How do you upgrade to wordpress 2.3?

September 26, 2007

When doing your upgrade to wordpress 2.3 , I suggest you test it out by first using a local copy on your computer.

NEVER DO AN UPGRADE ON YOUR SITE WITHOUT TESTING IT OUT LOCALLY FIRST. When you do it locally, you can still recover your local blog when something wrong happens.

Disclaimer: This guide will try to help you in your attempt to upgrade your existing blog to Wordpress 2.3. I do not claim that this guide will work for you 100% flawlessly but this is just how I did it. It is up to you if you want to continue reading however, please do not blame me when something goes wrong. ^_^

I am a complaining child but she reasons out that it gives my cute dress the much needed puff. I also saw it on other girls my age who painfully scratch their legs and alas! they get slapped on the wrist. Whenever I try to reach out under my skirt to scratch my www.filteany.com

Movie Review: I’ve Fallen For You

September 26, 2007

Why did I watch the movie in the first place? My younger sister and her classmates got tickets to the movie premiere. Who else would chauffeur them from Alabang to Megamall but me?

[Although the plot is quite predictable, I have been advised to warn my readers that there are portions here that may be seen as spoilers in this review]
As advertised, Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson play two teens named Alex Reyes. Girl Alex is a hardworking kid from a family that’s tight on budget. Boy Alex is rich, smart, and wishy-washy. He has a crush on her, she has a crush on him, and they get to know each other better by pairing up for a tandem bike race. Brace yourself for a dragging litany of scenes that would make Kim-Gerald fans “kilig”!

But the audience shrieking is cut short when the pair discovers their family’s past. It would explain why girl Alex’s mom is always in a bad mood (and I thought it was just menopause!). When the problem is resolved, one might begin to think, “thank God it’s ending!” But no, another problem arises.

Myanmar: military regime’s ouster just around the corner

September 26, 2007

Everybody’s waiting for tomorrow’s (today) Senate hearings on the ZTE deal for a possible explosive testimony from Romulo Neri and the possible immediate consequences. Manuel Quezon III follows recent developments on the controversy in I’m leaving on a jet plane…Not! What moves will the JDV and GMA camps follow in this heated intra-elite confrontation? Let’s keep a close watch on events.

Meanwhile, another interesting happening to watch out for is the snowballing of various anti-military junta marches and demonstrations in several towns and cities of the formerly silent country of Myanmar.

What started as a few disparate rallies against oil price increases has now escalated with over 100,000 peacefully marching in the streets of the military-ruled nation’s capital last Monday.

Is the Philippines overpopulated?

September 26, 2007

The Philippines is the 14th most populous country in the world and third in the Southeast Asian region. Managing population should not be equated with abortion as some religious leaders claim.

Ramblings of an Insomniac

September 25, 2007

Author’s note:  My high school friends and I recently started a group SMS conference.  One composes a message addressed to everybody and then sends it to the group list.  It helps that all of us are Globe subscribers and we’re all subscribed to Unlitxt20.  Haha.  I just want to share these messages because, personally, I find it funny.  But, of course, I wrote these!  Haha!

Absolute pardon: absolutely ridiculous?

September 25, 2007

mugshot.jpg

We have followed the case for the past 6 years. The plunder case against the deposed President Estrada was not only monumental. More than ever, it is a test of the Philippine judicial system.

It not an easy case to handle even for the most distinguished men of the law. Yet the government prosecutors, who have the most honest and truthful intentions to show that they will be unperturbed despite the threats in their lives, chose to burn the midnight oil and vowed they would fight it to the hilt. Many advocacy groups saw through the process, and ensured that no one gets in the way for an honest trial. Last September 12, the Philippines literally stopped [for at least 10 minutes] just to watch or listen to the proclamation of the verdict. However, even before the government prosecutors could say they could rest their case, and take a much-needed holiday, here comes another issue to contend.

The god of realpolitik

September 25, 2007

The news this past week amuses me, in the sense that it appears that god (or at least, as interpreted by man) in all forms and religions has been too getting too many headlines in different parts of the world for different reasons — enough perhaps for atheists to take notice. And be amused as well.

In the West, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the highest official of the Church of England, held closed door negotiations with its US branch, the Episcopal Church. The point of contention: the Episcopal Church’s liberal stance with regards to homosexuality, and a moratorium on same-sex marriage and consecrating openly gay bishops.

Makes me wonder if the Anglican God has homophobia, despite all His might and power. We will see.

Erap’s dream of an Absolute Pardon

September 25, 2007

If you ask me, the Arroyo administration is getting more desperate for attention and approval from the people day after day. And this absolute pardon thing with Erap is terribly, horribly wrong in all aspects.

The things that pisses me off are these: (1) why would the government give Erap an absolute pardon when the court has already proclaimed his guilt and (2) assuming the government will give him an absolute pardon, why would Erap be allowed to give his own terms on his release?

Have you ever seen or heard of a convicted man giving the terms for his release? It’s like seeing the government bow down to this criminal and the message of this potential pardon is hugely damaging. Instead of sending out a warning to all corrupt officials and wannabe plunder offenders out there, the government is actually encouraging these shameless acts to continue because not only will the offenders be pardoned, they will also be able to enjoy the fruits of their dishonesty.

Erap will only accept the pardon if he will not be forced to admit his guilt and if his ‘wealth’ will remain his. This circus demeans the power of the verdict and it makes the court look like a big load of crap. After more than five years of trying to jail Erap for his corruption, the government itself wants this man free?!

I think the Arroyo administration wants to give him an absolute pardon so the people can go easy on PGMA regarding her ‘involvement’ in the now public scandal of ZTE Corp. and the NBN deal. This is damage control, believe me. And the Erap camp is well aware of it that’s why they have the tenacity to ask for so much in this case. Of course, who wouldn’t want to be friends with Erap now? I mean, the guy practically represents the masses and, unexpectedly, the opposition against PGMA’s camp.

If the government will give Erap a pardon, it’s like we’re all back to square one: back to zero in our fight against corruption. To even consider giving this man an absolute pardon is already stupid, but to even allow him to give his own terms for his release is just plain evil.

Ocean Park manila_erisac

The 1.2-hectare Luneta Board­walk Platform facing Manila Bay behind the Quirino Grandstand is currently a 24-hour beehive of activities as hundreds of construction workers strive to finish the first phase of Ocean Park Manila in time for the upcoming Christmas season.

As many Manilenyos know by now, Ocean Park Manila will be a state-of-the-art complex consisting of an oceanarium, a Marine Discovery Park, promenade areas, a boardwalk and a themed and landscaped pavilion. Swimming and snorkeling facilities for visitors are also included in the project.

The oceanarium, the park’s premier attraction, is designed as a unique and world-class educational and entertainment facility dedicated to showcase the rich and diverse marine life of the Philippine aquatic environment. It will boast a transparent acrylic-made tunnel to provide visitors the experience of walking underwater and viewing sea creatures.

Call me apathetic

September 25, 2007

protestersI made the following comment on Torn And Frayed in Manila’s post, Erap: It never happened:

Nothing surprises me in Philippine politics anymore, torn. I think you should get used to it — in a morbid kind of way — like a coroner getting used to the dead.

and it irked a fellow named Cogs:

That’s the spirit, Jon boy! Show ‘em that nothing can tame that great Philippine apathy.

I wonder, have I really become apathetic?

It’s not the first time I was told that. A few years ago I had a few dates with a girl who was an activist, and a staunch believer of the Leftist movement.

The Incompetency of Meralco

September 25, 2007

This is actually a delayed post because the events that I’m going to tell happened a week ago. So why am I telling it NOW?

Perhaps just to let it all out in this blog. Perhaps to let everyone know in what ways Meralco can be so incompetent.

Three weeks ago, my dad called Meralco to report the “leaning” electrical post near our house. I’m not so good at gauging distances and angles (I’m no mathematician or engineer) but, if I may say so, I guess the post was leaning at an angle of 20-30 degrees and that’s a lot, folks (I know I should just have taken a photo and describing it would have been easier but I was being my forgetful self). And its weight is almost precariously supported by the frightening bundles of electrical cables attached to it. I know that it wasn’t like that before, since we’re one of the first occupants of the subdivision. But with the increase in the residents, Meralco must have just connected the wires and all with no plans whatsoever. Maintenance wasn’t even that good. So when my dad placed that call to Meralco to report it and nobody from the company showed up in a few days, it didn’t really surprise us at all. But we’re very, very disappointed.

And just imagine our dismay when finally, the folks from the company came, looked at it, and then said they’re going to just come back to repair it (they already received a report of something to repair. So, they just go check out if the caller wasn’t lying?). Knowing Meralco, that would definitely take more than a couple of days again. Why are they purposely delaying the repair? My dad said maybe because these are just subcontractors and wanted to earn more by extending the number of days spent for repairing a single electrical post. So, again, we waited, hoping that the post will hold on until the repairmen come back.

But that hope failed last Wednesday night.

One Time for South-East Asia - ASEAN Common Time (ACT)

September 24, 2007

There are all talks about the integration of ASEAN, politically, economically, socially, geographically, and any other *ally you can think of. But with all that talk (and media hype), one is not getting much attention (partly due to it being still a proposal) - the ASEAN Common Time or ACT, which some companies, websites, blogs, and forumers are already using.

So what is this “ASEAN Common Time” (ACT) all about? Read more by clicking here….

WC and the fox-hole toilets

September 24, 2007

Nung bago ako sa kumpanya namin, gusto kong magbawas ng “maruming tubig” sa katawan kaya nagtanong ako kung saan ang CR. Ano daw ‘yung CR sabi ng mga intsik kaya idinemonstrate ko kung anong gagawin ko sa CR. Hindi daw CR yun kundi “WC.”

Tinanong ko naman sila kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng WC dahil ang CR kako e nangangahulugang Comfort Room. Pero hindi nila alam. Buti pa si Wiki alam:

A flushing toilet or water closet (WC) is a toilet that disposes of the waste matter by using water to flush it through a drainpipe to another location. Modern toilets incorporate an ‘S’ bend; this ‘trap’ creates a water seal which remains filled with water between flushing, thus providing a hygienic barrier by preventing sewer gases from passing up the drainpipe. During flushing the ‘S’ bend also provides siphon action which helps accelerate the flushing process. Water filling up the bowl creates a high pressure area which forces the water past the S bend. At the S bend when water starts to move it creates a vacuum that pulls the water and matter out of the toilet. When there is no more water is left then the air stops the siphon or vacuum process. At that point the water that is going into the bowl continues to fill up the bowl to equalize the bowl and the S bend. This ends the cycle of one flush. However, since this type of toilet does not generally handle waste on site, separate waste treatment systems must be built.

Pero bukod sa tawag na WC ay may isa pang kahindik-hindik na kwento tungkol sa mga toilet sa China. Alam nyo bang “fox-hole style” ang mga toilet dito?

How NOT to teach kids to pray.

September 24, 2007

A saint from the 21st century advised parents not to force their young children to get involved in too many religious activities because this experience could traumatize them and stigmatize their perspective of God.

Scenario A: A mom calls her 6 year old son for the customary family rosary at 6 pm

Mom: Let’s pray.
Kid: But mom…
Mom: It’s time to pray.
Kid: Ugh! … …
Mom: You start.
Kid: Hail Mary full of grace…
Mom: Very good, now say it slowly because we’re praying.

This seems to be a training ground for raising nominal Christians. The type who know religion, but not spirituality.
