Should Endosulfan Be Banned in the Philippines Considering Its Effects on the Environment?

After Manny Pacquiao won the WBC Lightweight Championship title against David Diaz yesterday (June 29,2008), some of us Filipinos may still feel depressed with the reality that the effects of Typhoon Frank are still felt these days especially in Iloilo and Romblon where MV Princess of the Stars sank. The sinking of this marine vehicle [...]

Pacquiao-Diaz Fight Result: Manny Pacquiao Knocks Out David Diaz!

The Pacquiao-Diaz fight labeled as “Lethal Combination” is over and my earlier predictions about the match between Manny Pacquiao vs. David Diaz were true: Pacquiao won over Diaz via knockout (in the 9th round) and Pacman was really aggressive right from the very beginning of the fight. The win was well-deserved and he’s no [...]

Manny Pacquiao or David Diaz on Lethal Combination?

The Pacquiao-Diaz fight result could end up in a knockout. Pacquiao is a knockout artist and so is Diaz. They both have knockout powers in their hands and Manny’s current state on TV seems like he’s ready for the WBC Lightweight championship match titled “Lethal Combination” in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday (8am [...]

Maria Sharapova’s Elimination from Wimbledon Broke My Heart

The Australian Tennis Open champion, Maria Sharapova, was eliminated from the Wimbledon championship tournament last night (Philippine time). I’ve watched Sharapova’s match against Alla Kudryavtseva (rank 154th in the world) very late last night and I was devastated when she lost. Her loss to a fellow Russian tennis player in the second round of [...]

Business Promotion Using Trade Show Booths, Graphics and Accessories

As an offline businessman, some of the tools I employ in promoting my printing business are: 1) giving away free samples of our products - printed t-shirts, PVC ID’s & graphic designs and 2) distribution of leaflets. I have established my printing business from scratch. I crawled and scratched my way to where [...]

Typhoon Frank Hit Visayas Hard

Typhoon Frank is already outside the Philippine territory but its mark will always be embedded in the memories of those who were affected especially those in Jaro, Iloilo. Typhoon Frank really hit the heart of Visayas so hard I can’t even imagine myself being in those people’s shoes while watching them (victims) on TV.

Health and Home Tip: Always Keep Your Bathroom Clean

Your bathroom and/or comfort room could mean so much to you and your family’s health. It is perhaps the most common source of bacteria and viruses inside the home. Hence, you should always clean it with the right tools and disinfectants like Lysol.
As part of my daily routine, I do the cleaning of [...]

Mood Swings, Writing Well and Making Money Online

This is my fourth post in this blog for this day alone. I’m making use of time wisely because I’m only renting a PC at an internet cafe (again). I can’t bloghop yet at the moment because of time constraints. I have asked in my other blog before the question “How Many [...]

Watch Wimbledon Live Online

Wimbledon is the most prestigious tennis championship in the world and for the record, the oldest. Wimbledon has immortalized the names of John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Martina Hingis, the hot and sexy Anna Kournikova (my all-time favorite) and many more. Up and coming superstars include my tournament favorite at [...]

PAGASA’s Weather Reporting is Erroneous and Inaccurate

The inaccuracy of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is truly unbelievable. I was watching the news last night and their alleged satellite video of typhoon Frank shows that Ilocos Norte was flagged as Signal number 2 where in fact there’s no raindrop or morning dew in this province for [...]

How to Recover Your Data Without Breaking Your Hard Drive in Frustration

My old hard disk problems are here again - my hard drive’s data are lost due to bursts of short power outages here in Ilocos Norte because of weather conditions. Now, it’s become my problem again to recover my hard drive data which will consume so much of my time and energy. Hard [...]

Filipino Nurses as Caregivers Abroad

The movie of Sharon Cuneta “Caregiver” perfectly depicts the life and frustrations of Filipino caregivers abroad. Most of our caregivers are nurses or nursing graduates, in case you didn’t know. I haven’t seen Sharon Cuneta’s movie and this is not going to be an article about showbiz or movies.  It’s about Pinoys abroad [...]

Alcohol, Hangover and a Good Morning Bath

Too much alcohol in the body can make your head spin, hence the origin of the word “hangover”. People during the ancient times observed that when they drink too much wine or rum, they hang their heads over their boats, the railings of their homes, veranda or porch.
To reduce dizziness when the body takes [...]

Stress and My Old Nemesis - Renewal of Driver’s License

I’m renewing my driver’s license today and you know what, this has a terrible health implication on my part. Not only will I not be able to blog till 5pm today but anticipating the stress I can derive from falling in a long line standing up (of course!) is already killing me. In [...]

Mozilla Firefox 3 Download Is Slow and File is Corrupted

A while ago, I posted about the Firefox 3 download in progress and how I intend to test it for others’ benefit. Sad to say, the download speed of the English version is slow and it took me hours to download the file 5 times because the installer is corrupted. The release date [...]

Firefox 3 Release Date is Today

Firefox 3 release date is today (June 17) but up to this hour I am still seeing the release candidate (RC) version of Firefox. I thought the official release is the one going out today ready for download. I have been using Firefox for more than 5 years now and though I love [...]
