This particular story is true.  The king of pop sufferred a cardiac arrest and died June 25, 2009  2:26pm.  That’s June 26 in the Philippines.

I’m sure a lot of people / fans will grieve his death. I, for one, am a big fan.  His dance moves were one of a kind.  You never see them replicated “purely” by somebody else, not even Gary Valenciano : ) .  The dancers closest to replicating his moves, of course, are his backup dancers.

Michael Jackson is the one and only Moonwalker.

My favorite team in the universe, the Los Angeles Lakers won the 2009 NBA Finals yesterday.

I lost 2 cases of beer betting against the Lakers but, boy, spending for 2 cases of beer in exchange for my team winning is money well spent.

By the way, I was part of the group that drank (and will drink) that 2 cases of beer I lost.

You lose, you win.  I’m very very happy.  Cheers!

I think this is the best Google doodle ever.

I noticed a lot of people are posting advertisements about typing jobs that you get to do at home. One particular advertisement I found was posted Cebu Ad Spot.  (The advertisement has since been deleted. Good riddance.)

I followed the link and it led me to a site that bombards you with a lot of information, you actually will forget why you went to that site in the first place. Read more »

So, you’re looking for a Ruffa Mae Quinto - Hayden Kho Scandal Video download eh?

There have been rumors about this scandal video but Ruffa Mae has been very persistent on denying it.  There are also rumors that Hayden Kho actually has about forty scandal videos with different women.  Do you believe that? Read more »

Here we go again.  Video scandals abound, thanks to Hayden Kho.  Would you believe there are potentially forty scandal videos made by Hayden Kho?

Vicky Belo already admitted that she and Hayden Kho has a scandal video.  The question is, will the public ever see it?  The people behind the video proliferation could be on a wait-and-see mode right now as the Senate in the Philippines has taken a keen interest in the recent video scandals.

PLDT is launching “fiber to the home” (FTTH).

Exciting.

Allegedly, FTTH willl deliver high-speed data to homes and buildings.

Fiber optic technology transmits data via light signals sent through thin strands of pure glass.  Imagine that, your data travelling through light, inside a strand of pure glass no less.

The new platform will be able to deliver simultaneous voice, video and data services at much higher speeds and larger capacities than DSL or Cable.  I guess it’s like merging DSL and Cable and giving it steroids. Read more »

Sometimes you will want to transfer your domain name from one web hosting company to another.  In my case, I want to transfer a domain name from GoDaddy to Host Monster.  The recipient hosting company (Host Monster, in my case) will require the EPP Code.  Trust me, it’s hard to find (at least for GoDaddy).

Here’s how to do it: Read more »

There’s a new free online classified ad site that caters to Cebu City residents - Cebu Ad Spot.

The beauty of having a Cebu-only classified ad portal is that the buyers and sellers immediately know that the transaction is going to happen in Cebu City.  The target audience is more focused, thus, the transactions are quicker.  It doesn’t hurt that posting classified ads is free of charge.

For almost a month now, my PLDT DSL has been slow and intermittent.  I subscribed for the 384kbps package (Plan 990) but I get only about 100 to 200 kbps download speeds using PC Pitstop.  SpeedTest.Net, on the other hand, shows 300 to 400 kbps download speed.

At first glance, you may say that the Speedtest.Net is showing normal speed as advertised.  However, you have to know that with SpeedTest.Net, you are testing your connection from your local area to a PLDT network server somewhere in Makati.

This is misleading.  PLDT representatives (and other ISP reps)  *might* tell you that surfing domestic sites (sites hosted on Philippine servers) should be fine and surfing international sites is expected to be less than the advertised DSL speed since these sites are geographically farther.  This is hogwash.  About 98% of web sites are hosted internationally (mostly in the United States).  OK, 98% is just a guess but you get the point - there just aren’t that many sites hosted in the Philippines.  So, when you subscribe for an Internet connection, you are planning to visit international sites!
