Our Clocks go back one hour tonight

I need to change my time the minute following 12:59am tomorrow (Sunday, 30 October 2011) morning will be 12:00 midnight. For the second time tomorrow.

That’s because, across Europe, we put our clocks back by one hour ‘tonight’ to welcome back Greenwich Mean Time.


Why do the clocks change?


The website of Woodlands Junior School in Kent explains:

They've been changing the clocks forwards and backwards in the UK since 1916. It’s all to do with saving the hours of daylight, and was started by a man called William Willett, a London builder, who lived in Petts Wood in Kent (near our school).

UK Travel advisory on Philippine holidays

The United Kingdom urged its residents to practice sensible precautions on its travel advisory.

Even though there are travel advisories such like this of UK then I ask how come that there are many foreigners aside from having a vacation here, they prefer to have their retirements here. violence is everywhere, it's a normal world we have.

Many foreigners living in our country can attest that they enjoy the protection and assistance of no less than their neighbors. Our crime rate is not even a tenth of that of New York, USA. It is just a matter of coordinating with the proper authorities to live safely and securely.

Destabilization plot may be possible

Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV said there may be plans to overthrow the Aquino administration due to alleged restlessness in the military.

For once, I would very much appreciate it if the likes of Sen. Trillanes would keep their mouth shut and avoid conveying irresponsible statements to the public.

Obviously, he is inciting a military destabilization, and in this dire situation of our country, a coup is the least that we need, much less people like him. It does not help in any way or form to try taking advantage of our demoralized forces due to the loss they suffered recently to overthrow yet another president while the insurgents are spreading havoc in Mindanao.

2 Drivers arrested in Chinese girl's death

Two drivers suspected of running over a toddler who died a week after she was struck on a busy market street in southern China and was ignored by passers-by was formally arrested by the Police.

The only reason these two men were hunted down and arrested is probably due to the fact that China is on the world stage, under the spotlights, and everyone is aware of what happened to this child and watching to see the actions taken by the Chinese Government. If this horrible event was not broadcast I expect it would have been swept under the rug as this was only a female and not a male child.

RIP Yue Yue - China toddler 'hit and run'

Yue Yue, a Chinese toddler who was ignored by 18 passers-by as she lay critically injured in the street after being run over by two vehicles has died.

My heart is broken for you Yue Yue... May you rest in peace with the Lord. I hope this would serve as an eye opener to the Chinese government. Chinese are human not monsters so please act according to what you are. I hope that driver will feel the guilt that he could not sleep his whole life. He destroyed Yue yue's precious future and that's very heart breaking to the parents heart.

This poor little girl is not my child but the moment I heard such bad news and seen the video, I couldn't get over of the pain until now. I feel so really bad! My heart just can't stand the pain.

November 7, 2011 declared regular holiday for Eid'l Adha

Eid'l Adha falls on November 7 [Monday], which has been declared a regular holiday.

The muslim celebration celebrated worldwide is a "festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" in commemoration of the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God.

"Eid'l Adha" is like a feast celebration for our Muslim brethren, rich families slaughtered cow or goat and half of it they give to their poor brethren.

Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to put an end

Our country's problems are not just in a single lane. Let's look into perspective when it comes to economy, poverty, social degradation, education, OFW, crises in Mindanao etc... Erap could be the guy in terms of military action against the rebels BUT consider taking a look on the other side. I'm not against Erap, let's not just decide so abruptly because of a single issue.

I think most of the pinoys did not really know the real score on what really happens in Mindanao.

Taal Volcano big sign as enhancement

The proposed Hollywood-inspired Batangas sign on Taal Volcano perhaps the nation's most famous vista by Movie star-turned-politician Vilma Santos-Recto.

Aesthetically, not good. Somethings will just be more beautiful when left as is. And knowing Filipinos' kind of thinking, other provinces will copy it and do the same thing with their tourist spots and eventually, before we know it, the Philippines will be like "signage capital of the world" or "the texted capital of the world.." Our ancestors had valued volcanoes as sacred, for Laon's sake. I believe the Batangas officials can think of better things to promote tourism rather than that.

Gaddafi captured and killed says report

Libya's National Transitional Council claim to have captured and killed Colonel Gaddafi in the town of Sirte, however this is yet to be confirmed.

The UN are still in it for the long run now... the transitional government are put in place by capitalists, they step out of line same again.

Gaddafi although evil had good ideas mainly the gold standard for Africa as an African Union and global economic powerhouse, gold for oil instead of the US dollar which needs to be replaced as the global reserve currency by a basket of currencies to reduce volatility and global domination by the bakers of only a few countries.

NAIA Terminal-1 for sale?

So sell the NAIA-1 so that the proceeds will fund a new airport in Pampanga?

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is studying the phaseout and sale of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 in order to pay for the cost of the proposed Clark International Airport in Pampanga to meet the country's airport needs and boost the country’s tourism industry.

If you were living from the south of Manila (Batangas-Cavite-Laguna), what would you think of it, I bet you will cringe. Before they go head on, they should properly lay-out the supporting infrastructure for it. Like, superhiways or MRT/Rail system that will connect directly to the airport without going through much hassle.... Uh does this also means that the crocs and voltures from NAIA 1 will also transfer?

NAIA is world's worst airport, says poll

Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 has just been voted, again, as among the world's worst airport in a reader poll.

I don't know in what category this survey was made. A lot of lousy and disorganized airports exist in the world. Let them look at the third world countries airports so that they may know how this airports operate. If Philippine terminal is compared with the terminals of airports in first world countries, then it would be reasonable since Philippines could not match the budget of rich countries.

Marcos on 'Libingan ng mga Bayani'?

I am not a pro MARCOS nor a pro AQUINO... but I only have this one question...

Should the late President Marcos will be buried in Libingan ng mga Bayani?

I've made a research on the said Libingan ng mga Bayani and how was this created and its purpose. Here's I've found out:

The Republic Memorial Cemetery at Fort McKinley was established in May 1947 as a fitting tribute to the gallant Filipino men and women who brought honor to the country and fought for the sake of freedom and democracy.

Students on spending recent gadgets

I was just watching a report of the release of the Apple iPhone 4S in London and if you check the video its practically all students, some even walking away with more than one.

When they were asked how much they had paid one guy said the price didn't make any sense and he considered it obscene to even mention it.

Unfortunately most of these students will be the same ones marching on the streets protesting tuition hikes which is for their future and their own good.

The gathering with new friends

Last night we had a gathering of Filipino friends. I had a good time over all and I'm happy to celebrate the occasion because I have met many new Filipino friends.

In this gathering, there are something that I have noticed while having fun with them.

Usually I do have a long night chatting with friends outside the house and extend more hours of having fun.

I am looking for Facebook App on iPad since usually an App is much easier to use and the most simplified than using a Safari browser.

But, I just realized that we don't really need a mobile app for Facebook because iPad isn't mobile. Using Facebook the normal way is perfectly fine on the iPad.

My experiment in Chitika Ads

For 3 years, I have been an Adsense Publisher, and over the time it is my main source of revenue in blogging. I try not to banned from Google Adsense, and I try to integrate my ads in a proper way. They have a lot of rules and I adhere to all of them to my knowledge. I have always liked Adsense and it works quite well for me. 

Recently, just over a week ago, I found out my Adsense was inactive. I feel very disappointing, for several years of taking care of my Adsense now its all gone. I don't know what to do, I lost my £60 every cashout I've made on my blog. It was terrible because the reasons behind of being inactive is I really don't know about doing it.
