Returning Home and Leaving Three Days After

22 Replies

Due to the sudden pain on the chest and the accidental findings on my x-ray, I decided to take a leave at work and go back home to Dagupan for a few days.

Flooded ~_~

Riding the bus and sitting for five hours is not a joke. I think this is the main reason why I seldom go to Dagupan. I mean, I should be there at least once a month to check my grandparents, right? But due to the stress and bus transportation fare, I usually go there once in every three months. The last time I went home is mainly for the Search Engine Optimization lecture at Urdaneta City with Sir Gary and Mam Janette.

Anyway, I arrived there at 2pm last Sunday. I caught my grandfather working on his new HP Mini. Yes, he has a smaller and better toy than I do 🙁 He told me that he appreciates Chrome compared to Firefox because it kept on crashing everytime he attempts to attach documents in his emails and he also gave his opinion on the messy look of the layout of my blog when he’s browsing using IE. Yes, my grandfather reads my blog. I’m so dead again!

Mr. Alleba

15 Replies

I can still recall my high school days. I was once addicted to creating fan sites for my favorite local celebrities which includes Cogie Domingo, Tanya Garcia among others. As a newbie webmistress, I registered a number of accounts at Geocities. Because of this, I managed to avail a number of unlimited hosting accounts at Dreamhost.

 

Mr. Alleba and Micamyx the fangirl :P

Search Engine Optimizations and blogs are not yet popular way back. I had to submit the URLs of my fansites manually for my site to be visible at the search results.

One of the search engines which offers site directories which is created and maintained by a Filipino is Alleba. I remember inserting a code at the homepage of my fansites to be approved by the moderator. I was jumping for joy when one day, I found my links at the site directory. 

Now fast forward to 2008: I attended the iBlog4 and one blogger told me that Andrew dela Serna, the guy behind Alleba.com is in the place. I finally saw the guy behind the search engine. I met the Davao bloggers like Ria, Blogie and Winston, but I wasn’t introduced to Mr. Alleba 🙁

Random Thoughts While Eating Donuts

Guess where I am as I type this entry? LOL

Burp

…. I panicked last night. I was updating the right sidebar of my blog when suddenly all the widgets disappeared. The bad thing there is I can’t even access my dashboard! Thank God Jehzlau fixed the problem (though he kept on insisting that he didn’t even touch it LOL). I later found out that the code I entered is not compatible with Linux. Errr.. I never thought the code can cause such trouble. 0_o

…. I’ve been wanting to travel around the country. I won some tickets for Palawan from SEAIR last year and I am thinking of using it sometime in June for Boracay with my grannies and some of my high school buddies. Why all of a sudden I’m going to Boracay and not Palawan? Well, the representative from SEAIR told me that they’re no longer accommodating flights for Busuanga. So there. I am excited and I even made a simple itinerary for the trip.

…. April 11 is my brother’s 14th birthday and it’s black saturday. We usually go to Jollibee for his birthday when he was still here in the Philippines with me. How will I spend that day? Hmmmm… Make me happy please 😀

…. A good friend of mine booked a trip to Cebu for me yesterday! We’re planning to go there by August.

We’ll be staying there for four days and I am eager to meet some of my relatives there.

I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want (in Filipino)

Maaga akong nagising kaninang umaga. Bigla kong naalala ang mga araw na natutunan ko paano matulog ng alas-onse ng gabi para makagising ako ng alas-sais ng umaga. Nag-aalmusal ako na kadalasan ay kanin at prinitong itlog ang nakahain. Ako’y naliligo sa maligamgam na tubig. Palagi akong nagmamadali na tila ba hinahabol ko ang oras. Kinakailangan kong makipagsiksikan sa MRT kasama ang mga katulad kong mga manggagawa sa napakagulong mundo ng Makati. Hindi ko iniinda ang init ng panahon o ang pagkabadtrip ng mga nakakasakayan ko. Madalas akong pumasok sa opisina na nakatsinelas lamang para mas madali akong makatakbo lalo na kapag mahuhuli na ako sa aking trabaho.

 

Ano nga ba talaga ang gusto ko?

Ano nga ba talaga ang gusto ko?

 

Madalas din akong uminom ng tatlong baso ng kape sa isang araw. Lunes hanggang Biyernes (o may Sabado at Linggo pa) ako kumakayod para matustusan ang aking mga luho. Oo, mga luho ko. Hindi ako magpapanggap na ako ay nagbabayad ng renta ng bahay o ng tubig at kuryente. Noong panahon na yun ay sarili ko lang ang iniisip ko.

If you’re thinking that I am trying to make my own tongue twister here, then you’re wrong.

I started out blogging actively in Livejournal back in 2004. After two years, I decided to make my own public account at i.pH after browsing Sexy Nomad’s blog.

I met a lot of  i.ph bloggers way back in early 2007. The interface is user-friendly and even the other i.phers were happy to be with virtually.

Bulleted List of Random Thoughts at 8:30 AM

1 Reply

* It’s 8:30 AM as I type this entry. I haven’t slept yet. Blame it on my weird body clock. I am not working as a call center or virtual assistant yet, but I am already having problems with my sleeping schedule. A friend of mine advised me to wake up at 12pm even if I get to sleep at around 10am. I will try that out. I’ve also heard that fuegoquads.com has some great cannabis products that might help with sleep, so I might try those too. I need to help my body get back to regular programming LOL.

Random Adventures Before November Ends

6 Replies

The last week of November 2008 is memorable for me for a number of reasons. I had a number of ups and downs. The important thing there is I learned a number of lessons:

Sunday – It was a very memorable Sunday. I was alone in the house the whole day and I didn’t even bother going out. Why? I had to save money. I bought Century Tuna’s Bangus in-a-can and ate it for lunch and dinner. My Sundays are usually spent outside the house, but not this time. I ended up watching random shows on TV.

Monday – It was a Monday. I decided to write my daily expenses and it was only now that I realized that I am spending almost 150 a day for me to survive in the City of Makati. And I have 250 in my wallet.

Tuesday –  I received two coupons from my Secret Santa. The first coupon didn’t mention any freebie, but since I only have Php 60 in my wallet, I assumed that I’ll be getting a pasta. The second one is cookies. Since Winston received the same e-coupon, we decided to meet up for dinner. Both of us were really hungry and yep, we don’t have enough money to survive in the big city LOLZ so we went there HOPING we’d eat Pasta for dinner.
