Blogging May Not Be Deadly, But It Has a Whole Sweatshop of Other Problems
It’s currently the hottest story at TechMeme. The New York Times reports that “In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop“. Drop dead, that is. They consider professional blogging a “digital-era sweatshop”, referring to a factory where its workers are sorely underpaid and unprotected.
But I have to say that NYT is going somewhere with its term, sweatshop.
We got an aquarium!
Warren introduced me to this cool Opera widget, SimAquarium, and got me hooked last week.
Then, out of the blue this weekend, he decided to bring me to Cartimar to see if we could take the Aquarium fever to the next level and if it would do us some good on a hot, bristling Saturday.
Cartimar is located in Pasay and it is by far the biggest animal shop I have seen. It is a one stop superstore with endless shops that sell freshwater and saltwater fish, dogs of different breeds, cats – Siamese and Persians alike, a few exotic animals, birds and yeah, even shoes.
After scouring the shops, we finally decided to set up an aquarium, well of course we already knew what kind of aquarium we wanted to own. Warren once saw this type of aquarium with round edges and he thought, although far more expensive than average aquariums, that type is safer and looks better. We also thought we wanted about 10 guppies swimming in the aquarium. With those in mind, we started our hunt.

Best profession yet!
I must admit, I
am immensely enjoying life as a wife and as a homemaker.
There was a time in my life when I thought I wasn’t cut out for this kind of life, homemaking sounded a little too boring, too insignificant, too unimportant, too small, too ordinary, too outdated… I once felt, and decided that it wasn’t me.
I thought managing a career is a lot more fun, a lot more challenging, a lot more significant and I decided that being a career woman is what today’s empowered woman should be… In power suits, in high heeled patent leather shoes, carrying monogrammed handbags, driving their own expensive car, heading conferences, living fast-paced lives, like a full twenty four hours isn’t enough to get things done…Glamorous! Yeah, the glamour is all too enticing…
Soaring Rice Prices: A Global Warming Toll
Rising prices of rice is a result of global warming deception. The United Nations’ sponsorship of anthropogenic global warming is now taking its toll on the rice consuming nations of Asia. Prodded to find a cleaner source of energy that does not emit carbon dioxide –way back in 1986 with the joke of ozone depletion or ozone hole fiasco- local scientists introduced biofuel. Biofuel is the short term of biorganic fuel which is a combination of plant and animal substance that can be burnt as fuel and a replacement to petroleum gas. UN indorsed this biofuel and government representatives embarked on giving farmers more incentives to enhance global production of this fossil oil substitute…see more @ Pinoy Barking Hall

Nancy Jane is the new Nancy Castiglione
Just last Saturday, I was watching some videos on MYX when I stumbled upon this very good song and music video of Nancy Jane. My brother and I were arguing if it’s really Nancy Castiglione singing or if a trance artist named Nancy Jane is just featuring Nancy Castiglione on the video. So just to be sure, I did my homework to check out about this.
