It's been like 3 months since www.playlist.com playlists are not playing and i keep on getting this message : "due to licensing restrictions, some tracks are currently unavailable for playing in your country"


I mean what the...! so err you go, I waited for so many days waiting for it to be up again. It's just now that i realized that it is working in my office and the issue is happening only when i'm accessing my playlists at home. So ofcourse, to seek help I googled the error message and guess what I found out, Philippines is part of that "licensing restrictions " that playlist.com is talking about. Mostly Asia and Europe is affected.


The reason why it is working in my office?
I knew that our IP address is located in RI USA. So, I guess playlist.com is only working in the United States.


Buckets full of CRAP!

My account on www.playlist.com is such a mess. When it was still working, I used to play my playlists rather than using my itunes at home. It's just so sad that playlist.com need to do that "restriction" whatever... though there's a lot of other choices like grooveshark, mp3-codes.com and myflashfetish still, I'm very disappointed right now.


I use to brag about playlist.com pa naman you can even see that I promoted it on my multiply site because it'a really fast and less buffering than any other audio streaming sites. Lost of songs too!

oh i remember, there goes imeem.com as well. Where now, though it's not a sort of restriction thingy but they have this 30 sec preview only chorva. Unlike before, I can listen to tons of good songs continuously and completely. Now it's also useless na rin.
:S

Gem is just so excited because she's about to get his 13th month pay... tadaaa!


hmm..  I really want to buy a lot of things for my self. I want to buy a new phone, dye my hair, buy me lots of apparels and go out on a date with my parents and Chris of course.

After all the urges and wants .. I ended up wanting to save more money. I don't wanna buy a new phone anymore. Looking at my 4 year old phone (my jurrasic 6680 phone ^_^ ) , I know it still works. There's nothing wrong with it yet and it's really a tough phone, knowing I dropped it many times before. Hehe! I just want a new phone because I want something that has a wifi  feature. Yet, I don't find it very unreasonable to buy a new phone. I pity my old phone if I have to threw it away just because I wanted a new one.  lols


Anyways, Dyeing my hair 101 is still on my check list. I want an auburn red hair. I'm thinking what will it be since sometimes hair dye doesn't seem to sink in to my hair. Duh - badtrip! I'll post it if it will be successful haha.. If not... then nevermind. I gues it's worth trying anyways.


I'll save most of my 13th na lang rather than spending it big time. I guess i'll let all my cravings pass muna. Then I'll think tons of time before deciding what do i really want or what do i really need.

• a soft washcloth
• a blend of castor oil and olive oil
• hot water

1. 
   Pour the oil into your palm. Rub your hands together to warm the oil and smooth it over your face.
   
   
   
   
   
2. 
   
   Massage the oil into your face. Massage the oil deeply into your pores in a circular motion. Work it into your pores so that blackheads and all that gunk can be dissolved and steamed away. (I love it when I feel little beady, pore-clogging stuff coming out of my pores as I massage the oil, delightfully gross haha!)
   
   
   
   
   
3. 
   Once you feel your pores are clean enough, pick up your washcloth and soak it in hot water. The water must be warm enough to open pores and remove the oil.
   
   
   
   
4. 
   Cover your face with the warm washcloth, and let it stay until it cools.
   
   
   
   
5. 
   Wipe the oil away and rinse the washcloth well in hot, running water. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for at least 2 more times.

2 weeks ago my boyfriend and I watched the movie "And i love you so" at home, starring Bea Alonzo and Sam Milby . We watched it though CJ doesn't really want watch it after all. He's not a big fan of Tagalog mushy movies but as it is, he has no choice or else i wouldn't watch District 9 with him after this ( hehe).
Now, since I'm here doing nothing i think it's time for me to create my first ever movie review on my blog ( more to follow :P)

Unfortunately, we weren't able to watch it in a movie house (even in greenbelt). I heard about the issue that star cinema had with SM supermalls that's why it was not shown to any SM malls during it's screening days. Now I'm thinking that maybe this movie didn't earn a lot since SM malls are everywhere and tons of movie goers are really into watching films at SM outlets. I'm just wondering why it was not available in Ayala malls as well. I was told that it should be available in Ayala malls. That day I was in Greenbelt, this film was just on it's 2nd week.DO you think they stopped playing this movie even after a week only? Too bad for this film. Well, I think my BF prayed for it because he told before checking this out at Greenbelt that he doesn't want to watch it in a movie house. Why? he said it's very embarassing ( what the...!) What's wrong with tagalog movie?!


Anyways, I honestly like the plot of the movie. The trailer initially tempted me to watch it. It seems to me that the scriptwriter was influenced by the film "sassy girl" in a way because the plot is "almost" the same.But somehow, the characters are totally different.

In the part where the character of Bea is longing for his husband ( Derek), i think she should have act more depressed and sad. Her mourning for his husband was just shown in a way that she was just crying on her bed. I remember watching Windstruck ( This korean movie is like a prequel of the movie sassy girl ) that movie really made me cry because after her BF died, she almost killed her self and was seen in a most desperate and hurtful condition. I watched Windstruck over and over again and it never failed to give me tears. hmm.. why I'm telling so much about windstruck? because honestly I expected this movie from Bea to be like that, very tearful.

In total, this movie is nice, a good drama to watch. The movie evolved more about how Sam and Bea fell in love rather than focusing on Bea's love and marriage with Derek. I just think they should have lengthen the scene where Bea cries over his dead Husband and how depressed she was. For me losing someone you love deeply is really unbearable and so exruciating. Bottomline? more tears!!! lolz

Imma sucker for drama talaga... (obvious ba!?)

Until now typhoon "Ondoy" which hit the Philippine island particularly Luzon is still such a nightmare to all Filipinos. That rain is really wild. "Ondoy" is indeed crazy. I'm very affected every time I'm watching television and seeing my countrymen suffer, yearn and even died because of the monstrous typhoon.
I'm really thankful to God above because we we're not affected by the typhoon like what others had experienced. I can't imagine myself being in that situation at all. I can feel their agony of losing almost everything that they have with regards to their assets and what's worst losing their loved ones in an instant.

I agree on what many news anchor says that the hardest part of this tragedy is the recovery phase. Coz' if you can observe many organization and personalities are extending their help through financial assitance as of now. But i'm wondering what will happen to these victims after a week from now, a month or even a year from now. First on the financial and assets damages for each victim. Most of them lost their business and investment due to the 3 storey blg high flood. i can imagine how much hardships and money these people spent to be able to establish and earn these properties which was damaged in just a matter of one day. All of them doesnt know how and where to start their lives all over again.

I just hope a lot more of helping hands will extend their help up until these people will be able to live a normal life again. I'm hoping for a fast recovery for each and every Filipino who has been suffering from a Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PSD).

do you know what a choosy piggy bank is?

I read one blog regarding this and I smiled after reading it because i used to do the same thing with my own piggy bank. The idea of this piggy bank is that you only choose what type of coin/bill you want to drop into you piggy bank to save money. It can be 1, 5, 10 (coins), 20 or 50 bill. For me coins are much exciting. :)

Well, This is not a "big time" type of saving since for me I just did it for fun. What I picked are ten peso coins. It was really fun because my own rule is that, I will not really spent every ten peso coin that I have no matter what happened. I see to it that i will save it in my bank. My college, friends who knew that i was saving my ten peso coins even forced me to exchange their ten peso coins for my bills since they knew I'm really into collecting ten peso coins.

It's really nice to look at those ten peso coins since it silver and gold.

You can try it as well. You'll be surprised how much those ten peso coin will be after you enjoyed collecting it. Just make sure you won't let it exceed upto 500-1000 pesos because what happened to me is that i almost saved 2500 php which I really had a hard time exchanging it for bills when I already wanted to use it. My tip for you is try to set it per month so that after every month you'll have some money to buy yourself something fancy :)

( as i've read on an on-line MAG)

Porn

I'll be the first to admit that I own so much porn that I have "organizing sessions" where I delete and file it on the computer. Guys are very matter-of-fact about porn, and it's part of our lives before we ever get into a serious relationship.

It becomes an issue when porn becomes a bigger part of someone's sex life than their significant other. An old girlfriend of mine didn't have sex as much as I wanted to, but I didn't confront her. I ended up turning to porn instead. It probably would have been more productive to confront her in a constructive way, but i took a different way out. But, because porn helps satisfy sexual urges, one could argue that this alternate source of release helps prevent cheating.

An "Online Companion"

Suppose your significant other meets someone online. They begin communicating more and more, and eventually it gets romantic. This might even graduate to phone conversations or a clandestine meeting.

Connecting with another person romantically, even if it begins online, is a form of cheating in my book. The very nature of building a relationship through conversation adds a spiritual/mental component to the relationship beyond physical attraction.

Seeing An Ex

This has a lot to do with how much your significant other knows. Plenty of exes remain in our lives as friends, but it becomes an issue when we see them in secret. Even if nothing serious happens, there is potential for old flames to rise again. And, if it's totally innocent, there's no reason to avoid telling your significant other that you are hanging out with your ex.

A "Work Spouse"

My married friend was telling me about a person at work they'd "love to have sex with". They work together on many projects, get drinks after work, and have become close personal friends. In work situations, it's inevitable that people will get close. They have a lot in common, feel the same pain from the annoying boss, and go to one another for support in the office and in life outside the office.

The "work spouse" is a common phenomenon. My friend Margaret is my "work wife" but it's completely platonic. We argue like husband and wife. She supports me with advice and even fixed a hole in my jeans once (I really can't sew). As long as it remains platonic, "work spouse" relationships are rewarding and strong.

Fantasizing

Fantasizing/thinking about other people is natural and there's nothing we can do about it. There are thoughts, then words, then actions. As long as thoughts remain thoughts and don't evolve into actions, there shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure all of my girlfriends have thought of someone else while we were dating. I just do my best not to worry about it and, as long as I don't know about it about I'm fine (unless she's fantasizing about someone annoying like John Mayer- I just can't have that).

It's easier, sometimes, to vent to someone else instead of addressing a difficult issue about your relationship with your significant other. It's a good policy to steer clear from speaking to friends of the opposite gender about weaknesses in your relationship. Your best friend should also be your significant other, so why not bring up deep issues concerning your relationship directly to your them and work on it all together?

What other activities would you say could be considered cheating, but may not be considered cheating? Which of the above would you consider cheating?

My friend just told me that there's a new craze when speaking of footwear. It's PLUEYS ... hmm it's just simply rainboots with the a new and cool touch. Now i wonder will it be a hit like havainas or crocs? In my own opinion it won't be so much patronized here in the Philippines since we're not really into boots at all. Well, that doesn't mean I don't like boots. In fact, I really long to have lots of them specially korean inspired boots.

Plueys are nice but it just doesn't fit my style and I'm not comfortable wearing rain boots at all. hehe parang ang init nya kasi .

but if i have to choose one, I'd rather have this one >


Or eto nlng for everyday use -





there you go and a like so much more.

maybe pag nag UK or canada nlng ako hehe :P

Here's what my ikariam account looks like to date. Hopefully mag-grow siya ng bongang bonga.

This is the new craze my colleagues are after right now. When we're on idle status we always upgrade our "isla/bayan" (astig!)

It's weird because the menu is purely Filipino, as in all words are so "DEEP" pare! hehe

gem a.k.a alchemist. :)

ikaw, may ikariam account ka ba? padalhan mo nmn ako ng kalakal! hehe

it's like local travian game in short

Wanna watch the bout for free just follow these steps:

1. Install download a p2p streaming software onto your computer, most popular is sopcast but I prefer TVU (since it is already on my pc ^_^)

2. Look for links for p2p channels that will stream the bout, here's one http://kaspog-tv.info/boxing2

3. Once the page opens you will see options on which software you want the bout to be streamed to, say TVU player, click on the "play" link. The program would start loading the channel where the bout will be streamed from.

The bout will begin I believe a couple of hours from now, so at this moment you might see some chinese sports channel. But be patient, the bout will be streamed as soon as, of course, the match begins.

I will e posting more links later.

I know most of you doesn't know what TMJ means. It means TempoMandibular Joint Disorder.
"Panga" sa tagalog

Here's how my case history goes, first I had facial pain which i mistakenly thought as sinusitis. That's why i immediately have an appointment with an EENT specialist which my mom recommended me. My initial diagnosis is that i have sinusitis though. but then, few days later i had earache same on the left side where i first felt the facial pain plus tinnitus (ringing in the ear). Again, i had it checked by my EENT dr and the result was negative. That Dr. even asked me to have a CT scan ( i was afraid and i panicked that time because i thought i have brain tumor or something like that). But then i visited my neurologist since i'm really doubting what that dr recommended me plus i was also experiencing numbness (paresthesia) in my left face already. I'm really scared!
it feels so weird it was the first time for me to experience that symptom before. Then my neurologist said i don't need to have a ct scan actually ( WHATTA RELIEF! i'm really afraid of confined places). She said i might have TMJ or it's only because my wisdom tooth is popping out.
She explained everything to me and as a nurse I also thought that it might be it.

Then my BF told me his orthodontic/dentist is a really good one and to my surprise, that dentist is a TMJ specialist.

AND indeed it is TMJ I just had my weird intracranial x-ray which feels very awful when their taking it. My doctor saw the films of the x-ray ( which was taken all the way from Rob Ermita, since that the only clinic my dentist knew that ha that kind of machine), she saw that the dislocation of my joint is really severe.

TREATMENT?:

now a few days from now i'm about to wear my dental splint.. goodluck
will post my pics when i already have it :P

*******************************

etong sayo! :)
It's almost like you had it planned It's like you smiled and shook my hand and said "Hey, I'm about to screw you over, big time"

And what was I supposed to do? I was stuck in between you and a hard place We won't talk about the hard place

But I don't blame you anymore That's too much pain to store

It left me half dead Inside my head And boy, looking back I see I'm not the girl I used to be When I lost my mind It saved my life It's how you wanted it to be It's like you played a joke on me And I lost a friend In the end

And I think that I cried for days But now that seems light years away And I'm never going back To who I was

Cause I don't blame you anymore That's too much pain to store It left me half dead Inside my head And boy, looking back I see I'm not the girl I used to be When I lost my mind It saved my life I think that I cried for days But now that seems light years away

And I'm never going back To who I was Cause I don't blame you anymore That's too much pain to store It left me half dead Inside my head And boy, looking back I see I'm not the girl I used to be When I lost my mind It saved my life That life seems like light years away Light years away

“Sometimes when you're young you think nothing can hurt
you, its like your invincible, your whole life is ahead of
you when you think you got big plans find your perfect
match, the one who completes you, but as you get older you realize its not always that easy. It’s not till the end of your life till you realize the plans you made are just plans but in the end when your looking back instead of forward, you want to believe that your leaving something good behind, you want it all to have mattered.”
