As part of my 24th(?) birthday celebration, I am giving away prizes to select bloggers (people who greeted me yesterday and a few days before) who have been very good friends in the blogosphere for many months now.

Alcohol, Hangover and a Good Morning Bath

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 [...]

Yahoo Merged With Google, Turned Down Microsoft

Yes, dear readers of this site called a weblog, you read it right – (YAHOO + GOOGLE) = (YAHOO – MICROSOFT). You got the math? If not, then sorry. I’m sorry because the dream team of many bloggers (YAHOO + MICROSOFT) will not happen anymore.  The matrimony between the two search engine moguls has been [...]

Staying Up Late at Night Can Cause Acne and Other Skin Problems

Staying up late at night (reviewing for the exam, working overtime on a project or even blogging till the wee hours in the morning) can cause acne and skin problems. I have observed this in me and my former classmates in college. My wife also develops acne whenever she stays up all night. [...]

How’s My New Blog Design?

I was thinking of changing this blog’s design but I changed my other blogs’ themes instead. One of which is www.blog2learn.com which I changed about a week ago.
For this site, I think I’m going to stick to this theme for a while. I’ve changed so many templates in this theme already and there might [...]

On Free WordPress Themes and Changing WordPress Themes

Changing WordPress themes is very easy. First, download a free WordPress theme that you want (Google for the keyword “Free WordPress Themes” and see how many millions of pages will come up). If your blog is self-hosted, then you could upload the downloaded theme folder to your server vis FTP. In my [...]

Drug Addiction is a Worldwide Health and Social Concern

Drug addiction or substance abuse is not only a problem here in the Philippines. It is a threat to everyone everywhere. It does not only destroy the capability of the drug dependent to think clearly.

Meeting friends online through social networks like Friendster, Myspace and Facebook is truly cool. In fact, I frequent my Friendster account every now and then but I don’t stay long. Recently, my login time is 5 minutes max just to check who viewed my profile and sent me messages through its messaging system.
