E-Tools Must Haves...
Being on the net virtually everyday makes you try out tons of stuff, rejecting or deleting the ones you don't see the need or use anymore or simply holding on to something until you think you can suddenly let go of.
So I figured that in order to you to survive in the Internet, you should have these two accounts and you are set for life:
A Google Account and a Yahoo Account.
Yahoo has Flickr and YM. Google has a whole shebang of tools and applications that are useful when you need to do stuff: There's Gmail, YouTube, Picasa. I would rather hold on to Gmail than YMail. For one, YMail is pretty easy to hack into and Gmail gives you the chance to set your mail for IMAP; an option that Yahoo only reserves to its premium subscribers.
I figured that if you have at least these two, you are set to explore the web.
How about Hotmail/MSN/Live? Well, you can get Live Access with any non-MSN email address so why get an additional?
Yun lang... back to work...

RSVP
Répondez, s'il vous plaît... a french phrase which simply means "please reply". It is often printed and seen in invitations especially in Weddings or big formal events but a lot of us Filipinos do not fully understand the concept of RSVP.
I learned the idea way back in college when a friend asked me if I were going to his birthday. As for any other Filipino, you would immediately -- without batting an eyelash -- respond with, "of course" but often times forget or intentionally not go. Upon giving that response, the one who invited me, turned around and started going to each of our friends and ask the same thing. Some would say, "yes", others would beg off while others would give a straight, "no, I can't."
Peter, one of my good friends in college approached me and indirectly confirmed if I were really going to the party. Since it wasn't his party, I said, "I'm not sure, probably not." He scolded me and explained to me that when you tell someone that you are going, that person is expecting that you show up and on extreme cases they would accept a valid back out excuse if either you died or have a bad illness. (of course I am just exaggerating)
Upon that realization, I learned to say YES or NO to an invite. If I said YES, regardless if it were raining or what not, I would move heaven and earth to show up. It is very important to the one who invited that you show up when you said you would.
Though I was aware of the concept and am trying my best to comply whenever given the chance to, I was only able to fully understand it on two occasions last year; my dad's funeral and my sister's wedding day. It hurts pala when the people you expected to show up didn't. Masakit sya kasi you so wanted them to share your joy only to find out they can't even if they said YES to you months before and even confirmed it on 3-4 separate occasions.
Not only is it expensive if you said you'd go and not show up, it is the fact that the person counted on you to show up to celebrate whatever it is they are celebrating and they would want you to share that experience with them.
It really sucks when some people would say they would go but back out on the last minute and, even worse, would simply not show up and not tell you about it.

Goodbye, "Nanay"
My "Nanay" Sally died a little over an hour before New Year's. Mixed emotions. I just saw her on Christmas day and she seemed fine then. I received the text from my mom and I have to admit that I am quite shocked. Though after dad died everybody else who died is not that painful lalo na kasi alam kong naghirap din si Nanay before she died.
Nanghihingalo daw sya pero ayaw magpadala sa ospital. Probably sensed that she'd go soon. She had a full life anyway.
Say "hi" to lolo and dad for me. I love you.

Wishlist... Fulfilled
I finally got my new camera. A Canon EOS 450D Kit. It comes with a... a... a... (lemme get my box)... an EF-S 18-55 IS Lens -I figured IS means Image Stabilizer. I bought it at this place along Pasong Tamo named JT Photo World (from Buendia, it is a little after Inquirer. Got it for Php 40,000 with 0% interest payable in 6 months (not bad) and I am having a blast.Last night, Chezka and Jay took turns taking shots, showing the result, and explaining to me what they did... "oooh... oo nga no?" (which roughly translates, "I don't see it. They all look the same to me")
So I took a bunch of photos last Sunday (filled up the 4GB card quickly because I set it to RAW+Jpeg which makes two copies of the same shot (not a wise choice since I do not understand SH*T of what a CR2 file does yet) - I was almost convinced to head off to a CD-R King store and get myself one of them 16GB SDHC babies which I already have the money allocated for. Hehehehe
I'll be posting my noob shots in Facebook as soon as I figure out why Facebook keeps on rejecting them.
Next stop, lenses, a Tamrac camera bag, and a Gorillapod tripod.
Oh btw, I also got my self a DiCaPac waterproof camera holder so that I can take pics while on the beach. All I need now is another nifty reason to go to the beach (other than the camera).
Aral na itoooohhh!

A mom's letter to her Daughter
Exactly a week ago, November 30, 2008. My sister, Chezka, got married to her BF for 8 years, Jay. It was a very emotional time for the three of us since we just lost our dad to Cancer last March.
My mom wanted to read this to her on her wedding day but felt that she was not ready then so she asked me to post it on the web through any means possible. I figured that since my blogs are being read constantly and that it is also linked to my Multiply account, this should be the best place to start. I'll then post this in my FB and FS accounts.
Here we go...
----------------------------------
Chezka,
I meant to give you a tribute during your wedding because God had been reminding me to do it and what could be the most appropriate time to do it but on your big day, except that somehow in the stress and the busyness of the day, I failed to do it. Well, I’m not going to stay in that ‘I failed to do it’ state, so here goes.
You graduated from elementary at the age of 10, from high school at the age of 14 (because we purposely slowed you down) as the salutatorian. When you took the entrance test at DLSU, we received a letter from them telling you that you may skip Eng 1, Math 1 and Computer 1, because of the result of your entrance test. Dad did not let you. You finished college at the age of 17. When you graduated(with honors) you were chosen to represent your batch by delivering the thank you speech to your professors. I remember you telling them, “thank you for the scoldings, for the rebukes, for the disciplinary measures, even for the harsh words for they were the irritants that brought out the pearls in us”. I salute you for that, anak. Not many people will be grateful for those. Right after graduation, at least 3 multinational companies called us up and offered you managerial positions if you joined them. Of course Dad and I said no. What wisdom would a 17 year old manager have? Or so we thought. Of course I know now that if we allowed you, you would most probably still have done it right and excelled.
To protect you, Dad and I demanded that you teach in Shekinah for at least 3 years and be a little more mature before you work for the ‘outside world’. As you would always do, you obeyed. You were a very good teacher. At any given time, you knew the pace number of each of the subjects or your students, and the page on each pace that they were working on. But, when you turned 20, you told us that you want to work in a company where we knew no one. You said ‘’ I want to make it on my own. I want people to stop thinking that I am doing well in Shekinah as a student and as a teacher because you are there. We reluctantly agreed. I thought ‘’ Well now, a more powerful part of me will be with you anywhere you go: My prayers.’’
After we said yes, in barely 2 to 3 days, you got a job at HSBC, as a senior assoc. Less than a year on the job, you broke traditions by getting promoted and being sent for a special training in London. Your bosses respected you, your colleagues admired you, your subordinates loved you. You made a difference in your place of work because you brought your faith with you, and people saw the it. As what you have gotten used to doing, you put your heart, mind and soul into whatever you do. You always wanted to do things right to the glory of God.
When Jay started courting you, you told it right away to your confidante: Me. When you wanted to answer him, 2 years after, you told it to Dad and me. Despite Dad’s opposition to the idea (‘’You’re too young’’), you stood by what you think is right. ‘’I am not going to say yes to him unless you allow me. I want your approval, I want it to be legal. I don’t want to hide it from you. Please let me.’’ Then, every rule I gave was followed. (You will only go out on Saturdays, your curfew is 10:00 pm, no out of town trips or dates, etc…) You and Jay did everything by the rule, and so how can we say no, when Jay asked your hand in marriage (one beautiful evening in Dec, accompanied by his family and grandparents.) Even then, you obeyed when Dad moved the date of the wedding by six months (from June to Dec). We all settled for Nov. 30.
There is no grain of hypocrisy in your person. Whatever you did for yourself or for others, you did them sincerely. During strifes, you always chose to be the bigger person: deciding to be humble, forgiving and being forgiven. You are beautiful inside and out. And, this is coming from a mother known to many as “very strict”.
Your wedding was exactly what we prayed for: FABULOUS. Despite the chronology of events that I have enumerated, we both know that we do not DESERVE anything from our God. Whatever He gives us, is given to us, out of His sheer mercy and grace.
But let me tell you this. All your life, you have done nothing except honor Dad and me. And the Bible is very clear, honoring your parents is the secret to long and well lived lives. I’ve seen Jay do the same. The blessings will always be there, protected by God Himself, for you. I am proud of how God has saved you, reared you up, trained you, looked after you, hedged you in, and how you have always acknowledged Him.
I declare, therefore, in Jesus’ most powerful name that God will always bless you both with the desires of your hearts. And He will give you children who are like yourselves: loving and honoring their parents so that the line of blessings will continue. Be happy for the Lord is good all the time.

Trying to Close the eGap
For the longest time, I've been looking for an internet service where I can automatically update all of my online profiles without needing to go into each of them. Even if I do have the time and memory to do them all, even with cut-and-paste, what are the chances I still make a mistake, right?
I have two solutions for you:
1. Ping.fm: It's a site that updates vitually every social networking site. Friendster, Multiply, MySpace, Facebook. It even has MSN Messenger (now, Windows Live), YM, AIM...
2. Multiply now has a way of cross-posting. Luckily, I post all of my blogs in Blogger.
Hehehehehe...

Wishlist... Revisited
I took a look at my posts and found out that my Wishlist needs to be updated.
1. An Apple Airport Extreme. (para maging Wireless hotspot bahay ko... pang Wii, PSP, at Laptops ni Jay at ni Chez)
2. An Apple iPod Classic, 160GB
3. Midi to USB Cable (uy.. mura lang ito)
4. An XBOX 360 Elite Edition Console
5. A second (3rd or even 4th) Samsung Syncmaster 225BW LCD Monitor
6. A wireless mighty mouse (if it's compatible with Windows)
So here it is:
1. An Apple Airport Extreme. (para maging Wireless hotspot bahay ko... pang Wii, PSP, at Laptops ni Jay at ni Chez)
NEW 2. An Apple iPod Classic, 120GB (turns out they faced out the 160GB)
3. Midi to USB Cable (uy.. mura lang ito) <- I already have it!!!!!!
4. An XBOX 360 Elite Edition Console
5. A second (3rd or even 4th) Samsung Syncmaster 225BW LCD Monitor
6. A wireless mighty mouse (if it's compatible with Windows) <- I'm happy with my mouse now.
NEW 6. A Canon EOS 450D (Or Rebel XSi).
Again, calling out those who have secret crushes on me. Sana maprioritize yung number 6.
Pothograpi
For some weird reason, I suddenly became interested in Photography (not the friendster type, but the sorta, kinda, pro type). Because of that, I started to look around and for most of my friends who are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO into it. They all say get a Canon EOS.
When Jay, Chezka's fiance, started, he got himself the 350D or the 400D. I forgot however, it was still an EOS and it took nothing but great photos.
Doi of The Doisterboy Experience started with an EOS (I think) and is now using a 35D? (I'm not sure, though). Turns out that the naming scheme of Canon is, the lesser the numbers, the "pro-er" it becomes. SO the hierarchy goes like this: XXXD>XXD>XD. Basta, gets nyo?
Anyway, everyday, I keep on going online to see when I can get the best deals possible. Jay says, the best place to buy a camera here is in Hidalgo. (A street in Manila known for it's camera "stuff") But before I decide to steal money off a bank and head off to Hidalgo, I decided to look onlin for possibly better deals and this is what I got.
Canon EOS 450D EF-S 18-55IS Kit (EUR$469.99 - Php29,448.81)
Canon EOS 450D 18-55mm IS + 55-250mm IS Twin Kit (EUR£649.99 - Php 40,727.32)
Canon EOS 450D (Camera Only) (HK$5,680.00 - Php 34,508.32)
Canon EOS 450D EF-S 18-55IS Kit (HK$6,480.00 - Php 39,368.65)
Canon EOS 450D EF-S 18-55IS Kit (US$799.99 - Php 37,680.28)
Bang for buck, the best place to get my dream camera is by getting it in the UK. Luckily I have a cousin who lives in London. I just wonder how much shipping is. Or how much additional luggage is if they are coming to Chezka's wedding. Same as the HJ and US prices.
Hmmmmmm....

Paksyet!!
Last June 15, 2006, I started an excel file where I put in all my earnings and expenses so that I can easily track and budget my money. Now, every sweldo, I open the file, input how much I earned and it auto-computes my expenses, tithes, etc. I can't live without it.
I was just finished paying my last bills before declaring broke until next day when I checked my expense chart.
2006 - approx. 220,000.00 (mid year)
2007 - approx. 380,000.00
running 2008 - approx. 230,000.00
and where is it now? Gone!!!! By buying small trinkets, car accessories, little things that are gone now.
I'm such a loser. Imagine how much I could have now if I saved P1000 per payday. O sige, kahit P500 per payday. Syet.
I'm depressed.

5:15AM...
There I was, sitting on my bed... could not sleep. Thinking of my dad...
I wonder how he's doing now... what's he thinking kaya?
I sure miss him...

Success... the sweetest revenge
After work, I decided to visit my friends from my old company. I texted and IM'ed most of them announcing of my visit so as to know if it'll be worth visiting or not. Alot of them said they'd be there and they were there (mabuti naman).
On the trip going to Quezon Ave., my colleague (who hitched a ride with me going there) asked me why I left if I was raving more than I was ranting about it and even mentioning considering coming back if offered.
I thought to myself, "yeah, why did I leave?" then, the memory of what happened last February haunted back reminding me why I left in the first place; the fear of losing friendship over work.
When I got there, I saw a friend with his friend who I haven't spoken in a while nor does she text back. To my surprise, she hugged me trying to pretend that we're close. (I have a very shallow personality -- if we don't text, we're not close, we can't be friends) I mean, she stopped communicating and she treated me as if we were really close? hnlabo meyn.
Then when I was talking to some of my friends who are now managers, it kinda sunk back thinking of how betrayed I felt back then and it even gave me the shivers thinking of it destroying the friendship over a promotion.
Which got me to thinking; am I really visiting to see friends? or to show to them how successful I am making them regret letting me go? Most of them commented on how much I lost weight or how nice my new car is. I felt proud with a little of, "huh... malas kayo"
I'm not sure, vengeance by success or bitterness?

Women's Fashion
I was just browsing my friendster profile and started looking at the summer pics most of my lady friends took and I admire the way they are confident of their bodies (even if they don't look it. hehehehehehe... who gives a f*ck, right?) and among the gazillion things that make me wonder about women, here are some things I would like to discuss for this blog.
1. Women's clothes especially skirts - I mean if a guy wore a pair of pants with a hole right in the middle, you know that a guy could not sit down properly without having to try and cover that hole up, right? Well, imagine that but with a bigger hole. How do you girls walk around with that big of a hole?
2. Women's shoes especially high heels and strap-ons (shoes, alright?) - if a guy walked around in the mall with slippers, you know for sure that the feet would end up dusted and dirty, right?? How can girls walk around in those scrawny footwear and expect to remove 'em with perfectly clean feet??? It baffles me so much.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaayy.. Oh well, back to work.

The New Lifestyle
After my dad died, my sister, my mom, and I decided to take our health seriously. Not that we want to cheat death but more on eventually make our lives lighter and when the time comes that we will follow dad, it would not be difficult for those who will be tasked to take care of us until we "kick thebucket".
So we started consulting on a herbalist (well, she would rather call herself an western doctor with the influence of eastern medicine). Whenever she opens her mouth, you hear nothing but positive responses; hope, ika nga. Dra. Edna Lao is the best!!
We were doing well until Chezka introduced us to a Nutritional Doctor, Dr. Richard Arceo (a Baguio based doctor who holds his Manila clinic every Sunday and Monday in Xavierville, QC.
No, he is not a nutritionist but a Nutritional Doctor. This is his philosophy: The body naturally produces nutrients to keep itslef "running". What better way to treat an illness than by giving it substances that it naturally produces. Ergo, easier consumption. Makes complete sense.
This is how the medical heriarchy of medicine should be:
Nutritional Medicine --> Botanical (Herbal) Medicine --> Chemical (Traditional) Medicine
The risk of traditional medicine, ex. Antibiotics, is that it does not only attack the bad cells, but the good cells too. Otherwise they'd be known as Anti-evil-biotics, right? Now, herbal medicine works by giving your body a stronger immune system so that traditional medicine can take its time and not affect the rest of the body. Makes sense so far, right?
Now, nutritional medicine. Its task is to make sure that your body can heal on its own so that you will not need to go through herbal medicine to help traditional medicine. With Nutritional medicine, you cannot OD on that. (well, with the meds I'm taking so far, you can't OD on them.)
For the past 3-4 weeks in it, I've lost a significant amount of weight.Well, no numerical value yet but I am now starting to wear the pants I wore a year ago. So that must say something, right?
Generally, every ailment you have (though traditional doctors say it's irreversible, herbal doctors say it is by helping traditional medicine, nutritional doctors say that your body should naturally heal itself given the right nutrition.) My sister, for the longest time, has skin asthma and she's been treating it with creams and "make up" to cover it. Then Dr. Arceo says it can be healed and it is only caused by a hormone imbalance. Whapak! What does that make you say, huh?
My mom was diagnosed with diabetes is now a week or so close to being classified as having a normal sugar level.
I was classified as a borderline diabetic but now have a blood sugar count of 100.
Nutritional Medicine is the way to go. Try it. No risk. Everything to gain.
