I was surfing through the web on my Facebook account when a friend posted something that caught my attention.. I clicked on it, played the video and watched.. then I couldn't stop smiling!
Has anyone seen 5 characters dancing gracefully in one tune and in 100% synchronicity? Sure, we have seen it.. But how about this video?

Lessons learned:
1. Having 22" rim on a heavy sedan (Cadillac CTS) = Good
- With a flat tire, the car still kept going without any unnoticeable change in handling or stability. Car's ride height didn't change much. That's without a run-flats.
2. Replacing one of these big tires is too expensive.
- These tires cost twice as much as a regular tire.
5:45 PM
I went back to Sears Auto Center to pick up my new tire. They installed it in just a few minutes and re-checked all tire pressures. I went home straight after paying the whole cost and damn, it really hurts in my pocket.. Hopefully this new tire will last for a year or so..
I brought tire to Sears Auto Center. I had them check my the puncture or cause of deflation of my tire. Eventually they found the hole and unfortunately, it is on the side wall, making the tire unrepairable. I had to purchased a new tire that costs $140 plus installation fee and taxes that totals to $178!

My Flat Tire and AAA Roadside Assist Experience
January 24, 2010 at 12:00 AM
I drove to Long Beach together with my younger brother to to take our cousin home. The road is almost empty. It's dark and you can't see a thing past where my headlights cover.
12:45 AM
We arrived at my cousin's house. We dropped him off and we headed back home. On our way back, we had a detour because the junction from 710-N to 91-E is closed. I had to take 91-W and exit on the next ramp, and take the opposite ramp towards 91-E.
Around 1:00 AM to 1:10 AM
When we got back on track, I noticed that one of the tires on my side (the driver side) sounds a bit louder than it used to when i run over a reflector in the freeway. I kinda wondered why and thought that maybe i have a flat tire but the the handling of the car hasn't changed. It doesn't feel heavy to turn or change lane. It doesn't shake. And it doesn't pull to the side. So I just kept on going for a little bit farther..
A few miles later...
I still can't get the loud sound off my mind so I decided to pull over. I took the exit ramp in Norwarlk just after the 91 and 605 junction. I stopped in the parking in front of Jollibee, located near Seafood City.
1:15 AM
I was surprised to see my left front tire flat, and as I get closer to the tire, I could hear air escaping. I remembered that I have a spare tire in my trunk so I went ahead and checked. Then I realized that I don't have the needed tool to remove the cover for the wheel locks! Great!

Netflix: Satisfies Your Craving on Movies
Netflix eh? Yes! Netflix! N, E, T, F, L, I, X. Netflix! Ok, so what is Netflix? Come on people, use Google to search it up.. Just kidding!
*Netflix is a service offering online flat rate DVD and Blu-ray disc rental-by-mail and video streaming in the United States. Established in 1997 and headquartered in Los Gatos, California, it has amassed a collection of 100,000 titles and approximately 10 million subscribers.
Fortunately, I am one of that approximately-10-million subscribers and I'm really happy being one. I have a monthly payment of $13.99 and that comes with unlimited movie streaming anytime, anywhere plus unlimited rental of 2 DVDs of my choice (using DVD Queue) delivered to my doorstep at a time and without due dates or penalty fees! So for me, this service is really worth getting. It's really cheap compared to other services like Blockbuster or even the $1 per night rental on RedBox! But of course, there's a catch. Not all the new releases are available in Netflix for streaming nor with a DVD. You'll gonna have to wait a little bit longer for those movies.
Interested now in Netflix? Wait! Don't leave my site yet! Let me tell you first how I maximize the DVDs I get per month!
So What Really is AdSense?
When I started, all i knew was that AdSense is a program from Google that you can use to put ads on your website and get paid for it if someone visits your site, gets interested with ads, then clicks them. Pretty simple you think? It's not that easy..
AdSense also have rules of course. Like you can't click the ads on your own website. You also can't use another computer to click on them coz that's cheating. You can't also ask someone to click the ads for you with a promise of an incentive of any sort. To make it short and simple, you can't do anything except customizing where they go in your website, what size, or form, and of course, advertise your website to generate more traffic.
Anyway, I have received messages too that AdSense is just a big scam! Wait! What?! A scam? How? Well, some says that whenever they reach, or before they reach the minimum cap ($100), AdSense would close their account, claiming that the account had fraudulent activities to generate money.
