy. A pretty boy. But this photo is so much better.

Ben Barnes + Cigarettes = HOT.

C'elle.

2008-12-01T01:51:00.006+08:00

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

Present researches show that umbilical, placental and other adult stem cells include the successful treatment of Alzheimer's, Autism, Autoimmune diseases, Cancer, Burns, Immunodeficiencies, Arthritis, and other chronic diseases.

And now an exclusive and revolutionary service, C'elle can provide women with the unique opportunity to collect and preserve vital stem cells that can be harvested from the body's menstrual fluid during the menstrual cycle. Until now, menstrual blood has typically been discarded as unsanitary waste. However, exciting new research shows that menstrual fluid contains self-renewing stem cells that can be easily collected, processed and cryo-preserved for potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future. The C'elle menstrual stem cell comes from the uterine lining (endometrium) that is shed as part of a woman’s menstrual period. These menstrual stem cells are unique because they have many properties and characteristics similar to both bone marrow and embryonic stem cells; they multiply rapidly and can differentiate into many other types of stem cells such as neural, cardiac, bone, fat, cartilage and possibly others; demonstrating great promise for future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies. Preliminary research suggests that in addition to potential use by the donor, these stem cells may possibly be used as well to benefit other family members who are genetically related to the donor, such as perhaps a parent, sibling or child.

Watch the C'elle Client Testimonial and participate in the research that could change the world for the better. Remember, it's not just about the Science, it's also about you trying to save a human life. And who knows? the life you save might be that of someone you love.

There Was A Man Of Double Deed.

2008-12-01T01:34:00.003+08:00

This is one creepy nursery rhyme.

There was a man of double deed,
Who sowed his garden full of seed;
When the seed began to grow,
'Twas like a garden full of snow;
When the snow began to melt,
'Twas like a ship without a belt;
When the ship began to sail,
'Twas like a bird without a tail;
When the bird began to fly,
'Twas like an eagle in the sky;
When the sky began to roar,
'Twas like a lion at my door;
When my door began to crack,
'Twas like a stick across my back;
When my back began to smart,
'Twas like a penknife in my heart;
And when my heart began to bleed,
'Twas death, and death, and death indeed.

The version recited by Jamie in the latest One Tree Hill episode goes a bit different...

A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds,
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It’s like a garden full of snow.
And when the snow begins to fall,
It’s like a bird upon the wall,
And when the bird away does fly,
It’s like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky begins to roar,
It’s like a lion at the door.
And when the door begins to crack,
It’s like a stick across your back,
And when your back begins to smart,
It’s like a penknife in your heart,
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead indeed.

But still creepy nonetheless. I think it's included in the 19th Century Anthologies of Nursery Rhymes. But who would read this to a child? I know I wouldn't.

Popular.

2008-11-01T22:17:00.004+08:00

Wentworth Miller once appeared as a guest star on the TV show Popular. He plays a blackmailing gay "Manazon" in charge of a cheering squad.

Nice. Although, I was waiting for him to dance.

President.

2008-10-27T20:46:00.005+08:00

I don't care much about politics. I don't vote. Hell, I'm not even from America. But this is something I must say just to get it out of my system.

I HATE John McCain.

I think he'll do everything to win this election. If he's willing to do these things to get the presidential seat, imagine what he'll do when he wins. He'll probably put an end to America. United will become divided.

I LOVE Barack Obama. And I hope he wins.

Panamanian Condo Hotel.

2008-10-27T19:28:00.007+08:00

The Republic of Panama or simply Panama, an international business center and a transit country, is the southernmost country of Central America. It is located in the middle of Costa Rica, Columbia, the Carribean Sea, and the Pacific Ocean.

A city in Panama called Casco Antiguo founded in 1673, is now one of the world's most beautiful historical places. It has a range of sophisticated hotels which was cropped up within a span of few years. And now, you can own your very own hotel condominium.

Panama City's oldest continuously operating hotel is about to become its most exciting urban destination. With its Andalusian details, modern amenities, and a prime location at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, Hotel Casco Antiguo will cater to sophisticated travelers who seek the kind of charm, vibrancy and style that mainstream hotels can never deliver.

Upon its completion, the restored Hotel Casco Antiguo will be a condominium-hotel with 34 rooms and a full complement of amenities. A first in Panama, guests and owners will have access to the inaccessible through in-house concierge services provided by Quintessentially, the world's leading luxury lifestyle group.

It's a great place to live and invest so register for an eBrochure here to learn more about this place. You wouldn't want to miss out on a great investment such as this. It happened to Macau and Dubai, and now, it's happening to Panama.

Camp Rock.

2008-10-26T18:49:00.006+08:00

I've been hearing this song a lot this past week. It's a song from the movie Camp Rock which stars the Jonas Brothers. I know I'm not a fan of this kind of music but it's catchy. Plus, I always see the music video playing on the Disney Channel.

And I don't mean to sound creepy but I think Joe Jonas is cute.

I don't know what's happening to me. Next thing you know I'm watching the movie. Jeez!

Squint For Me.

2008-10-26T14:20:00.011+08:00

There are three reasons why I still watch One Tree Hill:

1. Nathan Scott is hot.
2. Little Jamie is so cute.
3. I want to know how it ends.

I used to be a fan. I used to wait for it to come out every week and see what happens next. But then Lucas becomes a womanizing jerk and I think I got fed up with all the Lucas drama. Peyton, Brooke, Lindsey, who else? I lost track of all his women.

But to be fair, I don't think the writers have nothing good left in them. I actually enjoyed this week's episode.

The Cure's music is depressing and whiny. And if it could squint it'd be Lucas Scott.

I paraphrased but it's totally right on. I think Lucas is hot but all he does is squint, squint, squint! It's annoying. Take off your shirt already.

The Code, Published.

2008-10-25T22:34:00.005+08:00

The creators of the hit sitcom, How I Met Your Mother finally published "The Bro Code".

--Lily A.

"You'll howl... with delight!"
--Stephen King

"Stinson uses language like a scalpel, digging though our deepest emotional tissue to expose the very core of the human psyche."
--Mike Tyson

"Finally! A book worth reading!"
--God

"Stinson beat me to it."
--J.D. Salinger

"Jefferson's out, Stinson's in!"
--Rachel M. (President - Mount Rushmore National Preservation Society)

"An entertaining beach read."

"I'm sorry what?"
--Maya Angelou

"I have a hundred words for 'snowflake' but only one word for 'The Bro Code,' - awesome!"
--Some Eskimo maybe

"This book makes me want to rethink my career."
--Mark (the dude who wrote the Gospel)

iLASIK Information.

2008-10-03T20:12:00.008+08:00

Both NASA and the US Military have been using laser vision correction technologies or LASIK to increase the performance of their mission-critical personnel. This procedure which has been used by thousands and thousands of civilians in the past five years, has now been developed by the Department of Defense and NASA to help improve the vision of specialized personnel facing extreme, physically demanding conditions.

This procedure utilizes the latest in LASIK technology. It uses two lasers instead of one, as in earlier versions of the procedure. The first stage of iLASIK uses wave-front technology to map the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes. Then, an ultra fast, computer-guided laser creates a corneal flap. This laser replaces the handheld microkeratome blade used in older forms of LASIK and makes the procedure exceptionally safe. After the flap is created, the wave-front mapping data guides a second laser for vision correction. The combination of these advanced laser technologies creates a custom-fit procedure clinically proven to provide excellent safety and visual results.

This LASIK information is good news for those people who are having eyesight problems yet hate to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. I know these people would agree when I say that wearing contact lenses is too much hassle. You put it on your eyes, it makes you cry, then you have to remove it at the end of the day and clean it before you can even go to sleep. Not to mention you have to go to your eye doctor to have your eyes checked regularly to make sure you're wearing the correct prescription lenses.

I know I'm just a blogger so don't take my word for it. As I've said earlier, the US Military, NASA, and the US Department of Defense are all using it.

According to Steven Schallhorn, M.D., a retired U.S. Navy captain and leader of clinical research and studies done for the DOD regarding the use of LASIK:

"The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness."

Some notable results of the military’s evaluation of modern LASIK in 100 military personnel showed that 95% achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision or better. When asked, 100% of naval aviators having undergone the procedure would recommend the surgery to other naval aviators.

Everyone wants to have perfect vision and right now, based on what I have read, I can conclude that iLASIK is the best way to correct vision problems.

Triplets.

2008-09-22T19:51:00.006+08:00

I was just staring into nothingness when the movie Blades of Glory came to mind. So while I was doing my movie trivia reading, I came across Chazz's first skating song. This is The Stroke by Billy Squier.

Then I saw something interesting. Billy Squier looks like Mika!

Then I realized that they both look like Will Ferrell. Or at least Chazz Michael Michaels.

Grey's Anatomy - The Chief's Hair.

Great American Seafood Cook-Off.

2008-09-11T01:10:00.001+08:00

Seafood is one of the best tasting food there is. It's fresh, it's easy to get, and it's healthy.

This year's Great American Seafood Cook-Off to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana has five finalists:

Chef Paul Anders of Colorado with his Colorado Striped Bass Panzanella

Chef Tafari Campbell of Maryland with his Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots

Chef John Currence of Mississippi with his Mississippi Redfish Courtboullion with Seafood Dirty Rice

Chef Mark Holley of Texas with his Texas Gulf Shrimp

Chef Brian Landry of Louisiana with his Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet

And out of the five dishes in the cook off, Chef Brian Landry's is the recipe I found most enticing.

Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into ¼ inch pieces, (other smoked sausage or bacon can be substituted)
1 each sweet onion, diced
4 each celery stalks, diced
4 each garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon creole seasoning separated
1 teaspoon dry oregano
5 each whole peeled canned roma tomatoes (approx. 1 - 15 oz can)
5 each whole peeled fresh roma tomatoes
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 - 15 oz cans white kidney/cannellini beans (other white beans can be substituted)
2 bottles Michelob Amber beer
4 pounds fresh Louisiana head-on shrimp,
16-20 count
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3 cups breadcrumbs, panko if possible
1 ½ cups ground parmesan
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

It looks delicious, and the ingredients are not hard to find. I'm going to try and make this this month because it's my mom and grandma's birthday month. And I wouldn't dare try changing the recipe because it's perfect the way it is.

A Thousand Miles.

2008-08-30T16:24:00.007+08:00

I love listening to foreign bands, and I am so in love with the Romanian group Vanilla Sky. Since they're foreign, I didn't think a lot of people from my country have heard about them. So imagine my surprise when I heard my neighbors playing their song, A Thousand Miles.

I like being unique. And now that they know about this song, who knows what they're gonna discover next?

Do you like to flirt? Do you want to achieve the Victory Hair? Then make sure you do not commit the same mistakes these guys did.

HE: Can I buy you a drink?
SHE: Actually I'd rather have the money.

HE : I'm a photographer. I've been looking for a face like yours.
SHE: I'm a plastic surgeon. I've been looking for a face like yours.

HE: Hi. Didn't we go on a date once? Or was it twice?
SHE: Must've been once. I never make the same mistake twice.

HE : How did you get to be so beautiful?
SHE: I must've been given your share.

HE: Your face must turn a few heads.
SHE: And your face must turn a few stomachs.

HE: Go on, don't be shy. Ask me out.
SHE: Okay, get out.

"You are the only person that can make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time." - The Hot Chick

"I would rather spend one lifetime with you - than face all the ages of this world alone." - Lord of the Rings

If someone walks up to you and says these things, do you think you two could hit it off? Or how would you react if you hear your significant other confide to one of your common friends and says something like this:

"I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it." - The City of Angels

These lines might sound corny but the truth is, we want to hear these words from the people we love. Why else would we enjoy these kinds of movies if they don't make us feel good? They make movies like these to show us that sometimes, we should take a chance, try something new. And that's why the game Extreme Style by VO5 Ultimate Flirting Championship was created.

It's a place where you can try these lines out and see if someone is ready to take a chance with you. Who knows? You might come out with your Victory Hair like I did.

Numerology.

2008-08-10T12:20:00.002+08:00

Found this site which utilizes numerology to describe your personality based on your name. Here's what the site said about me.

Your number is: 7

The characteristics of #7 are: Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating.

The expression or destiny for #7:
Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding. You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well. The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.

If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.

Your Soul Urge number is: 3

A Soul Urge number of 3 means:
With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.

The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn't appreciate having these pointed out.

Your Inner Dream number is: 4

An Inner Dream number of 4 means:
You dream of being a very solid citizen that people can depend upon. You strive for organization and predictable order. You want to be recognized as a person with a plan and the discipline to make that plan work like clockwork.

Finally! Full Time Carpal Tunnel Relief.

2008-08-09T16:16:00.005+08:00

Do your hands feel numb? Or maybe you feel a burning and tingling sensation in your fingers (especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers)? Then you might have a condition called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain, weakness, and numbness on the forearm and the hand.

There is no known cause for this condition although it is somewhat attributed to excessive hand use or activity. So if you're one of those people who rely on their hands too much to make a living, or if you're a blogger who loves to spend long hours in front of the computer blogging about life, events, or whatever, then you're at risk!

There has been much discussion as to the most effective treatment for CTS. CTS is a problem that is challenging to treat from a doctor's perspective. Starting therapy early is associated with improved long-term results. But why wait to have the condition when we can all prevent it. They say that prevention is better than cure and I agree. Good thing there's IMAK: The Pain Relief Innovators.

They made special products to provide us not only with Carpal Tunnel relief but also a way to prevent it from occuring in the first place. They have the following products:

SmartGlove
SmartGlove with Thumb
SmartGlovePM
Wrist Wrap
Computer Glove
Wrist Cushion for Keyboard
Non-Skid Wrist Cushion for Keyboard
Wrist Cushion for Mouse
Non-Skid Wrist Cushion for Mouse
Non-Skid Mousing Combo

These products are all explicitly designed to improve comfort and safety. By buying these products, you're not only protecting yourself from future injuries but you're also saving yourself from the cost of the treatments. So why cure when you can prevent?

Hell.

2008-07-05T22:25:00.004+08:00

Got this from a friend's Multiply blog entry.

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, and via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a Divine Being which explains why last night, Teresa kept shouting, "Oh My God".

This student received an A+.

Hometown Hiding.

2008-06-04T21:07:00.005+08:00

If I wanted to start my life over, I'd probably choose to live in the city that never sleeps, New York. I love the Yankees, I love the parties, and I love the sights. Plus, it's full of interesting people and places: The Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, and I've heard that they have this great hotdog place called Gray's Papaya.

I think I'd still be a nurse even if I'm in this unfamiliar city. I can't think of anything else I want to be other than a nurse. Although I'd probably go by a different name. If given a choice, I'll change my last name to Ledesma.

Both the name changing and the starting over are great. But I can't imagine living without my family and friends.

Hidden In Plain Sight.

2008-06-02T17:58:00.008+08:00

USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight is a dramedy that follows Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack), a U.S. Marshall who works in the Witness Protection Program keeping Federal witnesses safe. Alongside her partner, Marshall Mann (Fred Weller), Mary has to keep tabs on her witnesses and help them adjust to the program as they prepare to testify. The witnesses range from violent criminals to innocent people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In order to keep up with the theme of the TV show, I've decided to play a little game with the readers of this blog. Hidden In Plain Sight is a picture of Mary Shannon. Help me find her.

In Plain Sight premieres on National American TV June 1st.

This actually means Immortal Phoenix. I chose this name because the Phoenix is one of the most legendary animals ever and I love how it signifies both hope and power. It is said that the Phoenix lives for a hugely long time before dying by fire, then rising again from it's own ashes.

Peculiar Personas.

2008-06-01T20:40:00.004+08:00

Which In Plain Sight TV show character am I like? I can honestly say that I see a little of myself in Marshall Mann's character. He's focused on his career but still manages to have a well-balanced life. He knows a little bit of everything and he makes sure he's still intellectually challenged by simple events that happen to him everyday.

He also has this great partner, which I also have. Although Marshall and his partner have different personalities, they get along very well, and both have other people's best interests at heart. They take care of each other very well and although no one has said anything, they know in their hearts that one will always be there to support the other.

USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight premieres this Sunday, June 1st.

Season Finale.

2008-05-21T17:54:00.006+08:00

It's the time of the year I've always hated. It's the week of season finales.

First Season Finale Watched: Gossip Girl

Although Dan and Serena broke up, I loved how it all ended. Blair, everybody's favorite socialite, is back reclaiming the "Biggest bitch in town" throne from Georgina. Chuck makes peace with his best friend Nate, and also returns to being the well-known womanizer/jerk, Chuck Bass.

Second Season Finale Watched: House

It's actually a two-episode finale for House. The first part is "House's Head" and the second part is "Wilson's Heart".

House's Head. House was involved in an accident and was struggling to remember what happened in the four hours he lost. After undergoing hypnosis, overdosing on an Alzheimer drug, and saving a bus driver's life, he managed to remember something. Amber, the cut-throat bitch, was in the accident with him.

Wilson's Heart. After finding Amber in a not-so-good condition, House, who's still having a hard time remembering everything that happened on the lost four hours of his life, tries to diagnose her with the help of his annoying subordinates. Wilson was able to talk House into sacrificing his own life in exchange for Amber's, by having electrical currents pass through a drilled hole on his cracked skull to his brain. House agreed and underwent the dangerous procedure. He was able to remember everything and was able to diagnose Amber. Although they knew what's wrong with Amber, there's no cure for it and the cut-throat bitch died.

After watching these shows, I was giddy like a hyperactive toddler.Laughing out loud at witty remarks and cursing whenever I see Georgina's face. Then felt like a teenage drama queen, crying so hard because it was the end of Amber and Wilson's love story.

I must admit, it's a bit too bipolar-ish of me. Or maybe I'm just too affected because I won't be able to watch these shows next week.

Courtroom Drama.

2008-05-18T14:24:00.004+08:00

I've received this email before but couldn't find it anywhere. Luckily, my friend posted this on her Multiply account.

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Death Note.

2008-05-18T12:53:00.004+08:00

I can't believe that they're now showing the Death Note movie in theatres. I've seen the animé and I can't wait for the movie. It's showing in select theatres for two nights only.

The movie is about Yagami Light, a bright student, who finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by Ryuk, a Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies and Light's mission is to rid the world of all evil. But when criminals begin to die inexplicably, the authorities call upon L, the legendary detective to solve the mystery. L, being a great detective, is soon hot on the trail of Light. Both of them thinks that they're on the side of justice so they both use intellectual strategies to prove which one of them is "good" and who's "evil".

Catch this awesome movie only on theatres this May 20 and 21.

It's official! It's David vs. David on the American Idol 7 Finale.

It's a battle between the two Davids. Archuleta and Cook are my two favorites and I couldn't ask for anything more from American Idol.

I must admit that I didn't enjoy last year's season. In fact, I didn't know any of the Idols last year. But I did enjoy almost all of the performances from this season. I was happy that there's a new rocker in town David Cook, and of course the ever so loveable David Archuleta, a savant balladeer.

I'm so excited to see the finale that I'm thinking of calling in sick. But, I can always watch the replay. I have a week to figure out what I'm gonna do next Thursday. Ideas, anyone?

SocialSpark.

But after exploring and finding a lot of good recommendations from fellow bloggers, I have decided to join these sites.

There's this new pay you to blog site called SocialSpark and I've just signed up with them. So far, I haven't been disappointed.

Charice Pempengco on Oprah.

2008-05-13T19:57:00.004+08:00

Check it out!

Amazing, isn't it?

Did you hear her say "na" while talking to Oprah? Or did she say "now"? I'm not quite sure but who cares? You know you've proven yourself to the world once Oprah invites you to make an appearance on her TV show.

I'm wishing Charice more success, although I'm not quite sure if she can star on the new High School Musical movie with her accent. But still, she's making her mother country proud!

The Godfather.

2008-05-12T19:52:00.006+08:00

I watched The Godfather again today and I remembered how it rocked. Honestly, I think this movie is one of the greatest movies of all time!

It reminded me of how I've always wanted to be a member of the mafia. There was this time when my friend and I used to meet up at around 5am to jog around the park near the NGI wet market and were thinking of organizing our very own Cosa Nostra. But of course, we didn't have the resources and we didn't want any trouble.

Anyways back to the movie, here's what I thought of the actors:

Al Pacino = simply awesome
Marlon Brando = greatest "Don" actor of all time
Robert Duvall = still looks the same after all these years
James Caan = looked good in the movie except for his super hairy shoulders

I did my research and saw that Abe Vigoda was also in this movie. Abe Vigoda's character is Sal Tessio, the person who planned on handing Michael Corleone over to Barzini. Abe also appears occasionally in the Late Night with Conan O'Brien TV show and has his own website and I think they made this website to tell the whole world that Abe's still alive. Funny, really. They even have this Premortem Mix recorded. If you don't remember what he looks like, here's his picture:

Hopefully, you know him now. But if you still don't, nobody would care. I just kinda feel bad for him because he's always being made fun of. At least he played an important role in the movie.

For Mama.

2008-05-11T21:33:00.005+08:00

Happy Mother's Day!

Thanks for watching the Desperate Housewives marathon on Star World with me today. I really hope we can do this more often.

Be Very Afraid.

2008-05-10T14:09:00.005+08:00

A lot of people might agree when I say they don't make scary movies like before. Remembering the classics The Exorcist, A Nighmare on Elm Street, Friday, the 13th, and The Shining, I can't help but feel disappointed when I watch I-claim-to-be-scary movies.

I saw the movie trailer of Frontier(s) and I must say that I can't wait to see this one. After watching the trailer, I thought to myself that this is how a scary movie should be. I did my research and found out that after it got an NC-17 rating for "extreme sadistic gore and violence", they were forced to choose if they would want to cut it down to have an 'R' rating or keep it uncut and not show it in movie theatres around the world. They chose to keep the movie pure and now they have only a limited time to show them in select theatres. So you should go to the Frontier(s) site and check the select theater listings to find out if it's coming to a theatre near you.

The Bloody Disgusting website said that it "... will be remembered forever as one of the greatest genre films of all time." So if you love genuine scary flicks, then Frontier(s) is a movie for you.

Opportunity Lost.

2008-05-09T21:12:00.003+08:00

I am a member of the pay-you-to-blog site SocialSpark and I was really disappointed because I couldn't complete the first opportunity they gave me. It was a post about this scary movie and I was excited to write about it (being a movie buff and all). Unfortunately, I had no time.

I usually get up at around 5am to make it to my 6-2 shift in the hospital. So when I woke up this morning, I found an email sent to me at around 1am stating that I have 12 hours to complete the post or else I forfeit my slot. So there I was, getting ready for work and thinking of what to write at the same time. As you might have guessed, I failed to complete the minimum of 200 words for the post. I left for work at around 5:40am, almost got late, and still didn't finish the sponsored post I was tasked to write.

I was thinking about it all day, getting pissed at myself because I could have gotten up at 4:30am to check my email. And since I didn't expect any mails at that time, I tried to get a few more minutes of sleep not knowing that an opportunity had been given to me. And that cost me around $9.35. I'm hoping that I don't get a bad review from the site and they give me more opportunities in the near future.

Jason Castro.

2008-05-07T19:24:00.003+08:00

This week's American Idol theme is "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame".

Jason Castro chose to sing the songs of two of the most phenomenal Bobs in music history: Bob Marley's I Shot The Sheriff and Bob Dylan's Tambourine Man.

I thought his first performance was disappointing because he should have made the song work for him (since he and Marley have the same hair), but after seeing his second performance, I knew that the odds of Jason leaving is about 90%.

Maybe I shouldn't be worried knowing that Brooke White experienced the same (forgetting the lyrics). TWICE. So now, I'm hoping that the Vote for the Worst will succeed in helping him stay for one more week.

The Bro Code.

2008-05-03T21:37:00.008+08:00

I know I should be updating the TN blog but this is just too good not to share on my own blog. As I've mentioned on a previous blog entry, I am so in love with Barney Stinson of the hit TV show, How I Met Your Mother. And, as an avid follower of his teachings, I would like to know why he acts the way he does.

I found this, The Bro Code, on Barney's blog posted on the CBS website.

Click to Enlarge

I don't know where he got this but I think it's right on! And although he's a jerk (sometimes), I know that he means well and he loves his friends. Now that I think about it, I think Barney is like Michael Scott of The Office in some ways:

Both wear suits.
Both love hot girls.
Both have loads of crazy ideas.
Both want to be someone's best friend (Barney-Ted, Michael-Ryan).
Both are heartbroken (Barney-Shannon, Michael-Jan).

I'm gonna think of other similarities. But for the meantime, I think I'll stop obsessing about Barney and focus on my life.

Iron Man.

2008-05-01T17:44:00.008+08:00

I went to the mall yesterday to watch the movie Iron Man. We avoided Libis because today is a holiday and most people would be out on party places last night, but still almost missed the first part of the movie due to the heavy traffic along EDSA. Luckily, we made it just in time.

We attended the special screening along with the VIPs. Yes, the VIPs. I don't know where we got the tickets but the 8:30pm slot was reserved for us. There was also a pre-screening party at Burgoo but we didn't bother to go there. We were only interested in watching Robert Downey, Jr. "suit up" and become Iron Man.

As if being seated in the most uncomfortable spot in the theatre (a corner) isn't bad enough, I have a fat noisy father person for a seatmate. He was talking loudly and he kept on staring at me. Gross!

After a while, I got to focus on the movie. I can't really say that the movie's great but, I think it's WAY better than Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer, and I think I'm gonna see the sequel if they're planning to make one. I enjoyed Robert Downey Jr.'s performance although not so much Gwyneth's. I think she's better with all the drama and not the superhero girlfriend type.

I've read that Robert is going to appear in the The Incredible Hulk movie as Tony Stark.

Google Checkout.

2008-04-30T17:06:00.004+08:00

Online businesses are a hit these days and if you're one of these online entrepreneurs, then Google Checkout is one of the most helpful tools you can add to your website.

Ashop Commerce Shopping Carts is one of the first companies to integrate with Google Checkout and include the auto call back function.

By choosing this option, it will activate as a payment option on your shopping cart checkout. It's safe and it makes it easy for online shoppers to identify your site to be qualified and secure. It also utilizes a single log-in for all shopping carts on the web which will allow shoppers to purchase products and services while exerting less effort.

With your online business using the services of Google, a trusted company, both Google Checkout and Ashop Commerce provide online shoppers a higher level of trust thus making your online business deliver a higher number of purchases.

To make things simple, I can summarize all these in one sentence:

Google Checkout + Ashop Commerce + A simple checkout process = Lower number of cart abandonment and higher number of sales.

The Lemon Law.

2008-04-28T21:09:00.006+08:00

I love Barney Stinson from the CBS TV show How I Met Your Mother. He's this annoying geeky horndog played by Neil Patrick Harris. He loves to hit on women, go to strip clubs, and play laser tag. I am so into his character that I even did a research about this thing Barney calls The Lemon Law.

The Lemon Law may be invoked if, at any point during the initial five minutes (300 seconds) of a first date, either party deems the union hopeless and elects to abort said date in the interest of time and/or self-respect. Receipt of this card herebey absolves the Giver from any "hard feelings" or "questions" from the Lemon Lawyee relevant to the discontinuance of the date which may be terminated for any reason including, but not limited to: tawdry attire, breath, homeliness, misplaced/excessive body hair, Long Island accent, Public School Education, bad credit, no credit, suspicious odor(s).

Addenda:
(I) Giver may waive the Lemon Law should Lemon Lawyee immediately consent to a no-stings attached "stand", duration of which shall be no longer than one (1) night.

(II) The terms of this agreement are non exclusively transferable in deference to the emergence of the Lemon Law as a "thing".

(III) In the unlikely event of a simultaneous invocation, parties shall enact one (1) "High Five", with neither party officially assuming credit for the Lemon Law issuance.

PayPerPost.

2008-04-24T18:48:00.004+08:00

I've just signed up for Payperpost and this is actually my first ever sponsored post for them. I enjoy blogging about almost anything and as I've said before, getting paid for doing something you love is not a bad idea.

So far, I've seen what the other pay to blog sites offer and they are not like this one. Payperpost gives you a lot more opportunities and pays more than the others. Also, they have this thing they call blog ethics wherein they tell you what's proper and what's not.

I've also read a lot of good things about Payperpost from my fellow bloggers and I'm kinda proud of being able to join this network because I've also heard that this site doesn't approve all blogs. They screen blogs to make sure that you meet their requirements and that you are really blogging and not just using it to make a living.

I really recommend Payperpost to people who have spare time. It's perfect for me because I work Mondays to Fridays from 6am to 2pm and I have the whole afternoon to do whatever. Although you can't feed your family with just this, it's a good way to earn a few extra bucks. For me, I use my earnings to pay for mobile phone credits so at least that's one expense I don't have to think about and I can use my salary to maybe buy something special for my family.

Look Of The Year.

2008-04-23T15:05:00.004+08:00

If you are an aspiring model, a winner of a Beauty Contest, or just plain gorgeous, then this opportunity is for you.

Look of the Year, a worldwide beauty contest, is looking for young and beautiful people all over the world to send in their pictures and give them a chance to work as a model in Milan, Paris, and New York. Sending your pictures to Look of the Year is a good way to get spotted by an agency and start a modeling career and at the same time, earn some money.

For more information, you can click here or go to http://www.lookoftheyear.com/.

Boxing Beauties.

2008-04-22T20:35:00.007+08:00

Have you ever wondered what's hidden behind the tough faces, flexed muscles, and giant egos of boxers? I have found the answer.

Taken from a website (I don't remember which), I share with you: Marco Antonio Barrera, Manny Pacquiao, and Erik Morales.

I must admit, all of them look good in bikinis.

Move over Round Card Girls, the Boxing Beauties have arrived.

Umbrella.

2008-04-13T11:40:00.008+08:00

I didn't like Rihanna's song Umbrella at first but I have grown to love it. I did my research about the song and learned that it's one of the most covered songs of 2007.

Biffy Clyro and John West sing acoustic versions.

Mandy Moore and Marie Digby give it a more feminine pop-ish touch.

McFLY, Plain White Ts, Vanilla Sky (a pop band from Rome), and All Time Low (which was included in the Pop Goes Crunk album) made Alternative Punk versions.

Chris Brown and Rihanna did a remix and changed the title to Cinderella Under My Umbrella.

Charice Pempengco.

2008-04-12T12:44:00.005+08:00

Remember this?

After doing a show with Ellen Degeneres last year, Charice Pempengco is set to make an appearance on Oprah this May.

Idol Gives Back 2008.

2008-04-10T19:26:00.006+08:00

I'm currently watching the American Idol special Idol Gives Back for the year 2008. A lot of A-list stars joined to help raise money for a good cause. Here are my few favorite performances:

Teri Hatcher sings with the "Band from TV". The band consists of actors from our favorite TV shows like House, Desperate Housewives, and Heroes. I literally jumped from my seat when I saw Jesse Spencer playing the violin.

Heart sings Barracuda together with Fergie in this awesome performance.

To help support this very good cause, you can click here or go to http://www.americanidol.com/.

Puppy Dog Eyes.

2008-04-06T21:54:00.005+08:00

I swear, this photo made me want to cry.

I know it sounds silly, but it's true. Is this a side effect of being around newborns all day? Maybe I should learn to be more apathetic.

The Office: A Crime Film.

2008-04-05T18:02:00.004+08:00

If The Office was a crime film, the trailer would probably look like this.

The clip was made by a user bpjd8x of Youtube.

American Idol Top 9 - Songs by Dolly Parton.

2008-04-05T00:16:00.006+08:00

This week on American Idol 7 featured songs by Dolly Parton. Here are my favorite performances of the night.

David Archuleta's Smokey Mountain Memories performance gave me the chills.

I also adored Michael John's rendition of It’s All Wrong, But It’s All Right.

It's too bad Ramiele Malubay got booted off American Idol this week. But making it to the Top 9 is not bad at all. That's still something to be proud of.

Captain Jack Scofield.

2008-04-04T22:28:00.007+08:00

I don't remember where I got this from, but I find it really funny.

P.S. I still don't think Wentworth Miller is gay.

David Cook - Billie Jean.

2008-03-27T02:02:00.011+08:00

David Cook sings Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean.

Here's Chris Cornell's Unplugged in Sweden version:

It seems like David and I have the same taste in music (we have something in common and now he can marry me!). First it was Hello by Incubus (which I also blogged about on this post) and now this! Although it's a good thing that the judges love what he does but I'm starting to think that he doesn't have his own style. He doesn't come up with his own arrangements like the other idols and yet he takes the credit for it. It's sad. Really. But I still love him. He reminds me of Chris Daughtry, a former idol, and Toby Rand from Rockstar Supernova.

So right now, it's David Cook, David Archuleta, Michael Johns, or Ramiele Malubay for me. I really hope one of these guys win.

The Papaya Dance.

2008-03-24T19:40:00.003+08:00

Edu Manzano's Papaya Dance was featured in Good Morning America. The song Papaya was originally performed by Ursula Dudziak and was revived by Groovychick. The dance was first introduced on the Filipino Game Show Game Ka Na Ba? and became popular among the people here in the Philippines.

Here is the video.

Tactics Arena.

2008-03-17T16:59:00.007+08:00

I have been really distracted for a few days now and this is the reason why:

A friend of mine introduced me to this game. Tactics Arena Online is like a modified chess game. You can only use up to 10 characters but it's up to you to mix it up to have one strong solid unit. You can receive new characters when there's a Drop. There are also some tricks on how to use the characters properly. And the best thing about it is that it's free and registration will take you around 10 seconds.

Click here to play.

Hi I'm JP and I'm a Tactics Arena Online addict!

David Archuleta Top 12.

2008-03-12T20:39:00.004+08:00

David Archuleta's performance on American Idol tonight was disappointing. He forgot the lyrics and the arrangement of the song was wrong wrong wrong! I hope he doesn't get booted off tomorrow. We all know he can do much better.

Mika.

2008-03-10T19:24:00.005+08:00

I'm crazy about Mika. I heard his song Grace Kelly while listening to the Radio 1's Live Lounge album. I did a little research about him and after watching a few of his videos in Youtube, I fell in love with his sound!

You can listen to his sound here.

Girls and Drinking.

2008-03-06T20:12:00.004+08:00

A friend placed this comment on my Facebook Profile and I thought it was really funny (and true). I've seen these on my girlfriends and I think they have seen these on me.

David Cook Top 16.

2008-03-06T14:02:00.009+08:00

I have a new crush and his name is David Cook. I have been watching American Idol for a few weeks now and it was just yesterday that I discovered David. He kinda looks like Toby Rand from Rockstar Supernova.

Here is David singing Lionel Richie's Hello.

It's wonderful but I don't think this is the first time I've heard that version of the song so I opened my WMP and checked. Here is the same song sung by Incubus.

David Archuleta - A Thousand Miles.

2008-03-01T14:01:00.004+08:00

I just became David Archuleta's follower so you're gonna see a lot of his videos in this blog. Although I'll probably post only those performances I would want to watch over and over.

David Archuleta Top 20.

2008-03-01T13:48:00.005+08:00

I just found out that my favorite male American Idol contestant, David Archuleta, is a Filipino-American. He's young but you can tell that he's gonna go a long way.

Bloggerwave.

2008-02-27T20:55:00.004+08:00

Ben Affleck and Jimmy Kimmel.

2008-02-26T11:17:00.006+08:00

This is Jimmy Kimmel's response to Sarah Silverman's song about Matt Damon.

Celebrities in the video: Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Joan Jett, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Meat Loaf, Pete Wentz, Dominic Monaghan, Macy Gray, Perry Farrell, Lance Bass, Huey Lewis, Josh Groban, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Dicky Barrett, Rebecca Romijn, Christina Applegate, and Cameron Diaz.

Ramiele Malubay Top 24.

2008-02-22T01:49:00.005+08:00

Ramiele Malubay is still on her way to being the next American Idol. She sang You Don't Have To Say You Love Me for this week. She DOES have a big voice for a little girl and I likes.

The Amazing Race Asia 2.

2008-02-14T22:14:00.014+08:00

Marc and Rovilson finished third in The Amazing Race Asia 2. They were leading all the way until they reached the last Road Block wherein Rovilson failed to arrange the flags correctly and both the Singapore and Malaysia teams passed them. If only Marc did the challenge, they would have won $100,000. Even if they finished third, they still won amazing prices from the sponsors. Also, they are going back to Africa as tourists. They will be able to enjoy whatever they missed when they passed through as racers. So coming up as the third team for them is not THAT bad.

Pamela and Vanessa, the sisters from Malaysia, finished second.

Colin and Adrian, the gym buddies from Singapore, won The Amazing Race Asia 2. It was Adrian's unbelievable knowledge of flags that won them the $100,000 to spend as they wish. Congratulations, Team Singapore!

Tongue Twisters.

2008-02-13T02:37:00.001+08:00

Try these wicked funny tongue twisters:

I am a mother pheasant plucker.
I pluck mother pheasants.
I am the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker who ever plucked a mother pheasant.

I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son.
I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes.

I'm not a fig plucker, I'm a fig plucker's son, and I'l pluck figs 'till the fig-plucking's done.

Don't read it once. Read it aloud 3 to 5 times. You'll see why I find it so funny.

Grace Kelly.

2008-02-12T21:01:00.003+08:00

I am so in love with this song right now. I know it's from 2007 but with all the RnB and Emo-ness all around, it's a good change.

And I'm loving the music video.
