Need a Host?

As we all know wordpress.com provides a free blog including free hosting, but there are a lot of limitations. You can’t edit your templates, you can’t add important codes, plug ins are limited, and you can’t even put adsense codes!

Computer

My friend who is currently taking engineering asked me to help him in his homework. It’s about computers, and the fact that I’m taking BSIT which is a computer study, I have no choice but to help him. I won’t bother helping him though, cause It’s our sembreak already.
He asked me to make a research about history of [the] computer and computer timeline.
It should be at least 20 pages.
So I decided to edit some of the articles found in the “Super Warehouse Blog”. (It is the blog of the “Super Warehouse” – a site that offers a huge selection of scanners, printers, desktops, computer accessories and other computer hardwares grouped in different trusted brands.)
I copied the articles and edited some parts, copied their link in the bottom of my research as my reference. And then I’m done!
I always prefer the blogs of well known and trusted sites like Super Warehouse, cause their name assured me that the contents and articles in it are accurate. I always visit their site for updates and for canvassing purposes.
What I love about their blog, is the simplicity and the articles they have. Their blog will surely give out knowledge and information in almost everything you need to know for your personal computers.

Rugs

Sorry for this personal post again. It’s because of my aunt.
After a lot of arguments about our sinks, she now wants me to buy Persian Rugs for our living room!
For goodness sake! We still have a carpet. And it’s still doing it’s function.
But my aunt insists that a Persian rug or a Hand Knotted Rugs is what our floor needs.
Haizt.
Here she goes again. She’s an avid fan of shopping online. She introduced me to a lot of sites offering different products. Good thing about her is she always pay for what she wants to replace or buy for our house.
Our carpet smell like hell because of the unexpected flood in our house. And she didn’t like it’s smell and color. That’s why just this morning, when I checked my e-mail, I saw her message about the sink that I bought online yesterday and a link to a new site that she wants me to check out.

It is Rugs by Infinity, they provide different kinds and types of Rugs. You can find most of the rarest rugs in their site. The Persian, oriental, and other traditional style area rugs. With a dazzling “free shipping”!.

I still haven’t decided what to buy.
I’ll ask my mother first if she agrees in the design I want.

This are my two choices :

Sink Stink

I hate unclean and stinky sink. It annoys me.
My aunt want us to buy a designer Kitchen sinks,
But we doesn’t have enough money to buy one. And we are just renting our house, so why do we need to buy one?
I admit that I really want to have a designer kitchen sink, but do we really need one?

My aunt is such a luxurious woman. She wants everything in order. She prefer buying branded things than the usual one. She was here last Wednesday and criticized our mini little tiny house. She said that we need to decorate our house, that we should buy curtains, new pillows, Bathroom sink, sofa, etc.
Gosh! we’re not rich as she is. We don’t even own a house! That’s the reason why we don’t spend our money to those things.

She married a foreigner, that’s the main reason of her richness. Money is really powerful, it can change a person a lot. And my aunt is under its spell.
Haizt..

Anyway, she’s back in California and she gave me access to her credit card.
She e-mailed me a link to her favorite site when it comes to sinks! and she wants me to buy one of the Vessel sinks there. She said that there’s a huge sale, and I must grab the opportunity to buy an artisan and designer sink.

I was shocked. She really thinks that we need to buy a sink.

Here’s the picture of the sink in our back door :

And this is the one I decided to bought from sinksgallery:

Not bad right?

Decorating Accesories

I’m an avid fan of life style magazines. I always admire eye catching furniture and houses.
I actually dream of owning one someday.
Visiting sites related to furniture and home decorations is one of my hobbies and past time. I enjoy admiring those things.
My aunt introduced me to Eastern Inspired Living. She showed me pictures of her eastern inspired house. She knows I love creative designs, that’s why she always give me sites to visit and admire.
She e-mailed me this pictures.

Amazing right? The Pictures led me to a Furniture and Home Decorating Accesories.

They provide great designs and high quality craftsmanship. Like Dining Tables to Sofas, Wooden Beds up to BookCases.

The pictures and it’s design gave me inspiration.

I’m a Filipino so expect me to dream and be inspired to those simple things.
They always say that Filipinos are known for their frugality yet ambitious mind set. We dream every single thing our imagination can reach. We are hardworking and we earn money in a hard way and that makes us a frugal person. But still, we dream and aim high. We love living in a simple life yet our imagination always take us to extra ordinary ambitions.

From a simple nipa hut (Bahay Kubo) to a mansion.

From a banig to Wooden Beds
From papag to sofa.
From a simple house wife to a so called “Doña or Señorita”.
We Filipinos dream differently. We dream big.

Filipinos are under different cultural influences, that’s why we act and think differently.
We have our own unique taste when it comes to things, houses, and decorations, even to foods.
But though we have our own preferences we are still good when it comes to imagination.
Actually a US-based Filipino architect Lira Luis, first Filipino graduate architect of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, designed a $4- Million dollar shopping mall drawing inspiration from her Filipino culture. She also stated that she based her designs in our very own “Bahay Kubo”.

Filipinos creativeness is already international. We are known worldwide for our designs and unique culture.

Drug Addiction

Drug addiction in the Philippines is really alarming. I witnessed it all.
I’m a student in one of schools in Manila. And to tell you the truth.
Addiction is all over the place. It’s either you’ll see “Rugby boy” or addict in the side walk.
They’re every where.

Here is the latest press release of Senator Manny Villar.

May 8, 2006

VILLAR: DRUG ADDICTION STATS INCONSISTENT AND NOT UPDATED

Press Release

Senator Manny Villar, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Order and Illegal Drugs, says various local and foreign drug-monitoring agencies have been issuing reports and statistics about the status of drug addiction in the country to the point that these have become inconsistent with each other.

“There are so many statistics coming out, most of them inconsistent and not up to date. If we were to base our analysis of the drug situation in the country from these, we cannot paint a clear or realistic picture of the havoc that illegal drugs have wreaked in our society,” says Villar.

According to Villar, “There is a need to produce a more consolidated, comprehensive and updated statistics on the extent of drug addiction in the country. Some anti-drug authorities and agencies are bragging about the decline in drug addiction among Filipinos, but their figures are incomprehensive and more than a year old. So those cannot be reflective of the current situation.”

In March this year, Department of State of the United States (US) released its 2006 International Narcotics Control Report that refers to the Philippines as a drug smuggler’s paradise. The report cites that while counter-narcotics law enforcement in the (Philippines) is a high priority, it is still being hindered by a number of setbacks such as lack of resources, corruption in the government among others.

The report further cites that, “The Philippines is a narcotics source and transshipment country. Illegal drugs enter the country through seaports, economic zones, and airports. With over 36,200 kilometers of coastline and 7,000 islands, the Philippine archipelago is a drug smuggler’s paradise.”

Then just recently, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) claims in a statement that the number of Filipinos using illegal drugs has decreased to 6.7 million from around 10 million in 2001 based on the 2004 survey results of the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB).

“These declining figures may be considered as good news, but we should take note of the date of the survey. The survey was conducted in nearly two years ago already. How can we be sure that between 2004 and now, the number of drug addicts have not increased again?” cites Villar.

Villar further cites that with the discovery of shabu tiangge left and right, the most prominent of which were in Pasig and Bulacan, “there is an indication that illegal drugs are easy to come by these days and thus users and pushers are still everywhere.”

“We should not be complacent. It is too early to tap ourselves in the back, the fight against drug addiction is a continuous one. Anti-illegal drugs authorities should remain vigilant and aggressive in their campaign for a drug-free Philippines as drug addiction and smuggling remains one of the biggest threats in the society,” adds Villar.

Here in the Philippines drug dependence or addiction has become a severe social problem for its adverse effects upon our most precious resource – the Filipino Youth.
Sad to say that the Filipino Youth, are the common victims of this social problem that now leads us to the Philippines economic problem.

Psychologists and psychiatrists agree that a happy family is the best solution to avoid drug addiction. In that way, guardians and parents can monitor the child and guide them in living their life in the right way.
While the best solution for drug addiction itself is establishing a Drug Rehab Program to all Filipino citizens. It’s the most effective way to save ones life from being ruined because of drug dependence.

There are lot of rehabilitation centers in the world. And rehabilitation nowadays has a lot to offer.
You can choose from a lot of varieties of popular rehabilitation centers in the world.
Alcohol Rehab Center solves alcoholism. In the other hand Drug Treatment Center solves drug addiction.

Researchers believe that there’s a lot of way to save someone from this illness.
Comfort, environment, happiness, religion and care are some of the things to consider.
Rehabilitation can provide those things for anyone.

“Saving ones life from addiction is never too late.”

Best Buys

Filipinos now a days are fans and interested in shopping online.
We prefer buying online, because It’s the most convenient way in purchasing products.

Filipinos are known for their practicality. They always prefer the Best Buys in a lower price.
We are always after the price, disregarding the value.
That is what shopping online provides. They’ll give you justifiable price with assurance of a good product and quality.

Televisions and DVDs’ are one of the most in demand products. Notwithstanding your social class. Either you’re rich or poor, televisions and dvds’ is a necessity to all Filipinos. Best buys media players is also not an exemption to that.

Me, I shop online with Best buys. Because they provide good and safe service. And you can have a lot of freebies through them.
I know a lot of Filipinos, prefer this shopping engine above the rest.

So to all my Kababayans! Let’s start shopping online!

Life Insurance

My friends’ mother died last September 24.
I was shocked.
I didn’t expect that It would happen.
My friend texted me and told me that her mother was in hospital and needed to undergo heart operation.
After the operation, all went well.
But there’s another problem.
According to the doctors, they found water in her mothers’ lungs.
They need to increase her mothers’ blood pressure to conduct another operation, to save her mothers life.
That same night.
Her mother died.

My friend told me, that they need money badly.
The cost of the operation is almost P450,000.00.
Plus they have to pay for the doctors fee and other additional payments for the machines used to revive her mothers life.
Though they lack money.
They still held the wake in a funeral park in Parañaque.
Good thing is, their parents have insurance life, that’s why they still manage to have a decent wake.
His father is a dentist.
That’s why they have a lot of connections.
Her parents joined Life insurance investmentand assigned their off springs as beneficiaries.
They all agreed that they will just use the money to pay for their mothers operation.
Now, his father is looking for other life insurance companies to join.
They now, realized the value of having a life insurance.

I send my condolences to my friends family.
Godbless.
