Emails

How many emails do you receive every day ? I've just count the emails I have receive today from work, total emails I receive was about 20 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. This does not include the emails I receive from personal emails I got. I am sure, some of you may have received more emails than me. I thought technology would somehow lighten up our workload. But to think about the number of emails that we receive everyday, we may become overwhelmed by it as more time are being alloted just to read this bulk emails that we got everyday. We must learn to identify emails that require our urgent attention and prioritize emails that are needed to be replied.

So here's my question I would like to raise :
a. How many emails do you received every day ?
b. How do you deal with your emails so that it becomes manageable ?
c. Do you have some tips in handling your emails ?

Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

Just receive this email. You may have already known this, but just in case you didn't ........

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST
Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to Establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

THIRD
Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

PC keeps on rebooting

My friend's PC keeps on rebooting after a certain period of time (ie. every 5 or 10 minutes). She confirmed to me that this strange restart problem only happen 2 days ago and that her PC was functioning normally before that. After checking that there was no loose wire connections on the PC, I suspected that there might be a virus that had infected her PC, I tried to download antivirus from the internet but then the PC would restart in the middle of the download or even before we could successfully connect to the internet Luckily the windows system restore option was enabled so I then tried to restore the PCs operating system to previous week state. The PC then rebooted after restoration of previous weeks image and the strange restart problem never occured again.

Here's the step that I did to restore the PC to its previous backup image using Windows System Restore.

1. Log on to Windows as Administrator.

2. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore. System Restore starts.

3. On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore my computer to an earlier time (if it is not already selected), and then click Next.

4. On the Select a Restore Point page, click the most recent system checkpoint in the On this list, click a restore point list, and then click Next.
A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make. Click OK.

5. On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, click Next.
System Restore restores the previous Windows XP configuration, and then restarts the computer.

6. Log on to the computer as Administrator. The System Restore Restoration Complete page appears. Click OK.


So how do you ensure that the System Restore option in Windows was enabled in your PC or laptop ? To ensure that it was turn on do the following steps :
1. Click Start.

2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

3. Click the System Restore tab.

4. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives."

5. Click Apply, and then click OK.


Does your PC has some strange problems after downloading some softwares or music from the internet ? You may want to consider Window's System Restore as one of your option. Its really a great feature of Windows.

Regional Delicacies in Philippines

Philippine food is relatively unknown in many parts of the world.  Malay, Chinese, Spanish and American influences have greatly influence Philippine cuisine and also have complemented the Filipino's way of traditional cooking style.  Popular dishes adopted from Chinese are "lumpiang shanghai" (spring rolls) and "pancit" (rice noodles). A lot of traditional dishes still retain their Spanish names such as "mechado," "menudo," and "pochero."

Below are some well known food that could be found in certain localities in Phillipines.

Ilocos Region (Northen part of Luzon)   -  well known for its longganisa and pinakbet

Negros, Iloilo and Cebu -   Lechon and Otap

Pampanga -  tocino (sweet meat)

Batangas   -   famous for its "bulalo" and Barako (coffee beans)

Bicol   -   famous for its "laing" and "Bicol Express"  (dishes that used coconut milk and spices)

Iloilo   -   popular for its "pancit molo and "La Paz Batchoy"

Davao   -   famous for its "inihaw na panga ng tuna" and exotic fruits like "durian" , mangosteen, rambutan and pomelo

Zamboanga   -   famous for its delicious prawns, crabs, lobster and "curacha"


I am not sure of the well known foods for other regions.   Can you help me out ?
