Mastermind of Sen. Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Assasination

      We all know Sen. Benigno S. Aquino Jr. is the number one critic of the Marcos administration and after "Ninoy" was assasinated in 1983 the blame as the mastermind for the slaying is not less than the dictatorial President himself who knows no one under his dictatorial government and lots of abuses and murder has been done under his government. What we don't know is that another sinister is on the run right now in the Philippine soil. He is a slippery Jack the Ripper or he resembles The Joker in Batman.
      A detained, former military escort of Sen. Ninoy Aquino Jr. who escorted Ninoy back to Manila from US confessed that the mastermind in assassinating Ninoy was actually a close actually very close relative of his other half, Corazon C. Aquino. According to this witness, "the man is still walking free in the Philippine soil, wealthy and influential and has big corporations and companies he owns". We already know who he was but definitely according to him was not a Marcos loyal as we previously known.

Halloween: Horror and Haunting Experience

It is one of goth's favorite time to live in gloomy world of death, ghosts and haunting. Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a secular celebration but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones. The day is often associated with the colors black and orange, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.Halloween has origins in the ancient festival known as Samhain (pronounced sow-in or sau-an), which is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end". This was a Gaelic festival celebrated mainly in Ireland and Scotland. However, similar festivals were held by other Celts – for example the festival of Calan Gaeaf (pronounced kalan-geyf) which was held by the ancient Britons.
Snap-Apple Night by Daniel Maclise showing a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland, in 1832. The young children on the right bob for apples. A couple in the center play a variant, which involves retrieving an apple hanging from a string. The couples at left play divination games. The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half", and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year".

The celebration has some elements of a festival of the dead. The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces.[8][9] Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.[10] Sometimes two bonfires would be built side-by-side, and people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual.Another common practise was divination, which often involved the use of food and drink.

The term Halloween, originally spelled Hallowe’en, is shortened from All Hallows' Even – e'en is a shortening of even, which is a shortening of evening. This is ultimately derived from the Old English Eallra Hālgena ǣfen. Halloween is linked as well to the day of the souls every 2nd of November where associations to ghost and mythical creatures derived from. Halloween is being celebrated by people to scare and amuse children about mythical creatures and dead people rising from the tomb and zombies usually taken from the rich folk literature. People dressed in different horrifying costumes usually realistic props that can frighten and raise your hair. People also believe that during these days, souls of the dead in the underworld return to Earth to visit their loved ones and reside in their former homes. The significance of the All Soul's Day is for us to remember our departed loved ones in our hearts and minds they shall be immortal, pray for their soul to have eternal peace and communion with God and also during the All Saint's Day to remember the significant holistic works they've done and ask for their intercession for us.

South Africa is nearing its course to give a very successful and colorful celebration of teamwork and sportmanship when the FIFA World Cup 2010 commence on June - July 2010, according to SA Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan. According to him South Africa would host a "great festival of football".

"Yes we can. Next year, as we invite the world to join us in a great festival of football, we will demonstrate that we can take on a giant project, work to a plan, complete major construction projects, reconfigure city transport systems, and energise a uniquely South African diversity of hospitality arrangements," he said.

Gordhan said South Africa had silenced skeptics. "Of course there were skeptics - there were those who said we couldn't do it, who talked about the lights going out, who spread dark rumours of plan B - but those voices are now silent.

"Our preparation for the 2010 World Cup began with a vision, and a statement of intent," he said.

All government agencies and departments are collaborating and coordinating to give a memorable and momentous FIFA World Cup in South Africa comes 2010.

Website Review: Downelink

Downelink
this is an online social networking site for the LGBT community and even straights, too! Like any other networking sites, people can look, browse and find friends here. With the use of the site's search filter you can narrow down your searches based on your preferences. There are a lots of types of people here for the rainbow family, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders or even straights but you can digg up and investigate their stories or unravel their dark backgrounds, hehehe... there is also a community where members can discuss any topics that they want to talk about and even a chat room where one can see a prospect hmm or shall i say a potential date on a cosy restaurant or even in the dark shadowy room. Its a friendly site and LGBT answer to Facebook. I gave the site 3 and a half star. *** ^

Website Review: Neopets

Neopets


This classic online pet games (it originates from its predecessor, Japan's Tamaguchi) is a hit for kids ages 6-11 and even young at heart or people of all ages sick of role playing games can divert their attention to these virtual pets who were desperately seeking attention from loving and caring owners. They can be feed, taught, put to sleep, and even bring to discover and travel places and even fight with other pets for top prizes in battle dome. However, to earn neopoints or neocash to purchase items for and and by your pets, you need to play games and discover places because there are hidden treasure behind. Worth your time and effort if you are to train to own a real pet in the future. I give three stars. ***

Have you tried media converter? I'm not entirely sure what the site is, but maybe mediaconverter.com... you'd have to confirm that. I use it fairly often- I have it bookmarked which is why don't know the address- and it's been fairly reliable. You don't have to create an account, which I really like, and you don't have to download any software, which is also great. The only bad thing about it is that it has a fairly restricted maximum size you can convert without paying, so depending on what you're converting to, it might not always work. It's always worked for me for online video to mp3.

Hope that helps you :D

How does single parents raise their children?

I wonder if single parents can still pamper themselves, enjoy the things they want to do, do their favorite hobbies/ activities, travel around the world and other things even if they have kids to raise.


One single parent with one child, that’s a family. In society, just about everything is blamed on single parents and broken homes, and it’s really sad because it’s just not true. The most important thing is not the number of parents in the home, but the parenting. We always ask people, ‘Don’t you know single parents who have raised great kids?’ So instead of thinking, “We are a broken home,” say, “We are a single-parent home”— it’s just a different kind of family. I think a lot of being a successful single parent lies in your perception. By that, I mean single parents often think it’s more difficult for them. It’s so easy to think the grass is greener on the other side, and yet when you have a two-parent family, your spouse might not be that supportive: There’s usually one parent that prefers to be more strict and one that’s more lenient, and then they fight about who is right. A big part of changing your perceptions about single parenthood is if you see your situation differently. Try to see your family’s situation as an opportunity rather than a negative. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there aren’t any difficulties in being a single mom or dad, but there are advantages to keep in mind as well.


I think you can still enjoy yourself as a single parent, but no parent can travel around the world, with my first daughter i was a single mum for the first 5 years, and my mum would look after her about twice a month and i would go out with the girls let my hair down, but theres still that responsibility that i know i can't get completly drunk as i'll have to wake up at 6am the next morning. With a hubby its alot easier he'll take the girls away to the park on a saturday morning and i can have the morning to myself to get away from things, do a bit of shopping and things.


Personally, I wouldn't wish is upon my worst enemy. Even with a husband at home it can be hard, especially those long lonely nights up with breast or bottle feeding and a sick or grumpy child. The financial side if you were a single parent I imagine would be a huge challenge.
I have a couple of friends doing it alone, and they don't really get much time for themselves - they do find time, but it is not easy - having support from other family members would be crucial or a huge help in that situation.
It depends on the person, I guess some single parents handle it all really well, and others just fall apart.
If it is a situation where you need to get away from a bad relationship with the father, then I would leave and bring the child up on your own.

But if you just want a child for the sake of having a child - then I would not recommend it at all.


One of my friends is a single mum. She lives at home with her parents and while it's not at all easy, she works at her job and school and does what she can for her daughter. The father does help out a lot though. From what I hear, he's a great father, but he and my friend just didn't work out.

Babysitters, daycare, family... they help out. And they can still do things, but they are limited. Any couple with child(ren) are limited. I don't even know a married couple with small children that travel the world or anything like that.

Children are a blessing, but a major responsibility. You've got to sacrifice the life you could have had, in order to truly enjoy the life you are blessed to live with your child.


single parents do everything in the same way conventional parents do yes they still get to pamper themselves sometimes its nice to include the kids in it too tonight me and my 13 year old daughter are having a pamper night baths nails pizza a movie lots of unhealthy food and a night of loving ourselves we also go to the hairdressers together and my 8 year old and we enjoy each others company we travel we recently went to paris you cant be selfish travelling alone but then i find even 2 parent families don't travel alone i love being a single parent


I am 23 have a 2 1/2 year old & have another on the way, I am single. I work 8 am to 5 pm 5-6 days a week. My hair, finger & toe nails are always done. I go to the gym 2-3 time a week. Go on vacations. I pamper my daughter as well. My daughter is happy. I am happy. yes single parents can pamper themselves. they just need to learn how to do it with a baby on your arm


No one with kids travels around the world, unless they have great kids and extreme patience and tolerance. And of course a single parent can still pamper themselves and enjoy the things they want to and do their favorite activities. Its called daycare. Or a babysitter.


I don't know about travel because of financial reasons but the rest yeah. Eventually. But the hardest job is raising the kids as the role of both mom and dad.

Weird Goods and Services Sold At eBay

For a my few months stay and work as a customer service representative for eBay USA never would I imagine that I could encounter such goods and services being sold by Americans online that they were so gross, weird and horrible and I could think it is out of desperation? Gosh... are they really starving and begging for a penny that otherwise we think, powerful and rich? I encountered some of the following items as I work as community watchdog for violators and those law abiding eBayers:



Paris Hilton tears - at the time Paris was controversial for DUI. Driving under the Influence and was brought for trial. The most controversial thing is when she cried at the court room. I cant imagine someone is catching tear drops of this woman with a bottle in the court room.. plain hilarity over the unfated life's twist and turn of this heiress.


soul - i encounter a few people selling their soul when they die. Common sense, how can you earn money when you die and how can you feel your earning when you're already a ghost?



stinky socks - someone sold a stinky socks that even a rat could not even bear to stay close to. His purpose is that the sock is a repellant for all insects and disturbing rodents and unwelcome guests or visitors towards your house.. How desperate and how insane?

What is the best solution for paranoia?

It seems that there are several paranoid people here in the Philippines due to desperate situation and conditions of people and lots of poor has been taken advantage and exploited by the wealthy and they act as if they are paranoid as well to protect their wealth and taken advantage of these poor and usually illiterate people.


For paranoia it is actually a difficult thing to deal with in my opinion. My fiance has paranoia and schizophrenia but that is a different story.

I have found the best way to help someone with paranoia is to keep reassuring that person your not going to do them harm. Though they are not going to warm up to you right away, show them in your own way that your not going to hurt them, take advantage of them, or put them in harms way.

Reassurance is the best way to help someone who acts paranoid.


that doesnt sound paranoid.. it sounds realistic...
There are things that a government must do to free its people , along with the right attitude and responsiblities to make people feel safe, free, and moving forward, etc....
Here is a resource for the feelings

Does blogger allows publishing of ads from third party ad publisher other than AdSense?

YES -- all you have to do is to insert the code in a different spot from your Adsense ads. Or you can use an ad server and serve Adsense + other ads

As long as the ads you choose to run alongside Adsense do not mimic the look and feel of Adsense. Commission Junction http://www.cj.com and Linkshare http://www.linkshare.com both have lot of advertisers that you can run with Adsense

Read Adsense Program Policies https://www.google.com/adsense/support/b…

Competitive Ads and Services
In order to prevent user confusion, publishers may not display Google ads or search boxes on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colours as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure that these ads cannot be confused with Google ads.



No.

Only Google's AdSense program is integrated into your Blogger account. Blogger will also need access to your Adsense account so that they can add the appropriate code to your blooger account and templates and template tools.

You do get to keep 100% of any income made from your Adsense account with your Blogger blog.



of course yes, you need to add code to the blogger,

very easy , you will get the option to add code from where you will get the option to add adsense.

( tried all of them , only adsense makes money or to some extent adbrite, rest all proved to be cheap scams so far.
