iPhone Fever

It seems like a lifetime since I have been waiting for my iPhone to arrive. I hope that it will reach my hands by this month because this is a very special month. Today, I was feeling a little testy after waiting such a long time that I went to Flickr to look at photos of OTHER PEOPLE’S iPhone. Urghhh!!!

I actually wanted to view photos taken with the iPhone and not photos OF the iPhone but I could not find any. I’m not happy with the image quality of my Nokia E61i but then people tell me not to expect too much from a camera phone. They said that if I want a camera, go get a camera! Let me test out the iPhone’s camera first!!!

When I was browsing through Flickr, I came across this iPhone desktop wallpaper which was shared by a member. I have forgotten who but I grabbed it. See, iPhone Fever here :(

Seek Early Help In Addictions

A friend of mine was addicted to painkilllers at one point of his life. We understand what he went through and his irrational fear that he would die of pain if he did not pop a couple of painkillers into himself every couple of hours. Sometimes, he just did not realize it but keep eating more and more painkillers.

When he did realize it, he tried to throw them away only to succumb to his craving a short while later. Painkillers are so easily bought over the counter that it was not easy stopping him or helping him cure his addiction.

Someone then recommended that he go for a detoxification program to help clear him of this addiction from his mind and body. People say that the addiction starts from the mind and in my friend’s case, it was true. If he did not have the security of painkillers, he will think that he would suffer from tremendous pain.

However, the good news is that by using combined conventional and alternative treatment options, he managed to stay clean from painkillers. Although an addiction to painkillers is generally not as harmful as an addiction to drugs or alcohol, it is still an abuse which could damage his organs.

The treatment was very effective and we were amazed that he managed to kick the bad habit in such a short time. We wished that we had recognized his addiction sooner and sought help for him earlier.

Unwelcome Blog Reader

This morning, I checked my blog statistics and I noticed that someone from one of the search engines coming to my blog to read. I tell you, even if my blog does not have a reader at all, not even one, I would not welcome this reader at all. All I can think of that he or she is a spy. This person who works at a company that also sends out BOTS to index our posts shares the same IP address as the BOTs is a human and not a bot.

My friend told me not to fret but I can’t help it, not after what happened to my blogs a couple of weeks ago. I am very protective of them ahaha… and I can’t help wondering what happens if my blogs get de-indexed.

I know my fear is irrational but I can’t help myself. Call me negative minded or whatever, I just don’t have a good feeling about it. Well, what to do? We’ll cross that bridge when it comes.

Check Out The Online Teak Furniture Store

This morning, while I was just randomly surfing the internet looking for garden furniture, I came across this site Teak Wood Patio Furniture, that specializes in teak garden furniture. Actually, I never intended to get teak furniture for my garden because I have the impression that these are expensive items that only luxurious homes get to have.

However, now that I am introduced to them, I don’t think that they are too expensive. If you check out the designs and factor in the durability of teak wood, I am sure you would also think that they are very reasonably priced.

I think that teak benches would be a great addition to my garden, although I think that with these teak benches, the furniture would look mismatched but then if my parents love these then I may change all the garden furniture to teak wood. Then everything would look perfect.

And when I do have this perfect garden finally, I believe that I would throw garden parties every weekend!

Get Comfy With Proper Computer Furniture

I am sure that all of us internet junkies are spending way too m much time online. DO you have proper furniture for your computer? A friend of mine only lately bought computer furniture that included a desk and office chair. She says that now she is drawing so much money online, she should set up a mini office at home.

Actually, I have always had a small working corner for myself even during school days. I remember my parents spending a considerable amount of money buying school computer furniture for each of us. With three children, that is not a joke but they wanted us to have a proper work place. Now that I am an adult, I still have a corner in my room for serious work, thanks to my upbringing.

If you do not have a work corner at home, then you should set it up. I guarantee that you will be more productive with your work.

EarthFrisk – Social Bookmarking, Networking & Media Hub

Have you heard of EarthFrisk yet? If you haven’t, then you just have to check out this new global social bookmarking, social networking and social media portal. It’s a feature rich site where we get to meet people who may share our interest.

To drive membership count and activities, EarthFrisk is currently running a fabulous contest where there will be cash and other great prizes up for grabs. I am not going to let you know what you will stand to win but I will just say that to win that four-digit cash prize is not that difficult. Head over to the CONTEST page to read and participate! Oh yes, don’t worry, participation in these contests is free. What you need to win is just a little time and “work”.

EarthFrisk also provides widgets where you can place on your website or blog so that your readers get to share the on-goings of the EarthFrisk community. The difference between EarthFrisk widgets and widgets from other sites is that we could create our very own widget with our own sources.

What I am going to do is to create one that features new posts from all my blogs. That would be great for cross promoting my blogs. You too should take advantage of this great feature!

WordPress Upgraded to 2.3.1 Finally

So I finally upgraded my WordPress and and so happy that I am finally up-to-date. Yay. What I am most happy about it is that I did all four WordPress blogs by myself and they did not give me a problem at all. The new WordPress is so wonderful in the sense that it let us know which plug-in has an upgraded version so that we don not have to go to each author site to check. That would be ultra tedious, wouldn’t it?

But seriously, after upgrading to the latest version that is supposed to thwart those wayward bugs and close some loopholes, I don’t see anything different. At least, I can’t see with the naked eye.

Oh yeah, which Akismet was deactivated during the upgrade, two spam mail hit my inbox. Sigh!!!
