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...

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...

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...

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...
