Looking for a free anti-virus software?

I had my anti-virus subscription expired last April. And I didn't bother to renew the subscription. (It was already in when I acquired this computer, and I am an out of school youth with no means of renewing the subscription). So I left it with its virus definition not updated for ages and no firewall on.

It was until when my brother was using the computer and he called me because of this windows virus update thing. That offers a free scan and then after the scan it would want you to purchase the one time payment of nearly $50. Wow! Nice deal huh? Still I did not bother to. As I mentioned I have no means of renewing or subscribing to it.

It became bothersome when it keeps interrupting me with a "...moster.spyware... is trying to attack your computer would you want to block it?" and when you press ok it would lead you back to the nearly $50 dollar one time subscription payment or else this moster spyware will harm your computer. And when ever you cancel it it would load for a bout 5 minutes (Meaning I had to wait for five minutes every time I cancel it). I really hate the interruption as it shows itself every 10 minutes while I'm at my computer. Until I asked a few people around a gaming irc channel of what would they recommend on a free anti-virus software. And they lead me to this. AVG free anti-virus software. And when I downloaded it, its better and whats more it's FREE!!

I would recommend this for people looking for a free anti-virus.

Reaction on: Filipinos cutting down on food, says survey

FILIPINO FAMILIES HAVE BEEN CUTTING back on their consumption to cope with double-digit inflation, according to a recent survey by Pulse Asia, Inc.
The survey showed that two in three households (66 percent) were "consuming less of and/ spending less on" food, while about one in four (24 percent) also said it cut back on rice consumption or spending.
Aside from food, Filipino households have also been consuming less of other items, such as electricity (53 percent), transportation and transport fuel (32 percent), and liquefied petroleum gas (31 percent).
Among households with cellphones (60 percent), about a fifth (22 percent) also said they reduced their cell phone pre-load expenses.
copied from: Philippine Daily INQUIRER, August 7, 2008, page 6

I can't put myself to think of what will be the economic situation here in the Philippines in the next 10 or 20 years. Everything is increasing, commodity prices, transport fuel, liquefied petroleum gas(LPG). And what? Jobs salaries aren't increasing to cope up with all the expenditure increase. It's sad to say, but cutting on all expenses is a practical approach for this matter, but it also increases the number of Filipinos being dragged to the poverty level of this country's socio-economic structure. It already had over half the population midline to poverty level before all this constant increase took place. I'm not sure if the government knows what they are doing in leading this country. Or are they busy filling their pockets with peoples money and compromising the quality of life for all Filipinos? (o_O)

The sex scandal

,I used to go to a university. And its one of the prestigious universities in the area. Locals have been amused with the latest sex scandal news. My brother told me some of the details, the rest I heard from the radio and read on the news paper.

Heres their little embarrassing situation.

Subject: A second year male and a first year female nursing student.
Venue: Parking lot beside the college of Nursing building
Witnesses: Some faculty and a lot of students who were having their classes at the time
Time: Between 9-10 am

It was a fair day when suddenly these two horny students decided to make out. Brave of them to do it within the university grounds, beside the nursing building with a lot of classes going on. They had their hormones going at each other. Both of them were having a great time! The girl was enjoying her nice lollipop, undressed, sweating and full of passion when they were confronted by some faculties of the nearby department. Was it human error for them to do it inside a lightly tainted car and when the sun was shining brightly? They hurriedly got dressed, and when they got out of the car, the sound of multitudes clapping their hands was heard. They never thought that their little hot action had an audience. And a lot at that! hahaha mostly students who had their classes interrupted. Maybe some of those managed to record them in their cellphones. As it got the administrations attention, immediately they were EXPELLED!! So ends their shot at the nursing profession. Imagine the shame they brought to themselves, their families, and the university.

Is there anything wrong with sex?
Were they being stupid or ignorant?

Focus on the number one cause of mortality worldwide

Paying attention to the number 1 cause of death worldwide. What is it? And Things we can do to avoid it.

Ok, I was meaning to make a topic about this. So what is this number 1 killer worldwide?
I tried searching some answers surfing in google and heres what I got. According to this site the number one cause of death is Ischaemic heart disease. It is the most common cause of death, and a major cause of hospital admissions.

Ischaemic or ischemic heart disease (IHD), or myocardial ischaemia, is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle, usually due to coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries).

Risks:
~ Its risk increases with age
~ gender (more common in men)
~ Heredity (people who have close relatives with ischaemic heart disease)
~ smoking
~ high cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolaemia)
~ diabetes
~ high blood pressure (hypertension)

Symptoms:
~ chest pain on exertion (Angina)
~ decreased exercise tolerance
~ unstable IHD presents itself as chest pain or other symptoms at rest
~ rapidly worsening angina

Diagnosis:
~ electrocardiogram
~ blood test (cardiac makers or cardiac stress testing)
~ coronary angiogram

*Note: Depending on the symptoms and risk, treatment may be with medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (angioplasty) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).

Prevention:
~ healthy diet (the usual advise)
~ exercise
~ medication for diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure (if you have these already)

Would you wait until you are experiencing symptoms and then decide to stop smoking?

Would you care to see some relatives and check on their health conditions and check if you have hereditary diseases that you should watch out?

Are you living a sedentary lifestyle? Well go out from time to time smell the fresh air and do a work out! Check on your lifestyle and maybe you need to make some changes.

Well its not too late to do these things! Start looking at your health.

Typhoon Frank: Still fresh in memory

It's been over 20 days since typhoon frank has hit the Philippines. And it has left an unforgettable experience for me. It was heavily raining two days prior to the flood. We we're busy living our lives, working out our problems and then the unforgettable July 21st came. The sky is gloomy and raining heavy. It stopped for about two hours and there we thought things could never get worst. It proved us wrong. It flooded, and the water level rose like crazy and most of us weren't able to prepare for its arrival. It flooded our streets, houses, schools, public markets, and people in lower places sought refuge in high places like their rooftops. Electricity and water supply was out. Most of us were up in the second floor of our houses lighting candles, feeling helpless and praying for God's mercy and salvation. We listened to the radio and all we hear are rescue operations being put to a halt because of the high water level.


A lot of people from different regions calling through telephones requesting to rescue their relatives. Hours at the radio, the most sad part of the news was this "A mother clinging on to a tree with her three children. Two were around the ages of 7 and 8 and the third was a 7 month old baby. She lost grasp of her infant in the attempt to grab of the three with her other two children held by her free hand" It gave me the shivers. More tragic reports came that we felt so helpless, forsaken and punished. The flood lasted for nearly a day. Many who are left on their roofs are hungry, wet and cold. Evacuation centers are overcrowding with people. No food, drinking water, dry clothes and medicines. Depending on relief operations from other regions. Typhoon frank left a lot of damages in infastructures, livelihood, and human casualties. Others we're traumatized.

Why are most filipinos going after the nursing profession?

It's been going around for a few years now, maybe even decades. Most Filipino families are sending their children into nursing school. Why is that? Here's a little background story. The nursing profession has been a demand in western countries that it opens a lot of opportunities for the Filipino people. With the high conversion of US dollar in Philippine money, even middle-aged professionals are shifting professions and are taking up the nursing course. Some would say its practicality, and I can't put myself to blame them. With the increasing product prices, it drives people to go for good earning jobs. And good earning jobs here in the Philippines are very limited to company executives and other ranking post. While being a nurse in other countries like the US, It makes people financially ahead than others. Although it gives quite an opportunity to elevate the family status, it would require an individual to sacrifice his/her own interest with regards to course choices. And doing a job you don't like compromises the quality of service.

I am a student nurse. And I can't blame my family in wanting me to take this profession even though I do not fully appreciate it.
