In my previous post entitled, Five Immediate Things that I Do after losing a Job, I considered "Stay Healthy by Being Emotionally Strong" as one of the five things that I am going to do immediately. I am committed to do just that, because we can not afford to get sick. Stress is the most common cause of some major illnesses in our world today. So, we need to be emotionally strong.
In doing so, I am glad that I stumbled a site which offer a free download of audio and online lessons for the basic technique and method of creative visualization - The Silva Centering Exercise. This is not just any technique or exercise. But this is from the most world renowned - Silva Method. And to top it all, it is not just offered from anybody else out there, but from Laura Silva herself, the daughter of the illustrious founder, Jose Silva—who people credit as a the father of modern meditation.
Yes, I am glad because I am a firm believer of the Power of the Mind. I even bought one of the books of Jose Silva - the Silva Mind Control Method - when I was in college. Basically, the book teaches about positive thinking, giving you instructions on active meditation and creative visualization. It teaches you on how to expand your mind to increase your intelligence, improve your memory, develop ESP, heal your injuries and disease, and even heal others.
Anyway, the best thing that I got from this site is the free audio download of The Silva Centering Exercise; which gives you the step by step guide in reaching to your "alpha level" (a semi-conscious dream state), where you can create a positive self-image, and turn it into reality. I guarantee you, that when you able to listen to this audio you will be amazed how fast you could get into the "alpha level". I could not get into it just by reading that book since college. I have difficulties in my concentration. But now, wow! It is simply amazing.
So with the help of this audio -The Silva Centering Exercise, I am confident that I could Stay Healthy using Visualization with Silva Method. "...And melt away stress, once and for all." Who knows I can use the same technique during my job interview. How about you? Why not try this free audio from Silva Method.
STENTOR means somebody with a loud powerful voice
Stay Healthy using Visualization
Horse with a Name
Maybe the new chairman will sing the song of America entitled "Horse with No Name..." but the lyrics will be slightly changed specially in the chorus and it goes like this:
You see I've been through the village
using horse with my name
It felt good to be out to campaign
In the village they can remember my name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give me no win
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,la,la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,la,la

ABS-CBN TV Patrol: Malu Fernandez Resigns
Below is that particular ABS-CBN's TV Patrol News that caught my attention. Already in Youtube courtesy of kukote:
A Manila Standard columnist, Malu Fernandez, who wrote an article entitled “From Boracay to Greece” and published in the People Asia magazine.
However I forgot that the hub was in Dubai and the majority of the OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) were stationed there. The duty-free shop was overrun with Filipino workers selling cell phones and perfume. Meanwhile, I wanted to slash my wrist at the thought of being trapped in a plane with all of them.While I was on the plane (where the seats were so small I had bruises on my legs), my only consolation was the entertainment on the small flat screen in front of me. But it was busted, so I heaved a sigh, popped my sleeping pills and dozed off to the sounds of gum chewing and endless yelling of “HOY! Kumusta ka na? At taga sann ka? Domestic helper ka rin ba?” Translation: “Hey there? Where are you from? Are you a domestic helper as well?” I though I had died and God had sent me to my very own private hell.On my way back, I had to bravely take the economy flight once more. This time I had already resigned myself to being trapped like a sardine in a sardine can with all these OFWs smelling of AXE and Charlie cologne while Jo Malone evaporated into thin air.
As I type this, I’d like you to know that it’s not about whining, complaining and bitching but just stating the facts. Just recently, I wrote a funny article in my magazine column and my friends thought it was hilarious. It was humorous and quite tongue-in-cheek, or at least I thought so, until the magazine got a few e-mails from people who didn’t get the meaning of my acerbic wit. The bottom line was just that I had offended the reader’s socioeconomic background. If any of these people actually read anything thicker then a magazine they would find it very funny. Most people don’t get the fact that they need bitches like me to shake up their world, otherwise their lives would be boring and mediocre. I obviously write for the a certain target audience and if what I write offends you, just stop reading.Although it may sound elitist to you the fact is this country is built on the foundation of haves, have-nots and wannabes. One group will never get the culture of the other. Although I could mention that it is easier to understand someone who has a lower socioeconomic background that would entail a whole other page and frankly I don’t want to be someone to bridge the gap between socioeconomic classes. I leave that to the politicians in my family who believe they can actually help. Now I seriously ask you, am I being a diva or are people around me just lacking in common sense? Perhaps it’s a little of both!

The GrapeBunch Includes Stentorized Blogging
creative consultancy pool that aids aspiring entrepreneurs out to the fields of the market to get the dream done. A place to help get things done.
When I explore the GrapeBunch to look for the word stentorized it again surprises me because it is not just a word that being used but the whole link of this blog under its post "Blog on Blogs". And that post is the official entry to the project on the search for "Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2007". It did not only surprised me but it flatters me also. I just could not believe that somebody like Gwen, who facilitates business matching and networking. A member of various social and business groups and coordinate business projects, will personally choose this blog as one of the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2007. It is a great honor indeed. And I thank Gwen for that.
Well, this whole experience gave me an idea and encouragement to join the contest as well. And also, this is my way of showing my support to Gwen's group and their advocacy to unite and expand the network of filipino bloggers. Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino Bloggers!

Tomorrow is a great Equalizer
The filipino people will vote for 12 national senators among the 36 running. And at the same time will vote also for governors, mayors, congressman and etc. for their own respective localities.
As the report says, this is the most number of election related violence and death that is recorded in history. Also, this is the most expensive elections when it comes to expenses that incurred by all the politicians specially at the senatorial level. The amount combined is so staggering that it reached to a more than One billion pesos.
This expenses are so astonishing and it is sad to note because in reality a lot of filipino people at present have nothing or less food to eat as required for a human being.
But, anyway this post is about tomorrow as a great equalizer. It is because of the fact that people from all walks of life has only one vote to cast. May he be a billionaire,an executive, a businessman, a farmer, a vagrant and etc. everybody has only one vote. Nobody has a privilege to cast a vote more than once.
This is the other side of my stentorized blogging. This is the reality of tomorrow's election. And this is the bright side. This is a reminder to all of us that in an unfair world we live in there are events in our lives, whether we like it or not, we become evenly equal with our fellow beings.
So to all my fellow countrymen, I ask you to vote wisely! God Bless Us All and our country the Philippines.
Warning: Drive-by Downloads to Infect PC's
One in 10 web pages scrutinised by search giant Google contained malicious code that could infect a user's PC.
Researchers from the firm surveyed billions of sites, subjecting 4.5 million pages to "in-depth analysis".
About 450,000 were capable of launching so-called
"drive-by downloads", sites that install malicious code, such as spyware, without a user's knowledge.
A further 700,000 pages were thought to contain code that could compromise a user's computer, the team report.
To address the problem, the researchers say the company has "started an effort to identify all web pages on the internet that could be malicious".
Phantom sites
Drive-by downloads are an increasingly common way to infect a computer or steal sensitive information.
They usually consist of malicious programs that automatically install when a potential victim visits a booby-trapped website.
"To entice users to install malware, adversaries employ social engineering," wrote Google researcher Niels Provos and his colleagues in a paper titled The Ghost In The Browser.
The vast majority exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser to install themselves.
Some downloads, such as those that alter bookmarks, install unwanted toolbars or change the start page of a browser, are an annoyance. But increasingly, criminals are using drive-bys to install keyloggers that steal login and password information.
Other pieces of malicious code hijack a computer turning it into a "bot", a remotely controlled PC.
Drive-by downloads represent a shift away from traditional methods of infecting a computer, such as spam and email attachments.
Attack plan
As well as characterising the scale of the problem on the net, the Google study analysed the main methods by which criminals inject malicious code on to innocent web pages.
It found that the code was often contained in those parts of the website not designed or controlled by the website owner, such as banner adverts and widgets.
Widgets are small programs that may, for example, display a calendar on a webpage or a web traffic counter. These are often downloaded from third-party sites.
The rise of web 2.0 and user-generated content gave criminals other channels, or vectors, of attack, it found.
For example, postings in blogs and forums that contain links to images or other content could unwittingly infect a user.
The study also found that gangs were able to hijack web servers, effectively taking over and infecting all of the web pages hosted on the computer.
In a test, the researchers' computer was infected with 50 different pieces of malware by visiting a web page hosted on a hijacked server.
The firm is now in the process of mapping the malware threat.
Google, part of the StopBadware coalition, already warns users if they are about to visit a potentially harmful website, displaying a message that reads "this site may harm your computer" next to the search results.
"Marking pages with a label allows users to avoid exposure to such sites and results in fewer users being infected," the researchers wrote.
However, the task will not be easy, they say.
"Finding all the web-based infection vectors is a significant challenge and requires almost complete knowledge of the web as a whole," they wrote.
