There but for the grace of God
I admit there are times when the line between needing and wanting something blurs, as my desire to upgrade or update anything that I have overpowers common sense.
But after going through this slide show I promise myself never ever to complain about anything material of which I would rather have more.
Don’t think it, inkers.biz it.
Printer owners in the Philippines might do well to be as fortunate as those from New York to Los Angeles USA. They have direct online access to Inkers.biz. Inkers.biz carries cheaper substitutes to branded inkjet and printer toner cartridges. You might think of it as the cheaper medicines bill for printers.
Inkers.biz have replacement ink and toners for printers from Apple to Xerox and even has fax supplies for Brother, Panasonic and Sharp fax machines.
What needs a bit of improvement on their website though is the lack of a direct search facility for people who don’t have time to click through the choices. It won’t hurt to have a main search page with drop-down choices for brands, drilling down to type and part number. Even an “enter part number” box would be quite helpful. Perhaps we will see this on their site in future.
They keep their stocks affordable by selling exclusively online, where their ordering facilities are hosted by Yahoo stores, and vouched for by BBB Online SSL Certificates. They also have a toll-free number at 800-848-7232
Inkers.biz cartridges and toners are not only guaranteed defect-free for 365 days, they even have a 30-day return policy, no questions asked. Purchases can be paid for by credit card through PayPal.
Thanks to my Top 10 Entrecard Droppers!
As an Entrecard newbie I do not claim to know the intricacies of the Entrecard system. What I do know is it has opened up my blog to a wider range of readers, as well as led me to other blogs I wouldn’t otherwise find on my own. Although I remain a casual and relaxed dropper, there is no doubt that I have gained a lot more than what I have given so far.
So to give some of it back I would like to thank my top 10 Entrecard Droppers today. I intend to publish this table, updated, once a week month. The table is copied directly from the Statistics page on my Entrecard account, with links edited so that clicking on them will take you directly to the Entrecard page of each blog.
$20,887.98? O rly?
My blog is worth $20,887.98.
How much is your blog worth?
This has been around for quite a while, I just haven’t bothered trying out my blog on it as I didn’t think I’d see a decent number there. I ran into it again as I was making my entrecard rounds and thought yeah ok just for kicks.
The explanation and more or less mathematical basis of the amount stated above can be found HERE.
If you’d like your own widget or want to try it just for fun, click HERE.
Wish those were actual dollars though.
What’s your name’s hidden meaning?

What Maria Marina Victoria Means |
 You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don’t have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you’ll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing. |
At another’s expense
Around 25 years ago, the homeowners association of a small subdivision called Sto. Nino Village in Banilad, Cebu would sponsor a mass every Sunday. This mass was held at the Village clubhouse, and was attended by most of the Catholic residents of the village, as calling on God had become more convenient. Several priests were invited to say mass, but the crowd had favorites even back then, as they have favorite American Idols today.
Back then the favorite priest was Achilles Dakay, then just Fr. Achilles Dakay and not yet Monsignor Achilles Dakay. Fr. Dakay was our favorite priest because his sermons always made the congregation laugh and think, and he seemed at the time a very likable person. First Sundays were reserved for Fr. Dakay, and I remember the mass goers felt a little disappointed when he could not make it to mass, and sending someone in his stead.
I stopped going to mass in 1985 (for reasons that shall be discussed elsewhere) and I left Cebu in 1999. I had not seen or heard of the Monsignor mainly because I had lost interest both in the Catholic Church and in the goings-on in Cebu City, which to me is now alien territory.
But seeing Monsignor Dakay on the news tonight, hearing him say that the medical scandal at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC) is the fault of the victim and that the victim should accept some of the blame for what happened—I could not believe what I was watching and hearing. Monsignor Dakay’s popularity, or at least what I remember of it, stemmed from his open-mindedness and compassion. Or maybe I remember wrongly.

INTP - The “Engineer”
INTPs are logical, individualistic, reserved, and very curious individuals.
They focus on ideas, theories and the explanation of how things work. They are especially adept at discussions and debate. They have the ability to focus intently on a subject. They appreciate and respect intelligence in others.
“INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to most anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.”
“INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. They seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge. They are the “absent-minded professors”, who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions.”
And aha! Now I realize why my very first blog monicker was SevenOfNine other than because I liked Jeri Randall Ryan of Star Trek Voyager. She’s one of the fictional characters who are INTP. Now that they mention it, so is Commander Data of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Three of the jobs I have had are also on the INTP Career Matches list: Musician, Computer Specialist, Technical Writer, Project Manager, which was probably why I was very happy in those jobs. Wonder what it would be like to be an Archaeologist (jeez did I even spell that right) …
Thanks Christine 
Listen to this lady and weep
Her name is Madonna Decena and she is singing for her kids.
The show is called Britain’s Got Talent (American Idol in one of its various incarnations). There’s over thirty videos of her performance on YouTube, but I found this one to load the fastest, probably because its one of the later ones, and there were too many people downloading the older ones.
This Madonna rocks!
Million Blog List
and Press this Button is #906.
I’ve joined up at the Million Blog List, which states:
It is said that there are over 70,000,000 blogs in existence. This is an experiment to see how long it will take to get 1,000,000 blogs to list themselves on our site.
Since the project started only on the 8th of April and is gaining momentum along with popularity, I think we can hit the million mark in the middle of 2008. Maybe even earlier, with all the viral publicity it is getting (and that it offers as well).
Bloggers of the world unite!
If I die … this is what I want the autopsy to say
