Astrologers suggesting it, thus favoring Ophiuchus to rule as the 13th sign has basis or thesis to support it, based on the movement of the Earth nowadays in the constellation of stars.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A</span></i></b>lthough some or most of the astrologers do not accept the whole idea about Ophiuchus. But some people believes in the new idea, including me, about Ophiuchus as the 13th zodiac sign. Some even suggests that the application of Ophiuchus, as the 13th zodiac sign, is prospective. Meaning, for year 2010 and below, people born under the twelve (12) zodiac signs, their zodiac remains the same. For year 2011 and above, people born under, Ophiuchus, as the 13th zodiac sign, and the readings and forecast under it, applies prospectively. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">A</span></b></i>s of now, I haven't seen any readings or forecast for Ophiuchus in horoscope section of major news papers and magazines.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">B</span></b></i>ecause of Ophiuchus phenomenon or rumors, I wondered who is Ophiuchus anyway? Why he is entitled to the 13th post of the zodiac signs? Why his name was put on the constellations of stars? Because of these questions, I made some research of story about him and his origin in the constellation of star, which is worth sharing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A</span></b></i>nd the story begins...

Thus every one will do anything to protect his/her hair. I will give you a simple and practical but effective tips/ways on how to protect your hair and thus will prevent hair loss, hair fall or hair damage making your crowning glory intact and healthy.<br />
<br />
There are a lots of hair care products, ranging from shampoos, and salons treatments, out in the market that promises to protect our hair to make it healthy, shiny and fabulous. But shampoo is the number one factor that causes hair fall, hair loss, or the wrong uses, or application thereof that develops, as we age, to baldness.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So let's go first what causes hair fall, hair loss or hair damage, though need not be thoroughly discussed. To some people what causes their hair fall, hair loss, or even baldness are their genes inherited from their predecessors, but to some are their shampoos or they tend to over do hair care regimen or hair treatments that they are under going. Also stress and unhealthy environment not to mention if the person is under going therapy such as chemo therapy, or even our daily routine while we are taking our bath contributes to hair loss, hair fall or baldness. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you notice to some men the part of their head that is prone to baldness, hair loss or hair fall, is in their front head or the hair above their fore head, while to women is on their top of the head, that's where hair fall, hair loss or a bit baldness in women is more visible and noticeable.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So what should we do to protect our hair thus preventing hair loss, hair fall or baldness. I am giving you my simple and practical tips that are effective, inexpensive and the most important one is can be done everyday, since every day we are taking our bath/s, so here they are:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. This No. 1 tip is the most effective, simple and practical way of preventing hair fall, hair loss or baldness though your discipline is involve the way how you apply your shampoo. Whatever your shampoo claims, either it prevents hair loss, their contents are from natural sources, etc., etc., avoid applying directly your shampoo to your scalp or head. Men tends to directly apply their shampoo to the hair above their fore head, which is the part men usually suffer baldness and to women they tend to directly apply their shampoo to their top head, which is the area of the hair they are prone to hair loss, hair fall or baldness. The simple reason is that shampoos has chemical ingredients, if you directly apply the shampoo it surely has chemical reactions to our scalp , weakening the hair follicles and hair strands, and thus causing hair loss, hair fall or baldness. Either your shampoo's is made with natural ingredients or 100% made from natural sources still their ingredients reacts to our scalps. Specially those anti-dandruff shampoo its chemical ingredients or contents are higher. So just place enough shampoo (according to your need) to your dippershower cup <i>(tabo, ayan ha, alam mo na english ng tabo) </i>with little water, shake for a seconds to neutralize the chemicals of shampoo, to generate bubbles, and then apply it to your hair. So simple isn't it, but sure effective way to prevent and minimize hair loss, hair fall and baldness later on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. To women, if they have long hair and if you don't want to follow the No. 1 tip, try to apply your shampoo, from the tips to the roots of your hair. But don't forget to concentrate more on the roots of your hair or on your sclap as it is where the nutrients is absorbed for a healthy hair.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. Avoid over doing saloon's hair treatments, specially those that are damaging to your hair like putting to much chemicals for hair straightening, or for hair color or too much hair ironing.Do it occasionally or rarely </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Take some vitamins that are good for your hair and scalp. Common vitamin for hair is Vit.A, and E, or take multi-vitamins so that your body will have a daily doze of vitamins and nutrients it needs.<br />
<br />
5. Massage your scalp for 5 to 10 minutes, every day or during night time, it increases blood circulation in your head thus it promotes the flows of blood that carries nutrients that your hair needs. Better if you have comb or hair-brush specially made to massage the scalp or the head which in the same way, it also relaxes the head. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. Avoid stress, smoking and unhealthy environments.<br />
<br />

With so much enthusiasm from gamers with the new episode hoping that it will surpassed their expectations when it launched the Episode TRANSCENDENTAL or REBIRTH, but it didn't. There are changes implemented claiming that it will be more favorable to gamers but the truth is it didn't worked, worst it go against with their claim and brought only frustration to gamers (old and new) and to those who can't renew because of bugs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A comparison between the two episodes, 1. Transcendental Class Rebirth Episode and 2. Renewal Episode, are worth to recognize of since they are both pertaining to changing of characters in connection with its successful episode launched, and response came from the players.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. The former pertains to being Rebirth and the Latter pertains to being Renewed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. In the launching of Transcendental Episode it was timely, planned and no bugs. While the Episode XXII was a hurried launched, with bugs, even if it was tested on another server.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. The whole day of Rebirth Launching was extraordinary with a 10,000+ players being online, while Renewal Launching was, well, only few made the Renewal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Bugs, errors and complaints was less in Rebirth Episode than to Renewal Episode.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. The Transcendental Episode, honestly, I must say, a successful episode launched, while the latter was even below with the former.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After Rebirth Characters here comes the Renewed Characters, no comparison can be made with its characters since after rebirthing the characters it was renewed upgrading the characters to even more higher status, with its new skills, well that's a good side players can look for.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A mistake implemented on Renewal Episode was that the monsters XP was lowered! It should have been higher. With the lower XP obtained from different monsters how could it will benefit the gplayers since it would only slow their leveling, making the game slow, and tiring for new and beginners . It should have been higher tripling the required experience to level up. One can easily notice that the Maximum Level of 99 with its required EXP was only subdivided for 150 Level Base Cap. Making the monsters easily killed, lowering the experiences you get from them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Renewal Quest Bugs was also a major major frustration. But of course there are good sides from Renewal Episode, with Higher Character Status, stronger skills, good game user-interface. etc, is something playerss can enjoy. Since I grow up from this game, I would love it no matter what. It is the game that relives the youth inside of my aging human existence. I Still live on and ROK On!!!</div>Yanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068821249123362086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782348999945913825.post-18372716394696044482010-06-30T01:34:00.000-07:002010-06-30T02:31:20.844-07:00Beware You Might Be Suffering From Allergy From Shampoo And Deodorant You're Using.<div style="text-align: justify;">Just as you think you won't get an allergy from the shampoo and roll-on deodorant you are using. Well, think again and consider this before it get worse. First, I would like to remind and warn you that I have written this article without any intention of damaging or ruining any products credibility nor I have been paid just to write some creepy article against about the products I am writing about. This article is based on my personal experience from using this two products. I am sharing my experience to you so that you will be guided or before thing gets worse, such I am writing this in good faith.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The products that I talking about is "CLEAR" shampoo and "REXONA" roll-on deodorant. Of course the manufacturer of these products made sure that the said products had under gone dermatological testing for safety reason. But I can say that the side effects differs to individuals. As such, other might developed an allergy while constantly using the two products, while others probably do not any problem using it. And Probably they are not aware that some of the chemical ingredients of the said products cause some allergy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_r4VCmHKvG041ktd3OJBCu6SalXIrYZipqOFHbFfAl1jqcmlvJBd52TiKmbYbCPk4cGd2rcLfEvy2lxmH-3WclGG_KEeKpp0j8i_GR2EkNBbWlMdA8BsgbUVvW7tvHY2UqFpAXmu_NBA/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_r4VCmHKvG041ktd3OJBCu6SalXIrYZipqOFHbFfAl1jqcmlvJBd52TiKmbYbCPk4cGd2rcLfEvy2lxmH-3WclGG_KEeKpp0j8i_GR2EkNBbWlMdA8BsgbUVvW7tvHY2UqFpAXmu_NBA/s320/images.jpg" /></a>To begin with, "CLEAR" Shampoo staged its marketing strategy by massively flooding the television networks of its advertisement, of course to entice consumers. Well, I am one of them believing the potentials of this product in fighting against dandruff and in maintaining a healthy hair. To be Specific, I used "CLEAR" Shampoo for men. Without a doubt the said shampoo works well, smells good and the price is at par with other shampoo in the market. Well, I used it for a almost a year. But then as I continue using it, I noticed that my face was sort of reddish, well not totally red but quite red. My face develops some blisters, and scaly skin in a circle form. My face turns dry and prone to skin termites. I wonder why is that so and where did I get it. At first I really don't know where did I get it. My friends and classmates noticed that conditions in my face. So I tell them I really don't know where it came from. It get worse as I continue using the said shampoo. I've try another shampoo for days and my face returns normal. At that time I did not know the culprit why I have blister, scaly and quite reddish face. Then I used again "CLEAR" Shampoo, and my face had its nightmare again. I did not consult to a dermatologist why I am experiencing it because I know my face was just fine and normal back then. Then I realized that it was my shampoo. The "CLEAR" shampoo that I am using was the cause of all this problem I have in my face. One time, while I am talking to my classmate, she noticed that my face returned to normal, without scaly, reddish, and blisters, and it was just great. I told her that, "I am having an allergy because of "CLEAR" Shampoo". She told me that she was having a problem also whenever she use that shampoo. And so end of my nightmare with my reddish, and scaly face. Now I am using other shampoo brand and I am not developing any allergy to it. May be there was a chemical content that is so strong in the "CLEAR" Shampoo. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmmgLPKyrGJo6ipziYqA6k7N501y_uPLJU8qRG7BZ7FxXlTU7d_bxPsLiYo6hn61I3KiuLn0ye-4EOj_USHioi9_ArJ7ejpsCZcvo7Z5qylv8WUhtvnZzx1qhvnYP29HDeUICcJxvPrmM/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmmgLPKyrGJo6ipziYqA6k7N501y_uPLJU8qRG7BZ7FxXlTU7d_bxPsLiYo6hn61I3KiuLn0ye-4EOj_USHioi9_ArJ7ejpsCZcvo7Z5qylv8WUhtvnZzx1qhvnYP29HDeUICcJxvPrmM/s320/images.jpg" /></a>My experience with "REXONA" roll-on deodorant was that I have developed "Allergic Rhinitis". Well honestly I was captivated by the smell of this deodorant. Oh, by the way it was deodorant for men. The smell was sort of so manly and I would say quite sort of , if the girl smells it she would be under your spell, captivating. As I continue using it, there I have developed "Allergic Rhinitis", because of it smells. In its advertising campaign it says there that "REXONA, wont let you down" but I would say it let me down by developing allergic rhinitis. At the back of my mind, there was disappointment on my part because I love the smell. It's just that the smell makes me sneeze every time I smell it, and by having it I become more prone to some dust particles that triggers my allergy. May be it was because of it's strong smell.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another thing to share with you is that may be you wonder some time you got some sore-throat and/or mouth ulcer. Well, take note may be it was because you've change your tooth paste. I have that problem every time I am using different brand of my tooth paste. So observe your tooth paste and when changing the same.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hope you've learn something from my experience. When buying a product reads first its labels it might have a content that you are allergic to it. We should only use products that are mild and gentle to our health to prevent some health problem, and if any unusual happens from using a product please consult your Doctor...<br />

Just as they think that they cannot use their Smart Money Card as a source of fund to their PayPal account, well, I tell you they are wrong. The truth is you can. In fact, if you used it in verifying your PayPal account there is no reason why you can't use it as source of fund for your PayPal account because it is basically a Master Card, a Debit Card. Yes!, you can use it, as a source of fund, just like a credit card, but in a much safer way.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, you must have a Smart Money Card linked to your Mobile Phone. I recommend to you to read my previous post on how to verify your PayPal account using Smartmoney Card. For<span style="color: blue;"> </span><strike><span style="color: blue;"><b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1029150623">complete details on how to verify your PayPal account using Smart Money Card, just click the link</a></b></span></strike><a href="http://justasyouthink.blogspot.com/2010/06/verifying-your-paypal-account-using.html"><span style="color: blue;"> </span> </a>After your PayPal account was verified using Smart Money Card, you can even used it right away as a source or means of funding your PayPal account, and start right away purchasing or making payment online.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9u_d3_6E6QVcmISSJUHGYQZjlRiBeAuUxS0dd_HRRtDBTZ9CY_harr92Fc3FaP_i1TOe83SnP-ImRJqpgZk4KLRMbrWlNUzuxvJDFmh2FGlZTApottEuzRag8tQarLoA0lJXSeou7yU/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9u_d3_6E6QVcmISSJUHGYQZjlRiBeAuUxS0dd_HRRtDBTZ9CY_harr92Fc3FaP_i1TOe83SnP-ImRJqpgZk4KLRMbrWlNUzuxvJDFmh2FGlZTApottEuzRag8tQarLoA0lJXSeou7yU/s320/images.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can use Smart Money card as a means of funding your PayPal account because it bears the "MASTER CARD" logo. By the fact that PayPal accepted it as a method of verifying your account. PayPal also allows you to use Smart Money Card to fund your account. Smart Money card is connected to a bank, BANCO DE ORO,, "BDO" so currency conversion, online or international transactions is possible. The money inside the card is safely place in one of the BDO special account made specially for SMART, Smart Money card holders. As such, it works like a credit card, but I can say in a much safer way than a credit card and without having to worry about over debiting the cash or money inside the card just like no overdrafts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, here's how. If you are shopping, or making purchases or paying for a product or items online make sure that Smart Money card is fully activated and linked to your mobile phone and with enough funds. Just make some estimate of your Peso converted into dollar, when paying. Get your phone ready. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Make sure your Smart Money Card has enough “<b>FUNDS</b>”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. When making payment or purchases online, of course, the store or sellers should use PayPal as their payment processor. So the store or seller will prompt you to enter your PayPal address.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. When your about to confirm "<b>PAYING</b>" inside PayPal site, go to your mobile or cellphone, then go to <b>SMART MENU</b>, look for Smart Money sub-menu.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. On the Sub-Menu, look for "<b>INTERNET</b>" option.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. On the <b>INTERNET </b>option, look for the "<b>UNLOCK</b>" and press <b>OK</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. Upon pressing <b>"OK"</b>, and prompted to enter your <b>"PIN CODE"</b>, by the time you entered it and send it, proceed to No. 7 immediately.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">7. Take note, upon sending the message, you should press or select on your PayPal confirming that you are paying the item or products, "<b>JUST IN A SPAN of 3 to 5 SECONDS</b>".<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=just092-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002VPE1B6&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When the payment is successfully made, you will receive a message with the tenor of, "Approval of Php1,200.00 payment to Merchant X". Don't worry with conversion, even though your money is in Peso, BDO will convert your money into dollar. If the payment is not successful, you will receive a message saying that your Smart Money is lock for internet purchases or do not have enough money. So what you must do is repeat steps 1 to 7 mentioned above. Please take note that the step no.7 is crucial, as it is where it lies your successful payment or purchases online, or you should deposit more money into the card. The unlocking of your Smart Money for internet transactions and confirming the payment on your PayPal account should be made within the span of seconds mentioned above. Otherwise, your PayPal payment will be declined.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, basically that's it. You can now fund your PayPal using your Smart Money Card. Well, it is not likely that the money in your Smart Money card stays in your PayPal account or you cannot just have your money be converted into dollar and just leave it there into your PayPal account. That won't be possible. When I say, you can use your Smart Money as a means or source of money to fund your PayPal account it is just to use your card that is linked to your PayPal account for making purchases or payment online. So no money stays in your PayPal account. If the payment was cancelled or opted the "return payment" offered by the store or seller, you won't see the money in your PayPal account. PayPal will process it and return it to BDO and BDO will re-credit it to your Smart Money Card. Of course, it takes days to re-credit the amount to your Smart Money account. So don’t panic that if you check your Smart Money account the money is missing or the balance is not exact as your expected them to be. As I have said, it takes days to process and re-credit the money to your Smart Money card.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=just092-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002WYJFG2&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, the advantage of using Smart Money instead of a credit card is basically you don’t have to worry that the store or buyer or site will charge your card next month, or that they will charge just for nothing. That they cannot do that because the Smart Money card is in default “LOCKED”, even if you unlocked it because you used it by paying something online, after payment, the card will return automatically in a span of seconds from payment into “LOCKED” mode. So, no hassle, and you have nothing to worry for over and hidden charges, it is so safe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So I hope, I have given you all the details, and that you learned something new from me. So now, we don’t need credit card in our online transactions, by using Smart Money, simple, easy and safely.</div>Yanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068821249123362086noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782348999945913825.post-48085428840705575182010-06-23T01:42:00.000-07:002010-06-29T01:14:05.954-07:00Complete Details on How To Verify Your PayPal Account Using SmartMoney<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIo5mYpdKLIqkh92z-SBW_yi4YdZjFA2nnDVillE7Q7L9zy1ZbYZqQR8-2RKFbC2hiO6tmexhrt0SgvNNvdZX5iBn5tPflO0HnhcfdRrFwF-5TRgWH6oY701D0aZagBIV8ftLsr87jrC8/s1600/image2s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIo5mYpdKLIqkh92z-SBW_yi4YdZjFA2nnDVillE7Q7L9zy1ZbYZqQR8-2RKFbC2hiO6tmexhrt0SgvNNvdZX5iBn5tPflO0HnhcfdRrFwF-5TRgWH6oY701D0aZagBIV8ftLsr87jrC8/s320/image2s.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOGxFyCSrKh6V4ZKRPfFldn4WMIDrxcerTUOy_x5JFmvl-zT4qfygbxvv95zYDGPdhkxLqmSggD7tFpR8DFuWnwBVCMKhtlE6ZHWU3yCf7HEBKeCQLFEqGC5iBcVJUopSh6kTVxwuH_KI/s1600/smart-money-card2front-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOGxFyCSrKh6V4ZKRPfFldn4WMIDrxcerTUOy_x5JFmvl-zT4qfygbxvv95zYDGPdhkxLqmSggD7tFpR8DFuWnwBVCMKhtlE6ZHWU3yCf7HEBKeCQLFEqGC5iBcVJUopSh6kTVxwuH_KI/s200/smart-money-card2front-1.jpg" width="200" /></a>For those who still wonder how to get their paypal get verified, oh well, here comes the easy way. All you need to do is just to have and own a Smartmoney Debit Card issued by Smart. So what is this card all about? SMART MONEY is a re-loadable payment card that may either be accessed through a Smart mobile phone or a Smart Money MasterCard, similar to a debit/cash card. Smart Money enables Smart subscribers to manage their money from their mobile phones wherever they are, whenever they want. Smart Money is the world’s first electronic wallet card linked to a mobile phone which won the 2001 GSM Awards for “Most Innovative GSM Wireless Service for Customers”. It was also cited as the “Best Product Innovation” award at the MasterCard Marketing Awards in Australia. It has basically a MasterCard logo that's why you can use it to verify your paypal account.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Knowing that lets get the ball rolling. But before that if you haven't had yet a card, activated or download smartmoney features of your simcard follow these simple instructions. Of course, you need to be smart subscriber.</div><br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b>To Activate:</b></div><ol><li>Text MONEY to 343</li>
<li>Enter desired W-PIN (6-digits)</li>
<li>Re-enter W-PIN, press OK</li>
<li>Choose ‘Get Account’ press OK</li>
<li>Select BDO</li>
<li>Wait for your confirmation message...</li>
</ol><div style="text-align: justify;">After that, viola you have a smartmoney number that is link to your phone. After activating it, you must apply for the card. Go to smart website to apply, <strike><b><a href="https://secure.smart.com.ph/money/apply.aspx">just click here</a></b>.</strike> Take note you must have a card so that you can get the 4 digit number which is required by paypal as security. It takes 7 days for Metro Manila residents to get thier card and 20 days for provincial residents. At this point without a card, you can receive money at its maximum of Php50,000.00 but you can only send or transfer money just as Php1,000.00. So Beware, I have a hard time getting out my money because I dont have a card.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Once you gotten your card, you need to link or activate with your phone. Just go to Smartmenu of your simcard, scroll down for Smartmoney and have it activated and enter your smartmoney number correctly. And wait for a confirmation. After that, your simcard's smartmoney features are all activated. You can now send and transfer money to others who have smartmoney.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Oh I forgot, in order for you to have your paypal account verified using smartmoney card issued by smart, the number should start at 5299-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Otherwise you can't do the verification procedures. But do not worry. If your simcard is new, probably you can download smartmoney number that's start with 5299.<br />

My second chance was that I need to start a new with my blogging adventures. Not because I did my previous years bad, but because I wasn't able to do it with so much time. I had been too much busy with my work and studies. But now I believe I have so much time to write and blog about everything I want.<br />
<br />
With this second chance, perhaps my goal would be to have a good blog and to have a good content. With the ultimate goal of having a long standing blog with a good page rank later on as I build its content. Probably monitizing it, but not so much of that. It would be sort of keeping everything on records. Expressing thoughts, ideas and views, everything just as blogger would think.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've learn from my reading was that to have a good blog, the secrets lies with its content.s A good contents. By having a god contents google would sort mark your site and later on presents it to searchers that matches what it wants. And of course, your topics would be something that is useful, meaty and easy to understant. In such way it would improve your page rank.Not so much with a high PR, but building its content along the way it would build it self. Now that is my second chance. At the same time, I am planning to write or blog about things as interesting or appealling to world. What I mean is that everything that would be useful to my readers.<br />

All you need to do is just to have and own a Smartmoney Debit Card issued by Smart. So what is this card all about? SMART MONEY is a re-loadable payment card that may either be accessed through a Smart mobile phone or a Smart Money MasterCard, similar to a debit/cash card. Smart Money enables Smart subscribers to manage their money from their mobile phones wherever they are, whenever they want. Smart Money is the world’s first electronic wallet card linked to a mobile phone which won the 2001 GSM Awards for “Most Innovative GSM Wireless Service for Customers”. It was also cited as the “Best Product Innovation” award at the MasterCard Marketing Awards in Australia. It has basically a MasterCard logo that's why you can use it to verify your paypal account.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Knowing that lets get the ball rolling. But before that if you haven't had yet a card, activated or download smartmoney features of your simcard follow these simple instructions. Of course, you need to be smart subscriber.</div><br />
<b>To Activate:</b><br />
<ol><li>Text MONEY to 343</li>
<li>Enter desired W-PIN (6-digits)</li>
<li>Re-enter W-PIN, press OK</li>
<li>Choose ‘Get Account’ press OK</li>
<li>Select BDO</li>
<li>Wait for your confirmation message...</li>
</ol><div style="text-align: justify;">After that, viola you have a smartmoney number that is link to your phone. After activating it, you must apply for the card. Go to smart website to apply, <b><a href="https://secure.smart.com.ph/money/apply.aspx">just click here</a></b>. Take note you must have a card so that you can get the 4 digit number which is required by paypal as security. It takes 7 days for Metro Manila residents to get thier card and 20 days for provincial residents. At this point without a card, you can receive money at its maximum of Php50,000.00 but you can only send or transfer money just as Php1,000.00. So Beware, I have a hard time getting out my money because I dont have a card.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Once you gotten your card, you need to link or activate with your phone. Just go to Smartmenu of your simcard, scroll down for Smartmoney and have it activated and enter your smartmoney number correctly. And wait for a confirmation. After that, your simcard's smartmoney features are all activated. You can now send and transfer money to others who have smartmoney.</div><br />
Oh I forgot, in order for you to have your paypal account verified using smartmoney card issued by smart, the number should start at 5299-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Otherwise you can't do the verification procedures. But do not worry. If your simcard is new, probably you can download smartmoney number that's start with 5299.<br />
If you haven't read yet the first step in verifying paypal using SmartMoney, Please, <strike><a href="http://justasyouthink.blogspot.com/2010/06/verifying-your-paypal-account-using.html"><b style="color: blue;">Read here First</b></a>. </strike>Having the card, you need first to activate its online or internet features. Thus activated, it will enable you to make transactions online or thru internet. Do this by sending " <b>INTERNET </b>" to <b>343</b>. After that wait for the confirmation. Look for the Internet Menu in the Smartmoney, you will see three options; Unlock, and Lock are important there. By default your smartmoney card is locked for internet transactions. If you unlock, just by 5 or 10 seconds it gets locked. So it is secure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now let's get straight to the verification process. But first your Smartmoney Card should have a balance of atleast Php.200.00. To fund just go to the nearest Smart Wireless Center or to any Smartmoney Loading Centers nearest you.<br />

Perhaps that would apply to those who are in the financial arena like banks, investment houses, stocks market, loans, acquisition of financial institutions. That's the place where money war takes place.<br /><br />However it cannot be denied that even those who are not in the financial scene like those families who do not have enough money for their daily needs, money plays an important role on their part. You could even say that they will fight in the name of money for reasons and circumstances which only them who can determine their limits in game of money war.<br /><br />My point is, well I have to admit that money runs everything in this world, save those that are in the exemptions. People may die, but money won't die. People loss their dignity, but money won't. Play with money its lust would lure more and make it more valuable. Then its too late to realize that you have been deceived by money.<br /><br />Hope we realize, the danger of money. Although at some point money may sustain life, but it can may kill lives, and still it cannot revived lives it killed. As they said, " money is the root of evil ", but the power and value of money coule be more valuable and more meaningful if it is in the hands of those who resists its temptation.</div>Yanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068821249123362086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782348999945913825.post-85514824251240908642009-10-07T08:08:00.000-07:002009-10-08T06:59:08.887-07:00Views of Fashion Statement of a Sexy Lingerie<div style="text-align: justify;">Fashion statements <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">varies</span> accordingly depending on the mood of individual, or even on the occasion with the perfect timing.

Because the man refused to answer, a policeman pried the fist open and saw a plastic sachet filled with crystalline substance.

Then, in front of many shocked witnesses, he killed the person he was arguing with. The police came, and brought him to the nearest police station. Upon reaching the station, the police investigator, in halting English, informed William of his Miranda rights, and assigned him an independent local counsel. William refused the services of the lawyer, and insisted that he be assisted by a Filipino lawyer currently based in the U.S. The request was denied, and the counsel assigned by the police stayed for the duration of the investigation.<br /><br />William protested his arrest.<br /><br />[a] He argued that since the incident took place inside the U.S. embassy, Philippine courts have no jurisdiction because the U.S. embassy grounds are not part of Philippine territory; thus, technically, no crime under Philippine law was committed. Is William correct? Explain your answer.

Was William denied his Miranda rights? Why or why not?

The government of Asyaland does not support the terrorist group, but being a poor country, is powerless to stop it.<br /><br />The Emerald Brigade launched an attack on the Philippines, firing two missiles that killed thousands of Filipinos. It then warned that more attacks were forthcoming. Through diplomatic channels, the Philippines demanded that Asyaland stop the Emerald Brigade; otherwise, it will do whatever is necessary to defend itself.<br /><br />Receiving reliable intelligence reports of another imminent attack by the Emerald Brigade, and it appearing that Asyaland was incapable of preventing the assault, the Philippines sent a crack commando team to Asyaland. The team stayed only for a few hours in Asyaland, succeeded in killing the leaders and most of the members of the Emerald Brigade, then immediately returned to the Philippines.<br /><br />[a] Was the Philippine action justified under the international law principle of “self-defense”? Explain your answer. (3%)<br /><br />[b] As a consequence of the foregoing incident, Asyaland charges the Philippines with violation of Article 2.4 of the United Nations Charter that prohibits “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State.” The Philippines counters that its commando team neither took any territory nor interfered in the political processes of Asyaland. Which contention is correct? Reasons. (3%)<br /><br />[c] Assume that the commando team captured a member of the Emerald Brigade and brought him back to the Philippines. The Philippine Government insists that a special international tribunal should try the terrorist. On the other hand, the terrorist argues that terrorism is not an international crime and, therefore, the municipal laws of the Philippines, which recognize access of the accused to constitutional rights, should apply.

A loose organization of Filipinos, the Kabataan at Matatandang Makabansa (KMM) wrote the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Department of National Defense (DND) demanding disclosure of the details of the negotiations, as well as copies of the minutes of the meetings. The DFA and the DND refused, contending that premature disclosure of the offers and counter-offers between the parties could jeopardize on-going negotiations with another country.

Consequently, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) suspended the airing of KKK-TV programs. MTRCB declared that under P.D. 1986, it has the power of prior review over all television programs, except “newsreels” and programs “by the Government”, and the subject documentary does not fall under either of these two classes. The suspension order was ostensibly based on Memorandum Circular No. 98-17 which grants MTRCB the authority to issue such an order.<br /><br />KKK-TV filed a certiorari petition in court, raising the following issues:<br /><br />[a] The act of MTRCB constitutes “prior restraint” and violates the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression; (3%) and<br /><br />[b] While Memorandum Circular No. 98-17 was issued and published in a newspaper of general circulation, a copy thereof was never filed with the Office of the National Register of the University of the Philippines Law Center.

Administratively charged with immorality and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service, she admits her live-in arrangement, but maintains that this conjugal understanding is in conformity with their religious beliefs. As members of the religious sect, Yahweh’s Observers, they had executed a Declaration of Pledging Faithfulness which has been confirmed and blessed by their Council of Elders.

I love to listen to mellow, calming and soothing music. It’s like my mind has adopted its rhythm, and so I move and think slow. The positive effect on me was that I am emotionally and psychologically stable and matured. The negative of mellow music to me was that, my ability to think and my ability to reason was turns so slow. As during my class recitations my professors told me that I am so slow in answering the question. But for me seems like it was just normal. I ask my classmates if I was that really slow and they told me that I was really slow in answering the questions. I ask my self what makes me slow to think and reason out. Then I realize that its because of the type of the music that I love to hear every night. The slow beat or rhythm in the music was adopted by my brain and it acts according to the rhythm of the music, as a result my brain was so slow to process.<br /><br />Comparing to those who love to listen to rock or metallic music they are active and lively. They think fast, reason’s fast and move fast. It is because the faster beat of rock or metallic music was adopted by their brain, as a result they think, reason out and move fast. But the negative effect on them of fast beat music was that they are irritable without movements in their mind or in their surroundings, and they are emotionally and psychologically immature.<br /><br />I made a personal experiment. I listen to rock and faster music. And yes its true my ability to think and in reasoning improved its not so slow as compared before, and I’m getting to like rock and fast beat music because of that. But I make sure that there is balance between mellow and rock music.<br /><br />Another personal experiment I made was that, I’ve watched the visualization in the windows media player in my computer, it so happens that it moves fast, my eyes responds accordingly, and my brains also respond actively fast in accordance with the visualization effects. Its like in the matrix movie, when you need a new skills you just wear an eye glass and all the informations were shown in your eyes, and viola you got new skill. But the negative effect on me was that I tend to be irritable with out seeing any movement or thinking fast.<br /><br />The bottom line is there is music in our mind and body. That somehow played an important roles in our life, society, and culture.<br /></div>Yanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068821249123362086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782348999945913825.post-8669661581910112822009-07-20T07:53:00.000-07:002009-07-20T08:01:28.626-07:00Mind, Music and Body...<div style="text-align: justify;">Our Mind has thousands of neurons, the same as our body has thousands of nerves. The blood that flows into them is what it makes our bodily system keeps going. Our mind controls everything in our body. It controls our body according to a systematic rhythm, and that is music of our body. The beat our heart, the movement of our body, our breathing pattern, and speed of our brain to think was the result of a systematic rhythm in our body, that somehow we can called music of our body.<br /><br />Music or rhythm brought thousands of benefits to mankind. Music plays important role now in our society, may it be politically, socially, psychologically, and in the medical field.<br /><br />I believe that music is so powerful that can either destroy or heal our mind or body. Music therapy could be used to those who are depressed. As it may <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://justasyouthink.blogspot.com/2009/04/overcoming-failure.html">overcome failure</a>. As according to science, like dissolve like, it’s like a soothing music soothes the heart of those who are lonely and thereby the brain produces neurons that calms their mind and feelings. Listening to a mellow music every night, to those who can’t sleep, makes them sleepy, and it produces the effects of calming one’s mind.<br /><br />A faster beat of musics makes one alive and active. The beat or rhythm of musics affects one’s brains, and thereby making one’s mood’s perfectly in accordance with the surroundings or undertakings. But, of course too much produces negative effects.<br /><br />For students a good background musics could make them study well. But it really depends on the body rhythm of the listener. As one might go for fast beat music and others just a mellow music. <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://justasyouthink.blogspot.com/2009/07/musics-at-its-best.html">Music at its best...</a><br /><br /><br /></div>Yanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068821249123362086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782348999945913825.post-24387064278525948162009-07-19T02:29:00.000-07:002009-07-19T04:53:41.013-07:00A Simple Sense Of Fashion To Look Good<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ZRBTPmkBUfQLptyTruyU_ENe1kZyKI1TqigFh0vwhYwPtjuRnWM9cSEkZq4O2tG65bu4AU3sAmZGniExBA0-hDcN2c5cJTTBEqCX_NA6P4yIYF5v4c9lo9YGvLxzy2HcnwTnQLRUQiVS/s320/shopwiki-_logo.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 86px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ZRBTPmkBUfQLptyTruyU_ENe1kZyKI1TqigFh0vwhYwPtjuRnWM9cSEkZq4O2tG65bu4AU3sAmZGniExBA0-hDcN2c5cJTTBEqCX_NA6P4yIYF5v4c9lo9YGvLxzy2HcnwTnQLRUQiVS/s320/shopwiki-_logo.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> It is so good to feel comportable, but what makes you more comportable is to look good.

Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. <><br /><br />2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.<br /><br />3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.<br /><br />4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.<br /><br />5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.<br /><br />6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.<br /><br />7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.<br /><br />8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.<br /><br />9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.<br /><br />10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.<br /><br />11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.<br /><br />WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:<br /><br />a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.<br /><br />b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.<br /><br />c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.<br /><br />d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at<br />temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).<br /><br />e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.<br /><br />12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.<br /><br />13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.<br /><br />14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.<br /><br />15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.<br /><br />16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.<br /><br /><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);" href="http://justasyouthink.blogspot.com/2009/03/never-go-for-impulse-buying.html">Do You Have An Implusive Buying Attitude?</a><br /></div>Yanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068821249123362086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782348999945913825.post-26088296140652279062009-03-22T23:29:00.000-07:002009-03-23T00:22:23.561-07:00FXopen an Honest Broker<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNO30d4w4QeVWQjLTYzBfttx4wHDpihVO2Kpx8KbkjSBuF5JSiE8Cz0pNoP_iKmApEapjPVTQ4J49QkYHRK1W8CfkjVLrrjYFjVtBgmUvzByBRsVe0Y10HEFSzb9pfec1CyhTH4_SQ4l8/s1600-h/fxopen+logo_p01.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNO30d4w4QeVWQjLTYzBfttx4wHDpihVO2Kpx8KbkjSBuF5JSiE8Cz0pNoP_iKmApEapjPVTQ4J49QkYHRK1W8CfkjVLrrjYFjVtBgmUvzByBRsVe0Y10HEFSzb9pfec1CyhTH4_SQ4l8/s200/fxopen+logo_p01.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316277882705774946" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been trading forex for almost 2 years, although I wasn't quite successful but then it doesn't make my confidence down about forex trading.

Event Marketing strategies are the schemes used by a marketing analyst , sellers, or retailers, in order to obtain a good and favorable products or services feedback from consumers. As we go to supermarket, department stores, and malls there are always a bargain stuffs. We tend to but it feeling that we got a big savings or an advantage in buying those bargained products.<br /><br />Let me tell you that, " think first before acting in an impulse of obtaining a product(s) or service(s). As marketers employs tricks in selling their product or services, there are things that you should consider before buying it or before engaging the service of a company.<br /><br />First thing to consider is, to ask your self if you really need the product or really need thing(s) get repaired. Second, the budget. Third, Time element, and Fourth, Satisfaction.<br /><br />Along the process of negotiation, marketers do the tricks. Here is some of the tricks used to consumers, to buy things which mostly they don't need is a passing by dealings. The product(s) is expressed in an exaggerated title. It's just like, thinking you got the best, the truth is you got less. Another one is Buy One Take One schemes, or Buy 10 pieces in a great discount. It's like thinking you saved extra money, but the fact is the price is just the same. Another thing is, the limited stock or offer scheme. In such cases, you might feel the urge of buying all the stocks, but the thing is stocks are great as prices would fall next week. In the end you spend more. See the tricks used at Event Marketing.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;" href="http://justasyouthink.blogspot.com/2009/02/gap-rich-and-poor.html">The GAP- Rich and Poor...</a><br /></div>Yanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068821249123362086noreply@blogger.com0
