dementia

Dementia (meaning "deprived of mind") is a serious loss of cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person, beyond what might be expected from normal aging. It may be static, the result of a unique global brain injury, or progressive, resulting in long-term decline due to damage or disease in the body. Although dementia is far more common in the geriatric population, it may occur in any stage of adulthood.

I understand it as someone losing logic.

installing wifi

There are two kinds of wireless transmitters: routers and access points. If you are building a network from scratch, you'll need a router. If you already have a wired home network but want the convenience of staying connected to the Web while you walk around the house, buy a wireless access point. It plugs into your existing hardwired router and costs about $120 to $150.

Why is rice common here?

Rice is always found in all Filipino dishes, I got curious. It is the staple food of the Filipinos beacuse it can easily be planted and suits the country's climate.

Frog and toad

Cougar is a type of big cat, consistently tan, or a type of old woman who is in search for a younger partner.

Videoke or Karaoke

These terms are quite popular in the Philippines. We love too have fun by means of these things. I got curious to where the difference lies between "videoke" and "karaoke", because most of the time I view them as the same. I searched the difference in the internet. I found out that videoke means video karaoke, a combination of these, and karaoke lies only in sing-along tapes and audio equipment. We can say that a videoke is only a type of karaoke, only that it has a video on it, that displays the lyrics and captures.
