Hello!

Well, hello again. After 4 years, lol.

I've finally able to find my out of that haystack. But the damage has been done. My page rank has dropped to...I don't know. I don't even have a page rank anymore. Fortunately, I don't care about that right now. I'm just happy I was able to retrieve this account. See, my yahoo e-mail, the one I used with this blog, has been deleted from the system. Well, I'm sorry I didn't read the terms. I have to actually be active at least once a year to maintain it. A simple act I apparently did not do.

So, for those who are having the same problem, here's what I did.

1) Try to remember the e-mail you used. Like seriously remember, spelling and all.

2) Sign up for another account. (Yahoo, for my case. This I think is part of the problem. I should've used my Google account for this blog.)

3) In signing up, use the same e-mail (spelling and all) as your previous one, the one that was deleted.

4) End of story. Haha

It's actually quite simple. It's devastating how I did not think about it earlier. Well, let's charge it to experience.

And in conclusion, I'm back to blogger, fellas. I just couldn't leave it. I started here. There's just too many memories. ;]

Say hello to my cat! :)

The Ultimate Guide To Writing A PhD Thesis

Writing a PhD thesis is a monumental task that can be broken down into many manageable pieces. By deconstructing the process of writing a PhD thesis in this way you can turn an epic task into something that you can easily do. This is the ultimate guide to writing a PhD thesis.

Make Your Choices

Before you do anything else you have to decide on the topic of your PhD thesis. This can be a job in itself but it must be done before you can proceed. Put in the effort necessary to get this done and get it done. You need it to move on to the next step.

Make A Plan

To write your PhD thesis you will need to make a plan. You will need to plan out every little aspect of the writing process. This is not a writing task that you can play by ear and hope that it all works out for the best. The more that you start off with a clear structure the better off you will be. Following are some of the plans that you need to make.

Timetable

Create a timetable for your writing. How much time will you spend writing each day? How much will you have done by your chosen checkpoint dates? When will you be done with your first draft?

How much time are you giving yourself to edit your work? How much extra time are you putting into this timetable for those unavoidable circumstances that are sure to throw off your schedule? You want to know what you are doing, when you are doing it, and that everything will still work out fine if you miss a day of writing.

Outline

If you want your thesis to have a logical progression of information then plan that out from the start. You want to outline your thesis down to small details so that you know where you are going with each section. By planning out each chapter, section, and subsection you will know what to write about when and your PhD thesis will be as focused as you want it to be. This is an excellent defense against writer's block too. If you already know what you want to write about then it is that much easier to just write about it.

Overcoming Obstacles

You are going to face obstacles of one kind or another. Sometimes life will get in the way and other times you will just lose focus. If you need a break then take one and make it a real break. Leave your PhD thesis behind for a while or even for a day every so often if that is what you need to return to it as committed as you were when you started. Don't think about it, talk about it, or plan what to do next during this time so that you will be able to focus when you get back.

When all is said and done, writing a PhD thesis can be broken down into two steps. Create a plan. Execute the plan.

My Valentine's Day!

First of all, I want to greet everyone a Happy Valentine's Day (belated, actually but it doesn't really make any difference). Did you have a big celebration? Well, good for you if you had. In my case, I don't really need anything of that sort. I've read this note over my Tumblr dashboard, and the light bulb suddenly clicked. It went like this:

I hate Valentine's Day. It's not even a real holiday. It's just an excuse for guys to treat their girlfriends like princesses which is b$&lsh*t because that's the way it should be every day of the year.

GIRLS, don't you agree? :] It may sound bitter but at least it made sense. The making up for whatever time part totally got me.

So yesterday, if you are living in my place, was the actual date of our Valentine's Day. Mary Vic, my former roommate, just made my day by coming over. It was unplanned. She was to get this letter from a bank or something. She probably forgot to change her address on the records. :] Well, she arrived here and we talked, and talked, and talked. She said she had a night's duty. (She was a nursing student, by the way.) And she was big on cleanliness that's why everyday after school/duty, she would wash her medical uniforms lab coats. And she would iron that the next day. She's generally a good friend. She disclosed some stuff about her recent encounters, and I did some of mine.

I actually missed having her around. She used to make this room a little neat because sometimes I'm pretty lazy to do that. Effness to me! LOL! I remembered how we used to go to a dentist together. Oh elementary days! There were those dental office uniforms which looked almost exactly like the fashion seal medical scrubs you see on the Internet. Anyway, Mary Vic paid for my lunch which saved me a couple bucks. :]] LOL! The talking never ceased while we were eating. It just did when I arrived in Ayala because we had to separate ways.

Since it was Valentine's day, couples, flowers, cakes, and balloons were everywhere... like literally. It seemed like I was the only one walking alone. Sucks! It would be better if Eugene was also there. But hey, no worries. I felt so independent, which I think was a pretty good thing. I ordered some stuff over Watson's. I just thought I needed those for myself. Needed or wanted, no biggie. I went home immediately after. I can't stand the "things" I saw. ROFL! Bitter much?... Hell no!

When medical care fails...

DePuy Manufacturing started designing and building fiber splints to replace wooden barrel staves that were used to set fractures. It has been operating to several countries around the world. Isn't it grand? The franchise was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 1998, and formed part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices & Diagnostic group.

I've known J&J since I was a child. It manufactures lots of products here in the Philippines. Well, it's a prestigious company, yes. So, I was surprised to read about DePuy having announced a voluntary recall last August of this year. It was about the high rate of hip replacement failure using that ASR system.

Because of what happened, it is necessary for every victim to find the appropriate lawyers for the DePuy hip replacement lawsuit. Justice is what's needed here. They can't just get away with that. When we consider health our wealth, isn't it right that we demand the proper amount of medical care?

Scrubs

I have lots of friends that are nursing students. So I'm pretty much familiar with the nursing scrub uniforms that they wear. And I tell you, I'm not very happy to see it. I've always wanted to have a bright and happy outlook in life. I've always wanted colorful things, and their medical scrubs and uniforms are plain and simple. Oh! What the...

Well, I'm not really sure if medical uniform stores here in our place have the ones that I have in mind. I think I only found them on the Internet, except for those customized medical suits.
I'm a big fan of Grey's Anatomy, and there's this one episode that Derek Shepherd used a lovely medical cap or something of that sort. It looks fantastic on him.

I guess it makes medical people look less intimidating, especially if the doctors or nurses are assigned in the pediatric section. The kids love a colorful sight. Don't you agree? If I were a kid and I look at Arizona Robbins with her clipped-on-the-collar stuff toys, I would be extremely delighted. She always has this way of making kids at ease.

Convenience

We just had our International Industrial Engineering Conference last week. The event was held at Parklane Cebu International Hotel. There were

, I think, hundreds of participants. Since our school was the host, it was decided that all fourth year and fifth year Industrial Engineering students should attend. Plus, there other participants outside the university. You can only imagine how great the number of people who attended it. Well, it was International, so it was a little prestigious.

Good thing the organizers made use of the crowd control equipment/facilities to help monitor the traffic of people, especially during the registration and meal time, of course. Belt stanchions were of great help.

In our school, especially on the main campus, they use those colorful velvet ropes on the entrances. There were no proper gates there, unlike in our campus in Talamban, so they need more of those crowd control equipment. I don't know of those barricades, though. I'm not always there, so I cannot tell. I usually go there during Intramurals week or if the need arises. It's too far from where I am currently staying. So much for inconvenience, I guess.

"My Short Essay about the Philippines"

by Jaeyoun Kim

Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Let me first talk about my country, Korea. It might help you understand my point. After the Korean War, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Koreans had to start from scratch because the entire country was destroyed completely after the Korean War, and we had no natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos were very rich in Asia . We envy Filipinos. Koreans really wanted to be well off like Filipinos. Many Koreans diedof famine. My father's brother also died because of famine. Korean government was awfully corrupt and is still very corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to develop dramatically because Koreans really did their best for the common good with their heart burning with patriotism.

Koreans did not work just for themselves but also for their neighborhood and country. Education inspired young men with the spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform Korea. He tried to borrow money from other countries, but it was not possible to get a loan and attract a foreign investment because the economic situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea had only three factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to

Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a factory. They had to go through a horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money. Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him and cried there as they saw President Park . They asked to him, "President, when can we be well off?" That was the only question everyone asked to him. President Park cried with them and promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea, and the President of Germany got the strong impression on them and lent money to Korea. So,President Park was able to build many factories in Korea. He always asked Koreans to love their country from their heart.

Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back to Korea to help develop the country because they wanted their country to be well off. Though they received very small salary, they did their best for Korea. They always hoped that their children would live in a well off country.

My parents always brought me to the places where poor and physically handicapped people live. They wanted me to understand their life and help them. I also worked for a Catholic church when I was in the army.The only thing I learned from the Catholic Church was that we have to love our neighbor. And I have loved my neighbor. Have you cried for the Philippines? I have cried for my country several times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so many poor people. I have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me sad in the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their country. They go to mass and work for the Church. They pray everyday. However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked to two prisoners at the maximum security compound, and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they

would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighbor. The owners of factories and companies distributed their profits to their employees fairly so that employees could buy what they needed and save money for the future and their children.

When I was in Korea, I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I came to the Philippines, I completely lost my faith.I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines. Street kids always make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia , but there are too many poor people here. People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing has been changed.

My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation.They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there so many beggars and street kids. When we went to Pagsanjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because it would be fun. However, they were not happy after taking the boat. They said that they would not take the boat again because they sympathized with the boatmen, for the boatmen were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it. But my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.

My mother who has been working for a Catholic church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves,we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because all of us are the same and have received a great love from God. I want Filipinos to love their neighbor and country as much as they love God so that the Philippines will be well off.

I am sure that love is the keyword which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from the person. Love must start in everybody in a small scale and have to grow.

A lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let's put away our prejudices and look at our worries with new eyes. I discover that every person is worthy to beloved. Trust in love, because it makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It changes people, contexts and relationships.It changes the world. Please love your neighbor and country.

Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others, we do to Him. In the Philippines, there is God for people who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their neighbor and country. You already know that God also will be

very happy if you love others.

That's all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

Down. Down. Down.

I am pissed off greatly. My other blog, aimeenvincible.net, has been down for 2 days already. Gahd! Two days, I don't have access to it and it's depressing. It says internal server error. Yeah, yeah. I know that. Maybe my site hasn't propagated yet, because there was this server transfer.

I just hope it will be up again by...tomorrow? or even tonight. I miss my blog.

TV oh TV!

Hey guys :)) It's been a pretty hectic week (or life, rather). I'm so excited to finish everything this semester. See, we have this Educational Tour in Luzon this March 22-28. I seriously can't wait. Good vibes, good vibes, please :D

What's up, guys? I've been watching Rubi every night. How do you find it? Me thinks it's amazing. Goodbye goody-two-shoes. LOL! But I only watch it through live streaming. And I was searching for something on the Internet about this Direct TV and I found it through DirectSatTV.com. They have this different Direct TV channels to choose from and it's really nice since I've been wanting to see these programs in my boarding house. You see, I'm always bored. I always run out of things to do during my lean days. Well, lean means I do not pending projects to finish yet.

Direct TV price is so reasonable that I want to ask my mom about it. Please pray that she will like this idea, too :) We have this new house. I also hope it will be finished soon because this Direct TV is a promising idea. My dad loves to watch TV, too. Direct TV has lots of specials. I'm sure he'll love this.

Woman who suffered 18 miscarriages finally gives birth to her a lovely baby girl

After suffering 18 miscarriages, Angie Baker hardly dared hope that her 19th pregnancy would be successful.

But thanks to pioneering treatment, she is a mother at last.

Yesterday, as she cuddled her ten-week-old daughter Raiya, she said: 'She's my little miracle. I can't explain how I feel. I'm overwhelmed. It seems like a dream and I still have to pinch myself. She's perfect in every way.'

Boots

Boots are pretty "in" these days. Have you noticed?
There are different types of boots. But, recently, I've been hearing a lot about these ugg boots. It's actually pretty, and suits very well to the cold weather outside. Also, for fashion! Woohoo.. Look at Kate Hudson wearing a pair of ugg..


It's actually pretty funny because my friend and I went to the mall recently, just to find a pair of boots. You see, I've been trying to picture myself wearing one, and it's pretty like-able somehow :)) I just hope it wouldn't cost a lot, eh? Or perhaps I should try looking for ugg boots sale now.

My Grown-Up Christmas List

This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. Very classic. Very inspiring still.

LYRICS:My Grown-Up Christmas List

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifeful wish
My grown up Christmas List
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up
Christmas List

May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears
For all the thousand years
On mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin
By reaching out my hand

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up
Christmas List

Why does this illusion
Call the innocence of you?
Maybe when the time believe
We can find the truth
No

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up
Christmas List

This is the prayer
That I will keep
This is my grown up
Christmas list
Christmas list

My Christmas Wish-list

Christmas Day is fast approaching, isn't it? And it had already started to get cold. Somehow, I am thankful that there's no Air Conditioner in the boarding house that I'm staying, though it's still cold because there are plenty of trees here..

Anyway, it's only 11 days before Christmas Day and, I think, today is not too late to start my Christmas Wish List. I'm sure you already did yours. Right?? :P Ha ha ha! I know, I'm just late...

Actually, there are lots of things that I want, (oh! I'm sorry, Lord, for being a bit materialistic. I'm just human. I also want things that I can hold.) but let me just share to you my top five :)) [in random order]

1. Mac Book Pro - Well, who doesn't want one? It is super slim, super light, super durable. Whoah! Pure love... Ha ha ha! Is this available on E-Bay? I would love to bid.

2. Digital SLR - Recently, one of my friends purchased a second-hand DSLR (Canon EOS-20D), still in good quality condition. And, mind you, it's only for twenty-three thousand pesos (roughly, 500 USD). Imagine how jealous I was. The market price for that said camera is almost $2000. It's really a good buy. I just hope it's available on some unique auction sites, and it would cost cheaper. *dream on*

3. Apple iPod - I am truly a musically-inclined person. And during this Holiday season, it's really perfect to just relax, sit on the couch and have your music-hungry ears fed.

4. Complete Set of the Harry Potter Series - Everybody knows that I have an insatiable lust for books. I have always loved reading. Well, there are still other books that I so want to acquire, but that HP collection is on top of my list.. Yeah, I have read every book in that series, but I just borrowed. And, now, I want to have my own set displayed on my shelf.. Ha ha ha! Isn't it lovely? I'm imagining it right now :P

5. A FREE Asian Cruise - Who doesn't want this??? Tell me :P

Gold! Gold!

Gold, gold, gold!... Oh yeah, let's talk about gold.
Theoretically speaking, gold is a chemical element with Au as its symbol. Well, Au because it is based from the Latin word Aurum. It has been one of the most sought-after metal since the beginning of the recorded history. Why?... Because gold symbolizes wealth, elegance, and power. In the earlier times, people used gold coins, silver coins, and the like, as their primary form of money.

An example of a gold coin is this....

A Portuguese Gold Coin

And since gold coins are hard to store nowadays, it is best to find the best gold investment company. Oh yes. There are lots out there, but it's hard to find the best suitable one. The one you can trust.
Therefore, it's good to know that there is Gold Coins Gain. It is an Aurum advisor's website :D They're just a call or a click away.

In their site, you can also buy gold bullion there. And every gold bullion coin is, more or less, $1000!

So what are you waiting for? Visit their site now, for more information. Click here. I know you'll thank me for this :P

Mathematics is one of the reasons why students in their secondary level of education fail. Math problems basically need analysis. But not everyone is good with it. Some people are just too tired or too lazy to even think about the answers. Or maybe they weren't trained. Yes, you know what I mean. Children nowadays think more about play and not work. What with fast-evolving technology, it's really hard to keep their focus on the school stuff, right?

Books

Oh yeah! Let's talk about books, e-books, and stuff. Everyone knows here how I love books. It's been my passion since grade school. Whenever I go to a mall or something, I never fail to locate bookstores just to satisfy my cravings. Yes, cravings because, I think, it's what you call for a longing that is so inevitable it could make you lose your senses if you don't get it. I know this is really silly, but who cares? It's my prerogative.

Anyway.. I have heard about this site in which they provide a search engine for PDFs. Yes, you heard that right. And when I say pdf, I mean the e-books. I am very thankful for this E-book Search Queen. They have this very wide range of collection. You just have to go to their site, type what you're looking for, and they'll search the pdf for you. How cool is that.

This is very easy, you know. You wanna give it a try? No problem. :)) Because I'm already trying it for myself.

Business Galore

I am a total couch potato. When I'm at home, all I really want to is to sit down and watch the television. It's really very entertaining. That is really one of those things that I miss from home. You see, I am currently in another island right now because of these studies and stuff. Yes, I really miss being at home. I miss our TV. I miss Chowder on Cartoon Network. I miss Disney Channel, Star Movies, HBO, et cetera. Yeah, the goodness of cable.

Anyway, speaking of television, does Direct TV Business ring a bell to you? Because, it really does to me. Ha ha ha. I've heard about this one couple of times before. And I even considering this Directv Business here. It's really cool. You see, they are even have this exclusive sports programming where you can watch your favorite sport or team play. Yes, no matter what team. This is something that people don't get with only cable.
