Learning Public Speaking with Toastmasters

A few months back, it was my first time to get invited to give a talk. I personally believe that I have to start somewhere and that was a good place to start.It was a privilege to get invited to talk and after that seminar, I decided to improve on my skills.

I was in search for a place where I could learn to talk in public. After doing a little Google search, it just gave me some weird results like "English language school", "Language partner", etc. It's not what I want. I wanted to learn how to speak in front of a public, not have an english conversation.

Avira Antivirus Premium Suite Review

I've been using computers as early as 1996 and ever since, a PCs enemy is the viruses. They keep on evolving and what you need is a software that evolves as the viruses evolves. If you are making purchases online and doing bank transactions, those are considered to be  very risky without protection and maximum security is needed for your computer system. Years back, I was very hesitant in doing online transactions. Even though I am active in eBay and several local online shops like Multiply and Bidshot (circa 2003)

Before, I would just use the free antivirus softwares. Now that I have tried how the premium / paid antivirus works, I decided to not scrimp on it as this is one of the most important investments I would be making to protect myself from the viruses.

I'll give you a tip. Ask your friends if they also want to purchase as this premium software is cheaper by the bulk. Also, uninstall the free version before installing the premium for the full experience.

Should you upgrade to the iPhone 4S? Reasons to upgrade and not to upgrade

iPhone just announced their latest addition to the iPhone family, the iPhone 4S. You might or might not be disappointed because there's no iPhone 5 release but I think Siri made it up for that. It's their style since they had 2 versions of the original iPhone, the iPhone 3g and 3gs and now with the iPhone 4 and the 4S.

Some of my friends lasted for 3 generations of iPhone before changing. He bought the original iPhone and skipped the improved version of the original iPhone, iPhone 3g, iPhone 3gs and he got the iPhone 4. As for me, I'll also be waiting for the iPhone 5, if self-control permits or if I won't find a good deal.

If you have the iPhone 4, do you think an upgrade will be worth it?
This depends on your budget and needs. If you have extra money to spend or if you are a hardcore Apple fanboy or you need the new features, then YES, you should! But how should you distinguish need from want?

Well, if you have an iPhone 4 and you are considering to upgrade to the iPhone 4S, here's the difference between the iPhone 4 and 4S:

San Miguel Apple and Lemon Flavored Malt Beverages

In my entire life, I've only been drunk once, and that was when I was with my family. I know it's silly but I wanted to know how "being drunk" feels like and nothing beats getting drunk knowing you are safe with your family.

I'm not a Chef by the way. It's just my name but after undergoing a short pastry art making demonstration under the training of internationally known expert chefs, I felt like a real chef! It was just for 3 hours and it was a great experience! Imagine undergoing REAL training under them!? Awesome!
