Vicente Sotto Hospital Scandal Video... SHAME ON YOU!
2008-04-17 07:37:00
I pity the patient who had ben abused in this video by those who attended to his/her operation. They had made a laughing stock out of the patient. If I understand correctly the operation is in order to remove a foreign object inserted in the anus which is used for some reason. Maybe because of their presumed reason they laugh about it but that is no excuse! They should never be given any license whatsoever... SHAME ON THEM! Why should they video tape it in the first place? I am sharing the video below in order for us to urge the Philippine Medical Association to disbar the licenses of those involved and to permanently ban all those involved from having a license.Video follows... Were sorry for having not posted the original video because they are already removed from YouTube.Despite this I would also like to point out that this is not a general thing in the Philippines but are only isolated cases however serious actions should be made in order for the confidence in the medical ...

The Ohio Debate and Clinton's Personality
2008-04-17 03:20:00
I see in Hilary Clinton a personality wherein she can be totally happy being with a person and then back fights him and says everything dirty about him. Sounds cool to be the next U.S. President. Here is the debate in Ohio conducted February 25, 2006.Thanks to VOTERSTHINKdotORG for these videos. The decisions will be based on what these candidates has to offer and not how popular they are alone.

Why Would Obama and Clinton Not Make the Looser Their Vice President?
2008-04-17 03:09:00
We should not be surprised if the two Democrat nominees, whoever wins would not consider or take the loosing nominee as their Vice President . Why? The reason is simple because whoever loose will definitely run again for President in the next elections. The VP might be the watchdog of the President and come election time might say, "I told you so, this person will not do good!"The bitterness and highly heated campaign between Senators Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton had entered the personal level. Even if the two would not admit it, it can be seen in the way things have turned out.Hilary Clinton is the candidate with the higher stake in this election, after all she is the wife of former President Bill Clinton and is more senior than Barrack Obama. Loosing for her means a personal lose of credibility and self-esteem. She will not bow down to a candidate like Obama, whom she sees it not fit at the moment to be President and is less qualified than she is.Obama on the other hand ha...

Alexa Has Changed Their Ranking System
2008-04-17 02:52:00
Just today I have seen the announcement on Alexa that they are changing their ranking system in order to better reflect the traffic trends and popularity of websites on the internet. Alexa also said that they will use resources and data beyond the usual Alexa toolbar.I think this move is brought about by the increasing trust of internet users and website owners on Alexa rankings. Many advertisers also look on to the alexa rankings of sites before they advertise on it.To VIEW THE COMPLETE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM ALEXA CLICK HERE.

Killer Asteroid May Hit Earth by 2039
2008-04-16 13:16:00
While browsing Yahoo I came across this news in which a 13-year old kid corrected a NASA projection of an asteroid named Apophis possibly hitting Earth by 2039. NASA formerly said that this asteroid which will nearly pass Earth in 2029 has a 1 in 45,000 chance of hitting the Earth, however the kid after calculations concluded that it can hit Earth by a 1 in 450 chance. That was a huge discrepancy from a mere minuscule percentage to a near terrifying 0.22% chance. Not much but a possibility.Nico Marquardt used telescopic findings from the Institute of Astrophysics in Potsdam (AIP) to calculate that there was a 1 in 450 chance that the Apophis asteroid will collide with Earth, the Potsdamer Neuerster Nachrichten reported.The schoolboy took into consideration the risk of Apophis running into one or more of the 40,000 satellites orbiting Earth during its path close to the planet on April 13 2029.Those satellites travel at 3.07 kilometres a second (1.9 miles), at up to 35,880 kilometr...

Obama's "Bitter" Comment is Obama Only Speaking of the Truth
2008-04-14 11:36:00
The recent controversy surrounding the campaign of Presidential hopeful Barrack Obama was nothing but a slice of the truth of man's common ways to cope up with problems. Many would not acknowledge but it is indeed true that people get bitter when they feel that they had not been listened to and when they feel that they are being left out. Some will indeed result to guns to resolve these issues and some will definitely seek religion for their salvation.I do not understand the issue and debate about what Barrack Obama has said because for me it is indeed factual but as the saying goes... "the truth hurts but it is the truth." Obama recently explained about these comments and was posted on youtube. You can view the video below.Clinton, who is trailing Obama in the popular vote and pledged delegates, has pounded Obama since audio from his San Francisco appearance was posted on The Huffington Post Web site. She hoped the comments might give her a new opening to court working-class D...

Farewell to the blog "Chalk is Cheap ". This blog is one of the good and sensible of the many blogs in the internet and it was very unfortunate that he had been spammed and hacked. This hacking incident was the result of his honest posts and opinions about various things which may have cause his blog to went offline permanently.Below is the message from the owner of Chalk is Cheap with previous blog address at http://chalkischeap.co.za/Wednesday 9 April 2007I have just been informed by the host of this site that my database has been broken into in some or other way.

Ad Masquerading as Entrecard Widget. Please Do Not Accept this Ad
2008-04-10 04:51:00
Today while dropping on entrecard widgets I accidentally clicked on this ad of Z Solutions Exchange. I clicked it at least 3 times because I was surprised that it redirected me to another site and then only to find out that it was not an entrecard widget but an advertisement.I found this ad on Marriage and Beyond and Scott's Space and all I can say is that this ad does not deserve a place in a member site of Entrecard.First and foremost because it is fooling everyone into clicking it because they will think at first that it is a widget, the result it drives traffic to that site by mere accident. The second point is that this site is not even a member of Entrecard, so I think EC has to do something about it for I believe it infringes some copyright.I hope that fellow EC members will read and spread this post and ban this advertiser from their site. Just remember the logo and the site name for I will not even dare put a link to their site here.

Ancestry Matters ... The Ancestry of the House of Delano
2008-04-09 14:43:00
As time goes by the importance of knowing your genealogy or roots is becoming less important. The modern era had given full focus on technology and information and had forgotten looking back into our beginnings and history of our family. Personally, I will never forget the importance of holding down to my roots and knowing it for it had saved my life.I remember back in High School when I almost committed suicide because I am so depressed about the things that had happened in my life. I am an orphan who had no one to run to and then one day my grandfather sent me our family tree... the Family Tree of the House of Delano and I was surprised to discover who my ancestor was...I cannot even believe my eyes when I see it, it was Charlemagne or Charles the Great - The Holy Roman Emperor. Carolus Magnus or Karolus Magnus, meaning Charles the Great) (742/747 ? 28 January 814) was King of the Franks from 768 to his death. He expanded the Frankish kingdoms into a Frankish Empire that incorp...

Simple Tips to Parents on How to Deal With Their Kids
2008-04-09 12:47:00
I received a letter from my grandfather yesterday and I am so happy to have read a letter from them once again. They lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil and I had not seen him since I was 5 years old. My Aunt Dorrit had told me in the letter very helpful tips which I would like to share to everyone about how to deal with your kids.?For a long time Granpa and I have felt that not all was well with you. I understand you and your state of spirit. I pray for you every night. Now I want to mention a subject because it seems to me that your children are very important for you, and here is my long experience as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. It is essential that your children know and FEEL how much they are important for you and that you are interested in them, even if you are separated from their mother. No matter what happens, never speak ill of her in their presence. That could open a gap in your relationship with them because of the affection they may have for her."?If th...

Entrecard and Those Which Just Use it to Advertise ... SHAME ON YOU!
2008-04-04 06:32:00
In every system there are those which will definitely abuse the system and just use it for personal reason. Every time that I drop my card on other entrecard members it gives me a sense of knowledge and feeling knowing that there are lots and lots of great bloggers out there. However, what bothers me are those which only uses Entrecard to advertise. They do drop cards but you can't drop on them and you can't advertise on them and for me that was unfair and I took it upon myself to get a note on them because for me they are the SHAME of Entrecard.I respect the right of Entrecard members to reject advertisements on their blog but I think it is a shame not to display the Entrecard widget on a member's blog. Why would you sign up in the first place if in return you will not even be a proud part of the community.Entrecard provides great opportunity for everyone.. for their blog to get known... to meet new bloggers and to have more information about many things.

Coincidental or God's will?

It was since last Saturday evening that I've been wondering about this and kept on hanging on my head regarding my question; I'm here in this world coincidental or God's will? Or is it happen to be a previous discussion between me and "the mighty Creator" before actually I was delivered to the world and then is it based on my own decision which maybe I was said I want to have a skinny body, dark brown skin, black hair which gradually fell of when I am above 30 y.o, Asian ethnic and more specific Indonesian? If so then I must be a little bit stupid to choose to be born as I am now instead of born to be a Brad Pitt or Beckham lol?If these are purely God's will, then why in these world many peoples think and dare to rise up their fingers and appointing to other mentioning that they're not right!! They're not blessed, sinner, will be burn in hell and so on why can we just accept and realize that we are a creations not creator and that's make us has no right to judge others and I ...

Don't ever ever leave your mobile phone unattended when it is being charged. I have received an information about the possibility of catastrophic accident which could bring harm to you or your love ones if your phone charging had been mismanaged.Usually we have the habit of charging our phone when we are asleep so that in the next day we will be assured that it is fully charged and we can make use of it the whole day without bothering to charge it.However, that is a very risky move since in the case of overheating the mobile phone's battery my end up overheated and then it could explode.Here's a post from Toro's Mall describing this incident and tip.
