Ang fraternity sa kasalukuyang panahon ay isang kahangalan

AKRho, Treskillion, APO, Tetha Rho, Tau Gamma, iilan lang ito sa mga fraternity sa kasalukuyan. Maraming kabataan ang gustong sumali sa mga grupong ito ngunit ano ba ang mapapala nila kapag sumali sila rito? Trabaho ba? Kasikatan ba? O marahil ay gusto nila ng maraming kaibigan?

Ang fraternity, ayon sa World Book Encyclopedia ay isang grupo ng mga lalaki o babae na kung saan ipinagsama-sama sila bilang isa para sa isang layunin.

This is the title of the book of Bob Ong. I heard about the author when my classmate Leslie Morales got her copy of Bob Ong’s Stainless Longganisa. I tried to read it and I was amused. It was September 14 when my friend Kris invited me to her birthday bash. An eat-all-you-can at Iron Horse. Before I went there, I dropped by Gaisano Mall to buy a copy of Bob Ong’s book.

My mom is too busy with her work and I think our Internet at home won’t come back. I know it’s hard for me to maintain a blog but I took the risk in getting a domain and a self hosted blog site.

Computer virus is rampant now a days. Actually, it moves fast at the same pace with technology. How do you combat this computer viruses? Wait, before that, what is a computer virus?

It’s a program consist of codes varying from deploying malicious codes in your computer, degrading your internet connection, changing your registry, hiding particular Windows feature, and much more.

As you can see, we use internet browsers to surf the net. Whether your checking your mail or looking for new videos at Youtube or surfing the (ahem) websites. Me? I’ve used 3 internet browsers. Namely Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple Safari. 3 of the most widely used browsers today.

Let me start off with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Microsoft’s “new” browser named IE7 or Internet Explorer 7 is the must upgrade for users using IE.
