The latest craze here in the Philippines would be the group buying websites where one can enjoy a lot of things for less. Imagine getting 50% off on restaurants. It gives you a chance to try out their menu at a lower cost. Also, imagine going to spas and salons carrying discount vouchers. Now you can enjoy them without putting a burn in to your pocket.

Well, the issue now is where do you find these promos? I’m glad you asked because there’s a sight called, thepromoblogger.com that lists all these promos so all you have to do is to visit, browse and click and you will be directed to the appropriate website where you can buy the promo.

So are you ready to try out some great Philippine Promos?

RPG stands for role playing games and I like them because more on the storyline than how it is being played lol.

My list of the best rpg games for psp are here.

Do you know that you can get services such as facials and massages, delicious food at discounted prices when you browse through the Group Buying Websites in the Philippines?

I for my self am a big fan of these Group Buying Websites because of the huge discounts and the chance to try out the services of different places I wouldn’t have known or discovered if it wasn’t for these websites. Try it out! I’m sure you will love these sites!

I already have wordpress installed locally on my computer and tweaking it as I speak. It should be ready to upload when I get my hosting. I’m so excited!

Pros

• A sense of uniqueness or individualism.
• It has more flexibility since you have control of everything.
• It is cool! I can see it now, silkenhut.com, silkenhut.org, silkenhut.net.
• Subdomains – instead of making a new blog for each topic concentration, I can just use subdomains.

Cons

• It costs money!
• There are free web hosts such as blogger and wordpress.com!

So what should I do? ^_^

Anyways, these happened last July 5 where Me, Fatboy, Law, Paxi, Bash and Deryk went to SM Mall of Asia to have fun. It was fatboy’s last day in the Philippines since the next day he will be flying to US.

Our meeting place was in Starbucks Dlsu but our driver, I mean fatboy got stuck in traffic that we got on the car while it was still stuck in front of Mcdo. At that time, it was only Paxi and I and our driver. Bash and Law still have not arrived since they were also stuck in traffic. Deryk is going to Mall of Asia on his own.

In Mall of Asia, Anco, i mean fatboy, bought tickets to the movie transformers to be shown at 610pm. We texted Deryk to hurry up and fatboy told us to play first in Toby’s. We tried the three point shootout thingy and we sucked haha Deryk arrived and also tried playing too. hehe We then hurried to the cinemas, bought some food and watched the movie.

Transformers
It was cool! The cartoons we used to watch when we were still toddlers is now in the front screen! So cool!. and the leading lady is a babe! oh yeah! haha The graphics was very nice ^_^ Worth watching it… my only bad experience in the movie was that I got the last waffle from the box and it was chocolate flavored…Super what the hell flavor.

We tried to play the kart kart thingy fatboy was telling us but the tracks were wet so we just went home instead. Our driver brought each of us right in our doorsteps! So cool!.

Later that night, we played dota in GG. Law slept already while paxi me and fatboy played. Yeah Onij! and the next day, fatboy flew to the US.

It was weird since he told us his flight was 5am and he leaves home at 330am to “deliver” his GF (haha I forgot the word, so i used deliver) and at 430 he goes to the airport. How the hell can he ride the plane if his flight is really 5am and he arrives there at 430am? haha

I noticed that if i upload the whole chapter intact, it would take a long time for people to browse through it and it would seem better than they just downloaded it so I tried searching for solutions to lessen the file sizes without losing much quality.

Well I am using these softwares – VSO Image resizer and Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP to do my job. ^_^ haha It’s a tedious task but its for the manga fans out there. hehe

This is my methods:

1. If the picture is in PNG format, I will convert it to JPG using VSO Image resizer.
2. Convert all JPG pictures using Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP to 1024×768 resolution (massive drop in file sizes)
3. Upload the pictures to Imageshack using ShellUploader program
4. Copy the direct links from Imageshack to notepad
5. I made a little program that turns direct image links into html (eg. http://image.jpg to  <img src=”http://image.jpg&#8221; border=”0″ alt=”image image”> )
6. I put it into read manga online
