Typhoon Ramon - Arriving tomorrow

While Typhoon Quiel is dominating its force in Northern Luzon just after Typhoon Pedring passed, PAGASA warned the people that a new storm will enter our country this weekend.

Reported by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Usec. Graciano Yumul, it will be expected that new tropical depression Ramon will enter the Philippine area of responsibility this coming weekend.

He also said that the said tropical depression soon to be Typhoon Ramon will pursue what Typhoon Quiel is giving its force now.

According to Usec. Graciano Yumul in an interview, "Ang pasok niya Sabado na rin ng gabi, habang tumatama si Quiel sa Cagayan, papasok na si Ramon sa PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility). Kapag susundan po natin, malamang Lunes po maramdaman na natin si Ramon."

Associated with the impact of Typhoon Quiel, officials warned that it will intensify the impact of Southwest monsoon which and that could bring rain in some part of Luzon like in Bulacan, Pangasinan and National Capital Region (NCR).

Toll Vat will be implemented on Saturday

Implementation of the 12 percent Value Added Tax (VAT) at tolls despite of the situation of our country because of calamities all around the regions of Luzon.

The implementation will be start on October 21, 2011 for all passers through toll gates going in and out of Metro Manila.However, it was defined by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Kim Henares that the fares should not increase and also the prices of food when the VAT is implemented on Saturday.

Base on their computation, each mile will only impact 1.6 cents and just .04 percent for the amount of food. Kim Henares also said that if their will be an increase in any, that will be fraud and exploitation of the public. The VAT should not affect anything and that is will harm nothing.

Officials also added that only a temporary restraining order (TRO) of the Supreme Court may suspend the collection and the critics was wrong that President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III can hinder the collection of taxes.

In the assessment of BIR, the Philippines will earn P2.3-P3 billion per year when the VAT on tolls will be implented.

Henares also belittled the warning of possible outbreak of the constitutional crisis ifMalacañang insist on VAT implementation toll. Henares also said that failure to the Supreme Court decision could create a crisis in the constitution.

Nazca Lines – What are they?

The Nazca Lines is an ancient geoglyphs located in southern Peru in Nazca desert. The area stretches more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa. Scholars believe that the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca people itself from their culture during the late 650 AD. The figures are occasionally simple geometric straight lines and some animal like figures such as hummingbirds, spiders,monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, llamas, and lizardsthat can be seen from above or aerial view. Still from this year they are consider mystery as some other people doesn't believe it was created by the Nazca people. It is still in a hot seat and people are still debating whether they are created by the Nazca people or it involves extraterrestrial beings. Many believe and question the Nazca people if they are really the creator of this unbelievable geometric figures because some says that there are no signs of flight during their Era. To create a beautiful line like that of Nazca Lines with huge and stretching size, you may need an aerial help to check and see how the workings of line will do. But some archeologists can't find any sign of flight yet though there are certain evidences that justifies the Nazca Lines was made by the Nazca people which is the tools they used to engraved such design. Nazca people are indeed smart one that some scholars believe that their are some existence of advance technology in their Era. Some says that it was the extraterrestrial beings who have just mistaken as to be their gods that made the lines. Study shows and some other theories refer Nazca lines are made for rituals, spiritual, ceremonial relics, etc. They believe Nazca Lines are used for some ceremonial activity to thank their Gods and to produce some development like increase in crop production, etc. Still Nazca Lines are indeed on the top header when it comes to mystery files.

Apple juice – What can you do?

Thinking how liquids can turn you into such shape, you might prefer drinking different liquids especially juice. There are many types of juices like fruit juice, vegetable juice, etc. But, in the head of fruit juices, apple juice is one of the most popular among others. Same as the benefits of an apple can give you can also benefits with its juice especially when it is pure and clean juice of an apple. You know the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is somewhat true because of its benefits to our body.

Unlike the apple itself, apple juice can be more beneficial than the fruit itself. The juice of an apple contains such chemicals which are very healthy and beneficial to our body like the flavonoid. Here are some benefits that apple juice can give to you:

Loss weight. Fruits are very versatile in every diet that is why apple is one factor to reduce your total weight. There is a study that a person who eat three pieces of apple during his/her diet has the chance to lose weight faster than a person who doesn’t eat any other fruit during his/her diet. The juice of an apple burn some cholesterol in less range of time but very beneficial if often include in every diet.

Strengthen bones. The content of the juice of an apple has boron that can strengthen your bones. There are researches that a flavonoid called phloridzin can help decrease the risk of a person to osteoporosis especially for woman who are very prone to this kind of disease.

Prevents asthma. Asthma can be prevented in chance by drinking apple juice. Another research shows that a person with asthma who drank apple often or drank apple every day decreases the chance to suffer wheezing than other person who just eat apple in one day or two. A pregnant woman might also prevent her child in exposing to asthma by drinking juice during her pregnancy days before the birth.

Prevents cancer. Apple juice is one of the best ways to prevent different cancer diseases like liver cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, etc. The juice of an apple gives a person a high percentage protection to prevent cancer cells emerging in some parts of a person’s body. Scientist believe that it is the flavonoids, which found in an apple juice that gives a person the protection and help fight cancer cells.

What fast food chicken order that doesn’t name a part of the chicken’s body?

When ordering a food from a fast food chain, we know that chickens are one of the most popular orders and that is probably love by the customers. We love chicken in different recipes and in different ways.

All parts of the chicken are all valuable in cooking, including the head, neck, breast, wings, legs and even the internal organs. Here in the Philippines, the head of the chicken are usually cook and sold in the streets which is actually very attractive because of the native taste itself. Also the chicken neck, it is also sold in the streets and has its own native taste. Same with the internal organs, the liver and the intestines and even the blood and heart are used in cooking different recipes here in our country. They are commonly fried, adobo, barbequed, etc.

Unlike the chicken head, neck and internal organs, the chicken breast, wings and legs are often used is main recipes and often sold in many different fast food chains. We all know that these parts of chicken are very meaty and that is why beloved by customers. I am thinking what fast food chicken order that doesn’t name a part of the chicken’s body because all we order named chicken legs, fried chicken wings, etc. These foods are some that you can order in a fast food that doesn’t name a part of the chicken’s boy:

Chicken Nuggets. They are the most popular chicken food order all out fast food chains in many different places around the world. Some fast foods have their unique cuisines for chicken nuggets but same taste as it is from the chicken. Chicken nuggets are just like chicken meat but is enhanced and absorbed by the chicken taste and normally shaped in different sizes like stars, heart, circles, squares, numbers, letters, etc. There are lot of food companies that makes chicken nuggets but different in taste from others.

Chicken Strips. This must be the second that you might often see people ordered in some fast food chicken shops. Chicken strips are made from chicken meat in many parts of chicken’s body. Cut with strips and cook with a delicious recipe, chicken strips can be more popular in taste than that of fried chicken legs or chicken wings. Not all fast food chicken shop sell chicken strips not because of the demand but maybe with some factors because chicken meat is such a demand in food industry.

Chicken Fingers. This food is just like fingers but flavoured with chicken mainly. There are some fast food chains that don’t sell chicken fingers in a reason that they don’t know how to make it. You know that chicken fingers are just a recipe so why can’t they make chicken fingers out of their kitchens so people will discover some new taste and food from a chicken. Fast food chain that sells chicken food are greatly sell part of chicken’s body but not of chicken fingers.

What weather terms that can also describe your wife?

Weather terms are preferred terms to describe the condition of weather. You can actually describe the weather depends on how are you experiencing with it whether it is rainy, sunny, etc. Generally, weather depends on the four seasons but in some cases there are weather conditions which is not appropriate or not in the right season. For example, it is actually summer but the weather seems to be rainy. This condition is normal due to the different changes in our climate because of various factors and conditions.

In our daily activities, socializing to others, we may take used of some weather terms not to describe the weather but to describe such things ironically. For example, how do you describe your hairstyle? Is it rainy because it looks like so wet? Is it sunny because it badly needs a wash because of its dryness? There are many weather terms you can describe in many things around but here, am I thinking what weather terms that you can also describe your wife or your partner?

Hot. This weather term must be the top of the list if you would like to describe your wife. Actually, not all of us are blessed with a beautiful and sexy partner but most of us do. I am too young to think of more intimate relationships but I am writing this for the sake of fun. You can always broadcast the weather term hot in your house when you actually have this kind of wife. But what do you think actually that gives your wife the elements of being hot as of a weather term? You might think of the curves and the shapes actually that makes her hot. This weather term actually describes the physical matter of your wife but doesn’t mean actually that she is really hot as a sun.

Stormy/Violent. This weather term may be on the top that you can suggest or either the second on the list. From now, we are through from giving a weather term for their physical characteristics and now giving the weather term for their hidden emotional matters. You can describe your wife as a stormy or violent because of her attitude of being loud and mad though not all the time but it seems to be all the time. The weather term violent is perfect for those who have their wife being mad and physical that the worst case is that she might be the cause of your early death. Stormy term is for those who have their wife being loud and throws all things she can grab when mad.

Gloomy. Another weather term to describe the physical characteristic of your wife is to call her gloomy. From the word itself gloomy, refers to her facial matters. Normally when unexpected time comes and you obviously notice the gloom in her face, which is jaw-dropping moments, you might praise her and say her this weather term. You can say this every time not just when the time comes that she just fix and renew something from her. It actually adds some spark to girls when you said something that can flatten them like this weather term gloomy.

Cold/Icy. This is not another physical matter to place a term for. This weather term cold or icy refers to the condition between partners which is near divorce or separation. Cold as it gives the meaning to relationships, the sweetness to each other are fading or just taken away and turn them two to a please-save-our-relationship condition. You know what I’m talking about, is that your wife lost her trust, sweetness, time, etc. for you and then she just turned like a banshee or a wailing spirit around your house. This weather term refers more to a emotional condition and social understanding.

Photography

Modern cameras have several features that help photographers control their results under widely varying conditions. Learn more about using aperture size and shutter speed to produce better images.

Anatomy of a camera

When you take a photograph, the film in your camera is exposed to light. The quality of your photograph depends on how much light reaches the film and how long the film is exposed to light. Two camera controls aperture size and shutter speed affect the exposure.

Lens aperture

The size of a camera’s aperture regulates how much light reaches the film. As you increase the aperture size, you increase the amount of light that can reach the film. Aperture size also determines a photograph’s depth of field that is how many object at varying distances remaining in focus. Smaller aperture size produces greater depth of field, more objects remain in focus.

Shutter speed

The camera’s shutter speed also controls exposure. A slow shutter speed allows more light to reach the film resulting to uneven effect of light to the photograph which is usually more exposed to light. An average shutter speed controls the light to reach the film resulting to a clear distribution of light to the photograph. Shutter speed also controls the appearance of moving objects in the photograph. Fast moving objects appear blurred in the photograph is taken with a slow shutter speed.

Exposure is determined by the combination of the aperture size and the shutter speed. The two controls act together to produce the final image.

What would a taxi driver have to stop doing in order to become a respectable hearse driver?

Taxi is one of the fastest ways of transportation we can afford today. There are other ways of transportation but taxis are more benefits to give us like they are air-conditioned cars which gives us a warm comfortable atmosphere around while travelling, taxi drivers know the fastest way to get into such place, they know how to accompany with his customers, they are more reliable and know how to manage things when an undesirable thing happens. Taxi drivers are always everywhere in the city because having your taxi is a business and a job. This job needs some attitude and other good characteristic in able to earn not just money but respect and honour.

Some other taxi drivers just wanted to earn money so they don’t care about the customer’s personal and private things. They just care about their money, nothing at all. Some bad taxi drivers can caused you trouble like you’ll be robbed, you’ll get involve in a road accident, etc. Some just don’t have all the attitude you are looking for a taxi driver because they are just taxi drivers and don’t really know and don’t really care about their job. Some does really bad habits during a course or travel. But what would a taxi driver have to stop doing in order to become respectable one?

Fast/Reckless. Being fast/reckless driver shows that they are not concerned with their customers. There must be a reason why they were doing these things: they found some fun while driving in a fast speed and that they forget to accompany their customers, they want to serve and take their customers in their course fast and reckless so they can pick up another customer, they are running for something that their job will be ruined, etc. In short, most of these fast and reckless taxi drivers are just after their customer’s money. Like I said recently, most of them are not concerned just to take them and leave with their money. They don’t think the possibilities when doing this fast and reckless attitude. They didn’t know they could be involve in an accident or imprisoned in jail for years. If they just could stop being reckless and fast, road accident will decrease in percentage involving taxis and they can earn respect from their customers.

Charging Fare. This is the worst attitude a taxi driver can have. Charging fare to customers is not a fair act between a driver and its customer. There are cases that a driver can charge or add fares because of inevitable economic conditions but it is really obvious that they just want some money if they charge fare that is not conditionally stated by some organizations. This attitude must be change in a taxi driver if he wanted to be a respectful one. The customer should have been threaten with a good service and must have a good satisfaction. You are not fast and reckless driver but you are charging fares so you are still a bad taxi driver. In this case, a taxi driver with this condition is still after the customer’s money though a part of strategic earning but still a bad way for any taxi drivers. I experienced that sometimes but still there are still taxi drivers that are honest with their profession.

Picking people up. We know that taxis are hired for private transportation and that is somewhat exclusive. You know what really makes a taxi driver not respectful is that they still picking up people even if there is already a passenger or a customer inside the car. I knew this situation that if you ride a taxi at your own and you wanted and expected to take your course alone then suddenly the taxi driver slows down aside to pick up another person with the same route as you. This is actually one of the worst things may happen to you as a customer of taxi. You hire a taxi to take you on your privately then the taxi driver want to earn some more that they will pick up another person to take along with you. Sometimes these people are their relative or friends but sometimes you don’t care about that, you just wanted to take you on our route alone. Still this habit must be change to earn some respect with people.

What things you like to have of your own instead of borrowing when staying at someone’s house?

Whenever I would be planning to have a stay into another house, mostly in my relatives’ I actually have a lot of things to keep and manage so that I wouldn’t have any problem when I am staying in there. We learn to pack our own things whenever we have to stay at someone else’s house and these things are our personals. We used to prepare and pack things depending on how long we will be staying there. Sometimes there are other persons that always have a lot of things to pack and prepare even though these persons are just staying for a day or a night. That was their attitude sometimes while there are some that doesn’t need a thing or just packing the things in need. There are persons doesn’t need anything or they are packing nothing because all their need is already in the house were these persons are staying.

When we think of packing our things, we always choose the things we will probably often use. We don’t want actually to borrow some things when we already into the house where were staying. But when staying at someone’s house, what things you like to have of your own instead of borrowing?

Toothbrush. We always used to pack a toothbrush in our bag whenever we are staying into someone else’s house. Of course you don’t want to borrow toothbrush to any person in that house that would be disgusting. Toothbrush is one of our belongings which should be personal means every person must have their own. You own your toothbrush I own mine. We also know the risk of using someone else’s toothbrush that it can cause some undesirable diseases. When using someone else’s toothbrush you just allow too to transfer some bacteria the owner of that toothbrush you are using has. Or in other case, you can think you just have a kiss to that person, doesn’t matter man to man, woman to woman. There are cases that we borrow a toothbrush just to clean are teeth but I refer not to borrow a toothbrush to someone else’s because it is much safer even if you will brush for a second.

Clothes. My mother doesn’t want me to borrow some clothes to my younger brother even if it is just a jacket. I told her that I will just use it for an hour but she still refuse. When I ask her why, she told me that I am risking my body to allow some harmful and not harmful bacteria to come. She is definitely right so I have to agree with her. When staying at someone else’s house, I always prefer to pack my own clothes to use when staying there. I always reminded with my mother’s words when I don’t have a clothes and tempted to borrow to others. I prefer not to borrow any clothes to others than to allow millions of bacteria to enter my whole body. I don’t change clothes if I don’t have any more clothes to wear so I always wash my clothes weekly. It’s just like a toothbrush though clothes are light when it comes to expose you to millions of bacteria. Washing clothes do not clean and wash away all of bacteria though it does to some but it not clearly clean the whole cloth.

Soap.  Sometimes there are things that we consider clean but is also the dirtiest among others. Soap as we consider being a cleaner with its ability to wash away dirt and bacteria can be the way also to transfer the same dirt and bacteria to others. Sometimes we are not bothering by this thing but a small one can affect a whole thing or body. Some bacteria and dirt does not kill by soap though washes away from one’s body. These bacteria and dirt are then stuck to the soap because of its sticky form when activated in water. In this way, the soap now is the way to cause a disease. That is why when staying in someone else’s house, I prefer to buy your own soap for your own use and do not borrow some soap to others that it may cause some disease. Remember that you come to a house clean and healthy and don’t want to leave there with some itchy things anywhere on your body.
