If you are living in the Philippines or at least have lived here for quite a while, then you might be familiar with ISP’s here serving broadband connections like Digitel and PLDT. Lately, there seems to be an outage in many areas of the country which is driving DSL subscribers nuts.
Many of us bloggers who make money online once thought that Bloggerwave is no longer active. Well, for your information, dear readers and fellow bloggers, Bloggerwave is back to help us put some cash in ours pockets.
Small businessmen are sometimes confronted with problems concerning finance. In fact even big businessmen suffer the same fate. Here in the Philippines, the economy is so uptight every business here is trying to implement some cost-cutting measures. Government agencies also do this. This is the good thing about blogging as a business - you only need very little capitalization. 
The American Idol 2008 Season 7 title comes down to two Davids. David Cook is a heavy favorite but don’t count David Archuleta out just yet. American Idol fans all over the world are debating. Hold your horse folks. Let the American text voters decide.
American Idol 2008 Results: The American Idol 2008 Season 7 Elimination Night (May 14/15) wasn’t too good for Syesha Mercado. Syesha Mercado was voted off by more than 56M text voters in America. The American Idol 2008 Season 7 title is now between the two Davids - David Cook and David Archuleta.
Here in the Philippines, summertime can be so annoying. Outdoor or indoor, the sun is too hot. Studies also show that most appliances at home suffer damage from too much exposure to sunlight. This prompts home owners to put curtains on windows to prevent too much sunlight to come in to the homes and potentially damages properties particularly those made of plastic.
An alternative to fabric curtain is also available - window blinds. Here in my own home, we use a Venetian blinds made of thin iron covered with dark yellow paint. This not only protects items inside my home but also us, residents. In addition, it also provides us with a higher level of privacy. We didn’t want our neighbors to see us (me and my wife) fighting or arguing of course.
Select Blinds has a wide array of window blinds. What I love most is the wooden type specifically the bamboo shades and bamboo blinds. Sub-categories of this include Tropical Escapes Collection, Select Natural Wood Shades, Express Woven Wood Shades, Privacy Natural Wood Shades, Woven Wood Shades, Tropical isle Bamboo Shades, among others.
Check them out if you need window blinds and see if you can find something you like.
David Archuleta is the chosen American Idol 2008 featured contestant today. Below is David Archuleta’s Youtube video of his performance during the performance night of the Top 3 American Idol contestants. Read the rest of this entry »
The American Idol 2008 Season 7 performance night saw the Final or Top 3 contestants in heavy competition against each other. The three American Idol contestants, David Cook, David Archuleta and Syesha Mercado, had their own share of criticisms from at least one of the 3 judges - Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. Now, the question boils down to this - “WHO WILL PREVAIL AMONG THE TOP 3 AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANTS?”
Do you love horror movies? Do you love scaring yourself? The latest movie Frontier(s) has a general theme like other horror movies that hit the big screen. However, in this movie, there is a different twist. If you have time, watch the trailer to find out how this film is different from already-popular horror flicks such as Nightmare on Elm Street, Jason Goes to Hell, and many more. If you love scary films and all the disturbing stuff, then this movie is right for you. Just a word of warning, this is not for the faint of heart.
Frontier(s) is actually an unrated movie and will open in select theater listings in May 9th in the United States and the DVD version will be available in May 13 this year. It may not be good for children to watch the film because it contains graphic materials. Even adults are also warned that some scenes could be extremely unpleasant and disturbing, making it an even more effective movie.
Horror films don’t actually make it to theaters because of poor script, execution, visual effects and sound effects. But this one is really very good. I actually had some goose bumps after seeing the trailer. If you have the heart and courage to see a good scary movie, then this one is it. No doubt. The controversy in the movie can be sensed when 3 men in the trailer are trying to hurt someone with an iron pipe.
Watch the trailer before you even intend to watch the film. It might disturb you deeply you’ll lose sleep. Like other friends who have watched the trailer, I wouldn’t dare watch this alone. It’s too much for me to take. I’ll scare myself with my wife when the DVD edition becomes available in my location.
As a Nursing Researcher, I have always been conscious about health. Some of my past studies dealt with heart attacks, hypertension, diabetes and nursing education. I’m happy to share this new finding with you dear readers. It has something to do with the difference between heart attack symptoms between men and women. It has been found out that current research shows that men and women have different heart attack symptoms. This is contrary to our common belief that heart attack is the same for both sexes. According to consumer.org, movies usually portray men suffering from heart attacks more often than women.
I was thinking of something to write which relates health and Mother’s Day a while back. While browsing the net, I stumbled this article by Orly Avitzur, M.D., medical adviser to Consumers Union. To all mothers, read this if you want to have healthier lives. I hope you’ll learn something from this. Happy Mother’s Day!
What advertisers do you want sponsor your blog? This is exactly the question being asked by the SocialSpark.com group to bloggers who are members of their network. For me it’s quite simple to answer - gadgets and technology advertisers. I’m a techie, a computer geek. I think the answer to their query is a no-brainer for someone like me.
Specifically, I want computer software, computer hardware and digital camera companies to sponsor this blog, despite the fact that I initially intended to write Nursing and Nursing-realted articles in this blog. On the other hand, my incessant fiddling with digital cameras, desktop computers and laptops makes me want to do some good reviews about these products. Cool thing - you talk about something you love and earn some cash along the way. Hmmmm….
More specifically, I’d like to assess and evaluate Mathematics and Statistics softwares, latest CPU’s, digital cameras manufactured by Sony, Pentax, Canon, Nikon, olympus, Kodak, Fujifilm and HP.
Cellular phones are also great products to evaluate. These could include brands like Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, LG and Sanyo.
I really love these stuffs. In fact, I am seriously thinking of creating another blog about technology and gadgets. This way, I can satisfy my own craving for technology (even if I can’t afford to buy everything I wish to have). Hehehe!
American Idol 2008 judge Paula Abdul seems to highly favor David Cook. I cannot blame Paula Abdul for liking David Cook that much because the guy is really good. For every episode of American Idol 2008 Season 7 I’ve seen, Paula Abdul has always been all-praises to David Cook.
After Jason Castro’s dismal performance in the May 6, 2008 episode of American Idol, he was voted off tonight by text voters all over America. After seeing Jason Castro’s performance of “Mister Tambourine Man”, I immediately had the funny feeling that he will be eliminated in the elimination round of the Top 4 American Idol Season 7. Too bad, Jason Castro is my wife’s favorite.
I know most Filipinos can relate with the theme of this article. Cash shortage is not an uncommon incident especially to those who belong to the not-so-affluent families. This blogger is not an exception. There had been a couple of times when I either pawned some items or sold them at very low prices. Those items included old cellphones, a digital camera and an old radio. In fact, financial difficulties force Filipinos to sell old items to friends and relatives as fast as possible. In Ilocano, we call this “pataray”- a term used to connote a fast way to make money by selling properties at very low prices, sometimes reaching even less than half the original value of the item. It might sound unfair but that’s just how life goes in the Philippines.
At present, I’m actually thinking of selling my old laptop. My desktop has been fixed and I intend to buy another brand new computer unit. I can only do this at present if I will be able to sell my laptop.
But what is the difference between selling items yourself and having someone to sell it for you? One significant difference is the time consumed when you do it yourself. It’s simply time-consuming. Besides, there is limited market exposure when only you do the work of seeking prospects for your products.
This is the advantage of using iSold It. How does it work with iSold It? Simple.
Step 1: Drop it Off.
Step 2: Watch the Action.

I really love David Archuleta tonight and his performance in American Idol 2008 Top 4 performance night. David Archuleta gave the best performance of the night as he sang “Love Me Tender”, an Elvis Presley original. David Archuleta was really appealing onstage despite the fact that some people think he’s gay.
American Idol 2008 Update: Syesha Mercado and David Archuleta showed the strongest performances in the American Idol 2008 Season 7 tonight, May 6, 2008.
Syesha Mercado brought the house down with her performance. I really liked how Syesha Mercado transformed from a shy girl onstage to a more exciting performer. Randy Jackson’s comment said it all - Syesha Mercado is “in the zone, baby!”
