Weee, I’m back Again!

Mr. 9 — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:49:22 +0000

Whew, after months of inactivity, I’m finally back to blog again. I noticed that even if this blog is inactive for sometime, it still have a large portion of visitors so I figured out that I don’t want to waste my blog just being stagnant here all year long. I love to blog but for some unfortunate circumstances, I just can’t write a post. Maybe my brain isn’t functioning properly or I i just lost my inspiration? hehe. Well, thanks to God and and to you my dear readers (gulp), I finally have the courage and strength to blog again. whew. what a redundant post.

WordCamp Philippines 2008

Are you a Filipino blogger, developer, or web page and graphics designer who want to learn more about the benefits of using WordPress? Then don’t miss this opportunity to join the WordCamp 2008 here in the Philippines; the first and only in Southeast Asia!

One of the objectives of WordCamp Philippines is to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

This event will be held on September 6, 2008 at the Augusto-Rosario Gonzalez Theater, College of Saint Benilde in Manila. Another mini event will also be held on September 4, 2008 at Bryan’s Grill & Café 91 Narra St., Palm Village, Davao City.

I would like to thank the Mindanao Bloggers for supporting this event and it’s sponsors:

So what are you waiting for? Join the WordCamp Philippines 2008 and be a part of this extraordinary event!

My new ISP – Globelines

Mr. 9 — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:23:29 +0000

I’ve switched to a new ISP lately because I was disappointed by my old Smart Bro ISP. It keeps disconnecting from the internet and has a very slow connection. I am a loyal subscriber of Smart Bro for a year and decided immediately to disconnect from the service because of the said latter.

I went to the Smart Wireless Center, paid my last bill and requested a permanent disconnection. After that, I went to Globe Center to apply for a 1mbps internet connection for 995 a month. The agent was fast and friendly. She said that they will survey my location if it is reachable within their service. The following day, they informed me that our house was ok for installation. So I paid my bill and the following day again, I began to enjoy their service. As advertised, my Globelines has a stable rate of 1mbps connection and can reach up to 2.5mbps on certain conditions. See image bellow. Now, I can download and browse Youtube simultaneously without having to wait for the buffer to load.

My Blog Resurrected

Mr. 9 — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:35:10 +0000

Whoa! First of all, I would like to thank Mark (a wordpress administrator) for reviving my blog again. If it wasn’t for him, this blog would cease to exist. Ok. I made my mistake and it will not happen again. Hehe. Last two months or so, I wasn’t aware that posting paid links on wordpress blog (except for those who have their own domain) is prohibited. Damn I didn’t read their Terms of Service Policy. But it’s all fine now. I will be posting updates on this blog next week so be sure to view this blog periodically. Ironically, this blog has a PR 3 even if it is banned two months ago. Thanks to all my friends for their support and I really appreciate that they didn’t delete my blog on their blogroll even if this blog is temporarily banned. Till next time.

It’s Summertime Again!

Mr. 9 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:25:08 +0000

Weee. After all the hard work me and my classmates shared, we finally finished our school year successfully. I’m proud to say that we survived! You name it: projects, defense, paperworks, even speech choir, we endured it. My body is tired and now I can fully rest and spend vacation to neighboring place. I’ll also spend part of my summer reading books and studying our future lessons so that when time comes, it wouldn’t be as hard as it should. So, I wish you luck and enjoy your summer.

Busy2x….

Mr. 9 — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:43:59 +0000

Promise after march, I’ll be posting regularly and will also visit and comment to your blogs. Thanks for your understanding. God bless us all. Muwah!
