Word Press Essentials

I've come across word press sites and I like their system too. Not that I'm badmouthing my host site but it’s definitely a different world. Anybody could tell the difference because if you are a novice like me then you’re probably stuck with this. Word press has come a long way as far as freedom in template design and user induced content. Comments are also important so they went ahead and put up higher filters so spam messages could be eliminated. Aside from that, they have gone ahead of the pack limiting the advertising content of the host which is not being done on other host sites.

There are also numerous sites where you can get word press themes so you can customize the look of your website. If you plan to purchase your own domain then doing this particular task would be nice if you plan to cater to a larger audience. You must always remember though that commercial wordpress themes are very expensive these days and would probably cost you around $60 to $90. There are some that offer it for free so you should definitely try them out. Web site creators also freely want you to modify their template and you can choose from a variety of colors.

Whitney Houston at Pre Grammy Awards Gala

Whitney's back! And she's good!

It's De javu all over again as Whitney Houston comes back with a vengeance after rounds of drug abuse and an ugly voice a few years ago. She returns with an outstanding voice as critics, musicians and the greatest in the music industry listen in this year's Pre Grammy Awards Gala show.

This particular party was to honor the great Clive Davis. He was the one responsible for the resuscitation of the careers of artists namely Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin, veterans like Rod Stewart and Carlos Santana. The mini Houston concert also had performers like Kelly Clarkson, a magical duet between Jennifer Hudson and Barry Manilow, Stewart, the Kings of Leon, Leona Lewis, and a monologue by the one and only Kanye West, . Hollywood all came down and the luminaries were there like Sir Paul McCartney, Jamie Foxx, Prince, Diddy, Rihanna, the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, Quincy Jones, P.Diddy, Faith Evans, a Gospel Choir and others.

Good thing she came back from drug use and a bad personal life. I hope she picks up the pieces and perform well in the future recordings. That would just be great!

Feel Beautiful Inside and Out

I just got in from the gym and a lot of people were there in a Friday afternoon. I guess they also are like me shedding those extra pounds gained over the holidays. Yeah it’s already February and the weight is still there. Nobody could take it off in a week of course because just like ordinary people we still have to eat. Yo-yo diets abound the regimen of guys and gals who spend hours there but I’m quite optimistic that I’ll still be losing a lot once I get serious about it.

We’ve been seeing posts here in my site lately about medical procedures to make people look good. I’ve got nothing against it really but maybe in a conservative point of view I would not want to meddle with what God has already given me. Sometimes though I keep thinking about the money I spend each month for the gym. What if I just save that money and once I get into 6 digits try other options like liposuction and some non surgical procedure to trim down. I still see Mom’s in the gym that had their nose jobs and you know what done to them. As far as I’m concerned as long as they don’t look silly and it would help them be youthful looking then I’m okay with that. There are those who take it too far to the point of addiction, but that’s just plain dangerous and I would not recommend anyone to do that.

The government is even endorsing medical tourism that includes surgical enhancements. This is also good for the economy because it would cost relatively 90% cheaper here than if you do it in the United States. But of course you should always do it where you’re confident and feel safe. Like the botox new hampshire clinics offers; if you live in the vicinity and know local doctors that can do it for you then by all means do it there. Nobody would want to end up in a fly by night hospital that has no experience whatsoever with these complicated surgeries. These are major operations by the way because it does not only need local anesthesia; it makes use of general anesthesia and needs a couple of months or weeks to recover. Make sure you know what you are doing if you plan to go under the knife. Check out the best doctors and surgeons at http://www.plasticsurgerypa.com and avail their state of the art plastic surgery services. The result is always going to be permanent and you know that. I also wish that no matter what people do to their physical appearance, they should always stay beautiful inside and out.

Meralco Electricity Rates Go Down, Water Rates Go Up!

The Horror Continues!

Manila Electric Company rates will go down this month while Water rates will go up. There will be a 5 centavo deduction per kilowatt hour in the power rates or about 10 pesos for households that consume 200 Kwatts per month. This was explained by Meralco Chief for Utility Economics Ivanna de la Pena that due to the lower Generation Rate Adjustment Mechanism (GRAM) of lower electricity costs because of the worst winter elsewhere in the world. The rate adjustments appear to be temporary as March approaches for the Summer Season so don't rejoice yet!

Manila Water and Maynilad on the other hand will be raising prices in the last week of this month. This is because of the automatic adjustment for inflation at recovery ng foreign exchange losses and does not reflect the basic rates. Manila Water will be raising 12.2 percent consumer price index adjustment and about 1.03 percent foreign currency differential adjustment. Will this mean there will be adjustments over adjustments and adjustments? Hahaha...

Manila Water's adjustment will be P2.27 per cubic meter while P2.81 per cubic meter will be for Maynilad rates. Prices will take effect 15 days from notice... so that started this Thursday... and the horror will start on the 26th.
