The World Wide Web Addict

Blogger is finally back! It is almost a whole day since blogger was unavailable. I am happy that is back again but not really 100%. I was able to post some articles in my other blogs yesterday. Sad to say, I can’t still find those posts inspite being posted yesterday. I am quite worried about it. I am happy to hear that Eddie Kessler, Tech Lead/Manager of Blogger posted in Blogger Buzz that all those posts and comments will be restored soon. I hope very very soon!

I always checked today a lot of times when blogger will be backed to normal but the following message below always appears on my screen;

“Blogger is currently unavailable
Blogger is unavailable right now. We apologize for this interruption in service.
Please visit Blogger Status for additional details.”

I also read this noon time the messages from Blogger status which says below;

“Friday, May 13, 2011

To get Blogger back to normal, all posts since 7:37am PDT on Weds, 5/11 have been temporarily removed. We expect everything to be back to normal soon. Sorry for the delay.”

Thanks a lot to all Blogger technicians and employees who did their best for the success of this maintenance.

It seems that my Sony point and shoot digital camera is retiring very soon. That is also the reason why I ordered a new one the other day. It is still working but sometimes you will lose your patience because it took you too long to press its shoot button. Hubby told me to have a new replacement for it and I told him, okey fine! I don’t need at the moment a canon projector but I am wishing for a Canon D7 SLR. Not now I guess, because my 550D or T2I model is only around 6 months old. Besides I have other priorities now than buying it, traveling. I am quite contented with my Canon T2I but when given a chance and budget to buy a D7 would truly make me happy.

I am very happy for my two friends whose daughters will be graduating in high school soon. I also found some pictures of my friend in facebook where her daughter together with her classmates are wearing prom dresses. Her daughter look very beautiful in her prom dress. I just remember that this one friend of mine is still looking for a prom dress for her daughter’s Senior Prom. I want to ask her tomorrow if she already found one. I believed she can find a lot in the internet or else she should go to a dress shop that is sewing and selling such kind of attires. I guess Prom, short for promenade, is only famous in the United States and Canada. Right guys?

I received this mail from Yahho last month telling that MyBloglog will be discontinued effective May 24, 2011. As a blogger, this is quite an impact for me because this this a blog directory which also help my blogs to be more visible in the net. If that is Yahoo’s decision,what can I do being just an ordinary blogger. Below was the mail sent by Yahoo! MyBlogLog last month.

I received again another strange email in my inbox today. It is sometimes nonsense and annoying. The one who sent it to me was a female. Did she not realized that I am a female too if she will try to look at my email address? Most of the times, I disregard this kind of mail because it is a spam anyway. I finally clicked spam to avoid receiving it in the future. I better browse about the best creatine than entertaining this kind of mail.

Below is the body of this spam mail. I just copied and pasted it from my inbox.

Hello everyone! I did not remember that today is already the last day of April until hubby told me this noon time. I hope you had a wonderful month of April 2011 just like me. I believed this is a good month for me because I did accomplished some small things. The best part that happened was during my spring vacation in Monaco. We also visited some places in Italy like Cinque Terre and San Remo and also in France especially Nice, Cannes and Menton. I will share more updates about this in my other travel sites. For now, I need to search and read about post workout supplement reviews before we will visit the 4th day of German-American Volksfest in Hohenfels. This will be my 4th day of visit to this festival which is already a history for me. Ladt night, I had fun and enjoyment with some friends especially listening to the live band inside the beer tent.

Without further adieu, I wish you all in advance a more fruitful and stress-free month of May. I am finally saying goodbye April, hello May! Happy weekend too!

Hello folks! It seems that the month of April is almost ending now. Time truly pass-by so fast. It has been almost five years now since I am jobless. Despite of that, I can say that I am still alive and kicking. In fact my life has more adventures and excitements compared to the time when I was still working. Don’t you know that I still keep my name tags from my last employer. It is just a sort of remembrance for me. It says my name, my job position and the company that I worked with. At least, once in my life I became a supervisor of one of the biggest retail stores in the U.S. with branches in some countries around the world. It was a wonderful and challenging experience and I believed I had done my part.

Have a lovely day to all!

I previously received some of these messages in my facebook profile telling about giving away of Apple iPad2 to test out. I don’t really believed such kind of messages. I tried to click the link that was given in the message and I was redirected to a website with a URL below;
http://mybrandprizes.com/ip/index.php?lid=ip_13326_2890e&add_offerid=7993191&addomain=rsgauge10.com&addomain_id=62&uniclk=true

They will ask you to select the color of the Ipad2 and the zip code of the city/country where you live. I tried typing the zip code in Cebu City, Philippines and Brussels, Belgium but they won’t accept it. I tried a zip code in Las Vegas, Nevada and then it goes, you can continue with the registration. Just a reminder, never ever register because this site is a Spam or Scam and with malicious adware according to MacAfee Site Advisor.

Be very careful with this scam and never ever give your personal information like full name, address, birthday, telephone number. etc. When I read their disclosure it says, “ Your information will be shared with our marketing partners.“. This is not really good.

Better delete it in your facebook profile or inbox if ever you received it.
Below are the messages that I received in facebook.

“Ruby Guess what? You know who just got a new Apple iPad2 to test out and keep without paying a cent. I don’t think this will last long, they are only sending out a limited supply of promo ipad2’s in each area so you should hurry. It did not come with any leather case or fancy accessories but who cares, it was free! This is where I got it from..

Another week is here again. I have to make again some double time to finish all the jobs before I take-off this coming Friday. I have been very busy this morning. I woke-up earlier to do some errands. After I took my tea ceremony, I immediately made me ready to go to the Gemiende or municipal hall to submit the plan for our carports and terrace. I also went to the post office to send a mail.

I went shopping after that. When I stopped at the gas station to fill-up my car, I complained because the gasoline was so expensive. Imagine almost 1.63 Euros per liter?? I can’t do anything because I need gas very badly or else I will be pushing my car.

When I went home, I was a bit pissed-off because the daughter’s neighbor parked her car to our parking area. I don’t really get easily angry but my hunger was making me crazy this noon time. I ended up parking the car on the side of the street and carrying the heavy bags of grocery items inside the house. It did me more effort of carrying which made me more hungry….arrgh! .uh uh!..relax…take care of your heart..lol!

I don’t understand sometimes why some people are so nonsense. They already know that it is not their area but still they keep on parking there. When I get pissed-off again, I will close our boundary so that they can’t park their car anymore. I guess, hubby is right the neighbors children are blöd! In short st*pid…sorry for the bad word..I don’t really want to say it but what happened this noon time just made me so mad.

I ended up broking my favorite bowl when I was cooking this noon time because I was in a hurry already. I felt better again after eating. I want to eat during lunch time in Mc Donald but I am not really a junk eater. Enough for my rants today, besides I don’t want to raise my blood pressure..wink! . I need to do some more errands now because I will be away for some days starting Friday for a short trip.

Have a lovely day to all!
