Nang Dahil Sa Spammers

Saturday, October 30th, 2004

Hello world again. Ito po ang isang nilalang na inumaga na naman dahil sa pagkakalikot nang computer. Anak ng tipaklong, upps patawarin sana ako nang mga engkanto sa aking pagmura. Paano naman kasi kundi dahil sa aking pagsumikap na ma block ang mga spammers, hindi sana nasira ang blog kong ito. I have tested 3 plugins para lang matigil na ang mga unggoy na yan, and due to some modifications that I made hindi na nag function ang comments form ko pati na ang links nang earlier entries at iba pa.

I have tried to trace my last action pero wala na talagang pag-asa. Kaya ang ginawa ko…I backup my database, installed this blog tool again and copied the drop statement doon sa table structure. Good grief! I won’t touch anything again.

If not because of Allan who tried to write a comment that fails. Siguradong hindi ko napansin na something is wrong pala. Allan, if you happen to read this…maraming salamat uli.

Makakatulog na ako ngayon ng mahimbing dahil natapos ko na itong ayusin.
Alas 3:00 na nang umaga…talo ko pa nito ang nag overtime sa trabaho ah. Okay, the meme queen will go rest now.

Firefox versus IE

Friday, October 29th, 2004

Talaga naman pong nakakabuwisit para sa mga taong katulad ko na baguhan sa madla nang web design. Nagsusumikap kasi akong makagawa nang isang design na compatible para sa firefox at IE. Pero por dios por santo ako’y gigil na gigil na dahil everytime I view my work sa dalawang browser na yan…lagi itong unproportioned sa isa sa kanila. Perfect kunyari tingnan sa Firefox…pero tabingi naman sa IE. Linktik na yan adjust na lang ako ng adjust sa CSS. Hmmp. Hayaan ko na nga lang ito, personal use lang naman eh. Naku! kong papel lang ito matagal ko na talagang pinunit. Bakit nga ba hindi magkakaisa nang system itong mga programmer ha! Mamumuti lalo ang buhok ko nito bwisit.

Anong browser ba ang mga gamit nyo mga ineng at nonoy ha?

Oh by the way, learning by doing lang pala ako kaya be nice to me sakaling may balak kayong sumulat nang komentaryo.

Wuppertal Gala

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

Finally, natapos din ang inaantay naming mag-asawa na Gala of FDV Filipino Association in Wuppertal. That was the first big Filipino event we attended here in this area. Pero bago kami dumating sa venue, it took us almost two hours to find the place. Supposively, it’s only 1 hour to drive from our place. Paano kasi we have to change from one Autobahn to another. Nagkamali kasi nang exit ang asawa ko kaya nagkabuhol-buhol na ang direction na dinaanan namin. Muntik na kaming ma punta nang Dortmund. Gusto ko na tuloy umuwi dahil nag-away na kami sa auto. Kaya tuloy nasabi niya na talagang kailangan na naming bumili nang navigator.

Haay naku, gusot ang mukha ko as we arrived there. They were already starting with the buffet as we arrived. Mabuti na lang Joan and her husband has waited for us so we can dine together. Saka ko pa napansin ang beauty nang concert hall as we sitted at our reserved table. The wonderful baroque architecture fascinates me ever since.

The historical concert hall (Stadthalle) is one fine masterpiece of turn-of-the-century architecture of Wuppertal, inaugurated in 1900 by the German emperor William II and his wife.

Anyway, I was very surprised as I have seen a familiar face standing infront of the stage as the Tombola was being drawn. It was Kuya Carlos indeed. Magkasama kami dati lagi sa Philippine Embassy in Bonn. Meron kasi dating quarterly meeting ng mga presidente nang Filipino Associations. Ate Myrna, his wife was also there. We chatted a bit about the past, at kami na yata ang pinaka maingay doon. Tumitingin sa amin yong mga tao everytime na kami ay naghalakhakan. Napaka exciting nga naman kapag matagal nang hindi nagkikita. We really enjoyed the evening. Para na rin akong nasa Pilipinas dahil sa kanilang several shows na folk dances, plus a Filipino live band and top of it all…pagkaing Pilipino. Yummy!

We have waited ’til they were done drawing the tombola before we left at 2:00 a.m. Bumili kasi ang 30 pieces (€1.00 each) ang asawa ko. Of course we were hoping na mapanalunan namin ang first prize na round trip ticket to Phils. Ngeeek! Wala kaming napanalunan kahit man lang sana consolation prize, malas talaga.

A Mom In Conflict

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

I admit that I am slowly getting bored at home. That would explain my being moody and luck of drive during the few months. I have been thinking of venturing a small time business (:happy: not monkey business). This plan is not only for my boredom but I also want to earn money in the first place. Dahil ayokong maging pabigat lang sa asawa ko. I was never before and wouldn’t want it ever happen.

Oo nga may maliit pa akong anak, and honestly when I was still pregnant I swear to stay at home and enjoy every single moment of being a mother again. My other two kids grew up without my full attention and it enormously bothered me every day when I got up early and left to work without seeing them. Kaya ko nasabing ibahin ko na ang lifestyle ko with the youngest. Pero kadalasan kaibahan ang lumalabas dahil what I think and what I really want does not coincide.

I am trying to conceptualize my idea of opening a business without affecting my obligations to my kids. Sounds difficult and complicated but I think it’s possible. There’s such a big difference when it comes to time flexibility between being an employee and being your own boss. So I think my plan is more favourable and suitable to my current position. Right now, I am still waiting for the right opportunity to materilize this plan of opening a small boutique. Luckily my husband is behind me and is willing to support me para lang daw ako maging contented ulit.

The Flu

Thursday, October 14th, 2004

Oh my goodness mukhang nahawa yata ako nang aking mga anak. They had their flu behind them few days ago…tapos ako naman ngayon ang tinamaan. My nose is running terribly, my joints are aching same with my throat.

I always miss my mother everytime I get sick. At times like this, naaalala ko ang kanyang pag-aalaga sa akin noon. Ngayon kasi, wala na ngang mag-aalaga sa akin, kinakailangan ko pang bumangon kahit may sakit para gawin ang obligasyon sa pamilya. I wanted to rest but that is also not possible due to my small boy. I’m up all day long, moving around like a zombie. How I wish I’m home with my mom (sniff sniff).

Being all alone by myself when I am sick is one of the reason why I don’t like to stay here in Germany ’til I’m gray and old.

Alaala

Tuesday, October 5th, 2004

Nakakalungkot isipin na halos mag-iisang taon na kami dito sa aming nilipatan pero wala pa rin akong natagpuang kaibigan na tutuo. Hinahanap ko kasi yong ka wavelength ko. There are Pinays here but we have absolutely nothing in common.

Miss na miss ko na talaga ang best friend kong si Jojo. I love to remember those days noong magkasama kami. Like minsan doon kami nag almusal sa kanila. Wow para kaming true, imagine ba naman…it was a breakfast with champagne. It doens’t mean that it’s new to me. But the fact na dadalawa lang kami tapos ang setup ay parang may malaking party…di ba overwhelming?

Matapos naming ubusin yong champagne, napagtripan naming dalawa na kumanta. Mula tanghali hanggang sa dumating na lang yong mga anak niya ay hindi pa rin kami tapos. We really had lots of fun together, paano pareho kasi kaming mga kalog.

I know I’m not going to meet a friend like her anymore. Now I realized that having friends is not depending on the quantity but on the quality.
