#MyDayInBCD

Hello December! 2011 is nearing its end and as usual I will make my rwikxy's top 10 events for the year 2011, will try to make a graphical one again... vacation after Friday, alright.. peace!

Had an inquiry about which is better Ipad or Galaxy Tab from a friend of mine. I would always suggest that you need first to understand what are your needs and purpose of getting a tablet. For example, you want a Facebook apps, read news, send email or put simply productivity stuff both of them can deliver. Where will the difference be, if you intend to use your tablet for some presentation like in a projector Ipad is more likable, not saying that Galaxy tab don't have one for that. There's an Apple Video cable adapter easily mounting your Ipad to the VGA port of the projector while Samsung Galaxy Tab have a TV out cable through RGB ports... Peace!

Thinking of what to write in this lonely blog of mine and I just can't pump out words in my brain. I was feeling so off lately, not in my normal martian state again. It is always like, I want to say something but I can seem not to really understand why by mind halts its process every time I'm at the keyboard. December is just around the corner and I'm not planning for anything fancy or whatsoever. Peace!...

Just came back from a 4 days tour in Manila with our IT and CS students, was able to get another sbux city mug this time from Tagaytay. Good thing that the students enjoyed their trip and was able to visit some IT firms and got some idea what awaits them after they graduate later on. After a week, the 2nd half of the school year starts, I was told that it will be an all Android app development classes for me. I'm a bit excited for this one and hope to share a lot of things to my students... for now.. peace!

Last day of final examination tomorrow for me and 1st half of the school year comes to a close. Will be in Manila for the educational trip with some students and hopefully it will be a fun trip. Looking forward the 2nd semester, I'll be handling android development for several classes and the usual web application development. So many things to do and learn just before the start of classes. Peace...

Seems lost for awhile now... peace!

Big test tomorrow for our football national team, they are scheduled to face Sri Lanka for the World Cup 2014 Brazil qualifier. Hopes are high for the nationals in this basketball crazy country where the game of football is starting to gain grounds. Good luck Azkals! Peace!....

June! Time is really running so fast these days, school starts next week. Last month I was fortunate to attend a week long training on android sponsored by SMART telecom in CIT Cebu. It was a great experience and new things learned, also nice to see and bond with my old students Chaztine and Herian in Ayala. Tried Gelatissimo for the first time and it was good, I'm really dying to try the affogato-style but was not able to, hope to do that when I'll have a chance next time. Till next time, peace!

There's a new traffic lights being installed right exit of Robinsons Place Bacolod, this is a good news to ease up the traffic in that area, it is but important to consider that there are areas that also need traffic lights. Just this afternoon while waiting for a friend in a hamburger joint near Lacson street, I saw these 4 girls with a puppy. They're like passing it around, taking pictures like a toy,  I just don't know how stressful it feels like for the puppy to be handled like a stuffed toy. Owners should be more responsible, more than its cuteness, it has feelings too. Got a new Starbucks mugs from Taiwan through a friend of mine. Peace!

When the football national team known as the Azkals reached the AFF 2010 Suzuki Cup semi-finals the nation suddenly woke up from its deep sleep and started the hype of bringing back the game of football to the mainstream. When the nationals played the home game against Mongolia for the AFC Challenge Cup 2012 qualifier, again the nation showed its outpouring support. Today, everyone is so excited for the 2014 World Cup qualifier game against Sri Lanka with the hopes that we get through the 2nd round of the competition and hopefully, yes, with so much faith, that hopefully we will be there in Brazil for the world cup and get to score our 1st ever world cup goal. But we have a challenge right in front of us. Everyday I open up a newspaper and on to the sports section, not a single news is written about football, I open my television and found no show telling me the latest about my favorite sport and sadly even on the radio there is nothing. This is a basketball nation, we must admit and

I'm a coffee lover no doubt, not an expert when it comes to taste but I know my coffee when it's a good one. Here in my school, there's a newly opened cafe managed by the university, it is called English Cafe. The name English Cafe has nothing to do with english coffee or England coffee variants but was given to promote english as a language. The cafe was built beside the USLS - Language Center, according to the USLS website . The English Café, designed by Arch. Glenn de Guzman, is a two-storey coffee shop which aims to provide students especially those enrolled in the English for Global Communications (EGC) program, faculty and staff, a place where they can bond together while using the English language during conversations. I tried their espresso and find it good, it has the kick I'm looking in my cup. Though I'm not really impressed with the tainted window glass. What's the thing about tainted windows then? You see, when you are having your dose of that hi

I am on a mission, walking by the shoreline, in the pearl white sand of Boracay, ok not that white but still clean white, appreciating the beauty of the beach, the comforting sound of the waves and understandably the sexy ladies in their bikinis and there it was waving along the wind the green vertical flag with the words STARBUCKS and smile covered my face, delaying gratification I slowly walked toward the door slightly glancing at the window with a big question in my mind, do they have it? and to my delight, yeah, it's the Starbucks city mug Boracay. Mission Accomplished.

Another 1st in this nation, the House of the Representatives impeached Ombudsman Meceditas Gutierrez in a vote of 210 - 47. The articles of impeachment will be transmitted to the Senate for the trial, the case betrayal of public trust. Dear senators, don't let your people down, the ball is in your hands. Peace!

The world is changing, many things happen with a reason. When we take something from nature, surely nature will also take something from us, we abuse nature, nature will be abusive too. We must start to rethink in all of our actions, you will never know who is next. What is certain is the 2nd leg of the AFC Challenge Cup qualifier between the Philippines and Mongolia, it will happen on the 15th of this month around 12pm our time. The Azkals are already there for the big game, good luck. Go Azkals! Peace!

Football fever hit the city, our national team know as the Azkals (Aspin) played against Mongolia at the Panaad Stadium, when the night is over team Philippines had it 2 - nil. The game is a qualifier for the AFC Challenge Cup, 2nd leg will be played in Mongolia on March 15, 2011. Peace.   With my cousin, enjoying the football match.

 Go Azkals! Philippines vs Mongolia Panaad Stadium, February 9, 2011

For the love of food, my beef steak... peace!

Tried this one a few months back, used orange powder instead of the real one and it went out just fine.

I love food and who doesn't? What I do is to try cooking the food that I love to eat. Here's another dish made by me, it's beef stir fry, badly need a wok. peace!...

I love cooking. Maybe it's the 2nd thing I do after collecting coffee mugs. The last time I tried making a lasagna dish for the holidays. Still looking for a sweet recipe for the filling, the one that I made taste delicious but I'm looking for a different taste, more experiment to be made on this one. peace!

I don't make promises but I'll try to be more consistent and diligent on updating you my blog. A brand new year to start and I really hope that things will be better than before and I just wish that our Lord, our God, the only Savior will continue to bless my family, my friends and our country. I am praying for a good health for me and my loved ones and may His peace and love spread in the entire world. Again, Happy new year to all! Peace!..
