A busload of people were all cramped up as they headed south in one of the Philippines' busiest islands.
Unfortunately though, every now and then there’s a very disgusting smell that wafts through the air. One can imagine the horrid smell of a sewage system that’s been left to stand for days under the intense heat of the sun.

After a cut on the sixth round, one would surmise that perhaps Manny Pacquiao just blew his chance of winning the match against an undefeated contender of Mexican descent, Jorge Iván Solís Pérez. Remember the previous fight that Manny Pacquiao had with Erik Morales when he had a cut from a head bunt? He fought unflinchingly to the finish but the cut itself put him to a great disadvantage thus, rendering his defeat in that match.
Manny Pacquaio, is still and always be the people's champ of the Philippines. He is the only fighter who has the skill and the heart to fight, to win and to unify the Filipino people amidst all the animosity brought about by the hard life and the enormous problems challenging the Filipino nation.
So you downloaded Yahoo Widgets Engine, and then realized that it’s too much for your desktop to handle. You ended up uninstalling the Yahoo Widgets Engine and all functional widgets that you handpicked. Somehow, the widgets thing got you hooked to the ease and convenience of having tools and utilities sitting right on your desktop that you can use as you please. What do you do? You don’t want to redownload the Yahoo Widgets Engine again. You’re done with it for now.

Just recently I took a 21 hour flight on my way back to the U.S. We had a stop over in Hong Kong because our flight for the U.S. doesn’t leave until the following day. On the day when we were to take the Hong Kong to New York flight, I was shocked at the new rules for taking liquids with you on board an airplane.
Starting 21 March 2007, departing passengers can carry only a limited quantity of liquids in their hand baggage as an additional security measure as directed by the Civil Aviation Department. This is also a new guideline adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Just about two hours ago, a hostage drama involving 32 children and 2 teachers in a school bus, in the Philippines, ended without any bloodshed.
The alleged hostage taker, a certain Jun Ducat, who is also the founder of the day care center where those children attended, peacefully surrendered after a 10-hour stand-off that stole the spotlight, having the world media covering every bit of the crisis.
What did he want from all that media-grabbing attention? Based on initial reports, all he wanted was for a change targeting on the widespread corruption in the government and a demand for a better education for all those poor children.
About two days ago, Yahoo made Yahoo Widgets 4 available for download. As soon as I found out about it today, I wasted no time and immediately downloaded the widget application engine which is an upgrade of the formerly known Yahoo Konfabulator with its newly added widget dock and minimal memory usage. I have never seen so much widgets, in all my geeky existence. Yahoo actually did a good job of categorizing the different widgets based on the functionalities. With the added dock, Yahoo made it easy for users to customize the widgets by customizing the preferences. The widget dock itself can be set to collapse or to hide automatically.
Wait a minute, what is a widget? A widget is just a little file usually represented by icons or graphic symbols and it does pretty much any function that is assigned to it such as a calculator, a desktop calendar, a currency converter, a mail checker, a music player, a shortcuts folder, a daily reminder, a site updater, an RSS feed aggregator, etc.

This is a humorous take on a court hearing. Enjoy!
In a murder trial coined as the case of the decade, too much media frenzy was causing anxiety on both the prosecution and defense panels. On the day when the accused was cross-examined by the prosecution, this is what transpired . . .
Prosecution: (addressing the accused) At the time of the incident, what did you does?
(Immediately the defense attorney stood up and raised his objection.)
Like I said in my previous post we will be doing a big move soon and one of my major undertakings prior to the move is to make sure that the data in my laptops are backed up.
When electronic devices are subjected to certain temperature changes, shock, impact and other unwarranted handling procedures while transported, they have a tendency to malfunction and with respect to computers, the only sure way that you can preserve your data no matter what happens along the way, is to back it up.
How do I backup these data? For those of you who do not know, you can back up your data using Windows XP's (this is my OS) utility software--Backup.
I was left with a dilemma as to which third party software to download so I can efficiently back up my data. After a thorough search, I came up with two possible candidates: SyncBack and DriveImage XML.

Who amongst us here enjoy a good pampering every once in a while? I do. It comes in the form of a massage.
A periodic massage to the body actually helps especially during stressful times. A massage often gives you the feeling of relief and rejuvenation. I don't know why, but it must be the release of tension that really makes massaging the body such a relaxing experience.
If you have the money, you can do the massage on a regular basis. The rate could go from about P300 to P5000 depending on where you get it. You can get it locally for a cheaper price or you can get it at a more exclusive spa for a much higher price.
I've been really preoccupied these days with a lot of tasks, thoughts, anxieties and it's all because in the next few days we'll be relocating to another part of the globe. Hence, it was so easy for me to lose a lot of sleep.
Doing something big like a move is really taxing. Every detail has to be carefully kept an eye on. Thought-provoking scenarios in your head kept replaying every minute of each day until the big day. Wouldn't it be nice if you can just sit for 15 minutes and be able to unload your thoughts--just any random thoughts that is boggling you? Would it be nice if there's one application that helps you manage your tasks more efficiently and more effectively?
That's exactly what I needed at this time when it's so easy for me to get lost in my own train of thoughts because of the many tasks that are set to be accomplished right before me prior to the big move.
Normally I would just gather all my colorful stick-ons and colored pens to lay out everything on paper to clear my head. But no, not this time.
With some stroke of luck though, I found this Thinking Rock software. It is a neat software written in Java that can run on several platforms like Linux, Macintosh, or Windows and is based on GTD(getting things done) methodology.
