Text Messages about Nuclear Reactor Radiation Leakage, just a Text Hoax - PNRI

Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) and Department of Health (DOH) in an interview by a local media confirmed that a circulating text message in the Philippines saying to stay inside their homes tomorrow to avoid exposure of nuclear radiation, is definitely not true and just a text hoax. Department of Science and Technology (DOST) also said that it is impossible for the Philippines to get infected with such radiation coming from a nuclear meltdown because the country is in the south of Japan, whereas winds carrying radioactive elements should travel east of Japan. The circulating text message caused panic to those who received the said hoax text message. 

The text message goes like this (In Filipino):

"PAALALA:
4:30 in the afternoon sumabog ung isang nuclear power plant sa Fukushima!!! kapag Umulan dw mamya at bukas, wala dw lalabas.. kung nasa labas naman kayo, siguraduhin niong naka KAPOTE o nakaPAYONG kayo, dahil kapag naulanan kayo, delikado daw.may tendency masunog balat nio, makalbo o magka CANCER"

Kung may nataggap po kayong text na ganito ang sinasabi, wag po tayong maniwala ang mag panic sapagkat ito po ay walang katotohanan!.

Presenting, Smart Bro's Broadbandtest Blowout Promo

Just recently,  I discovered that there are opportunities to earn money online. In fact, online jobs are growing like mushrooms over the Internet through different websites offering outsourced projects to skillful workers around the world. Without hesitation, I visited some of these websites, created an account, and then applied to some of the projects posted there based on my supplied skills and expertise. After a couple of days of waiting, one employer contacted me and gave me some series of tests to determine if I'm fit for the job. I submitted all the required tests and sample works, and after few hours, the employer replied saying "You got the job". Being so happy and overwhelmed, I posted this memorable moment in my life to my Facebook and Twitter accounts for this is my first job ever. 

Now my problem is my boss's requiring me to be online at least 8 hours a day 6 days a week, but I'm having problems with my current Internet connections such as turtle-slow speed and frequently getting disconnected.

Last Song Syndrome (LSS) - I Need You by T3 Feat. Michael Jackson

Last Song Symdrome (LSS) is a phenomenon in which a particular song keeps playing through your mind, and you can't help it but to sing this song on almost every moment for a couple of days or even weeks. Everyone will surely have a piece of LSS and that's include me. I'm a music lover, though its sad to say that the music don't love me in return (hehe). I'm in no particular when it comes to music genre, but just recently I got an LSS with a particular love song entitled "I Need You" by T3 featuring The King of Pop Michael Jackson. After hearing this song played on a local radio station, I simply can't get rid of the song, keep listening and singing to it from time to time. 

I want to make it clear that there's nothing special with the song in terms of its lyrics or the singers whatsoever, I just simply got LSS with such a wonderful masterpiece. The lyrics and the music video of the song are posted, if you want to hear and sing with it, you're free to do so.


I Need You (T3 feat. Michael Jackson)
I need you, girl
I couldn't live a day without you

Well I tried to write a special song
A love song just for you
To explain the way you make me feel inside
Though the meaning may be simple
And the words may not be new
I couldn't make it clearer if I tried

I need you
And I couldn't live a day without you
I need you
More than anyone could ever know
I need you
And I wanna build my world around you
I need you
I need you

Well I sang the words and realized
It'd all been said before
So I tried a different rhyme that meant the same
But it didn't have the feeling
And the first one said much more
So I guess I'll have to say it once again

I need you
And I couldn't live a day without you
I need you
More than anyone could ever know
(More than anyone could ever know)
I couldn't live a day without you, girl
I need you and I wanna build my world around you
Baby
(I need you)

(Oh I need you)
Baby
(Couldn't live a day without you)
(Ooh)
More than anyone could ever know
(More than anyone could ever know)
I couldn't live a day without you, girl
I need you and I wanna build my world around you
(Ooh)
(I need you)

I need you
(I need you)
And I couldn't live a day without you
(I want you)
(Couldn't live a day without you)
I need you
(yeah, yeah)
More than anyone could ever know
(I say it ever and ever)
I need you
(I need you)

And I wanna build my world around you
(I want you)

(Couldn't live a day without you)
I need you
(yeah, yeah)
I need you

Well I tried to write a special song
A love song just for you
I need you
