			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just cant stop laughing when i saw this clip, Ben is really awesome&#8230; Every year, either Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller makes an appearance and bring something zany at the Awards Night&#8230; This is one of the best.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/stiller1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-451" title="stiller1" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/stiller1-300x138.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="138" /></a></p>
<p>He presented the Achievement in Makeup award as a Na’vi from James Cameron’s <em>Avatar</em>. He heckled James Cameron a bit because of Jimmy’s thin blue skin) and made a funny Spock quip. Definitely one of the highlights of the night.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summertime is here, cannot imagine how hot it is now&#8230; for the past 2 days the temp was 34<strong>°</strong>C  Hi and 25<strong>°</strong>C Lo and this will tend to increase for the next weeks&#8230;  Before when i was young, i usually hear my grand parents during this time of the year, &#8220;its now summer and it will be hot&#8221; but nowadays, whenever it is summer and it is really hot&#8230; it&#8217;s now called &#8220;EL NIÑO&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>An El Niño is a temporary change in the climate of the Pacific ocean, in the region around the equator, an abnormal warming of surface ocean water, its effect, a complete reversal of trade winds bringing torrential rain, flooding and mudslides to the usually dry coastal areas and a collapse of monsoons which can bring severe drought. The phenomenon also causes severe weather disturbances around the world.</p>
<p>For most of us, summertime is the best time of the year, vacation, break  for students, sunny day and most of the all, the beaches! its is the time of the year when the weather is really good and can enjoy the splashing waters of the sea&#8230; I do hope i have the time to visit one this summer just to enjoy, relax and have a summer fun time!</p>
<p>Here are my top 10 beaches to visit in the Philippines.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Anawangin Beach (Zambales) </strong>- if you like  camping, boat ride, adventure, mountain climbing and a touch of  united states view, this is the place to be&#8230;   I was here last year and really enjoyed the view.  Check my post <a title="Anawangin Adventures" href="http://www.nhansense.com/anawangin-adventures/">here</a>. Spending your summertime here is cheap and you will definitely enjoy the island hoping and the mountain views.  You can either do a trail hike to the campsite and beach front or have a 45 minute boat ride.  Just setup your tent and do whatever you like.  Be sure you have a complete set of outdoor gears as there are no electricity, no hotel rooms, no convenience stores.  And lastly, never go there if the weather is bad&#8230; just a tip!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/anawanginview1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-434" title="anawanginview1" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/anawanginview1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">9. <strong>Siargao (Surigao del Norte) </strong>- For all you surfers out there, you might want to check this out.  a tropical island that hosts one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and home of wave surfing. The island offers huge waves that can curl up to 12 feet and the breath-taking white sand beaches that still remains unspoiled by urban lifestyle.  September to November is the best time for surfing and every year a surfing competition is held here. Check out their site <a title="Siargao" href="http://www.siargao.com/">here</a>.<span id="more-433"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/0007.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-435" title="0007" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/0007.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="336" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">8. <strong>Dakak (Zamboanga del Norte in Mindanao<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"> </span></strong><strong>)- </strong>Dakak Park Beach Resort is located near the provinces of Cebu and Dumaguete. It is situated exactly in Barangay Taguilon, City of Dapitan, 15 minutes away from our national hero Jose Rizal&#8217;s place in exile. Dipolog City is used as the point of entry.  One of the proud beaches in the philippines that has great white sands that is compared to powder.  Natural spring water and tumbling waterfalls feed their resort&#8217;s pool, whilst providing the ultimate hideway at a private open air jacuzzi where you can relax in the sauna and whirlpool amidst an atmosphere of blissfulsolitary refinement. Spend your days on a neon sailboard weaving skillfully among the masts, waterski on calm turquoise seas or discover vibrant marine life in crystal clear waters!  The resort&#8217;s Aqua Sport Centre becomes a mecca for watersport enthusiasts and for divers, the ultimate diving experience awaits as you explore Dakak&#8217;s many nearby coral reefs.</p>

In this pristine setting, you&#8217;ll find not only hot springs  To soothe your body but also the clear pool and cold spring of Sto. Nino. The stunning Katibawasan Falls and hiking trails to thrill your senses. The spectacular 250-foot falls (76 m.) cascades down to a pool surrounded by orchids and ferns. Located 4 kms. from Mambajao. This is also the favorite jump-off point for trekkers and mountaineers in search of adventure in the slopes of Mt. Hibok-Hibok. They say.. &#8220;A peaceful dreamland awaits you on Camiguin&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/camiguin.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-440" title="camiguin" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/camiguin.jpg" alt="" width="486" height="364" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3. <strong>Panglao Island (Bohol) &#8211; </strong>is an island in the Philippines located in the Central Visayas, One of the best spot in the island is Alona beach resort, the ideal destination for every tourist&#8217;s dream vacation.  It is said that the Spanish explorers who came to this island in 1803 named it Panglao after the world &#8216;mapanglao&#8217;, meaning &#8216;lonesome place&#8217;.   The perfect getaway from the clutter of the urban jungle. Quite and Very relaxing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/panglao.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-441" title="panglao" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/panglao.jpg" alt="" width="483" height="321" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2. <strong>Pagudpud(Ilocos Norte) &#8211; </strong>Usually called as the &#8220;haven in the north&#8221;, From fine, white sandy beaches to remarkable cliffs and hidden waterfalls, Pagudpud remains to be a vivid example of a true tropical paradise of Northern Philippines. Aside from the stunning beaches, Pagudpud offers a lot of other attractions as well. The waterfalls of Kabigan and Saguigui on Barangay Balaoi are quite dramatic. Kabigan Falls is 80 feet surrounded by lush forest and a concave basin and practically reminds us of those picturesque waterfalls of the jungles of the Caribbean while Saguigui Falls is a smaller waterfall and very hard to get to.   Pagudpud is a beach-bummer’s beach – simple and spectacular.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Pagudpud_Beach.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-443" title="Pagudpud_Beach" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Pagudpud_Beach.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="341" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">1. <strong>Boracay (Panay Islands) &#8211; </strong>yes, the top choice&#8230; has always been the favorite place of beach goers to go in the Philippines. This is because of the great white sand and cool waters, plus the night life&#8230;.  Years ago, Boracay Island was a well-guarded secret, almost possessively so that only a few knew of its existence.<br />
It was only in the 70s when, it is said, a foreign movie crew accidentally &#8220;discovered&#8221; this island paradise. Others maintain that it was the German traveler, &#8216;Jens Peters&#8217; book, which included rave reviews of Boracay that changed the island’s pace from that of being a quiet secret to eventually being voted as having the best beach in the world.<br />
Whichever story is true, it was around this time that Boracay Island slowly ceased to be a private travelers hangout and eventually became one of the major tourist destinations in the Philippines.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/boracay.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-444" title="boracay" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/boracay.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="381" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">I know that there are still some other beaches out there that has not been discovered and is not included in the list.  Philippines is composed of 7,107 island during High tide and 7 of them disappears during low tide. I have been to some of these islands that are not open commercially and they are one heck of a work by mother nature. Really&#8230; Awesome!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Have you been to these beaches? Share some of your thoughts&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyday, before the sun shines, farmers toil their lands, plant seeds and harvest crops, then sell them at the market place.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, the gang meet for a mob scheme&#8230; then at night a round of poker!  These run in the world on facebook social gaming&#8230;though unreal, these apps let people play with their friends, interact with them and continuously leveling up for prestige and glory&#8230; as some would say&#8230;</p>
<p>I used to play Mafia wars, Farm Town and Restaurant City and i find these games very amusing as well as addicting&#8230; Since my old facebook account is gone.. i stopped playing, now focusing on other ideas&#8230;.</p>
<p>For Zynga founder Mark Pincus, the formula for gaming success on Facebook  and other sites was as simple as it might seem counter-intuitive: create simple games that people like but can easily set aside.</p>
<p>&#8220;We built the games so they could be played in a tab on your browser while you&#8217;re on a conference call,&#8221; said Pincus, a veteran Web entrepreneur who created Zynga in 2007.</p>
<p><strong>Top 5 Facebook Games</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Farmville</strong> &#8211; One of Zynga&#8217;s top title.  A kind of game wherein you can <a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/02/farmville.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px;" title="farmville" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/02/farmville-300x229.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="127" /></a>grow delicious fruits and vegetables and raise adorable animals on your very own farm.  My Nephew and Niece, kenneth and Kyla as well as my Bee are also addicted in this game&#8230;  I still like the looks of farmtown compared to this game&#8230;<span id="more-413"></span></li>
<li><strong>Mafia Wars &#8211; </strong>One of the games that i got addicted, (its a good thing <a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mafiawars.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-418" style="margin: 10px;" title="mafiawars" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mafiawars-300x229.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="148" /></a>that i screwed up my old facebook account) A popular game by Zynga that allows the player do and master jobs in order to earn cash and gain experience with the goal of strengthening, establishing and advancing once status and becoming the ultimate mafia.  By sending requests to your facebook friends, one can gain control and expand your family and fight other mobsters. I miss playing the game&#8230; but its annoying that you would start all over again. I think i already leveled up to 200 when i was playing it.</li>
<li><strong>Texas HoldEm Poker</strong> &#8211; For all poker enthusiasts and gamers, this <a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/poker.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-420" style="margin: 10px;" title="poker" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/poker-300x287.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="190" /></a>one is for you&#8230; individuals compete for an amount of money or cloths contributed by the players themselves called pots. Because the cards are dealt randomly and outside the control of the players, each player attempts to control the amount of money in the pot based on the hand the player holds. I&#8217;m not into this game but since the popularity of poker in the world, this game got lots of attention.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Restaurant City &#8211; </strong>created by <a title="PlayFish - Restaurant City" href="http://www.playfish.com/?page=game_restaurant" target="_blank">Playfish</a>, one of the games i got addicted, i remember my brother-in-law warren, who usually sleeps beside his laptop and wakes up every 2 hours just to check his crew if they are still alive.  In this game you may experience working and managing a restaurant employ your friends and family to work for you either a chef, a waiter or a janitor&#8230; (If you are annoyed with someone hire him and let him work as janitor.. hehehehe).  And with lots of options and decorations you can create your restaurant unique from others.<a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/rc.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-421" title="rc" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/rc-300x161.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="161" /></a></li>
<li><strong>Fishville &#8211; </strong>Another game released by Zynga, its like an underwater <a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/fishville.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-422" title="fishville" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/fishville.jpg" alt="" width="188" height="82" /></a>farmville wherein you will start with a few fish in a virtual aquarium, feed them, take care of them, harvest them and sell them to acquire new fish eggs. Not much interested on this game but my Nephew and Neice is also addicted to this game.</li>
</ol>
<p>Do you play these games? or Am i missing out something&#8230;?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/blindside.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-405" style="margin: 10px;" title="blindside" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/blindside-226x300.jpg" alt="" width="226" height="300" /></a>Late afternoon yesterday, after having a ride with my new toy, just laid back for a while and watched the movie &#8220;The Blind Side&#8221; starred by Sandra Bullock.</p>
<p>The story depicts the life of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American kid who is a product of a broken home, taken cared of and adopted by the Touhy&#8217;s, a rich white family who helped him unlock his full potential. Oher became the 2009 NFL draft playing as an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens.</p>
<p>For 17 years, Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) has been in foster care with different families.  Everytime he is sent to a new home, he usually runs away, feeling lonely and depressed. His fathers friend enrolled &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; in a christian school after the father convinces the coach that he is a natural athlete.   <span id="more-404"></span></p>
<p>At Wingate Christian School ( a fictional representation of Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis Tenessee ), &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; met SJ, the son of Leigh Anne Touhy.  One night, the family saw &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; strolling in the park, shivering  in the cold.  Leigh Anne pities his situation and offered &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; a place to stay.  The next morning, much to Leigh Anne&#8217;s dismay, He saw the bed sheets properly folded and saw &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; walking out to the driveway.  She then offered him if he could stay for thanksgiving, which he did.  From then on, &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; slowly became part of the family and got close with SJ and Lily.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/blind.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-411" title="blind" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/blind-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>With Leigh Anne&#8217;s kind heart, She then enrolled &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; to school and discovered that He has a 98th percentile in &#8220;protective instinct&#8221; but low in every aspect.  They decided to join him in football to have scholarship but needs to have a 2.5 GPA.  Due to his enormous size and titanic strength, he catched the eyes of every football coach.</p>
<p>Leigh Anne hired a private tutor for him to raise his grades and with the help and support of the teachers, the did succeed&#8230; Big Mike got 2.52 GPA.</p>
<p>The only conflict in the story is the time when the NCAA called Big Mike the same time he is about to choose the school wherein he is going to play, the organization suspected that the Tuohy&#8217;s forced Michael to select Mississippi, rather than Tennessee, his home-state team. But everything was resolved.</p>
<p>The film ends with the 2009 NFL Draft, showing the real-life Michael Oher being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.</p>
<p><strong>REACTIONS:</strong></p>
<p>The only thing i find anoying in the movie is that i have not heard &#8220;Big Mike&#8221; say thanks to the Touhy&#8217;s.  Yet i find the movie amusing and with moral values.  Sometimes in life, it takes someone or another factor that brings out the best in a person.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/The-Blind-Side1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-410" title="nOhur1.jpg" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/The-Blind-Side1-300x286.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>I would rate the movie 4 stars.. Since the movie &#8220;Speed&#8221; and &#8220;The Net&#8221;, i loved Sandra Bullock, some signs of ageing yes but still she have those cute smile and a nice b***.  Try to watch the movie and see what i mean&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to wikepedia, a blog or the short term for web blog is a type of website usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of comments, description of events or other materials such as photos or videos.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/blog.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-390" style="margin: 10px;" title="blog" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/blog-300x245.gif" alt="" width="192" height="156" /></a>Many blogs provide information on a particular topic, a good subject and some mostly used as an online diary. It is usually a combination of text, videos and photos related to the said topic.</p>
<p><strong>But what are the main resons why people blog?</strong></p>
<p>Determining the goal why you need to blog is one of the most important thing in th field. This will determine the success of your blog and your survival.</p>
<p>Most of the new aspirant bloggers tend to start eagerly, writing topics as often as possible, touching different subjects without knowing and planning how their blog would succeed.<span id="more-389"></span></p>
<p>Currently, im into social networking and i have learned so much from the training.  Below are some reasons why people blog.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>To have fun and share ideas</strong> &#8211; one of the reasons i blog, to have fun and share my thoughts and opinions.  Some people i knew does not have the access nor the resources to find something interesting, especially on the topics they are interested in, whether it is a good movie, a new music album, latest happenings, some motivational story, technical stuff, tutorials  and other information. Though i am starting in this field, that is one of my goals, so hopefully in the near future i may be able to provide information as well as knowledge to impart on every visitors.</li>
<li><strong>To connect with people &#8211; </strong>one way to gain friends is through blogging, i admit i gained a couple of them like <a href="http://www.nothingbutrandom.com">zxt</a>, <a href="http://www.wchingya.com">chingya</a>, <a href="http://www.lemback.com">marlene</a>, <a href="http://www.amorfrancis.com">amor</a>, <a href="http://www.writingthoughts.com">laura</a>, <a href="http://www.sitesketch101.com">Nick</a>, <a href="http://www.extremejohn.com">John</a>, <a href="http://www.renzcentral.com">Renz</a>, <a href="http://izzataziz.net/blog/">Izzat Aziz</a>, <a href="http://kelvinonianideas/">kelvin</a> and many others.  I enjoy reading their articles, gain knowledge and have fun&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>To market and promote something &#8211; </strong>Many blog sites i visit usually promote something or advertise their business and i agree that it is one of the cheapest form of marketing reaching millions of people. Using facebook, creating fan pages, and tweet infos are some of the strategies.  Most companies in the US now gain sales coming from social networking sites and Twitter.</li>
<li><strong>To establish yourself as expert in your industry &#8211; </strong>One way to share your knowledge to everyone is blog what you know, some individuals/industries provide information to their customers and visitors showing their say.  <a href="http://www.intelletrace.com"><strong>Intelletrace</strong></a>, one of the experts when it comes to providing data and internet all through out the US and internationally is an example.   <strong><a href="http://ceoblog.intelletrace.com/">Marc Alciati</a></strong>, the CEO of the company and <strong><a href="http://techblog.intelletrace.com/">Dean Zerbe</a></strong>, the VP usually take a time out after a stressing day in the telecom world to write about something, establishing their business as well as giving some thoughts.</li>
<li><strong>To earn online</strong> &#8211; i have met several bloggers out there really earning online.  Most of their niche&#8217;s are giving some tips on &#8220;how to earn online&#8221; and what they say is indeed true. Using affiliates, banners, tweets, PPC&#8217;s and referrals are some of the strategies, Some are even hired to write something on a certain product just to promote their business.  I have done some yet my earnings are still small <img src='http://www.nhansense.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<p>There are still other reasons why people blog and it takes a lot of patience, study, determination, creativity and the will to be successful.  Let us not be discouraged of failures, we should learn from it because  that’s where we  will find success!</p>
<p>So what are your reasons?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Apple" href="http://www.apple.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Apple</strong></a> has come up with a phenomenal device this 2010.  The new <a title="Apple Ipad" href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/" target="_blank"><strong>IPad</strong></a>, Apple has once again built a product that looks good and feels great in the hand, and the familiar user interface, simillar to iPhone and iPod touch, that comes with a wider screen for your viewing pleasure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ipad2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-227 alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" title="ipad2" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ipad2-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" /></a>At first, i am not impressed with this device as I am not an Apple user, (I am a blackberry geek) but this device really got my attention as it seems to be a killer of those Netbooks in the market today.  You know why? because of its features&#8230; Just finished watching the keynote presentation of Steve Jobs on this device and somehow&#8230; I am starting to love apple!</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, <a title="Apple" href="http://www.apple.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Apple</strong></a> has just sold 250 million Ipods, establishing 284 retail App stores having 3 billion Apps downloaded all for Ipod and ITouch and this is world wide! Not to say their revenue earning to 50 billion dollars a year. They are much larger than Sony, Samsung and Even Nokia as Apple is now considered the Top Mobile Devices Company&#8230; IPods + IPhones + Mac = 50 Billion&#8230;.. and that is amazing!</p>
<p>Way back 1991, Apple has shipped the first Power Book, and if i remember it right it has this Trackball but with a modern TFT screen. 2007 thay have reinvented Mobile phones and a few years later, The Iphone 3GS.</p>
<p>Now this 2010, <a title="Apple" href="http://www.apple.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Apple</strong></a> came up with a third Category on the mobile device, something in between, common for our everyday tasks, something that is much better and more intimate than a Laptop and more capable than a smart phone.<span id="more-204"></span></p>

</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ipad.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-203" style="margin: 10px;" title="ipad" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ipad-300x280.jpg" alt="" width="188" height="174" /></a>As for the 3rd Party applications, they have released an SDK for developers to have a framework for them to create and develop apps, and they have also included a simulator for them to run their apps on the <a title="Macintosh" href="http://www.apple.com/mac/">Macs</a>.  <a title="GameLoft" href="http://www.gameloft.com/" target="_blank">Gameloft</a>,<a title="EA Games" href="http://www.ea.com/" target="_blank">EA Games</a>,<a title="New York Times" href="http://www.nytimes.com/" target="_blank"> New York Times</a>, <a title="MLB.com" href="http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp" target="_blank">MLB.com</a> have joined forces to help and promote IPad by creating applications suitable for this device. And for your busines pleasure, you can have IWorks, saw on the presentation, there is this unique auto wrap up feature that is really cool.</p>
<p>Another thing I enjoyed on the presentation was when they actually did a simulation for <a title="EA Games" href="http://www.ea.com/" target="_blank">EA Games</a>, <a title="Need for Speed Shift" href="http://www.ea.com/games/need-for-speed-shift?nostats=true" target="_blank">Need for Speed Shift</a> and all i can say was <strong>spectacular</strong>!

<p>SO what do you think of this device? a Hype or Just a Fad? But i really do admire the marketing strategies of<a title="Apple" href="http://www.apple.com/" target="_blank"><strong> Apple</strong></a>, and Somehow, I&#8217;m thinking of getting one&#8230; Hmmm&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Inmates of <strong><a title="CPDRC" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cebu_Provincial_Detention_and_Rehabilitation_Center" target="_blank">Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center</a> </strong>(CPDRC), a maximum security prison in the province of Cebu of the Philipines, did it again.  Together with <a title="Travis Payne" href="http://www.travispayne.net/" target="_blank"><strong>Travis Payne</strong></a>, Michael Jackson&#8217;s long-time choreographer, danced to the tune of &#8220;This is It!&#8221; a tribute to the late King of Pop.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/inmates.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-229" style="margin: 10px;" title="inmates" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/inmates-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="170" /></a>The video was last uploaded on the 22nd of January 2010 and up to date, it has generated 1,170,386 views and still counting.  The inmates of cebu started dancing to Michael Jackson&#8217;s songs way back 2007, one showing the phenomenal success of &#8220;Thriller&#8221;, which rocked the youtube world, worldwide as this is one of a kind.  It is such a great discipline for these inmates proving that even behind bars, they can do something worthwhile. it would have been so awesome if the King of Pop rendered it himself.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/dancing-inmates-of-cebu-this-is-it/">watch the video here&#8230;.</a><span id="more-198"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mKtdTJP_GUI&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mKtdTJP_GUI&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Warden Byron Garcia who lead the introduction commanding the group &#8220;attention!&#8221; really gave some hightlights on the video.   One thing that supposed to be they should have done was the inmates wearing white globes, to give highlights on the waving of hands&#8230; i remembered our ROTC days&#8230;. Anyways, I like how the dance was choreographed, the formation and the peace sign! Really Awesome! I&#8217;m proud to be pinoy!</p>
<p>What can you say about the inmates? Are they good or what?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remebering the days of  College life, the homeworks, the projects, the thesis, the gimmicks, the fun and  the circle of friends we have. Sometimes, we cant help but reminisce those  moments and wish that we could turn back time, either to change something or do  something&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/college.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-231 aligncenter" title="college" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/college-300x143.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="143" /></a></p>
<p>Somehow it has been considered as a four or five year struggle with books,  strict professors, never ending projects, quizes and other stressful activities  that molded us as a person today. A symbol of complete freedom and  Self-Discovery&#8230;.But we know that all of those things made us what we are now,  in this thing called life!</p>
<p>Here are some of the things, the usual lessons we have learned during our  college days&#8230;<span id="more-185"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dealing with Boredom</strong> &#8211; During college, boredom is one of  the things we encounter, and we usually get bored on the tasks given to us. But  since we are free, we can do what ever we want, we can cope up to every boredom  challenges we face as we have those friends that we can influence anytime&#8230;  either to drink, watch a movie, cut classes or do some chick hunting.  But  still, there are priorities that needs to be set during college and that is the  time we decide for ourselves, do we need to be a happy-go-lucky person?   Nowadays, when you are working, boredome should not be the key to be  irresponsible on your work.  If you are bored with your job, you always have a  choice to look for another or just stay bored all the time&#8230;<a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bored.jpg"></a></li>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bored.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-232" title="bored" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bored.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="219" /></a></p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Living on Tough Spaces</strong> &#8211; I remembered when i was in  college, i only have 50 bucks to spend for the whole day, 30 bucks for the fare  and 20 bucks to be spent for food, i cannot afford to go to dorms during that  time so i need to travel 2-3 hours. I cant imagine how in the world i survived  but I managed to.  Some of us had the chance to live in an apartment or a dorm  near to the school. And most of those people managed to live in tough spaces as  they share the room, they share the toilets, enduring the noise and staying on a  crowded and messy place.. also we need to work and live with people that we  don’t necessarily like, you know how to deal with it, right? That was a college  lesson.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/small.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-233" title="small" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/small.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="206" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Problem Solving/Critical Thinking </strong>- This is one of the best  lessons I have learned during college Days, It was on my Integral Calculus Class  when I was called by my professor to answer the problem, since i was one of his  naughty students i was caught red handed. I have not reviewed at all and have no  idea on the topic, there I was standing in front of the board, squeezing  everything on my mind&#8230;  after almost an hour, the bell rang and there i was,  feeling stupid as my classmates pack their things&#8230; and My Professor just  smiled at me&#8230;. When i got home, i concentrated for a while and said to my  self, i would never be embarrased again&#8230;. Then after a few days&#8230; i got an  almost perfect score on one of our quizzes and my Professor thought that i have  cheated&#8230;. Then the time came when He called me again to answer another  question. Though I am not that prepared, I was able to analyze the problem and  answered it within 15 minutes&#8230;. Its not knowing the question but to think and  analyze for the solution. Not just memorizing the steps but dealing on how to  solve any given task. No matter how you twist and turn the problem, you can  still have the solution.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/thinking.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-234" title="thinking" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/thinking-257x300.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="209" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Social Drinking</strong> &#8211; Almost 90% of people who go to college  never missed any event of social drinking. The modern professional is presented  with plenty of opportunities to have a few pints, pitchers, or cocktails after  work. If you didn’t go to college and learn that there’s always a time and a  place for this type of event, you may not have been able to control yourself.   It is bad to go to work smelling like a &#8220;chico&#8221; or being late with a &#8220;hangover&#8221;  and generally being unproductive..</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/01/drink.jpg"><img title="drink" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/01/drink-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Socializing</strong> &#8211; One of the lessons to be learned when you are  in college&#8230;. is to socialize, you may never know that maybe one of your  classmates would be the next CEO of company or maybe He/She may get a high  position in one of the fields you are at with. Having friends and contacts even  when you are now working improves your life and may gain oppurtunities. A  business partner or even a friend that can help you land a good job.

<li><strong>Managing Finances and Debt </strong>- Not everything we learn in  college is fun, it is really hard to move when you are on a tight budget, so you  need to find a way to save and be wise spending on those branded shirts, cool  shoes and expensive gadgets. Even you are working part-time, it makes things  complicated.  I remembered I worked as a service crew at McDonald&#8217;s during my  college years and the problem I usually encounter is saving extra money. Because  it would be a big problem if i dont have any spare when ever you are 50 miles  away from home and no one to ask for help&#8230;.As an employee now, we need to work  on the credit cards and shopping spree, or else we will fall into big  debt&#8230;</li>

<ul>
<li><strong>Appreciating Vacation -</strong> And here is the fun part..  Vacation, every Semestral Break, you have the time to go out of town with  Friends, go mountain climbing, Sleep over to a friends house and drink till the  break of dawn, with no worries.  We&#8217;ll as long as you think that you wont get a  5 on your classcard after two weeks&#8230; And if you are working now, You would  definitely miss those free time, sleeping all day and watching movies and just  lying in your room&#8230;If you find to be lazy to go to work, you need to file a  leave&#8230; and if you are just making reasons for a sickness, there would still be  hassles along the way&#8230;Get a medical certificate for crying out load.. Unless  you have a doctor in the family.. That would be easy&#8230;.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><strong>Writing and Communication Skills</strong> &#8211; one of the common  problems especially on the IT field, most techies are good on hands-on  application but sometimes worse when it comes to writing and communicating.  One  thing I learned during college days is to speak and somehow write well. I never  had a doubt that I would be using these skills if i&#8217;d be working for a good  company and indeed it paid off&#8230;:)</li>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/writing.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-239" title="writing" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/writing.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="167" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Time Management </strong>- This is a very important lesson, When in  college or even on the secondary and primary school days, we are being trained  not to be late and do things in an organized manner. If our class starts at 7am,  then we plan things 2 or 3 hours before considering the distance and preparation  we need to do. Same when we are now an employee.  When our time is 7am, we  should be responsible to wake up early, anticipate the traffic and compose  ourselves to do our job well.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/time.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-240" title="time" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/time-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Continue Learing &#8211; </strong>I still remember my professor in College  (Engr. Limos) told our class &#8220;<em>After college, life does not stop there, as  well as learning new things and learning new skills, it is always a continuous  process, you will not succeed if you stop learning&#8230;</em>&#8221; And he is true&#8230;  learning new things everyday will make you succeed in this life. I usually dont  close my eyes everynight if i dont acquire or learn something during the whole  day i lived.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/learning.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-241" title="learning" src="http://www.nhansense.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/learning-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>There are other values that we can learn during college days and so many  friends to be with but let us face it, not just because you have High grades or  graduated in college with flying colors does not mean that you will be  successful, it is always the determination, the patience and willingness of the  person to be successful.</p>
