I smell fishy
Thursday, May 15, 2008


We had fun fishing the other week. We went to a lake not far from here to get this Gaspereau fish that comes back in the spring to lay eggs.They breed in the lake I believe, then they leave and go to the sea to live and grow before returning each spring. The long trough in the photo is called a fish ladder, and it allows the fish to swim up against the stream and as they do, they swim in little stages up each 'rung' of the fish ladder, then they pause and rest for a while, then go up the next rung.
There is also the main channel, that has a little bridge over it, but the dam by the bridge is to high for the fish to jump or swim up. That is why the government have installed the fish ladder, to allow the breeding process to continue.
Before they fitted the fish ladder, there was a stream running over some rocks that had to be running high enough with water to allow the fish to get up it, and some spring seasons it was lower than was good for the fish, although a few always must have made the journey. I believe that the lake water level was increased by the man-made dam, as there are houses and cottages all around the other end of the lake.
The fish when running up into the lake are so many that as they swim, it is possible to just swipe your hands through the water and catch one! As for what we do with the ones we get, we put them all back, hehehehe. My son Arvin spent a bit of time catching the fish in the small pond at the lower end of the fish ladder, and taking them up and placing them in the lake.

Save Hundreds of Dollars Assembling or Upgrading Your Own Computer.
I believe that it is true when I read somewhere that when gals buy a computer, they take a different approach than guys who buy a computer. The guys, typically, will tend to go in to the store and ask what is the biggest and best computer that is for sale. This does make sense in a way, as the computer that is fastest will be useful for fast running programs for a little longer than the slower computers. But, the days of a 'slow' computer being so slow as to be annoying to use have gone. These days, the real criteria for speed is whether you are using it to play newer games.
Now, the gals, on the other hand, will generally ask what computer is needed for what they wish to do, such as maybe writing letters, chatting, digiscrapping, whatever. So, they will buy more wisely than the guys, relative directly to their needs. The days of going into a store and getting whatever is their latest offering that will be outdated within a year have gone. You can actually build a computer! It sounds like this might be only for people who are electronically minded, but this is not so, and here is why - a computer is just basically a case with several parts attached into it, and some wire cords attaching them together. So, you really can build a computer if you know how to use a screwdriver.
Easyasmypc.com have higher-end (in terms of speed) kits to suit gaming, as well as more basic kits that would be ideal for letter writing, photo processing, and general use for the home. Another option is to upgrade the computer that you have. Again, the necessary items are available, together with simple instructions. It is amazing how much better your computer will run, just by adding some RAM, or memory as it is called.

Need more travelling:)
I've been tagged by Agnes. Interesting tag. This shows how much of the Philippines you've traveled. Growing up with very limited means, means I wasn't able to travel a lot of the Philippines. It's sad, but it's true. Hopefully, someday, I'll be able to explore some of the beautiful places there.

Will want to know how much traveling these girls have done: Juliana, Francine and Inaj:)


My Lakbayan grade is C-!

How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan!

Could change your personality
Hair loss for men is a fact of life for some guys, while others seem to never get affected. It is partly an inherited problem, but there can be other factors as well. Androgenetic Alopecia is the name giving to the common problem - we are all familiar with the 'widows peak' effect, I am sure.So, it is good to know that there is a hair loss product that will combat the effects that are generated by the body in creating the condition.The main reason for occurrence is a chemical called DHT that is a spin off of testosterone. Procerin reduces the ability for DHT to be created from the testosterone.This is done without any reaction directly with the testosterone, which is, as you probably know, the male hormone.

Maybe Someday..
This photo is one of my favorites. This is with me and my siblings. There's 5 of us, unfortunately, my two brothers was denied of entry here. I sponsored all of them including my parents to come. So sad that it happened. I was really planning on bringing them all here. Now my 2 younger brothers are still hoping to come someday. I am still thinking of ways they can come over. I am not sure yet on how I'm going to do it, but I am hoping that all of us will be reunited again. Even if I am married now and have my own family, I still have it in my mind and heart to help my siblings.

Top Ten Diet Pills Out of 200 Reviewed.
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
The top ten diet pills are reviewed at consumerpricewatch.net and the reviews give good comparative information about each product. They use a 12 point comparison system, everything from weight-loss potential through to customer service, and more, are rated.
Now, bear in mind here that it is not just a case of reviewing ten products, the actual starting quantity was about 200 different natural weight loss pills and this allowed the top ten to be a realistic guide of what are the best buys, for the various reasons given.
