The Road to Success is not straight: There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a driver called God, you will make it to a place called success!

CRIBS AND LUGGAGES

I just purchased a copy of a Showbiz magazine whereas the famous Filipino celebrities' cribs were featured. Well, taking the fact that they're rich and famous, you should expect that their pads are as gorgeous and stylish as far as your imagination will take you. My favorite then was Ricky Reyes's.



Aside from the fabulous interiors, the celebrities also showcased their prized possessions. One that I remember was Heart Evangelista's set of Designer luggage bags. It was all Louis Vuitton. How I wish could strut at the famous Italian streets with all those fantastic luggage bags!

I'd rather take my chances here at villageluggageandgifts.com. You can really find all over a hundred or even thousand designs to choose from. Aside from going to a luggage store, you might want to click here and see it for yourself.

WEB HOSTING IN LAYMAN'S TERMS



I've been hearing lots of advertisements, whether through the internet or radio about this web hosting. To tell you honestly I am not a "techie" person so I really don't have an idea. I looked for some sites to get an answer and admittedly I got more confused than ever. (Why the heck should they use those terms anyway?).

I am tired (or I guess lazy..) to look for web hosting articles and I am not "techie" enough for that stuff so I just asked a friend who majored computer science to explain it to me in the simplest way. He told me that it's just like a regular hardware of a computer where you store files. True enough, if you have a website then the web hosting is the physical location of your website that stores all the information such as texts, pictures, music, videos and other content. Web hosting providers maintain a server to store the data associated to your website and they provide the technology to guarantee your connectivity to the world through the internet.

I came up with this post because this one is really good for e-commerce. Since the battle now is virtual, companies tend to come up with their own websites. And through the web hosting companies, their success materializes.

I will discuss next time why web hosting is very advantageous for businesses. For now, if you want to read some web hosting articles (which I didn't do--sheesh) or learn through web hosting tutorials, just click here.

CREDIT REPAIR SERVICES


I had experienced working as a Customer service representative in a Credit Card Company and to tell you, it is not a joke. Everyday the queues never end, hearing the usual complaints and rants from the customers. There are times that they cuss directly at you which only adds up to the stress especially if you can't help them nor the supervisors with their concerns.

Well, sometimes I can't blame them if they pour their angst and desperation to us. Credit is such an important thing in the United States. It is a matter of life and death when their credit gets messed up. I encountered calls where the customer ended up wailing because he has no place to go and a woman was begging me to offer her a credit repair. What can I do? What even the heck is a credit repair? It is always said that customers should be responsible with their account but what if there are inaccurate reports? Those concerns were no longer within my capability as a front line representative so I transferred them (which made them more mad and anxious) to another department and I'm wondering what happened next.

Until it came to my knowledge that there was such a thing as Credit Repair Services. These are firms to help of course, repair credit. They get the credit scores from the 3 credit bureaus (Transunion, Experian, and Equifax), Review them, and file a dispute if there are discrepancies. They act in accordance with the Federal Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

I am glad to know that Customers are given hope by this Bad Credit Repair. As I have said, it is not a joke. The credit recovery period is 7 years and I myself, if were in that situation would not want to wait that long.

repairyourbadcredit.com is a credit repair service that helps through the internet. Very convenient, less hassle. Click here to check it out.

LIfe at the mountain....



It has been eight years since I was selected as one of the lucky few to enter the Philippine High School for the Arts. Of course, as the name says, the institution is aimed to hone the selected students' skill in their particular Art Major. Like me, my Major is Visual Arts. The school is located at one of the peaks of Mt. Makiling. Obviously, our place is quite secluded and high. The view was very nice.

Since we are on a mountain, the only time we can go to our homes is during weekends. Dormitories and food were provided for our stay. I can say that living on the mountain is a different experience especially if you came from an urban area. You listen to the tune of the cicadas roaming around the trees outside your room, you hear the giant lizard's grunts to signal that a rain is approaching, and you also share spooky stories with your roommates in the glow of the lamps during midnight.

Speaking of lamps, each and every student has a unique one. We were required to use it (just in case we still have something to do) because lights shut off at exactly 10.00 PM. Mine was a simple desk lamp, enough to cover my whole study table. Others almost looked like floor lamps because of their humungous sizes. If there is something that would come first to my mind when I speak of my stay at the mountain, It would be the lamps.

Anyway, if you are looking for different sorts of lamps-may it be a classic or modern one, you might wanna check Farreys.com.

JEALOUS!

I WAS supposed to give you a teaser regarding our bonding last night with my friends but I suddenly changed my mind. I just got so pissed when I received an SMS message this morning from a so-called friend and he literally ruined my day.

Enough of the details, I'll just share you this very very funny video. (And to think that my Blog is a wholesome one-haha!)



TRADE SHOW GALORE!


I am so happy I experienced even for once to attend a Trade show. I remember when I was still in college, our Dean invited me to go with him to the Philippine Trade Center to witness the different Filipino made products being showcased to attract foreign market and subsequently, for export. Our Dean was also invited there to conduct a seminar regarding Franchise Management.

I was so astounded as I entered the hall. I never expected to be as grand as that. The trade show displays are so enticing that you would really visit each and every stall. The products vary from food to handicrafts and furniture. The hall is also filled with people from different parts of the country. The stall that gathered so much attention was the SPA booth. They had these huge banner stands that really attracted visitors. They have a miniature spa (and they even put bermuda grasses to make it look real!) in which people can have try.

I figured out then that you really need to make your stall very presentable and attractive to gain market. You need to make the truss very creative, stylish, and OF COURSE relevant to the theme. Speaking of stylish truss and banner stands, camelbackdisplays.com can surely help you with that. May it be for expo products, displays, night clubs, lighting, or whatever you can think of, camelbackdisplays.com can supply you with all your display needs.

Use notepad as a Diary!




Open a blank Notepad file

Type .LOG (caps) as the first line of the file and press Enter button. Save the file and close it.

Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.

Type your notes and then save and close the file.

Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.

Christianity 101


I have been in a Christian Religion ever since I was a child but I have to admit that I still commit a lot of mistakes in my life. As what a Christian doctor says, being one does not make you invulnerable or invincible. There would really be times that your faith will be tested just like gold being tried in the fire. Let me put this straight though, I am not justifying the mistakes and failures christians commit nor make excuses to those. I would just like to emphasize that God is merciful and he certainly lends a hand to those who beseech him.

When I was young, my mother used to wake me up very early to dress up to go to church and attend Sunday school. There, We were being taught how to say our prayers, read the Bible, sing praise songs, and memorize our favorite Bible verses. My favorite verse then was the Gospel which is John 3:16. As I grew a bit older and had more understanding, I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour.


There came problems, mistakes, and failures. There had been times where you don't know what to do or where to go. I even reached the point of almost giving up. Good thing I have never lost my faith in God. I knew no matter how hard my trials were, I can be strong and overcome everything. As the verse says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Another amazing thing is that God uses people to help us during times of need. I can say that my family, pastors, Christian friends, and my Sunday school teachers contributed to my strength in facing challenges.

Speaking of people, There is a site where you can safely connnect with your friends, family, youth group, pastor, and new people. At LordsMessage.com, experience a wonderful support and encouragement through Christian Chat, blogs, and a whole lot more. Inspire people about your faith by sharing your testimonies. Lastly, stay connected with your church friends, prayer partners, family or home group locally or around the world! Surely God wants nothing but the best for you so grab the opportunity now!

LEGO MANIA



Oh my, oh my.. How I love my childhood days. I might not be as athletic and active as any normal child during that time (Yes, I do not know how to swim nor ride a bike that time--shoot.) but I can say that I am not a total loser because I have lots of cousins and friends whom I can come up with alternative toys and games (those that not require expensive toys,biking and other extremes). Also, my mom made me surrounded with lots of amazing "detachable" blocks to rollick at.

"Detachable" blocks eh? Haha! I am talking about Lego. Thanks to my cousin who enticed me to have one too. He handed me a catalog and it was Outrageous! There are lots of stuff like people and trees and all things that you can think of! I was so intrigued that I persuaded my mom to go to the mall with me to buy one. My first "real" Lego then was a mini castle with a glowing ghost and a knight riding on a horse! I did not become contended with that set so I eventually bought another one, then another one, until I can build my own Lego empire. Haha!


I am now 22 and I can say that my fascination at Lego has never ceased. I still kept on searching for newer models on the internet and I can say that it's more stylish and customized than before.Just imagine a Spongebob or a Harry Potter Model to get what I am saying.I was on the middle of my Lego quest when I chanced upon a site called Shopwiki.com during my search. I became so attracted in it because it showed a wide variety of Lego models. Aside from that, it also listed prices from individual stores for price comparison. I find this very useful because I am very much particular regarding prices.

Lego is just a part of their vast inventory. You can also look for other stuff and I'm sure it will be the most convenient website you'll ever encounter. Here are a few of the other things you can search at:

Accessories
Books, Movies, Music
Clothing
Computer Software

..and a lot lot more!

MY VERY OWN ANIME

It was a time were there are no emails... I am currently working as an email agent in a call center and there were hours that we don't get to download one or there are only a few to answer. Instead of chatting with friends or roam around the production floor, I just honed my spatial skills to kill time using Microsoft Paint.

I finished this within two weeks. hehe...(just kindly click on the image to enlarge.)

BEIJING OLYMPICS


The 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony was held at the Beijing National Stadium or "Bird's Nest". It began at 8:00 PM or 20:00 China Standard Time on the 8th of August 2008. The number 8 is associated with prosperity and confidence in Chinese culture. The ceremony was directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou and the event was comprised of 15,000 cast. It was said that it was the most spectacular Opening ceremony at the history of Olympics ever produced.


A rich assembly of ancient Chinese art and culture dominated the ceremony. It opened with the beating of Fou drums for the countdown. Subsequently, a giant scroll was unveiled and became the show's centerpiece. The official song of the 2008 Olympics was performed by Britain's Sarah Brightman and China's Liu Huan, and was titled You and Me.


Former Chinese gymnast Li Ning ignited the cauldron.

The entry parade of the competing athletes was in a different order from previous Olympic ceremonies, because it was not in ordinary alphabetical order of the names of the competing nations but in order (lowest first) of how many strokes are in their Chinese character transcriptions; for example, Australia was near the end because the first character of the Chinese name of Australia has 15 strokes.


Reviews of opening ceremony from around the world called it spectacular and devoid of politics.

The Worlds first Dynamic Architecture-once again DUBAI

As I have promised guys, I will be posting stuff related to technology. This will be my first entry for my Tech Bytes section.

Dubai is really crazy... Haha! I wish I am there to witness their craziness. Dubai creates a multitude of world records. The tallest building, the largest mall, the largest man-made Marina are just one of them. In this post, A milestone in technology and architecture I should say was revealed as a different kind of infrastructure will be erected on the amazing land of Dubai. The tower will be called: "Dynamic Architecture Tower".



The Dynamic Architecture building, which will be constantly in motion changing its shape, will be able to generate electric energy for itself as well as for other buildings. Forty-eight wind turbines fitted between each rotating floors as well as the solar panels positioned on the roof of the building will produce energy from wind and the sunlight, with no risk of pollution. The total energy produced by this inbuilt ‘powerhouse’ every year will be worth approximately seven million dollars.


As average annual power consumption of a family is estimated to be 24,000 kilowatt-hour, each turbine can supply energy for about 50 families. The Dynamic Architecture tower in Dubai will be having 200 apartments and hence four turbines can take care of their energy needs. The surplus clean energy produced by the remaining 44 turbines can light up the neighborhood of the building.

The Dynamic Architecture tower in Dubai will be having 200 apartments and hence four turbines can take care of their energy needs. The surplus clean energy produced by the remaining 44 turbines can light up the neighborhood of the building.


However, taking into consideration that the average wind speed in Dubai is of only 16 km/h the architects may need to double the number of turbines to light up the building to eight. Still there will be 40 free turbines, good enough to supply power for five skyscrapers of the same size.



The horizontal turbines of the Dynamic Architecture building are simply inserted between the floors, practically invisible. They neither need a pole nor a concrete foundation. In addition, they are at zero distance from the consumer, which makes maintenance easier.

The modern design of the building and the carbon fiber special shape of the wings take care of the acoustics issues. Producing that much electric energy without any implication on the aesthetic aspect of the building is a revolutionary step in tapping alternative energy sources. Furthermore, this energy will have a positive impact on the environment and economy.

BYTES AND BITS:

-The Dynamic Architecture Tower will be the first Prefabricated Building. This means that the components of the tower will be built in a factory and then it will be just assembled on the construction site. Imagine yourselves manufacturing a building. (haha!) 90% of the building will be built in a factory and the only thing that will be constructed on the site is the core itself.

-The total cost of the building is 23% cheaper than the normal skyscraper of the same size. Majority of the workers will be based on factories which is safer and only 90 people will work on the said building. It will also be expected to be constructed within 18 months only.

-It is expected to be completed in 2010. The Dynamic Tower will also be called "The Da Vinci Tower".
