Blogging Inside My Bathroom

My father just bought a wireless router for our home and I'm amazed at how powerful it is. The signal reaches even my bathroom so now I can blog inside it. Truly amazing.

Just like what I'm doing now. I'm sitting on the floor of my bathroom and surfing the internet and blogging. I'm playing some crazy loud music and nobody is complaining. I think my bath tub, towel racks and the bathroom faucets are enjoying it actually.

Anyway, I'm glad that I'm blessed with a personal sanctuary such as this bathroom in our house. And this is the reason why I'm going to invest in a good bathroom when I someday buy my own house. This is a place where anyone can be candid and just be themselves.

Hmmm, I think it's time to sing in the shower! :D

My Father, The Carpenter

I'd like to talk more about my father because it's going to be Father's Day soon. Well, as common to most families, the father is usually the carpenter in the house. Anything that needs to be repaired or installed like doors, sinks, light fixtures and others, it's always Dad who we call.

My dad did not study carpentry but he sure is very talented. That's one of his skills that I really admire. My mom always says it too that my father seems to know everything. How about your dad? Is he as great as mine? I'm sure he is.

So, I know present, Low Filipino Tagalog version!



Lyrics

Chorus:
Mansanas Pantalon
at sapatos na balbon
Buong beerhouse nakalingon
ayy nadapa!
Bigla bigla!
Nagspaghetti pabababa ng pabababa ng pabababa

Pinawisang Pantalon
tinalian na Tretorn
Umikot siya
at pinalo ko pwit niya (hoooy!!!)
ayyy nadapa!
Bigla bigla!
Nagspaghetti pababa ng pababa ng pababa

Rap 1
Uiiii stig napalingon tlga akooo
tumataktaktak si aginamotoooo
Si pandak ay nagloloko
Tinigasan aking ulooo
ang sexy niya… parang lola
ginto pa ang… pustiso niya
oooo.. teka lang saglit. May pulis! takbo!
Ayy si pandak lang pala hello
kumusta na ang buhay moo
miss kita o pare koo
mustang pagbenta ng tahoo
Oke naman aking negosyo
may bahay at lupa narin ako
sa susunod na taon ko dito
sa akin narin ang meralco

Funny right? I hope their fathers know about this. :D

My Dad's Favorite Sport

My father is a golf fanatic. He always goes out very early on weekends to play with his buddies. At home, he has a lot of books about golf and lately, he even brought home an instructional video on how to improve his game.

My father has actually won quite a number of golf tournaments and I'm really proud of him. I wish I had the time to learn the game so that I can join him whenever he plays. That will surely be quality time for us.

This coming Father's Day, I think I'll buy him Callaway golf clubs as a gift. It's the perfect present for him who love the sport. I hope that with it, he will further improve his game and win more tournaments.

So to my Dad, I hope you don't read this entry soon because now you know my gift to you on Father's Day.

Financial Advisers: Do You Need It?

Each one of us have different interests and passions in life. Some may be talented singers while some may be skilled photographers and others, innovative creators of technology. Pause for a moment and think about your own.

It is often said that if you follow your dreams and work on something you love, then you'll feel that you don't have a job. This is true. It is really important that we pursue a career that makes us happy - be it in the performing arts or technology or others.

By giving value to others through what we do best, then it's often believed that money will naturally come to us. And when it does, what do you do with it? Spend it and buy everything your heart desires?

This is the reason why everyone needs Independant Financial Advisers. If you're talent is singing and you succeed at it, then let those whose skill is managing money handle the wealth which you have worked hard to achieve. Let them worry about your financial future while you take care of pursuing your passion. Makes sense right?

Personally, I've found out that I'm good at mathematics and this is the reason why I entered the world of the stock market. However, I still ask advice from those who are experts in the field of investing because I want what's best for my money.

Yes, I have employed the service of Independent Financial Advisers myself and I'm glad I did. They have taught me a lot about the different aspects of personal finance and introduced me to other investing instruments. I suggest that you get one too.

Pursue your dreams and when money comes, don't be afraid to ask for help on how to manage it. Your future depends on it.

Philippine Rice Problem Solutions

The Philippines is currently undergoing a rice shortage problem. Furthermore, there are also cases of malnutrition and hunger in the country. These crises has prompted several non-government organizations and Church groups to launch programs to alleviate the situation.

One such program was recently initiated by the Center for Community Work and People’s Development (CCWD) and Caritas Manila. Entitled Nutrimeal, this program introduced a vegetable and rice food supplement mix which included rice, mongo beans, carrots, sesame seeds, and horse radish.

The Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) approved this supplement and can now be added to any meal and be ensured that the consumers will be provided with more vitamins and minerals needed by the body. Currently, Nutrimeal is being sold for P70 per 100 grams in village halls and churches.

How To Fix Limited Or No Connectivity Error

Have you ever experienced limited or no connectivity in your network connection? This computer error is easy to solve and you don't need technical knowledge to fix this limited connectivity problem. Here are simple tips and ways to solve this problem.

First, you can unplug your network cable until the message that you are disconnected from the network appears. After that, you can plug the network cable in again.

If this doesn't work, you can now try restarting your computer.

If the limited or no connectivity message still appears, you can now double click the network icon. A new window will appear. There are two tabs above, select Support. You should now click the Repair button. Let the process finish. This will take less than 2 minutes.

After doing this and you still have no internet connection or the repair process is taking too long to finish. Press cancel and unplug the network cable. After this, shutdown your computer.

Once your computer is powered off. Go to your network hub or switch and broadband router and do a power cycle. This means that you will unplug the power of your network hub and broadband router. If you have a DSL modem, turn that off too.

Wait for around 20 seconds and then plug everything back on - your DSL modem, broadband router, the network hub or switch and your computer. Put back the network cable back to your computer.

If the problem persists then it must be a hardware problem. Ask a technician to help you in replacing your network or LAN card in your computer.

I hope that these tips helped you in fixing your limited or no connectivity error problem.

Why You Should Buy Good Shoes

A friend of mine said to me that you should buy the best bed and the best shoes because if you're not in one, then you're in the other. What do you think? He actually has a good point.

This is probably the reason why I started to invest on the best shoes like Ecco shoes. They are known worldwide for quality, perfection, durability and comfort. I've read the most people who have chosen worn it never tried anything else. Now that's a reputation of quality!

These shoes have form and function. Scandinavian practicality comes through their design sensibility, smart choices, and clean lines. I specially like the comfort it gives whether I'm walking on soft soil grounds at the park or going through the concrete jungle of the city.

Reyna Sheva is next. She carries with her a jewelry box. Queen Sheva visited King Solomon and she was fascinated by him with his great wisdom, riches and great power!

Dream Appliance

I was having coffee the other day in Starbucks when I saw someone watching a movie in his laptop on the other table. He was so engrossed with the film that he didn't mind showing his reactions to the other customers at the shop.

Like him, I also react the same whenever I watch an exciting or suspenseful movie. You can say that I'm a movie and television buff. And this is the reason why I'd probably buy myself a large LCD TV if ever I win the lotto someday.

That's really one of my dream appliance. I can already imagine myself in my room, popcorn and soda at the side, and enjoying those movies with awesome special effects. That will be a fantastic visual experience.
