Paul Villacorta's 2009 Blogger Calendar

Last week when I'm reading plurk posts and I found out that Paul Villacorta - a blogger from Cebu, is planning to make a blogger calendar. I'm so lucky I was included in the said calendar and I choose the month of February.

Why February? I don't know, maybe February is available or February is the month of LOVE <3. I like the designs of Paul. Eventhought February is not in the picture sample, I know I will like it.

Twilight Fever

I want to watch the movie 'twilight' since it's premier last week, but I don't have any company. Good thing yesterday my ever dearest girl said "yes" when I asked her to watch a movie with me. She told me that she's dying to see the movie too. After our office we went to the mall and put something in our stomach because we're starving that time. When we finished our dinner, that was 7pm, we bought tickets in we choose the orchestra. I have a popcorn and a bottled water in my hands when we enter the movie house, she's carrying a mcflurry from mcDonalds'.

We make sure that when we enter the movie house the movie is done so that we can watch the beginning and for me the trailers of the coming soon movies 'i love trailers'. The orchestra is almost full when we enter, I can't hardly see empty seats for us. I smiled when the trailers played 'There's so many great movies to wait'. The movie started at 720pm.

ABOUT THE MOVIE
Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal. Written by http://www.summit-ent.com/

OPINION

The movie was great!, but It happened so fast. I like to read the book.

Saving Files in the Internet...

Large file sharing makes me sweat, I cannot send files through email to the supplier because yahoo and gmail cannot sent file more than 10MB, and my files reached to 20MB. The product labels I made are in full resolution and in .ai, .psd, and .pdf files. There's an instance I have o share a video in one of the cable network because they're going to air the RDL Commercials, there are 5 videos different file for every product. The Freshmen, Teens Cologne, Whitening Soap, Facial Cleanser and the Astringent. Each video is more than 30MB. Good thing the cable network introduced to me the internet saving and sharing also. The Mediafire.

Try mediafire and tell me...

Launching new blog...

I made a new blog powered by wordpress named Virtual Pieces. It's from free web hosting site . Even though I dont have domain, 000web gave me a free domain and with an extention of .site90.net. It's fine.

Thanks Jehz!...

Last week Friday, I received a McDonald's gift certificate from jehzeel via courier. Jehzeel sent me GC as a treat to those who I voted batangyagit.com (blogger winston) in the PBA 2008 which fortunately he won. I'm keeping the calling cards but not the GC, I already used it and the service crew tore it apart...hehehe. I ate double cheese burger de luxe, a mcflurry and a cheese burger value meal.

BATTLEON.COM, 2d BeSt!

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT BATTLEON.COM?

Lately, I want to unwind myself because of busy schedule, pressure and meeting deadlines. I find this site before and played but I'm not consistent in playing so my account somehow vanished in the air. 'hehehe'.

Now, I enjoyed playing the battleon.com, kill monsters and acquire impressive weapons, durable armor, powerful spells, magnificent shields and pets too. Right now, I'm level 35, a magician type character with deadly spells. I have my armors t0o... I can't display my character because the site is full right now. Sometimes the player reached 8700+ and the site allows only 8000 to free account players.

To create new characters please proceed to this add, and start playing!

Three Long Weeks...

It's been three long weeks since I first punch my card but it seems I've been working for a year. I remember my first day when I enter in my office, arranged my stuff such as coupon bonds 'long/short', and cleaning my table to ready my computer. and that day also I signed the contract, HR introduced me to my officemates in LDL Realty Estate Corp. and in the RDL Pharmaceutical Laboratory. As a graphic artist I can say that my job is stressful, always in front of the monitor 'STARING without blinking' in the 17" monitor. That's a lot of Radiation. I'm also fortunate because I am connected in the internet, I can surf anytime.

I hope when i age 40 I can still see. hehehe...

National Transport Strike! Again...

National Transport Strike! Because of the rapid increase of the oils' price, Union of drivers in the country are conducting strike.

I'm fortunate that I have my officemate and we ride in his car to go to work everyday,yes everyday! so no strike can stop us from working...

CHOKING with Water?...

Yesterday after my AutoCAD class I went to convenience store and bought a bottled water because my throat is experiencing El Niño. Then on my way home inside the jeepney, I drunk the water which is in the bottle, when the liquid is flowing in my throat, I cough! and suddenly I'm chasing my breath afterwards. My face turns purple as I can see it in the side mirror because I'm sitting at the front seat beside the pilot. I thought I'm gonna die that time but in my mind flashed what happen in the past, to avoid coughing out loud 'COL'(hahaha)when you are choked with water, you have to stopped breathing for atleast 30sec and slowly breath. That will ease you and you can control the coughing afterwards. I do that everytime I'm in that situation only in water, but with solid food? I don't think I'll work.

This afternoon when I was working. I surfed the net and searched on 'Why we choke with water'. I found many answers but wikianswer give me a concise answer.Now I know why we choke with water.

Waters doesn't really make us choke. We are experiencing that feeling 'as what the site state - discomfort' is when the liquid flows in a wrong path. The correct path of the liquid is always through the throat. What happens is the waters enters in our nasal area and we feel that we're choking.

hehehe...

Learning AutoCAD

Learning AutoCAD is not easy, typing commands, measuring lengths, thickness, elevation, angles. Our lessons are not easy, I cannot catch up the teacher sometimes and leave me hanging in our exercises. Our lesson now is 3D.

I made this one here:

Disk Operating System (DOS) Commands

DOS or Disk Operating System is a system without any graphic interface. Lahat letters lang tapos monochrome lang 'paper white'. DOS is important in installing OS or Operating System in a computer unit. This post can help you in installing OS using the commands, because these commands are vital. You cannot interact with the computer if you don't know the commands in DOS.

These are the commands used in Disk Operating System (DOS) First is the scandisk it is used scanning/fixing the errors in the drive. Type ka nito a:\>scandisk tapos enter mo. It automatically scan the disk and fix its errors afterwards. Second is fdisk it is used to partition the disk. Partition meaning making space in the disk or dividing the disk, you know that a disk is partitioned when there is two drives the c: and d:, partitioning is important to avoid the file in the other drive from the corrupting virus. Type mo ang a:\>fdisk tapos enter ulit. Third is the format is used in erasing the files in the disk. Siguro alam mo na ang erase. Erase ito na lahat ng laman talaga ng disk mo uubusin. Type mo lang ito a:\>format c:/d:. Fourth is cls means clearscreen. When you want a clear screen tpos ang matitira nalng ay ang root directory at ang blinking cursor. You just have to type a:\>cls and your screen will now be cleared. Fifth, ito pa exit gamit to go out of the system. just like this a:\>exit.Sixth, kung gusto mong makita ang laman ng isang drive ito lang itype mo dir display the content of the disk, a:\>dir/w/p. This command is useful when you want to make a folder where you pud the files md to make a folder in the disk. When you want to make a folder in the drive c: which you will be using to put file when you started installing. This is an example c:\>md win98. in copying a file a command copy used to copy the files from one drive to another or from one folder to another. This example is copying a file from a: to c:\win98 a:\>copy . c:\win98. After entering a folder and you want to return to the root directory a command cd\ is used and return to the root directory. This example can help c:\>win98>cd\ (c:\>_). When you don't want a folder and you want to delete it, it's quite hard to do that if you don't know what to type. rd is a DOS command to remove a folder in the drive. The example is deleting a folder win98 in c: c:\>rd win98. To delete a file in DOS del is the command to delete file. Example is deleting party.doc, like this c:\>del party.doc.

Hope this post can be of great help for you in DOS...

That's all for now...

My Anime Favorites

This are my fave anime series ever since i knew television...



Ghost Fighter - japanese anime, a story of a human with a demon blood flowing in his veins and destined to bring peace to the surface and defeit the devil one.The main characters of the story are eugene, dennis, vincent and alfred.








Flame of Recca - this anime series is hot. Recca possesses a dragons inside him. The eight flamed dragons helped him in every contest he is into. Recca wanted to defeit his brother which has a power same as his.









Cowboy Bepop The Movie- Mars. Days before Halloween 2071. Villains blow up a tanker truck on Highway One, releasing a deadly virus that kills hundreds. Fearing a bigger, even more devastating biochemical attack, an astronomical reward is offered for the arrest and capture of the person behind the destruction. On the space ship "Bebop," Spike Spiegel and his crew of bounty hunters (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein) are bored and short of cash. But with the news of the reward everything changes.
Based on the wildly popular TV series, "Cowboy Bebop," the big screen smash COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE pits Spike and Co. against their deadliest adversary ever. Featuring stunning, state-of-the-art animation, this action-packed sci-fi adventure builds to a breath-taking, nail-biting climax, guaranteed to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat.
I like this movie and its series too. A bounty hunter...nice!


Yu-Gi-Oh - I like this anime series also, I already finished watching it in http://www.youtube.com/ for almost a year (that costs a lot of money) since I watched in the internet cafe. Card duel games with an impressive effects. This series started when Yugi solve the pyramid puzzle and the pharaoh's ghost that was imprisoned there came out and help Yugi in every duel.



Naruto Shippuden - it is a continuation of the first Naruto. This is chapter two because naruto here is a teenager now. It started when Naruto and Jiraya arrived in Konoha Village after two and half years of training outside the village. Naruto here is a grown up boy that possesses a great power from the kyubi inside him. This time in he's prepare to face Orichimaru and bring Sasuke back to the village. I'm always waiting for the episode uploaded in http://www.crunchyroll.com/ always.


Bleach- i like this too. A story of a high school boy that accidentally became a Soul Reaper. After that incedent his life change and become more challenging. He face challenges that made him strong and overpowered the real Soul Reaper. I watched the episode of this series in http://www.crunchyroll.com/ also.

You, what is your favorite anime?.....

Meet the Spartans - Movie Review

MEET THE SPARTANS (2008)

The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing by leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13--count ‘em, 13!--Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton--no one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture).

I'm dying to watch this movie, I hope it'll be the next picture in the movie house soon.

Dollar vs Phillippine Peso (PhP)

US Dollar (USD) vs Phillippine Peso (PhP)




US Dollar as we all know money used in the US. ahaha...obvious! US Dollar nga eh. This currency is used to buy anything in World Market you can't buy using peso also in the world wide web (www). Mostly dollar is credited in your credit cards when you purchase anything in the internet. The world market accepts only dollar.

Peso is the currency used here in our country Philippines. As of today January 28, 2008. The exchange rate is $1=PhP40.90. It is so hard for the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) who earned Dollar because the last time I remember that was year 2005 the Dollar hit $1=PhP56.00, the dollar s strength is declining nowadays.

The bad thing there is dollar exchange gets smaller and the price commodities here in our country is increasing. Like the Gasoline.

Motorola C119...

Motorola C119

I bought this cellphone last wednesday. I checked it if it function well, after I scrutinized this unit. I found out there are menus that doesn't work. example of this is the screen saver. Even if I choose the screen saver motorola batwing, ang waited for 1min for the delay. nothing happens its always the digital clock that appears in the screen.

It is a cheap phone. it has no MMS like the 3G phones in the market right now. All I want is to have a cellphone which I can use for communicating-the real essence of a mobile unit.

Those who have this kind of cellphones 'I hope there is' have you check the menus yet? or no?

Flooding of Food Supplement...

Did any one invited you to attend seminars about food supplements that makes oneself healthy?

I'm 22 years old now and I attended many seminars not only food supplements but others too. I tried all of those things but I'm not consistent to patronize one product. hehehe....Yesterday I attended seminar here in Davao City about Himalayan Goji Juice. I love to attend seminars because the food is great!hmmm...

Food supplement...

Himalayan Goji juice

The World's Most Powerful Food

Did you know that in some remote places in this world, a life expectancy of more than 100 years is not uncommon?
Research has shown that many of the world's longest living people consume regular daily helpings of a tiny red fruit that may just be the world's most powerful food the goji berry.
FreeLife® is the first company to perfect a difficult and demanding proprietary extraction process and create the only standardized form of this incredible plant available in the world today:

K-Link 'Liquid Chlorophyll'

K-Liquid Chlorophyll’s three main benefits:
1. Cleansing - refers to detoxification and eliminating impurities from our body.
2. Regulating - balances the hormones, acid and alkaline in our body.
3. Nourishing - provides nutrients for healthy blood to increase the oxygen level and red blood count.

What is Chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is life’s natural elixir contained in the green pigment of plants. In the process known as “photosynthesis”, chlorophyll in green plants traps and stores the energy of sunlight, together with carbon dioxide in the air, water and minerals from the soil to produce food. The energy is required to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose – the chief source of energy for living organisms.

CMD

WHAT IS CMD?

CMD is the most powerful, health-giving mineral and trace mineral food supplement formulated by nature for greater bio-electric health and body mineral balancing. In today's modern, fast-paced society, supplying our bodies with the minerals they require is difficult. Many of the food we eat are grown in mineral deficient soil. Added to this, modern food processing techniques further strip important minerals like magnesium, potassium and boron - minerals that play key roles in our health. The truth is we may be eating a perfectly balanced diet and still be deficient in minerals and trace minerals. Supplementing your diet with CMD can replenish your body with the important nutrients that it may be lacking.

City of the Future?

Dubai isn't just remaking its skyline, explains Lee Smith—it's becoming the Arab world's most ambitious social and economic experiment

From October 2004

By Lee Smith

In the past few years, Dubai—the most glamorous of the United Arab Emirates' seven sheikhdoms—has become famous for forward-thinking hotels such as the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, and audacious building projects such as the Palm and the World, two massive collections of man-made islands that are taking shape offshore. On my recent visit to the emirate, people were buzzing about yet another new development, a $5 billion entertainment complex called Dubailand that will be built in the desert. Scheduled to open in 2007, Dubailand will include aquatic- and dinosaur-themed amusement parks, a space-age hotel, and the world's largest shopping center.

All this is part of ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's plan to wean the local economy off its dependence on oil, in part through tourism. According to the World Tourism Organization, Dubai had the world's highest growth rate in tourism in 2002. Last year, the emirate attracted nearly 5 million visitors, 38 percent more than in 2001. Dubailand is expected to boost tourism to 20 percent of the emirate's GDP.

Dubai's diversified economy—with large investments in the technology and information industries as well as tourism—has made it an increasingly popular place for international companies to do business, but what struck me most in Dubai was how much the city's ongoing transformation is being debated. Locals are wondering what kind of future Dubai is building toward—and whether it's one they want.

"There has to be more to a place than doing business," Jihad Fakhreddine, an analyst at the Pan-Arab Research Center, told me one afternoon at his office. The 47-year-old Lebanese expatriate had recently returned from Iraq, where he'd conducted polling for Gallup International. "I felt more attracted and attached to Baghdad after forty days than I do to Dubai after thirteen years." Unlike Iraq, Dubai is stable and rich, but what concerns Fakhreddine is that the emirate's cultural com- placency may shape the future of the Arab world. "There is no interest here in forming a culture that would make this country unique," he said. "We aren't asking things like, 'What does it mean to be an Arab? Is Dubai even an Arab city at all?'"

That is a complicated question. With between 80 and 90 percent of Dubai's population made up of foreign workers, from Pakistani laborers to Western executives, the answer is: maybe not. "Dubai's fundamental issue is demographic," Abdelkhaleq Abdulla, an Emirati native who runs a political science think tank, told me a few days later. "How can locals accept that they're a minority in their own country? Yet the economy is tied to the presence of expats.

"There are a lot of locals who look to the past and think the old ways were best," Abdulla continued. "And there are also a lot of people worried about the future. They're afraid the bubble will burst and everyone will go home."

While there is concern that the Islamist insurgency in Saudi Arabia could cause problems throughout the Persian Gulf, it is precisely Dubai's building boom that may make Abdulla's nightmare scenario less plausible. Much of the emirate's pricey new real estate—a substantial portion of developments such as the Palm—is being purchased by non-Arab, non-Muslim foreigners, giving them a greater stake in the city's future.

It's not far-fetched to think that outsiders could someday play as important a part in Dubai's political life as they have in its economy. The emirate may be a model of openness in the region, but it still suffers from a democracy deficit. And since Westerners are accustomed to political participation in their homelands, one possible incentive to keep the expat labor force in Dubai could well be democracy. "Political participation is the next step for us," Abdulla told me. "It has to come."

The question remains whether a multi-ethnic, democratic society really is possible here. Of course, that's exactly what the 21st century was supposed to look like, before September 11 left many wondering if it would instead become a jet-age reprise of historic clashes. After visiting Dubai, I found it reassuring to find that this is, in fact, a place—in the Arab world, no less—still considering that once-shared vision of the future.
