I love pizzas! I'd like to add on other than what I have answered. I don't really have any particularly brand and as long as I all ingredients are grown organically I'm cool with that. If there are eight toppings available, I will order a family size pizza, thin crust, extra cheese, cheese on the edge, divide into fourths and on each fourth two toppings to fill in the eight and a cup of coffee. Would that be interesting? Now, how would you like your pizza be?

I will start my entries on music and bass guitar in particular which is one of my favorite musical instrument by the way. As far as I remember I already started played the bass guitar when I was 15. What I can say basically one of the most important part in this craft is the word "PRACTICE". Now, I'm not emphasizing one essential part from the other because that's is why it is called essentials. When these parts are put together in playing the bass or any particular instrument make perfect sense.
Theory is also is important. Even if you practice everyday with no less than two hours a day and not know what you're playing about well guess what, you might be playing off-note.
The next thing among essentials is having a good ear. Having a good ear means that you can play the bass or the musical instrument you're specializing by ear. It is not really to force yourself into have a perfect ear but a good sense of hearing music and play it on your own. There is always a freedom to revised any song and make it your own. In fact I encourage you to create your own style and go beyond and tap into the resources of your creative mind.
And the last thing for me I believe is character. Have you ask yourself how well would I be in a band setting? Or what is your attitude towards other musician? How do you regard them as part of the team whether he/she is a professional or a beginner?
In many cases there will be misunderstandings between you and your team mates. How do you react to the situation determines the success of the team and will also reflect yourself as a musician. Try not to be a show off or somebody will turned off. Be honest of yourself. Focus on what you need to achieve. Have fun! Don't do it for the money(if you can) and do what you love to do and the rewards will be great later on.
I will make an effort to post at least once a week regarding bass guitar lesson. I won't make it a promise but as long as I play I will post my thoughts and other inputs for you to use for free!
Next time I will start with the basics on bass guitar.

Two weeks ago, I got my new steel toe shoes. I though this is as comfortable from what I had and it doesn't. Good thing I still have the paddings from my other shoe. My toes hurt especially on the sides and they are a bit compressed. I really need to change from my old shoes 'cause water is seeping like a river in even if there's light showers. It would be nicer to have a comfy rubber shoes but it is not allowed where I work now. So I have to bear this for few a months. Definitely I will not use this other than for work.
Talking about shoes, I do have a stylish shoes but I use them very seldom. I feel awkward. It's like wearing Mc Don***'s shoes! :-D I think no feet is made equal. Maybe that's why there are a lot of shoes out there. Your feet be the judge! Check my survey you all!

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0. and now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Desperate
********************************************
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package,while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/I THOUGH! T YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Snoring Loudly. WAV files. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program.
These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck,
Tech! Support
If you need an everyday car, what would it be? Yes, I choose Mazda 3 from all other competitors. I find this car sporty and yet can be used day in, day out. For now, I don't own one but as far as the need rises this is my best choice. But at that time it would probably be out of style. I wouldn't mind because I take a car as a necessity rather than a luxury and I find this brand a good one that could last than expected.

It has been two years since the battle began on which technology to use for High Definition DVD. It ended when Toshiba favoured Blue Ray and although it still supports HD DVD players it will end production this March. Sony started with blue ray players which made clear the real winner. Movie industry giant Warner Brothers and Wal-Mart also recently choose blue ray.
Most of our decisions are based on our belief systems and all of it started from childhood. Things like where we came from, how did the stars above us formed and how old is the earth. And questions like, “Do plants breathe?”, “What am I going to today?” Some of them might be still coming from “Old Wives Tales”, superstition and other form of spirituality. It could be what our teachers taught us and based on observations find it to be correct then we hold on that fact and to the next. Small stuff that matters and some don’t make part of who we are on how we make our decisions.
Some decisions are made instantaneously without you thinking over it and some are needed to be dealt with in a certain time frame. Others might need help from their friends, love ones, superiors or to anybody for small bits of information before making the final decision.
I have read a book about making decisions in life. I have learned that what you decide to day will affect your tomorrow. Some are difficult, some are easy. One decision can make you regret for your whole life or the other way around. Big as it is like settling down and have children or drinking a bottle of soda every meal but you might think is just a small thing but it could worth you life later on as a result.
So decide on what’s important. Ask for guidance from mature people and who are righteous. Think on what is good and pleasing not just to others but also to your Creator. I assure you before you know it you won’t be disappointed that you made the right decision.

Today I'm starting my journey in the world of PHP and MySQL and Apache. I have little understanding of what kind of programming language this is until reading through other information found in the net. Thanks to the net the information what I need is really where to look for. Well to some this might be an understatement but who knows, somebody like me out there in the vastness of the internet I can be stumble with and start learning together!
Learning PHP is one of the challenging venture that I am in now. My goal is to learn this language and help understand how applications work in the web and perhaps someday make a business out of it. If others have found their way earning money in the real world and in the net why can't I. It's just a matter of motivation and perseverance.
I believe that no person in this world is born dumb. Some are just lazy. Like for me for instance, I was lazy to learn programming. I had taken classes before. The only thing got me lazy is when the course stopped because the instructor wasn't there anymore to continue until the end of the course. What a waste. I have invested time and money on that just to know he wasn't committed to the work given him. I got the certificate but left on the shelf with no use.
Now, I am back. I have my resources on the net and the same time I have my own computer to learn all this cluttered understanding of the information technology and what opportunity it has to offer me.
I hope you will be motivated as you read this. Don't give up hope. Start young. Do best.
It's been a while since my last post. I wasn't able to write. My work load is catching me up very fast and I need to be in a position that all pending requests could at least be taken care of on time. I have so much to think about and what to do when I go home to my country. I will be jobless at that time.I am thinking of things that I need to do and finish in the coming months before leaving here. First is my time to finish up one more Access Database for my department. Inventory of all biomedical equipments in the hospital and updating the records. Then inventory of items/stock which I believe it is already in mess before I came here. Although this is not required or part in my job description as to program a database, I feel that there is a need to do so to keep up with what's going on and how things are doing.
Ahhh.. . . It might take a while to post again. But I am doing my best to cope up with everything. . . 'Til next time!

I was searching for a domain name from domain sellers which i believe to be very unique. I came across networksolutions.com yesterday to see if my selected domain name is available. The site looks okay. I tried their service and innocently typed in my domain name and the result was it is still available. I didn't buy it yet because I was hoping I could buy it another domain seller and there's a lot out in the net. Then I came across Y**** Business site and tried the same domain that I have previously searched on networksolutions.com and it said it is NOT available already. I was surprised because as far as I am concerned I didn't purchase any domain name yet. I used wh***.net to verify that domain name and the result? It is already owned by networksolutions.com in just a few minutes, imagine that!
I was enraged by this! Then I tried to check the name on that same site. And the result? It is available if you buy it from them! Now I realized they are on of those domain name investors around. Who buys domains(unique) and sell them at a higher price.
I though maybe I'll consider buying the domain name from them since it is just less than what I expected in a year's price. On the process of applying there are SO MANY bundles like additional hosting, web enhancement, what have you. I bypassed the bundles and on the way to check out, they still include the bundles? All I wanted is my domain and it is just like forcing me to buy the other bundles from them which I don't like!
This is the first time I have encountered and never on other people. Have you ever come across this situation? This serves as a warning to those who are going get you domain names registered. I highly disapprove using networksolutions.com's service to search for your targeted domain names.
Here are some tips to avoid this from happening:
1. First of all, think of a unique domain names as you can and write it down on paper.
2. After you have listed the names, use the search bar on your favorite browser. This the easiest way to look in the net if your dream domain name is still available. You'll know this by checking if the domain is connect to a domain extension like domainname.com, domainname.net, domainname.org, to name a few.
3. Search on the domain seller if you finally decided to buy the domain.
4. Be careful because if you accidentally misspelled it, there's no coming back to edit the domain. If that happens, you end up buying another domain. That's ok if you have lot's of money to start with.
5. Enjoy your new domain. If you have your website ready on a host then share it to friends, family and online communities to gain traffic.
Happy searching!

The latest innovation in the guitar world! Just release by Gibson last month! The world's first robot guitar.
A guitar perfect for beginners because they don't have a problem in tuning the guitar. Just follow simple instructions and presto! Your guitar is tuned in no time. Some pro musician might be skeptical because it is a new thing (I got a headache at first and I'm not a pro yet). Imagine you can tune the guitar with ease, in between songs of course. You can also change strings in a flash! I have the money, I would buy this rig. Would you?

For now, I am watching movies from my cable TV subscription because my location is far away from the theatre. Imagine this: thirty minutes after you're out of the house, you have to wait at least twenty minutes. After reaching the nearest town. You have to ride for another full hour just to get to the city. And a last ride just to get there for another ten minutes or so. So tiring, isn't it?
Maybe if I transfer back to where I was a year ago, then I would be able watch movies in the theatre more often with my girlfriend. How I wish I'm close to home. . . And I miss it, either buy the DVD or wait for it on paid subscription.

101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just the way I did.

Have you ever wondered when can an ordinary person like you and me experience weightlessness for just a few minutes? Have you ever dreamed in your lifetime to travel into space? Well others might say “Geez, I am not an astronaut!” Before it would take millions of dollars, still is, to take a single space mission. Not to mention the qualifications to be an astronaut. Have hope, space travel is now affordable and you don’t have to be one.
Virgin Galactic is the first company to commercialize space travel. They won the ten-million-dollar challenge called Ansari X-Price back in 29.09.2004 to promote space tourism. The company revolutionized space ship design that significantly reduced the cost. They have recently unveiled Space Ship Two and its design.
I was just wondering what's next. Hmmmm.... Mars perhaps?
Paypal announced today that you can withdraw your money through your local bank in the Philippines! At least in my email today. This blog news might be redundant for Paypal users in the Philippines because you already know it by now through your emails too. This is a good announcement for those who are having second thoughts of enrolling with the service since withdrawals before was not that convenient. I, myself had second thoughts because it was just limited in the states. Now I more willing to use the service and the convenience of withdrawing my money.

I received an message from one of my friends and this could be a good information in fighting against dengue. Unfortunately, this is something the medical community will not take into deep consideration since this might be rare cases or mere coincidences. If this has been practiced in some form another in the early days, this could be a good thing. Here's how the story goes...
Speak out: Cure for dengue?
By Bernardo Rocha Calibo
Director, National Police Commission 7
THERE is hope that the dengue scourge will be obliterated. I was in a meeting in Manila recently with other N apol com officials. While waiting for my flight back to Cebu , I happened to talk with friends. The conversation eventually turned to dengue. Some of their statements shocked me. I called up the persons concerned and they confirmed these revelations.
Computer technician Wenceslao Salesale Jr., 27, was downed by dengue. His platelet count plunged from 180 to 80. He was rushed by ambulance from Novaliches to Manila . Inside the ambulance, a relative, acting upon the advice of a missionary priest, made him drink soup made from camote tops. The following day, his platelet count became normal.
Dengue attacked the 7-year-old daughter of engineers Mar and Lita Budlongan of Kaloocan City . Her platelet count read 80. The same treatment was used. The following day she was back to normal.
The 15-year-old daughter of businessman Nepomuceno Salaga of Sampaloc, Manila had a dangerous platelet count of 80 due to dengue. The same treatment was followed. The following day she was back in school.
I asked a doctor of medicine about herbal cures and he said that many, if not most, medicines come from plants. He also said that under the Hippocratic Oath, doctors are bound encourage anything that can cure a patient.
Research
We need not do research deep in the rainforests of the Amazon or venture into the ocean depths in search of the elusive cure for dengue. It is right there in the backyard.
The following information is from Wikipedia:
'In 1992, the Center for Science in the Public Interest compared the nutritional value of sweet potatoes to other vegetables. Considering fiber content, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron and calcium, the sweet potato ranked highest in nutritional value. According to these criteria, sweet potatoes earned 184 points, 100 points over the next
on the list, the common potato (NCSPC).'
'...Sweet potato tops are excellent sources of antioxidative compounds, mainly polyphenolics, which may protect the human body from oxidative stress that is associated with many diseases including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Sweet potato greens have the highest content of
total polyphenolics among other commercial vegetables studied.
'Sweet potatoes contain protein, dietary fiber, lipid, and essential minerals and nutrients such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfur, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, aluminum and boron. Sweet potatoes are also important sources of vitamin A,
thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and ascorbic acid.'
Camote
In the case of Salaga, he bought five sheaves (bugkos/ bigkis) of camote cuttings. Each sheaf consists of about 12 cuttings. Each cutting measures about one foot. A sheaf costs about P5.
Camote tops are boiled in water to extract the juice. The boiling lasts for about five minutes. A little salt is used to give flavor to it. The patient is made to drink slowly and gradually. The body's immunity system is thus revived, making dengue helpless against the body's natural defenses. Camote enables the body to heal itself.
Now you know why I earlier said that my friends' revelations shocked me. They were shocking because people are needlessly dying all around us from dengue, while their very cure is also all around us.
In the past, many were fond of using the derogatory statement, 'Go home and plant camote.
' Now, camote is big news. It can save lives. What could be bigger than that?
So, to fortify your family against dengue, 'Go home and plant camote!'
(Engr. Lita Budiongan and Mr. Nepomuceno Salaga personally related to me their experiences

I came across some features from my Multiply account (http://muskobajista.multiply.com/) and it is very useful and convenient at the same time. You know why? At some point or another some of us have created at least two free accounts somewhere in the net like Blogger.com, Multiply.com, among others. And managing your blogs is sometimes a mess and reaching out to different readers in another group is a must!
Like for me example I feel that I need to post the same blog to another group, which I like sharing, and posting it takes a little bit of time especially long ones. It is not that a little bit more time reposting it to my other account is a drag but for me it is more convenient. It's just like hitting two birds with one stone. Create once, post twice. By the way, this entry was written in my Multiply account. Cool!
If you have a Multiply account, please check out "Cross-Posting" from your "Posting Options" settings.

Hmmm...
Interesting way of keeping logs on the Internet. This is convenient since I don't have to keep a physical journal with me and if there’s a need to blog I can access to it anytime. My greatest fear though if the web shuts down and all of my posts will be gone! But with all the great technology it is unlikely to happen.
