Destination: Portugal

My friend and I have been talking about Portugal the other night. It was a place we wanted to go to a few years back but for some reason we couldn’t remember anymore, our plans did not push through. There are late Portugal deals that we can avail of and we are thinking about it. Hopefully, this time around, our plans will come to fruition.

On The Beach, found at otbeach.com, is a live online search for Portugal holidays, search based on inputs from the searcher. Key in number of people, inclusive dates, etc. and then search for the holiday place you can go to. We’re doing that tomorrow night when we finalize our talks. Want to go to Portugal with us?

Much needed pampering

AventuraAfter all the rounds of partying and year-ending hard work in the office plus some exams at the graduate school, I think I need a place like the Aventura Spa Palace to go to, don’t you think? I can just imagine a paradise-like resort, with the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, white sand and some much needed pampering… heaven! The Aventura Spa Palace is an adults only resort that is on a lagoon style beach. What I want is a deluxe full-service spa which is actually the main highlight of the place.

What with all the stress of December, a much needed relaxation is really my main agenda before the start of the new year. It will surely ‘recharge’ my body and make me ready to take all the challenges of the coming year head on. How about you, want to pamper yourself and indulge in a luxurious spa?

Top Five Dating Mistakes That Men Make

1. Men Show Off or Try to Impress Too Much. Don’t offer your resume, your earning potential, and tell us how you’ll change our lives the first time we meet you. Instead of talking about yourself the whole night, ask questions! Don’t come on too strong right away. Let us figure out if we want to be with you, instead of telling us we do.

2. Men Don’t Listen to Us When We’re Talking. We notice if you stop listening to us, if you ask us questions we just answered, or if you keep interrupting us when we’re opening up. This drives most women nuts! Unless you’re on call, don’t check your Blackberry at dinner and don’t check out other women. Focus on the woman across the table from you and listen to what she has to say.

3. Men Aren’t Chivalrous. The lines here are not always clear. We want you to treat us like equals, but we also want you to treat us like women. It’s nice when a man picks up the tab or makes sure his date gets home safely. It may be old-fashioned, but a number of women report that dating a gentleman matters.

Fearless Mice Cuddle Up to Cats

CatMouse

Fearless, Or Crazy
In this undated photo released by Tokyo University’s Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry Graduate School of Science, a genetically modified mouse stays near a cat in Tokyo. Using genetic engineering, scientists at Tokyo University say they have successfully switched off the rodents’ instinct to cower at the smell or presence of cats, showing that fear is genetically hardwired and not leaned through experience, as commonly believed.

PayPal, E-payments Gain Online Ground

I was adamant to use Paypal about a year ago. I have heard so many bad things about online transactions I was afraid if I open a Paypal account it will be hacked. Worse, my credit card will be used by a kid halfway across the globe.

I guess I believed too easily. Yes, there are bad experiences by others with their accounts being hacked and all. But I believe, Paypal is doing all it can to eliminate these things by increasing the security they employ on their website. That’s why I pushed through with opening an account. Hopefully, nothing bad happens.

Read about Paypal and other e-payments gaining online ground…

Burt Reynolds is an unlikely choice for the role of Santa’s helper. That didn’t stop computer-maker Dell from casting the actor in a series of commercials aimed at the social networking set. In the videos, launched on Nov. 16, Reynolds encourages viewers to buy Dell products online as holiday gifts for friends and family.

The star of Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run isn’t the only surprising casting choice. Playing the part of payment collector is eBay’s PayPal. Dell typically lets customers purchase computers with their Visa or MasterCard credit cards. But with this new service, all payments must go through a PayPal account. “People are moving to using different payment options, and looking at this one in particular opened up a lot of opportunities,” says David Clifton, a spokesman for Dell’s consumer group.

PayPal’s payment service is likely to show up on a lot of unusual sites this holiday season. On Nov. 20, PayPal released tools that let online shoppers use its service nearly everywhere online, even in cases where the merchant doesn’t accept PayPal. Online shoppers can download a toolbar that lets them use a temporary Mastercard number when making a transaction. Payments are then withdrawn from the user’s PayPal-linked credit card or bank account. The payment is processed through PayPal and the merchant never sees the original account details. The system is designed to guard against identity theft and credit-card fraud. “PayPal is the safest way to pay online because we don’t share your financial information,” says Chris George, senior director of financial products at eBay.

Merriam-Webster’s word of ‘07: ‘w00t’

I did not know that w00t is a word. But hey, it is! Nowadays, even the declaration of words surprises us. I have only known this word in online gaming. Have even asked a friend what it was when I first saw it. Amazed the hell out of me when I was told it is like hurray! Or yeah! Haha, what an unlikely word. Whoever made this up is really something.

Consider this…

“W00t,” a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph.

W00t! :)

Refreshing drink

I love outdoor sports. It keeps me fit and it relaxes me. I love mountain and rock climbing as well as basketball and beach volleyball. I also play frisbee and is into water sports as well. These sports, aside from keeping my body fit and healthy, also cleanses my mind of so many things. School and work…

Aside from sports, I love tea with milk as well as powdered green tea. Tea somehow refreshes my body and I know it helps clean the bad cholesterol in my body. Nowadays, it is important that one maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is expensive to get hospitalized. Medicines are also very costly. So be active on sports and drink green tea for a healthy mind and body.
