The World Wide Web Addict

Hey guys! How it is going? I hope all is fine and your all doing good! I got a little bit problem now because I left my cute Acer Aspire. I am at the internet cafe right now because there is no internet connection in my Mother’s place. We have a computer there but I can’t use it due to above reason. Anyway, I am just sending my best regards to everyone especially to those who visited and viewed my sites. I am quite busy right now with some projects. More updates to come as soon as I can. Take care folks and stay safe all the time.

How’s everyone doing out there? I am finally here sharing a little update. Sorry guys if you don’t see me online all the time. I am quite busy having a vacation. Anyway, I can’t also remember if I already shared about my netbook. It broke down three weeks ago. I also realized the important of having online backup because as it broke down, I lost all my personal files in it. I am just thankful that I save all my documents, photos and other important files in an external hard drive. I believed most of you already know the important of having back-up for all your computer files. Better safe than sorry. How I wish to have more time giving you more updates. Take care guys.

Good evening guys! I finally updated this blog after having buys days. I will be home soon! I can’t wait to see my family and friends once again! Thanks to all friends who visit my blogs. I truly appreciate it guys! I wish to give you some updates when I am away! take care everyone! I am praying for a safe and sound trip back home starting tomorrow. God bless!

Christmas is In the Air! This is especially true especially in my home country where you can already hear the Christmas songs beginning the Ber months. It means that when September comes, you can already see Christmas decorations in the mall and hear Christmas songs over the radio . I am happy to spend Christmas back home this time. It’s been 6 years that I did not celebrate it with my family. I also bought a lot of Christmas cards for my family, relatives and friends. I would to apologize in advance if you cannot see me updating my blogs all the time. Of course, I will try my best to give you some updates when time is possible. I will also share some photos from my home country. I can’t see to experience the sunny weather, blue sky and white beaches back home. Happy holiday in advance! Stay safe all the time!

Enough with all those entry full of words. It is time to cool off your eyes with this watery picture. I took this one as we went walking in our place last weekend. That was simpkly a wonderful weekend. I am wishing you all a lovely one in advance!

Every time we visit a certain place or city, I always buy a guide or travel book which shows all the interesting sights of that place. I already have a lot of book collections from the different cities and countries that I visited in Europe. Sometimes, I am browsing online for businesses who offer and sell books which are cheaper in prices. I got some travel books which I also ordered online. You can find great sites who offer affordable ones. Better browse the net if you want to save some bucks! I am signing-off now.. See you later guys!

Good evening guys! I am expecting and waiting today for my new lens camera to be delivered. I even wrote a message on a paper outside the door that the Postman need to knock our door louder so that I can hear him. We don’t have a doorbell anyway. This is an assignment for HB for next year. I also ordered online some batteries for this new camera. I am also hoping to get it anytime this week. I guess I can have better pictures with this new camera soon.

I just received this forwarded email from my dear friend Liway about Computer Virus. I have not check it yet in Snopes. I just want to share it here for your information. The most important thing is, never open any attachments in your emails especially if you are not sure about it. Sometimes these attchments contains computer viruses. Below is the body of this forwarded email.

“THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE!

“DO NOT DELETE”

TWO SUBJECT LINES of which to be AWARE

Just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL. ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR FICTION,IT’S on their site also.

PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE you know!

Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!

1.) If you get an e-mail along the lines of ‘Osama Bin Laden Captured’ or ‘Osama Hanged’ , don’t open the Attachment!!!!

This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel. Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:

2.) You should be alert during the next few 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

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=2 0ther vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!!

I ask last time one of the employees of a shipping company that ships balikbayan boxes to the Philippines about the cost of sending boxes if ever I will send around 20 to 50 boxes. She just laughed to me as she heard my question. Moving thousands of miles away can be very difficult. Of course there are companies like cross country movers who will assist you in moving your stuffs. I was thinking if HB will decide to move in the Philippines in ten years. I told him that as of now, I can’t still decide. I will wait what will happen in the next years. For now, I am still enjoying my life here in Europe especially seeing interesting places here. If you are planning to move, there are companies who can help you.

I finally ordered another camera online. This time it is a lens camera. It is a Sony DSLR-A230. It cost around 500.00 Euros. I read a lot of reviews that it is good for a beginner like me. Despite of HB’s objection not to buy it (because I am going for a long vacation back home and needs a lot of finances) I was still able to order it. Hopefully, I can have the gadget this week before I fly home. I am happy to have one of my wishes. I guess, I can make great photos in my vacation. Below are the features of this lens camera.FEATURES
