Bento Box

The famous Japanese Bento Box is one alternative to making the lunchbox exciting.

The food prepared in there is healthy too especially for those in the lookout for msm dietary supplements and more healthy food choices.

Here is a video that teaches how to prepare a Bento Box.

Not taking into account the time it takes to prepare a Bento Box, I would love to do this for my school children. BUT! even if I prepare their snacks (those that don’t need cooking) at night before I sleep, it still takes me some time to prepare three lunch boxes considering I wake up at 4am. So that means I wake up around 2am then. Oh my!

I would love to try this one of these days, maybe with practice and preparation, I’d get to master the know-how on making Bento Box 🙂

Tahimik

Tahimik

Tahimik na pamumuhay,

aking inaasam.

Walang kaguluhan, gutom at giyera,

nguni’t sa mga pangyayari, imposible nga ba?

Doon sa kakahuyan, tahimik at payapa

sa umaga maririnig ang huni ang ibon,

sa araw naglalaro ang mga paru-paro,

at sa gabi naman, mahimbing ang tulog.

Gugustuhin ko ba ang ganitong buhay?

Bakit hindi, kung ako ay magiging masaya

Walang maingay, mabaho at magulo,

basta kasama ang pamilya at

may internet ako.

Bow.

Typhoon Megi

I know a lot of my FB contacts, friends IRL or virtual ones must have gotten tired with my status updates for two days re Typhoon Megi or Juan.

This is a super-typhoon and I think I have the right, like everyone else living in this area, to be concerned. Here is a photo of the typhoon, category 5 and one for the books as one of the strongest ever to hit the planet.

Scary! And yes, our family was affected by this super-typhoon that seems to be enjoying it’s stay and not moving ahead. Hmph.

How to Make a Friends List on Facebook

I turn the chat button on my friends list on and off whenever I feel like it. Maybe some of my relatives are online so I check by turning on the button for “_____ relatives” list of friends.

Oops! However, if there is someone I don’t want to chat with that I see online (not necessarily from the relatives, LOL), I immediately switch off that chat button where the name belongs to. We’ll just probably chat next time I’m up to it 😉

So, what are the steps on how you can make a friends list on Facebook?

  • Click on the “ACCOUNT” button at the upper right corner of your facebook page. When this is clicked, a scroll down menu will drop down.

  • When the drop down menu goes down, click “EDIT FRIENDS”
  • When a new page opens, click the button that says “CREATE A LIST” and a smaller box will pop-up
  • Click “CREATE LIST” and the cursor will go to a box on the upper left side where you can encode the name of the list you want to use (e.g. neighbors, high school friends, cousins)

  • Once you encode a list’s name, choose who among your friends you would want in that list. There is no need to type the whole name, just the first three letters will help you choose members of this list OR just click on your friend’s name to be included in the list.

There, you have your friends listed in lists/groups, now it is easy to see who is online or not by clicking on the button of the list’s name IN THE CHATBOX.

Beware of Scrapers

Early on, we have been taught that cheating is bad. It is bad and perhaps some or most of us have gone through the consequences of any cheating we may (or may not) have done.

Cheating is evil. It is synonymous with stealing, just as these two other words are synonymous with plagiarism.

Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as “the wrongful appropriation, close imitation, or purloining and publication, of another author’s language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions, and the representation of them as one’s own original work.”

Now there is this guy, a crappy scraper who started copying recipes AND photos of food bloggers some of whom I happen to know. No, I will not link his blog url here.

Proof. First time I encountered and had frozen Yakiniku beef, I looked for recipes in the net and I landed on this page.

Blog featured above had several entries copied by the scraper (whose url I will not post because it will give him more traffic).

I was so surprised to know that several of my friends’ recipes and photos were copied.

I can haz screenshots of this scraper’s FB fan page with a fan base of 900+ Merde! You’ve been had!

Grabe! Scrapers/plagiarists like you are also called ______________.
