Pop Ups No More!

About 2 weeks ago, I received a message from a co blogger informing me about the pop ups that appeared when she visited my site "one being a normal pop up, the other was something that was really offensive, it was for a porn site". I was alarmed by this message because I am not aware of those pop ups. I have a pop up blocker that's why I don't see any whenever I view my blog and it was only when I disabled my blocker that I was able to see them. At that moment I panicked, because I don't know how I got them and don't wanna offend my readers by pop ups that links to any porn site.

So what did I do?

First, I removed the most recent HTML I have encoded in my sidebar but didn't work.
Second, I made a post asking for Help!and I found out that I'm not the only one who has the same problem.
Third, I asked help from a reliable friend, Joliber and he didn't fail me. Immediately he posted an entry about Blogger.com Malware Attacks | Move or Be Deleted in the Blogosphere. According to him, it's a serious problem that needs to be addressed that's why he searched the Internet to get at least a close hypothesis regarding the root of this trouble and fortunately, he found this post under the Log in Issues of Blogger Help Group.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fine bloggers, There has been a decent amount of chatter recently from people who are concerned about losing access to their blogs due to a malware Terms of
Service violation. While this is admittedly an imperfect system at the
moment, please understand that all of these efforts are in place with
the best of intentions. Malware is a very serious issue and our standards have to err a bit on the side of caution for the sake of securing our users and our
service. It’s nothing personal we promise.

That being said, and after putting a good amount of thought into the
issue, we think it is only fair to give everyone a chance to clean up
their blogs. So here is the plan that we have come up with:


Step 1: Locate and remove malware from your template

My guess is that many of you folks have either custom templates or
third party gadgets, and the malware is somewhere within that code
that you copy and pasted into your template. -Open up the Html editor from either the Template | Edit Html or
Layout | Edit Html tab. -Select ‘Expand Widgets Templates’ to show all of the code. -Now comes the tricky part of pulling out the nefarious code.
Oftentimes, it is located at the bottom of the page so starting from
the bottom is a good idea. Look for things like script and iframe
tags that link out to third party URLs, stat counters, as well as
third-party javascript elements. Remove these items from your template
and then make sure to save it afterwards.


Step 2: Submit your cleaned up URL into the appeal form below:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pZHHZdeYKeHgXlmtdMIRfbw&…

Step 3: Within 48 hours we will review your submission and, if it is
free of malware, go ahead and restore your blog. I will post a list of
restored URLs every other day at the following link:
http://groups.google.com/group/blogger-help/web/restored-urls-from-ma…

This list is also located within the ‘Resources’ Section of the
Blogger Help Group. If you do not see your link after 48 hours, then you can assume that
the malware was not removed. You may then repeat the process and re-
submit, if you wish. Thanks for hanging in there everyone, -Gatsby


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did these steps and found no scripts nor iframe in my template so that means it's not the cause of my pop ups. Joliber again informed me that there were reports that it is caused by rank widgets. So I tried to delete it and the pop ups indeed disappeared. I have submitted my URL and has been restored and verified as free of malware. I am now sharing with you this information because I know some of you are also having this problem. I hope this will help you.

***Some reports also says that 3rd party widgets like site counters, traffic feeds and popular pages may cause unwanted pop ups.

One day isang araw ni Inday

Masyado akong naaliw habang binabasa ko ito mula sa email ko. It's really funny and I hope you'll also enjoy reading it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was jazz an ordinary day.
The skies were clear, the birds were chipping. Ang ganda-ganda ng araw!

Nasa SM ako noon at katatapos ko lang mamili ng groceries. Timing naman nasa foodcore si Angel Locsin, nagpro-provoke ng movie nya. Grabe, andaming fans,
pull-packed talaga! Dahil fans nya rin ako, nakipila rin ako.

Then suddenly, out of the loo, may bumulong sa akin ng: "Indaaaayyyy. ....."

Huh? It sounded like a familiar sound. Who can it be now?

"Dodong!" sigaw ko.

Napalakas yata voice ko. Kasi the other fans turned their backs to their behind at napatingin sa amin. Sabi ko "Sorry, I didn't mean to be loud and proud." Hinawakan na lang ni Dodong ang kamay ko at lumayo kami from the crowd.

"Kamusta na Inday? Do you come here open? tanong nya.

"Bihira lang, Dodong. I'm just droppings by. Ethnic and schedule ko eh" sabi ko.

Memories came flushing in my mind. How can I forget to remember Dodong? Siya na may mata ni Piolo, dimple ni Aga, at bigote ni Rex Cortez. he's every woman's dreamboat. I was just starting my tour of duty kay ate noon nang unang makilala ko si Dodong. Contraction worker siya sa ginagawang bahay sa tapat namin. Naging kami for a while then after that were not an item
anymore.

"Tanghali na Inday. What did you say we have lunch together?" tanong ni Dodong. "I don't mine" sagot ko.
Sa restaurant, nilapitan kaagad kami ng waiter. "What's your odor sir?" sabi nung waiter kay Dodong.

"Do you have porkshop?" tanong ni Dodong.

"Yes sir" sabi nito. "Our porkshop with a resistance to the teeth of boast of our chef. Domestic careful selection of pork with little fat of female liking is used.. The exquisite cooking which repeated trial and error and was completed. it also has healthy vegetables with salad feeling fully" dagdag niya.

"And you mam?" sabay tingin naman sa akin.

Hmmm... mukhang masarap yung porkshop. Pero I'm cutting down on my carbon kaya pinigilan ko.

"I'll just have water, thanks. Liquidate diet ako eh." sagot ko.

Pagkatapos kumain, nagyaya si Dodong manood ng sine. Teka teka, this is going too far. Besides, it's a long, long way to run.

"Reality chess, Dodong. May asawa na ako, si Jay. As a mother of fact, I'm happily married" pagmamalaki ko.

"Di na pwede yung tulad ng dati. Sorry pero I didn't expect you still have more feelings than I expected. i don't want you getting the way. Past is fast. Therefore, cause and defect." dagdag ko pa.

Tumahimik sya. Parang may language barrel na namagitan sa amin. The seconds that passed seemed like fraternity. Di nagla-on, nagsalita na rin sya.

"I don't care less!" sigaw ni Dodong.

Shocks, give me a brake! The nerd ng taong ito para sigawan ako! To think it's his other woman that caused our separation to part.

Kinabahan na ako. I felt speedbumps all over my body and was having panic attach. Tinalikuran ko siya at nagmadali akong lumakad palayo. Pero sumunod pa rin siya like a monkey on my butt. Hanggang sa makakita ako ng security guard. Biglang nawala si Dodong.

"Excuse me kuya, pwedeng magtanong?" sabi ko sa mamang guard.

"Of course miss, I can help you with my pleasure." sagot niya.

"Saan po ba ang exit? Could you point me to the right erection? I got lost in my eyes."

"Diretso lang." sabi niya. "Then turn right anytime with care."

"Thanks for your corporation" sabi ko.

Buti na lang nandun si kuya. Pero saglit lang, I smell something peachy. As I turned, nakita ko na namang nakasunod si Dodong! Delaying static lang pala
kanina ang pag disappear nya.

"Nyahahaha! You can run but you can hide, Inday. No matter where you go, there you are!" pananakot nya.

Oh no, is this the end? This is too much, I feel degradable. My world started falling afar.

Then suddenly, Jay come from behind! Dodong was caught to the act! In the matter of minute, it's all over. I'm out of arm's way.

"Thanks Jay, my love. But how did you?" bago pa man ako matapos, sabi niya:

"I was in the neighborhood. Fans din ako ni Angel eh. I heard you shout but at first I didn't give it a thought. Pero nang makita ko kayong magkahawak ng holding hands, then i give it a thought. I know something is a missed."

From then on, Dodong did not brother me again. In fact, he didn't even sister me. As in platonic at wala na talaga.

Pero kami ni Jay, heto, shoot sailing pa rin ang relationship. Lalo pa ngayon, open na kami sa isa't-isa at walang exhibitions. i feel I'm on cloud.

Help!

If you noticed, I have pop ups here and unfortunately I don't know how I got them nor remove them.

Can anyone help me?

Joy Ride

Ngayong araw na ito ang tinakdang tigil pasada o welga ng bayan ng iba't ibang transport groups di lamang sa Metro Manila kundi pati sa mga probinsya. Sa kabila nito ay hindi sinuspinde ang pasok ngayon sa Elementarya, Highschool at College. Naalala ko tuloy noong nag-aaral pa ako sa FEU sa may Recto kung saan madalas nagtitipon ang mga rallyista lalo na kapag may Welga ng Bayan. Magulo, Maingay at walang sasakyan, lahat ng tao naglalakad. Huli na kung isuspinde ang klase kaya naman naranasan kong lakarin ang kahabaan ng Espanya mula Recto hanggang Welcome Rotonda.

-----------------------------------------


Narinig ko sa balita kagabi na nangako ang MMDA na magtatala sila ng mga sasakyan para sa mga commuters at libre ang sakay dito. Totoo nga naman at may libreng sakay para sa mga pasaherong kailangan pumasok sa katunayan narinig ko sa isang Radyo na dito sa Monumento ay may 6x6 truck na nagpapasakay sa mga tao. Akalain mo?! Isang Truck?! Paano naman sasakay ang mga babae dito? lalo na yung mga nakapalda at nagoopisina? Naalala ko nanaman noong nag-aaral ako sa Fatima University sa Valenzuela, walang Welga o Tigil Pasada noon pero may bagyo at alam naman natin na umaabot hanggang leeg ang tubig kapag umaapaw ang Tulyahan River dun dahilan ng pagpigil sa mga bus at jeep na dumaan dun. Isang 6x6 Truck din ang nagpasakay sa aming mga estudyante at dahil desperado na kaming makauwi ay sumakay kami kesehodang nakapalda at nakaputi kaming uniporme. Nakakatawa kapag naalala ko ito dahil noong bababa na kami sa Monumento ay di na namin alam kung paano dahil sa taas ng Truck. Hindi rin namin maalala kung paano kami nakasampa at nakasakay dun... Isang pangyayari ito na marahil di lang ako ang nakaranas at sigurado akong sa araw na ito ay may mga makakaranas. Inaasahan ba ng gobyerno na matutuwa ang mga tao sa solusyong ginagawa nila tugon sa Tigil Pasada ngayong araw na ito? Bakit ba kailangan pang humantong sa ganitong pangyayari bago nila pansinin ang reklamo ng mga Transport Group?

Pilipinas, Handa k n b?

Mukhang nagpapahiwatig na si VP Noli de Castro sa mga interviews nya. Sinusuportahan nya ang sigaw ng sambayanan na lumabas ang katotohanan at tutol din sya sa EO 464 na syang nagbabawal sa mga public officials na tumestigo sa Senado. Bukod pa dito hindi sya inimbita ng Malacanang sa kanilang salo-salo noong nakaraan Biernes. Narinig ko sa programa ni VP noong Sabado na tinatanong nya si Sec. Ermita kung bakit di sya inimbita sa okasyong iyon pero dinedma lang sya nito at sa isang balita kung saan tinanong ang Malacanang kung bakit wala si VP sa pulong ni Presidente kasama ang mga Heneral noong Biernes sagot nila ay di naman kailangan ang presensya ni VP sa meeting na iyon. Hala!...

Ngayon, sinasabi ni de Castro na handa syang humalili kay Arroyo sakaling mabakante ang posisyon nito. Kung mangyayari ito... Pilipinas, Handa k n b sa isang bagong pamumuno?

Palace in denial

After the ZTE deal controversy erupted, Malacanang has come out swinging against the involvement of FG and some government officials in the attempted bribery of the said project. Statements from Arroyo's supporters opposes each other as they give their own stories and explanations about the allegation.

Are the President’s men arguing reasonably?

In a radio interview of Pres. Arroyo last week, she admitted that she knew about the problem before signing the contract for the NBN-ZTE project but because of the very short notice she cannot cancel it right away. She didn't mention what the problem was and it's only when Secretary Golez made a slip of the tongue that there had been an attempted bribery. Contradicting to Ermita's previous statement that there's no problem with the project.

The insinuation that the Palace is in denial led the people to shout and fight for the truth. This is the reason why people are making noises through rallies. We want the truth and as long as the government ignores this issue, and keep those government officials involved to testify about their knowledge especially Sec. Romulo Neri, this will never be put to rest.

************

Neri holds key information on the ZTE deal because the proposals for the NBN project were reviewed by NEDA during his term. On September 5, Neri was reported to have been offered P200-million bribe to support the NBN project with ZTE.
