Ashitaba: Tommorow's Leaf

Ashitaba (Japanese name "ashitaba", Angelica Keiskei Koidzumi), or commonly called by Filipinos as "Asitaba," A herbal plant originated from Izlu Island. That gives profound effect if administered vocally orally like a lettuce. My father at age 60 consumed the herb regularly, and he experienced a revitalizing effect with his eye sight. He usually uses a reading glass in able to read text messages with the help of magnifying glass. Afterwards, he doesn't use the glasses anymore. With his arthritis also, that usually gets a load of his uric acid and making his feet swollen has magically improved. Several friends of him have began using the said plant, and testified favorable results in their blood pressure, diabetes and colon ailments. I am also convinced, and using its boiled leaves to make milk for my two baby girls. I also have tried and used ashitaba leaves to several dishes such as papaitan, sinigang, tokwa't baboy, nilaga, bulalo, adobong pusit and ensalada.  Later I will post articles on how to use ashitaba as veggie to common filipino dishes. Making your everyday food into a healthy meal. So stay tuned. It's up to you my readers to believe it or not, you can always do more research in order for you to determine if this benefits you or not.

Globe Wimax Review

Recently subscribed to Globe Wimax to get 4G technology. I have availed the 1 mbps package for 995 pesos.

What I can say is that, the signal is consistent. There are very few bumps I encounter, intermittent disconnection.  My signal strength is around 80-90% seems good so far.
Now with the juicy part of reviews when it comes to internet service providers, the speed test.

Just made my watermark template.

Yes, got myself my own watermark I'll be using henceforth on my image uploads.

 I miss my linux system, its easier to find the right software whenever you need one.

 The watermark software I got was a trial ware, but it would be nice to have something to use to get batch photos watermarked than one by one using adobe photoshop.

White screen of death

Been experiencing "white screen of death" on my Acer. I have tested external display, its working and system is intact. I found that this is common among Acer laptops, due to defective connectors or defective LCD inverters. I did check on the back plate, re-installed the video card, memory and all. But to no avail, still just the blank white screen on the LCD.

Wine regedit tweak

Here is a wine registry tweak to boost FPS ( Framerate) when using World of Warcraft thru wine.

Type in "regedit" in the terminal console.

Then,

1. Find this key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine"
2. Highlight and select "wine" right click it, then select [NEW] then [KEY]
3. Rename the new [KEY] to "OpenGL" (this is case sensitive )
4. Select the new OpenGL [KEY] on the right pane, then right-click then create new string and name it "DisabledExtensions" (once again case sensitive) then modify the value name it, "GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object"

Should look like this.
