A New Tower, A New Record



Burj Khalifa, formerly known as Burj Dubai, was named as the new world's tallest tower. This was revealed and inaugurated today in Dubai.

This tower is said to embody Dubai's goals for the next years.

Happy Birthday, Sir Isaac!


It seems to be some kind of blind trick, but I just saw Google's 'falling apple' logo now, while I have been awake wandering around since midnight!

But anyway, the gravitational force today caught my eye. And today, the Google UK and main Google celebrates Sir Isaac Newton's birthday. I won't be too long on researching for now, but let me tell you a secret...I'm a fan of Newton!

Oh, it's 2:10 already. Time to got to bed! Good night! I mean...Good morning!

Pacman beats Mario on Most Recognized Video Game Character


From Yahoo! Videogames

Who's the most recognizable character in video games? Nintendo legend Mario? Helmeted Halo lead Master Chief? Football legend John Madden? No -- according to the 2010 Gamers' Edition of the Guinness book of world records, ever-hungry retro icon Pac-Man edges the win.
Among the other nuggets of gaming trivia revealed by the 2010 edition: the biggest-selling video game of all time (Wii Sports, at over 43 million), the largest collection of Pokemon merchandise -- 12,113 unique items, in the collection of one Lisa Courtney -- and the most popular puzzle game of the century: Bejeweled. Naturally.
It also lists the world record for the longest time spent playing a massively-multiplayer online game: Sara Lhadi, who spent the equivalent of 700 days playing Runescape between November '04 and October '09. That works out to over 9 hours a day. Now that's commitment...or insanity. Or both. Probably both.

Review: Watch-Movies-Online

Review: If you want to watch free movies, this is the best one for you! Watch-Movies-Online.net provides the best sources for the recent and old movies. You will find here rare movies foreign and US. This website doesn't require any registration, or anything. If you would like to comment, registration is required.

The movies are mostly DivX, which is a web player with really high definition, but sometimes irritating. In the other hand though, DivX files can also be downloaded and will be saved as .avi. Sometimes when you click the download button, the movie always play to your browser, which is really  not your choice, so I recommend right-clicking the "Download" button, and click "Save link as...".

You can always find which source is working and not working by looking at the bottom of the source. Some movies don't have any source or have poor sources, so I recommend watching on Youtube by searching in "[movie name] part 1". It is the trick!

Example


Fascinating facts:
  • Movies released recently are uploaded to this website at least within 24 hours!
  • Old classics are here too, uploaded in high definitions, such as To Kill A Mockingbird, Gone With the Wind, and It's a Wonderful Life.
  • Over its existence of three years, it was never reported and blocked by FCC or any court. Who doesn't like movies!

May I warning you that this site gradually changes URL address.

I don't really like to tell this but it's no joke, no advertisements, no pop-ups. All clean.

Review Summary
Pros:
  • Clean, No advertisements, no spammage, no pop-ups
  • Lots of sources
  • Free
  • Commentary sections available, which tell you which is good and which is bad from users
  • Old, classic movies!
  • Ratings!
  • Movies updated/uploaded the day after release, or even before release in the US!

Cons
  • Seldom unsourced or unreliable
  • Comments might trick you into watching the best movie you would've ever seen!
  • No cons, really

Post-op Surgery Care

Post-op Surgery Care

Hey guys. I am better now, and haven't felt a little hurt today. I am not sure if I am now fully recovered or not. It takes actually about 2 weeks to recover and I was just ending the second on Tuesday. I will get a check up before that though. On Tuesday also is back to school! I am very excited to be back in school and start out new things.

So for the record, here is a timeline of my week and a half post surgery care.

December 22- Surgery Day. I assume you have read my introduction to this post. If not, click here.

December 23- Day 1. I woke up really late. My throat was so dry. I didn't eat anything except puddings that day, and spent the day on my laptop.

December 24- I let myself eat mash potatoes. Not lots. Popsicles and ice chips were also served. I think that was too early for Day 2. It didn't hurt, but I was sick of eating cold foods and water!

December 25- Day 3, I started eating mac and cheese. I am a law-abiding person, but I think I broke a rule by this one. But it didn't hurt.

December 26- Day 4 I can see a lot of white scabs in the spot where my tonsils use to be. The area that surround my uvula seemed to be infected and I wanted to go to the doctor. But I didn't. I presumed it was normal just to calm myself.

December 27- Day 5...uhmmm...I had a grand meal of fried rice with veggies and those soft meats. I don't know what they are so don't ask me. My throat hurt a little after home, and my ear also began to hurt.

December 28- My ear hurt more! I suppose it was just part of the recovery process though. I ignored it. This day I began to eat ice cream--that I didn't eat on the first 5 days of surgery.

December 29- That morning, I had a soft film on my mouth that usually forms when you eat dairy after tonsillectomy. There were also some black spots on my scabs. I swallowed harder and harder but I couldn't get off of it. It's already gone now. More ear pains.

December 30- Wednesday. Oh, God! I had the biggest meal ever. I ate a whole plate of beef and broccoli, fried rice with it, 2 siomais, 1 buchi, jellyfish salad, and I forgot I ate a fortune cookie!  Gosh, I was awfully full! I didn't realize that. But when I went home, I had 124 pounds. Still.

December 31- Yesterday. Of course, we had media noche (midnight meal) so there were a lot of food to be eaten. We had spaghetti, bread pudding, egg rolls, fried rice, fruit salad, and buchis.
We stayed at home as we were expecting some snowstorm which didn't came. We had a nice New Years eve though.

HAPPY 2010!

Today, feeling much better. I feel like there's no more pain. I can swallow normally, no ear pains when drinking, and everything's so normal. But still expecting some changes to that.

It's like I had a really fast recovery! Let me finish the whole box of ice cream I bought. Oh, I have some more popsicles, do you want some?
