JEJU ISLAND (SOUTH KOREA)

2008-10-14T21:03:00.000-07:00

According to legend, three demi-gods emerged from Samsung-hyeol which is said to have been on the northern slopes of Mt. Halla and became the progenitors of the Jeju people who founded the Kingdom of Tamna. It has also been claimed that three brothers including Ko-hu who were the 15th descendants of KoUlla, one of the Progenitors of the Jeju people, were received by the court of Silla at which time the name Tamna was officially recognized, while the official
government posts of Seong-ju, Wang-ja and Do-nae were conferred by the count upon the three. While this was the golden period of Silla, the exact data is as yet unknown.

Although there is no concrete evidence of when the "Three Names" (Samseong-Ko, Yang and Pu) appeared nor for the exact date of when Ko-hu and his brothers were received by Silla. It may be supposed that the founding Period by the "Three Names" occurred during the Three Kingdoms (Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla) [sounds familiar right?... if you watched the korean drama "The Legend", you can relate... ] period on the peninsula.

Taejo, the foundoms (Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla) period on the same relationship to Goryeo as Tamna had been in its relation to Silla but with Tamna's refusal to accept this position the Goryeo court ordered a dispatch of army troops whereupon the chief of Tamna, Ko ja-gyeon, submitted to Goryeo and ordered his son. Prince Mallo, to Goryeo's court in 938. In 1105 (King Sukjong's 10th year), the Goryeo court abolished the name Takna which had to this time been used and from that year on, the island was known as "Tamna-gun" (district) and Goryeo officials were sent to handle the affairs of the island...[ Read more ]

Jeju Island, also known as the "Island of the Gods," is a popular vacation spot for Koreans and many Japanese. It remains one of the top honeymoon destinations for Korean newlyweds. The island's mixture of volcanic rock, frequent rains, and temperate climate, make it very similar to the Hawaiian Islands in the U.S. The island offers visitors a wide range of activities: hiking on Halla-san (South Korea's highest peak), catching sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, viewing majestic waterfalls, riding horses, or just lying around on the sandy beaches.

Although tourism is one of the main industries on the island, many of the hotels and other tourist areas are run by mainland companies, so much of the income never gets put back into the local economy. Also, since the attractions are geared towards tourists, many of the entrance fees can be hefty (although the locally owned and operated ones tend to be cheaper). Similar to Gyeongju and some other areas, local residents can enter most places for free or for a steeply discounted price.

THINGS TO HAVE BEFORE CREATING A WEBSITE

2008-09-18T23:06:00.000-07:00

What you need to start your website?

a DOMAIN NAME

The unique name that identifies an Internet site. It is the address of your Website.
Ex. yourdomain.com, yourdomain.com.ph, yourdomain.net... etc.,

Types of domain name:
Top Level Domain [ TLD ] - .com, .net, .org, .name, .biz, .info
Country Level Domain [ CLD ] - .ph, .com.ph, .kr, .net.ph and more.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the domain name is not the only factor weighed by search engines when deciding your rank.

The content on your web pages and your site's popularity (inbound links from other sites) is very important too. However, it certainly doesn't hurt to make sure your name is optimized for maximum results.

Here are some more tips on choosing the best domain name:

1) Don't register domain names that are too long and have too many syllables if you can help it. Yes, you can register names up to 63 characters long, but that doesn't mean you have to use all 63 characters.

You want your name to be easy to remember. Not everyone will bookmark your page initially so try to think of something that can be easily remembered -- although I realize this may be tricky since a lot of names are taken these days.

2) Use hyphens if your name is more than 3 words long (unless your name includes 3 short words). A name like carbuying.com doesn't really need a hyphen because it's readable the way it is.

However a name like used-car-buying-scams.com looks better than usedcarbuyingscams.com since there are so many words in the name.

3) Protect your name by registering multiple extensions (.net, .org, etc.) This deters people from copying your name. For example, if you own garden-tips-for-us.com you can also register garden-tips-for-us.net and any other extension that's available.

You don't have to build a site on all the domains, but you can reserve the others to keep people (copycats) from registering them.

Check the availability of your domain and register it [ here ] .

a WEB HOST
A server that stores your website files such as HTML files, images... etc.,

Things to consider in choosing a web hosting plan:
Your site...
ideally suited for?
disk space needed
bandwidth or the monthly data transfer
software support ... and more.

CARS OF 2009

The 10 Most Beatiful Cars for 2009 - Feature

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness." —John Keats

Beauty, indeed, is a powerful thing. Specific though it may be to the observer, to each one of us, beauty has an intoxicating power that affects our judgment, blinds us to shortcomings, and, in many cases, provokes lust.

10. 2009 LOTUS ELISE/2009 ARIEL ATOM Lotus Elise and the skeletal Ariel Atom are not necessarily beautiful in the traditional sense, the fact that they weigh next to nothing yet offer more power than many sport-utilities can make a math-minded car enthusiast drool at the sight of their unconventional bodies like Pavlov’s dogs in a bell factory.

9. 2009 AUDI R8R8, Audi has brought the world a car that performs like a true supercar and is sculpted in double-take sheetmetal.

8. 2009 PORSCHE CAYMANThe Boxster is bitchin’, but the Cayman is beautiful. Yes, they’re more or less the same car, but the Cayman proves there’s something about a well-rendered roof that takes a good-looking car and drops it off at the doorstep of gorgeous.

7. 2009 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS-CLASSMercedes-Benz CLS-class proves that sedans can be beautiful, too. Sure, the CLS cheats a bit, achieving its captivating looks by incorporating some coupe-derived design elements such as a low, chopped roof and slim windows, and this translates into a cramped rear seat that holds only two people—short people.

6. 2009 AUDI S5One of the most passionate designs ever to come out of Germany, the S5 wears a perfect balance of masculine and feminine elements, mixing a strong, assertive gaze with elegantly flowing fenders and a thick fuselage offset with delicate brightwork.

5. 2009 PONTIAC SOLSTICE COUPEThe Solstice coupe is easy on the eye from any angle, and at an estimated $25,000 when it hits the market early next year, it’ll be pretty easy on the wallet, too.

4. 2009 ASTON MARTIN V-8 VANTAGEThe V-8 Vantage is absolutely gorgeous. With the same long-hood, short-deck formula as that of its larger sibling, but with a slightly different styling edge in the form of large wheels and a ducktail tush, the V-8 Vantage offers a rarely achieved balance of beauty and sportiness, proving that classic GT proportions are indeed scalable.

3. 2009 MASERATI GRAN TURISMOThe GranTurismo succeeds not with ornamentation but through the emotional, almost whimsical curvature of its plus-size body. The fact that a raucous, Ferrari-derived V-8 resides under the long hood is just icing on one helluva beautiful cake.

2. 2009 ASTON MARTIN DBSCarbon fiber is the dominant material for the body of this quintessential gentleman’s grand tourer, and its brilliant, classic proportions are blessed with better curves than a Bond girl and a more chiseled jaw than Double-O himself.

1. 2009 ALFA ROMEO 8C COMPETIZIONEPurity of form—billowing fenders, teardrop windows, and almond headlamps, among other things—and the perfect positioning of details are what makes the 8C so sexy.

HARRY POTTER MOVIE 6: HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

2008-09-08T22:00:00.000-07:00

Release Date: November 21, 2008
Director: David Yates
Screenwriter: Steve Kloves
Returning Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint

On August 7, 2006 (only three months after the Order of the Phoenix release date was confirmed), Warner Bros. announced that Half-Blood Prince will be released on Friday, November 21, 2008. This marks the fourth film in the Harry Potter series that will be released just before Thanksgiving. Starting with Prisoner of Azkaban in 2004, the movies have been on 18 month-long schedules (10 to 11 months of shooting, the rest spent on post-production), which is why HBP will hit theatres in the fall.

Production on Half-Blood Prince began in February 2007. At that time, artistic director Stuart Craig was designing the set for the scene in which a beloved character dies atop the astronomy tower. "It has to be impressive and beautiful and poignant," he said at the time. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint announced in March 2007 that they would return as Harry, Hermione, and Ron (respectively) for both Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.

In May 2007, David Yates announced he would return to direct Half-Blood Prince. He said, "I am doing 'Half-Blood Prince,' and I'm doing it because I love the [Potter] world, I love the characters. I think I have more business with this world and these characters. I've made a kind of tonal shift with the fifth film, which I want to continue and develop into the sixth film. And I can see the fifth story evolving into the sixth story in a really interesting way. So I'm on a journey with this material and this world, and I'm keen to complete it."

JK Rowling will take part in some of the creative process, according to Yates. He said that she "is actually going to come and join us for a few days and talk through the script. I'm really looking forward to having her around; she's grown up enough to say that the film is a separate entity to the book so she always leaves the director to get on with his job. Having said that, she has great ideas and insights."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theatres July 17, 2009.

GOOGLE CHROME

2008-09-01T22:17:00.000-07:00

I talked to my friend, Karl, this morning. He asked me if I want to have something new to put on my blog. So, of course I said yes and asked what it is and he said WEB BROWSER that will be launch today... the GOOGLE CHROME browser.

And for me to know about it... he gave me a link. It's a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud. Through the comic - the features of the Google Chrome browser is seen.

+ Google Chrome is Google’s open source browser project.
This will be based on the existing rendering engine Webkit.

+ The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8
One aim of V8 was to speed up JavaScript performance in the browser, as it’s such an important component on the web today.

+ Google Chrome will use special tabs.
Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.

+ The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features.
Called ’omnibox’, Google says it offers search suggestions, top pages you’ve visited, pages you didn’t visit but which are popular and more. [ just like firefox.. hehe ]

+ As a default homepage Chrome presents you with a kind of “speed dial” feature
[similar to Opera..]

On that page you will see your most visited webpages as 9 screenshot thumbnails. To the side, you will also see a couple of your recent searches and your recently bookmarked pages, as well as recently closed tabs.

+ Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address bar and toolbar.

+ To fight malware and phishing attempts, Chrome is constantly downloading lists of harmful sites.
Google also promises that whatever runs in a tab is sandboxed so that it won’t affect your machine and can be safely closed.

Cool! right?.... very interesting project. 've got to have it.

USA BASKETBALL TEAM WINS GOLD MEDAL

2008-08-28T01:44:00.000-07:00

Riding 27 points from Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat) and 20 points from Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), the 2008 U.S. Men's Olympic Team (8-0) dethroned reigning World Champion Spain (6-2) in a fight-to-the-finish 118-107 victory that earned the USA the Olympic gold medal Sunday afternoon at Wukesong Arena in Beijing, China. The gold was the USA's 13th all-time in Olympic competition and its first gold medal finish in a major international competition since claiming gold in the 2000 Olympics.

Answering every Spanish comeback attempt in the second and third periods, the USA watched its nine-point lead shrink to as little as two in the fourth period before 13 points from Bryant and Wade's fourth 3-pointer of the game propelled the USA past Spain and to its eighth consecutive double-digit win in as many games, including its second over Spain.

In Sunday's bronze medal game, Argentina (6-2) topped Lithuania (5-3) 87-75 to collect the third-place medal.

"I'm proud of our guys. We played with great character in one of the great games in international basketball history, I think," said USA and Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "Because if we didn't have great character, we would not have been able to beat another team that had great character. Spain was fabulous. Everything we did, we tried to stop them, and we couldn't stop them completely. It was a great basketball game where everybody involved played at the highest level, and I think it brought out the best in us. We're thoroughly thankful for the opportunity to represent our country. (We're) ecstatic about winning the gold medal."

Both teams were hot from the field, but the USA bettered Spain's 51.4 percent (38-74 FGs) shooting with a 60.0 percent performance (39-65 FGs) of its own, and led by Wade's 4-of-7 shooting from deep, the USA shot 13-of-28 from 3-point to set a U.S. Olympic record for the most 3-pointers made.

"I felt that I haven't had a good game in the last two games, so I really made it a point to come out, be very aggressive from the start," said Wade, who tallied 21 of his 27 points in the first half. "I got into a rhythm early and it just kept going."

LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) added 14 points and six rebounds; Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets) tallied 13 points and five assists and shot 9-of-10 from the free throw line; and Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets) also added 13 points to round out the USA's double-digit scorers. Bryant also dished six assists.

"Every possession counted tonight for all 40 minutes, every possession counted, James stated. "You couldn't take one possession off, one second off. If it wasn't for the determination and the will power we have in each other, we wouldn't have pulled through and got this win. Much respect to Spain, but U.S. is back on top again."

The lead changed six times to start the game before two bonus free-throws for Spain put it ahead 22-17. Paul converted on a 3-point play to kick off a 14-3 run that gave the USA a 31-25 advantage when Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors), who grabbed seven rebounds and shot 6-of-6 from the free throw line, cleaned up a missed free throw by Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic) with 1:31 on the clock. The teams traded scores from there, and Wade drained a 3-pointer 10 seconds before the first break to stretch the U.S. lead to 38-31 after one.

Four different U.S. scorers combined for five made 3-pointers in the second period, including two from Wade, to help the USA counter 13 points from Spain's Rudy Fernandez, and the U.S. held a 69-61 lead at halftime.

Spain outscored the U.S. 10-6 to start the third period, and the USA called a time out at with 6:04 on the clock and just a four point lead, 75-71.

Out of the break, Anthony blocked a shot, Bosh collected the rebound and fired the ball ahead to Anthony on a fast break, and the USA capped the third quarter with a 16-11 run and the score was 91-82 headed into the final 10 minutes.

Spain opened the final stanza with a 7-0 run that forced another USA timeout just 1:47 into the quarter with the U.S. up by just two points, 91-89. Bryant scored two points out of the timeout, Deron Williams (Utah Jazz) sank a 3-pointer and Howard dunked a Bryant assist to cushion the USA advantage to 98-89 with 6:48 left.

As was the case for the entire 40 minutes, Spain refused to quit and two points from Gasol with 3:32 remaining pulled Spain within five points, 104-99. Bryant answered once again, this time drilling a 3-pointer while drawing Fernandez's fifth and final foul. Bryant sank the free throw for a four-point play that restored the U.S. advantage to
108-99.

Bryant's four-point punch didn't knock Spain out, however, as Carlos Jimenez' 3-pointer at 2:25 cut the U.S. lead to 108-104.

It was Wade who dealt the final blow against Spain with his fourth 3-pointer of the game at 2:04 that put the USA back up by seven, 111-104.

"Not only did we win this gold medal, but it was probably one of the best Olympic games ever," said Tayshaun Prince (Detroit Pistons). "I kept thinking I might have been part of one of the best Olympic basketball games for all time.

Both teams never gave up; both teams shot a high percentage. A different player on each team always came down the court and made a great play."

Both teams converted its free throw opportunities into points. Spain shot 23-of-28 (.821) from the line, while the USA was 27-of-37 (.730) from the charity stripe.

Jason Kidd (Dallas Mavericks) is the only two-time Olympic gold medalist on the 2008 team and becomes just the 13th U.S. player in history to collect two gold medals; while Kidd, Anthony, Carlos Boozer (Utah Jazz), James and Wade now belong to a small group of just 18 two-time U.S. Olympic basketball team members.

"What you saw today was a team," Bryant added. "Everybody wants to talk about NBA players being selfish, being arrogant, being individuals. What you saw today was a team bonding together, facing adversity and coming of here with a big win."

The U.S. men have medaled in every Olympics they have played in, including 13 gold medals, 1 silver and two bronze, while compiling a 122-5 win-loss record for a 96.0 winning percentage. U.S. Olympic teams featuring NBA players are 35-3 in the Olympics, and the USA has won four of five Olympic titles (1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008).

Serving as 2008 USA Basketball Men's Senior National Team assistant coaches are Syracuse University and Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim, New York Knicks head mentor Mike D'Antoni and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan.

AVRIL LAVIGNE IN THE PHILIPPINES

2008-08-20T22:25:00.000-07:00

Birth Name: Avril Ramona Lavigne

Born: September 27, 1984
Genre(s): Modern Rock,Pop Punk,Pop Rock,Teen Pop,Alternative Rock
Years active: 1999-present
Intrument(s):Vocals,Electric guitar,piano,drums,acoustic guitar

Avril Lavigne is a girl who knows what she wants. And when it came to writing her eagerly awaited third album, The Best Damn Thing, she had one very clear goal in mind: To make it fun. While touring in 2004 for her last album, Under My Skin, which sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, the Canadian-born punk-pop dynamo found that her favorite songs to play were the faster, more up-tempo songs so she resolved to make a record that captured the kind of high-spirited, full-throttle energy that she loved to unleash on-stage.

The Best Damn Thing is brimming with gutsy guitar riffs, instantaneously catchy sing-along party-starting choruses, power pop punk, and rebellious rock'n' roll attitude. It's a marked departure from the darker, more introspective tone of Under My Skin and on as the defiant, riotous, kiss-off-to-a-cheating-boyfriend "Everything Back But You", Avril took pleasure in creating scenarios for her lyrics that weren't, as she says, "straight out of my diary." The result is a collection of songs that reveal just how far she's evolved as a songwriter and singer, from the sassy, empowering "I Can Do Better" (one of Avril's personal favorites) to the irrepressible first single "Girlfriend" which unexpectedly combines a hip-hop beat with beefy power chords, hand-claps, and a chanted girl-group-style chorus with a punk rock twist to the emotional ballad "Keep Holding On", which she wrote at the request of 20th Century Fox for the studio's fantasy/adventure film Eragon.

She's Back!
Punk Princess Avril Lavigne is coming to Manila for her "Avril Lavigne 2008: The Best Damn Tour Concert" at Araneta Coliseum this September 3,2008!

According to information gathered by ABS-CBNNEWS.COM, Lavigne will be arriving in the country a day before her concert. The singer goes to Manila after staging a concert in Melox Ax Seoul, South Korea this September 1.

This is the second time that Lavigne will perform to her Filipino fans, her first was last March 31, 2005.

In the concert, Lavigne’s will perform her chart-topping hits which includes -- "Girlfriend," "When Your Gone," "The Best Damn Thing," "My Happy Ending," "He Wasn't, Fall To Pieces," "Complicated," "Sk8ter Boi," "I'mWith You," "Why," "Losing Grip," "Don't Tell Me," "Keep Holding On," "Let Go and "Nobody's Home."

August 8 and 9, 2008 at PSE (Philippine Stock Exchange) Penthouse. WEB.COM.PH attended HACKACON 2008 IT Security Seminar. It was such a cool experience for us OJT's of Web.com.ph. Me and Wee were in-charged in manning the booth together with Sir Matthew,we are just back-ups!:D

And the HackAcon adventure started...

THURSDAY: We went to Richmond Hotel since we all know it is the place of the event.When we arrived there, we are supposed to go to the 25th floor, but the hotel has only 23 floors... [whhaaatt..??!]so Sir Mathhew called the HackAcon in-charge and was informed that the event will be held at PSE and that Richmond Hotel is just a sponsor...*sigh* [ sayang! wee and I were "ready na" pa naman for picture taking sa hotel.. ganda kasi! hehe :D ] We walked from the hotel to PSE...[ang layo ha!] I felt so wasted and so tired because we have our materials and laptops with us.... After that, we took rest and ate in McDonalds El Pueblo.
FRIDAY: First day of the HACKACON Event. We set-upped our booth with laptops, flyers and calling cards. Many people made an inquiries about us. I talked one of the participants of the event and I felt proud because he knows us and said that he heard that WEB.COM.PH OFFERS GOOD SERVICES TO THEIR CLIENTS.. very true! ^^ yeah! We also attended the CEH - Certified Ethical Hacker Seminar. Amazing! Lots of things we learned - of being a hacker - white hacker... :D especially the tools...the things we discovered...its just a secret! haha...

Anti-Gravity thing of Wee... [mei laptop p yan! haha..]

CEH - CERTIFIED ETHICAL HACKERS

2008-08-10T21:02:00.000-07:00

Ever had thoughts of becoming a hacker, an ethical one that is? The EC-Council has released a certification called Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). Its goal is to certify security practitioners in the methodology of ethical hacking. This vendor neutral certification covers the standards and language involved in common exploits, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures.

If you have been to a bookstore lately, you've most likely seen that there is an abundance of books on hacking and "how to hack." Until now, few organizations have worked toward quantifying ethical hacking, defining its legalities, or specifying its useful role in modern organizations. This is what the EC-Council is attempting to do with this certification.

Why Must We Have Ethical Hackers?
Organizations must secure their IT infrastructure and networks. Just as corporations employ auditors to routinely examine financial records, so should corporations audit security policy. We have all seen the havoc that a lack of real financial audits can cause. Just as accountants perform bookkeeping audits, ethical hackers perform security audits. Without security audits and compliance controls, no real security exists. This is a big problem. There are plenty of individuals waiting to test and probe your organization's security stance. These individuals range from government and corporate spies, to hackers, crackers, script kiddies, or those who write and release malicious code into the wild. Their presence in your network in not a good thing!

Who Are Ethical Hackers?
An ethical hacker is most similar to a penetration tester. The ethical hacker is an individual who is employed or contracted to undertake an attempted penetration test. These individuals use the same methods employed by hackers. In case you were unsure; hacking is a felony in the United States. Ethical hackers have written authorization to probe a network. Only then is this attempted hack legal, as there is a contract between the ethical hacker and the organization. In 1995, long before today's more stringent guidelines, one individual received 3 felony counts, 5 years probation, 480 hours of community service, and a $68,000 legal bill for failing to insure proper authorization. Don't let this happen to you!

How is Ethical Hacking Performed?
Primarily, ethical hackers are employed in groups to perform penetration tests. These groups are commonly referred to as "Red Teams." These individuals are being paid by the organization to poke, prod, and determine the overall level of security. Again, what is important here is that they have been given written permission to perform this test and have detailed boundaries to work within. Don't be lulled into believing that the penalties for illegal penetration are low, it is a felony!

What is on the Test?
The Certified Ethical Hacker exam consists of 21 domains covered in 50 questions. It has a two-hour time limit. These questions are multiple choice. During the test, you are allowed to mark questions if you're not sure of an answer and return for later review. The format of the questions is choose one or choose all that apply. The domains were compiled to evaluate the full range of security testing. One must also demonstrate how hacker tools work and demonstrate knowledge of professional security tools, as well as how these tools are utilized. The 21 domains are as follows:

1. Ethics and Legal Issues
2. Footprinting
3. Scanning
4. Enumeration
5. System Hacking
6. Trojans and Backdoors
7. Sniffers
8. Denial of Service
9. Social Engineering
10. Session Hijacking
11. Hacking Web Servers
12. Web Application Vulnerabilities
13. Web Based Password Cracking Techniques
14. SQL Injection
15. Hacking Wireless Networks
16. Virus and Worms
17. Hacking Novell
18. Hacking Linux
19. IDS, Firewalls, and Honeypots
20. Buffer Overflows
21. Cryptography

These domains comprise a full body of ethical hacking knowledge. It's good that the exams first domain is centered on ethics and legal issues. This is an important domain. Always make sure you have written consent to perform any type of penetration test or security audit.

FAQ's:

Q. How did you guys come up with the name, Making April?

A. We had just recorded some demo songs in late March of 2005 and we were looking to get them online and start promoting them. We had to think of a name in order to do this but couldn't settle on anything. We kept telling each other that we had to make up a name by April, so once April came and we still had no name, our name became Making April. Bling!

Q. I looked everywhere and couldn't find your CD. How do i get it?

A. We are an unsigned artist which means we don't have distribution through a record label. Therefore, our CD isn't available to buy at your local record store. The only way to get our music is to order a CD online through SmartPunk.com, send money to our address and have a CD mailed to you, or download it from itunes. All of the links are in the music section of our myspace page.

OK... so my turn... :D
I'm not a fan of rock music. I'm not even familiar with them. I just heard about them from someone (JC,which he heard also from someone...hehe.. =D).
What made me interested with them is when I listened to their song,"All of yours".

It's a great song...
full of meaning...
amazing...

The song:

The Lyrics:

My blood bleeds red
For all those thoughts you left unsaid
Well how could you let your guard down
And let me impose
We’re dying the further this thing goes
Well can we go back to where we were before
You dropped your heart on my floor
‘Cause it was easiest to hide it all away
And never say what we were thinking
No you’d never catch me blinking that night
‘Cause I was all of yours
But don’t say we became too late
Well I just think you’re humoring yourself
Let me say one more thing before you fly
And this charade is out of sight
I’ve been wrong but now I’m right
So let your precious sky come down on you tonight
I’m right outside
With every useless key I’ve tried
You’re seamlessly wrapped in secrets
Unraveling now
But you don’t know just why or how

Bridge
(left your heart at my door)
(blinking those nights)

Chorus
(Let me say one more thing before these
Beautiful mistakes we’ve made run dry
Well I thought this would all blow by
And everything would just turn out alright
And this would all be fine)
So say goodbye to days like these
I’ll give it one more try and hope it all seems better in your eyes
Well maybe not this time

DAVID COOK CONCERT IN RP

2008-08-01T01:19:00.000-07:00

A surprise announcement from David Cook himself had his web fan site buzzing with excitement, especially from its Filipino subscribers: “American Idol”’s Season 7 champ is coming to Manila for a concert.

Comments from the website ranged from incredulity to amazement to simple joy, in a thread whose common question was the need to present proof.

Inquirer pursued a tip that the evidence was earlier posted on YouTube, and indeed, there it was (type in: CHUMFM interview with David Cook). The audio clip, 4 minutes and 15 seconds long, has Cook being interviewed by DJ Richie on a Canadian radio station. The conversation starts with Cook’s scheduled visit to Toronto as part of the “Idol” tour.

Cook proceeded to discuss his coming major-label debut CD, set for a November release and with Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance) as producer.

And then the announcement: “We just booked my first show, post-‘Idol,’ Jan. 27 in the Philippines … a one-off show and then we start the tour in the States …”

THE CLASSIC

2008-07-24T00:08:00.000-07:00

The film tells the parallel love stories of a mother and daughter. The story of the mother is told partially in flashbacks.

The movie starts in the present day. The daughter, Ji-Hae (Son Ye Jin), is cleaning up around her house when she comes across a box full of old letters that detail the story of her mother, Joo-Hee (who is also played by Son Ye Jin, in a dramatic tour de force). Periodically in the movie, Ji-Hae reads one of those letters, which starts a flashback scene in which the story of the mother is told. These flashbacks are intertwined with Ji-Hae's own story, in which she falls for a fellow student involved in the school theater.The movie details both relationships.

The mother, Joo-Hee, visits the countryside as a student one summer and meets Joon-Ha (Jo Seung-woo). Together they explore the countryside, playing near a river which they both will always remember as their special place. When a storm starts, and they take shelter together under a tree, but not before Joo-Hee twists her ankle and is rendered helpless. Joon-Ha takes her on his back and they run home, only to be confronted by her parents. Before they separate, Joo-Hee gives him a necklace, which he keeps close as a precious reminder of their time together. Unfortunately, as often happens in affairs of the heart, a third party prevents any deepening of their relationship.

Joo-Hee has been promised by her parents as a bride to Tae-Soo, Joon-Ha's friend. But Tae-Soo, a noble friend, finds out about Joo-Hee and Joon-Ha's attraction and helps the two communicate secretly by using his own name in place of Joon-Ha's in their letters. When Tae-Soo's father finds this out, however, he beats Tae-Soo. Tae-Soo tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide so that his two friends can be together.Meanwhile, in the present, Ji-Hae falls for her friend's love interest, but he seems not to notice. Then, in a sweet scene, they take shelter from the rain together under the same tree. He uses his coat to cover both of them and escorts her to where she needs to go.

The moment, while magical, does not go anywhere as she feels his help was only due to his generous nature and not from any feelings for her on his part.Back in the past, Joon-Ha is guilt-ridden over his friend's attempted suicide and Joo-Hee's own guilt. Determined to prevent any more hurt to her, Joon-Ha joins the army and goes to Vietnam. There he loses his eyesight while saving a fellow soldier. When he returns to Korea, he meets with Joo-Hee, trying to hide his blindness, and convinces her he has married in hopes she will move on with her life. Though heart broken that their relationship cannot continue, she does move on and eventually marries Tae-Soo, Joon-Ha's kind friend. After they have been married for several years and have a young daughter, Ji-Hae, Joo-Hee is approached by friends of Joon-Ha, who relate Joon-Ha's last wish: that his ashes be scattered by Joo-Hee in the river, now reservoir, where they first met. She then finds out that Joon-Ha only got married after she had a son her daughter's age. The heart-break is too much; she cries.In the present, Ji-Hae's own story unfolds. Her love interest reveals his true feelings for Ji-Hae, feelings that mirror her own.

It is also revealed that their taking shelter together during the storm was no accident; he purposely left his umbrella behind so that he could join her under the tree. Then, when Ji-Hae pensively reveals her mother's story to him, tears stream down his face. He wordlessly lifts a necklace from around his neck and places it around hers. It is the necklace that Ji-Hae's mother, Joo-Hee, had given to Joon-Ha when they met. The circle is completed; Joo-Hee's daughter and Joon-Ha's son have fallen in love.

THE UNFAITHFUL

2008-07-21T02:34:00.000-07:00

There was a time when I talked to my friend because I'm bothered of something... I said to her..."I don't want to stick with one person" [ "parang 'ayako magstick sa isang tao" ]... then she answered..." I'm talking to a playgir!!! "..["may kausap akong playgirl"] , and I was shocked hehe... (*kaw ba naman sbhan ng "playgirl"*) haha.. what I meant was that I just don't want commit to anyone else...yet. But now...I have realized that there were times that I was being "unfaithful" -- in my heart... 10%, in my mind...10%. Bad! :p I want to share this with you guys... I have read this and it triggered me to make this post.. :D

Signs of being Unfaithful

Over protection of their cell phone and other personal items like wallets or purses. Unexpected or unexplained nights away, at 'Friends'. Accusing YOU of being unfaithful. If they can do it, they will presume you could too. If you're a woman, follow your gut instinct.

IF SINGLE:
-Not keeping in touch with you during the week (usually a guy you are dating will ask you out for the weekend)

-Always out with his buddies

-Not interested in what you have to say

-Doesn't bother to ask what is going on in your life

Isn't interested in your friends

-Is lethargic [ stupid ] , moody when with you

-Doesn't remember your birthday or other special occasions

MARRIED:

-The smell of perfume

-Check for lipstick on especially his shirts

-Calls in the evening and the person hangs up

-Phone #'s your husband has and he doesn't explain whose they are

-You can always check his emails or any boards he is on online

-Receipts from hotels or motels

-Keep an eye on your Visa card for any transactions for jewelry, motels, hotels, rented vehicles, etc.

-Working more over-time than he use too

-Forgetting your birthday or anniversary (some men can forget and it doesn't mean they are cheating, but they will make up for it.)

-Not interested in any aspect of your life such as how your day went, if you want to go out for an evening or have friends over.

-A lack of interest in you, or having your friends over for a nice evening

-Never taking you out for dinner or a movie

These are but a few, but usually, if most women have a gut instinct follow through on it, but be warned, be sure you have proof and don't be the over-zealous type (or over jealous) and ruin your relationship.

Before you jump to conclusions it's type you both brushed up on your communication skills. So sit down one night and have a nice quiet chat and discuss your relationship.
........
For me,It's always wrong no matter how you spin it. If you are committed to someone, you should honor the relationship you have with him/her. "Your love one deserves your fidelity."

And if you are married, it's just mean that you accepted the covenant with your wife/husband and God.

"It is better to be told a hurtful truth than to be told a comforting lie.”

I'M YOURS

Lyrics:

I'm Yours

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
I love peaceful melody
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what i'ma saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait
The sky is yours!

MEMORIES OF THE PAST

2008-07-14T21:58:00.000-07:00

Have you ever tried living in the shadow of your past -- past love?

Once upon a time, there was a girl that at the age where her mind and emotions were full-grown, she fell in love with this boy, whom she never thought would love her back. Everything about them was almost perfect. But life doesn't go their way -- fate separates them apart. The thing happened -- it's unbearable.

It seems like only yesterday when there was "him and her". It’s really hard to lose someone whom you love so much. But the harder part is when you know that it’s time to move on but you just can’t control your heart. You try to be strong – so strong, do everything, hang around and try to find some things to do just to keep your mind off missing that person – still you end up crying and the pain lingers in your heart.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. I have realized that no matter how hard I’ve tried and no matter how much I’ve prayed for it…“if things were not for me – definitely, it’s not for me.” But there’s this one thing that I want to believe in myself… “we were meant for each other”… for the months that we’re still together. I know in myself that I lived in the past for so long…what can I do? I just can’t go on without him…I just can’t let go…

But now, the “truth” dawned over me. It’s over. Past is past. What has done has done! Now it’s just him and it’s just me. “Us” is just a dream that never can be. I have wished that we could walk, hand in hand in the rain but now the growing distance between us is filled with pain. It’s enough.

"now it's time for me to find my happiness again
but the emptiness from missing you
will never ever end..."

KOREAN SKIN CARE

2008-07-10T22:35:00.000-07:00

A lot of people ask what do Koreans do to their skin to look so white and look so good. The things I know about them, based on what I have learned from my father, is that...

-Korean food: that are usually veggies...it helps a lot!
-facial masks
-they don't expose too much in the sun...
-they clean and put lots of lotion
-body scrub, even if they are still kids they do that!
-lastly... they love skin care products ... =)

And here based on someone [ a Korean ]:

1. it's DNA thing
2. most people with pretty skin doesn't wear makeup
3. we clean and give lots lotion
4. not a lot of sun

here are some tips..

1. if u have milk that's left over and you don't want it then wash it to your face with it it's very good for your skin
2. cut cucumbers very thin and place it on your face for 30min.
3. be always gentle with your face.

JESUS TOUCHES MY LIFE

2008-07-06T23:16:00.000-07:00

I met Him 2 years ago, unexpectedly but I know not accidentally. My life changed a lot... the way I talk and the things I say, the way I act, the way I think...everything about me...the way I am. It's really amazing how God put me into hardships and trials then woke up one day that I'm already in His hands. He's now in full control of my life, yet It's hard because there are things that are uncontrollable and we're human - imperfect... so I just try to be at my "best" and For me to know what's right from wrong is to pray...pray... and PRAY.

Jesus touches my life, who touches yours?

3 MUSKETEERS + 1

Meet Lexus… real name’s Alexis. She was the first “little” girl =D I met in MFI. Peace...hehe... She’s approachable and kind [kind? you've gotta pay me for this lexus..hehe..] And when I get to know her more, she’s…. GREAT! She is witty that she always makes me laugh with her actions and words. Pronounce these words: “british” , “english”, “roller coaster”, “one gig”, “stuff toy”. Have you pronounced it clearly?... but for lexus.. its different… “britis is for british and englis for english”… it really made me laughed out loud to think that she said these words in the middle of our report in English class. The other words... "rollers coater, wanggig for one gig, and stop toy"... =D Is it contagious? Because Joan, has her own too..."plaments [play-ments] for placement". =D

So here goes Joan, she was the "Miss know-it-all" [they say... =D] in our class. And she used to talk..talk...and...talk so whenever our class is in silence, you know that Joan is not around. hahaha... Everytime I'm with her, I'm in a silent mode...hehe... I can't talk.I let her talk. She's a very bubbly and transparent person that whenever she's in high spirit, badtrip or even crying... you will know...you will see. I miss their company... especially the "trippings" of lexus... she used to call joan... "hoy tabachoy!"... and lexus teases joan... "taba! taba! taba!" like she's protesting. =D

Lastly, Meet Jho... She's also close to me.I know a lot this girl, because I used to go to their house, visited her family and spent time with her. Jho knows me well too. I used to share everything to her, to them. I can't forget the times when she was there for me.Whenever I'm happy and sad and I remember so well that everytime I cry because of a guy... she cries with me...she always say it to me that she feels the pain I'm feeling [ ambait nman...] ... We always wanted to help her...her family because we see their situation. We may not be able to help her now. But We will someday.

That's it. I miss them so much... The times we were together.It's just good to think that even if we're far away from each other... we have "memories" to reminisce. I feel so blessed to have them...my friends...to treasure for the rest of my life.

So make lots of memories with your friends now because later...
"Things will never be the same."

UNWANTED BESTFRIENDS

2008-07-03T00:32:00.000-07:00

The Chronicles of MFI:
The Cashier, the Guard and the Placement

The Cashier

Our school offers scholarship to less fortunate and "deserving” student, except to us IT students, the only course that is paying. So every before examination week, we are required to pay. Instead of preparing money, I prepared PN ( Promissory Note ) and I was doing that for "almost" 2 years I spent in MFI.( poor lei…) And because of that, I need to face and talk to “Miss P....” – school Accountant. I am uncertain and shy every time I do that but I’ve got no choice. It is really strange because I hide and even "run away" every time we [ Me and Miss P. ] come across in school or outside. Funny but true that's why my friends teased me to Miss P..... - “bestfriend ko daw” (my bestfriend)…LOL.

The Guard

Our school treated us as their own to the extent that we are like kindergarten. I don’t like it,in some ways. E very time we go inside and outside the school we will meet friendly guards – except one.There was this incident that I don’t have a class anymore, so I knew to myself that I could go out – but that bad guard blocked me. It was quite all right for me but the things he said and his facial expressions when he was talking pissed me off and spoiled my day. Badtrip! I’m not the type of person that easily gets angry but when it comes to that “cruel-harsh-inconsiderate” guard – I can’t control my anger. hehehe… When my friends knew about it… they made fun of me again that the guard is my bestfriend… 2^nd bestfriend…LOL again…

The Placement
This is where we usually go to find a workplace to have our OJT course. But before placing us in any company, the placement teach us lots of things about work – work etiquettes, plans, blah…blah…blah… - with Miss K… Oh no! Not with her… At first she’s okay for me. But later… uhm… no comment. The story: I failed to pass my waiver on time, actually one month late and she asked me why, I just answered her that I forgot because I never gone to school since I started my OJT and I said to her that it was fine. It was fine with me, if they will credit my OJT hours just the time I passed the waiver. And unintentionally, what I have said made her angry. And that’s the story… my friends discovered what happened…then again they teased me…that Miss K… is my bestfriend… “my new bestfriend”… :D

've got lots of [unwanted] bestfriends... want some? hahaha....
