A Love Story in Facebook

A friend of mine told me to follow the link she shared on facebook. She says it's cute. So I looked at it and see if it's really cute. I found out that it was an article describing two people with the same name that met at facebook, fell in love, became lovers, and are now getting married. See the whole story with the link I provided. Cute isn't it?

There's More In Life Than Just a Fancy Heartbreak: Chapter 1

"I cried today... not because I miss you... or even wanted you... but because I realized I'm gonna be all right without you."

Found this quote in one of the sites I've visited today. I like it because I can relate with it. I just had a heartbreak. Yes, I was wounded and currently healing my self with the help of those people who truly loves me.

As we all know, heartbreaks are normal. They are part of our lives and all human beings will experience them. Once, twice, or a couple of times, a human will get its heart broken. It comes in many different ways and for a lot of reasons. We can't escape from it but we can overcome it.

I will not talk about the feeling of having a heartbreak. That's not my goal here. My goal is to let people know that there is more in life than just a fancy heartbreak. What happens when a person has a broken heart? That person tends to look at life in a negative way. Feels pain and anger towards self or towards the ex-lover. Suddenly asks questions of why and how. And that person regrets, filling his/her mind with numerous what if's. But hey! Wake up! No matter how much you hate, or cry each night, or grieve, you can't bring his/her back. You can't have everything back the way it used to be. So better stop whining and start living!

Today, I had one of those moments in life that makes living worthwhile. I was with my friends. These people are the ones that helped me. And thanks to them, I began to see again the beauty of life and they made me realize that weeping my heart out is not worth the effort for this stupid heartbreak.

Dusty Guitar

It's been a long day.. I'm tired, stressed and exhausted. I sat on our sofa and saw my guitar leaning on the wall near the window. ... My dusty old guitar. It's been a while that I haven't played it. I wonder, if my guitar could talk, will it mock at me and scold me for not using it? Seeing my dusty old guitar made me wanna play it again.. So I got up, picked my guitar and cleaned it. Then I played a song that I can never forget.. I felt relaxed and calm. My dusty old guitar rescued me from my shattered situation. It's always nice to go back to the first things that interest you most... like me, playing my dusty old guitar.

The Requirement: Role of a Ninang

Filipinos have lots of traditions. One of it is having a "ninong" and "ninang" or Godparents during a child's baptismal. Mostly, the godparents are those you are closest to the parents, it may be a relative or a friend. What are the roles of these godparents? Do a child really need to have them?

Actually, godparents are more famous with Christians. A child having plenty of godparents is considered lucky indeed. Plenty of godparents means abundance in gifts during birthdays and Christmas. Also, godparents serves as the child's second parent. They are there to help the parents mold and guide the child as it grows up. They also extend a helping hand whenever the child have problems that parents couldn't handle. And they are an extension to the family, the more the merrier. You must be wondering why I am talking about grandparents here. Plainly because I am one of them.


This coming July 20 (Monday), I am going to attend a birthday celebration of my "inaanak" or god-child. My god-child is a girl and she is turning 1 year old. It's her first birthday and a gift is a must. Until now, I haven't bought a gift yet! I don't know what to buy. I got no brilliant idea in my mind. I want to buy something she could usefully use. This is the problem that I have been trying to resolve for quiet some time. I must go there with a gift, it's a requirement, or else the child's mother is going to kill me. Oh well, I guess I still have tomorrow to pick up a gift.

Distress of the Unemployed

Here I am waiting for an email from a possible employer. I have been frantically eager opening my emails these past few days and see if there's a reply. But on my dismay there was none. This is my distress. The distress of an unemployed.

I have been looking for a job ever since I figured out that I don't have anything much to do at school. I am now just currently finishing my thesis and I have lots of extra hours doing nothing. A home based or part time job would be great. There were a few opportunities that knocked my door but they all didn't worked out for me.

I need a job. I need money to provide my personal necessities and I can't ask for it from my mother because obviously she won't give me as much money now as to when I was still a full-time student. I need to be productive. I haven't done anything much these past few weeks and I kinda want to feel busy. Also, my life is getting boring! It's nice to relax and do nothing for a while but not for a long period of time.

May a miracle happen. Can anyone recommend me for a job?!

2NE1: with Sandara Park

Who would forget the Pambansang Krung-Krung nga Pilipinas? Yes, I am referring to Sandara Park, the second placer of the first season of Star Circle Quest, ABS - CBN. She then became famous in the film industry. After a while, she went back to Korea to be with her family and to her home country.

Where's Sandara now? I have recently found out that she is now part of the group called 2NE1. A famous singing group in Korea composing of four lovely girls. And Sandara carries the name Dara in that group.

Here are some videos of 2NE1 I found in youtube.





Dara is so cute!

Computers: A Health Hazard

As an IT student, I spend most of my time in front of my computer. I do chatting, researching, playing games, programming, and other stuffs that could be done. I can do a lots of things, lots of work, and somehow gain money by just sitting plenty of hours in my computer. But is this wise? Doesn't it give lots of health risk? A little article reading online gave me some answers.

Using the computer for long hours gives us these following bad health side effects;

(1) Self Posture and Muscular Tension
(2) Breathing Manner and Blood Circulation
(3) Radiation
(4) Eye Health
(5) Digestive System


Self Posture and Muscular Tension. Sitting long hours in our computer lets us move minimally. Just our fingers and wrist constantly moving or a little slouching and leaning on our chair. This can have a direct effect on our spine and leads to muscular tension that may affect us for the rest of our lives.

Breathing Manner and Blood Circulation. Staying still for a long period of time slows down our breathing manner, minimizing our oxygen intake. This leads to minimal oxygen circulation in our blood affecting our brain, muscles, and major organs. As a result, our bodies and brains are incapable of working in their maximum level. It affects everything including headaches, low sickness immunity, mental inefficiency, physical fitness, and our hearts.

Radiation. Radiation emitted by our computer screen is not good, especially if we are exposed for long period of time.

Eye Health. Our eyes are designed to look for different shapes, colors, and angles. In able to practice these can lead to serious eye damage.

Digestive System. Food digestion is a major activity in our body. Food will have to be properly digested for better circulation of supplements. Our digestive muscles should be able to work freely. Eating in front of the computer is not suggested.

Knowing all these risks, how can we keep things in balance and maintain a good health? First and foremost, try to stand up and stretch for 10-15 minutes per hour. Flex your body and your muscles. Try to move more, even dance if you could. Second, take deep breathes while you're working. When you're at your break, loosen up your lungs and let your blood be filled with oxygen. Third, let your eyes look far for a moment, and let it rest as well. Let it see other things besides your monitor. Fourth, drink regularly. Always keep a bottle of fresh water in your desk. And lastly, don't forget to take regular breaks. Breathe some fresh air, walk around, and relax your mind.

After all these readings I realized that no matter how good you are with computers, no matter how fast you work when you're using it, it's always nice to have a habit of taking care of your health. What will you do with all your money if you're a sickly person? Spend it all for cure? Be health wise.

A cup of Coffee a day keeps diseases away!

I'm a coffee drinker. I drink around 2-3 cups a day. My friends always scold me because of my drinking habit, as they say, it's bad for me. They are blaming coffee for my bad manner of always forgetting things. And so I tried to do some research. Is coffee really bad for my health? Is my drinking too much that I should reduce it?

I scanned a couple of articles in Google regarding coffee and health. I found out that moderate drinking of coffee, which is around 2-5 cups a day, leads to many health benefits. Yes, coffee leads to many health benefits.

Coffee does have some bad effects but studies shows that it is more beneficial than harmful. By drinking at least two cups of coffee a day, it reduces the risk of having Parkinson's Disease, Colon Cancer, Liver Cirrhosis, and Gallstones. Research also reveals that the caffeine content of coffee plays a great part in this benefits. It shows that the greater the caffeine content, the higher it gives direct risk reduction.

It is not only caffeine that contributes to these wide range of advantages. Coffee also contains antioxidants which reduces diabetes risk. It also composes of a compound known as "trigonelline" which gives the bitter taste and aroma, as well as being responsible for giving coffee the capability to help prevent dental cavities from forming.

Giving all these favors, of course, it is still unwise to drink a large amount of coffee everyday. Anything that's too much is an abuse to our body and to our health. Excessive drinking may lead to nervousness, jitters, and rapid heartbeat.

As for me, a moderate drinker, I don't have to worry much about my drinking habit. Now, I have proof to my friends that my memory lose is not to be blamed with coffee. Perhaps another factor affects it.

Google Chrome OS : What's the catch?

Google recently announces its new project the Google Chrome OS.

"Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve."

Back at Blogging here in Blogspot

Good day everyone! I'm back here in my blogspot account. It's been a while that I haven't posted. Well, maybe because blogging is not really my passion but a past time. And for these few weeks, I have been so busy that I was not able to add new posts.

For this post, I'd like to share a tragic incident that happened in our city, Iligan City. A bomb exploded yesterday, July 7, 2009, around 10:30 am. Police report states that it was hidden inside a car and later on exploded damaging nearby citizens including an army vehicle that was passing by the area. Reports also confirmed that there is death and many got injured. The investigation team of this bombing is considering that this has a relation with the earlier bombing in Julu, Solo that same day.
