I've seen nuffnang among bloggers with entrecard from Malaysia and some pinoys too. And the internet ad company is now in the Philippines. I've came to know this months back but am really very slow at picking up on ads. I have signed up with several ad schemes only to neglect and give up on them.

So this is another attempt. So dear readers, bear with me please. Let's see if I can really earn

Postcrossing - post cards for the world

Pete Rahon — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:19:19 GMT

From Shelfari, I was lead to bookmooch where I came to learn about postcrossing. Definitely postcard is something that I would want to collect and receive. Tatay (father) as a seaman would send us those beautiful postcards of countries where they dock, an admiration that keeps me dreaming and aiming to visit those cities where he had been. Especially Greece, since the owners of the ships he

Pete Rahon — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 03:40:23 GMT

I first saw the issue blogged at Entrecard and was lead to the link of TechCrunch. I went through the comment section of TechCrunch blog and found a very interesting exchange.

So are bloggers becoming cyber-paparazzi, with the photo caption below?

Sobin Park - Woman and Dragon in Love

You could even place Park’s work in the company of some pretty wild pre-Surrealists. Park’s power as an artist is not unlike the effect that Arnold Bocklin’s The Maiden, Merman, and Sea Monster, Carlos Schwabe’s Depression an Ideal, 1907, Mikhail Vrubel’s The Demon 1902, or Jean Delville’s The Treasure of Satan, 1895. It’s a visceral thing, churning up emotion and thought right from the gut.

Last night (27 November), before proceeding to our English conversation session, Sobin and I had dinner at a vegetarian buffet resto, one of her fave places to keep herself healthy. She was introduced to me by my beautiful "Korean agent" Eunyoung.

Then we learned that it was a year ago when she made her first exhibition in NY. Below are some of the reviews of her works.

I visited Collin Campbell blog for his comments and found this thingy so I checked it out for myself. Very interesting though.

So, Typealyzer says my blog is INTP - The Thinkers:

Gerald Celente: Modern day "Nostradamus"?

Another from my email box forwarded with subject: AMERICA in CRISIS:

Another modern day "Nostradamus" . Hope this will not happen. Nostradamus predicted ages ago that "the great and poerful nation from the west will fall not from without (military invasion), but rather from within (financially) .

From wikipedia:

At about 7:30 local time on December 7, 2007 (2230 UTC on 6 December 2007), a crane barge owned by Samsung Heavy Industries being towed by a tug collided with the anchored Hong Kong registered crude carrier Hebei Spirit (Chinese: 河北精神號), carrying 260,000 tonnes (290,000 short tons) of crude oil.
