yep yep, I know I know … its almost 3 weeks now and haven’t posted anything to my site … also there was a disaster that happened to our site wherein my hosting (hostingph.com) did A VERY LOUSY work on preventing a disaster … WHICH ACTUALLY CAUSED A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! … problem is that they changed the server’s IP and everything went hell which quite funny as I didn’t have any static IP defined on my site … they tried to restore my site from their backup tapes and guess what? IT ADDED MORE TO THE PROBLEM as the backup is corrupted … the DB was compromised and a lot of pages we’re lost, sheeeesh!!! they took almost a week trying to resolve the issue, which in the end it was hopeless they couldn’t restore my site they way it was before they did their stuff … so I agreed only to what the last good backup they could find and I will try to restore the lost pages, waaaaaaah!!!

let me know if ever you see anything that’s not working that should be … is it just me? or others as well experience this problem with hostingph.com … any thoughts!? tsk tsk tsk!!!

last December I lost my iPAQ phone and we’re all searching for it and the last thing I remember I went to a gasoline station before going to Malou’s house … to make the long story short, somebody found my phone, called our home, and informed that I could pick it up the next morning at the Shell gasoline station … I was very happy with the thought that there are still people who are honest and going out of their way to return it back to you … kudos to Shell station in Tangub!!!

upon looking at the phone, no doubt that it was run over by a car but I was really glad that the internal integrity of the phone were pretty much working perfectly … few scratches on the side and cracks beneath it but still serves the purpose just the same … the Capdase metal casing I bought were damaged but it serves its purpose very much … kudos to Capdase, weeeh!!!

minor cracks on my iPAQ

I’ve experienced wrist pains lately probably due to the incorrect position of my hands when using my laptop. An officemate informed me that a cyst developed in his wrist because of it. Yikes! He had an operation to have it removed because it caused him a great deal of pain and was growing by the minute. I was alarmed by this so I did a quick research through Google.

The condition is called a Ganglion cyst. Removing it doesn’t really prevent it from coming back. Here’s what I found during my research.

I was browsing through the drafts I made for this blog and saw this one. This is a small list of quotes that I typed while watching television during my onshore days. Quotes that made me say … Nyerk!!!!

if you remember last June my friend Linus Escandor a photojournalist lost his gear (
Fotog falls prey to Bukas Kotse Gang) … I was amazed to know that most of his gear was recovered by the police … his camera-body, lens, flash, and etc … except the bag and several AA batteries which is really fine … kudos to MPD Chief Investigator Alex Yanquiling for successfully recovering the stolen gears

The Commission on Elections is poised to do a non-binding pilot test through the Internet for Filipino absentee voters in Singapore, ABS-CBN News reported Wednesday.

A mock election with 14,000-15,000 registered voters will test the effectivity of the Internet voting system from July 20-August 8. The mock polls will have names of Philippine national heroes as candidates.

“We will show that Internet voting is completely secure, less costly, user friendly and accurate,” said COMELEC Commissioner Florentino Tuason Jr.

my first and last time to hear and enjoy the music of Ciudad was when Jucyn celebrated her bday with several cancer-patient kids @ UST Hospital in cooperation with Kythe foundation. The group was there to render few songs for the kids which is kewl and sweet for a rock band if you ask me

We had a wonderful time with the kids as well as listening to their music which really got my attention to one of their song which entitled, StrawberryJam … it’s cheezy and very catchy and parang na-LSS na ako, bwahahaha … ang tagal kong hinanap yung song until recently I just found out that one of my officemate (Gian) is a fan and he got several albums nila and gezWat??? one of them is the StrawberryJam song … hahahaha … now alas and finally I could hear the song kahit over-n-over again, weeeh!!! … thanks Gian
