For people who maintain their own websites, website content is just as important as your web-hosting provider. No matter how nice your content is and how interesting your articles or posts are, if your website is slow and unrealiable, then your presence in the worldwide web is pretty much insignificant. There are several free web-hosting providers out there that you can use but if you want your

I know this is a pretty late 2008 year ender post. But then again, better late than never.

The past year was a whirlwind of new and adventurous things in my life. All things happened for a reason and God let me experience all these things because he wants me to learn and grow. 2008 has been good. Inspite of bad and risky economic conditions here in the US and in the Philippines, I never

The special friend is in the Philippines right now for a vacation. Although we've been physically far away from each other since we started this thing between us, it's different when he's in a different continent and thousands of miles away. But in fairness, he still calls me everyday. Awww... sometimes I think he's in love with me. yeah, just sometimes. Whatever this complicated "relationship

Hookay... I have been stuck here in Phoenix for the holidays because I had to work last Dec 26 and I will have work on Jan 2. Sucks! I think I have blogged about my recent contract extension with the Client B. They extended my contract until March 2009. Woohoo! Anyways, I guess there's someone else happier when he found out that I will be extended... yup... the 49yr old guy here in the office

As always, I had an awesome weekend in Vegas. We almost postponed our trip because of the recent snow storm there but good thing the weather cooperated the last few days before the weekend we left Phoenix. Although there were still snow in the area where we stayed at last weekend which was somewhere west of the strip.

Hookay... there's too much great things that happened last weekend.

Was lurking around the www and thought of checking out who's been viewing my multiply site. Alrighty! I saw HH's name on the list! Yeah... he's been frequenting my site and that is sort of creepy since we're supposed to keep our distance from each other. And so I decided to check out his multiply photos and blog out of curiosity. Then I found this...

It was painful for me to talk to her, i'm

Sometimes you have to move on whatever the feelings... -Angela (Bones Season 4 Episode 6).

I am watching Bones rerun as I type this. HH and I had a chat yesterday afternoon. It was more of the no holds barred kind of conversation which I am so glad that we did. He's still not over me and somehow he still does not want to move on. Awww... I just told him that I want him to move on and to find

Here in the U.S., iPhones are distributed by AT&T which means that only AT&T subscribers are able to use an iPhone. I guess there are also open-line iphones in the market but it is more expensive than let's say getting it bundled with your plan. I was really thinking about getting an iPhone 3G couple of months back but I had second thoughts in getting it because if the phone is locked to AT&T,

Seventeen days to go... although the calendar says it's only 17 days to go before I leave this client's office, my workload and the tasks I have to finish don't seem like they're ending soon. Hayyy... So many things to do, so little time.

Can't wait for this weekend. I'm going back to Vegas for a quick getaway. Yep, I'm seeing the special friend again. Well, I know that we are more than

It's literally crunch time at client B these coming weeks. First, because it's end of the year and there are a lot of open projects that need to be completed before the year ends. Second, it's an official no renewal and no more extension for my current contract with client B. This means that in less than 3 weeks, I will officially be on bench!!! Woohoo! Hookay... before I get too excited, let

A very close friend and I were at Fedex Kinko's last night to have some missalettes photocopied for a couple friend who's getting married few days from now. While waiting at the counter, I started going through some Christmas cards displayed near the counter.

Me: You think if I send these cards next week, will it still make it before Christmas?
Friend: Yes. Are you planning to give

Back in Manila, when we were building a team of developers, I was part of the recruitment team who did interviews to applicants. I remember there was a time that we would ask the applicant if he plays online games. Our intention for asking such interview question is that we believe that online gaming is a good reflection of what kind of team player he is or if he's not. Besides the fact that

Hookay... I just wanted to share what my crazy life's been going through lately.

The kick-ass job... I have finally decided to let it pass. Yeah, yeah... I am stupidly crazy for letting this "semi-retirement" job go. There are several reasons that I guess most of you would not understand why I had to let go of this job. I thought about it over and over and I am not fully convinced that I

One of my mom's pet peeve is the quality of prescription eyeglasses available in the Philippine market. I think during the past year, she bought like three glasses because each one broke and had given up on her. No matter how cheap or how expensive the frames are, they still had a short life-span which is just a couple of months. I am not sure if it was just her or the quality of the eyeglass

I am still el cheapo and I really didn't like to gamble but this is just family fun thing.

Sometimes when God answers prayers, he answers them with more questions.

Living this consultant life has made it difficult for me to make short-term and long-term plans because everything is bounded by what I'll be doing and where I will be at that certain point in time. For the past months I have been praying for a little certainty in my life. My contract here in client B is ending on

What stage in a relationship do you think two people should be at before they start sleeping together?

I am bored here at work and I was looking for a good topic to blog about since my life has been pretty monotonous the past few days. There's nothing really worth blogging besides my birthday and the youth camp last weekend. Anyways, I guess the question above isn't really bounded by any rule

Yesterday, there was an all-hands meeting and a thanksgiving luncheon here in the office. Everybody from the whole department including external employees (which includes me) were invited. Before the meeting started, I was talking to an officemate who apparently, reports directly to the FI lead (the older guy whom my teamlead wants me to date). We started talking about how many dateable men

I've been doing a lot of googling (is this even a term?!) about forced induction in cars. One of the factors that affect engine performance is the ability "inhale" as much air and fuel mixture into the engine. The more air you can get into the the engine, the better the performance you can get out of it. Much like inhaling air into our lungs, if we are breathing correctly, we are able to run

My office phone rang again this morning. Yup... it's a 702 number again.

Me: You are violating the rule again.
Him: I know. How was your household?
Me: It was fine. We ended around past 9 but we took our time having dinner so I still got home around past midnight. Why are you calling me again?
Him: Oh, I just want to make kulit.
Me: Someone's trying to move on you know. And you're

Around 3PM my office phone rang and displayed a 702******* number. 702 is area code for Vegas, btw. After 3 long rings, I finally decided to pick-up.

Me: Hey! Why are you calling me?
Him: Nothing. I just miss hearing your voice.
Me: Awww... you're not supposed to call me. You are violating the rule we talked about.
Him: Do you want me to wake you up tomorrow?
Me: No. You're not supposed to
