The World Wide Web Addict

You might be confused with my title here. I don’t mean here a factory that manufactures baby. I just heard this from a friend who told me that our place is a “baby factory”. Let me tell you a bit about it. I live near the U.S. Base in Germany. My friend told me before that her friend who was assigned in this base always got pregnant every year. As the family left Germany after three years of being stationed here, they already have four children. That is the reason why my highlight for today is about duet dha. It is a sort of prenatal vitamins taken by pregnant women. Click that link to know more about it. Lastly, an acquaintance also told me last year that they had four baby showers in our place. I am not really sure if our place is really a baby factory because until now, I still did not get pregnant. lol! We need to plan about it. Congrats to my friend who is also four months pregnant.

I received this email today in my inbox. This is the first time I received an email from Google telling me that I won some amount on their drawing. I already received the same mails almost everyday in my inbox but this is the first time from Google. Is this another scam again? These scammers are using Google now but I am telling you guys, never ever believe in this kind of mails because this is a scam. In short, it is a fraud. Google will never ever send emails like this.

The email only contain a pdf attachment with Google Award title. If you have to take a look on the header part of the mail where it came from, you can see an email address that it is from official@google.com. I tried to hit reply and it was redirected to email address frank.smith@ciudad.com.ar

If you happen to receive such kind of mails, please immediately put it as spam and delete it. Never ever reply and don’t give your personal information to these scammers.

I also surf the net that if you happen to receive this mail, you can report it to abuse@google.com. You can also report it to www.ic3.gov, which is the Internet Crime Complaint Center, which deals with internet crime as a partner with the FBI.

Good evening folks! I am here again to share a little update. I am having some sleepless nights the past evenings. I don’t know why. Is it probably because I am quite excited with the adventure that will take place in some weeks to come? Now, I see more dark shadows and some wrinkles around my eyes. I believed it is time to search for a good eye wrinkle cream. I bought one last time but I was having some pimples and even acne growing on my face and neck. I just need to find an effective one. I am thankful that it is slowly fading now or else I might visit again my dermatologist. Of course, I can sleep during the night but already too late like 2am. It also caused me to wake-up very late which I truly find not so good. I just have a lot of cleaning to do in the house due to some renovations we are having right now. I hope hubby can finish all before month end. I guess that’s all for now. Have a great evening to all!

We’re now in the middle of July! I guess I won’t stop writing posts about scam or spam mails unless these scammers will stop sending these fraudulent mails. I have 868 spam mails right now. Thanks goodness when Yahoo can directly put it in my spam mails. I don’t really have time to entertain these kind of mails. I am also tired of receiving and reading these kind of emails.I already posted a lot of samples of these fraudulent emails in this blog. Feel free to browse my categories here. I just want you to be aware of it and please never even entertain these kind of emails.

Here is again another sample of a scam mail which I received today. I just copied and pasted it here for your information.

Hello Dear,

I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you, but do consider it as an emergency. I am Miss Ojita Edesiri from Liberia in West Africa who is seeking for refugee in Republic of Benin under the (UNHCR) due to the longing civil war in my country.

My (late) father Dr.John Edesiri, was the personal adviser to the former head of states, also a successful business man import and exporter of Cocoa during his life time. But he was killed along side with my mother during the longing civil war and all his properties were totally destroyed.

However, after their death I managed to escape with a very important document DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE (USD$5.9M) Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand United State Dollars deposited by my late father in one of the leading bank with my name as the next of kin.

Meanwhile, I am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality to help me transfer the money over to his/her country and into possession pending my arrival to meet with him.

Furthermore, you can contact the bank for confirmation, I will send to you the full contact address of the bank, once I get your positive response to help me with the transfer of the funds to your bank account, and help me with the investment of the funds, and my coming over to join with you in your country.

In the light of above I will like you to keep it to yourself and don’t tell it to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and the money. I wait your positive response.

Remain Bless
Miss Ojita.“

It happened again last Monday. We did not have an internet connection the whole day and the whole night. I was quite sad because I never had the chance to go online, check the mails in my inbox and update my blogs. I also don’t have the chance to surf for the best diet pills that work. Until now, I still have no idea what is really the best one with no side effects. I was thinking that Telecom was having maintenance again last Monday, the reason why we don’t have an internet connection. As I checked it the following day, bingo! I was online again. It made me happy lol! I am taking a short break to water the plants and flowers in our garden. Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Do you have problems about losing excess weight? Are you having problem about obesity? Do you know what is the best idea to lose weight? If yes, then we are having the same problem. The other night, I was looking on my old photographs and compared how fast I did gained weight during my seven years of living in Europe. I wish to have an immediate stomach weight loss because there are a lot of pants and clothing that won’t fit me anymore. I read online that there are a lot of ways on how to lose weight nowadays. There is a substantial market for products which promise to make weight loss easier, quicker, cheaper, more reliable, or less painful. There are cremes, lotions, pills, CDs, body wraps, body belts, online tutorials, fitness centers and other food products and supplements. The question is, which is the most effective and the cheapest ones? I am still hoping to lose extra pounds!

It is always sad when we lost a love one, friend, relative or anybody that is important to us. How much more when you lost 4 members of your family at the same time. Our deepest condolence and sympathy to my friend and batchmate Jonathan Demetillo for losing his parents, onyl sister and nephew. Their family driver is also included. May their souls rest in peace. May Jojo be given all the strength and more faith to face the most challenging trials in his life. God bless you and your family Jo! Here is the news about that tragic incident.

5 Filipinos die in road accident in Saudi Arabia

SAUDI ARABIA – Four members of a Filipino family, including a 5-year-old boy, and their driver died in a tragic vehicular accident in the dark highways of Al-Hassa, Saudi Arabia, Wednesday night.

The Philippine Overseas Labor Office-Eastern Region Operations (POLO-ERO) identified the fatalities as Robert Demetrio, who is employed in a workshop in Al-Hassa; his wife Elizabeth, a teacher; their daughter Joyce Hassan, a nurse at the National Guard Hospital in Hofuf; and their 5-year-old grandson, Hope.

The victims are from Kidapawan, North Cotabato.

The Filipino driver of their vehicle, Gener de Java also perished in the accident.

Pedro de Castro Ibañez, who was accompanying the group, was the lone survivor of the accident.

The Demetrios were on their way to the airport when the accident happened. They were supposed to fly back to the Philippines for a vacation.

Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the accident.

Labor Attaché David Des Dicang said that the POLO-ERO will be coordinating with the Saudi authorities and the victims’ respective employers to assist in the repatriation of the bodies and look into the possible benefits for their next of kin. – Report from Raffy Beltran

Good morning folks! It is TGIF again! For sure all workers and employees who have off during weekends are happy again. I guess not for dear hubby because he will be doing some renovations again in the house. Hubby have been working hard during weekends since the month of May for some renovations we are having right now in our house. We want to save some money. That is the reason why we are doing the renovation ourselves. On the other hand, I was scratching my face again as I woke-up this morning. I found out that there are acne growing on my face and even on my nape. I immediately did an acne treatment myself because I still have some acne cream left. I had a very bad acne problem the first years I live in Europe. I am thankful that it is getting better now. I guess that’s only my quick update for today. More in my other blogs.

Washington (dpa) – An American research team has discovered two human antibodies, the laboratory more than 90 percent of all HIV strains known to stop in. The proteins with the terms and VRC01 VRC02 neutralize HIV strains more so than any other known antibodies.

The scientists report to John Mascola of the U.S. health research institutions (NIH) “in the journal” Science. The researchers hope to understand the basis of antibody to AIDS infection might be even better and even develop a vaccine can.

“The discovery of this extremely broad neutralizing antibodies (…) is an exciting advance that will accelerate our efforts to develop a preventive HIV vaccine for worldwide use,” said the director of the NIH Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID ) in Bethesda, Anthony S. Fauci.

So far, the search for an HIV vaccine, the main reason has been difficult because the AIDS virus is constantly changing. Therefore, there are numerous HIV variants worldwide. The newly discovered antibodies would “adhere to a virtually unchanging part of the virus, which explains why they” can neutralize an extraordinarily large number of HIV strains, said Mascola, deputy director of the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) at the NIAID.

The researchers isolated the antibodies from the blood of an HIV-infected patients. For this they used a specially modified HIV protein. VRC01 VRC02 block and a docking of the virus, with which it attaches itself to the cell to infect it. Is this CD4-binding site occupied, this prevents the virus from docking to the cell.

info: this news is written originally in German. I just use Google translation to have it in English.

I always experience that when a script is running in my computer, it always slows my PC. Sometimes my PC even freezes which makes me very sad. Below is a sample of a script and the message that appears on my screen.

“A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Any idea why this is happening? or probably the reason why it always appears on my screen? It’s time to search for best diet supplement before I sign-off for tonight! I wish you all a great weekend! Happy celebration of the 4th of July to all American friends. Stay safe! Might be out tomorrow for a grill party to a friend’s house.
