this is a test, please ignore

Testing.

Voila!

Oh yes! you are damn right!

Finally the cross posting capability of my launchpad website. I know I missed (or my launch pad made me miss) a lot of posts for my blogger site but I'll try my best to repost them manually.

So thank God that my cross posting now works.

Updating .......

I am so sorry I have not updated this blog for quite some time now. But the truth is its caused by some technical error in my blog machine which is where I launch my blogs from. I just dont know what happened.

You see it works like this. I write my blogs somewhere else then I publish them and cross publishes them on the appropriate blog of mine. But everytime that I publish them I think the cross publishing machine doesnt work!

So here I am writing manually to update you guys one blog at a time. But I promise that I will update this soon so with the blogs that you missed.

Thanks!

Cory Aquino

Good Bye Tita Cory.....

I woke up about 4:30 this morning, I can still feel my gum hurting because of the stitches it has due to the extraction I had from yesterday. I decided to open up my laptop and visit the social networking sites and update my self.

After a while I got bored since there was not much happening since most of my friends are still at work. So I decided to open the television to watch and that is when I learned about Tita Cory's passing.

Reports say that about 3:18 Tita Cory passed away due to Cardio Respiratory Arrest. Between 4-5 in the morning Noynoy came out of the hospital and confirmed that his mother has passed away.

Tita Cory has led the country to freedom from the past administration. She has inspired a lot of people to move and do something for the country. She is a perfect example of a leader for me. During the times when her husband was fighting for us she was always there supporting her husband and taking good care of her children. When Ninoy was killed she moved from the backdrop of the story to the lime light, even though she did not knew so much about politics what she new was she loves her country and that she will do everything for it.

During her term she was able to bring back democracy. She brought companies back to their righteous owners. She ordered that we should have a constitution that will empower people. during her time, people felt loved and cared for even though there was a lot of bad things happening, blackouts, water shortage arm revelries, but she withstood it and fought back to defend the freedom that we have.

She never stopped helping people through her personal capabilities. She helped communities and cooperatives by tying them together with private institutions to help them develop their members.

Tita Cory relinquished her post just right after her term. She did not show any ambition to stay in power. In fact she had chosen to ride a simple car instead of having a luxury car bring her home which any way was part of her privilege for being a former president. It was her joy that she was able to transfer the power to another one.It is her sense of accomplishment.

I hope that the current administration would learn from what Tita has taught us. I hope that they will not manipulatee and use their powers just stay at their position. I hope that they will use their vague statements that they recently gave and trick us. I hope that we all have learned what Tita Cory had taught us.

The New Yahoo! Home Page

Just this morning about 6:42 AM here in Manila and 6:42 PM EST I was browsing through the internet using my wireless broadband (which I really like btw), I accidentally typed in yahoo.com instead of my usual direct to the mail address of mail.yahoo.com.

To my surprise Yahoo! got a new face!

I knew that yahoo was getting a face lift and that its gonna be a lot different from the previous but I did not expect that it would be like this. I had a sneak preview of how its gonna be and I didn't like it that much because it was like taking so much features away from its predecessor. It was very minimalistic and simple to the point that it almost looked like it was boring.

The Yahoo! homepage has evolved so much over the past years adapting to the current trends that the internet is dictating. But at one point in time Yahoo dominated the scene.

Way back a survey was done and people was asked what do they think about the internet, most of the people answered that they thought that Yahoo! was the internet. Yahoo! gave us the most coveted and almost always imitated homepage where everything was sorted out.

Today Yahoo is struggling to get back on the top of the game. On recently released news it was said that Yahoo! had partnered with MSN, nope they did not say if it was a merger, to deliver more compelling services that would rival Google.

I hope that this competition thing would be the best for all of us and give us more services that would help us in our daily living which is the ultimate goal of technology.

Techie Mom

Today, my mom asked me how to sign up for multiply so that she could make a site for her organization, Valenzuela Persons with Disabilities Federation Inc. It is a nice thing that my mom is very much open to new technology and that she wants to learn how things work.

I taught her how to sign up and showed her how to post things online. But of course since she is not getting any younger she tends to use her "where is that thing" techniques so that she could get things done much faster.

But I thought that how is she going to learn if I am just to give in on her every request. She wouldn't learn if I just do the things for her.

But at least she is not afraid to new things in fact she loves it.

Anyways I will continue to help her build the site so that she could help more people with disabilities.

I would also like t commend her in her effort to raise social awareness about the rights of disabled people through programs like the one that just concluded held at SM Valenzuela titled: Valenzuela People with These-Abilities.

So if your parents ask things about how new things work, be glad that just means they are keeping an open mind about things and that they'd still would want to learn.

the start

This is the start of the rest of our lives.

We have been waiting for this for the longest time, our patience almost ran out.

There were no more tears shed as we part knowing that this is for the best for the three of us.
