Text Messages I Received This Christmas

December 25, 2007

It’s not going to be surprising if you were able to receive a lot of text messages few days prior and within Christmas day. Actually, you really have to anticipate it and you just can’t stop it.

Now, I just have some questions for you:
1. How many christmas sms/ text messages did you receive before/during/after christmas?

2. How many of those are unique, personalized or recycled?

(3. Did you receive any at all? lol..)

(4. Did Globe make your christmas a good one?)

Google Awards and Punishes too

December 25, 2007

Google Search Results Before

On page 1

I was happy that one of my blog can be seen from Page 1 result of Google search engine results.

Google Search Results Now

On page zero, nowhere to be found

My Blog Issue

My first blog was ranking on Page 1 and there are times that it was dancing on top of Page 2 search results for about six months of continuous blogging. I was so happy and considering that at an early blog age, my free blog site had attained even the second page of Google search results. Well, that was before.

Keeping Myself Afloat This Holiday Season

December 24, 2007

Based on people’s twits, it is obvious that a lot are in a good mood nowadays because of the holiday season. Wrapping presents, attending parties, preparing to go on vacation, writing online about Christmas…these are but some of the activities that people are recently engaged in. I also enjoy doing these things, as these are part of the tradition of the season. However, most of the time, I think I’m two beings, one person doing all of these mechanically, and another one just observing everything from afar, detached.

I have to say that I’m not that all happy this holiday season. And this is, for most part, because I’m not that happy staying here at home. Though I’m happy to be finally spending the holidays at home after four years of being on duty during Christmas and the New Year, I’m not much enthusiastic to be staying here.

Globe’s Christmas Gift to It’s Unlitxt Subscribers

December 24, 2007

I tried to register with Globe’s Unlitxt20 so that I can greet my friends in advance.  I was dismayed to receive this response from 2870.

“Sorry, we cannot process your request at this time. Please try again within 24hrs. Why not call ur loved ones with Globe.s Kada-segundo? Just dial 232+10digit Globe mobile phone number for Php.10/sec.”

I don’t know why telecoms, which have been generating millions, if not billions, of revenues each year would deprive their subscribers of such small favor esp. this season.  What could possibly be their motive to prevent us from subscribing to Unlitxt today?  Haven’t they met their budget yet for the year?

Naga launches festival of shepherds’ tales
By Jujemay G. Awit
Sun.Star Staff Reporter

THE year 2007 is a milestone year for Naga.

Even as it became a city, it also honored its traditions by officially launching its own festival, the Pastores de Naga.

Pastores de Naga depicts the shepherds’ retelling of Joseph and Mary’s journey to find a birthing place for the Savior, according to the Christian tradition.

The story is told through songs and dances. In between songs, the presenters tell the story in a poetic manner.

Lesser Street Crimes in Metro Manila This Holiday

December 24, 2007


The Philippine National Police has claimed that street crimes in the metro dropped this Christmas season as compared to the previous years.

Improved visibility on the streets of our policemen  is said to be the main reason of this significant drop in crime rates, according to PNP chief Director General Avelino Razon Jr.

Together with thePNP, the Armed Forces of the Philippines is also helping in patrolling the  streets of Metro Manila through their “Metro Mamang  Pulis at Kasundaluhan” joint anti-criminality campaign.

Pinay Scandal and Pinoy Scandal

December 24, 2007

From my recent post, we can now have an overview of web users around the globe searching for specific search keywords from Google networks.

Yes, Google is watching. Google servers watches each and every search histories from Google search engines made by any web users around the world. All these search queries from Google are all recorded and translated into a useful information. In fact, they are consistently recorded and gradually translated as comparative graph. Google named this feature as Google Trends.

And oh, Google Trends can support keyword trend’s statistics comparatively. This basically means Google Trend site can accept two keyword inputs separated by a comma for head to head graph comparison and displays this graph differences against the demand search number and trend year as X and Y axis respectively.

Balanga Gov’t Site Hacked

December 24, 2007

City of Balanga website hacked!

Yep, just another website recently counted to the list of hacked Philippine government websites. And I happen to capture it right in front of my very hot coffee. I was really shocked and amazed though its not my first time to capture such hacked site around the web. Luckily, a PrintScreen stroke immediately gave me a copy of the defaced City of Balanga website.

Click the below defaced website to enlarge it.

Autumn of the Patriarch

December 23, 2007

I borrowed Beryl’s copy of the Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel by the same title for the Christmas vacation today. In exchange, I lent her my brother’s copy of the 6th Harry Potter book (a book I have yet to read).

The nameless autocrat in the book who is crippled with old age reminds me of my country’s very own Ferdinand Marcos and Chile’s Augusto Pinochet who died last year, not without a tinge of irony, on Human Rights Day.

In the New Left Review’s latest issue, Manuel Riesco asks: is Pinochet dead? He discusses how the late Chilean dictator’s legacy lingers on in spite his death and how recent worker and student movements are challenging his terrible shadow.

“Truthiness” and the Seeming Truth of Wilyonaryo

December 23, 2007

Truthiness is “What I say is right, and nothing anyone else says could possibly be true.” It’s not only that I feel it to be true, but that I feel it to be true. There’s not only an emotional quality, but there’s a selfish quality. 

- Stephen Colbert

Empirical reality is overrated. Santa Claus exists, because kids feel him on Christmas Eve. Elvis didn’t die, because we feel his presence. It’s not knowing, but feeling. Thank you, Stephen Colbert.

The talk of the Philippine entertainment blogosphere these days is the “Wilyonaryo scam:” in a YouTube video, it seems that the wheel in “Wilyonaryo” has two numbers in it. Which means two things, if you asked me:

  • It seems that Willie Revillame cheats his contestants, and;

  • It seems that this particular video is the most-watched YouTube video in the Philippines today.

Of course, Joey de Leon is pointing to YouTube to be the source of all truth and the font of all knowledge, as far as the “Wilyonaryo scam” is concerned. As it seems, you can - if not should - believe everything you see in the Internet. After all, if it’s in YouTube, it must be true.

Absolut Geek

December 23, 2007

The meaning of the word, “geek,” has evolved over time. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it originates from an old term in the English dialect, “geck,” which refers to a fool. The classic definition would actually fit the word “freak” because geek referred to carnival performers who eat live chickens and bite snake heads!

But geeks are not freaks. I’d like to think that geeks have a sense of style. Unlike nerds who know it all, geeks have specific areas of concentration. With the new meanings of geek, perhaps Wikipedia would provide contemporary definitions of the word:

(1) A person who is interested in technology, especially computing and new media.
(2) A person who relates academic subjects to the real world outside of academic studies; for example, using multivariate calculus to determine how they should correctly optimize the dimensions of a pan to bake a cake.
(3) A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance.
(4) A person with a devotion to something in a way that places him or her outside the mainstream. This could be due to the intensity, depth, or subject of their interest.
