Water Coolers for Home – A Good Idea? I’m writing this post because as of now I do not have a water cooler at home. However, I am thinking of buying one. Is it a good idea? Or should I just stick to what I am used to? If it is, what kind of water cooler should I buy? Let me search the internet for answers but before that let me tell you how we store and dispense water at home.
When I was just a small kid, my mom used to boil our drinking water. No, we didn’t drink it hot but once boiled, we let it cool down for a while before transferring it to several small water containers. These water containers will in turn be put into the refrigerator to cool and be suitable for drinking. That was like 2 decades ago.
Now, we do it in a slightly different way. Instead of boiling water to distill it and kill of harmful organisms in the water, we instead buy mineral water from mineral water stations. We buy the mineral water together with the tapped water container (those containers with a tap attached to it so that you could get water straight from the container via the tap…). That way, we don’t have to boil water and leave the “water experts” in making sure that our water is clean and potable. After that, we transfer the mineral water in to small water containers and do as the former paragraph describes.
To eliminate the “transfer from large water container to smaller container” step, I could buy a water cooler/dispenser which can host a large water container which is designed specifically to fit into a water cooler. These water containers do not contain taps but instead their opening holes are designed to fit into the water cooler/dispenser which in turn cool/heat the water to be dispensed at the user’s will.
From comfort’s point of view this is a good idea. But if I want to save money by keeping purchases and monthly electric costs down, then sticking to the existing method of cooling and dispensing water is the way to go.
Jerzon Senador – The Animal Abuser. I saw this photo of a poor puppy on FB hung on a clothesline of its owner to dry a few hours ago. I love animals especially dogs so I decided to blog about this. Animal cruelty unfortunately is a rampant thing in the Philippines. But to do it to a puppy, take a photo of it, post it online for everyone to see and boast about this “achievement” is not something to be left unnoticed. Here is a screenshot of the album:
While here is a screenshot of the poor puppy:
The offender’s name is Jerzon Senador. I’m not sure if that’s his real name or if he really is in one of the pics in the album but if you follow the “bread crumbs” you’d say it really is him.
I’m not sure what to do about this or to whom to report to so if you are reading this post, please me know via the comments section the best course of action.
5 to 6 hostages have been abducted as what is now famously called as the Wytheville Hostage. A gunman with explosives has taken people hostage at a post office in Wytheville but it is still unclear who he is or what his demands are.
No injury has been reported and it was said that the gunman has allowed the hostages to call their families to tell them that they are okay.
Out of the five people, three of the hostages were employees at the post office and two were said to be customers. One of the hostages is 41-year-old Jim Oliver, Jr. of Wytheville who was running an errand to the post office for the business when the gunman entered the post office.
The hostage situation at Wytheville VA started at about 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
See the videos below for more information about the hostage situation:

As many of you might now, Jennifer Lopez falls during her performance of her new song, “Louboutins” , at the 2009 American Music Awards at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre on Sunday.
She did fall but it seems it doesn’t hurt her at all as she got back up right away, got into a costume change and finished off her knock-out performance. Talk about composure!
Charla Nash, the victim of a chimpanzee attack is well and okay. Though physically disfigured, her spirit is well and she inspires us with her fight to keep alive.
Her story starts with helping a friend retrieve some keys that a chimpanzee had taken. The chimpanzee was owned by Nash’s friend. But while trying to retrieve the keys, Charla was attacked by the chimpanzee, the attack was so terrible that it ripped her eyes off, destroyed her nose, and literally erased her lips. Her jawbone was also badly damaged. The chimpanzee also ripped off both her hands. Her friend called 911. The police officer who responded to the call killed the 200-pound chimp.
We can all learn something from this story. First, be cautious with a chimpanzee. I do not know anything about them but this story shows that chimpanzees can be wild and dangerous. Second, life is worth fighting for. Her decision to show herself on the show is truly an inspiring one.
HBO has released the Pacquiao vs Cotto 24/7 pre-fight behind the scenes video footage to again lure potential PPV viewers come fight night. In a 20 something minutes of video footage, both camps were shown as hard-working but far from perfect.
At Pacquiao’s side, his team looks as if everything is ready to fall apart. From the discord among Team Pacquiao’s members to the Pacman’s loss of focus himself, it looks like they are not ready for the toughest fight of their lives.
Cotto’s team on the other hand looks almost ready and are preparing for the fight by anticipating the Pacman’s every move through watching previous recorded fights. Cotto himself looks undaunted and very focused and with the all out support of his family, he has got nothing else to ask for.
Watching the 2 episodes, it looks as if Cotto has the advantage. Watch the 2nd episode and see for yourself:
