Do you want to be treated like royalty?

I am addicted to massages. Isn’t everyone? I used to go to frequent The Spa at libis. However, it got to be such an expensive treat that I could only indulge about once a month. And with my back hurting all the time, I had to turn to massages to get relief.

One time I was passing by Pioneer in Mandaluyong, I chanced upon a small paper ad that advertised Home Massages. I was a bit wary at first because of all the urban legends that told of falling asleep during your massage and waking up to an empty home as the masseuse just stole everything you’ve ever owned. But then my pain was greater than my fear so I tried it. Since then I’ve been hooked.

RSS: Knocking on Pinoy Bloggers Doors

Feed IconDuring my recent bloghopping sessions to other Pinoy blogs within the blogosphere, I noticed that there were quite a number of Pinoy bloggers that are still not making use of the very powerful RSS on their own blogs. This revelation alone was enough of a reason to make me set aside my leisure time to give way for a new and worthwhile article.

It’s Really Simple

“RSS? Ano nga ba ‘yon?” asked a fellow blogger of mine who apparently had no idea what he is missing.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. This concept was devised to publish content taken from blogs or websites and present it into an XML format commonly known as an RSS Feed. These feeds can then be sent to different tools or RSS readers and later converted to the original content for human consumption.

This technology has been around for quite some time now and has helped in defining modern blogging. But one question looms those who hasn’t tried this syndication, “Do we really need RSS on our blogs?”

The answer is a big yes.

The Secret

beer makes you happy!

Ah, yes. Beer. It’s been around for ages. It has been used in international trade and labor. It has been utilized as a weapon against loneliness and depression. It has served as a love potion, turning people into creatures of beauty who live life with reckless abandon. It has been a loyal friend and a trusted confidant. A provider of courage and zeal. Liquid joy. A golden slice of heaven. For thousands of years, mankind has seen almost all of the effects of drinking beer. Almost.

Joost do it!

I don’t know how many people are still strangers too Joost but just to get enlightened you could check out the wikipedia entry for it right here. If you’re too lazy then I feel sorry for you man. No free invites for you.

Whoah! Did I just mention FREE invites to try the beta version of JOOST?

Yep I did! But I’m not so sure about it. See the latest version says that I get an unlimited number of invites but then I’m not sure and I’m too lazy to open up Joost (they should have it voice activated or better yet have a mind control switch) and check it out. Anyways, If I do have an unlimited number of invites then I would probably give out these invites to those who wants one. But wait!!! There’s more!

Last May 9, I went to PRC (Professional Regulations Commission) with Sharon and her other friend (I forgot the name – another symptom of my name recall problem). And all I can say, the experience was chaotic. Hell, PRC!
