I’m happy to be getting back into the swing of things with my work  after not touching my favorite cellphone  for a few weeks for being too busy . Participating in events , product launching, meetings,  with others has really inspired me to improve my skills every single day. I learn something new each time. =]

On that note, my well prepared event is  near, im getting soo crazy for the preparations and everything! whew!

Enjoy!

Love meant everything to her.

Supermodel Ruslana Korshunova poured her heart out on the Web in the months leading to her apparent suicide.

"Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably," the sandy-haired knockout wrote in a poem that concluded: "And never regret anything that made you smile."

The Kazakh beauty wrote that love "blinds," "sets souls afire," and "is always the answer" in emotion-soaked passages posted on a social networking site.

Korshunova volleyed between Russian and English in her heartfelt prose, but love was a central theme no matter the language. "Do not confuse love and desire," she wrote in Russian in her most recent posting May 30. "Love is the sun, desire - only flash. Desire dazzles, and the sun gives life."

The soulful note warns of the perils of sacrifice.

"Love does not take away from one in order to give to another," wrote Korshunova, a 20-year-old thousands of miles from her native Kazakhstan. "Love - this is the essence of life. But you will not give your life to another."

Korshunova's most telling message came three months ago: "I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?"

She appeared angry in some postings, brokenhearted in others.

"I'm a bitch. I'm a witch. I don't care what you say!!!" she wrote March 11. "I know what it is. I know why my other relationships didn't work out, 'cause I'm unpredictable. Why are you afraid of it?"

In January, she wrote, "It hurts, as if someone took a part of me, tore it out, mercilessly stomped all over and threw it out.

"My dream is to fly. Oh, my rainbow it is too high," she wrote in a March note.

iloroadband Services According to Consuer Activities, Says IDC 

Philippines, 2 May, 2008 – Although the Philippines has a relatively young market when it comes to residential broadband share, local broadband is expected to enjoy strong take-up in the near future. According to IDC's latest study, "Broadband Consumer Survey: Identifying Key Broadband User Segments in the Philippines (Doc# PH20410SP, February 2008)", more and more residential subscribers are moving away from narrowband and migrating to broadband.  

From the survey, IDC identified four segments of urban consumer broadband users in the Philippines by using cluster analysis. They are Laggard Users; Entertainment and Social Fanatics; Information and Community Junkies; and, Early Adopters. Online usage by the Laggard Users is focused on basic Internet activities such as online search and accessing of personal emails; while the Entertainment and Social Fanatics go online to supplement communications within their peer systems and to further expand their social network systems. The Information and Community Junkies are characterized by their regular use of online data mining, as well as search-, research- and educational- community forums. The Early Adopters are one of the first to try new services and are also heavy users of basic online services such as online search and accessing of personal emails.

   

Results of this study shows that nearly half of all urban broadband consumers are categorized as Entertainment and Social Fanatics. They use the Internet mainly to access emails, visit online communities, blog and make online search. As broadband migration continues, IDC anticipates more profile variations to emerge from these current classification of broadband users.

Proportion of Clusters, 2007

Source: IDC's Philippine Fixed Line Consumer Survey, 2007 

"IDC encourages Service Providers (SPs) to package and position their services according to the activities and practices of these online users. Essentially, this involves the continuous effort to learn about one's customers since their needs and requirements will become more complex in time. Although it may still be some time before a shift from wireline Internet to mobile Internet becomes prevalent, other players from significant segments like hardware, software, and online content should prepare themselves for emerging opportunities. With the take-up of mobile trends, IDC expects mobile advertising, mobile social networking and mobile online search to come along in the future, " says Catherine Foronda, Market Analyst, Communications Research, IDC Philippines.
