But are you aware that there are viruses lurking out there for a new victim!

Social website Viruses can compromise our privacy and sensitive information without knowing. It not just Facebook that is the target of this malicious worms or applications but other social websites as well.

This news really saddens me. I fell in love with Taiwan from the first time I set foot on this place. Taiwan is really a very nice place with great culture and disciplined people. Soon it will be our second home so I hope news like this wouldn’t happen again.

CISHAN, Taiwan (CNN) — A typhoon that struck Taiwan and China earlier this month killed more people in Taiwan than previous estimates, the government announced.

At least 376 people are now known to have died when Typhoon Morakot hit Taiwan, Taiwan’s Central Emergency Operation Center said Tuesday. At least 254 people are still missing, and at least 46 people were injured. Emergency services also reported that 60 human limbs had been found, separately from the number of dead and wounded.

Finally, I have my own Wordpress blog hosted in the most widely used domain and web hosting by most blogger I know. This is made possible by Dreamhost who gave me this Free Web hosting with Unlimited Bandwidth and Unlimited Space plus a Domain of my own choosing for 2 years.

If I would pay for this free web host and domain for 2 years it would cost me more than $200, well I don’t have to pay that a lot of money for now that’s why it free!
