Get a free copy of Blog This: How Blogs Empower Every Internet User

Posted by | Mar 29, 2007 | | 0 |

Woohoo! I’m going to Get a free copy of Blog This: How Blogs Empower Every Internet User!!! That’s right…I’m getting a FREE copy of this e-book since I’m a DIgitalFilipino Member. Wehehehe. Just thought it would be fun to write a blog that starts with a taunt. Haha. Janette Toral is an esteemed IT writer, speaker, advocate and “mentor.” Ever since I joined Digitalfilipino, my life in the IT profession has never been the same. Exaggerated ba? Of course not! She has actually taught me so many things, introduced me to the right people and have encouraged me to step out of the comfort zone in working in this industry. Therefore, all I have is praises for her. Her publication on the Philippine Internet Review: Ten Years of the Internet (1994-2004) is also now a collector’s item. You might want to check it out at Digitalfilipino.com. Now, going back to the topic on her latest E-book. It’s got about 8 lessons, all very important, starting from introduction to blogs to setting up blog networks. The world of blog is fascinating, just tonight, I got a message telling me that through my blog, “I made her day.” Naks, parang PLDT, touching lives. But I’m happy that this is my blog’s effect on other people and it makes all the time spent clickity-clicking on my keyboard all worthwhile. So, whether you...

The setting for our story takes place at the Mapawa nature park A group of happy campers found the perfect spot to pitch their tents and have fun It was a full moon that night And the so called spirits were disturbed by all the racket being made, and so they went out of their hiding places…. To haunt the campers (see the two long haired, white faced ladies in the picture??!! gasp!) The men were too scared to get out of their tents … afraid of the haunting ladies …ISKIR! And thus, witch doctor Inang Emiat was called...

Techies? Going Camping?

Posted by | Mar 17, 2007 | | 1 |

Time has passed and no blog from Honey. What does that mean? It means that Honey is too busy and even in the insomniac moments of her life, she has to work or she would end up panting, catching up with things she has to finish for another week. Okay, enough of referring myself in the third person. It’s beginning to sound scary and schizophrenic. This is now Honey, the first and conscious person speaking. LOL. So much has passed the last few weeks. I have a blog/fairy tale (don’t worry Ba…not you) coming up, inspired by our recent company overnight camping trip with my wonderful and dedicated team. I got a chance to bond with them and actually hear their stories and voices (yes, one of them brought a guitar along so they were singing the night away). Of course, what better topic is there to talk about while around a bonfire but ghost stories, just so we can have a reason to squeal and scream when we hear something creeping behind us and only to find out that someone from the other camp came close to our area to pee by the bushes (okay, exaggerating here). One thing I can comment about that little adventure is that, my ever prepared team of analysts, designers and developers(when it comes to work) must have thought that tents and drinking...

Update – Desperas ng Valentines

Posted by | Feb 13, 2007 | | 3 |

Dear Lord, please make me thin. But if you won’t make me thin, could you at least make my friends fat? Hehehe…answered prayer yan! Hahaha… JK (well, half truth). Anyway, unfortunately, I won’t make it to Eservices because of some work to finish. Maybe next year. I’ll still be going to Manila within the year though, for a bet I lost…but then again, if the one I made the wager with failed to comply, then we’re even! *wink wink* The school year is about to end and there has been a lot of applications for our OJT (On the Job Training) program in our company. I guess, a lot of students are interested in training with us because a) They will learn from us b) They will be working in IT related tasks c) They will not be tasked to buy banana-cue d) They will not be tasked to photocopy files e) They will not be tasked to make coffee for the managers and superiors. Back in college, when we got “hired” by our respective companies, we all huddled up and started telling each other where we will be heading. I was lucky enough to work for a holding company in Cebu. Puns were of course made for those who worked for the following: a) Bank – Mag count ng lastiko b) Water District – Mag pump ng tubig...

The Life of Having A Sibling Taking Up Medicine

Posted by | Feb 8, 2007 | | 3 |

Leigh, my younger sister and bestest (rugrats term) friend in the world is now in her fourth year in Medicine. She’s come a long way. Among the four siblings, she is the only one who did not take up a commerce related course because she was determined to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. This year, she’s a senior clerk at that Doctor Jose P. Rizal School of Medicine and she spends most of her time doing her rotations at the Provincial Hospital and with this, her tales from the Crypt starts. She comes home talking about a recent vehicular accident wherein they had to perform an emergency operation (with graphic description, mind you), or would tell us about assisting in the OB Labor room…….all these tales are told…..while eating our dinner. Thanks a lot Leigh. She would sometimes call us at dawn, asking us to pick her up at the hospital or would call to ask us to deliver food to her as she once said “Te, I feel like I joined the ramadan ritual as well coz it’s already sundown and I have not eaten anything yet.” Ever since then, we made sure we send food to her …sometimes, three of us would deliver food to her at the same time (so that’s why she has not lost weight!). But it’s such a good feeling...
