Way back May 10, 1993, Mr. and Mrs. Pempengco were very happy to have their first offspring delivered. They were blessed with a baby girl, and was baptized in the name of Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco(Charice real name). The real world of this young diva had started, her mom have witnessed the development of Charice´s talent in singing which is undeniably inherited from her. The fact that Charice´s mom is a talented singer. The distinction of being a diva was obvious, back to her early childhood.
Charice has practiced very hard to enhance her singing talent more exuberantly as she passes through her pace of life. As gifted with a powerful, soulful voice, dancing talent and overall stage present, Charice is well on her way of achieving her highest dreams. She had brought home the bacon, in most of her singing contest. The audience was wowed by her jaw-dropping rendition of the songs she sang. This proves her strong potential in singing. She continued joining different singing contest, and as usual the young diva bagged the title. Charice´s biggest challenge was when she entered showbiz industry, armed with her powerful voice. She joined Little Big Star Season 1, hosted by the pop princess Ms. Sarah Geronemo. Charice was not able to make it at first, she was kicked off. But she was picked up for the second time as wild card. She competed very well and gave her best performance on the show. Evidently, she always got the highest score from the judges. In the latter part of the contest, the text votes she garnered from the viewers were not enough to make her win. As a game, there´s a winner and a loser. She ends up third runner up on the grand finals. Her journey doesn´t end there; she had TV appearances on ABS-CBN and gigs around. She kept on pursuing her dreams; many projects were given to her. The luck comes along Charice´s way.
The FalseVoice channel of YouTube posted her LBS performance; "I Will Always Love You" of Whitney Houston´s hit on the digital world. Many viewers were attracted to the video. It was well delivered, and the viewers thought it was lip synching. No wonder Charice had the powerful, unbelievable vocals. Another face-off video between Charice and Bianca Ryan, America´s Got Talent winner, became popular. It brought her to the attention of Ten Songs Production, a recording company based in Sweden.
Favorite Type of Music:
Pop, Ballad & R´nB
Favorite Artists:
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey & Sarah Gernonimo

In June 2007, she flew to Stockholm and recorded seven songs. Three cover songs were mentioned; includes Whitney Houston´s "I Will Always Love You," Kate Bush´s "Running Up That Hill," and "Stay" of Shakespeare Sisters. The album also comprises originals songs, "Amazing," "All the Money in the World," "it Can Only Get Better," and "Born to Love You Forever." No further information about when it will be released. After few months, Charice´s own rendition of Dreamgirls anthem, "And I Am Telling You I´m Not Going" was released by the FalseVoice in the cyber world. A broadcasting System in Seoul, South Korea was impressed.
In October 2007, she was invited to perform on a talent show called Star King from one of the biggest television network on Korea. The audience was so much impressed by her jaw-dropping rendition of "And I Am Telling You I´m Not Going". Many viewers posted her Star King performance on YouTube, which leads her to American Television. Charice´s Star King performance was featured on E!´s The Daily Ten TV network. Star King performance with the headline "A Star Is Born", featured on November 14, 2007 brought her to be crowned as "Queen of the Week" on the Hollywood Royalty segment, at that time with the headline "A Queen Is Born" on November 16, 2007. The Ellen DeGeneres show then featured her Star King performace on its November 28, 2007 episode. Because of Charice´s magnificent way of singing, she made DeGeneres do a standing ovation. This young diva was personally invited by Ms. DeGeneres to perform on the show.
On December 19, 2007, Charice rendered "And I Am Telling You I´m Not Going" and "I Will Always Love You" on Ellen DeGeneres show. This young diva was warmly accepted, because of her talent. This made Charice the name of every Filipino household, and across the globe. The diva of different races. The proud of Filipino people. This young diva would continue to soar high, and proved that she has the power of a star.

Should You Look Into Online Computer Classes?
We are getting to the age in our history where you need to learn and know how to use some kind of electronics or you are going to be without a job. The day that we are living in today is getting to be more and more about electronics. If you haven't already thought about learning how to use a computer then you should start thinking about it now because computers are going to be the only thing that is running us in the future.

With so many jobs using computers today you are going to need to know how to use they or you might find yourself without a good job. That is why you need to be computer literate. You at least should know how to type at least like 5o to 60 words a minute. That is if you are applying for a computer job. If you were to think about it most jobs today require computers to be able to operate and run so if you are wanting to work for one of those jobs you better be able to use a computer pretty good or you are not going to be able to get that job at all.
People use computers on a daily basis I mean come on you use them to check email, chat online, buy gifts online, do work online, I mean you do everything on your computer that is if you have a computer. Most people find Microsoft office and all of its components very helpful during their days at work. It gives you word, and a few other tools to work with on your computer. If you have the old school version of windows then you need to switch to vista. Vista is so much better you have way better graphics and you are able to read things way clearer then before you had all the fine detail. The point is that people use computers every day and you are going to be using computers every day.
If you may be interested in taking computers classes online then you need to hop online today and check them out. You might actually find something that you like and want to try. There are all kinds of computer classes to choose from when you want to learn about computer tech. you can do anything from digital design to building websites.

The first step that you need to make is getting online and finding those classes then your next would be learning your computer.

Blogging Tips - A Guide On RSS Tool
More blogging tips and advices are available at www.bloggingmix.com.
RSS is an abbreviation that has evolved into the following, depending on their versions:
- RDF Site Summary (also known as RSS 0.9; the first version of RSS)
- Rich Site Summary (also known as RSS 0.91; a prototype)
- Really Simple Syndication (also known as RSS 2.0)
Today, RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication', and it has the following 7 existing formats or versions:
- 0.90
- 0.91
- 0.92
- 0.93
- 0.94
- 1.0
- 2.0
RSS tools refer to a group of file formats that are designed to share headlines and other web content (this may be a summary or simply 1 to 2 lines of the article), links to the full versions of the content (the full article or post), and even file attachments such as multimedia files. All of these data is delivered in the form of an XML file (XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language), which has the following common names:
- RSS feed
- Webfeed
- RSS stream
- RSS channel
They are typically shown on web pages as an orange rectangle that usually has the letters XML or RSS in it.
RSS feeds can be used to deliver any kind of information. Some of these 'feeds' include:
- Blogs feed - each blog entry is summarized as a feed item. This makes blog posts easier to scan, enabling 'visitors' to zoom in on their items of interest.
- Article feed - this alerts readers whenever there are new articles and web contents available.
- Forum feed - this allows users to receive forum posts and latest discussion topics.
- Schedule feed - this allows users (such as schools, clubs, and other organizations) to broadcast events and announce schedule changes or meeting agendas.
- Discounts or Special feed - this is used to enable users (such as retail and online stores) to 'deliver' latest specials and discounted offers.
- Ego or News Monitoring - this enables users to receive 'filtered' headlines or news that are based on a specific phrase or keyword.
- Industry-specific feed - used by technical professionals in order to market, promote, or communicate with current (and prospective) customers and clients within their specific industries.
RSS feeds enable people to track numerous blogs and news sources at the same time. To produce an RSS feed, all you need is the content or the article that you want to publicize and a validated RSS text file. Once your text file is registered at various aggregators (or 'news readers'), any external site can then capture and display your RSS feed, automatically updating them whenever you update your RSS file.
RSS tools are useful for sites that add or modify their contents on a regular basis. They are especially used for 'web syndication' or activities that involve regular updates and/or publications, such as the following:
- News websites - as used by major news organizations such as Reuters, CNN, and the BBC.
- Marketing
- Bug reports
- Personal weblogs
There are many benefits to using RSS feeds. Aside from being a great supplemental communication method that streamlines the communication needs of various sectors, RSS tools and feeds can also have tremendous benefits in your business, particularly in the field of internet marketing.
RSS tools and feeds provide Internet users with a free (or cheap) and easy advertising or online marketing opportunity for their businesses. Below are some of the RSS features that can help make your internet marketing strategies more effective.
1. Ease in content distribution services. With RSS, your business can be captured and displayed by virtually any external site, giving you an easy way to 'spread out' and advertise them.
2. Ease in regular content updates. With RSS, web contents concerning your business can now be automatically updated on a daily (and even hourly) basis. Internet users will be able to experience 'real time' updates as information in your own file (such as new products and other business-related releases) is changed and modified simultaneously with that of the RSS feeds that people are subscribed to.
3. Custom-made content services. With RSS, visitors can have personalized content services, allowing them total control of the flow and type of information that they receive. Depending on their interests and needs, visitors can subscribe to only those contents that they are looking for (such as real estate or job listings).
4. Increase in (and targeted) traffic. With RSS, traffic will be directed to your site as readers of your content summary (or 1 to 2 lines of your article) who find them interesting are 'forced' to click on a link back to your site.
These are just several of the many things that you can do with RSS. The possibilities are endless, and they are all aimed at providing you with an effective internet marketing strategy for your business.

Blogging Tips - Reading RSS Feeds With An RSS Aggregator
Get updated with what's up in the blogosphere. Read www.bloggingmix.com for all the latest blogging tips in the blogosphere.
RSS or Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary is the latest information management tool that is gradually earning popularity among web users and website owners. With RSS technology, it is possible to get the latest postings from your favorite websites. But clicking on the RSS or XML button in a homepage is not enough to give you the service you need. An RSS feed or code displayed in the pop-up screen if not on the main page is composed of symbols and words that would only make sense to advanced RSS users and computer programmers and software enthusiasts. Another software tool called an RSS aggregator or reader is needed.
An aggregator works by scanning the worldwide web with latest postings based on the RSS code (containing the website's URL) provided or added by the user. When it finds a new posting, news, or update, it will publish the RSS feed on your home page containing the title of the posting, which also serves as a clickable link to the website source. This RSS feed may or may not contain the whole article, a summary, and photos, depending on what RSS aggregator you are using.
Aggregators come in two types: the downloadable program or desktop-type and the online or web-based type. The desktop aggregator usually charges a certain amount for its services; this would include regular updating in the form of upgrades or patches to the original version. This type of RSS reader allows more customization of RSS feeds as well as page format or design over its on-line counterparts. But of course, price can be a drawback.
On-line or web-based aggregators are free of charge. All you need to do is register an account with them then you can start enjoying their services. Depending on the "brand" of the aggregator, customization is more limited. Some even do not allow you to customize at all.
Product and service advertisers are realizing the potential of RSS aggregators in internet marketing. In fact, several submit RSS codes to several popular web-based aggregators to reach the growing technophile and internet-based market. My Yahoo has been instrumental in popularizing RSS technology to both users and website owners and advertisers.
At present, there are many aggregators to choose from and newer versions of the same aggregator are constantly developed by its programmers.

Make Your MySpace Blog Readable - 3 Simple Tips
I know what you're thinking: "Who's anyone to tell me what I should write in my blog!"
You've got it wrong. I'm not concerned about the content of your blog; I'm just interested in the form it takes and how hard it is to look at it for any length of time.
Have you tried to read a blog that is more than a hundred words and given up?
How come?
There are three main reasons:
1. The font is waaayyy too small.
2. The font color makes it blend into the background.
3. There's no paragraphing.
Fixing any one of these on your blog will make it more readable, more enjoyable, more understandable. Fixing all three will get you lots more attention and more comments. Isn't that what you want in the first place? to get your thoughts out there and get a reaction from all your friends on MySpace?
When you choose to post a new blog entry, you're presented with your input page. You'll see pulldown menus for "font" and "size." Choose 3 or 4 for the size. This gives you an easily readable font--a joy for your viewers!
In the toolbar, you'll notice the letter "A" with an underline: this is your font color. What are we looking for here to get a good readable color? The answer is CONTRAST: if your backround is dark--choose a light font color; if the background is light--choose a dark font color. Sounds almost logical, right!
Now- paragraphing. Who wants to read one loooong mess o' words? Not me. When I see a paragraph of hundreds of words without a break--I give up. I just think it's too much work to read to the end and say, "I'm just not THAT interested."
You don't want that to happen to YOUR work--thoughts you've broken a sweat over to express.
So, add some line breaks. Hit the return button on your keyboard once in a while. To make a clean, new paragraph, hit the button TWICE to add a blank line between paragraphs.
Do those three things above, and you'll have blog that your viewers will devour with pleasure instead of skipping over.

The 3 Benefits Of Knowing Your Blog Readers
You've got it wrong. I'm not concerned about the content of your blog; I'm just interested in the form it takes and how hard it is to look at it for any length of time.
Have you tried to read a blog that is more than a hundred words and given up?
How come?
There are three main reasons:
1. The font is waaayyy too small.
2. The font color makes it blend into the background.
3. There's no paragraphing.
Fixing any one of these on your blog will make it more readable, more enjoyable, more understandable. Fixing all three will get you lots more attention and more comments. Isn't that what you want in the first place? to get your thoughts out there and get a reaction from all your friends on MySpace?
When you choose to post a new blog entry, you're presented with your input page. You'll see pulldown menus for "font" and "size." Choose 3 or 4 for the size. This gives you an easily readable font--a joy for your viewers!
In the toolbar, you'll notice the letter "A" with an underline: this is your font color. What are we looking for here to get a good readable color? The answer is CONTRAST: if your backround is dark--choose a light font color; if the background is light--choose a dark font color. Sounds almost logical, right!
Now- paragraphing. Who wants to read one loooong mess o' words? Not me. When I see a paragraph of hundreds of words without a break--I give up. I just think it's too much work to read to the end and say, "I'm just not THAT interested."
You don't want that to happen to YOUR work--thoughts you've broken a sweat over to express.
So, add some line breaks. Hit the return button on your keyboard once in a while. To make a clean, new paragraph, hit the button TWICE to add a blank line between paragraphs.
Do those three things above, and you'll have blog that your viewers will devour with pleasure instead of skipping over.
