Haha. Got this one from my officemate. There's really nothing to be afraid of. For every bite of banana, you will feel relaxation.
Enough of that funny image. Read on to know the health benefits of banana.
As for my stock knowledge, all I know is that BANANAS are as good as SLEEPING PILLS. I will not even recommend you to eat banana servings if you want to stay up longer.
Bananas are rich in magnesium that induces relaxation until we fall asleep.
Now, let me do some research:
• According to an old wives' tale, the inside of a banana peel makes a great shoe polish for patent leather shoes. (We haven't tested this, so you're on your own.)
• The earliest dessert recipe ever written was a banana recipe--a mushy mixture of bananas, almonds, and honey.
• If your kids have a tough time falling asleep, give them a banana. Like a cup of warm milk, a banana is a sleep enhancer.
• The average American eats 26 pounds of bananas per year, making it our most consumed fruit.
• There are more than 200 varieties of bananas in the world: they come in all shapes and sizes, from small finger fruits to purple plantains.
• The biggest banana split ever made was 4.55 miles long!

When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you ascend the flights. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building.
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
The 1st floor sign on the door reads:
Floor 1: These men have jobs.
The 2nd floor sign reads:
Floor 2: These men have Jobs and Love Kids.
The 3rd floor sign reads:
Floor 3: These men have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the 4th floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4: These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and help with Housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:
Floor 5: These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6: You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just across the street.
The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.
The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The 3rd,4th, 5th and 6th floors have never been visited.
Just sharing this funny truth.Original post is here...

Farewell, former President Cory Aquino... Thanks for serving this country.My sympathy is to all of her love ones, thereby including the Filipino community...
A tearful Kris Aquino delivered a heartfelt eulogy to her mother at the Manila Cathedral just a while ago (Aug 05, 2009 PH Time). She was ever thankful to all the Cory mourners especially to those who attendend the requiem mass.
I've been through the same pain of losing someone, and this event had just reminded me of all the good things my own grandma has done.
See On Her Deathbed...
Salamat at paalam Gng. Cory Aquino.

I choose fixed-price over hourly rate jobs at oDesk since I am a full-time Technical Support Engineer already. Working with Odesk is more of a sideline or creative past time.
The good thing about fixed-price jobs is that you don't have to use the Odesk Application which includes work diary, screenshot and odesk team. This means that you can browse through several websites and do miscelleneous stuff without worries unlike with the HOURLY rate wherein your every move is being monitored.
There is a risk though for accepting fixed-priced jobs.
While the majority of oDesk projects end successfully, please keep a few things in mind:
1. Payment is not guaranteed on Fixed Price Jobs. oDesk only guarantees payment on Hourly Jobs.
2. The Buyer decides whether to pay and how much to pay. Before you start the project, you and the buyer must agree to requirements and a budget. Once the work is done, the buyer has full discretion over whether to pay and how much to pay. oDesk verifies the buyer's credit card at the beginning of the project, though we do not hold the money in escrow.
3. oDesk does not offer mediation or arbitration services. If you do the work and the buyer refuses to pay, oDesk will not be able to help. However, you will be able to leave negative feedback for the buyer.

The good thing about homebased jobs is that you work on a flexible time. There are no deadlines to beat, and you can earn without limit. But how can you maximize online profit by investing time? Simple, TIME MANAGEMENT.
According to Wikipedia:
Time management refers to a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects and goals. This set encompass a wide scope of activities, and these include planning, allocating, setting goals, delegation, analysis of time spent, monitoring, organizing, scheduling, and prioritizing. Initially time management referred to just business or work activities, but eventually the term broadened to include personal activities also. A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools and techniques.
Let me share you the simplest TIME Management Matrix that I usually use to avoid cramming. I have learned it from someone in the Leadership Training.

Just a while ago, my shoutmix widget has reached 10 pages of updates, all new and unique messages. To return the favor, I visited each of the posted URL and typed a message on their chatterbox or shoutmix widget, too. Not only that I can learn from their blog, but it also allows me to promote my site.
Having shoutmix widget drives more visitor because it allows LINK EXCHANGE. Not just a 1:1 ratio but it's like a pyramid concept. An exponential growth! Just take this screenshot for example:
Imagine how many bloggers can see my link and visit my blog!
Here's a technique for a fastest way of BLOG HOPPING.
Use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and enable autocomplete.
This way, each URL you clicked opens a new tab in a single browser. It looks like this:
And, each new tab will have the "Name" and "URL" fields automatically filled with your details. So you can have as many tabs as you like and when you try to type in a message, it will trigger autocomplete again allowing you to select a message from the dropdown list.

The N/A pagerank (grey pagerank bar) might be due to one of the following reasons:
(1) the web page is new, and it is not indexed by Google yet,
(2) the web page is indexed by Google, but it is not ranked yet,
(3) the web page was indexed by Google long ago, but it is recognised
as a supplemental (Supplemental Results) page,
(4) the web page or the whole website is banned by Google.
With regard to http://liezl-read-write.blogspot.com/ I assume it's the third scenario. I then started to update my blog again and became active in forums to promote my site. I don't know much about SEO but here are the things I've been doing for the past month:
1. Updating my blog with posts and other tools
2. Including my blog URL as a forum signature
3. Blog hopping/Exchanging with links
4. Submitting my site to several directories
And the next thing I knew is that my blog ranks PR1. It's not an ACCOMPLISHMENT for me yet though I can say it's a great improvement. Such a long way to go for PR10. ^_^

I received the two packaged envelopes from FedEx and it is addressed from Microsoft MCP Training Center. I like the fact that they are taking care of our certificates from shipping to delivery. I opened it at home and hold the certificate in amazement and disbelief. I was really touched to see my name on it, correctly spelled and properly recognized. Most of my certificates have my name misspelled on it given the fact that I correctly input my full name on the required fields. But here, it is one sure shot! Everything seems to be perfect. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone behind this certificate of excellence... my deepest appreciation to all of you.
Bill Gates' signature is just below my name. Microsoft's official seal is slightly embossed which proves authenticity. I am very happy that I passed the exam and received this certificate. No word is enough to describe my happiness. I really admire all the people who made this thing possible. Along with my Microsoft Kit is my MCP ID and it is now safely sitting on my purse. I am a proud Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist now!

The next time I logged on to the site, what welcomed me is the Purple Hunt Finale. Just in case you're interested, you may want to try your luck and guess the location of the game. :P
Do you need a clue?
If in case the picture of the place is not familiar to you, and you don't want to go through the hassle of searching, just type Taguig City on the answer field. ^_^
SEE YOU THERE!!!
P.S.
Be careful not to get sick or you'll miss the fun. To quote them:
Keeping everyone flu-free!
For everyone's safety, there will be temperature monitoring on-site. Unfortunately, hunters down with fever will not be allowed participate and asked to go home. If you're feeling unwell, or have a fever or a headache, we hope you do the right thing and stay at home to rest.
Thanks for your understanding.
Good luck guys!
