@ Daet, Camarines Norte  

Posted by Rick

I left Legazpi City at 10:30 a.m. today. Had my lunch in Naga City, and reached Daet at 4:00 p.m.. The trip was quite tiring. I even fell asleep until I reached my destination. I didn't waste time so I went to the warehouse for my audit so I can go back to the hotel to have some rest.

I just came here at the cafe today to chat with my honey. Had also talked to my little prince through YM voice call. The day is not yet over, but I already missed them. How I wish I could bring them with me anywhere I go. But my profession needs my focus and attention so I need to work hard for my family.

I better leave now for dinner. I have to finish the audit tomorrow so I can go home later in the afternoon. I'll post some photos for this trip. Bye for now!

Karolyne Smith has to live with a permanent billboard on her forehead after she accepted Goldenpalace.com's offer of $10,000 for the 'advertising space'. She needed the money to send her son Brady to a private school.

Karolyne said: ""I really want to do this. To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do. To me, $10,000 is like a million dollars."

"I only live once and I'm doing it for my son. It's a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son."

Karolyne did not take the decision lightly. She discussed it for more than three weeks with her boyfriend Jeremy Williams.

Smith's eBay auction attracted more than 27,000 hits and 1,000 watchers. Bidding reached $999.99 before Goldenpalace.com, an Internet gambling company met Smith's $10,000 asking price. Goldenpalace.com also gave her another $5,000 for her trouble.

Another person, inspired by Karolyne is currently auctioning his forehead as ad space on ebay

Dating Advice For Women: Lighten Up And Give Him A Chance  

Posted by Rick


Contrary to popular notions held by women today that there just are not enough good men left to date, evidence that is available points out that such is not the case. The ideal man could be someone that has a good career as a teacher or electrician and who is over five feet seven inches in height, is athletic or even huggable and who likes to cook, dance and hike as well as watch movies.

Look For Honesty And Monogamous Males

The best dating advice for women would be to look for such men, who in any case are also looking for a loving relationship and who view monogamy positively and who, also pride them on being honest. You would also be well advised in looking for a partner that is not too much older or younger than you since such men would also want the same things as you do.

Another important dating advice for women is to give the man a chance because it is a common complaint among men that women just don’t give them a chance, and it is quite common for men to be refused by women that have sought men out through dating services without even having spoken to the man or responded to communicate with the man any further. This kind of behavior on the part of women can leave men dazed and bewildered and also very frustrated.

The next piece of dating advice for women worth considering is to not judge the book by its cover and look beyond appearances and looks. Often, women may complain that they only are rejected because of their looks and men do not take enough time to get to know them better, and the same holds good in the case of men being rejected by women. The best dating advice for women is that they should select their partner not just on physical attraction, because this a common trap that most women easily fall into and that is why matchmakers don’t show photographs of prospective partners in the beginning.

It also brings up an important point about the cost to women in rejecting men based on superfluous attributes, and unfortunately the cost may be quite high and it is a common reason why they often miss the boat.

It is a much better idea to profit from dating advice for women and expand the horizons by looking for more desirable qualities in men such as finding someone who fits well and who maybe also has a warm heart, or who has communication skills of a better kind. Women should also look for education as well as honesty and because women in this present age are more independent, they do not need to worry too much about emotional support or even the financial status of the partner.

It is also worth paying attention to another good dating advice for women and that is it pays to get to know the man and sharing a glass of wine or engaging in light conversation and sparing an hour or so of her time to know the other person from the inside is worth more than simply accepting or rejecting a man based on his physical attributes.

Today, dating is filled with many opportunities and according to sound dating advice for women, you need not be so hung up on expecting very high standards of the prospective male and it is much better to give the other a chance and even say ‘yes’ when someone meets minimum criteria even though he may not be an ideal person, but could still make an excellent partner. There is not much you would lose and plenty that you could gain.

My Alma Mater - AIMS 'd Best!  

Posted by Rick


It's been less than a year already since I left my alma mater, Asian Institute of Maritime Studies (Pasay City, Metro Manila). It was some kinda mixed emotions: joy and sadness. I am happy for I have succeeded in earning my degree, but then I am missing those times when I was still there at AIMS, busy with my studies and at the same time having fun with my classmates-friends.

Reminiscing all of those memories I had in my college years can never deny the fact that I indeed treasure every hour of my AIMS life. Keep in touch mga pare koh!

San man kayo makarating, tandaan nyo lang lagi iyong motto natin, "In every port, report!" hahaha! O baka iba na naman yan ha! Ang ibig ko lng sabihin ay wag naman makalimot!
