As promised, here are the pictures from our wonderful mini-holiday in Hof Gorei Resort. Made it into a slideshow so I won’t have any problems uploading the photos. Friendster Blogs is very limiting kasi. Anyway, if you’d like to view one photo at a time, click here. Enjoy! =)
I’ve been always fascinated with how websites work. When I was still in second year college, I made a “love” website from scratch (html), complete with several pages and animation. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, partly because I had no server problems and other technical difficulties. My site was hosted on Geocities (when it was not yet acquired by Yahoo) and it was good. In the process of making a website, I also learned about servers and how crucial they are to the success of your site. Apparently, right now, the best server according to users and professionals is the IBM iSeries eServer. This is actually a line/series that include several compatible hardware and software. However, as with all good things, a brand new combo is super expensive! But there are resellers of refurbished eServer products which are way cheaper. Performance Data Resources (PDR) is one of the resellers and aside from selling, they also offer assistance with issues ranging from simple device address & cabling problems to complex system tuning & troubleshooting assistance. Mmm nice, that’s what you call quality service!
Last time, I blogged about the "hardship" of choosing an engagement ring. Apparently, the "hardship" doesn’t stop there coz you need to choose a wedding ring too! I thought all wedding rings are just plain gold jewelry bands, such that you don’t really need to choose coz they’re all the same. Well, as always, when it’s about jewelry, I was dead wrong. Wedding bands these days are not just plain gold rings! There are so much types and styles to choose from as you can see in the photo below. I’m really having a hard time deciding so maybe I’ll just let Labsie decide. I’m sure he’s got good taste, hehe! So what will it be labs? Gold, silver or platinum? =)

Many of the popular websites these days are online casinos; whether you like to play poker, bingo, blackjack, slots, roulette, or craps, name it – online casinos have it! Why go to Vegas when you can play all you want in online casinos from the comforts of your own home? The only problem is finding a trustworthy online casino with the best odds for players. According to an online casino reviews website, there are more than 3000 online casinos right now! Can you imagine filtering through 3000 sites just to find the best online casino for you?? Hard work man! But don’t fret, Pro360.com is here to save the day! This website has been reviewing online casinos since 1997 and they provide you with a detailed review of factors like game experience, trust score and bonuses offered by each casino. Now, you can start playing without worrying if this (or that) online casino really pays. Just remember, only lose what you can afford!
Tomorrow, I’ll be going to Makati with my youngest bro. My parents and my other brother have been living there for about a year now, and it’s our first time to "visit" them. Happy! =) My only concern is the lack of internet connection in their place. How am I gonna do my online work?? Wahh! $$$ down the drain, tsk tsk! But despite the possible income loss, I’m excited to tour Luzon once again! Last time I was there was after my college graduation, about 5 years ago. Too long! If you wanna stay updated with my adventures, go to http://melissasolito.blogspot.com {yes, it’s ME!}. Even without internet, I can blog there through my SE k800i phone. I’ll try to post pictures there everyday =)

I may sound ignorant, but to be honest, this is the first time I’ve encountered a law named as silly as this, lol! I’m not a car buyer so maybe that’s the reason why I haven’t heard of lemon law before. Anyway, now that I’ve heard of it, I’ll share with you guys what it’s all about. According to Wikipedia (my ultimate source of knowledge these days, lol), lemon laws are United States state laws that give remedies to consumers for cars that repeatedly fail to meet certain standards of quality and performance. These niche market cars are called lemons. The federal lemon law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) protects citizens of all states while state lemon laws vary by state and may not necessarily cover used or leased cars. Lemon law is just the common nickname for these laws, and each state has different [official] names for their own laws. Hmm, I wonder if we have this kind of law in our corner of the world..
Guess what is that above! Nope,
it’s not a crab, which was my first guess too. Hehe! According to the
styrofoam label (partly seen on top), its name is Kuratsa.
Unfortunately for me, I didn’t encounter Kuratsa or Curacha during my
BS Biology years. Maybe I’d know what it is if its scientific name is
given, lol! 
Anyway I saw this in NCCC supermarket a few days ago with Mama
and Labsie- both also didn’t know what it is. Do you know what Kuratsa
is? Do help ignorant lil me! Hehe!Ü
Ever wondered how awesome events and shows are put up? It involves a humungous amount of coordination between getting the right talents, having the perfect stage design, making sure all technical details are ironed out, etc, etc. If you’ve been to a great Cisco party, show or corporate event, most likely it has been planned by the amazing Innovative Entertainment event experts. This company has been the foremost San Francisco event planning group since 1983. The company specializes in procuring and producing talent for special events, as well as exclusively representing some of the most popular entertainers in showbiz. From planning events in Cisco, Innovative Entertainment had already invaded the rest of the USA, and has expanded to producing shows in Canada, Europe, Asia, Mexico, Australia, The Caribbean, etc. World-class as they say! So, if you’re organizing an event, whether it be a private or a public one, please drop by Innovative Entertainment first. They might be able to make your event-dreams come true =)
