		<title>Golden Globe Awards 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm a tv-addict and a movie fan.  Watching awards shows and seeing my favorite Hollywood celebrities mix and mingle with each other gives me goosebumps.  As if I was there in that room, witnessing the glitz and glamour.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch the Golden Globes earlier today, and it's as if I missed seeing a friend who visits every year.  Okay, okay... that is lame.  Well, anyway even if I wasn't able to watch the show, I am still happy for the winners, although most of the people I was rooting for did not get a Golden Globe.]]></description>

		<title>Marriage With Expiration Date</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I heard about a women's partylist group proposing that marriage should have an expiration date, I almost laughed out loud.  I can't imagine why people, most especially women, would think that giving marriage an expiration date would be advantageous for them.]]></description>

		<title>Cafe World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ike most games in  <a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a>,  <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/cafeworld" target="_blank">Cafe World</a> is very easy to understand.  The game starts with you being given a cafe to manage.  You start out with a stove, a counter, a few tables, and an employee.  When you click the stove, a cookbook will open indicating the dishes that you can cook at the level you are in.  Once you decide on a dish, you continue to click the stove until the image indicates the amount of time it will take until the dish is finished.  After it's cooked, the image will ask you to click on the stove to serve the food.  This will trigger your character to bring it to the counter so that your waiter can start serving the dish.  To be able to find out how many servings you have left, you place the mouse pointer on the counter.]]></description>

		<title>Bonus-Less 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been more than a year since I joined Odesk.  Before joining Odesk, I got to enjoy receiving yearly bonuses especially the 13th month pay.  Now, for the first time in ten years, I will not be able to get any percentage or part of a bonus.
When I first decided to become a freelancer, I knew that not receiving benefits (like bonuses, insurance, etc.) is a huge disadvantage that I have to accept.  Last year I was still able to get a small part of my ...]]></description>

		<title>My Ondoy Tale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of this writing, the death toll has gone up to 240.  All I could do right now is pray for those who lost their loved ones.  Thankfully the spirit of brotherhood is alive and well, as we provide to those who need food, shelter, and clothing. International organizations have been sending aid to the Philippines in whatever way they can.]]></description>

		<title>Healing Pictures With GIMP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the problems I have with this borrowed camera is that when it is too bright, tiny dots appear on the lens which also appear on the pictures that I take.  The reason for this has been explained to me, but right now, I can't remember what it was.  So my problem was how to fix the pictures.]]></description>
