Youtube videos will be embedded. Because of concerns with copyright violations I have limited the posting of videos but after some researching embedding Youtube videos on your site seems to be legal and within the terms of service offered by Google as long as posted Youtube video does not infrige any copyright violation. The basis of my decision is based on the article from hubpages.com.

The Year That Was 2012

Details: Written by Jb Barrios; Category: JBgwapings; Last Updated: 06 January 2013; Hits: 3231

January 2012
My first article i wrote and my only article for January 2012 was About This Website. I neglected to include a story about my friend boasting about his blog. We were already working for 2 years and it was a long time since we have seen each other. My friend got hired by a big IT company. His previous job was a call center agent. I was a field engineer that time. Well as we humans do we tend to boast. Salary wise and career wise he was ahead so came out the boasting part. He said he would revise the code of the "blob" of his colleague. Though I was not working for a big IT company I am updated when it comes to IT. I told him the correct term was blog from web log not blob.
By the way, until now my friend do no have his own website yet.

This Santa fulfills a girl's difficult wish - CBS News

Sometimes the very best presents don't come with price tags and they don't require batteries. CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman has a lesson in the holiday spirit, on the road.

When Santa showed up at Tar River Elementary near Raleigh, N.C., he not only brought gifts -- he brought every second-grader the exact toy they'd asked for in their letters.

"Did everybody get what they wanted?" Santa asked the kids.

"Thank you!" they said.

Every kid that is - except for Bethany Arnold, who refused to ask him for a single toy.

In the letter, Bethany wrote: "Dear Santa, my daddy is in Iraq. Could you bring him home for Christmas?"

Christmas (Usapang Pasko)

This morning I had breakfast with some of my colleagues. Most probably we won't be seeing each other on the evening (most will be in front of the computers on Christmas eve) so we had breakfast together.

We played Christmas songs to lighten up the mood but it made most of us the opposite, felt homesick. Hehe.

They say in America the most dangerous jobs are store clerks and taxi drivers because they encounter lots of gun related violence. In the Philippines, journalist and media persons are killed among the highest in the world thus we get lots of criticism from the international community. I blame this to the lax gun control. Now you see gun shops on malls. I hope both the US and Philippine will take a strong stance.

There will be a change of ruling party in Japan and new Prime Minister. They brought back a long time ruling party they have just removed three years ago. The new ruling party promised to beat deflation and to protect its territory.

On Sunday's mass the reproductive health bill got briefly mentioned. Our priest said corruption is the cause of poverty not the overpopulation which I disagre. Overpopulation may not be the main cause but is still among the cause of poverty.

In the Philippines December 16 is the start of Simbang Gabi.

Is your birthday day 1 of the month?
Your Life
You are very curious and dedicative. When you are interested in something,everything else has to wait. This is your quality. But if you learn to be
more patient and complete what you have started, you will be successful in
life.
Your Love
You believe in love at first sight. You won't wait to learn more about the
person. Vise versa, people who fail to impress you will hardly get a chance
to be your friend. Your emotion is on the extreme. You can only love or
hate, nothing in between and this often shows in your __express! ion. Try not to
end a relationship in a quarrel.

for self-control problem.
Your Love
Your love progress slowly, and quietly. You seem to be contented with your
unrequited love. Your are a romantic and loyal lover.
