One In a Million

ONE IN A MILLION

Once in your life you'll find someone
To make it all so real
When it comes you will know
'Cause it's like something
You never thought you'd feel

(And) sometimes you say to yourself
Is this really what I'm looking for ?
'Cause only time will tell
if this is heaven or hell
To really know if you're sure

I walk this lonely road
And I felt i'm goin' nowhere
(And) some things I'll never know
But I know why you're the only one

And I'll never find love again
Like the kind you give
Like the kind that you send
'Cause you're one in a million
One in a million... to me.

Baby you've got a certain way
of doin' things that makes me feel
Like I'm someone
So don't change the way that you are

I walk this lonely road
And I felt i'm goin' nowhere
(And) some things I'll never know
'Cause you're a million and one

I walk the lonely road
And I felt I'm goin' nowhere
(And) some things I'll never know
But I know why you're the only one

And I'll never find love again
Like the kind you give
Like the kind you that send
'Cause you're one in a million
One in a million to me..

No more lonely nights
I'm finally goin' somewhere
And it's all because of you
That I know why
You've always been the only one

And i'll never find love again
Like the kind you give
Like the kind you send
'Cause iou're one in a million
One in a million to me

I'll never find love again
Like the kind you give
Like the kind that you send
'Cuase you're one in a million
One in a million to me

One in a million to me..
One in a million to me...
One in a million to me...

Baby's Early Morning Routine

As of late, my baby daughter wakes up as early as 4 in the morning. Usually what she does is to try to "bite" her pillows. My mom said this is natural because at this time her first set to teeth is about to grow and her gums are somewhat getting "itchy". It's a good thing that we bought some teething toys for her to bite on.

Saturday Afternoon Blog: Rainy Weekend and Double Duty

Rainy Week

I would sum up the weekend with two words: "La Niña". The whole week was so rainy to the point that most of the people are having colds. Fortunately, I haven't got the colds yet. Taking hot baths and drinking a lot of water has prevented me from catching the colds. What's been bugging me at night is when the frogs are doing their "croaking orchestra" after the rain has stopped.

Dual duty at work
I've been really busy at work because I have been doing my web developing and training applicants at the same time. I'm glad that I now have help with my client. Soon, I'll be a full time trainer in the upcoming weeks or so.

Playboy Philippines No Different from FHM and Maxim

According to several news websites, Playboy Philippines will be launched next month and it targets mature men 30 and above. The difference with Playboy Philippines and its US counterpart is that there will be NO FRONTAL NUDITY (Parang FHM and Maxim na rin kung ganun).

The magazine will be sold across the Philippines at a cost of PHP199 pesos (US$4.76) and 70 percent of the content will be local.

Founded in 1953, Playboy has some 20 local editions around the world that cater to local taste rather than simply exporting and translating its U.S. content.

Splitting My Body at Work

Since my client has yet been given a replacement, I am still obliged to do some of his task (albeit not that hectic). So this week I'll be doing dual roles: A web developer AND a trainer. *SIGH*. But it's OK anyway I'm enjoying (for now) my being busy. My daughter will be proud of me because I really worked hard for my family.

Trainer Mode in Full Force...

It's my first day back from the long weekend off because of the Holyweek and I was greeted with 5 new trainees (2 Web Developers, 2 Graphic Artitsts and one Webmaster) Sheesh... well that's part of my new job now as a Training and Development Officer.

What's good about this is aside from the pay, I get to learn new technologies like ASP.NET , ActionScript and Flex on my "Not-So-Busy" weeks.

Happy Easter to All

Creating Alternate Ads for AdSense and Clicksor [repost]

PPC ads like Google AdSense and Clicksor are a great source of income for many web site publishers.

You sign up and put the ads on your web sites. They deliver the ads live, with each page load — ads relevant to the content of the page the ads are delivered to. (Well, sometimes they aren't so relevant, but they try.)

The ads are delivered from the inventory of ads they have available.

What happens when no ads are available depends on the PPC ad distributor. AdSense delivers non-profit (non-paying) ads. I don't know what Clicksor does.

Both of those organizations, however, allow you to specify content to display whenever they don't have sufficient relevant ads in their inventory. Instead of their ads, they display your ads.

I will show step by step how to make those alternate ads so they fit within the space allotted for the PPC ads.

You'll be able to deliver your own ads, paying ads or your personal selection of non-profit ads, whenever AdSense or Clicksor inventory runs out.

* Savvy Shopper: Enjoys shopping for wine; gets satisfaction from a good deal

My programming experience with ASP.NET 2.0 using Abyss Server

As I stated on my previous post that I really wanna learn ASP.Net and since my workstation is running on Windows XP HOME (What! no IIS? no problem), I had to resort to some alternative web servers. Good thing I found Abyss Server which run almost all web languages like PHP, Perl, Python, classic ASP, ASP.NET and Ruby On Rails. Also I also runs on Linux, FreeBSD and MacOSx platforms.

Setting Up and configuring the Abyss Server

Then using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition, I started a ASPWebSite Project using the sample coding I got from Chapter One of "Learning ASP.NET 2.0" ebook. And I was amazed by the result. The Abyss Server really worked.

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday is a moveable feast which always falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates an event reported by all four Canonical Gospels: Mark 11:1-11, Matthew 21:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, and John 12:12-19 - the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion.

Learning ASP.NET

I've been wanting to learn ASP.Net way back but got busy with other thing which is not about IT. Now that I am now part of the Information and Communication industry, I was able to learn from my colleagues at work how to be a programmer and other aspect of the business. With in tow, I will try to do a self learning journey toward learning ASP.NET.

But before I go into doing ASP.NET, I must learn C# the language in which ASP.NET is based upon. Now I'll start my research on C# and ASP.NET first to understand more before going into programming C#.

Rediscovering Mecha Animes

When I was 7 years old, my older brother always rents betamax tapes about Anime "mecha" or robot cartoons which includes well known titles such as Voltes V, Daimos, and Mazinger Z. But recently I discovered in the internet (thru Youtube and Crunchyroll) that there are some episode (and full movies) about my favorite mecha cartoons which are Grandizer and Starvengers.

GRANDIZER RULEZ!

I was able to see some portions of the movie version of Grandizer on Youtube, it was last 15 minutes of the movie in which Grandizer was able to defeat the final enemey (but still I will continue my efforts find, better yet download the whole movie). Of All the Mecha Anime series, this one is my all time favorite (sorry Voltes V) and I love the way Johnny Bryant changes into Orion Quest when he shout his name "ORION QUEST!".

STARVENGERS

On the other hand, I was happy that I was able to watched again the whole Starvengers movie on Youtube ( I was lucky that there was a fan of the movie whoa able to uploaded the whole movie).

Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator Seminar At Fwendz Diner

The last monday I got a message from my good friend Christopher Cubos that he will be conducting a free seminar on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator along with some of his friends in the IT business RangingMon and Timothy Te. Unfortunately Timothy didn't make it so Chris was able to get Ted Padova to demonstrate to us Adobe Illustrator. Some of my offciemates where able to make it and was awed by the number of attendees (and the beautiful ladies :D).

Ted Padova demonstrates Adobe Illustrator

Sir Ted was able to show us the flexibility of Adobe Illustrator unlike its counterpart, Corel Draw. It now supports 3D designing and .ai designs can now be exported into flash by animating each layers of the design into frames.

Chris Cubos inserting a PSD file into Dreamweaver CS3

Up Next was Chris Cubos. He demonstrates to us how to use Photoshop CS3 for web designing together with Adobe Dreamweaver CS3. Since being bought by Adobe, the Dreamweaver software has come a long way as the industry standard in web designing and web developing.


RagingMon demonstrates the new features on Photoshop CS3

Up Next was RagingMon, who was tasked by Chris Cubos to demonstrate Adobe Photoshop's new features as well as the wonders of desingning in Photoshop using layers.

I Got Paid! Check from Text Link Ads arrived

I was surprised earlier that a letter from TEXT LINK ADS was on my table. When I open it, it was a check worth $25 as payment for my affiliate program. I guess that increased traffic really paid off and I now added the TLA banner ads on to my other blogs. I also change my setting so that the next payments will be paid directly to my Paypal account to avoid hassle.
