Mabuhay! -- This blog is a smorgasbord of different topics that reflect the author's day to day interests and thoughts, ranging from personal views, technology news, world-related events, and certain relevant information about the author's place of origin, the Philippines. This blog is just as complex as the author's background. Read on.
I love gadgets especially the ones with attitude. I always go for the usually more expensive ones because whatever you buy, "you always get what you pay for". But what good is a sophisticated gadget if it's not backed by powerful applications. Right? Nada...of course.
What I usually do when I buy a gadget is to experiment and attempt to make use of its full potentials as soon as I get it. I have a very short attention span so normally I'll do the experimentation within 48 hours of acquiring the gadget or it's gonna sit in the corner for a while until I find some meaningful reason to bring it back to life. And by the way, I hate to read the manuals. The only thing that gets ample exposure in front of my eyes is the quick start guide. Who would want to read a 90-page user manual? By the time you're done reading, that gadget will be obsolete. It's like watching a tv commercial--as soon as you understand the picture, the picture fades away. That's how fast technology goes!
Time went by so quickly. It felt like we just hit 2007 and we didn't even notice that we're now finishing the first quarter of the year. In our place, March marks the start of a usually long period of hot, hot weather. This is the time of the year when ninety degrees Fahrenheit really isn't a surprise. This year, March is quite a busy month. Why? There's so much going on. School year ends. Inventory sale everywhere. Lenten season kicks off. Summer job starts. And most notably, the political arena is heating up for the May 2007 polls. Where? The seven-thousand-and-one-islands of course!
The thoughts expressed in these excerpts are both witty and funny. Do you want to know the difference between a neurotic, a psychotic and a psychiatrist? Read on, for a very compelling answer. Have fun!
I was lazily browsing the net, until I ended up on one website wherein several pages loaded one after another. Right away, it raised a red flag on my geek meter. The pages that loaded were mostly bogus ad sites. Bogus because I never requested for those web pages. They just popped out of nowhere. Then the confirmation came. My anti-virus software sitting in my desktop immediately prompted me about an infected file and the trojan name was "exploit byte-verify". Most low threat viruses that gets into your PC can be cleaned right away by most anti-virus software, but this one cannot be cleaned and cannot be deleted completely as well. I attempted to delete the file but apparently it didn't work because the bug has a read-only attribute. So I left it sitting in my PC while I scoured the net for answers. There were do-it-yourself solutions to removing the bug, but I didn't bother to experiment on them instead, I just downloaded a more updated and powerful virus protection software, and that did the trick, at a price of course.
Well, I was more concerned about how did I end up in a mal-infested web site in the first place and how could that be possible. All the while we thought that certain websites like pornographic sites, free sites, share ware sites are the sites that are typically infested by the dirty net bugs and that for us long as we don't go that way we are perfectly safe. Not anymore! Why?
Let me start by saying that I'm nowhere near obese. I don't consider myself fat. However, I felt like it would be nice to lose a few pounds just for the trouble of it. My target--lose at least five(5) pounds in a month's time. With the schedule that I have, it's impossible to go to the gym, and do some exercise. So I decided to look for some weight loss pills that I can take that will aid me in my pursuit of shedding off a few pounds--be a guinea pig for a while.
