Internet Explorer 9 Beta 1 Testing
Everybody is waiting for Internet Explorer 9, the browser that is known today as the day when web developers can finally stop worrying (for now) if this HTML and that CSS piece code will work in 60% of the world’s net users – the IE users.
Here’s my quick testing of IE9 Beta 1, things I noticed about it. Read it here.
Book Review: Peter Hamilton’s Pandora’s Star
A space opera of epic proportions by the UK’s #1 sci-fi author Peter F. Hamilton. Pandora’s Star is the first of two books in the Commonwealth Saga, which is set in the Commonwealth Universe. At this time period, humanity has spread in over 600 planets in the Milky Way Galaxy and has grown complacent because of the lack of encounters.
This is my review of Hamilton’s book, a book with plenty of characters with independent stories inter-woven together by events they can not avoid, the opening of Pandora’s Star. Read it here.
The Difference Between ‘Ng’ and ‘Nang’
To better understand the differences between ‘Ng’ and ‘Nang’, we need to know first its history, how it came to be, what was the original meaning of these two words. That was what I’ve been digging for the past year or two, and now I have published what I unearthed.

My, YOUrs… Our Story on Climate Change (Blog Action Day)
CC (no, not Creative Commons or carbon copy) is a broad term. One can argue that climate change is a natural process. True enough, because if there were no climate changes in Earth’s distant history we probably wouldn’t be here today. Imagine if our Planet never had rain, or say Earth stayed hot and never had ice ages. Maybe the dinosaurs will still be alive today, and instead of us humans on the top of the food-chain, we will probably be on the top of someone else’s diet!
Climate Change is good then, because it keeps this planet alive and it keeps it balance. But why are we discussing about it if it is a good, natural process? Why all this fuss? These seminars, Blog Action Day, and scary videos that the Earth is going to die soon with humanity in it if we don’t do something?
Southgate Mall – the New Mall in Town
Southgate Mall opened yesterday – pay day, the new mall located in front of the MRT Magallanes/Mantrade Station in Makati City.
This is the same property that many are very familiar with – the forever under construction Southgate Tower. It isn’t anymore, after it was bought by former trade and industry czar Roberto Ongpin.
A President to Remember..
The President Cory funeral cortege took the same road when Senator Ninoy was also brought to his resting place – via Makati’s portion of the South Super Highway or as known today “President Osmeña Highway”.
Since it’s in our neighborhood, I went outside and joined the thousands of Filipinos waiting to give their last respects to the 11th President of the Republic of the Philippines – President Corazon “Cory” Cojuangco-Aquino.
I brought home 426 photos, 332 of which I uploaded online. These photos captured the Filipino people during her time of mourning as a Nation. If you weren’t there, then I hope these photos will allow you to go back in that point in time and be there as well, together with us.
The photos will speak for me and express for me what it was like being there. So join me as I show you: A Story to Tell… A President to Remember.
