Pimple or Acne Problem? There's Proactiv for You!

Had my share of pimple problem not only on my face but also on my body mostly on the shoulders, upper back and even some on the upper chest. The experience is worsen if the pimples get irritated by impulse scratching or grows bigger than the usual size because of too much accumulated oil especially on the face.

Smoke and dirt pollution adds to the irritation that makes it harder for me to control the itch. It's really too difficult to control myself from scratching.

So how do we take care of our pimple problems?

Seattle's Best Coffee Celebrates A Hippie Holiday Party

Nobody does coffee like Seattle's Best, which prides itself in maintaining and delivering excellence in every step of the coffee-making experience. From its carefully selected premium coffee beans and nurtured relationships with coffee farmers, to the finely calibrated roasting process that produces its coffee's signature smoothness, to every freshly brewed cup, Seattle's Best thrives on a connoisseurship of coffee unparalleled in the industry. The time and patience it invests in every cup of coffee is unmatched, and is the reason why its called the "Best."

Well, its actually not really a blogger's make-over party to begin with.....but it turned out to be something like that in the end.

We were all suppose to be covering an event for Ystilo Salon, but everyone got so excited trying out the services of the salon. So, after getting a few pics of the winners of Ystilo's Get Ystylized to win a Beauty Makeover, everyone started having their own make-overs as well.

We were impressed with the before and after appearances of the winners that we decided to try it out ourselves.

Does Formatting a SSD Shorten its Lifespan?

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Stop whatever it is you’re doing right now, lalo na kung nag-rereformat ka ng iyong PC na SSD and drive), did you know that there are concerns that reformatting may reduce the lifespan an SSD?

I dont think reformating will hurt the performance and it does not shorten the SSD's lifespan unless you are doing FULL format which is Bad for your SSD's lifespan.

Try Secure Erase on them. It would refresh them back like brand new, though others claim there is no significant difference in performance.

I found this link on a website indicated below. Do check it out if reliable.

I would like to perform a format on my SSD. I've read several files on shortening the SSD's lifespan, but never read anything about formatting.
I was wondering whether formats on a SSD shorten its lifespan?

In general, formatting a solid-state drive will not impact its lifetime, unless you perform a full format - and even then, it depends how often. Most formatting utilities allow you to do a quick or full format. The quick format just overwrites the partition and file tables, but does not actually physically delete anything off of the disk.
In contrast, a full format will go through each sector on a disk and "reset" it. This can degrade the lifetime of the SSD. That being said, MLC solid state drives have a write limit of around 10,000 before the sectors begin to fail.
So long as you don't do it often, (fully) formatting the drive a few times won't seriously impact on the drive lifespan.

Election in America : First Time to Vote Here

Ladies and Gentlemen......a month from now....Americans will vote and we will make a big decision on our future...and most especially on our children's future.

Here are some more for those who want truth and not spin.

Bottom line - Over the last 4 years, minorities are being hurt, household income is lower, citizens are out of work longer and we are all a little bit poorer. Is this the change you voted for? I'm praying for this nation will be great again.

God bless the USA!

Yabang Pinoy Launches PHmade: “It’s Worth Buying For”

Yabang Pinoy intensifies its consumer revolution campaign through the PHmade movement.

The pioneering Filipino pride movement, through PHmade, yet again encourages Filipinos to support Filipino ideas, business concepts, products, and services. The campaign aims to educate Filipinos, through videos, print materials and events, on the availability and viability of Filipino brands, and on the positive impact that going local contributes to the economy.

PHmade’s tagline “It’s Worth Buying For” encourages each Filipino to think twice before spending: is it really worth buying for? Yabang Pinoy believes that small things, when done together, can create a big difference. If each Filipino became conscious of where he spends one peso, he will understand how each choice affects himself, fellow Filipinos, and the country. PHmade also aspires to influence Filipino entrepreneurs into supporting local natural and human resources.

Young men with very high hopes for a promising career in the music industry

There's a new band in the Metro, or should I say "boy" band, for the band members are truly young - in fact they're all still in school!

Creating a buzz in the local music scene, for now, but soon even international (if they get lucky), are four young teens in their college years composed of Roberto Sena (plays the guitar and is the lead vocal and likes to be called by his last name), Anjo Silvoza (bass), Andrew Panopio (guitar) and King Puentespina (drums).

Metrowalk for us means all-night drinking and partying in the heart of Ortigas. It is a small but a major dining, shopping, and entertainment hub in Pasig strategically located near the call centers and offices of the Ortigas Center located at the corner of Meralco and Ortigas Avenues. This makes it a favorite dining and clubbing hangout for both international businessmen and the local working class.

Its also the best place to dine as the food is surely comparable, if not better, than what the best restos in town have to offer. Most especially at night when the ambiance is laden with music from a live band playing your all-time favorite songs.

Check out the sumptuous delicacies we partook in a night of fun and camaraderie with friends and colleagues from work. You have to personally try them out to believe me.

Yummy Macapuno From PhilHybrid

I've got to tell you about this Macapuno brand that I discovered during an event that I attended a few days ago. Believe me, its the best Macapuno I've tasted so far....and very much willing to have some more of it even if I have to pay this time.

Yes! I got a taste of the delicious Macapuno for free, and Oh, boy was I very lucky. It was the best thing that ever lay on my taste buds. It was also pretty good on our favorite bread whether the "tasty" or the "pandesal", and even the "monay".

Mikey Bustos Filipino Social Media Tutorial

Wazzup? Pilipinas!

Funny YouTube video sensation Mikey Bustos is out with a new video entitled "Filipino Social Media Tutorial".

The video is a funny satire of social media issues relevant to the Filipinos in general.

Mikey talked about Anne Curtis being the most "followed" Filipino celebrity for having the most number of followers reaching more than 3 million already.

He said "She should run for President". Indeed , 3 million plus votes is almost a grand slam. Add to the fact that Filipinos are more attracted to the popularity of the candidate rather than the educational background, leadership capability, and moral beliefs.
