My Best Day Ever!

Hi and Thank You For Visiting My Blog.

Today I want to share with you my happy day.

As for me, today is my birthday. How young am I? I am 23 years young. People always say something like “how old are you?” or “I am 23 years old”. It is true that we are getting older day by day. But some other people (like me for example) always feel young in the heart. Hahaha! That’s why; I try to say it in different way. By asking people “how YOUNG are you?” will makes they feel better isn’t it? Therefore, for you who going to be 30 or late 20s, don’t feel old. Never say “I’m old already” because you are not too old to be considered as “old”. Always be young in your heart, and you’ll be young always.

In this past 23 years, I would say that there still a lot of things in my life that not accomplished. I have my own goal and dreams. Most of them still not accomplished. I will keep on moving forward as I don’t want to waste any more times in my life doing something that I don’t like.

One of my friends quoted: “See no evil... Hear no evil... This is my journey, this is my fight... I will fight till the end”.

I like the end of the phrase – I will fight till the end. Sounds cool isn’t it? But this word has no meaning if it only to be read. I can say that it something like we desired something but did not do anything to achieve it. This word needs actions!


I am doing the same here; will keep on fighting till the end. I decided to step forward in every single aspect in my life. Slowly, but surely! This is my prayer… to make every single day after my 23rd year to be a better day.

That’s about me today. Proceed with my brother story…

I think today my brother will be the happiest person. He is getting a son, which makes me feel happy as well. After the birth of the child, we will have a double celebration every year – The child and my birthday! What great news! I have never get this excited before. This is my first nephew… that’s why I feel very happy.

Just called my sister and she is at the Hospital, waiting for the birth as well. You know why me and my other siblings get so excited? It is because this is the first time we get a nephew. Hahaha! That’s why…

I thank God for still giving me this breathe to live on my life. You should be thankful as well. We never know whether we still breathing tomorrow cause life is shorter than we think.

Hope to see you in my blog again. Comments or reply can be done through Blogger or Multiply.


Until next time,

Microsoft® Magic!

Hi and Thank You For Visiting My Blog.

Hey, sorry for didn’t write any post this few days. I’ve been very busy working and hardly find times to let myself relax. During those times, I discovered a simple, yet interesting thing about Microsoft. I would like to call it Microsoft magic because this so-called “magic” couldn’t be answered. Well, here they are – the three Microsoft magic! Try them yourself.

MAGIC #1

Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the Computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty Cool...and Unbelievable.... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!

TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE “CON” FOLDER

MAGIC #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

You can try the same thing above with another sentence “this app can break”

Is it just a really weird bug? :-??

MAGIC #3

Microsoft crazy facts

This is something pretty cool and neat! It is unbelievable and was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...

Open Microsoft Word and type below text

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER

Wala! See the magic...............................!!!

*I actually got this from my working colleague.


I know it is pretty boring but at least I post something here. I quite busy lately so hopefully can post something more useful soon.

Until next time,

Are You Bored?

Hi and Thank You For Visiting My Blog.

“Are you bored?” That is today question.

I am sure that there will be times when we all feel tired and extremely bored especially after doing hard work, manage a lot of things, listening to you higher management's order, and you name it..

A lot of things that will make us feel like that, right?

Well, this post might help you because today I will let you know some useful links that might cure your boring moments!

Before that, I know you might have some ideas on how to overcome your boring moments, like go to YouTube, do online quizzes, Sudoku, and more to list down. Well, as for me, this is one of the thing that I can do to overcome my boring moment - write a post to my blog. Another reason is, my company doesn't restrict me to blogging, but they did restrict us to watch video (although sometimes I did - lol). It depends on us actually, on what to do when we are bored. Enough said, let get started!

Another good thing is all the website provided free services.

Below are 10 useful links related to curing your boring moments:

1. I Am Bored

URL: http://www.i-am-bored.com/

“I Am Bored” will get you through even the most dreadfully long days by being the most entertaining website on the Internet.

Hours pass like minutes as you dive into games, movie clips, songs, jokes, quizzes, horoscopes, forums and more. Furthermore, I am Bored is safe. You don't have to worry about adware or spyware. And, you can navigate this site at the office or with your kids.

Even the sites that have links on this website “MUST NOT HAVE ADULT CONTENT”, which is another reason, make this website to be in the top spot!

2. MiniClip

URL: http://www.miniclip.com

Another great free entertainment website! Without question, MiniClip is the best website to find tons of free games. The game graphics on this website are awesome. There are games for everyone-puzzles, sports, trivia, strategy, card, classic arcade and more. This is strictly a gaming site; you won't find a lot of other entertainment content here.

The qualities of the games are awesome! You hear me right – it is AWESOME! Please visit this website and soon you will thank me for suggesting this website to you. Believe me, you won’t regret it.

3. Guinness World Record

URL: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/

See the biggest, fastest, tallest, most amazing and the most skilled on GuinnesWorldRecord.com. Spend hours sifting the archives of astounding people, animals, gadgets and world record smashing feats. Or, set a new world record of your own in your free time-the site provides all the information you need to plan and track your record attempt.

All of the videos are very clear, load quickly and don't stutter during play. The pictures are also easy to view.

4. Google Video

URL: http://video.google.com/

Whether you're looking for a video clip of a sports legend like Michael Jordan or a segment of a U2 concert, you'll likely find it on Google Video. This website has a video on just about any topic.

Some of the content is professionally created, like the movie clips and commercials, but much of it is filmed and submitted by users.

Another great site and service by Google!

*For those who don’t know, YouTube is also a service provided by Google and some of the video in Google Video are linked to YouTube.

5. StupidVideos.com

URL: http://www.stupidvideos.com/

Stupidvideos.com is one of the most popular and largest databases of video clips on the web. You can see everything from crazy stunts to your favorite TV commercials. You can spend hours browsing and watching the collection of clips on this site.

Like some of the other video sites, you won't find games or other forms of entertainment, just an array of videos.

6. eBaum's WORLD

URL: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/

Ebaum's World is one of the most frequented entertainment websites on the Internet. This website has a little bit of everything-videos, games, soundboards, pictures, magic and more.

This website isn't as “clean” as some of the higher-ranked sites. Ebaum's World isn't designed for children and contains some fairly graphic images and strong language.

7. teagames.com

URL: http://www.teagames.com/

Teagames.com doesn't have the quantity of games offered by some of the other sites but the quality is great. There are also new games in the works so you can check back often to find new Teagames.

These games are simple, but fun and very addicting. The graphics are decent and the movements in the games are very fluid and make the games more realistic.

8. Coffee Break Arcade

URL: www.coffeebreakarcade.com

Another game-based entertainment site - Coffee Break Arcade is full of fun little games that are easy to learn and play. You can visit this site if you just have a few minutes to burn or need a quick break.

As I mentioned above, this site is limited to games and you won’t find any video, audio or jokes in this site.

The good things are you’ll find some of your favorite TV classics like Wheel of Fortune and Millionaire.

There is a game for everyone on this site. There are children's, action, card and shoot'em up games and brainteasers, for people who want to put a little more thought into the game.

9. Holy Lemon

URL: http://www.holylemon.com/

Contain Funny Videos, Flash Movies, Fun Games and Funny Pictures. This entertaining website has a little bit of everything to fight your boredom and they are constantly updating and adding to the content.

This site also contains kid’s game but I think it is no appropriate to kids as they are some advertising that have adult contents. For example, the “Hot Screensaver”

10. Free Addicting Games.com

URL: http://freeaddictinggames.com/

This is definitely a site to add to your favorites list and visit when you're bored or just need a break from work. There are hundreds amusing games and even some flash animations.

This is the best part Рthis site is free from adware and spyware and, for the most part, Free Addicting Games is safe for the office. Some of the ads show "hot babes"-nothing too risqu̩.

The games are quite good (some of them) and some of them will make you boring quite fast. But once you know which game suits you, you will keep on coming back to this site.

That's all for today. Hope you enjoy.

Have Fun!

Websites you have to visit!

Hi and thank you for visiting my blog.

After a long consideration, I have decided to make this blog as my personal blog. It's not really personal, but I wanted to make this blog as useful as possible for my visitor - you!

This blog will be a source of information for visitors in especially in I.T related things, musics, movies, and so on. I will provide as much information as possible for those things that I mentioned earlier - links, sites, etc.

Let's proceed to the topic. What do you think when I mentioned "Website you have to visit"?

It is actually straight to the point. You have to visit those websites. Most of the websites I'm going to share have never been heard or visited before and I found out that those websites are very useful. If you bought PC PRO magazine (July 2007), you might have the idea what I'm going to share today.

Enough said. I will list all of the links to the websites and let you judge. In PC PRO (July 2007), they are 50 websites listed that we have to visit. I will share with you 10 of them today.

1. www.picnik.com

With one of the best online interfaces I've yet seen, Picnik is a powerful online photo editor. Just open an image from your PC and make use of Picnik's comprehensive set of editing tools. Now you can edit pictures anywhere, anytime, as long as you connected to the internet.

2. www.angryalien.com

The problem with watching movie is that it takes longer than installing a Vista in your PC. So for time-starved film-buffs everywhere, Angry Alien Productions has ingeniously condensed classic movies into 30 second animations. Starring bunnies.

3. www.thetechdirt.com

There are plenty of technology-oriented news aggregators onlinem but few can hold a candle to Techdirt when it comes to exposing the underbelly of the technology business. As the name suggests, this is one service that isn't afraid to dig the dirt and then put up a bug sign so everyone can come and kick at the pile.

4. www.fark.com

Fark is no ordinary news site: it brings together the strangest, funniest, mosst unlikely news stories from local and national sources around the world, and hosts irreverent discussions of each story coutesy of a loyal corps of regular visitors. Also include regular Photoshop competitions.

5. http://video.stumbleupon.com

StumbleUpon is probably best known as a Firefox extension that directs surfers to random, user-rated websites. The StumbleUpon Video site does exactly the same with video clips taken from just about every video repository on the net.

6. www.askoxford.com

The next time a jumped-up pub quizmaster declares the longest word in the dictionary is "antidisestablishmentariaism", point him towards AskOxford and ask him to look up "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" - a 45 letter monster that's described as a "supposed lung disease". AskOxford is more than an online dictionary; it's a wordsmith's dream, delivering hundreds of facts about our peculiar language.
7. www.chordbook.com

This is one of my favourite website and have bookmarked it under my favorites. Teach yourself the guitar without relying on a stuffy manual at Chordbook. The Flash-animated window in the center of the page shows exactly where to place your fingers for any chord possible, so you'll soon be strumming along to Smoke on the Water or The Ace of Spades.

8. www.mailinator.com

There's little quite so irritating as being forced to give your email address to a service or site you'll use only once. Inevitably, it will be sold and your inbox will be bombarded with spam until your dying day. Mailinator offers an ingenious way around this, by providing a disposable email address. You heard me right, disposable email address.

9. www.jumpcut.com

Tired of needing a high-end PC and expensive software to edit your video? Well, now you can edit your video online! You can do it through web browser with the deceptively powerful Jumpcut. Very simple as you drag and drop files to edit.


10. www.yousendit.com

It's difficult to work out what's wore - receiving a 10MB attachment you don't or sending a large attachment and getting a bounceback. Whichever makes ou curse loudest, YouSendIt has a solution. It is like a personal FTP site without the admin: just upload the file the add the email address. You can send files up to 100MB in size for free!

Well, that's it! 10 useful websites for today. I will post the others maybe tomorrow. Hope you guys like this post.

Enjoy and please comment. Thanks.

P/S: I don't like spam. Please behave and don't do anything stupid in my blog.

One of money making opportunity

Hi and thank you for visiting my page.

Just a short post here. I just want to share with you all one of the way to make money online and it is the easiest way to make money online.

It is called affiliate marketing. Below is the definition of affiliate marketing. I got this from Wikipedia.


Affiliate marketing is a method of promoting web businessesaffiliate (publisher) is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber, customer, and/or sale provided through his/her efforts.

Affiliate marketing is also the name of the industry where a number of different types of companies and individuals are performing this form of internet marketing, including affiliate networks, affiliate management companies and in-house affiliate managers, specialized 3rd party vendors and various types of affiliates/publishers who utilize a number of different methods to advertise the products and services of their merchant/advertiser partners.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates are using the same methods as most of the merchants themselves do. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, email marketing and to some degree display advertising.

Affiliate marketing - using one site to drive traffic to another - is the stepchild of online marketing. While search engines, e-mail and RSS capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing, despite lineage that goes back almost to the beginning of online retailing, carries a much lower profile. Yet affiliates continue to play a fundamental role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.


One of the affiliate marketing I joined is JoeBucks (See below). You can have a website or blog to do affiliate marketing.

Do you believe in making money online?

Hi and thank you for visiting my page.

You might thinking why am I keep on thanking you everytime I writing a new post. Well, there is only one reason - that is to thank you. It is a good thing isn't it? So, what other reason can it be? Enough said, let's proceed to the main topic.

Lately I've been busy with reading eBooks about internet marketing or how to make money online. Before I proceed, do you really believe that we can make money through the internet? Let say you are new to internet, don't know much about computers. Do you think you can do it?

Let me tell you this. I've been reading hundreds of eBooks just to learn the concept and other thing that can help me do my online business. After I spent few hundreds to buy those ebooks (Yes, I bought it. They are not free!), and read all of them, I finally found the serious and the right person to refer to. Most of the ebooks I bought were just talking craps! In their websites, they said that there are not much to learn and not much to do in order for us to start our own business online. They then ask to buy their ebooks with discounted price. But the content of the ebooks not telling what we expected to. That's made me frustrated.

To make story short, it is true that we can make money online. Most of successful internet marketer had done this for years! In fact, some of them have made millions! One of my friend has started to make money online. It is true when you do it correctly and get a correct person as a mentor. Some of the people out there feels that it is hard and almost impossible to making money online. What do you expect? Money falling from sky by doing nothing? Don't joke with me. You need to work to get the result, man. But internet business is way better than traditional business. It has overcome those traditional barriers - language, geography, and so on.. That's the power of Internet.

Well, it is up to you whether to believe or not. At least I have given you some info. More tips coming in next posts.
