the winding road near our place. This is an image of the colorful and beautiful Autumn.

It is exactly three weeks now since I have been using my new notebook. I am quite contented with it because it is ten times better as the three computers in the house. When I open a certain file or view images in my albums, it is processing very quick. I have an Asus X70A Series and I guess it is also a good brand. I just need some promotional usb drives for it where I can save my extra files or maybe as give aways to my two sisters. My notebook has also a Windows 7 software, Turion M520 CPU, 4 GB memory, 640 GB hard disk drive, Win7 Premium OS, 512 MB VRAM and some other features. There is only other wish that I want before the end of the year. I wish to have a DSLR camera. I hope I can still save money for it or else hubby will be in trouble. lol! Goodnight folks!

Here is another scam or bogus mail I received last Monday. I believed I had already shared a lot of samples of scam or fraudulent mails like this one below. I had also warned you a lot regarding this spam mail. Just be careful and never entertain any of this!

Winter is inevitable. It is coming soon. Its signs can already be felt and seen by the freezing cold weather especially during the night. I heard an old woman during my visit to the doctor last Friday telling that she don’t like winter. As she came inside the clinic’s waiting room, she immediately sat on the chair located near the heater. She said that she love it when it is warm not cold.

Winter is also the time when a lot of people got sick due to cough and colds. Some are even getting allergies during this season of the year. I remember a friend who always scratch her arms and legs during winter time. Is it a form of eczema? People who have this skin problems need to have immediate eczema treatments before it get worst. I am thankful that I don’t have the same problem like my friend during winter time.

Here is an image taken last winter. I love this scene!

This is the beauty of winter. When I see this picturesque, I imagine that it seems to be like in a fairytale.

Another week is almost over. I believed we will be having the last week of October this coming week. Right guys? We are having a wet cold weather the past days until now. This is a typical Autumn weather. I will be lazy again most of the time to go walking. I am trying to reduce excess pounds but I guess achieving a quick weight loss is quite difficult for me. I love to cook and eat and this is one of the reasons for me not to easily lose weight. I am happy to say that I only ate apple tonight. For sure, I will get hungry later. I will try to control my cravings but sometimes I just can’t. Since another week is coming soon, I wish you all a wonderful one. Have a great evening!

It seems that Euro currency is getting expensive now. I was trying to convert US dollars to Euros last Friday and it seems that the latter currency is getting higher. I also browsed xe.com awhile ago and found out the following forex updates.

$1.00 = 0.71667 Euros
1 Euro = $1.39535
1 Euro = 60.0977 Phil. Peso
$1.00 = 43.07 Phil. Peso

These are only the important forex update for my personal use. I am just tracking it from time to time.

I would like to share a very short story tonight. This happened in 2006 when Sis hubby from the United States went on vacation to the Philippines. He saw our youngest brother and told him that he has a very nice tan complexion. He said that he wishes to have that skin color since he is white. I guess a tanning bed lotion can help him get that kind of complexion. I don’t understand sometimes the ladies in the Philippines who want to have a white complexion when in fact most of our white neighbors always wanted to have a brown or tan complexion. They even go lying under the sun especially during summer time just to have a brown skin. Sad to say, the risk of getting skin cancer is high when doing that.

I am happy and contented with my brown color. In fact, I am proud of it. How about you fellow citizens?

I am not surprised anymore as I received this scam mail in my inbox. Richard as what the sender or I would rather say, a scammer claimed that I won an amount of 1,2Million dollars in an email lottery. Well, this is another fraud email, a spam one, also called scam mails which must be put immediately in your spam mails.

As usual, they always ask for you personal information which you must never ever do. Disregard all mails like these if ever you receive one.

Here is the body of the whole scam letter which I received today. I just copy and pasted it here.

With the crisis that hit the whole world since 2008, a lot of people had lost their jobs. Losing a job can be one of the saddest thing that one will experience. Economic crisis is everywhere. Good for those who were able to keep their job. But sometimes, the salary is still not enough to support all our needs. There are companies who offer financial assistance especially if you have your pay slips. They are offering the so-called payday advance loan to help you cope-up with your financial needs. Whether you have hospital bills to pay, insurances that are due, money for a short vacation, mortgages to pay, these financial and lending companies are very easy to approach. Unlike when applying in bank where you need a lot of paper works and requirements, most of these lending companies offer payday loans without a lot of bureaucracy.

Top-Ranked Applications Transmit Personal IDs, a Journal Investigation Finds

Many of the most popular applications, or “apps,” on the social-networking site Facebook Inc. have been transmitting identifying information—in effect, providing access to people’s names and, in some cases, their friends’ names—to dozens of advertising and Internet tracking companies, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found.

The issue affects tens of millions of Facebook app users, including people who set their profiles to Facebook’s strictest privacy settings. The practice breaks Facebook’s rules, and renews questions about its ability to keep identifiable information about its users’ activities secure.
