Back on Track

and I'm back!

sooo many things to share... and everything's happening soooo FAST..... and im savoring every moment because I'm sure I can't go back from everything bright and wonderful that's occurring right now.

and yes... I've heard about the ongoing recession and how it's affecting us.. but can't you guys see the light side of it all?? It's a good time to start anew and re assess everything about YOURSELF and how you handle issues about "money". Now, where did that come from?

Ahhh.. will share about that sometime later....

Thank you for leaving a comment in my blog..... would get back at you right after. ;)

All the best!

On Leave

Will be on blog leave for a few days. Wouldn't matter since I've been always on leave the past few months...

I'm still around though... :)

and missing y`all.

Pool Dawg

Are you into billiards / pool ? Or because you are soooo into the game you have your own at home? Or you might own a bar or resort with billiards? :P

There's a website I found who retails Pool Cue or any billiards equipment. With over 3,000 products and 700+ models of pool cues to choose from, its no wonder PoolDawg is the #1 destination for billiards.

It's also easy for you to check their products because they have categories for it for your convenience. You can shop by products (what products you want), you can shop by brand (if you have a particular brand in mind), you can also shop by price (if you have a budget or to fit your budget).

Their promise to you? Same day shipping, Free Ground Shipping on all orders over $75, Easy returns and 60 day money back guarantee, and most important of all Superior Customer Service.

Good people with fast shipments. An excellent firm to do business with.
-Paul H.

You can also give the gift of billiards with a PoolDawg Gift Certificate! Gift Certificates make the perfect present for friends, family, and business associates. Gift certificates will be delivered via email.

They also have a lot of articles that is pretty much related to billiards and would aid you: such as Tips for 8 Ball, 20 Tips for improving your game, or 50 tips for better all-around pool and more. They even have a maintenance tips and a page for terminologies.

Egypt: Papyrus Factory

Papyrus Papers - the first paper in the world and is very much associated to Egypt.

Papyrus plants grew almost exclusively in the region of the Nile delta and the dry climate made it possible for papyri to endure, in most cases, for over 2 millenia. The use of papyrus as a writing material goes back to extreme antiquity. The oldest written papyrus known to be in existence is, according to Kenyon (The Paleography of Greek Papyri, Oxford, 1899), an account-sheet belonging to the reign of the Egyptian king Assa, which is conjecturally dated circa 2600 B.C.

Got a chance to see how a papyrus paper is made at one of their factories. They have nice collections of paintings done on a papyrus paper. Kinda expensive though. *oh well*

Pictures aren't allowed daw.. but I managed to get one before they said that. Hehe. *peace*

Diet Blog

The Diet Industry or the Weight Loss Industry is one business that is booming. But, sometimes not everything about this industry would give you the best results.

As a customer you would want to know whether the stuffs they say on TV, magazines or advertisements are really true. Want to know which diet pill, weight loss program, book or device would work for you and helped a lot of people or which ones are popular? Well, I found a website called DietBlogTalk.com. A site which is pretty much dedicated to anyone who consumes any type of diet pill, weight loss program, book or device. They have diet reviews.

They have an open forum for those new consumers to see what those existing clients/customers got to say with different products and services available in the industry. Don't just rely on what the company selling it got to say.... better get their customers to tell you what their product or service has to offer.

Like you - those existing customers wants their "satisfaction" guaranteed and here you would get to find out which diet pill works best or weight loss program achieves the best result.

How does the website work?
They created a system where each consumer posts a comment and classify their posting as Positive, Negative, or Undecided. Since some of the most popular products or programs have hundreds of postings, they have tallied their classifications so that you can see what the general consensus or ‘popular vote’ is. Additionally, Dietblogtalk.com's editors have provided a brief and unbiased summary of each product for your convenience.

Also you are free to add your comments, feedbacks or questions. They don't require you to provide an e-mail address to submit a posting. All postings are reviewed before going live on the site to block any vulgar comments, spam or unnecessary/irrelevant comments.

You can view a list of the top weight loss products or weight loss programs, or diet book or services with a ‘Positive’ customer classification of 75% or higher below.

Have a fun time using DietBlogTalk.com!

Egyptian Museum

This museum is home to the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the world. Of course, it should have the most extensive collection since it's in Egypt for crying out loud.

Established by the Egyptian government in 1835. They exhibit more than 120,000 collections. This is located at Tahrir square, Cairo, Egypt.

It's also the first big museum, I've ever been too. Photographs are not allowed inside, so I can’t show what’s inside the museum.

It contains a lot of coffins (made out of granite, limestone or covered with gold), statues, tables, jewelries, the treasures found from King Tutankhamen's tomb, weapons, instruments, chariots, and other stuffs .

Of course this is where you will see the mummies - they have a Royal Mummy Room and you have to pay for another extra to go inside. We did not get to go inside because almost everyone’s itching to get out of the place - medyo mainit rin ang museum plus everyone’s tired.

This is also where one of the scenes in the blockbuster hit movie "The Mummy" was shot.

Golden Age of Multimedia

I have always wanted to learn more about video production. And, I did venture to that once or twice in our Multimedia Class and another one when a friend of mine asked for help. But, I stopped since I need to focus on what I have at hand. But, one day.. I will go back.

Talking about multimedia and video production.....

I know of this group of people ( Chicago Video Production ) who can produce videos for you. Be it for corporate, training, trade show, recruitment, marketing, sales, tv or promotional video. They can even hire the actors for you!

Richter Studios can shoot the scene in any format from any location. Or, if you already have the footage, but need that special post-production touch to bring out the magic - they can do that as well. They have world class editors and animators who can help you with that. They have an award winning team that can make your video production an attention-grabbing masterpiece!

They don't just deal with videos! Other services they offer are Web and Interactive Production Services.

A lot of their clients usually requests for web version of videos, and so to cater their client's need and the constant demand of those web version of videos, they have extended their services to the World Wide Web. And to make sure that you are really dealing with PROFESSIONALS, here is the proof:


"Richter Studios created the award-winning Pinehurst Virtual Tour, which features over 70 videos, dozens of animations, PDF’s and interactive slide shows - all created in-house by the Richter Studios team."

An All Digital Workflow + World Class Talent = Richter Studios

Coffeee Award

Got this Coffee Award from Avy.

THANK YOU. You know I Love Coffee.

And speaking of "I Love Coffee", which is actually an existing local band here in Davao and I kinda know the vocalist/composer. Not just kinda, but we are in the same business. Hehe.

They have their song out and it's being played in Killerbee 89.1 every Mondays from 9pm - 11pm @ the Indie Top 20 Show hosted by Rod Rodriguez. *tama ba? host rin ba yang sa radio station?*. They play mga unsigned, underground music. It's being required that all radio stations in Davao should also play "Indie Local Bands" and so Killerbee got their own show for that.

The song is "This Time Around" by I Love Coffee and you can watch and listen sa song below, courtesy ng YouTube. *would have to do something about the Video one of these days.. i revise ko pa, pero it will do as of now*

I personally like this song. Really, really. It can be sang by a boy or a girl. Hayyyy. They make good songs you know. So far, they recorded three songs pa lang. But, Kuya Jimuel (the composer/songwriter) got a total of 30 songs or more unrecorded. WOW!

and you can call Killerbee 89.1 to cast your vote here: (082)305-8910

Selling Back Your Books

Itching to get those old books out of your house ? I have a couple of books that I would like to dispose of as well. Why not earn money from them? There's a website I found who buys used / old books from readers. Yay.

Sell Back Your Book is an online book shop where you get to sell and buy old / used books. They buy all kinds of new and used books. The process for selling your books to them is as easy as one, two, three.

What you need to do is, simply, enter the ISBN numbers for each book that you want to sell them in the box that is provided in their front page and then press the 'Price Books' button. They would display the price they are willing to pay. If you are OK with the price simply press the 'Add to My Cart' button and you're ready to check out - or even enter more books you want to sell.

You can even Sell TextBooks to them. Textbooks usually loose their value quickly, so you better act now and sell them today. Sell Textbooks and get paid! Just that simple!

and here's more: You can use their FREE prepaid shipping label and they will prepay the shipping! No out-of-pocket cash required to ship them your textbooks or old books!

Great Sphinx of Giza

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a half-human, half-lion Sphinx statue found in Egypt. It is also the largest monolith statue in the world and one of the world's oldest statue.

The Great Sphinx was believed to stand as a guardian of the Giza Plateau, where it faces the rising sun. In the Old Kingdom, it was the focus of solar worship. It's LION form, has long been a symbol associated with the sun in ancient civilizations.

With all it's grandeur in history, nowadays it is facing one of the world's famous franchise - Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yikes. Of all the opponents to face... it's facing a chicken for crying out loud.

"8 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME"

1. I am a person who enjoys talking to people with the same "wavelength" as mine. I kind of find it hard to keep a good conversation flowing if the wavelengths don't match. Not that I don't like to talk but it's just a bit hard... if the wavelength's a bit off? you know what I mean?
   


2. When it comes to chips I prefer Taquitos, Kornets and Cheese Ring. Any cheese flavored chips will do also.
3. I love books. This is actually an obvious fact and since this is totally random I am including it here na lang. Check Espresso Break.
   
4. Enjoys traveling. But, when it comes to traveling - I enjoy road trips better.
   
5. Is curious about other dimensions, angels, and a whole lot of mysterious, enchanting things. I don't talk much about it though. Oh, actually it depends on who I am talking too.
   
6. mildly interested in Psychology. is amazed at Avy for having this course. oh and Chaya, for wanting to take it up here.
   
7. loves the rain.
   
8. enjoys collecting notebooks. Hehe.
   

Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza

A pyramid is any three-dimensional polyhedron where the faces other than the base are triangular and converge on one point, called the apex.

The base of a pyramid can be any polygon but is typically a square, leading to four non-base faces. - from Wikipedia.

The most famous pyramids are the ones found in Egypt.

There are three pyramids in Giza - there is the Khufu's Pyramid, Khafre's Pyramid and Menkaure Pyramid.

Khufu's Pyramid, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. - from Wikipedia

Khafre's Pyramid, is the second largest and the tomb of Pharoah Khafre. The pyramid has a base length of 215.25 m (707 ft) and originally rises to a height of 143.5 m (471 ft) The Pyramid is made of Limestone blocks(weighing more than 2 tons each). - from Wikipedia

Menkaure's Pyramid, is the smallest among the three pyramids and the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure. It was probably completed that time between the 26th century BC.

I wasn't expecting to be THERE - for real - but there I am standing right in front on one of the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World and the only surviving structure in modern times. Woot.
