Hidden Meaning of My Name

What Jamie Means

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

Blood Typing Game

In my physiology class yesterday, I learned about blood types and transfusion. It is really interesting how it works.
Anyway I just wanna share something. If you're curious and wanna learn about blood transfusion, I found a site for blood typing game. Here it is http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/medicine/landsteiner/index.html

Make sure you won't kill the patient :) Here is the golden rule of transfusion that I learned from class "Never give a patient a blood transfusion that contains foreign antigens to that patient". For example blood type AB can receive type A, B, AB, O but can only donate to AB. Type AB can receive type O because O is a universal donor.
Have fun!!!!

Go into effect July 1, 2008. Below is a list of frequently asked questions

Q: When do the new wireless telephone laws take effect?
A: The new laws take effect July 1, 2008

Q: What is the difference between the two laws?
A: The first prohibits all drivers from using a handheld wireless
telephone while operating a motor vehicle (Vehicle Code (VC) Section 23123). Motorists 18 and over may use a hands-free device. Drivers under the age of 18 may NOT use a wireless telephone or hands-free device while operating a motor vehicle (VC Section 23124).

Q: What if I need to use my telephone during an emergency, and I do not
have a hands-free device?
A: The law allows a driver to use a wireless telephone to make emergency calls to a law enforcement agency, a medical provider, the fire department or other emergency services agency.

Q: What are the fines if I'm convicted?
A: The base fine for the first offense is $20.00 and $50.00 for
subsequent convictions. According to the Uniform Bail and Penalty schedule, with the addition of penalty assessments, a first offense is $76.00 and a second offense is $190.00.

Q: Will I receive a point on my drivers license if I'm convicted for a
violation of the wireless telephone law?
A: NO. The violation is a reportable offense; however, the Department
of Motor Vehicles will not assign a violation point.

Q: Will the conviction appear on my driving record?
A: Yes, but the violation point will not be added.

Q: Will there be a grace period when motorists will only get a warning?
A: NO. The law becomes in effect on July 1, 2008. Whether a citation

Q: Are passengers affected by this law?

Q: Can I be pulled over by a law enforcement officer for using my
Handheld wireless telephone?
A: YES. A law enforcement officer can pull you over just for this

Q: What other exceptions are there?
A: Operators of an authorized emergency vehicle during the course of
employment are exempt as are motorists operating a vehicle on private
property.

Q: Does the new "hands-free" law prohibit you from dialing a wireless
telephone while driving or just talking on it?
A: The new law does not prohibit dialing, but drivers are strongly urged not to dial while driving.
Q: Will it be legal to use a Bluetooth or other earpiece?
A: Yes; however, you cannot have BOTH ears covered.

Q: Does the new hands free law allow you to use the speaker phone
function of your wireless telephone while driving?
A: Yes.

Q: Does the new "hands-free" law allow drivers 18 and over to text page
while driving?
A: The law does not specifically prohibit that, but an officer can pull
over and issue a citation to a driver of any age if, in the officers
opinion, the driver was distracted and not operating the vehicle safely. Text paging while driving is unsafe at any speed and is strongly discouraged.

Few Basic Tips To Avoid Being Victimized

Nowadays we all know that fraud is everywhere because some people are just bad.
Today, I read one article from the Manila Bulletin USA that will help us avoid being fraud victim. Here are some few basic tips to avoid fraud:

1. Shred credit card receipts and old bank statements.

2. Close unuse credit card and bank accounts.

3. Don't give out personal information via the phone, mail,or internet unless you initiated the contact.

4. Never respond to an offer you don't understand.

5. Talk over investments with a trusted friend, family member, or financial advisor.

6. Require all plans and purchases to be in writing.

7. Don't pay in advance for services.

You can report fraud online to the FBI through its Internet Crime Complaint Center @ http://www.ic3.gov, which is run in concert with the National White Collar Crime Center, and they will refer it to the proper authorities. ( Source: Federal Bureau of Investigations)

Got Help from AAA!!!

After school, I went straight to the Filipino Store to buy some rice because I'm out of rice at home and now I have 50 lbs. of rice:) After paying my groceries, I realized that I park not close from the store; which means I have to carry the 50lbs. sack of rice and other stuff going to my car(can't do it kay layo). The store owner told me to drive my car and be closer to the store while she was asking somebody to help me. So, I did what she said. The parking was full so I park in the blue line parking(not suppose to do it,its only for disable)while waiting for my rice but then nobody came. I came out from my car and just leave it on because I just have to grab the sack of rice from the store really quick. When I got back to my car, it was locked and of course the key was inside.I think I accidentally hit the lock button before I get out.I locked myself out(sounds weird huh). Good thing that I had my phone with me in my pocket so that I can call AAA to help me. I called AAA Emergency Road Service 800-222-4357(emergency kay nag andar ang sakyanan nga wlay driver:) and it was just amazing because one guy came in less than 20 minutes after I called. Using their tools the guy was able to open my car in about 5 minutes.

The guy told me "next time don't panic, call AAA and they will come and help you".
Thank you AAA!!!

Cruise for Fun

Last month me and hubby had a cruise vacation to Mexico for 8 days together with the family. The month before embarkation, I didn't wanna go because I was worried about missing the school for a week. But then hubby told me to ask permission from my teachers which I did. Luckily got approved:) Going back to the topic about cruise. It was my first time and when I got inside the ship I was like WOW. The ship is so big and there were thousands of people. It has casino, bars, karaoke place, shopping place inside:) and lots of entertainment etc. I met a lot of Filipino who works in the ship too.They were nice (got some free drinks from filipino bartender).We went to Acapulco, Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, and Manzanillo and we had so much fun!!!

Here are some pictures I took:

















You guys who wanna take a cruise, check this site for more information: funships@carnivalfunmail.com
I'm sure you will have fun!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

Lately I've been reading blogs from different people and blogs of some of my friends like Jackie and Myrna. One thing that caught to my attention is getting paid from blogging. I was like "WOW really?" but I didn't believe it :) However, I talk to Jackie today and ask her about it and she said it is really true. So I was thinking why not try it instead of just reading their blogs. There's no harm in trying things anyway. I believe that through blogging you can make more friends, learn new stuff, and earn a few bucks as well. Thanks to Jackie!!!

So guys what are you waiting for? Sign up now and enjoy blogging.
Happy weekend everyone!!!
