A Weekend Getaway at Siquijor...

          I just want to share my experience going to Siquijor.  It was a short vacation though but it was a blast! 'twas a very long trip I must say but all is worth it! We rode a bus at South Bus Terminal around 1pm, arrived at Santander almost 5.30pm. Had to run inorder to catch up the boat going to Dumaguete. When we get to Dumaguete, We had to tell the tricycle driver to drive fast inorder to catch up for the boat going to Siquijor. It was like we were always chasing for the ride. Very exhausting trip but awesome experience. Then finally we arrived at Lazi, Siquijor around 9pm, we had our dinner then we had to travel to Maria (another town in Siquijor) and we stayed at Salagdoong Beach Resort. We get to visit all 6 towns in Siquijor and had seen almost all their tourist spot. My favorite was going to Cambugahay falls. They've got beautiful white sand beaches down there. I would recommend going to Siquijor to people who would want to relax and unwind.

          I'm gonna post some of our pics...

Virus Alert 'Invitation'

I got this message today from my Mafia admin at Facebook. And I thought I should share this to all you guys out there. Regardless if this is true or not, extra precaution should be done rather than get your PC crash and be sorry..

You should be alert during the next days:

Do not open any message with an attached file called
'Invitation' regardless of who sent it, It is a virus
that opens an Olympic Torch which 'burns' the whole
hard disc C of your computer.

This virus will be received from someone who has your
e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why
you should send this e-mail to all your contacts. It
is better to receive this message 25 times than to
receive the virus and open it.

If you receive a mail called 'invitation' , though
sent by a friend , do not open it and shut down your
computer immediately. This is the worst virus
announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft
as the most destructive virus ever.

This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and
there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This
virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard
Disc, where the vital information is kept

Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao is No. 1!


The "Pambansang Kamao" just proved it to the whole world that he is the no. 1 pound for pound king! He won the match TKO just in 2 rounds! Even from the start of the round, Ricky "HITMAN" Hatton already kissed the canvass many times. I admire the humility Manny has shown to the world, he doesn't talk shit and stuff, he just do what he loves to do and that is beating and kicking his opponent's arses! Credit goes to Hatton as well for being a sport, knowing he is the underdog still he gave his best shot. Who's your daddy now Floyd Mayweather, Sr.?!? If you can't beat Manny Pacquiao, you better keep your mouth shut! And that goes out to all who's going to challenge our boy, talk is cheap! Let your fists do the talking!

SQIP.. has launched finally!


Yes Finally the great Launch happened but we just had a DNS Server Migration so if anyone is still looking at a funny looking site with all these weird Admin things on them Please do NOT PANIC. The migration has taken place but some of us cannot access the Sqip Mega Portal until it has taken time to go around the World. Anyway in the mean time we can all relax for a few hours and think about all the good things Sqip (Sqipcom) will bring to everyone.

Sqip will have mass appeal and will be great for Businesses as well as individuals as it will offer a marketplace for Businesses to sell products and services by way of advertising or using direct access methods to Markets through the Sqip Bids and Biz Space parts of the Portal.

Individuals can benefit greatly too by linking up with friends and Networkers and also make a difference in their communities and Environment through the various Portal links like Be The Change and Community gateways available through Sqip.

Sqip isn’t only about Free PEPS but also it is about revolutionizing the way we do business and it will integrate a Social Conscience structure within the Global Economy fueling thus a new Era of Green Business and Eco Friendly ways of earning an honest crust as well as giving back to the Community.

The SQIP GREEN LOTTO should be a fantastic way of generating both revenue for Stakeholders as well as helping us clean up our act and becoming greener in our consumer attitudes which is one Primary income stream I am looking forward to.

Hatton vs Pacquiao "EAST meets WEST"

Given the one-sided beating Manny Pacquiao administered to Oscar De La Hoya in December, many boxing 'experts' predict Pac Man will simply steamroll Ricky Hatton in this Saturday's pay-per-view megabout in Las Vegas. Not so fast. While Pacquiao fully deserves to be favored by oddsmakers (-250/+200), there's no reason to believe that this will be anything other than a competitive - and highly entertaining - bout.

Hatton is a strong, natural light welterweight who - at 30 and under the tutelage of Floyd Mayweather Sr. - is in his athletic prime. The Hitman has only lost once and that was by tenth round TKO to pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2007. He has since bounced back with solid wins over Juan Lazcano and Pauli Malignaggi.

Pacquiao - also 30 - began his professional career at 106 pounds (he was just one month past his 16th birthday at the time!) but has grown into a full-fledged junior welterweight. It's debatable whether or not De La Hoya was washed-up when he quit after absorbing eight rounds of punishment from Pacquiao. What is not debatable, however, is that Pacquiao looked awesome.

Prediction: Hatton is strong and fast and has his moments but Pacquaio is just a little stronger and a little faster. Pacquiao by decision or possibly a late TKO


I wish both fighters best of luck. I bet everybody especially boxing fans will enjoy this great fight. They're both eager to win, at the end of the final round only one man will be declared the winner pound for pound king that is. In my opinion, although Ricky Hatton is much bigger than Manny Pacquiao, still he is the Under dog in this fight. A lot of people bets for the Pacman. Well the answer is just few hours away.. Goodluck!

FAQ: Swine flu symptoms, prevention, treatment

What you need to know about the Swine Flu or the Human Swine Influenza A (H1N1) virus that has hit Mexico, the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world.

What is Swine Flu?

Swine Influenza or swine flu is a type of respiratory disease in pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The disease is normally not passed on to people but human infections can and do happen. A few cases of swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person to person but in the past, transmission was only limited and not sustained beyond three people.


What are the Signs and Symptoms of swine flu in humans?

The symptoms are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever (temperature above 38 degrees Celsius or 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit), cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, aching joints, nasal congestion and fatigue. Some people with swine flu also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.

How does swine flu spread?

The swine flu virus can be directly transmitted from pigs to people and from people to pigs. Human infection are most likely to occur when people are in close proximity to infected pigs such as in pig barns (babuyan). Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur in the same way as seasonal flu, which is mainly through uncovered coughs and sneezes or by touching your mouth or nose with unwashed hands.

How can a person get infected by the swine flu virus?

A person can get infected if he/she touches something contaminated with the virus and then touches the eyes, mouth or nose. The virus can live on surfaces for several hours, like a doorknob just touched by someone who sneezed into his hand. Germs also spread in the air through droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person.

Can people catch swine flu by eating pigs or pork?

According to scientists and doctors, the swine influenza virus is NOT transmitted by food. Eating properly handled and well-cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork at a temperature of 160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.

How to protect or prevent oneself from getting infected?

There is currently no vaccine available yet to protect against swine flu. For now, these steps can help protect your health:

  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth because germs spread this way.
  • Stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
  • Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
  • If you get sick with influenza, stay home and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.


What should be done if a person is showing swine flu symptoms?

Stay home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible to keep from spreading your illness to others.  If you become ill and experience any of the following warning signs, seek medical care as soon as possible.

In children emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

  • Fast breathing or trouble breathing
  • Bluish skin color
  • Not drinking enough fluids
  • Not waking up or not interacting
  • Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
  • Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
  • Fever with a rash

In adults, emergency warning signs include:

  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
  • Sudden dizziness
  • Confusion
  • Severe or persistent vomiting

$1 = 52 pesos

How true are these news guys??? Could anyone illuminate me on these??? Thanks. Robert Samson

THIS IS VERY HUMILIATING STORY....... ....... I DONT KNOW HOW TO BELIEVE BUT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY.
To All Filipino Overseas Workers (OFWs):


The Financial Analyst of World Bank would like to inform
each and every one of you that the present currency exchange rate of US Dollar to Peso is actually $1 = 52 pesos. Your government is manipulating the exchange rate for some years now. It is very much improbable and impossible that the Philippine Peso is appreciating compare to Euro, British Pound, Rials, and any other foreign currency. Even your ASEAN neighboring countries are suffering from the Global Crisis. Singapore, a developed country is affected by depreciation of their currency what more of your country? We admire you for your hard work but we also pity you for having such a very corrupt government that is taking advantage of your hard earned money. The ARROYO ADMINISTRATION is blatantly milking each and every OFWs all over the world of billions of pesos for its own greedy, selfish ends. Investigations reveal that this milked money from OFWs will be spent to BRIBE not only PGMA's pet COCODILES in CONGRESS but some in the SENATE as well for her to PERPETUATE IN POWER BEYOND 2010. The rest would be deposited to the family's SECRET ACCOUNT in Switzerland.

Another money-making scheme is the LOTTERY DRAWS. Filipinos should be aware that all LOTTO DRAWS are orchestrated, and big money goes to the two sons of the lady president. Recentexample is the SUPER LOTTO 6/49 draw, where supposedly two individuals from Luzon won. Do you know WHO these individuals are? It's Mikey and Datu, who else? One might ask how the draw could be rigged when it is being televised in front of millions of viewers. The answer is simple. Asyou all know, all bet combinations are being entered into PCSO's main data base as it is on-line, therefore, it is easy to determine which combinations were NOT betted upon.
If they want to raise big money, no winners will be declared
until the JACKPOT reaches sky-high because they could dictate the outcome at will. When it's "HARVEST
TIME", viola, there would be "winner or
winners" and the process repeats all over again. One might ask how this is being done. One insider told our investigators that actually the "DRAWN BALLS", six balls to be exact, are the only set which could fit into the transparent tube which sucks the balls up. All others are slightly bigger than the diameter of the tube which could not be distinguished by the viewers, therefore, there's no way they could be drawn!

You Filipinos are being skinned alive, fried in your own fat and lard by your own government. Do you ever wonder why president-elect BARACK OBAMA, avoids your president like a stinking leper?

-World Bank

Pass this to your friends so that GMA will not be elected in 2010.


Got this one in my email just today, my friend forwarded it to me. I couldn't believe it. Well, at first I thought it's just sort of "panira" to our dear Madam President. I once read over at twitter bout this one regarding the lotto winner but refused to believe it. Oh well, everyone's entitled to their opinions. Unless proven guilty or could provide sufficient evidence, otherwise a person is innocent. Let's not people just look at the bad side or disadvantages a person has made, try to consider the things the President has done for us also...

peace..
