CASHLESS SOCIETY is here!



One morning, when i woke up, I turned on the television, cause it's my daily routine to see what's on. As I scanned the channels, I ended up in a show wherein the topic is all about the situation of the world regarding matters that includes money, and it is compared and situated in the bible. The narrator states that nowadays, the world is now getting very very near to a situation for what she calls cashless society. Maybe you're trying to figure out what it is.. Well, cashless society, as stated by the TV show narrator, it is the state of a society wherein money (as in the paper money) will not be used frequently or not to be used completely (in the future). Instead, we use smart cards such as credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of smart cards for us to fulfill or make an exchange of goods and services (buying and selling).
But why is it on the controversy? Why is it discussed? Is this technology an advantage or a disadvantage to the society?
Yes! It is portable, easy to use and very convenient. But, take note.. there's nothing in the world that has a complete and excellent quality.
The narrator stated that using this smart card rather than real cash is not a real good thing for which privacy is taken from an individual owning a certain smart card.
How? When you acquired a smart card, you then have an account in the bank or institution or company or whatsoever. The bottom line is.. the computer system is controlled by a person, obviously, for which he/she has the key or the authority to check or watch over your account. Get it? (I'm not discouraging people in acquiring such card, I'm just discussing what I've seen on that TV show)
Or.. your account could be hacked and then hackers can manage themselves to your account, or let's say your money can be stolen! Ain't cool, right?
In other countries, National ID system is used for protection against terrorism. These IDs' are still smart cards. As what I've said.. "Privacy"
As discussed and situated in the bible, in the book of revelations, stated that there will come a time that all who can only buy and sell goods are those who just have the number 666. Scary?
It means that there will come a time that the anti-Christ is in control of all of us, that we do not have that "privacy" anymore.
As I understood, it means that as the world's technology even got powerful, the more we will be more-believer in things rather than God. Get it?
We are diverted in a world wherein such things might take over the control and authority over us!

Let us keep the balance over things around us and let God be first in our way! =)

SEPTICal Fury (Part II - Final chapter): A napkin that costs 6000 Philippine Peso

Finally, we have contacted the guys that will fix the problem regarding the septic tank. Blah blah blah.. enough with the intro..
They started making a hole in our kitchen floor (the septic tank is located there). After a few hours, an arousing smell came out! Wow! the hole was built, at last! Then, inspection was initiated. They found out that it was not an overflow! Thank God! Then, they cleaned the pipes connecting the bowl and floor drain to the tank. And kaboom! they got it! the thing that clogged the pipe! Surprisingly, it was a piece of napkin that was trapped for a long time and finally gave in. That's not all, there were garbages along! At that time, I was so furious that I could rip off the face of the person who did that! Luckily, she's not staying anymore in our boarding house or else!
After the clog was removed, the shits were flushed totally and put back to the place where they really belong.
Whew! one problem down!
But we were broke! pocket broke! We spent approximately 6000 Philippine Peso!
But at least the shits have finally get over with my life! Our life! (Sighs)
That's all..
End of story..
LOL =)

SEPTICal Fury (Part I): Revenge of the powerful mud

It was a very beautiful day! I woke up with the sunlight smiling in my face. Flowers are blooming and so am I. Then suddenly one of the boarders living downstairs called me down. She said there was water coming out from the other room. Then I get down immediately for check up. As I unlock the door, Yes, I see the water, and I said to myself, no doubt, it is just a leak from one of the faucets in the bathroom inside the room. As I open the door, well, to my surprise, there were mud all over the place! I really have no idea what it is. But by the time I opened the bathroom door, all of the bad words came out from my mouth! Hell, there are shits all over the bathroom! As I said, at first, I don't know what it is, so I just stepped over the mud. Yucks! So disgusting! I just then realized that the septic tank was full that's why it overflowed. Men, I don't know what to do! I informed my mother about what happened. We were troubled, so badly! Getting rid of those mess costs a lot of money.
Men, I tell you.. This thing that happened to us, it is worse than a heartbreak!
I took a picture of it but I don't think I'll post it in this blog directly, I'll just put it in a link.. If you want to see it, just click this link below..

Drug addiction and Alcoholism rehab program


We all know what drug is, specifically illegal, and also alcohol. This is also one of the main problems of the society for which it does not only give crime a big boost but also a big hazard in the human body, different illnesses will take over.
But does anybody think that it is hopeless to discard this kind of situation a man have in his/her life? Is it hard to loose from such addictions?
There’s a way!
They can bring back your normal, happy, and healthy life!
A different kind of Drug and Alcohol Recovery Center in Texas!
It is the Texas Drug and Alcohol Rehab Program and Recovery Center – Relapse Prevention. The Mark Houston Drug and Alcohol Recovery Center offers that hope. Their unique rehab program, which combines the elements of a longer length of stay (90 days), a gender specific (males only) environment, 4 ranch-style residential homes set on 70 beautiful acres, and a staff that models recovery at the highest levels, can be your chance for a life of permanent sobriety. They believe that alcoholics and drug addicts can be taught how to live a sober, responsible life that is characterized by permanent sobriety, self respect and authenticity.
Through healthy exercise and proper diet, the regain of strength in the body will be at its fast trend of improvement, you will learn how to create energy from the inside out rather than take it from other sources like drugs, alcohol, anger, and control. You will
learn life skills such as financial sanity, nutrition, and disciplined meditation that lead to a permanent sense of inner peace.
The rehab program is definitely designed to bring the total transformation that is so necessary to permanent recovery and relapse prevention. And though the program length is 90 days (three times that of the standard program), the program just costs as comparable as to most programs which are enclosed within 30 days in length.
It includes the 12 step program, by far the most widely effective methodology used in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Texas and throughout the United States.
This program brings not only recovery from physical contamination but also brings the patient closer to God and understanding about the essence of life.
So, if you have a love one who is engaged with such problem, or even you, who is at the darkest moment of your life, the Mark Houston Drug and Alcohol Recovery Center’s door is open for you! And is just a phone call away! Just dial. 866-905-4550


Change for your family, friends, society, yourself, and especially to God!

Cheapest way to make a tattoo of your own!



Tattooing, it's the method of decorating the skin by inserting different colored substances under the surface. The skin is actually punctured with a sharp instrument, which now is usually called an electric needle.
Having a tattoo is a cool thing, especially for those who really admire art. But for others, they consider it as a trash. I, sometimes have a thought about it. Sometimes it's kinda messy to look at, but most of the time, for me, (hehe) it's a total rock on!
Most of the tattoo are permanently installed, can't be removed! You have to rip off your skin first so that you could erase the drawing! Kinda challenging, ayt?! A "saw" movie wanna be! lol..
But those who really love tattoos, and want to wear in temporarily, there's a way you freakos'..
Henna tattooing is the answer! But on second thought, it's kinda expensive for others.
But don't you worry ladies and gentlemen! I will share to you my secret ingredient in making the cheapest yet effective tattoo ink (ever!) in history!
All you have to do is buy a blackening shampoo (powdered form), and a calamansi! There you go! Thats all you need. Next is, eat the shampoo and insert the calamansi on your nose! Then run like an idiot, and lastly go to the hospital and dance the papaya! haha. lol.. Joke!
Put some shampoo powder on a little empty container and then put some droplets of the calamansi's juice, then mix it. Your done!
Apply desired drawing to your skin using a clean stick. I prefer to use a toothpick or an empty pen for accurate measurement of the image.
(note: it'll stay for more than a week)
I guarantee you, it's the cheapest yet the coolest!
here's my own work (see images below)

Earth day: Death day estimation



Nowadays, the increase in improvement over technology is seated under a very fast trend. More factories have been built, production of different materials undergo 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week period, food processes and everything, everything we use for everyday life.
But does these fascinating building process of everything makes our world better? Does it imply better outcomes when our environment is the one involved? Haven't think of it?
Today, the world is in phase of a near-critical situation. Every time counts, the level of hazard also increases. This hazard what I am talking about is the Global warming.
Global warming is the condition of the earth wherein too much heat is incapable to release itself towards outside the earth's atmosphere. This phenomena is much more like the green house effect. How does it happen? It is simply because of too much production or release of Carbon dioxide. The number one cause is pollution, the the destruction of natural resources/ surroundings which causes pollution to become more irresistible (because the nature is the one responsible in maintaining the normal condition of the earth, filtering the pollution)
Now, this too much heat or what we call Global warming is causing the artics to melt down and thus causing the water/sea level to increase. If this will continue, surely large areas of different continents will be covered with water. Imagine that?! And another thing, this condition will also bring storms, much stronger storms and typhoons that will lead to different illnesses among people, due to sudden change of climate. Scientists also stated that Ice Age will possibly be happening again.
Now, it is hard to handle a situation wherein the mother nature gets mad, right? Because it is not all about political issues, it's all about moral issues! Our ability to live on the planet earth is what is at stake! (courtesy of "An inconvenient truth" documentary film)
We should act now to save our planet, and the future!
Environment first!
