earth hour...

see the difference you can make 8pm March 29 created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming. http://www.earthhour.org/

another fruitful year had passed, a year worthy of remembering, i am thankful to God for all the blessings and hoping for more to come in the coming years and for the new chapter in my life… i owe everything to God, to my family and my friends, without one of them life can be as ugly as it could be... peace!

water...

just finished fixing a burnt electrical wire up above our ceiling, did some cleaning of my transportation module as well and while doing those things i observed that i don't sweat that much anymore maybe because i have no water in my body or rather i don't have enough... i don't know why i dislike drinking water even i know that its bad for me, all i have is coke and coffee inside my body right now and sooner or later my body will become a coke and coffee dispenser... in the past years i jog at the capitol lagoon not every morning but maybe twice a week and during that time i can finish off a pitcher of water easily... but right now i don't drink that much anymore and i think it's time for me to change the habit, i MUST drink 8 glasses of water everyday.. i MUST, i MUST... good luck to me then... peace!

cancer...

its been awhile since the last time i checked on some national news, as i opened the television the headline says that former pres. aquino is suffering from colon cancer… what went back into my memory is my father, it was 5 years ago when my father succumbed to colon cancer, he’s first operation with the intention of removing a portion of his intestine ended with a colostomy bag placed on his stomach, cancer eaten up a large portion of the intestine that linking it back would be impossible… then the chemo therapy, we all thought that everything will be ok and really hoped for his full recovery but not after a year when examination results showed that cancer cells are back and its spreading out fast… he was again put into the table but with doctors advise that the probability of surviving is very small, it was a tough decision to make but we can see it in his eyes the will to fight and to keep on going… after the operation he recovered, me and my brother went back to manila and its not

double standard...

went to school today for something to be signed and later learned that it was just a survey, imagine waking up early just to fill up a piece of survey form, the good thing about it though is that i saw my crush again, wheheh… hrmm… we signed it anyway and then went to have lunch at chowking, it was brent’s advance graduation treat for us, after sometime talking we went to robinsons, brent and rainer played arcade games while teddy, me, jr and bagz went to bob’s for some coffee… went home at around 3:30pm… later went with my mom to sta. clara to get something… tv… hrmmm… torch lighting in greece for the coming olympics, one thing that caught my attention while a chinese official was giving his speech a demonstrator went to flash a flag behind him, i did not have the chance to read what was written on the flag, it was a quick one and security personnel came to tackle him… i don’t really agree with people who are trying to connect the tibet issue or any other issues to the beijing olympi

happy egg hunting...

the early politicians...

though this is not the 1 st time but an election controversy occurred after 33% out of 8963 electorates cast their ballot… one party cries “rule of law” while the other “stand for the truth”, a student government election fought like a national elections… a good sign or the otherwise?... I believe that it is good to see the young fight for their rights, recognizing the existence of laws that provides order in the society but I also believe that while we uphold and exercise such laws, it is important to understand the consequences of our actions… what I am saying is about when 2 parties comes to an agreement or decide on matters outright without bringing it to the higher level… the reason why our courts has a tons of pending cases because of people who simply wants to accuse one another and file charges without doing a settlement outside the four walls of the court of laws… we have written laws but these are laws are not designed to provide justice all the time, a good lawyer can

reflection...

think about God, think about the blessings He showered upon us, think about our relationship with Him... look inside our hearts and reflect, have we done enough to recognize Him as our personal savior?... what kind of road will i walk without him?... am i worthy of His love?... will i be strong to face the pain and trials?... the Lord sent his Son Jesus to save us, to teach us, to show us how much we are loved, the Lord has given us His life and your pain is no bigger than what he have suffered not for Himself but for all of us... peace!

holy week...

last day of graduation rehearsals is today but prior to that our class will have a class pictorial on our toga's at 2pm then practice follows at 3pm... yesterday is the recognition rites, went to receive our best information management system award then had a practice for the baccalaureate mass... ate lunch at sm with the dinosaur... wheheh... its the holy week, a week of reflection and reassessment of how life should go after all the trials, pain, sufferings, sadness, happiness, joy... and the list continues... God is great and He's aways within guiding me in everything and yet i'm still a sinner and no doubt God still loves me for what i am... thank you so much Lord my life is being offered for Your glory!... peace!

deadlock...

a strongly binded minds... found scattered at the end... reasons over reasons... pride over pride... hate over hate... prowess over prowess... a clash of ideas... for the undefined feat... who will fall?... who will celebrate?... all but not one...

F1 is back...

F1 is back and yes my ferreri's started badly, theres a lot of car crashes for the whole race... pacquiao won by split decision over marquez... officially it's summer already but last night it rained so hard also by mid afternoon today... the climate is really unpredictable nowadays... peace!

what a fun day...

it was a fun saturday indeed, we started the day by going to sta. fe for an early morning swimming season with jr, rainer and reyson it lasted for about 2 hours then we ate our breakfast at chowking... from there jr went to his practice and reyson to an unknown location... hahaha... rainer and i went straight to punta taytay to join brent, jan and the rest of the bsim student which are having a coastal clean up activity... then later went to jan's house to have some lunch and kill some time before going home... fun! fun! fun!... hehhe... also yesterday at teddy's place we asked nanay (teddy's loyal helper)to cook for us some spaghetti, so we went to grab some groceries at lopues east then later returned again to buy a gallon of ice cream, it's our way of celebrating the end of the long and hard struggles in our college life... more pictures on my multiply page... peace!

wysiwyg...

on my laptop the blogger using FF refuse to show the wysiwyg editor but using IE it works just fine, i keep on looking for a possible setting that i may accidentally changed but i found nothing and i can't understand why... hrmmm... the last exam of my university life is already done and soon enough i'll be out in the real world hunting for a job again to support my very simple life and when i say very simple life i really mean it... i'm the type that hesitates to buy a shirt that is more that 500, i do not buy shoes that cost 5k, i would not want to spend 2k for a pair of pants, going back while i'm still working in manila, my hard earned money is usually spent on food, food, food and more food... whehhe... peace!

wednesday...

did nothing the whole day but sleep, eat and watch tv... i don't have an exam today so i decided to stay home but it did me no good at all... tomorrow i will have two exams, on networking we will have a practical task, we will make a LAN cable it's either you do the straight connection or the crossover connection depending on what our prof gives us... friday will be a free day and by next week graduation practice starts... i'm excited to receive my diploma.. wheheh... peace!

only technical...

the nbn saga continues and a new witness named leo san miguel came out with a bomb shee..e..ee.ll errr... puff... he was supposed to be a surprise witness but it turned out that he indeed surprised the senators with a different story... sen. lacson was in high spirit when the hearing is about to start but after the first word coming from the witness everything changed dramatically... he denies knowing about the over pricing... etc.. etc... in simple words he knows nothing but only technical matters... but admitted knowing some people involved and have attended a lot of meetings with them but when asked what are to roles of some personalities he would simply respond that he don't know... can you believe that?... i wonder how sen. lacson feels right now... peace!

w28...

[1:25pm] went to school earlier than expected i help out a friend on her ms access topic, later went to teddy's place with jan to have some lunch on the way jan bought a roasted chicken... as of this time we're inside W28 waiting for their 1:30 class, mine is at 3:00pm, still have a lot of waiting to do... heheh... we will also attend a talk later in corp 2, my prof told me its from intel-neo and i don't have any clue with regards to them... be back later... peace! [1:53pm] they are all gone for their ethics class and here i am all alone in the room right in front of the airconditioner... heheh... its really hot outside not that summer hot but almost, and the smell of the dishes being cooked from the ICA kitchen is all over the place... peace!

misjudged...

i'm done for the day but when i saw this video on youtube i can't stop myself from posting it here... it's the binibining pilipinas pageant and that's Janina San Miguel the winner... my goodness??... that's the kind judges wants to send to compete abroad???... judge it yourself... peace!

boredom...

had an early breakfast with my mom at mcdo after the mass and some groceries then spent the whole day surfing the net and watching movies... my life seems not that colorful right now the way i see it, ive asked jan and teddy to go out and later changed my mind bcoz i feel like staying at home and too tired to go out, i ended up watching a movie again and went channel surfing on tv... i feel like i want to cry but i don't know why and even if i know i still want to ask my self why?... i think i'm going crazy... but seriously there's a lot of things that been bothering me... i need to find a job thats one... i need to go out this country thats two... three, i need a wireless router... four, my desktop mouse is broken... my super crush now has a bf thats five, nyhahahah... what else?... there's like plenty of them that if i keep on writing them all i will never end until the next week... whehhe... life is full of challenges and i just need to keep on moving... it's alw

the refusal...

it's a rainy saturday in the city, i was home the whole day b'coz i was too tired to go out... bagz texted me to have some coffee but i refused to go... what? did i said it right?... coffee?... refused??... nyheheh... i still enjoyed a good cup of coffee while at home though... i watched no country for old men and gone baby gone , both films was really good specially gone baby gone which was directed by ben affleck, it's a 2007 film released in the philippines sometime in december... the story is about a little girl who disappeared, a film full of drama, conspiracy and mystery... i won't say what's the ending of the story for you to watch it yourself... peace!

no more...

my pandela hosting account which is a free one was finally terminated because pandela decided to shutdown their free hosting service... so right now i don't have my online portfolio, whynot get a paid hosting instead?... actually i was thinking of getting one but i want also to maximize its use and right now i can't really think of something... the baby project i wanted to create for our bcdone is not even moving... oh my, even the bcdone portfolio is now shutdown... tsk! need to have it up and running again... we have a new project, this one is a patient record system coupled with an inventory and point of sale system, right now we are still at the planning stage for our proposal... i see no problem with the first to modules but with the POS i still need to do some research about the pros and cons because normally we see POS done in C++ or alike but not in a web based form... though online there's a lot web based POS and i still need to look into it... peace!

St. Therese...

pilgrim relics of St. Therese is currently displayed at the C armelite Monastery, this morning i together with teddy, his cousin tiny and her friends was there as volunteers to guide the devotees ... also known as Therese of the Child Jesus, the saint from Lisieux, France became a nun at the age of 15 and lived a simple life of prayer and taught a spirituality of attending to everyone and everything well and with love... at 24, she died from tuberculosis and the world came to know her through here autobiography, Story of a Soul, where she described her life as a “little way of spiritual childhood”... on the report of the visit read here ... peace!

monthsary...

monthsary, what the heck is monthsary??... searching for a meaning i found nothing in the net and nothing in the dictionary, so why do some people use the word?... okay, let me explain this one, most refer monthsary as a celebration of something like a relationship done every month on the day that corresponds to the actual date when the relationship started... young filipinos are so passionate and inlove enough to count and celebrate the relationship every month until they reach one year... so that's monthsary, for some this is the root of break ups... ahahaha... you don't even celebrate your birthday every month! which is more significant because you are celebrating LIFE... your LIFE!... but yeah who really cares, there's nothing wrong with that, specially when you're inlove... peace!

pirates...

in my previous post i've mentioned about the newly opened shopping center 888 here in the city and the store that sells sex toys... just this morning the store was raided by the authorities for selling those illegal items... it's good to see the city legal office do their job of implementing the laws and ordinances in the city... maybe the optical media board would also conduct a raid for pirated dvd's while they comes cheap but it's still illegal... change! we want change... peace!

the path...

blogger error reference number bX-bo6lh, why am i posting it here? well as always i'm too lazy to report it to blogger that's why... i've been a witness of some couples who were in love so much that almost everyday you see them together, an example of perfect relationship as we thought but later learned that they separated ways already... that's how life is, we deal with lots of problems along the way that makes us change the direction we walk through, often we made a wrong turn but finds our way back at the end of the road before walking a new road again... but there are alsotunnels that seems endless, dark and that we have walked long enough that going back is not a good idea anymore, so we struggle to find the light that will lead us to a new path... life is never consistent, change is inevitable, that's why we need to think well before making our decisions, we must control our faith and must let God lead our way... peace!

blender...

downloaded and installed blender , noooo!... its not the thing that you use to make fruit shakes, its a 3d animation software and the nice thing about this one is its free to download and free to use... i really wanted to learn 3d animation, last summer we went to see how some disney films were made, each animator have this 2 wide lcd monitors running on mac and its really interesting to see them draw and create those cartoon movies... i just wish that i could also learn those things but my first problem is that i don't know how to draw... nyahha... this afternoon i did some vacuuming on my cars interior, its been months since the last time and the dust is already starting to accumulate... peace!

the magic coin...

went to teddy's house to check on our OS project about data scheduling, when i arrived jan and bagz were already there, we had a great time laughing at teddy's magic coin that knows what lies ahead in the future according to him... then at around 3:00pm went to kuppa to have some coffee after a while brent arrived... we stayed there doing our usual business, laugh trip again... we decided to leave the place at around 5:00pm and went to see the newly opened 888 mall and found it not so interesting except for the dildo shop they found at the second floor... hahaha... i'm not sure about that one but they saw a sign... we stayed for about 8 - 10 minutes and then went to sm before going home... its already march and in a few weeks time i will be graduating, at last my dream of wearing a toga while receiving my diploma will come true... the last time i have this chance was in tup-visayas and i did not even went up the stage, i was near the electrical building clapping for my cla
