I wanted to try out Go Daddy’s Web Hosting services, so I bought a 1 month Deluxe Shared Hosting Plan costing $6.99, when converted into peso. It’s around Php 325. I also bought the plan to temporary host imusicz.net on it.

iMusicz has lost almost 10k of Unique Traffics daily due to downtime. :(

Now I need to work hard again to gain back the traffic I lost.

I just read emails from my Windows Live Mail, and found out that my earnings on Adbrite for 10-19-2009 to 01-08-2010 with an amount of $129.88 has already been processed last February 1, 2010.

So probably within the next 21 working business days,

Hopefully I will see a US Mail from the mailbox of our house from Adbrite.

By the way, I want to share with you the earning stats, included in the email. Hehe.

** This Earning Statistics is from the site www.imusicz.net

Hi Jesse Manalansan,

You have earned a total of $129.88 from 10-19-2009 to 01-08-2010.

The amount listed for “Text ads” may include earnings from Inline, InVideo, and BritePic zones.

Total Amount: $129.88

So yeah, Probably if I earn back the traffic of my site www.imusicz.net, I would probably get lots and lots earnings. Hehe.

I guess this is enough for now..

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao won his 7th boxing title today for having a TKO (Technical Knockout) on Miguel Cotto on the 12th round of the fight, referee Kenny Bayless had stopped the fight at the 2:55 of the 12th round as since the face of Cotto was bloody bleeding and also the boxing shorts of Cotto was already merely became turns red because of the blood that drops from the injuries or damages of Cotto.

Pacman used his amazingly speed and power from both hands to cement his stature as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

Probably if Cotto continues to fight, he could be in critical danger, as since he was already heavily damaged by the punches of Pacquiao. So, after having Cotto a Technical Knockout, Pacquiao wins the WBO welterweight crown.

With the win, Pacquiao upped his record to 50-3-2, 38 KOs, further enhancing his already good going career. Cotto, meanwhile, suffered his second loss and now carries a 34-2, 27 KOs ledger.

One thing I liked is that, even though Miguel Cotto losed with the fight, I can tell he is a good sportsman. He even had shake hands and embraced each other after the match with Manny Pacquiao as a sign of Good Sportsmanship.

Kindly read this news about what happened to Gorres, who is in critical condition at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas virtually fighting for his life after putting on the finest performance of his life in scoring what was regarded as a career defining victory over relentless Colombian puncher Juan Melendez at the Mandalay Bay House of Blues on Saturday, Manila Time.

Let’s pray for his recovery and hope he does fine. God bless.

It’s Another Victory for the Filipino’s and for the honorship of our mother country, Philippines. Mabuhay ang Pinoy!

Clearly proves that nothing is impossible if we do our best in everything we do.

But anyways, did you know that Friday is named after the Goddess Frigga, who blesses marriage and fertility. The number 13 has many associations with luck and good fortune in pre-Christian or non-Christian cultures. From the Chinese
to the Egyptians, and stretching as far back in time to the 27,000
year old prehistoric carving of the Venus of Laussel, the number 13
has been important.

I would like to share to you this Quote, related to the topic of this post:

“Lucky people generate their own good fortune via four basic
principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance
opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition,
create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectation, and adopt
a resilient attitude that transform bad luck into good.” – Richard
Wiseman

Also today, I came accross over reading a article Yahoo! News and wanted it to share with you, title of the article is  Friday the 13th phobia? You have plenty of company.

I also found this information’s and might interest you. hehe.

Celebrate Friday the 13th by:

Petting a black cat! Cats are sacred to Frigga, after whom Friday is named.
Getting a “bakers’ dozen” (13) donuts or bagels in honor of the sacred round “holed stones”, the psychic gateways of the British Isles. Share with your co-workers or friends!
Kiss your spouse 13 times to gain the blessings of Frigga, goddess of marriage.

More 13 Lore to celebrate:

There are 13 Moons in a year
There are 13 witches in a traditional coven
13 Notches on the horn carried by the Venus of Laussel
There are 13 Buddhas in some schools of thought in India
13 original colonies in America
The known universe is currently thought to be about 13.7 billion years old, with an error of about one percent.
There are 13 zodiac constellations, which consist of the 12 signs in
the astrological zodiac and Ophiuchus.
In Judaism, 13 is considered a lucky number. One explanation for this is that the word אחד echad, Hebrew for ‘one’ and thus a way of
describing the unique God, has the numerological value of 13 according to the Gematria system, The ancient Maya used the number 13 in the development of their
calendrical science which served as the basis of their cosmology as
well. The 13:20 ratio expresses the frequencies and cycles of
Creation, now scientifically verifiable through the latest discoveries about the classical period Mayan Calendar.
In Sikhism, the number thirteen (13) is a number devoted to the
remembrance of God, therefore it is also considered lucky by people who practice the Sikh faith.

Cure fan 13 Lore:

The number 13 features prominently in the album 4:13 Dream
The release of the singles were supposed to be released on the 13th of the month for 4 months (although TMU messed this up, despite the band’s intention..)
The song Underneath the Stars mentions the age of the universe several times:
For 13 billion years the view is beautiful, and ours alone tonight…
13 Tracks
13th Studio album
Porl often wears a “13″ button on his guitar straps

It’s kinda similar to x10media’s xTransloader Script, although it uses the alternate or different php function. But this should work, I’ve tested it before on my experiment arcade site, i used the script to transfer the flash game packs (which sizes are around 100mb each archive) which came from another server to my server.

I hope you can find this useful.

Instructions on how to use it are commented on the php file… Enjoy.

I fully recommend this movie to those husband and wife there whose marriage is on trouble on ending up on a divorce. I know its kinda weird to watch this movie since at my age, I’m too far yet for a marriage.  But hey, this could be useful sometime :P – Lol. Hahaha.

The main actors on the movie were Kirk Cameron (as Caleb Holt) and Erin Bethea (as Catherine Holt). The movie was also said to be “The #1 Inspirational Movie in America”.

So here’s a full summary of the movie:

In Albany, the marriage of Caleb end Catherine Holt is in crisis and they decide to divorce. However, Caleb’s father, John, proposes that his son delays their separation process for forty days and follow a procedure called “The Love Dare” to make them love each other again. – from IMDB

… Read the full Synopsis of the movie @ IMDB

Also here are some Memorable Quotes i liked from the movie:

Catherine Holt: So, what day are you on?
Caleb Holt: 43.
Catherine Holt: There’s only 40.
Caleb Holt: Who says I have to stop?
Catherine Holt: Caleb, I don’t know how to process this. This is not normal for you.
Caleb Holt: Welcome to the new normal.

———-

Caleb Holt: Marriage isn’t fireproof.
Michael Simmons: Fireproof doesn’t mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it.

———-

Caleb Holt: If there’s a God out there somewhere, he’s not interested in me and my problems.
John Holt: I disagree. I’d say he’s very interested.
Caleb Holt: Then where’s he been in my life?
John Holt: I’d say he’s been at work all around you. You just haven’t realized it. You haven’t exactly given him an open invitation.

———-

Caleb Holt: You never leave your partner! Especially in a fire!

———-

Michael Simmons: But just remember: a woman’s like a rose; if you treat her right, she’ll bloom, if you don’t, she’ll wilt.
Caleb Holt: Where’d you get that?
Michael Simmons: Counseling.

So overall, If I would rate this movie out of 5 stars… I would rate it 5 stars! Just watch it and I’m also sure you will also love the movie. Hehe.

Oops, before i forget. You can view more information about the movie “Fireproof” (2008 movie) here at IMDB.com – and last but not the least, you can see some Photos from the film here.

1. Top 10 Things A Good Blogger Should Already Know

Today the school had the annual Marian Pilgrimage which is held every October for every school year. This school year 2009-2010, the place chosen for the Marian Pilgrimate site for our institution was the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine in New Manila, Quezon City.

So, there.. we were asked to go to school at early as 6:00AM, since the bus will be leaving at 6:10AM, so everyone should be early. Well, everyone was early but our bus assigned to us did not come, so therefore, we were asked or should i say forced to go on fit ourselves with other buses just to arrive at the Pilgrimage site. Well then at the bus going to the pilgrimage site, it was a lot of fun, laughtrip, and etc.

Upon Arriving to the site, we went to the designated places for our level inside the Shrine. After everything is settled. The praying of the Holy Rosary started, then after it, the Eucharistic Mass started.

And yeah, so anyway, the Marian Pilgrimage was still success. Too bad, i haven’t managed to take some Photo’s since i don’t have yet a Good Camera.

When we arrived back to DBTI Makati, 3 of my friends asked me if i could join them play DOTA, since i have nothing to do, I accepted it and we decided to go to B-Connected, Glorrieta (near Landmark) and we played there.

So there, the day was a lot of fun and adventure, i suppose? Hehe.
