La Clinica Dental: A spa-like dental clinic

Cebu City- I was invited last June 22, 2009 for a Grand Opening of dental clinic. I was alone meeting the staffs of the dental clinic and the two Dentists who actually owned the clinic. They offered me a lot of foods and hospitality.

La Clinica Dental, arrived from the spanish word for dental clinic, owned and managed by dentists, Dr. Gail Anthony B. Bitancor and Dr. Karen B. Paglinawan.

Sen. Mar Roxas shared his time with Cebu Bloggers' Society

The long-awaited and as promised, Senator Mar A. Roxas II met the members of Cebu Bloggers Society last June 11, 2009. It was held at The Coffee Bean- IT Park . Senator Mar Roxas and other presidentiables attended a forum with the Makati and Cebu business clubs on that same day. It's not a bloggers event for MAR ROXAS supporters, it was for everyone. It was indeed a great opportunity for us to meet Sen. Mar Roxas and knew him even better.

Everyone was given time to have their questions answered. Unfortunately, I was not able to asked question to Sen. Roxas because of the limited time he has shared with us. I was supposed to asked him this question, "Is there any truth about the speculations that he is just using News Anchor Korina Sanchez to gain popularity?" I hope not. I am still not convinced with Mar Roxas as this question continues bugging on my mind. But, if I find it true then I should take him out from my list of Presidentiables.

Massive Phishing Attack on Facebook

Have you experienced that you could not access your Facebook Account using your own password? You have tried many times but still ended up changing it just to have an access to your account again?



After a malicious virus which was widely spread all over Facebook users, here comes Massive Phishing Attack.

Hackers successfully stole passwords from some of Facebook's 200 million users.

Facebook has been hit by another hacking attack, as a phishing campaign was used to steal passwords from users of the social networking site.

Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames and passwords by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

The hackers got passwords through what is known as a phishing attack, breaking into accounts of some Facebook members, then sending e-mails to friends and urging them to click on links to fake websites. Those sites were designed to look like the Facebook Home Page. The victims were directed to log back in to the site, but actually logged into the one controlled by the hackers, unwittingly giving away their passwords. The fake domains include www.151.im, www.121.im and www.123.im. Facebook has deleted all references to those domains.

Schnitt said that Facebook's security team believes the hackers intended to collect a large number of credentials, then use those accounts at a later time to send spam hawking fake pharmaceuticals and other goods to Facebook members.

Yehey.com-Cebu Bloggers' Society Partnership

At first, I didn't have any idea what Yehey.com really was. As we've got the opportunity to meet the people of yehey.com at La Maison, I've learned a lot about their company when Yehey.com's President and CEO Mr. Donald Lim discussed to us what Yehey.com is.
Mr. Donald Lim
Yehey.com is a Philippine portal and search engine.Yehey! is one of the most recognized internet portals in the Philippines and was created to be the website that caters to the information and communication needs of Filipinos online by providing the widest selection of Philippine based topics and interests.

I am wondering why they chose "Yehey" as their brand name. People might mislead because it sounds almost the same with Yahoo.com. But, I guess they really intended to associate the brand name of their search engine with Yahoo.com. It's one of the marketing techniques they could use and by associating it with Yahoo.com they could grab a certain percentage of the marketshare of Yahoo.com. Having a Pinoy-owned Search Engine is a brilliant idea considering that Philippines always on top in terms of internet usage, hours of online, percentage of share in every social networking like multiply, facebook, friendster, etc and even in just searching on some related topics on google, yahoo, ask.com and other search engines. There are 27+M Pinoys online, 83% of online pinoys are part of social networks like Facebook( we are 1st in then world), 98.6% online pinoys watch youtube and number two in blogging.

Features of the Website: TOL - Yehey!'s version of IM, Boards, Chat ,Match ,Jobs, eCards , News, Archives, Images, What's New, Polls, Forex, Directory, Yellow Pages and Kaban- An, Pinoy internet payment solutions and the counterpart of Paypal here in the Philippines

Yehey.com is now building a mutually beneficial partnership with Cebu Bloggers' Society because they considered bloggers as one of the effective distribution channels for site content. They have already met bloggers in Manila areas and now they are extending its partnership with Cebu Bloggers. They considered bloggers as innovative, unique, fun and avenue for quality content.
