Why SNSD is so addicting...

(Try to read my previous topic about SNSD)

SNSD (So Nyeo Shi Dae or Girls' Generation) is one of the most popular and successful girl group in Korea. They are also popular in other countries (Japan, Philippines, Thailand, etc.). This means that, even they (fans) are not Koreans or they (fans) cannot understand the Korean language, fans still love SNSD. International fans even put up their own SNSD fans club in their countries. These clubs set up special events every time SNSD officially released an album in their country, or when SNSD celebrates their anniversary. Some international fans (like me) were even influenced by SNSD to learn how to speak Korean to be able to understand their songs. That's how powerful and charismatic SNSD is.

Though they (SNSD) are very popular, there are still some people who don't like SNSD. These haters are known as anti-snsd. Haters are bringing up a lot of negative issues just to put SNSD down. Anti-snsd are saying that the girls' (SNSD) beauty are product of surgical procedures, and the group is not talented enough to deserve all the attention and popularity that they are getting. I don't know the real reason why they hate SNSD. But I think they are just envy of the extreme popularity and success that SNSD achieved in just three short years.

Despite of these negative publicities, fans are still hooked with SNSD. Fans are ignoring these issues and they just keep on supporting SNSD. And this continuing support of the fans makes haters go crazy.

SNSD has really captured the heart of the fans. So what's with SNSD that got people to be so addicted to them?

I'm an SNSD fan too. And I'm really addicted to them! My phone (Nokia N70me) is fully loaded with their songs and videos. I don't even have enough space to put in English or Filipino songs. After months of being hooked with SNSD, I was finally able to sort out the reasons why they were so addicting. Things that made them ahead of the pack. They are the following:

  1. Their songs are all addicting. Their cute and beautiful voices mixed with catchy melody equals highly addicting songs! All the songs in their two albums, two repackaged albums and two mini albums can make every listeners addicted to them. One of their most popular songs is Gee. Korean fans were so addicted to Gee that it went no.1 in MNET countdown for eight straight weeks. Beating the record of the world wide hit song Nobody by Wonder Girls. Nobody became no.1 in MNET for just six consecutive weeks. Gee also became no.1 in Music Bank for nine consecutive weeks.

    Their songs are simple and catchy. That's why ordinary people can easily memorize the rhythm and melody of their songs. The sound of Korean words is also fun to hear. Even the international fans, who don't understand the Korean lyrics of SNSD songs, are still able to memorize and sing their songs.

  2. Cute dance steps. Like their songs, the dance steps of SNSD are also simple and easy to follow. Even people who has no talent in dancing can easily do the dance steps of SNSD (like in my case ^_^).

    It's really a pleasure to the eyes watching their cute faces performing cute dance numbers. You can easily forget all your problems by just watching them do their moves. Their dance moves really fit their cute, innocent looking faces. Not all girls look good when they do cute dance steps. But SNSD looks great and fun to watch every time they perform! Actually, this one of the main reasons why I got addicted to SNSD. I love watching videos. And I really love the way they dance in all of their music videos.

  3. Nine is better than one. I think SNSD having nine members, is the main thing that separates them from other Korean girl group. The usual number of members of a Korean singing group is four or five. But SM Entertainment wants to be unique. That's why they designed SNSD to have nine members. This is also the same strategy that SME applied on Super Junior, a popular and successful Korean boy group composed of 13 members.

    So what's the advantage if they have nine members compared to four or five members of the other groups?

    If you were an audience, you will find it more fun and entertaining to watch a bigger group performing together smoothly. You will never be bored. Your eyes will be busy trying to see what each member is doing.

    That is also the case with SNSD. You have nine beautiful ladies performing in front of you. Your eyes will try to memorize each member's face. Looking for the one that you can call as "my most favorite member!". And if you are already tired in focusing your attention on your favorite member (this is almost an impossible thing to happen. You will never get tired of watching your favorite SNSD member.), there are still eight other cute and beautiful faces that your eyes can watch for. Because of this fact, fans will never be bored watching SNSD. Isn't that great?

  4. They have cute, beautiful, lovely faces. For me, this the biggest reason why fans are so addicted to SNSD. We all knew that all singers are really good in singing. But not all singers are pleasing to the eyes. And SNSD is a type of singing group with beautiful voices and faces.

    I was a 2NE1 fan before, but SNSD's beauty has made me forget 2NE1. I'm not saying that 2NE1 members aren't pretty. CL, Bom, Dara, and Minzy are also beautiful. Both groups are great singers and dancers. But SNSD's beauty is just too much for me. That's why I decided to pick SNSD over 2NE1.

    I created a short clip of SeoHyun singing her pat on Gee in one of SNSD's live performances. This is the video that made me say: "I am now a true blooded SNSD fan!". This short clip has made me decide to be an SNSD fan for a long, long time. :)

Good Study Habit: "markamps' way"

Before anything else, I'll be honest to say that I'm a lazy student (a lazy person in general ^_^). I hate to read and memorize terms/words. My mind and body can't survive a 30minute long review. I feel like I'm going to die if I will read school books and notes for that amount of time.

Aside from being lazy, I also have a big ego inside my head. I always believe that I'm intelligent enough to be able to answer all the questions in my exams.

I love to take exams. But I hate to review! I believe that taking exams without reviewing is the best way to measure your learning. If you really learned something from your subject, then you can easily answer all the questions in your exam even without reviewing.

I consider reviewing as a waste of time. It's like redundancy of work. You already studied those topics inside the class room. So why would you study it again?

Because of my attitude and outlook towards reviewing, I discovered a good study habit for lazy but talented students (like me! ^_^). I was able to squeeze something positive out of a negative characteristic (being lazy).

Just a warning before you read my "good study habits guide". My guide will only work for a lazy student who has talent in memorizing and good listening skills. It's also better if you're not a talkative student. My guide requires a lot of focus and concentration. My guide will also help you to remove the need for writing down notes. And one more thing, if you’re a lazy student, your teacher must not be lazy like you or else, my guide will not work and you will still be forced to review.

The Guide:

  1. Always listen to your teacher. This is the most important thing that you must do if you want to avoid reviewing during examinations. Don't be an idiot. Don't waste yours' or your parents' money by just chatting with your seatmate while your teacher is discussing in front of the class. You are paying your teachers to teach you about certain subjects. So make sure you learn something from them. Every bits of information that you get from the discussion will be a big help come examination time.

    Words or terms are easier to memorize if you hear them, rather than reading them. Make sure to listen keenly on your teacher's discussion. Try to memorize or understand all the important words that comes out from your teacher's mouth. If your teacher has visual aids, try to read it also. Look for important details that your teacher forgot to mention while he's discussing. If you can memorize or understand most of the stuffs that your teacher tackled, passing quizzes and exams without reviewing is almost guaranteed!

    Teachers do not create questions that they have not discussed during regular class, except for those topics that they have planned to tackle but has no enough time to be able to discuss it. But don't worry, teachers with these cases usually warn their students to read the next topic. Teachers don't want to be blamed by their students if they (students) can't answer their (teachers) questions. If you want to perfect the exam, then you need to read and review the next topic. But if you really hate to review, just be contended with an average passing grade that your listening and memorizing skills can give to you.

  2. Take a five minute review. After days or weeks of listening to your teacher, your brain will be filled with tons of knowledge and information. Since human brain cannot handle too much information, you may loss some of the information that you have learned while listening to your teacher. A five minute review will help solve this problem.

    Since you already encountered and memorized all the terms before, it won't take you a lot of time to memorize them again. Just scan your book and your classmate's notes (as I said, you don't have to write your own notes), and you're ready to pass the exam!

    Hey, a five minute review? I thought your guide will help me omit reviewing when examination time comes?

    Five minutes of review is very different from the conventional way of reviewing. All you need is just five minutes compared to hours of reading with the conventional way of reviewing. With that little amount of time, it feels like you didn't review at all! But in fact, you were still able to memorize all the stuffs that your hardworking classmates able to memorized after long hours of review. Since your review time is just five minutes, you can still sleep, watch TV, play games and do other stuffs for a long period of time. Isn't it wonderful? Doing your hobbies but still passing the exam?

    Actually you can opt not to use a five minute review. But that extra five minutes of review can spell the difference between passing and failing the exam. That's why I highly recommend having a five minute review to refresh all the information that you have learned through listening to your teacher.

And we're done! If you can notice, my guide is all about efficiency! You were able to utilize every cent that you were paying to your teacher. And you were also able to maximize your time!

Good luck to your exams! Do not cheat! :)

How To Double Your Download Speed

Sick of having a very slow download speed? So slow that it's so hard for you to even consider putting the word "speed" in your download transfer rate? Then the answer to your problem is here! The Download Accelerator Plus by Speedbit.

Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) is a compact computer software that enhances the download speed of an internet connected computer. Aside from faster download speed, DAP also provides stable download speed. DAP also supports resuming of paused or discontinued downloads (this feature is dependent on the server of the file you are downloading). DAP also has its own internet browser. It’s a good simple browser. But I recommend you to use Mozilla FireFox instead. You can integrate DAP to your FireFox browser. DAP will automatically be your downloader when you download something from the net.

I'd been using DAP for over one year now. And I'm really satisfied with its performance. We have a basic broadband (384kbps or 48kBps) connection in our home. And a 48kBps download speed is not that bad. But in reality, my download speed only reached 24kBps. And it really sucks! With DAP, my download speed was able to reach 50-60kBps. More than twice of my regular download speed of 24kBps.

Slow download
My regular download speed
Increased download speed
Download speed with DAP

But what impresses me more about DAP, is that it doubles my download speed using only regular download acceleration. You can further increase the download acceleration of DAP when you upgrade it to Premium. I'm just a poor boy. I don't have enough money to upgrade my DAP to premium. If you have extra penny in your pocket and you want to experience a lightning quick download speed, then why not purchase DAP Premium. I think DAP is an application worth spending for.

You can download or purchase DAP in Speedbit official website (Speedbit uploaded it on Brothersoft). Enjoy downloading!

Busting Out Text Scams!

Scammers are everywhere. And one of their newly discovered playground is the world of SMS (short messaging system) or text messaging. Scamming through text is a clever way of stealing money from people. It's so easy and safe (for scammers' part).

Text messaging is not a much secured way of communication. Anyone who knows your number can easily send a scam message to you. And there's no way for you to figure out the real identity of the sender. Because there is no existing law that requires prepaid subscribers to register their SIM (subscriber identification module). Scammers can easily buy SIMs and change their mobile number. In this way, they can trick more people and still hide their identity.

In this article I'll be giving some tips, not how to know the real identity of the scammer, but how to distinguish genuine text messages from scam ones. It is really hard or almost impossible to determine the identity of a text scammer, but it's so easy to verify if a message is scam or not.

We will bust out two of the most common format of text scams. Let's begin!

1. The Promo Scam

"Congratulations! You won $100,000. Your number was luckily drawn in our Monthly promo draw last July 1st. Please call on this number and look for Atty. Smith for details on how to claim your prize."

Promo scam is a classical format of text scams. This is the first type of text scam that circulated in the SMS world. A lot of people were victimized by this scam. It's because of a simple reason; everybody wants to gain instant money. $100,000 is a huge amount of money to pass up. People who received this kind of message got so excited that they forget to verify if it's true.

Promo scam works like this:

  1. The victim will call that number to know the details on how to claim the fake prize.

  2. The scammer will ask the victim to send the details of his credit card and/or bank account so they can send the fake prize on that account.

  3. Instead of sending the prize, the scammer will quickly access the victim's account and steal all the money of the victim.

  4. After sweeping the victim's bank account, the scammer will buy a new SIM and change his number so that the victim cannot contact the scammer anymore when the victim realizes that he was scammed!

*Small time scammers will only ask for cell phone load instead of bank account details. When the scammer got enough amount of load from the victim, he will then change his number.

So here are some tips on what to do if you receive this kind of message:

  1. Try to remember if you have ever joined any text promos. If you can't remember anything, then the text that you received is a 99% sure text scam.

  2. Look for the promo code. All legitimate promo has their own unique code given by the government. Scammers are genius. They knew this fact. That's why they also put fake promo codes in their scam messages. If you see a promo code in a text message of this kind, try to verify it by calling the government department that handle all promos in your country.

  3. Investigate the sender's number. Legitimate text promos use special numbers. They can be three to six digit numbers. If the sender's number looks like an ordinary mobile number, then it's 100% scam.

2. The Roaming Scam

"Hello guys! How are you there? I send a package full of stuffs for all of you. Miss you all! By the way, this is my new roaming number. Contact me here if you have any problem."

The roaming scam targets people who have friends or relatives outside the country. This kind of text scam is somewhat a psychological trick. It triggers the emotional weakness of humans. When a person has special someone abroad then he received a text message like this, he tends to be too excited and cheerful that he started to assume that the sender of the message is his love one.

The amount of money that a scammer can get from this kind of scam depends on how quick before the victim realizes that he was being tricked. It ranges from several days up to a couple of months. Scammers usually ask for cell phone loads. They pretend to have a hard time loading up their mobile accounts in their imaginary country. Sometimes they even ask for money or other stuffs. You can't blame people who are victimized by this trick. Because if you're in the same situation, you will also give everything that your love one asked just to make him feel better while living in a lonely country. Scammers who use this trick are also from the same country as the victim. That's why they emphasizes that they are using a roaming number. So that the victim will not wonder why does the sender's number look like an ordinary local cell phone number.

If you receive this kind of text and you really have a friend or relative that is outside the country, these are the things that you must do to avoid being scammed:

  1. Never assume that the sender is your love one. Never reply a text message that attempts to guess the name of the sender. Remember, scammers send scam messages to random numbers. So they don't know if you really have relatives abroad. Sending a reply like, "Joe is this you?" is already a big success for the scammer. Aside from confirming that you do have relatives or friends abroad, you also gave them an instant identity. The scammer will now begin to pretend that he is the real "Joe" that you know. You just made the scammer's job easier. Instead of guessing a name, you should ask the sender his name. If he replied a name that you didn't know, then it's a sure scam. Usually, scammers don't reply anymore if you ask them to give a name. Because the probability of picking a right name, is too low.

  2. Contact your relative or friend's old number. If the scammer luckily guessed a right name, then you must verify it. You can contact the old number of your friend or relative, or you can send an e-mail to him if he has an e-mail account.

  3. Call that number. If your love one doesn’t have an e-mail account or his old number is not working anymore, the only way to verify the sender's identity is by calling him. Listen to his voice. Try to analyze the way he speaks. And check it yourself if he sounds like the real person. If he doesn’t, then he was just trying to scam you. But usually, if it is a scam, the scammer will never try to answer your call.

DotA: Bone Clinkz Perfect Build

(Note: all stats and info are based on DotA 6.67c map)

Bone Clinkz the Bone Fletcher is an agility type hero in the world wide famous game DotA (Warcraft III: Frozen Throne). He looks like a skeleton with a bow and arrow. At first, you will think that this hero is weak. Because he's small with a very low health points. But I tell you, Bone Clinkz can kill any hero 1-on-1.

Bone Clinkz is one my favorite hero in DotA. In fact, he was the first hero that I used in this game. It was in 2006 when I first used him. I find it hard for me to use Bone Clinkz as my hero in DotA. He's HP is too thin to fit my aggressive and careless style of playing. Since then, I always avoided using Clinkz as my hero.

But it was just last year when I discovered his real strength. I picked Clinkz through the all random pick mode of the game. I don't know what I had eaten right that day. But for the first time, I was able to kill a hero 1-on-1 and face to face using Clinkz. I was finally able to build a perfect strategy for Clinkz. I even registered a double kill and beyond godlike status in that game! After that day, I started to use Clinkz in almost every game. Trying to improve and develop a better strategy for Clinkz.

As of today, my unique build on Clinkz has proven to be very effective. I am able to kill heroes in less than three seconds. And I'll be sharing this build to you right now! So let's begin.

Skill Build:

Level 22 - Stats
Level 23 - Stats
Level 24 - Stats
Level 25 - Death Pact

Bone Clinkz' second skill, Searing Arrows, is his primary weapon. It is important to level up this skill as quick as you can. That extra 50 bonus damage is a deadly companion, especially in the early stages of the game when heroes don't have vanguard or other armor and health regenerating items yet. Searing Arrows is also helpful at the start of the game. You can use it to last hit and deny creeps.

Item Build:

Start of the game:

bone clinkz perfect build

In this guide, I considered that you are playing 5v5 and all pick mode. This scenario will give you 603 golds to begin the game. With this amount of gold, the best items to put on Clinkz are two set of Ancient Tangos (90x2=180golds) and one Sobi Mask (325golds). You can use the Tangos to regenerate your HP when you were severely damaged at the start. Sobi Mask will help you regenerate your mana faster. You will be using your mana for Searing Arrows. You will also use the Sobi Mask to build Oblivion Staff and Orchid of Malevolence later in the game.

After a couple of minutes:

The first item that you should complete is the Oblivion Staff. You need three of these to build Orchid of Malevolence. Just focus on building an Orchid. There's no need to buy boots of speed yet. Bone Clinkz walks fast enough even without boots. And his Windwalk will allow him to walk even faster. So boots of speed is not a necessity for Clinkz. Complete Orchid of Malevolence as fast as you can. It will be the best compliment or combo for your Searing Arrows. When you have the Malevolence, you are now unbeatable 1v1. You can kill any hero you want as long as he don't have nearby allies to help him.

Later:

After having Malevolence, everything will be easy now for Clinkz. You can passively activate his Searing Arrows so you can kill creeps faster and earn gold faster. Malevolence will super boost your mana regen. So you can use all his skills as much as you want. The next item you should build is the Power Treads. It will give Clinkz additional attack speed and movement speed as well as some damage. Faster attack speed means more kills for Clinkz. When you have Malevolence and Treads, the third item that you should buy is either a Divine Rapier or Monkey King Bar (MKB). Divine Rapier will give you additional 250 damage per attack. With this item, Clinkz can kill a high level hero in just three seconds. But there is a risk when you have this item. Divine Rapier will drop when you die. So make sure your talented enough when you choose to put this item on Clinkz. On the other hand, Monkey King Bar will give you less damage but it will allow you to have 100% attack accuracy. Meaning, all your attacks will never be dodged by your opponent hero. MKB is very helpful especially for those AGI type opponents who already have Butterfly.

If there's enough time:

This is the best set of items for Clinkz. Malevolence for silencing your opponent. Treads to speed up your attack and movement. Divine for additional 250 damage. MKB for 100% attack accuracy. Heart of Tarrasque to make Clinkz more durable. And Butterfly, for super attack speed and dodging. You're virtually unstoppable if you could have these items. But it will take a lot of time and golds to complete them. But it's worth it!

Best Ally:

Worst Opponent:

bone clinkz perfect build

Disabling heroes are like best friend for Clinkz. They are his best friend but they are also his worst enemy. Bone Clinkz is useless if he can't attack or move. And he is too thin. So one second of disability can cause a lot of damage to him. But if Clinkz can disable his opponent, it's a sure kill!

Playing the game:

At the start of the game, pick either the top or the bottom lane. He's a range hero, so he can also play the mid lane. But it’s easier for Clinkz if he has a teammate with him. That's why I like to play the top or bottom lane. It's better if your ally hero is a silencer or stunner. This will allow you to have early kills.

At the beginning, you just have to focus on last hitting and denying creeps. You can easily do this with the help of searing arrows. You could also harass your opponent if it's a melee hero.

When you're level 3, you can now start to attempt killing heroes. Your Searing Arrows must be level 2 at this point. First activate your wind walk. You will become invisible. Now set searing arrows as passive skill (just right click on it). Go behind your target hero. Then your ally hero must stun that opponent. Once stunned, attack the opponent. In just five seconds, both of you and your ally can kill the opponent hero given that there's no one to help him. Just do this technique multiple times to have more hero kills under your stats.

When you have completed the Orchid of Malevolence, you can now kill a hero alone. Clinkz will now have a disabling skill of his own. By this time, your level is high enough to have the Strafe skill. This skill will increase the attack speed of Clinkz. To kill a hero, all you need to do is to activate wind walk, go behind your enemy and make sure that he's alone, then set searing arrows to passive. When all is set, silence your enemy using the Malevolence then activate strafe and start attacking. Within four to five seconds, you will be able to finish off your opponent. Just repeat this trick to kill other heroes.

Aside from killing heroes, Clinkz can also destroy towers quickly. His searing arrows are also working for towers. Just use the combination of Strafe and Searing Arrows.

With his wind walk, Clinkz can be used to spy opponents' farm area and other enemy territory. This is a big asset for your team. Your team can avoid an ambush attack from your enemies. You can also use this skill to check if your opponent is trying to kill Roshan. Clinkz is really a big help for a team. But make sure, that you are still earning some golds while helping your team.

In the latter part of the game, you should have enough gold to buy either Divine or MKB. You can pick which item you want to build first. In my case, I always build Divine first before MKB. As I said, I am an aggressive player. I want blood! I am just being more careful when I already have Divine. I make sure that I always have a disabling ally hero along with me. Or I kill Roshan so I can have Aegis of Immortality. This will give me a second life if I die. And it is a sort of security for my Divine. But if you think you’re not talented enough to hold Divine, then it's better to buy MKB first. If there's enough time, try to buy Tarrasque and Butterfly.

That's all! I hope it helps. Try using Bone Clinkz now! :)
