Internet
It’s amazing what you can find around the Internet (you know I can’t think of any topic to write about).
Here are a couple of things that might be of interest.
Ad wars – ad wars between BMW, Audi, Subaru and Bentley.
Winnie from The Wonder Years – Stuff magazine’s photoshoot of Danica McKellar who plays Winnie Cooper in “The Wonder Years”. Oh by the way, she graduated Summa Cum Laude at UCLA in Mathematics and co-authored a scientific paper in a peer-revied physics paper.

What couples fail to ask before getting married?
I was reading the New York Times website when I stumbled upon this interesting articles about the questions couple should ask before getting married.
1) Have we discussed whether or not to have children, and if the answer is yes, who is going to be the primary care giver?
2) Do we have a clear idea of each other’s financial obligations and goals, and do our ideas about spending and saving mesh?
3) Have we discussed our expectations for how the household will be maintained, and are we in agreement on who will manage the chores?
4) Have we fully disclosed our health histories, both physical and mental?
5) Is my partner affectionate to the degree that I expect?

Beware of Illegal Recruiters
I have always noticed ever since I was a kid, I have read in the newspapers, watched on TV, heard on the radio all about illegal recruitment agencies in the Philippines. There is always a company out there to fool people, and there are also a lot of victims all the time as they are lured into the trap of getting abroad and earning more to help in the expenses of the family and being able to climb their way out of poverty.
While there are people that can be fooled, companies like this will exist. And sometimes the victims are walking on the edge of the precipice, spending their last centavo and is in deep debt, expecting to get out of the country and being able to pay all debts once they get to work abroad.
The Great Massager
I wonder if you already saw a cat massages a dog because we already know that dog and cat are not friends.
But wait. My cat and dog are really friends. And as proof, I attached here a video clip visit the video clip and watch her massage my dog.
Note: Recently, I tried to attached on this post the video clip but it happens that this blog didn’t allow me to embed something even in iFrame. So, just visit the link given to watch the video clip. (Yours, Sustines Laplana)
How to Take Advantage of Free Hosting Sites?
The existence of free hosting sites are becoming a trend these days, they now come with cPanel, Direct Admin and other website managers, which used to only exist with paid hosting. Free hosts also offer huge space, which may reach up to 10gigs and bandwidth. You can also use your own domain or they offer you a free subdomain. These free hosts are PHP- and MySQL database-supported. Other features may include Fantastico which contains auto-install scripts that allow you to install PHP programs and a lot more, depending on your host.
But many people worry about the stability of these sites. They may worry about how do these free hosts exist without the members paying? Simple. Some free hosts offer an ad-supported plan, which means that you agree to display their banner in the form of text link ads such as Google Adsense, or they offer plans that requires you to make a certain number of posts for a given plan. You may wonder how do they make money out of those posts. The discussions created by the members will show relevant ads for their text-link ads and it will also reflect the activity of the forum, which serves as an attractant for more members, more traffic, more earnings. Some advertisers also opt to advertise their products in these sites because they are well-visited.

Top 10 signs that my folks are home indeed
FYI, it’s just me and my sister’s family here in the Philippines for most of the year. Papa works in Bahrain and Mama lives there with him. And it’s been like this for the past 8 years. There are advantages and disadvantages, of course, but I’ll save that for another post.
Anyway, so last December 13, my folks finally arrived home for the Christmas holidays, the 3rd consecutive time in 20 years that our whole family is complete! Yipee, right? Well yes. But the thing is, I have grown used to them being not around so during their vacation, the changes that their existence around the house can be quite amusing and sometimes, annoying, hehe! Home is very different when their around. Here’s 10 reasons why…
My Site Needs Upgrade Again
In just 10 months of existence, my SELaplana blog experienced a series of hosting plan upgrade at the PlogHost starting from Plann75 to Co-Branded Reseller Plan. As of writing this post, my blog has already consumed its 20GB Bandwidth limit. I already sent a request to the hosting company’s customer support regarding this matter, and I hope he’ll work it our immediately so that my blog can continue to exist this month.
I am still examining the site’s logs why did my site used up that much amount of Bandwidth. I’m wondering if its because of the images I uploaded into the site or because of the template of my blog.
Currently, there are two blogs who are eating up the bandwidth:
- SELaplana blog. This blog receives more than a thousand of unique hits a day.
- Songs Lyrics blog. Recent days, this blog receives more or less two thousand unique hits a day but later decreased to more or less a thousand unique hits a day.
However, I am still thinking if there are sites who are hotlinking to the images I uploaded into the site for it steals up bandwidth.
