Chocolate hills are one of the best tourist spot in Philippines. These hills are conical in shape and have the chocolate like appearance during the summer season. It is the prefect place for lovers and newly wed people. You can even climb on one of the Chocolate hills and have a view of all the other hills surrounding the island. You need to climb nearly 200 steps up the hill which is worth seeing

PAIN?!? It's all about the “APPS” now…, just when I thought Facebook and MySpace couldn't get any MORE annoying…

True. It's dressing up the same cow with different outfits, but you are getting the same milk.

As you break down the "differences" between sites, you further dilute the message and decrease the size of your audience.

ie:
plain milk - lots of people
chocolate milk - kids and some adults
strawberry milk - weird kids and some weird adults
mocha choco milk - buying group getting smaller
strawberry choco frappe milk - minimal

and so on.

:O) thanks for commenting!

On web 2.0 it's all about numbers, so just like the JFK/ Nixon election, dead people count too. If it was possible for some websites to have the dead click away, they would be gazillionaires.

And that classic line from Groucho Marx “I sent the club a wire stating, “PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER”.

Talking about the invites, I'm the types of person that getting rejected more than I can remember than anyone else…lol

Thus, I have an awful feeling about the “You Are Invited” sentence…

HI Ophelia, I especially loved that final para. Your post reeks of boredom & stalenes with (a lot) of the whole internet thing. Sure there are loads of worthy sites out there, but with the excitement of web 2.0 we've overdone it. And most new sites are clones with minor variations. Fact is that we have elevated all this way out of its true importance – so there's some cool new site out every other week – what difference to anything does it really make ?
Just a super highway of ultimately mind numbing new sites & their discarded predecessors.

The interns like to tease me. What, no myspace OR facebook?! You only twitter? And Ophelia, if it weren't for your twitter invite, I wouldn't even have that. So thank you for the invite. ~___^
