Finally, I got my first DSLR last February 27, at Henry’s Photo Supplies in Glorietta 5. I have been day dreaming of this stuff for months and now it’s in my hands. The model may be outdated (first release in August 27, 2008), but it has still superb performance. I’m quite satisfied with my first few shots. And it has tons of settings and modes to choose. Watch out for my upcoming creative photos. I'll be using my flicker account for you to be able to see ;)
We finally moved place from 15th to 24th floor. I find my new place very relaxing compared to my old desk in 15th, since it has less trash on the table.
One Friday night, after we saw the movie Dalaw, Rachelle and I decided to list down our top ten New Years Resolution. Lists were unedited due to unavailability of time.
1. Put God as center of the relationship
2. Matulog ng maaga
3. Iwasan mag-cab
4. Iwasan kumain sa mahal na restaurant. Pwede lang kumain sa mahal na resto twice a month (every payday)
5. Mag-ipon (separate accounts)
6. Iwasang ma-late sa trabaho at mag-halfday
7. Mag gym regularly
8. Iwasan mag-chat lagi sa trabaho lalo na pag busy!
9. Mag out-of-town quarterly
10. Make the relationship stronger
New year is all about new life, adventure, challenges, as well as trials. I can’t wait to explore a whole new life with the most wonderful girlfriend I ever met. Rachelle if you’re reading this, i love you.
Friends are now harder to find. Because some people will judge you when you have left nothing behind. They’ll laugh; They’ll grin & smile with you. In good times you’ll be first on bad times you will be no. 2
Sometimes friends don’t value time. Sometimes they can’t even spare you a dime. I thought I have friends who will be true. But what they did best was to make me blue.
They say they are cool. But I just realize I had been such a big fool. To believe on what they say. To even think that this friends will forever stay. Maybe yes this friends are at first reliable. But I discovered one thing they weren’t dependable.
They supported me with grins & smiles. But they wouldn’t endure doing this through my journey of miles. Now all I have are cries & tears for me to find out this was my greatest fear.
My so-called best friend was right they couldn’t be forever. For some friends may turn betrayer. I think my friends are the latter. Now I feel so bitter

PRODUCTIVITY IS DEFINED AS THE AMOUNT OF USEFUL WORK PERFORMED OVER TIME. Someone who is more productive performs more effective work in a given time interval than someone less productive. This book is all about how to become more productive as you go about the tasks required to develop software. It is language and operating system agnostic: The book provide tips in a variety of languages, and across three major operating systems: Windows (in various flavors), Mac OS X, and *-nix (Unix and Linux alternatives).
This book is about individual programmer productivity, not group productivity. To that end, it
doesn’t talk about methodology (well, maybe a little here and there, but always on the
periphery). The book also don’t discuss productivity gains that affect the whole team. The books’ mission is to allow individual programmers the tools and philosophies to get more useful work done per unit of time.
Tired of guessing whether there’s an internet connection or none? Do you know your Internet protocol (IP) address? If you’re a Vista user, you can download this very useful gadget (which I always look at whenever my connection slows down, or worse, DOWN).
Here’s the theory:
Whenever you click something on a web page (or just hit refresh), the browser requests data to the server. During the process, the browser uploads data. It is where the uploading occurs (green, up arrow).
Web page life cycle
When the server receives the data from the browser, it sends back data to the browser. It is where the downloading occurs (yellow, down arrow).
To make things short, observe the following.
If the upload (up arrow) speed is greater than 0 Kbit/s, and the download (down arrow) speed is 0Kbit/s. Then probably you don't have connection.
If both are 0Kbits/s, try to Google/Yahoo!. Or, ensure that the network cable is connected in your computer.
NOTE: for Vista users only =p
Mga pinaka-gusto kong kowts mula sa dalawang magagaling na manunulat, at mga BFF’s ko rin sa Plurk! Sundan niyo din sila!
“ I never asked myself that classic guidance-counselor question,
"What do you want to do with your life?" I always asked myself,
"What are you actually doing with your life?" Small distinction.
Major difference and bottles in one word: Commitment.Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe.
How committed are you to God? to your parents? To your wife/girlfriend?
To your work/career? Studies?
How committed are you to being successful? to being a good role model? To being healthy? To being an honest person?There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?
Maybe we all should be taking ourselves more seriously, pushing a little harder, achieving that fuller life a little faster. ”
I learned this few easy steps on how to monitor Plurk users using ASP.NET.
1.) First, you need to know their user ID. You will find it by right clicking on the Plurk users' web page the view source.
Look for the first "user_id": 4069774" ” property, just 3 lines below the "<script type="text/javascript">” tag
(Click to enlarge)
2.) Go to your Plurk profile then click “embed Plurk widget” which is located at the lower right of the page. Customize it and copy the code below it. If you do not have any Plurk account, proceed to step 3 and copy the code.
3.) Open Visual Studio.Chop and put your the embedded code either in a string or StringBuilder(requires System.Text namespace) data type variable and should look like this(or similar):
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(@"<div style='width:200px; height:375px;'>");
sb.Append(@" <iframe src='http://www.plurk.com/getWidget?uid=12345");
sb.Append(@" &h=375&w=200&u_info=2&bg=cf682f&tl=cae7fd'");
sb.Append(@" width='200' frameborder='0' height='375' scrolling='no'></iframe>");
sb.Append(@" <div style='float: right; padding: 1px;'>");
sb.Append(@" <a href='http://plurk.com/' target= '_blank' ");
sb.Append(@" style='font-size: 10px !important; color: #999");
sb.Append(@" !important; border: none; text-decorate: none;'");
sb.Append(@" title='Plurk - A Social Journal for your life'>Plurk.com</a>");
sb.Append(@"</div></div>");
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Enter the user accounts here
int[] uid = new int[] { 18757, 3267850 };
StringBuilder sb ;
DataRow Data;
//Construct DataTable to handle all Plurk accounts
DataTable account = new DataTable("Accounts");
DataColumn userID = new DataColumn("UserId");
userID.DataType = typeof(string);
userID.MaxLength = 10;
userID.AllowDBNull = false;
userID.Caption = "UID";
account.Columns.Add(userID);
DataColumn widget = new DataColumn("Widget");
widget.MaxLength = 1440;
widget.DataType = typeof(string);
widget.AllowDBNull = false;
account.Columns.Add(widget);
foreach (int x in uid)
{
sb = new StringBuilder();
Data = account.NewRow();
Data["UserID"] = x.ToString();
sb.Append(@"<div style='width:200px; height:375px;'>");
//Insert UserID here
sb.Append(@" <iframe src='http://www.plurk.com/getWidget?uid=" + x.ToString());
sb.Append(@" &h=375&w=200&u_info=2&bg=cf682f&tl=cae7fd'");
sb.Append(@" width='200' frameborder='0' height='375' scrolling='no'></iframe>");
sb.Append(@" <div style='float: right; padding: 1px;'>");
sb.Append(@" <a href='http://plurk.com/' target= '_blank' ");
sb.Append(@" style='font-size: 10px !important; color: #999");
sb.Append(@" !important; border: none; text-decorate: none;'");
sb.Append(@" title='Plurk - A Social Journal for your life'>Plurk.com</a>");
sb.Append(@"</div></div>");
Data["Widget"] = sb.ToString();
account.Rows.Add(Data);
}
//Create new instance of gridview to view the data
GridView gv = new GridView();
gv.EnableViewState = false;
gv.DataSource = account;
gv.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
BoundField ID= new BoundField();
ID.DataField = "UserID";
ID.HeaderText = "UserID";
ID.HtmlEncode = true;
BoundField widg = new BoundField();
widg.DataField = "Widget";
widg.HeaderText = "Widget";
widg.HtmlEncode = false;
gv.Columns.Add(ID);
gv.Columns.Add(widg);
gv.DataBind();
form1.Controls.Add(gv);
gv.DataBind();
}
To monitor Plurk users activity even without viewing their profile. At the same time, view numerous Plurk profiles in a single web page. Save bandwith!
I have had 18 cardio sessions in 7 weeks and my weight went down from 190 to 175. Diet plays a huge role during the process. Whenever I am at home(and as always), I only eat 2-3 tablespoon of rice per meal and I alter glucose with fructose. I used Atkins (high protein,low carb) diet for years. I also lift iron to ensure no muscles are lost.
I do cardio at least three times a week for 45-60 minutes per session. I always keep my heart rate as fast as I could to guarantee burning more fat. I’m not that ripped, but I can easily distinguish that I shred some fat by comparing my photo from last month and the latest. I can now also see my oblique. But no six pack yet. =(

The facts:
I upgraded our thesis which was an online flight monitoring system for Philippine Air Force. I need to expose them to some hiring managers. Some of the upgrades I added are:
I also deleted some highly confidential data in the database to avoid being exploited. I am aware of the limitations naman.
If you have files that are highly confidential and you want to keep it protected, TrueCrypt is the key. It creates password protected, virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk. What's best is that it is encrypted with the most modern encryption algorithms like Advanced Encryption Standard(AES), which is being used by the U.S government. You can download TrueCrypt software for free and it’s easy to use.
TrueCrypt works hard to offer powerful data protection, recommending complex passwords, explaining the benefits of hidden volumes, and erasing telltale signs of the encryption process, including mouse movements and keystrokes. TrueCrypt may be download on their website.
By the way, please do not forget your password. Consider these frequently asked question(FAQ):
I forgot my password – is there any way to recover the files from my TrueCrypt volume?
TrueCrypt does not contain any mechanism or facility that would allow partial or complete recovery of your encrypted data without knowing the correct password or the key used to encrypt the data. The only way to recover your files is to try to "crack" the password or the key, but it could take thousands or millions of years depending on the length and quality of the password/keyfiles, on software/hardware efficiency, and other factors.
I have always admired you and respected you for being the most upright person I have known in my life. I accolade you for working so hard, waking up early to work and sleeping late at night. For showing your patience and loyalty for your work.
Thank you for teaching me how to be a responsible man. Thank you for showing your unconditional love for mama, and for me, too! You two are the greatest couple I have ever known. You are my inspiration and my motivation. When I become a dad, I want to be as hardworking, as patient, as caring, and as gentle as you are.
We might not have had a lot of interaction because of your work but you have made a maximum impact on the way I think and react. Your principles have been the guiding force in my life. I hope I will follow them all my life.
Best part about you as a father has been that you never really taught us anything. You just lived your life and showed us the path of rightful living. You provided us with all the essentials of good life and never made us compromise on anything. Without ever showing how hard it could have been for you to provide such a decent life to all of us.
Happy fathers day dad!
