TCP: Silent Hill

Another movie for this week! I am really loving this meme. I really enjoy doing movie reviews or sharing to you guys how different (and Kaye can attest to that) my taste is. For this week the theme is Suspense or Thriller movie.

Silent Hill is a game turned movie. A lot of gamers who are very familiar with Silent Hill have a lot of things to say. First the story is not what it supposed to be or something to that effect. And as it with any movie coming from a book or a game or a series, the first of its kind is always the better. I don’t really mind as I am not familiar with the game. I only learned about this being a game after I finished watching it and I am looking for answers and all. I am always like that, after or before a movie, I could not stop digging for more information.

The movie Silent Hill is about a mother (Rose) and her adopted child, Sharon. Sharon is notorious for her sleep walking and the constant mention of Silent Hill while sleeping. Finally, Rose decided to take Sharon on a trip to the mysterious place. She wants to make an end to what is it that’s missing in Sharon’s life.

Arriving at Silent Hill, Sharon run away and Rose was greeted with mysterious events. A siren, a burned like figures haunting her. Finally another human being came to the rescue, a police officer. Together they discover the truth behind the mysterious place. Together they uncovered the past of her adopted daughter. There is a dark, dark secret that surrounds it all.

Meanwhile, her husband came down looking for Rose and their kid. It was later revealed that Rose, Sharon and the police officer was in a different dimension. It was a scene where the husband was roaming in Silent Hill, in a different Silent Hill and they almost bumped to each other. The husband discovered the history of the place, of where Sharon came from and how dark the place was.

Later it was revealed that Sharon came from Alessa. A very young and innocent but powerful girl. A girl who experienced nothing but worse from the townsfolk. A child who found solace in a very dangerous creature. Sharon was part of Alessa, the innocent Alessa. Now, Rose must face the challenge of saving her innocent Sharon and helping Alessa to finish her business with the townsfolk.

Sorry guys if this took so long, this is really my favorite movie of all time. More than a suspense film it also capture the love of a mother to her child, may it be her own or not. The movie was really captivating, story aside, the effects was really great. This a horror film that I really really love. It was not scary and to top it all it does not make me cringe (unlike Hostel and the likes..ugh!)

Let’s Talk About Partial Hysterectomy

From my article about Tubal Ligation, a very nice lady commented her views about it (it’s Aria!). From here comment, I can sense some discomfort on her part. I researched more and asked around about their Tubal Ligation experiences. I am still gathering information, maybe I will post a first hand information by Friday. I was curious about Partial Hysterectomy (again thanks to Aria). And being a curious cat, I cannot let this one pass. So indulge with me as again I flood your MWF nights with endless medical terms and illustrations.

Let us first define HYSTERECTOMY. It is surgical operation where in a Gynecologist removes the uterus and the cervix. (ouch!) Removal of the uterus can mean only one thing, no more childbirth so this can be considered as a permanent birth control. My research brought me to believe that Hysterectomy is not mainly done to gain permanent birth control. In most cases it is done to prevent cancer cell build ups. In most cases it is done because something came up (like placenta praevia) or for transmen (sex transition to become a man) as part of their sexual transformation.

How about Partial Hysterectomy? Literally, partial means not whole or just a part, so it follows that when you speak of Partial Hysterectomy it means partial removal of the uterus.

I have to stop right now because I am cringing… sorry guys. I can’t be a doctor! waaah!!!

If you have more information about Hysterectomy or Partial Hysterectomy, feel free to comment on the ~~grossest~~ technical (medical) way. On Wednesday, let’s take a look on another permanent birth control, and this time it’s for the boys! yay!

Readers From The United States (IMRC Policy)

From my previous post, where I said I EARNED $50 from IMRC, I forgot to mention that the site is quite strict when it comes to International Policy. Earlier this year, the membership was open to all countries, a week or so after that, some Asian countries were banned. Here is a detailed explanation as to why: from IMRC FAQ page

We currently accept new users from all countries except the following:

India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Philippines, Singapore

Unfortunately we’ve experienced a tremendous amount of fraudulent and inappropriate use of the IM Report Card website from users in these countries, and until we figure out an efficient way to combat this we can’t accept users from these countries.

If you are in one of these countries and want to use IM Report Card responsibly, please accept our sincerest apologies. We know it doesn’t seem “fair”.

Until we figure out a way to efficiently deal with this problem, you’re free to use the site as a resource – you just can’t post comments or earn credits.

Users in certain other locations will be asked to provide additional information upon signing up, and based on this information the user will be approved or denied.

Please note: Do NOT attempt to use proxy servers or other methods to hide your IP address and/or location in an attempt to circumvent this policy. If you do, we WILL catch you, and you will be permanently banned from accessing the site.

Around August, the ban was lifted in the Philippines, for a time they allowed new users from our country granted you provide an explanation on what you know about Internet Marketing. I cannot say I am lucky that I was accepted, I knew a lot about Internet Marketing and I know my grammar and English is not excellent but it’s OK.

Now, they updated their International Policy and this is what they have to say (from IMRC blog)

Effective immediately we are no longer accepting new users from the Philippines, Malaysia or Singapore. We are just seeing too much fraud and inappropriate use of the site coming from these countries. For all the details on our updated policy on international users, please see this Frequently Asked Question on the FAQs page.

Active existing users from these countries are NOT affected by this policy change.

We are however canceling existing user accounts from these countries who signed up and have no activity and no credits owed.

So to all those who signed up under me.. this is the reason why..

My offer for those who will sign up under me still stands.. and this specially applies to my READERS FROM THE UNITED STATES(whatever race is your origin as long you are in the US). Sign up under me and gain more than the usual cash out of $20.

If you sign up under me, I am giving a 50% cash out incentive on your first cash out. Succeeding cash outs will give you another 30% from me.
