I have moved to another site. Check out: http://rexosophy.wordpress.com. http://chimp.blogdrive.com/comments?id=20 http://chimp.blogdrive.com/archive/19.html Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:57:29 GMT So many articles are written today about Linux and its benefits. Of course, you would expect that these techies would start ranting about their IT jargon until you'll end up confused with jaws dropping. In the end, what matters is just one question: "Can I use it with ease?" This is the basic question I've been asking when trying out different Linux distribution after my Windows XP (Pirated edition) has failed me miserable after it crashed an average of 3 times per month. This made me greatly consider about all the try-the-Linux-Live-CD commotion...and so I did. The first set of Linux...

(My last entry was about an article I wrote way back June 2006). I just checked my old e-mails and remembered I have a blog to maintain. I was so busy with life that I forgot to journalize. Excuses...excuses...Ok. I promise to write again. Hehehe. So much has happened after 1 whole year. I got a new bouncing...no, jumping little baby boy...our enrolment increased...I just got my first flu shot ever today...a wireless router at home...my HP iPAQ antenna got lost somewhere...and, I have just migrated to Linux. Yes, the free software bug just bit me...BIG...

The letter describes Multiple Intelligence as the “in” thing now and should be adopted by schools. I also overhear parents talking about multiple intelligences and how it brought about the discovery of their...

But the truth of the matter is, the latter comes as a far-fetch dream. What is reachable for now is the first as only a handful of people love to write in the province. 3 years ago, Joey invited us to write for his father's newspaper, the Ang Mantalaan, a local newspaper in Surigao del Sur. And so we did. Because of it being premature, it didn't prosper and progress into a full blown writing career. And so my dream of writing continued on... Living...

And yes, I'm one of those who's eagerly waiting for this book to be made into a movie. Yup, this is a "girly" novel...but I actually enjoyed reading...especially about how Sayuri was devirginized in a ritual called mizuage. Hehehe. Now, there's a lot of classic books immortalized into movies and I've read quite a few them. Sometimes though, the film does not capture much what is being relayed in the novel. And that's pretty disappointing. Although I enjoyed the movie, there are a...

These are songs that has accompanied me in my youth and has been so much part of me that every song the e-heads sang invokes a spirit of youthful delirium. Yes, I just bought JAM 88.3's ultraelectromagnetic jam...a revival of eraserheads' greatest gathered by the latest OPM rock sensations and spicing it up with their own influence. So sad wasn't able to mingle with kids in UP during its release. It would have been a helluvan experience for me...syempre pa headbang headbang at...

Imagine...Filipino athletes bagged 63 gold, 44 silver, and 50 bronze medals! That's a total of 157 medals and a 1st placer at that! I could only imagine the problems of those in PSC now trying to figure out where to source millions of pesos as financial rewards to our heroes. With our draining coffers, I say, let the politicians cough up millions for our athletes! (pera naman natin un eh...hehehe) Let us reward them not just with the germs from handshakes but also something to fatten their pockets. They have toiled and sacrificed a lot...

The place, the beach and the view is completely the opposite of what is found at the back--Dakak, the tourist magnet of Zamboanga and owned by the infamous Ex-congressman-now-convicted-rapist, Jalosjos. But contrary to what we hear about the sensationalized Jalosjosian controversy, Rizal's place in Dapitan is a haven for historical buffs wanting to be in a place of significance in order simply to connect with our...

Finally, I have transferred to a better office after three (3) years of being hooked (and I mean literally) with an office which lauds slavery. hehehe. I have a new table, a new laptop (siyempre hindi sa akin), new officemates (ka-age ko), new environment. Siyempre, kasama na rin ung new "avenues for better opportunities." It really is fulfilling to note that I didn't apply for this job but actually was "invited" to be part of their team. Naks! Sorry for blowing my horn...but, this just hit my ego big time. ...
