My Dream Tour of Italy

Who would ever think that I'm the kind of person who's dream is to tour the whole world! One place that I would surely go to is Italy! Italy is such a beautiful place with a rich culture and even more colorful history.

I would like to go there immediately right now and check in at a Hotel Venice and start my tour of the beautiful city. I'll make sure that I won't miss taking a boat ride through the Grand Canal.

After Venice I could then get a reservation at a Hotel Florence and enjoy the view and life there for a while and visit the museums, public gardens, and churches.

After Florence, where else would I go but Rome! While in Rome, I wonder if I'll just stay for good and rent a Rome Apartment as I'm sure that I'll instantly fall in love with the people and culture of Italy.

Woah! What a dream vacation that would be! But for people who are planning to go to Italy, why don't you visit freereservation.com and fulfill my dream vacation for me! Be sure to reserve your rooms now as finding any vacancy would be really difficult because of the great number of tourists.

Hmm, Italy wait for me!

Breakfast in Bed in Paris

I was watching the Amazing Race a while ago and the last three competitors of the race were in Paris, France. I haven't been to Paris before (or Europe for that matter) but seeing Paris on TV was an amazing experience. Wonder how I would feel if I'd actually see the real Paris with both of my eyes. The buildings are incredibly beautiful and the atmosphere is very special indeed.

I plan to go visit Paris someday and the first thing that comes into my mind is where in the world would I stay in? Well I'm sure that that wouldn't be a big problem as Paris is a huge tourist attraction and therefore Paris hotels are quite abundant. In fact I've searched on the internet for hotels in Paris typing in "hotel Paris" and I sure did find a lot of hotel lists.

But I want to make my Paris experience more memorable and meaningful so I don't want to stay in those fancy hotels and just be one with the many tourist. I want to experience Paris by living like a Parisian. So I'd rather stay in a family-run Paris bed and breakfast. Not only will I get to be in the care of hospitable Paris hosts, I can get personal first hand tips for all the must-see places from people who actually have lived and experienced the wonder of Paris themselves! So I'll have a comfortable bed and an authentic French breakfast, how cool would that be!

So if you're interested in going to Paris and experience how life is in Paris check out Bedandbreakfastparis.biz and reserve your hotel now without any booking fees.

On Destroying Homes

I watched a Korean movie this noon entitled "Miracle on 1st Street" and I found the story heart warming. Miracle on 1st Street is a drama comedy about gangsters who trying to scare people to move out from their property so the can clear out the area to make way for corporate construction. Pil Je (Lim Chang Jung) is a gangster who tries to scare people in the neighborhood. But Myeong Ran (Ha Ji Won) isn’t scared with Pil Je. She fights back and gives Pil Je something to think about. But as he gets to know her and the locals more, Pil Je senses himself changing, changing enough for a miracle to happen? It is sweet how Pil Je stood up for the poor people and helped in defending the street kids and the people of the slum area from those who oppressed them. But sadly he was just one man so he couldn't save the whole town.

Watching this movie had made me realize how lucky I truly am for being financially stable. It's sad that there are so many people out there who are less fortunate and had to live in the slums. But living in the slums is not really that bad, what's worst is when they are forced out by rich people so that they could transform the land owned by the poor people to a financially viable and lucrative commercial land.

I know that it's just a movie that I know that there are some truth in how the rich would not hesitate to resort to violence just to claim the land that these poor people legally owned. The movie showed some violent scenes when they forced the poor out of their homes and the rich didn't even give them anything in return for the land (a sort of subsidy). But what really is a tear jerker is when the mothers and children cried as they were helpless to defend themselves as the thugs of the rich destroyed their homes and physically abused the poor.

LA Police Gear

A while ago Juliana was blogging about the blogging police and I suddenly thought how I would look like if I were wearing that full police gear. Woah I bet that I would really look cool if I were one of those dashing uniforms.

One police gear that I find very awesome is the BDU Pants! They look so comfy and very durable too! It's a must for police officers and other military personal that needs durable and comfortable BDU pants while they hunt down all those bad guys!

The website that I found, lapolicegear.com not only has a vast collection of different colors of BDU pants, they also sell other police gears like boots, vests, eye wear, flashlights, and any other equipment police officers would need.

If you're interested in police gears you might want to check lapolicegear.com.

Finding the Right Home

You know what? I'm still getting the goosebumps and a bit frustrated with this moving thing. I know that I shouldn't be the one worrying about selling our old home and buying/renting a new home. It's quite frustrating because putting up old houses for sale signs won't simply work and driving all around the city looking for "for sale" signs is equally as frustrating!

Thank God for the internet, looking and selling your house is made very simple! If you want to sell your house then posting private property online is the way to do it. You get to reach many prospective buyers and tenants. And if you're a tenant you don't have to drive around the city and personally ask landlords or real estate people for your inquiries. That would be time consuming and very tiring. Looking for possible homes on the internet is more comfortable and you get the ease of selecting properties from hundreds of houses that match your style, budget, and preferred location.

I just wish that I found a real estate company like PropertyHome.co.za sooner because they not only have a wide listing of available properties they also aids you in home valuation, home loans, and finding an agent. If you're interested in houses for sale high desert located in South Africa then this company is for you. Why don't you visit their site for more information.

Ever Heard of the Orange Thumb in Gardening?

Before you give me the weird look for saying orange thumb instead of green thumb, let me tell you what this Project Orange Thumb is. Project Orange Thumb is a grant program by Fiscars that aims to promote community involvement, neighborhood beautification, creativity and horticulture education by providing communities and garden groups with garden tools and supplies.

With all those accessories and tools provided by Fiskars then it wouldn't be a wonder how easy it would be for the community to let their imaginations run wild and create beautiful gardens (may it be a flower garden or a vegetable garden).

If only our community became a grant recipient then a lot of people from the community would benefit from the Project Orange Thumb. I have noticed that from the 13 Gardens that would be the lucky recipients of the 2008 Project Orange Thumb are mostly schools (elementary, high school, and college). What a better way to let students learn about science and a way to encourage them to eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables.

In my own experience as a student volunteer in our community, our community garden has helped unified our community by making our neighbors realize how important it is to take care of our environment. Gardening has brought people together and it had even helped beautify our neighborhood because the people in our community has a sense of ownership and cases of littering has decreased.

Fiskar's Project Orange Thumb is a very unique program that not only helped the community be unified but it has helped empower low-income neighborhoods to provide themselves with nutritious food. Project Orange Thumb sure is humanitarian and it had really brought out the student's creativity as the grant recipients each had a unique garden and I'm sure that with Project Orange Thumb their goals will be accomplished.

I'm Loving Entrecard

I just love Entrecard! What is Entrecard? Well it's just one of the best ways to get connected with other bloggers and increase your page traffic tremendously! Entrecard works like leaving a business card into a blog/site that has an Entrecard widget and the blog/site owner then visits your blog and drop his/her Entrecard. It's like switching Entrecards (business cards if you want to put it that way).

Plus you have a great incentive when you drop Entrecards! Every time you drop your card or someone drops a card in your site you earn Entrecard credits. These credits can then be used to advertise on other blogs. See my Entrecard at the upper right corner of my blog. Notice the ad? The site owner paid me Entrecard credits to advertise in my blog. So I then use these credits to advertise on other blogs and this increases the chance that other bloggers can hop their way to my blog. Isn't that amazing?

I have spent several precious hours joining in blog directories but it is only Entrecard that had helped me increase my site traffic exponentially! So I invite everyone to join in and don't forget to leave your card on my site! ^_^

My Bro's Blog: The Fil-Can Boy

Boy I really slept late last night. I think it was around 1 am. And it's not because of late night partying and not even because of my blogging! Well it's somehow because of blogging but it's not my blog that I worked hard on, but my brother's blog! Well I have really no complains because like any good elder brother would do, I forced my younger brother to blog. Well there are many reasons why I encouraged him to blog. And these reasons are:

• To aid him in improving his writing skills (to make him comfortable with the English language)
• To make him stay put at home so he won't go out of the house that much (that is when he gets addicted to blogging)
• To give his friends here in the Philippines updates onhis new life in Canada
  
• To give him the opportunity to earn money while blogging (and I get 10% of his earnings hahaha!)

Hahaha! What devious reasons to make him blog hehehe. Well I think I did a pretty well job designing his blogspot but I made myself promise that I won't anymore help him in his posts and linking with people and stuff. That's his responsibility now as it is his blog. It's very difficult having two blogs right now, My Nurses Notes & Grim Angel, and I'm not going to kill myself by managing a third blog, my brother's blog: The Fil-Can Boy.

You might wonder why my brother's blog is entitled The Fil-Can Boy. Well I'm actually responsible for his blog title since my brother has simply no interest in blogging. It's entitled The Fil-Can Boy because a couple of years from now he's going to be a Filipino-Canadian and blogging may sure be a good way to divert his fears and frustrations of being an immigrant into his new home: Canada.

Oh yeah please do visit his blog guys and Please be nice to him. Please ask him too to exchange links with you. Hehehe. :)

I'm Definitely a David Archuleta Fan!

I was going to sleep early tonight but decided to watch TV and American Idol was on. It so happened that it was David Archuleta's turn to perform. I wasn't a fan of David nor do I watch American Idol but when I saw David perform tonight I was totally blown away. I immediately became an Archuleta fan and for very good reasons too!

It has been said that David is the predicted grand winner for this season of American Idol and I couldn't agree more. Like Simon Cowell I also have a nose for star power and oh boy David is one shining star! He does not only have an incredible sweet voice, he also has good looks to come with his adorable smile and personality... and this is being objective of of course. Hey! Even Simon agrees with me that David is great.

Although David had some bad performances (I saw these on Youtube) where he forgot the lyrics I would say, "So what?" I didn't actually notice that he skipped some lines because I was just concentrating on his great over all performance. The studio audience enjoyed it like I did too, I could say this because David (like always) gets the loudest applause. This isn't a wonder because David sure does have a huge fan base because as I said for a 17 year old, he is quite impressive. This is one of the reasons that I can say that he will be the American Idol.

I guess other Filipinos would agree with me as they are already hoping that David would be part Filipino so that they could also vote for him asides from Ramiele Malubay. I'm Filipino but I have to stick with one idol and that is David Archulete even if he isn't Filipino.

And to prove why I think David is just booming with talent here is his video when he was younger playing on the piano and singing Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles. And I rate his performance here a 9/10!



And why is he adorable as people say? Just watch this fan video and you'll understand why:



So ladies and gentlemen, David Archulete, the future American Idol! The young singer with a great voice, adorable looks, and a great personality. What a great package for a future and rising star!

Oh yeah here's more of David:

I ♥ Crunchyroll

I am a known Anime fanatic and I love anime and I am addicted to it. Anime inspires me to dream and to believe that there is something more and greater to this life. Some anime that I have watched and enjoyed are Elfen Lied, Flame of Recca, Erementar Gerad, Vision of Escaflowne, Hunter X Hunter, San Goku, Naruto, xxxHolic, Card Captor Sakura, DNAngel, Detective Conan, and a lot more (I may have even forgotten some titles, damn I have a bad memory). But one thing is for sure, it is very difficult to find these anime titles online. Youtube sucks because they remove it while other online video streaming communities don't have the complete series. So where do I find good quality anime? Simple! Crunchyroll!

Crunchyroll which is sometimes called as the Asian Youtube is a fast growing online community for anime lovers. It was started by the mysterious "Shinji" who started Crunchyroll just for fun.
Crunchyroll has a vast collection of anime (as well as other Asian dramas and movies) for FREE! You just pay if you want to watch a high quality and high definition streaming. And the payment is used to keep the servers running and to give more bandwidth as hosting a site is not free after all.

Like Youtube, Crunchyroll also faced some copyright problems as some of their anime was licensed. But this was already addressed by Crunchyroll so don't expect to find any licensed material (you may still find some videos if you're lucky that are uploaded by some members) and hentai (Anime porn, hehehe). Wait, is hentai even licensed?

But they still have a lot of unlicensed anime that are worth the watch, like Naruto for example.

Instant Make-Over!

I learned about this website from PixelRN and I was a bit curious and wanted to try it out to see if Taaz.com really is what it advertises: creating a new look. Well the site is actually intended for the female audience but I still wanted to try it anyway. Good thing that the site offered some short hair that are also good for guys. Of course I was curious enough to try the long female hairs but it did not turn out good. hehehe!

BEFORE & AFTER

So what do you think? From the haggard looking person to the stylish F4 Wanna Be look hahaha! Taaz.com is actually very fun to play with but is more practical for female users of course. The site offers you to create a new look using real to life products. It's like testing beauty products in the convenience of your own home/office/library or where ever you are as long as you're connected to the internet.

I don't use make-up or plan to use make-up but the products used on the site are very nice! I especially liked the contacts. The site is also very user friendly. It beats using photoshop which is a nightmare for newbies like me.

Heard any Good Oyster Jokes Lately?

I have been chatting with an old friend of mine when we suddenly got bored and our boredom lead us to this corny oyster joke that we came up with:

A gulf oyster came rushing in the emergency room of the hospital and wasn't looking too good. An oyster specialist then rushed to the very pale oyster and then told the sick oyster, "Oh my God! You have real clammy skin!"

Hahaha! Did you get the joke? Clammy skin? You see what the oyster specialist meant is that the oyster had a cool, moist, and pale skin (which meant that the oyster is about to go into shock) but then it's ironic that the specialist would say that when the oyster was a bivalved mollusk too! It's a bit corny, I know, but eating gulf oysters without sufficient knowledge of it's dangers is no joke! Eating oysters without proper knowledge can be dangerous.

We all love to eat gulf oysters, like who doesn't? But if you're an at-risk consumer (if you have cancer, liver disease, stomach disorders, etc) of oysters then you could suffer gastroenteritis and primary septicemia which is very uncomfortable mind you and is of no laughing matter.

I know that all of these may sound difficult to digest (excuse me for the pun) but it is better to be a well informed consumer than a uninformed suffering one.

Want to learn more about oysters and the many ways to enjoy them? Just visit the Be Oyster Aware website for more interesting oyster facts and recipes! Prevent the suffering and learn how to enjoy oysters more!

There's More to an Oyster Than You Think

What if gulf oysters produce not only pearls? What if they produce other kinds of precious jewels like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and etc! What if oysters are the solution to our current problems like pollution, fast depleting energy resources, and a cure for HIV/AIDS?!

What if oysters provide new life for all living creatures? Well, I might be exaggerating a bit already but it is true that gulf oysters can sustain life, especially our lives, by giving us nourishment that is!

You just have to love oysters!There are several ways to cook oysters and so many ways to enjoy them! But did you know that eating oysters can also be risky? Eating raw or under-cooked oysters can cause serious illness or even death from Vibrio vulnificus bacteria. Scary huh? But does this mean that we have to stop eating freshgulf oysters? You've got to be kidding right? That is definitely not an option!

So if you love eating oysters and can't get enough, please visit the Be Oyster Aware website so that you can learn more about your beloved oysters and how to eat oysters safely! Happy eating guys!
