Beware of notorious Project Wonderful advertisers…

Oh now, I feel that there is going to be an Annabelle Rama episode on Diwa’s blog. These Project Wonderful users are using the program to take advantage of advertising for free!! She’s on a rampage and said she will post the icons of the advertiser’s that buy ads from her spots and then cancels them so they won’t get charged by PW! Uh-oh!! I have the same experience so I will do the same thing. My goodness, 2 cents to advertise and they can’t even pay it. I will blog about this tonight as well – - so, PW advertiser’s who are fond of cancelling your ads before you get charged – - wait for your ICON to appear on this blog.

Looking for information on the best credit card offers?

With the current economical situation today, do you find yourself juggling your credit card balances from one to another just so that you can buy some time to pay them all off? Are you finding the best deals out there with reference to interest rates and so forth? It can be time consuming, trying to find the plastic that you need and get the most bang for your balance transfer. Some will claim a one year zero interest only to charge you an arm and a leg up front. Others will provide you no amount charged up front but end up giving you a shorter term for the low interest. So, how do you really know that you are picking the best credit cards for balance transfers? Well, I have some good news.

Some companies have already done the work for you. They know the current economical situation right now and they understand that the reason why you are transferring your balance is to be able to save enough money to eventually pay your debts off. Why then would you pick one that would have you end up with more debt than you started? There are many offers and it could be confusing if you do it yourself. How about going to one site and finding it all there? Wouldn’t that be convenient and less stressful. Read the press release below and maybe it could help you be pointed to the right direction.

It’s not a secret that everyone wants to get the best credit card with the most profitable features. Today more and more customers prefer rewards credit cards to other types of plastics. No wonder, as people like to get different bonuses or rewards just for using their plastics.
You will be able to benefit from the rewards programs, if you rarely carry a balance from month to month on your plastics. The fact is that credit products with reward programs have higher interest rates. Thus, the interest can offset the rewards that you get.
There are different types of credit card rewards programs. And it’s up to you to decide what type you will choose. Usually, people choose a reward program in accordance with their lifestyle, needs and preferences.
For example, you are fond of shopping, then cash back credit cards will be the best choice for you. Just imagine that you will be able to get some of your spent money back. Or you are a car driver, who spends much money on fuel. In this situation gasoline credit cards will be of great help for you. With these plastics you will have a chance to save some of your money on fuel.
So, credit cards with rewards programs can be very beneficial for you. The only thing you should do is to pay off your credit balance each month. Only then you will be able to get the most out of credit card reward programs.

He’s definitely done it now. Rev. Wright has dented Obama’s lead

You’ve probably all heard the news.  Yes, Rev. Wright has been on television since last week and over the weekend defending himself against the criticisms he’s received because of the Youtube videos that have been playing over and over on television.  He took a stand but that stand has probably been more  damaging to Obama than anything else that has come out in recent weeks.

After a loss in Pennsylvania, Obama doesn’t need this kind of damaging publicity.  Obama did breakaway on his recent speech – saying that he disagrees with Rev. Wright’s views and that Rev. Wright apparently doesn’t know him well if he could say that Obama only says things because he is in politics.

Let’s wait and see what next week brings.

Miley Cyrus Photo Scandal, the now infamous Vanity Fair photo

chuvachienes on Uncategorized 

miley-cyrus-vanity-fair-pictures.jpg

She knows how to make waves. Not only does she know how publicity gets created, she does it as soon as her last controversy dies down. Yes folks, it’s all over the news and the internet newswire. Miley Cyrus was photographed digitally by famous photographer Annie Leibovitz wearing nothing but satin with her back exposed. I heard from sources that at first, she really loved the photo and her parents were even present during the shoot. Since the controversy broke out, she has retracted and stated that she is now “embarrassed”. Okay Miley — we believe that!

If you see it and compare it to other photos by youngsters during their time (Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears), there really isn’t anything to it.  So, why the fuzz?

Chef Dale: Minding His Manners in the “Top Chef” Kitchen

A review from from March 27,2008 by nycblog.citysearch.com – boasts our Pinoy Top Chef contestant, Dale Talde. I heard he made Halo-Halo as one of his specialties on the show. Here’s the write-up.

So long Erik. Soggy corndogs do not make tasty block party food. And what was up with carting out a plate of slop to Rick Bayless and passing it off as tacos with a fine dining twist? Oh wait, that was the challenge …

Finally, a relief! The rebate checks (stimulus package checks) will go out early.

dollar.gifHouse leaders from both parties took a break from the partisan infighting on Friday to hold a joint press conference announcing that the IRS would begin sending out rebate checks several days early.

In a rare display of both speed and bipartisan consensus, congressional leaders passed an economic stimulus bill in February which included rebate checks for most Americans with the hopes of stimulating the sluggish economy.

“Many Americans believe that Washington is broken,” said House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio).

I had an iPod Shuffle contest last month and it was really fun. It was a contest for 1GB iPod shuffle where readers of my blog can add a few things to provide ranking to my new site. There were 114 entries in total and we had a special drawing where the video was taken while the winners were picked. We picked three winners and announced it a week later.

It was amazing how two of the winners blogged about their experience that is all about how to practice the Law of Attraction while Still Letting Go of Ego. I was surprised because I’ve read “The Secret” and Laws of Attraction simply means that you can get something that you want if you think positively and claiming that it’s yours. They both said that all they did was think that they’re going to win the iPod, and voila!!! They both won!

The Sedona Method is one way to show you how you can practice and master the Law of Attraction without letting go of your ego as prescribed by A New Earth and how The Sedona Method is at the leading edge of the peaceful revolution in consciousness that is sweeping the planet.

You can obtain a Free CD and DVD to understand how The Sedona Method is the bridge between The Secret and the Law of Attraction. It is effective and like they say, “A less known yet equally important law is the “Law of Surrender” or the “Law of Letting Go.”
When you let go of the old patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, you make room and free up the energy required to attract all that your heart desires.”

Gabby Concepcion’s manager talks about brouhaha over the actor’s product endorsement

gabby_kc.jpg

I’m sure that Gabby expected all these dramas. There’s no turning back now. He gets his endorsements, no more selling of real estate and hoping for the best. This is better than the housing market today. People actually come to you to pay you, but you just have to be professional about it.

Pinag-uusapan ngayon ang tungkol sa alitan nina Gabby Concepcion at ng kanyang manager na si Mrs. Rose Flaminiano laban sa entertainment columnist-radio host na si Jobert Sucaldito. Ito ay kaugnay ng isang whitening product na dapat ay ie-endorse diumano ni Gabby na si Jobert ang nakipag-deal sa halagang P2.5-million.

Cool Wave Ceptor – A Casio technology.

wvq600dca-9av.jpgThe first watch I got while in high school was a Casio watch. I was excited to own it because it was the trend and everyone was wearing them. Casio watches then are different than the watches they produce today. There’s this new product called Wave Ceptor that calibrates time and using an antenna from the Fort Collins, CO transmitter within a 2000 mile radius. An innovative way of telling time, it is advanced and way cool.

The Wave Ceptor is cool enough and they have used the technology as well where you can have that Analog look yet still utilize Atomic energy. How do you like that? Casio watches are way cool!

Let’s hope not. Patrick Swayze Documents Living Trust

swayzepa291105_300×450.jpg

It has been reported that the Dirty Dancing and Ghost star Patrick Swayze, who’s known to be battling pancreatic cancer, has filed a living trust on March 28th according to the documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight.  This is usually done by people on the verge of death and getting their affairs in order before they die.

I am hoping and praying that he can come out of this.  Patrick is still very young and  when I read the news today, I was really saddened by it.

Let’s pray for Patrick  Swayze’s recovery.   God bless you Patrick.

This is the best season to visit San Diego.

As you may all know, I have lived in 5 different states in the course of my stay here in the U.S. One of the best was living in California although people are so transient there that I didn’t develop much friendships. When I went back to the East Coast, I realized that I do miss California. I was there for two and a half years, living in Torrance and yet I was only able to venture out a little bit into San Diego, San Luis Obispo, and San Francisco.

The best place that I enjoyed was San Diego. I went there on a business trip as one of my clients are located in San Diego. It was beautiful there. I have always longed to go back but I haven’t had the time or chance. I was able to visit San Diego Zoo though, through the courtesy of my friends living in Rancho Santa Margarita. I loved it! I love zoos for some reason. San Diego zoo tickets aren’t that expensive and you get to see the wildlife up close and just think – we live in a beautiful world with beautiful creatures.

Now I have a friend that moved out from the east to downtown San Diego. I would love to visit him but he is currently in Iraq. When he returns, I will be sure to travel back there and explore even more. I would love to go hiking out there as well.

If you don’t know anyone and you haven’t been to San Diego, you may want to go with a tour company. Besides, it’s much easier to schedule sightseeing tours if you go with a tour company than your own. Specially if you only have a limited time on your vacation.

What you can do is probably go this Spring over to the west coast since this is the perfect season for it.

People, movies, and TV shows in the memorable ’80s

bagets.JPG

Those were the days.

When girls unwittingly contributed to the destruction of Mother Earth’s ozone layer by spraying Aquanet on their hair to achieve the Triplets look (the singing group of Manilyn Reynes, Sheryl Cruz, Tina Paner) or the Ana Abiera hairstyle…

When boys showed off their “brush-up” hair, a la Ramon Christopher, with a mullet a la Jestoni Alarcon (thick curly top and long “tail” down the back like Mel Gibson’s in Lethal Weapon 1) and donned their baston pants with zippers on both sides of the trouser legs, a la Aga Muhlach…

Redback spiders invade outback Queensland hospital

* Hospital infested with poisonous redback spiders
* Fears they will fall onto patient’s beds
* Fumigators on their way after bumper breeding season

AN OUTBACK Queensland hospital will close temporarily to deal with a poisonous redback spider infestation after concerns they could fall from the ceiling on to patient beds.

Pest controllers were brought in to fumigate the 10-bed multipurpose health service at Baralaba – a town of about 290 people an hour’s drive from Moura, in central Queensland.

If it works for you, why not?

Summer would soon be here again. Enough of cleaning inside my home. It’s time to move outside and plant flowers, mow the lawn, and do some real outdoor work. Of course, no one should do outdoor work without safety precautions. Get some work gloves, work boots, and protective gear so that you are sure to be safe. It’s great to work outdoors specially now that the weather is still not too hot and no longer freezing. The perfect weather.

I remember my sister’s neighbor in Maryland. During the Winter and Fall seasons, her home is immaculate but her lawn looks like a mess. But if you see her lawn during the Spring and Summer months, the best manicured lawn could not be compared to theirs. Her motto? Winter/Fall – Inside. Spring/Summer – Outside. Hey, that works for me!

Hillary Clinton wins Pennsylvania by 10 points!!!

chuvachienes on Uncategorized 

My support has never dwindled and as much as I try to steer away from politics, I am glad to announce the Hillary won Pennsylvania. Another big state win for her!

Go Go Go!!

There’s not dropping out of the race now. We can make it….

It would be such a cool place to go.

I received an email from my sister that my niece (who loves to travel by the way) just gave birth to a bouncing baby girl! I was so happy to hear that she has finally settled down and enjoying the life of a new mother. She’s the type who can’t sit still in one place (or continent for that matter). She’s been all over Europe, living a full year in England while in school. She’s been to Costa Rica and all over Asia including Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines.

One time, she sent me pictures when she went to South Africa. The pictures of those kids, playing and their joyful faces. How I wished I was there. I haven’t had time for vacation at all this year and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be in the near future as well but I thought of checking out flights to South Africa and see if I could get a bargain. I’m still undecided but it seemed to be a cool place to visit and explore. Different culture, different world. Anyone willing to join me? If so, you may want to try Dialaflight.com.

Love at first watch: The magic of “Dear Heart” revisited

sharon_cuneta_gabby_concepcion.JPG

After Sharon was given a recording contract at the age of 12, singer-composer Rey Valera remembers feeling perplexed when he was commissioned to write a song for the young singer. A straight-ahead love song, according to Valera, didn’t seem fit for someone so young.

But Rey wouldn’t allow himself either to write anything like a nursery tune. He toiled for a few days. And then, while riding a jeepney he suddenly came up with a song he’d call “Mr. DJ.” Valera instinctively knew that he unearthed a gold mine. “Mr. DJ” did become a major hit and the young Sharon Cuneta became a singing sensation.

Here comes the bride – all dressed in white.

Weddings and occasions are here again. It’s Springtime!

The big thing about it are the preparation that started a year ago… including planning for the location, the honeymoon, the reception and so forth.  It takes a lot of planning and I don’t want to be in the position of the bride or the maid of honor planning it because it can be really stressful.  Some people are built to do just that, I’m not.

One cool  thing that I’ve received one time when I attended a wedding was a bottle of locally produced wine with the customized label of the occasion.  I thought it was pretty neat and very personal.

Custom Wine Label service allows individuals, corporations, wineries, and restaurants, among others, to create their own unique custom wine bottle labels. Choose from a variety of custom wine label options guaranteed to meet your requirements. Personalized wine labels make a beautiful, unique gift or can be used to add a special touch to your private wine collection. They’re also perfect for special occasions and celebrations such as anniversaries, parties and celebrations, grand openings, and as corporate gifts.

Label World produces a variety of labels for several different products. They manufacture these custom labels on a wide scale basis, for large businesses such as wineries and food companies. Please emphasize that the labels are intended for large orders rather than an order of 20 wine labels for a wedding.

Ayan na – everybody is talking about Chikatime.com daw!!

O, sey ninyo.  Nasa Inquirer na ang Chikatime nang aking mga kumareng Vanessa at Vhong.   Kailangan ba talagang sabihin pa ng Showbiz and Style section ng Inquirer na nag-la-log on sila sa banday Pasay at Makati?  Kairita naman yon.  Inquirer, kaya nga anonymous no.. talaga bang i-Chika pa yung location.  Kayo na rin nga ang nagsabing nakatanggap na ng mga death threats yung mga people behind the blog, eh ibubulgar nyo pa yung mga haka-haka ninyo.  Talaga naman o.

“Attempts at tracking down the group behind the blog have been futile so far. According to one blog investigator, he does not have the real names of the bloggers but he knows they log on from Makati and from Pasay. “

Pero congrats mga kumare!!     Ang claim ng Inquirer ay sumikat daw kay dahil sa pag-chika ng Brian Gorrell at DJ Montano issue.  O divanetchiwas?!  Galeng!!   So, talk of the town na kayo.  Baka kayo na ang next Perez Hilton… dream come true!!!
It’s all for fun.  Kaya relax lang kayo.. haha!!

Does everyone remember Paul from Britain’s Got Talent? Yes, the Opera Singer.

Well, thanks to another blogger where I found this video of a Filipina club singer named Madonna Decena. She is a current contestant on Britain’s Got Talent. The video moved me to tears and it reminded me on how I felt when I watched the video of Paul as he sang Nessun Dorma. The same goes for this Filipina who wishes nothing but to be able to provide for her two daughters back in the Philippines.

Here’s Paul’s Video – - remember how you feel before watching the other video after the JUMP. Tell me about your experience.
