Million Dollar Avatar - Get Hits or Die Tryin’

March 17, 2007

A while ago, I received a notification about my link being featured in the Million Dollar Avatar homepage. It was not unusual though because they feature 100 random member avatars in their homepage every 24 hours. I was just glad that my link was already featured a day after I signed up. This project is another addition to the previously made efforts for blog promotion like MyBlogLog, 2000 Bloggers, blog networks, content aggregators, and several directories, and many other ways.

Four ways that your site gets promoted at Million Dollar Avatar

- Every 24 hours, they display 100 random member avatars on the homepage so your link will be displayed at their homepage for 24 hours.

Love Surpasses Death: A Review of “The Fountain” Movie

March 16, 2007

Love and the Quest For Immortality must have been the most overused themes in the history of movie-making. Anyone could have ticked off on his fingers and toes and his friends’ fingers and toes the number of love stories he has watched in his lifetime. But never love and death had been so beautifully and spiritually rendered in one movie as it has been in the movie, “The Fountain”.

What if you could live forever?

The Fountain is an odyssey of one man’s eternal struggle to save the woman he loves from inevitable death.

U.S. Congressman Claims No Belief In God

March 16, 2007

“Mythology is where all gods go to die, and it seems that Stark has secured a place in American History simply by admitting that a fresh grave should be dug for the God of Abraham - the jealous, genocidal, priggish, and self-contradictory tyrant of the Bible and Koran.”

And so says Sam Harris in his opinion article in the Los Angeles Times last March 15. He even went further by saying Stark is the first of the U.S. leaders (Pete Stark is a California Democrat) to “display a level of intellectual honesty befitting a consul of ancient Rome.”

I do congratulate Mr. Pete Stark for having the courage to come up and speak his stand about something as controversial and debatable as the existence of God. United States is not a wholly Christian country, but still, a big majority of its people believe in one God. It is expected that not so few Americans would be reacting negatively to Stark’s statement of disbelief in a divinity. It is no mean feat to stand up and claim your belief on one thing when everyone expect that such a belief is evil or unacceptable. But, at least, Mr. Stark has been true to himself and responsible enough to make his stand known in an issue where most politicians would rather content themselves to choosing the more popular sentiment for the sake of their political careers.

300… the must see Movie of the Quarter!

March 16, 2007

I watched 300 with Jhann and our friends on the first day of its showing at Greenbelt 3. We were going for the 1030 showing but seats were full even before 8pm. We ended up with a later screening. We got 2nd row seat which isn’t bad for Greenbelt cinemas.

What If?

March 16, 2007

I saw her back in college when I was a freshman. When I first laid my eyes on her I was lovestruck. I never believed in love at first sight until after that moment. Seeing her wearing a radiant smile, I was dumbfounded. Stupid Cupid just probably came off from an archery tourney that time.

Save the streetchildren (?)

March 15, 2007

I often pass Makati Ave on my way to work or going home to our house. I already know the time when traffic is heavy or when its not. I also know what lane to stay in or how to find the right one so I can avoid the jeepneys, taxis and cars going into Mandarin. The faces of the street kids selling “sampaguita” were already familiar to me. I can always feel when they are about to approach my car window to beg for some change.

Full versus Partial RSS Feeds

March 15, 2007

There’s been a long running debate on the use of full or partial feeds. Some bloggers believe that partial feeds is the best type of feed to use while others think the opposite and that full feeds is the way to go. This is quite a confusing topic.

A couple months ago, I was debating with myself whether to use partial feeds or full feeds. Since late last year, my feeds were all partial because I was using the tag. This feature cuts off posts in RSS feeds even if you specify full text in your Reading > Syndication Feeds options. I guess I’m getting old, coz I totally forgot that I had the Excerpt Reloaded plugin which I have been using in previous themes. What this plugin does is if a post does not contain an excerpt, it cuts off your content to a specified length and displays that in your index page. With this plugin, you don’t have to use the tag. Now I have full feeds since I’ve re-installed and re-activated the Excerpt Reloaded plugin.

Yummy Silvanas

March 14, 2007

I am a certified chocoholic. I do not like desserts that are pale, pastel or white… well not when I have a choice. And most of the time I do not prefer it even when its the only choice. I do not like butter cake, white chocolate, sans rival, polvoron… and the like. So it was a surprise when I fell in love with the most awesome Silvanas from Nueva Ecija.

Back From The Dead

March 14, 2007

Did you miss me?

I sure do hope so. My readership has gone down the drain, as evidenced by the counter on the first sidebar. And this is wholly not my fault, though I’m partly to blame. But only a little.

By the time this entry is posted, the blog would have been back online. At least, acceptably online after being a few days M.I.A. (Missing In Action). And it also means I got my sanity back.

Well, I’ve lost it when after 3 days of blogging abstinence due to Saturday Badminton, 24-hour Sunday duty and Monday clinic, I found out that I’ve lost my blog. Actually, all 3 of my blogs. And all my private files that I’ve uploaded in my server. What the F**king hell?!?! What did I do this time? I thought of the day when I tweaked my template. Nah, it couldn’t have been that. This is too magnanimous to be caused only by some simple nitpicking.

I emailed my web hosting provider to ask for some assistance. Here’s what she told me via email:

Enable Firefox Spell Check in WP 2.1

March 14, 2007

For those of you who use Firefox, I’m sure you’re familiar with it’s inline spell checking feature. Wordpress has it’s own spell check option but I never use it because of Firefox’s automatic inline spell checking. It helps me when I write or proofread my drafts. Makes it easier and faster because it immediately underlines a misspelled word with a red line.

However, some Firefox users are having problems with the inline spell checking function not working with the new editor in Wordpress 2.1. I found out from this blog, that this problem is caused by one of the default settings of the version of TinyMCE that is being used by Wordpress.

Blame the Brazilians

March 13, 2007

The bikini was invented by the French but apparently the string bikini was revolutionalized by Brazilian model Rose de Primo. The reason being the lack of a proper bikini to wear to a photo shoot.

Now in order to successfully “wear” the string bikini, one must accompany it with… you guessed it! A brazilian wax! So goes the history of the brazilian and ever since, women have relegated themselves to a lifelong torture where hot sugar wax and cloth strips are used to pull out the stubborn skin to produce smooth and silky bikini lines.

Pukka Pineapple with Bashed-Up Mint Sugar

March 13, 2007

Back home, I can pick a peeled pineapple from any corner of Naga City. When I moved to Makati City, I have switched to canned pineapples which is considered nutritonally inferior to fresh and frozen counterpart. The reason was… I didn’t know how to peel one.

Last year in Shopwise, a small DOLE stand (hey this is not an advertisement) pop up in one corner of the fruit section. I watched the attendant as he peeled and sliced, placed in a styro plate and plastic-wrapped the fresh and golden pineapple in a snap. It created a theatrical action for me. I was amazed and took home a plate of Dole’s Tropical Gold Pineapple.

    Campaign ads on your cellphone

    March 12, 2007

    Cell phones and SMS are now widely used for many purposes. Opportunists find a weapon through cellpones to spread scamming activities, promotional campaigns, and sending many unwanted text messages to defenseless subscribers. On the good side, cell phones and SMS have helped resolved a number of crimes.

    With the coming of the May 2007 national elections, campaign ads will add to the “functionality” of your cell phones. The Commission of Elections (COMELEC) has not yet issued guidelines about this so the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said that they had no choice but to allow the candidates to send campaign ads through short messaging service.

    Why text messaging is a potential campaign weapon?

    Nostalgia Manila Nominated For Best Socio-Political Blog In The Philippine Blog Awards 2007

    March 12, 2007

    There are 12 award categories for the Main Category Awards, and Nostalgia Manila has been officially nominated for Best Socio-Political Blog.

    Nostalgia Manila was conceived on September 10th 2006. A cathartic result of a person who refuses to be desensitized by today’s hyper media culture, often projected and filtered throughout the rest of the world. Most do not realize that there are many people out there who share a common yearning for the past. The world has changed a lot in the last few decades, and there are those who feel somewhat alienated by the changes they’ve witnessed and experienced.

    On Being Bisaya

    March 11, 2007

    This was emailed to me by a friend, and had me laughing my a** off because there’s so much truth in it. It doesn’t matter if one hails from Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, or smalltown Ozamiz, or even if one is an OFW or migrant toiling away in New York or Dubai or Singapore. As long as one is in the company of a largely Bisaya/Cebuano-speaking folk, then he’ll likely agree.

    (sorry for my non-Bisaya readers… but just read along, it’s not too hard to get to the gist of the post really. Or you can ask.)

    You know you’re BISDAK when…….. Read more
