General keyboard shortcuts for Windows XP users

Posted on | November 4, 2008 | No Comments

Since I’m not busy today and I only have 1 left pending assignment that needs to be posted, I went on browsing some good information about computer basics and will post it right now.

But before I’ll post it, let me ask you a question first? How long have you been using your computer? And if so, how are you going to rate yourself? Is it, beginner, intermediate or pro? Whichever you think you fall, do you know how to use the shortcut keys in your keyboard?

Aha! I got yah. There are a lot of ‘magic’ (I call it magic) or shortcut keys that you can use to make your computer using easier. What do you think is the purpose of Ctrl (control), Alt, Shift, Home, Page up, Page Dn, End, Prnt Scrn, F1, F2 and so on in your keyboard?

Is it just a display? Hmmm, I don’t think so. So let me give you some helpful tips on how to use your computer easier. It may get a little confusing at first but once your hands are used to it, it will come naturally the next time you’ll use your computer.

My Sunday Night Rants

Posted on | November 2, 2008 | No Comments

I am so excited on my new template..yay :-)

After a long nap today (probably 4 hours), I went browsing for a new template for this blog. I feel like dressing up this blog with a new template again.

So I found a really nice one, a magazine style and it’s really cool. I am going to activate my new template anytime next week. I still have to customize it.

How was your blogging day going on? Mine is ok, I went EC drop on my other blog and I found some nice blogs and I bookmarked them :) . I feel so good tonight, that long nap was really an energy booster. I am watching Patriots vs Colts right now and so far my team (Patriots) is doing good.

By the way, did you watch the college games yesterday? Oh boy, I watched most of the games and the best game I’ve watched was the Texas vs Texas Tech. Texas Tech upsets the number 1 team - Texas at the last 8 seconds byt scoring a marvelous touchdown.

WOW, that game was really awesome. I honestly thought that Texas Tech would lose the game after leading for the rest of the game time because they only have less than 2 minutes left and they were down by 1 point. That was also the only time that Texas was able to out outscore them yet  I call it the best one because there was almost no time for Texas Tech to get back.

But texas Tech wowed the crowd by getting a touchdown in a very critical time. To think that they are playing with the number 1 team on that time? Yet of course, they also have the heart of the champions, they were ranked number 7 so they have the spirit to try and win the game.

I’m really lovin’ our weekend :-) . Football is awesome ;-)

Texas Tech upsets the No 1 team

Posted on | November 1, 2008 | No Comments

OMG!!

I can’t believe what I saw in the recently finished UCAAF game, Texas (#1) vs Texas Tech (#7) teams in college football. Texas Tech is beating the crap out of Texas. Texas was almost scoreless in the first half.

Texas can’t penetrate the defense of Texas Tech and leads to their meltdown. I thought that Texas will win the game, they were able to get back and lead 1 point in the last 1 minute and 48 seconds I believe.

When the ball was kicked, they made a 35 yard return, with the rest of the seconds left, they were able to cross the 50 yard line going to their goal and scored a whooping touchdown in the last 8 seconds.

Can you believe that?! Whew. What a good football game. Number 7 upsetting the number 1 team in the league. So tomorrow afternoon, we’re going to welcome another number 1 team huh?

How I love watching football :D

Quick announcement

Posted on | November 1, 2008 | No Comments

Just a quick announcement, this blog did not make it to PPP’s blog audit and it’s fine. I still want to thank them for the opportunity they’ve given on this blog. For a year of blogging with them, I earned $4k+ with this blog alone and it was worth my time with them.

I honestly don’t have any hard feelings with them plus I think it’s time to move on. I also have other plan with this blog and thank you so much for always visiting me.

And to other bloggers who aspire to be a member of PPP, I’d say, why not. Try your luck and best and who knows, you’ll be a part of their bloggers. The opportunity is endless and the experience is all worth it.

See you ’round! ;-)
