The World Wide Web Addict

I believed some of you are members of friendster, a social network online. It has been a long time, I guess almost a half year now, since the last time I logged-in in this network. I had the chance to check it yesterday. I want to check some personal photos in my albums but to my dismay everything were gone.

What happened to friendster and where did all my photo albums go? I also found out that it is a gaming network now. Most of my friends’ personal profile pictures were also gone and were replaced with animes. I guess most of the members of friendster are in facebook now…not really a good idea losing all those photos of mine in friendster. I guess I will be deleting my friendster account soon. What do you think folks?

It needs to be replaced soon. Our kitchen floor especially in the cooking area is getting slowly damaged. It is due to our defect faucet. We did not noticed immediately that our faucet continues to drop water until one morning the kitchen floor got so wet. It is made of wood and get slowly damaged. Our kitchen and dining needs a total make-over. I wish to have some acura tl custom floor mats on the floor when it will be repaired. For now, we are just doing some improvisation. I wipe it from time to time. We are currently looking for our portable dryer to dry everything in our wet kitchen floor.

We just had a lot of home improvements this year and want to do next our kitchen as soon as we can and when finances are available. At least, we have a house that we can call our home.

This is surely a scam/spam mail again. Press spam immediately when you received this kind of mail. I just received one today and immediately put it to my Spam folder. Never entertain this kind of scam in the internet.

Below is the body of the mail and its full header.

I just remember that today is the first day of September. Oh yes, the BER months are slowly coming. I just want to say goodbye great month of August and hoping again for another wonderful month of September. I just remember that next month will also be our 8th wedding anniversary. I can’t believed that time truly flies-by so fast. This time I am already thinking of a special present to hubby for our anniversary. I am thinking of something simple but memorable. These might also be the gifts that your husband will definitely eat. Hubby was telling me last night that chocolates especially the black ones are good for the heart and body. I agree with him but also reminded him that too much eating of chocolates is not good and can cause diabetics. That is also the reason why I am only letting him eat moderately. For now, this special present is a secret.

Wishing everyone a wonderful September!

Oh Yes, Mozilla Firefox has again another version of its browser. I just updated its latest version which is Firefox 6.0 last Monday. Yesterday, there was a message that popped-up on my screen that says, ther is again another 6.01 version. When I opened my computer this morning, I opted to install again this latest version. This version seems to have improving speed, stability and security.

I am a happy user of Mozilla Firefox. Thanks to its developers for sharing this faster and more convenient browser.

The harvest month is almost ending. I am very thankful that the month of August is a great month for me. I had a wonderful birthday celebration last time. I had some travels in some places in Europe again. My Mother went well after being hospitalized. I always had great time with friends. Time flies so fast now and I am very thankful that August was again another wonderful and memorable time for me.

The BER months are about to come. Festivals such as Halloween, Oktoberfest and most of all the Christmas season is about to come also. Talking especially about Halloween, I need to find the halloween décor in our attic or else I need to shop for it again. I am quite sure that we will be having again another enjoyable halloween celebration with friends.

I am just hoping and praying that the next months will be fine and great as usual. More on that, I wish everyone in advance a lovely and superb month of September. Cheers!

What is a favicon? I believed most bloggers have an idea of what a favicon is. It is usually a shortcut icon, a website icon or a URL icon. In blogger platform for example, you can now download a favicon for your blog(s). I already tried it in some of my blogs and it is working. The problem is, it is not automatically updated. Last week, as far as I can remember on Thursday, I uploaded a favicon for my Travel and Discover USA blog, the favicon still did not work until this morning. As I checked it again this afternoon, I can finally see my favicon. This gives my website its own identity now. I am happy about it. Thanks blogger team for this feature. I love it!

It’s been some months now since I planned to update and clean-up my PC, hubby’s HP laptop and my netbook also. Due to busy schedules all the time, I can’t find a perfect time to do it. There are just a lot updates and clean-up that I need to do. I also need a document scanning software. I don’t know why I cannot connect our new printer to my Asus laptop. Again, I cannot find the exact solution since I am not really a computer geek. I can probably do it but I need more time and effort to learn about it. I am hoping to finish updating the three computers next month.

See you later folks and enjoy your weekend too! I need to slowly pack-up some stuffs for a weekend trip with friends to Bamberg.

Sometime two weeks ago my sister received an email stating that she won a green card lottery to the United States of America. As I was reading the whole mail, the sender was asking her to send through Western Union an amount to a certain person from the United Kingdom. Upon analyzing the letter she forwarded me, I told my sister to immediately put it in her spam mail because it was a fraudulent mail. In short it was a scam mail.

I believed the mail which I also received today from email address ochijilife@yahoo.com with originating IP address 98.139.212.126 is also a scam. Below is the detail of the mail and part of the full header of that mail.

BE CAREFUL WITH THIS KIND OF MAIL….THESE KIND OF MAILS ARE SCAM!

It was so far one of the most wonderful and joyous birthday celebration I had. Last Saturday was truly a memorable day for me. A lot of friends, neighbors and hubby’s relatives attended the party. Hubby’s twin sister gave me a very beautiful orchid filled with white flowers. I believed it is a Phalaenopsis one.

Sometimes, it is quite difficult to find a present for someone. If it is a lady, it is just easy to give flowers. If you don’t know where to order it, EZBloomers.com custom floral arrangements is the answer.

I always received flowers of any kind during my birthday. The people already know that I love plants and flowers. Cut flowers are always nice but I prefer a live one. Whatever present is given to me, I always love it. Besides, the most important presents are their presence in my birthday thanksgiving and celebration.

Thanks to all who attended. Till next year again.
