If you were given the chance to kill me, how are you going to do it?
- Hang on the ceiling
- Shoot with a gun
- Stone me to death
- Plunge with a knife
- Bump with a car
- Poison me
- Push me off a cliff
- Surround me with a bomb
- Burn me

I'll tell you the meanings after...

If all the sciences in the world can explain everything:
Can Physics explain why we fall in love with someone without being affected by gravity?
Why can't Logic help us make things right when we are in love?
Would Chemistry give us the chemical elements of love and its formula?
Can Anatomy locate the scars in our hearts?
Or can Physiology explain why the heart still beats even if it's broken?

Science alone cannot explain everything.

How many blood group systems do you know? One? Two?

Well, perhaps most of you aren’t aware of the other major blood group systems, besides the ABO (A, B, AB, O) and Rh (Rh+, Rh-). Maybe because the other major blood group systems are only considered in routine blood banking when the patients develop unexpected antibodies.

Diseases, which have been associated with the other major blood groups systems, are the following:
MNS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM: E. coli, malaria parasite
P BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM: parasitic infections, paroxysmal cold hemoglubinuria (an autoimmune disorder transiently seen in children following viral infections).
I BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM: hemolytic anemia
KELL BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM: McLeod phenotype was common among young boys suffering from x-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD-a heterogeneous disorder characterized by an inability of phagocytic cells to kill ingested microorganisms).
DUFFY BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM: malaria association
KIDD BLOD GROUP SYSTEM: warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia
LUTHERAN BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM: discovered in the serum of a patient with lupus erythematosus diffusus.

General knowledge of the other major blood group systems is applied to confirm specificity, to assess clinical significance, and to determine the availability of compatible units for transfusion.

Great people talk about ideas.

Average people talk about things.

Small people talk about other people.

But beautiful people never talk. They just make post/s for their blog/s.

Fact or Fiction?

Reading books and magazines is one of my favorite pastimes. It's a stress reliever for me, a proven therapy. But with my busy lifestyle, most often, I do not have the time to go to a bookstore. So I take advantage of buying online. It is very convenient. I can save time, money and effort.

Although online shopping is convenient, it is risky. Because when we say online, it usually involves a "server." Hackers are just around us, spying, looking for their next victim. Once they illegally accessed the "server," we are done. Our personal information will be stolen.

But I am grateful to have known the innovative technology of buySafe's Shopping Advisor that will defend me every time I buy online.



The buySafe Shopping Advisor will protect my online shopping by providing me: a safe shopping portal to gain direct access to risk-free shopping results from Bonded Merchants; a bond guarantee to up to $25,000 for every purchase I make through their risk-free shopping portal; and a protection against identity theft.

In addition to that, their buySafe Shopping Rating will tell me which stores will provide the safest online shopping experience, while I shop through Google, Yahoo!, MSN, or eBay.

So to join me on my risk-free, online shopping experience, just download their free buySAFE application and that's it.

Happy risk-free, online shopping everyone!

I'm not a financial expert so curiosity comes in every time financial analysts will start talking about pegging to the dollar and the like, and the question of "how the East Asia is looking at the euro as a reserved currency."

Since the dollar at the moment isn’t in good condition and Asian central banks at some point are looking for other currencies to somehow replace the dollar, this is a good opportunity for the euro to penetrate or dominate in the East Asian market. However, though the dollar is experiencing a decline, it's still the dominant/reference currency. (Winner: dollar)

And don’t you think it's interesting to have an Asian Monetary Fund? But according to them, if Asian governments would decide to create such, they would still decide to pull only dollar reserves, as analysts foresee it. (Winner: dollar)

Well, I guess the conclusion would be that though at the moment euro is "increasing but it's increasing very slowly." So, what do you think of euro's fate in Asia?

The Internet, in general, is somehow a very complicated system, especially if you are a non tech-savvy person, who wants to start an online business or business that needs the support of the Internet (for promotion). Of course people will advise you to just hire someone, who's more knowledgeable, and pay that person. But in business, though you have someone working for you on the technical aspect, you still need to learn perhaps the basics and then later on, go deeper into the convoluted technical world.

Once you've decided it's time to have an online business, one of the questions would be: "Who will be your web hosting provider?"

It's not as easy as ABC. You will need simplified information for you to comprehend those things. And I know the right place for you to acquire information about web hosting…where else but at Web Hosting Geeks.

I said "yes" to him a year ago, when I purchased a brand new system unit.
>Processor: 1.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core
>Motherboard: EMAXX 945
>RAM Size: 2Gb DDR2
>Video Card: 256 MB 7200 GS

With his sleekness, improved features, and useful tools like my favorite snipping tool (for technical support stuff), I fell for him easily.

However, days after installing him, he's been showing "tantrums" (blue screen) every time I played video or music. So, I replaced my motherboard with Gigabyte (after troubleshooting).

We were doing okay at first but one day, he's been showing tantrums again. I contacted Gigabyte's technical support for some advice. They told me to update my BIOS through the installer they've sent.

He was okay with it. Though he's been showing tantrums once in a while, it was bearable. But last week, for three straight days (or so), he's been "crashing" once or twice, even 4x a day after I reformatted him, wherefore adversely affected my job.

I don’t know what to do anymore.

I "fed" him with updates, "dressed" him with SP1, and "scoured" him every three months by reformatting. But to no avail.

Now, I'm planning to break up with him and go back to my "ex-P." XP has less hardware incompatibility issues (I just thought). Ergo, more stable and more mature, though not so much in appearance.

If he's not going to patch up things with me, I'm really going to leave and replace him. But I love him… we've been together for a year now.

Oh Vista, I hate that I love you so.

Yesterday, my friend asked me of "why women experience dysmenorrhea." Hmm, recalling our lecture in pathophysiology, I answered:

"It's when the arteries in the uterine wall constrict, which causes the endometrial layer to become oxygen-deprived that resulted from the withdrawal of progesterone.

Just imagine when you are frustrated. You're in pain, right? That's how the frustrated ovum (unfertilized egg) feels when it comes out from the uterus to become menstruation (Aunt Flow)."

And I added, "Though dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological problem and the pain can be relieved by taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Midol), it shouldn’t be taken for granted. Why? Because it might be caused by a serious gynecological problem, like a tumor of the uterus or PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease)."

Whew!

Well, any additional information you may want to add that I may have failed to share it with my friend?



***Also, happy birthday to Girlie Naps, a cancer survivor. My friend. An epitome of a true friend.
