Sunday Afternoon Blog

It's another weekend and I am here in Kasagingan to check some emails, checking my social networks and to do my blogs. I'll be suming up my week in several separate blog titles.




Personal Events: Grandma's Birthday
September 28 was a special date for me because its my grandmothers birthday (Happy Birthday Lola). We are gonna celebrate her birthday today because it's a Sunday.



The Programming Mind
When I was still in college, I always like the idea of programming because of the cool softwares (web stuffs) that we can develop from it (*Sigh, electrical engineering was also cool before I learned computers). I may have learned web developing on my own by researching on the net and some proper training by attending short courses in web developing but still the I am envious of the fact of some of my colleagues are "experts" in Visual Basic, .NET, C#/C++ , Java and other programming languages that is known. The desire to learn was and still is running through my head, yet patience has been one of my weakness when in terms of learning stuffs that I barely understand (though I got through learning HTML, PHP and Javascripting).

Persiverance is now my motto when I think about learning programming.

To start off, I am downloading some open source Development IDEs (Integrated Development Editors) particularly Eclipse IDE and Aptana WEB IDE since I'm planning to some programming (for non-uber geeks, Eclipse is a versatile software editor for developing Java, C++, Ruby On Rails, PHP and other open source projects).

Another Saturday Afternoon Blogging

It's another weekend of blogging for me and I'm back at Basti's Brew (Kasagingan had a problem with their internet connection so I had to "reroute" my butt off to Basti's Brew here in Victoria Plaza (for those who are not familiar with place, its in Davao City, Philippines).

It was a busy week for me as I am undergoing another set of web programming training (for those who in the web developing business I'm undergoing training for web application frameworks, particularly CodeIgniter and CakePHP). It was "a head squeezing" training yet if got this it would reallybenefit me in the long run ( i'm planning on building the blog section of my website around Codeigniter like my friend Roy's website ).

Glad to have to be working for a international company that has only 5 working days (unlike in local-based companies that work until Saturday) because I have an extra day quality time for family (My wife and I are expecting our first baby :D).

No Power? Longer Work Hours

Because of the blackout that went almost 6 hours long, our work has been rescheduled. Either we could comply the 6 hours of unused time by working on offset hours after the regular work schedule or work on this coming Saturday.

Since working on Saturday is not possible because of my wife's weekly checkup with the obstetrician, I took the other option on working 2 additional hours for three consecutive days, though I'm allowed to work the offset hours at home.

Well its a company policy to comply the time occurred during situations like power outages.

Fatherhood 101 : Bought A Cabinet For Baby's Things

My Wife and I where planning for months to buy a cabinet for which we could use to store our baby's things and toys. So after attending church, we went to MAKRO to see if there are some nice cabinets that we could buy. Alas! we found a nice wooden cabinet suitable for our upcoming "angel".

It took me about an hour and a half to finish assembling the cabinet.

Shanghai Kiss: Diversity and Romance

Yesterday (Sunday) was a day of R and R for me so I decided to watch some DVD movie. I borrowed from my brother this new DVD titled "Shanghai Kiss".

Short Summary of the Movie:

Liam Liu (Ken Leung), an Chinese-American actor living in Los Angeles unwittingly gets involved with a high school girl(Adelaide played by Hayden Panettiere). He suddenly has to go to China after learning from his father that he has inherited his grandmother's home in Shanghai. He's not being appreciative of his Chinese roots and at first only wants to sell the house and get back to the U.S. as fast as possible. He gets a taste of the Chinese culture after meeting a girl there (Micki played by Kelly Hu) and end up having some big decisions to make.

Post Commentary: It's ok if you want to explore your roots yet if doing so sacrifices your way of life, your friends and loveones, then its not a good decision.
