THIS is a 2010 year entry.

A couple of years ago, when i was active in blog reading and exchange links with my fellow bloggers, a lot of them use WORDPRESS and i find it envious because of the PAGES page they have. Blogger was then simple but freely customized in themes.

in WORDPRESS.COM,
Changing the theme into a CUSTOMIZED theme or changing the CSS from the default themes of wordpress will Cost you. When posting, though blogging is free, when you reached your limit for their allowable free storage, there is an option whether you will have a PAID blog or not to sustain the service and have no option but leave your blog, which is unfair. CSS, Javascript are not allowed either if you want to customize your menus. It is a pain in the ass but technically, their blog dashboard is exceptional. Everything is one click away and you will not have to worry about the malwares and hoax.

in WORDPRESS.ORG
You can have the customized theme but you have to have the host for your flavorful theme. Although there are a lot of free hostings, you can never tell how will it cause you trouble from lacking and being lock of your blogsite. You will have to push to look for a paid host. 

in BLOGGER
I just found out that Pages is now open for blogger users. Click here for the tutorial or simply go to LAYOUT section in settings and  customize your blog with CSS, HTML, Javascript. Everything is in your hand, you just lay your fingers and give it a freehand to get the best of themes install for you. Fortunately, Blogger has gone bigger and blogger friendly.

Who doesn't know youtube anyways? For the past years and since internet has became phenomenal for people who embraced technology, youtube has been said the NEW television of the decade (my add on).  But i don't believe that   "Internet Killed Television", 

Some people watch youtube videos for fun, for movies (like me), some follow who shares same interest, some make videos and make fun of themselves or other, some make videos for politics and to be heard, for fashion, for beauty and some are generously giving tutorials and or  just their "video blog - vlog". 

to start with, i think ASIANS are invading youtube scene. haha, no, i mean, seriously!?. although westerns are still plugging themselves to make it in the industry and get notice, there is no way asians will be left behind. But let me share a clear thought. Of all people exerting too much effort (annoyingly idiots!) adding people who just wants to have their videos viewed; those people who are least expected to make it are actually making it big. 

RECREATIONAL FUN:
Just like Ryan Higa a.k.a. NigaHiga, a Japanese-American comedian living in Hawaii. He became popular because of his spoofs, and make-fun videos like his "How to be" series, topping it to how to be a Ninja that has been re-uploading by his 2 million subscribers. 

hmmm. i became a fan because he is Close to QUEST CREW. ahaha :D

i never knew him that much, not until i saw his "the best dance crew" video that made me laugh hard out. because of him, i discovered VICTOR KIM from Quest Crew of America's best dance crew season 3 Champion who was hella DOPE.

------------------------------------------------

DISCOVERY/DANCE:

I never knew and never came across my mind that a 3 year old kid could be as dope like this kid. He is Yi Ming Wang, a 3 or 4 year old Chinese hip-hop dancer, after became popular on youtube and facebook, he then later had guest in Ellen DeGeneres' Show. (click the link to watch the video)

he is sooo adorable, isn't he? ^^

-----------------------------------------------

THE GIFTED SINGER: 

Of course, Charice a Filipino from Laguna appeared in Star King (Korea) surprised Koreans with her talent. She sang with Super Junior's Kyu-hyun, and danced with Super Junior showcasing her talent. After singing in Ellen and Oprah with a promise, made it big in the music industry. She is the first Asian to break into the Top 10 of the Billboard album chart with her latest single Pyramid featuring Iyaz.

 

--------------------------------

THE MAKE-UP GURU:

in case you don't know Michelle Phan, i am glad to inform you that she is a Vietnamese-American make up artist based in America. She's been giving nice tutorials since 2007 and its growing. her tutorials are perfect for brunette or fair skinned asians giving the dramatic but chic (pronounce: shic`) fresh look. She is also the spokesperson of Lancome.

WEBSITE: Michelle Phan

--------------------------------

DANCE GURU:

another guy that is been topping up the youtube dance scene is Marvelous Moon, in collaboration with Philipp Chbeeb a.k.a. Pacman in some of his videos along with Hokuto Konishi. this guy is everywhere! his talent is superb, his workshops are all over the world and this man is incredible. Moon is a chinese based in America.

WEBSITE: marvelous motion

these are few of thousands of ASIANS in Youtube, a lot of aspiring artist that are making their name via social sharing sites and thru views, shares around the globe. Some of them are in already there.  hmmm what did i missed here? i better have a part 2 since my list is TOO SHORT for me. haha =P 

better leave a comment if you know some and i'll include them in my list.

When i was studying Philippine and International Laws of Customs procedures and economic treaties, by-laws and organizational laws, i learned that ASIA has the big advantage over global economy where European countries or European Union and United States joined ASIA's international treaties and alliances. It has been said to help developing countries in ASIA. Logically, when i think about it, Japan and China has been battling economic trend with US and EU and i believe they are scared of ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nation), and other Asian countries to dominate the economy considering that East Asian countries are now dominating the economy all over the world because of its huge participation in global market. China for one has largest number of investors, Japan has stable economy, Russia though communist, it is one of the newest member in APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Conference)

I see great potential for the world to benefit from Asia’s ideas and experience. We all have a lot to learn from Asia. - IMF's Managing Director, Strauss-Kahn

Did you know: that 10 Asian countries belongs to the 2010 Top 20 Billionaires Countries in the World. taken from Rich-bastards.com

Tariffs among Asian countries and Philippines are now set to ZERO. That is also the mean reason why commodities imported in Philippines are cheap and affordable. Tariffs are taxes imposed on every commodity being imported in a certain country. Since our Tariff System has been amended, tariffs are set to zero, but there some agricultural products which will affect our domestic producers, so it hasn't fully set to 0% rate yet. 
If you may notice, computer peripherals being sold in the market are relatively low compared few years ago. 
I remember, my Mom bought our first computer back in 1998. We bought IBM, which was actually too pricey at P70,000 ($1,600)  for starters like me and my siblings. We didn't know anything but to familiarize ourselves in the gadget. Compare to nowadays, you can buy a all-good computer P15,000 ($340) or if you're a gamer, computer wizard, someone who belongs in the industry, the price range from P30,000 - P100,000 ($ 680 - $2,500) respectively. 
Because of treaties among Asian countries, traveling to different ASIAN nation are also now easy. you don't have to go through a lot of process. BIMP-EAGA or (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines) made this possible. The transportation between those countries are now said to be liberated, and allowing more transportation options to meet the goal of business trends and marketing. 
ASEAN-CHINA also are now into commitment among Asian nations to further boost and help least developing countries in asian region. So if people are wondering why there are lots of goods made from China are being scattered over the Philippines and its neighboring country, US and Europe is because of this commitment of Free-Trade-Agreement or FTA. A ZERO Tariff Rate in all of the commodities coming from different countries covered with treaties and international organizations. 
Yan din ang dahilan kung bakit nag kalat ung mga China phones at yung mga puro made in China na mga gamit. Sa Pilipinas nila binabagsak ung mga produkto galing sa mga chinese investors and among others na makaka tulong para palawakin yung economy ng mga least developed and developing countries. Sadly, yung Vietnam, naunahan pa yung Pilipinas samantalang Pilipinas pa yung tumulong sa Vietnam in terms of conditions over the organizational rules and regulations and by laws. 
To top that, Asia is now contributing 70% of global economic trend, boosting global market shares.

Dear Mom, 

i know you probably reading this now, haha. I just want to say that i know i am such a stubborn but you have a huge patience towards me and my siblings. I am so sorry for that and even if you don't say it, I know you are happy to where me and my brothers are right now. just a little more patience and everything will be fine, completely.

I spank you, I pull your lips, i pinch your cheeks, i know sometimes you're annoyed but regardless of it all, you still manage to smile and laugh, like a devil laugh towards my naughtiness. i just want to make you happy :D

I love you so much Mom :) muuuah~ please, take care of yourself always.


Dear Dad, 

i know i know, i made you tampo again. i am so sorry... but i swear, i remember your day. how could i not to? right? i always thought and feel that you only wants what is best for me and my brothers and i don't ignore that. life is not perfect, our relationship, but please forgive us if we had tendencies to neglect you, but we didn't mean it. Soon, kuya will be marrying, and even if you keep on reminding me to have a boyfriend and tease you to recommend your boss' son, haha, you are still cool.

You're the coolest yet strict. My confidante and boyfriend. My Twin. haha :D

Happy Happy Birthday Dad ^^ i love you always.

Thank God!

I was really disappointed with the PRESIDENTIAL turn out votes. i wasn't expecting Joseph Estrada as Benigno Aquino's top contender. i thought filipinos learned from history. it would be acceptable if its Manny Villar, who, among surveys is in second place or Gibo Teodoro who was in the third place during campaign surveys. I honestly thought people will not vote for Joseph Estrada because of the controversies he had during his Presidency. People are still immature politically and it saddens me because media failed to nurture Filipino people not to compromise.

SENATORIAL race has top 3 celebrities. there is more than deserving before them to be on the list. Senate are for people who are educated enough in Philippine Laws. Has enough understanding of by-laws and studied law. How can you make law or implementing rules and regulations and by-laws when you don't have the idea of the constitution itself? What now, be an ACTOR and pretend you have memorized the script?

COUNCILORS is even worst. POLITICAL DYNASTY. need i say more?

its been since my old hard disk was replaced with a new one. unfortunately, my data cables are not getting compatible when i try to combine my two hard disk. with that, i cannot open my files. yes.. my files. i have a separate hard disk for desktop/OS and files. so anyway, here is what i found through my photo account.

i made this a year ago, for a friend. the Guild is called GENOCIDE, from Valkyrie server of philippine Ragnarok. Who doesn't know Ragnarok anyway? for GAMERS, Money Market or E-Commerce people in field of Gaming, and Online Games enthusiast. Ragnarok is the first MMORPG who hit the online gaming industry. i made a lot of different colors for different variety to choose from, and yet this is too feminine i guess. all final graphics are transparent in background and saved it in PNG.

Election nanaman sa Pilipinas. Nung malaman kong Automated Election na sa darating na May 10, 2010, natuwa ako. Sabi ko, pwede naman pala eh, dapat dati pa. Tumakbo ang oras, dumaan ang mga araw, nagkaka problema ung mga materyales na gagamitin sa ilang araw bago ang botohan. Sabi ng COMELEC wala daw problema, kelangan lang daw ireformat yung mga memory cards or chips kasi for testing pala yung lahat ng code na naka program.

Nitong mga nakaraang araw, dami lumalabas na problema sa mga PCOS Machines. Biglang nag deklara agad ng IPAGPALIBAN daw ung halalan sabi ng Election Adviser ni Arroyo. Wtf!? Imbis na mag tulungan, dami pang nag didiwang na nagkaka problema ung mga makinaryang gagamitin sa araw ng eleksyon. Comelec is still pushing through and still keeping things under their control. And yet, some people want to delay the election. In short.

Wala talagang may gustong umasenso ang Pilipinas.

Si Noynoy, nagsalita agad about sa People Power, parang tanga lang. Hindi pa nga nag bobotohan, nagbitiw na agad ng salita as if kanya na agad na agad ung trono. Ayoko kay Noynoy kasi puro salita.

Si Villar, kaka gawa ng dirty tactics laban sa kalaban nya, ayan tuloy doble doble pa yung bumabalik sa mga ginagawa nya. Political Ads ng political ads, burning money. OO na mayaman ka na, eh kung binibigay nya nalang ng tulong yun sa mga mas nangangailangan, edi may napala pa sya.

Si Gibo, tatahi-tahimik and pasensyoso. Sya tuloy yung inindorso ni Pastor Quibuloy. Pero tuta pa rin sya ng Gobyerno.

Si Eddie Villanueva, napanood ko yung documentary sa GMA 7 about his "ASSETS" ang dami ha... infairness to him, sya yung director ng mga SCHOOLS na pwede nya pagka kitaan. sa totoo lang? MARAMI talaga.

Si Gordon, ETO Sana iboboto ko eh kaso, pinayagan nya ang illegal sa Subic. Oo naging maganda ang subic. pero dahil din sa kanya kaya maraming illegal sa Subic.

Sana after ng halalan, may patunguhan naman yung Pulitiko sa Pilipinas. Sabi ni Noynoy Aquino, ilalagay nya sa DILG si Binay. I really hope and wish to see Binay na hawakan nya DILG. Makati nga nagawa nya ayusin eh, how much more sa national.

Kelan ba magiging malinis ang halalan dito sa Pilipinas?

Sino ba iboboto ko?

Pres: Benigno Aquino (kasi ayaw ko iboto si Villar. Ayaw ko rin sa Tuta ng gobyerno. ayaw ko rin sa trapo. ayaw ko rin ng gumagamit ng salita ng dyos para iboto sya ng tao. ayaw ko sa pro-gamble.)

 Vice-Pres: Binay. (hindi dahil inindorso sya ni Chiz Escudero, pero kasi naniniwala ako kay Binay. Ayaw ko kay Loren, Sinungaling.) 

 Senators: Ralph Recto (sya ang dahilan kung bakit nagkaroon ng ipinagyayabang na PONDO ang gobyerno - VAT). Miriam Defensor (magaling sa batas and may prinsipyo), Pia Cayetano. Franklin Drilon, Kata Inocencio, Liza Maza, Satur Ocampo, Sergio Osmeña,  Gilbert Remulla,

Yan lang.

Trivia: may napanood ako sa TV5, ung DOKUMENTADO. they have been watching political candidates. and natawa ako, merong isang tumatakbo sa pagka konsehala sa Makati, tinanong sya about sa parking fees sa Makati, HINDI NYA ALAM. and yung sa stalls sa makati, 500 ang binabayaran. HINDI NYA RIN ALAM. tumakbo pa sya, ang dami nyang hindi alam sa lugar na tinatakbuhan nya. wew.

I am a big fan of youtube. you get to watch real people doing crazy stuff that don't even think what people will comment to. To name a few, Ryan Higa, who wouldn't have known him anyway?, and the famous CHARLIE Bit ME that has been re-mixed, edited and reenact. Of course there still a lot of good videos out there.

Couple of months ago, while i was browsing to some of my favorite people, i found this "EMPTY SUITCASE PROJECT". I honestly thought that it was the continuation of Blair Witch Project or related to the movie. I was dumbfounded when i had a big mistake. It is a charity project of JEREMY MANONGDO, a Filipino talented singer living in America, gathering school materials in his suitcase for the unfortunate children from poor/least developed countries in Africa. Actually a lot of Filipino and Americans, talented young famous people are promoting this project. To name some, Jeremy's girlfriend Claire Etter (click the names to watch the videos) who is a German, made a video helping for a cause.Gabe Bondoc, a Filipino singer based in America is too helping Jeremy, promoting this project in his mini concert/s. There are a lot of young influential people living in America doing this opportunity to save children, to save less fortunate people in Tanzania. We too can make a difference.  

I felt proud when i watched the 4 part videos. Being a Filipino is such an honor. Filipinos known nowadays all over the world. The talent, the advocacies, the love for country, the democracy, the People itself, and now trying to make a difference all over the world.

i really wanted to help. nowhere to be found by his suitcase because i live oceans apart from his country and he's been traveling across the country of Europe and America. I hope, by spreading his advocacy, there is a big contribution i already made. A lot of Filipino celebrities are doing charity but traveling through his passion (singing), carrying him with empty suitcase and share advocacy is a hero.

Last week, my brother told me that his laptop

ACER Aspire 5738G

got infected of Obama video link virus spreading through Facebook. He said, he will reformat his notebook because of outnumbered viruses... I stopped him. Of course he knows best and he knows what he should do. But i was flaunting off my bestfriend softwares, i assured my brother to follow my advice and there is a no need for his planned action anymore. From what my brother used to know about me was, i am his human VIRUS. hahaha, when we used to be together i am fond of downloading a lot of files in our desktop PC that are for my personal intentions and use it productively...  =)) (greedy! ahaha). inevitably, our pc will be warned by unknown malwares and hoax coming from my files, then he would just scratch his head off and say, "nu ba yang mga dinadownload mo kase".



DISCLAIMER: these are all fact based and not just my opinion. plus, i am not being paid for sharing this thoughts. this is a personal blog. period.

For the record, I downloaded the programs at FileHippo.



SOFTWARES/PROGRAMS YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN YOUR PC's PERFORMANCE:
(A MUST HAVE before anything ELSE = Comodo)

1. Comodo AntiVirus version 4 / Comodo Internet Security 4.0 / Comodo Anti-Malware a.k.a COMODO Internet Security 4 - what makes this software different from other antivirus programs?, take it from my experience, even the NEWEST VIRUS, MALWARES and Rootkits that is hard to detect can be DELETED by this amazing, yes, Amazing program/s. I tried every antivirus that is known in the market and none of them aside (well.. at least) from McAfee did a very well job in cleaning our pc from hoax, rootkits, malwares and complete viruses/trojans/worms. Kaspersky, Avast, and even the gamer's antivirus "AVG" is one wiped-out by Comodo Internet Security. No exaggeration, i am telling the truth.

Comodo Internet Security detects websites that are infected with malwares, virus and rootkits that may harm our computers. I suggest discontinue if warned.

For Online Virus and Malware scan, click here. Read my review here.

2. Ccleaner - 100% sure am i, we are all fond of browsing around our favorite browsers like the famous Mozilla Firefox, IE 8, Google Chrome, who doesn't know about Apple's Safari 4? and Opera 10 mobile/web browser. (i will do a review off all these sometime this month), Hence after using it, we just let it left alone and do our deepest sleeps after using our computers. You should run Ccleaner after browsing the web to eliminate unwanted downloaded files, cookies that (not all time but mostly) contributes lag or delay to our PC's performance.

3. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - click the title for more information about the software. although you have already the Comodo Software, secondary or a backup programs are advisable must haves in your desktop. Not just for the security but to keep you/us updated of all malwares available, uploaded by cyber trash people who knows nothing but to ruin and hack our accounts, whatever form it may be.

4. Microsoft Security Essentials - last but not the least, the Microsoft Essentials. Click the title to know further about the program. You need to have a licensed Windows/OS to be able to use this. Or if pirated no harm in trying if this will work for your computer. This is one way best to have after Malwarebytes, because other malicious programs are left undetected in previous program, and sometimes hiding among our files specially if you do not regularly update your programs.


I am no expert to speak about the programs, but knowing and understanding the information technology, hardware and software i've been exposed at, is a key for me to share this information to you. I may not be the best to talk and pin out the characteristics of these softwares, i deeply apologize for the ambiguity, but through my experience using these programs.

i no longer download files at Download.com because of MULTIPLE virus that is being detected by Comodo. i am not saying do not visit the site, but thats my experience.

i've been listening a lot to this song "BELIEF - GAVIN DEGRAW" lately. Not only because it captured me during Holy Week but it marked me when i saw the lyrical dance of America's Best Dance Crew Season 3 Winner: Quest Crew member, Dominic Sandoval a.k.a. D-trix...






Over the past years, what i have been blogging was Myself. if not, my experiences about the people around me. looking back. thinking aloud, it always boils down to one - my emotions. i read some of my old post and i was laughing a lot how childish i was to write about my emotions and not how i evolve and mature over my experiences and as a writer.

there i was labeling A LOT. labeling like a beginner, "for your information, summer is here, and etc," when in fact i could just have it labeled "Random, Uncategorized, Summer, Information Technology and etc" that would look professionally and organized.

i lost my blogmates because of a malware that hit my old blog

http://miztakumi.blogspot.com

i changed the link already to avoid the spread of harm. i miss my old blog. i miss seeing how i started 4 years ago. people who influenced me to blog more, who inspired me to continue the battle though i sometimes can't win, people who touched me with their stories, who evolved only in cyber space and do nothing but harm, learned that every blogger has its own abilities to inspire people whether in a short quoted message or a long story that would just end in one - hatred. i used to love blog by its presentation. by how they present their blog to its followers because i believe blog is a reflection of your personality. but in a cut of a message i read somewhere, it proved me wrong. that even in a simple plain white designed blog has a beautiful person blogging their beautiful life. 


my old blog was too familiar in all sorts of blog rings that is popular in every blogger before. fortunately, how my blog vanished, they too changed their services. technorati no longer host ping for blogs, ricebowljournal no longer do the list just like bloggers.com, the Open Mind no longer give banners and buttons for those blogs who want to support their advocacies and a lot more. majority of those, no longer do their old services but evolved and updated. from what i learn, those social blog networks are just another tool to boost your blog visits but what is essential is How you capture and touch your visitors and make them come back for more and not just a visitor who bump into to your blog and leave empty.


i too evolved now. from being a familiar emotional blogger, to a more passionate about life. do my advocacy to help people even in a little blogging way, to inform and share about my knowledge and educate people of what i have. and to get involve that will mold me to be mature, a better person not just a blogger.

Social Networking has been part of our everyday lives nowadays. Whether we are a cyber gamer or a real person - indeed who is into online marketing. Hence, people are getting crazy over thousands of networking sites that is popping up in the e-market. Business sector, private people, celebrities, media and even politicians are embracing the world of social networking, oh, not to mention the Prince of United Kingdom :D. Anyway, I too is a victim of Social "Network" (having multiple accounts), and i can't handle them anymore and decided to leave it alone.

I was browsing through my cellphone when i bumped into Ping. It was just a freebie/bundled from the site i was browsing through. At first, i didn't mind it at all because i'm not too interested, but it keeps on reminding me whenever i browse other sites. then i gave it a click. annoyed i was, i clicked it. I found out that it is an ALL-in-ONE Application to all Social Networking you know and working with. Sounds fun right?

I was really amazed because i never thought that is possible. It's a win-win application for all web geek and tech people out there.

Twitter is a "Must Have" now in every industry. It is now the fastest way to inform people in your sector. Trending topic is great indication of empowering people.

So, if you are a type of person who works with MULTIPLE application, now you can handle them in just ONE click - PING IT!. Who would have thought that internet makes it really possible. How does PING works?, connect all your other social network applications, like facebook, tumblr, twitter, yahoo meme, and other networking sites. And once connected, type in your Status message in the message box and click PING IT~. And its done! they will be all published in one, simultaneously. In just one application everything is UPDATED :)
