What's up?

Perhaps I owe you an apology for my last post. Well I tried to file my resignation but I can't come to it because I don't have a replacement as of now. We're few in the office. Well I could have easily left but I wouldn't like to leave the previous company damaged as I am the only person capable of doing my task now. Right now I'm just waiting for somebody to replace me. But I guess it's not my time to go for now. And I have to be considerate since they somehow hired me when I was applying a few years back so maybe I should at least return the favor. I just hope I can handle more tasks coming ahead. I'm on a one-man team as of now.

games, books, stories, website .. etc

Hey buddy, It's been a while since I made my last post. I've been a little busy the past days.. Or should I say video games ate a lot of my time. Anyway I'm still reading books or should I say listening to audiobooks. I'm getting hooked up in stories of Lovecraft and all those Cthulhu mysteries. Oh well, they're a bit fun to read. Right now I'm planning to build a website. I've been setting it up on WordPress and I'm having a hard time using it. Or perhaps I can't use wordpress the way I want it like attaching media files, other stuffs and so on. So I though maybe I should build my own website instead though it would be a little challenging. But hey, Imma programmer.. At least this would give me a motivation to study about frameworks.

Writing to Earn

One of my sidelines (or I sometimes consider as a hobby) is doing write-ups and earning from them. I don't earn that much since I'm not a full time freelance writer. But somehow it also helps me and I learn a lot from it. My highest source of earning is from squidoo , a site that lets create a page with topic and write anything interesting on that page. If you'd like to see more of the sites I've joined, just visit the Earn Money section just on the menu. At first you will be visited by a adfly site but just skip it.

Noisy Neighborhood

It's midnight and I could hear the neighborhood having a party just a few walks ahead. Here in the Philippines one of the most favorite things people do during a party, aside from drinking, is singing on a karaoke. Although it may seem fun, it would still sound inconsiderate(especially when they sing with a lousy voice), and you can't sleep because of the noise. Voices shouting while an awful (and ugly perhaps) voice is singing. Call the police? Yeah right, they might even laugh at you. Here in the Philippines, we have a little justice problem. Or perhaps the police don't bother complains like these unless it's a serious case like robbery or some crime. Yeah I understand it is fun and I don't want to kill anybody's joy, but they could have rented a karaoke or maybe done it on a bar instead. I mean at least you're not disturbing anybody who is trying to sleep. It may seem expensive but at least it's just a little expense in compared to the food,...

Getting Rid of Clutter/ Adding new stuffs

I've just gotten rid of the blogger toolbar from on of my blog . I just noticed there is an increasing amount of visitors so I decided to remove some clutter like pop-up ads, and the top bar which is only useful for google and blogger users. Still I've added some widgets like that crazy flying twitter bird and an updated wibiya toolbar. I hope it goes well

Where my old articles go..

Whenever an article I post in a website gets removed(mostly because it gets out of date, not anymore visited, or might have come short to the standards of a website), I transfer them to a different location. I created a blog called The Archive corner . It is the archive blog of my old works, since I feel that some information in those write-ups might come in handy someday.

Anything but Recaptcha

Whenever I fill up some forms, I am just one of those who easily get annoyed from Google ReCaptcha. I guess a lot of people also get annoyed from this. Before you can submit, you should be able to identify the two words indicated. Things get worse if you press enter and still you made a wrong guess. Sometimes the text also get a little cryptic like when other symbols (like Greek words or words you don't find in the dictionary appear). It used to be Captcha, guessing only one word until spambots seem to have outsmarted captchas to that's where ReCaptcha was made But despite that I don't like it, I still manage to use it since it helped me block some spam users from signing up and sending comments to my website  with the help of akismet anti-spam plugin. But anyway that's a little guessing game to ensure your safety as well. And I guess it would be annoying if something else should be guessed. Now I'm just kidding about the complex math problem, alt...

Bad Decisions and Regrets

I often get bothered from the decisions I made in the past especially those which seem to be bad. Although I know that I should get over with them since I know I should not live on regrets, I am still bothered because of the current situations I am facing now. Ok so what's that stuff that been bothering me? That's a bit personal matter for me to discuss but since I love you even though I do not know you because you're taking your time in reading this like no other, alright you can have my story. These past days, I am missing some of the things I`ve enjoyed on my previous work. Though difficult and challenging I am still enjoying it since I do it as a team with my college friends and colleagues. Those fun trips. Arguing about some project related solutions, going out to see places, doing overnight projects though stressful yet that was kinda fun, competing on (in a playful matter), learning new things together... Yeah those were the days, These were the things I...

Googled Thoughts: You can't please everyone

You can't please everyone, and you can't make everyone like you. Stop wasting your time on people who don't love you If people are trying to bring you down, It only means you are above them. Life isn't about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself. You can do what makes you happy, and and just hope that those around will be happy for you. Once you learn how to be happy, you won't tolerate being around people that makes you feel anything less. You can't please everyone, and that's a fact

Time to speak up...

Im planning of starting a new podcast site with the help of some resources.   Actually I already have a podcast site here  but I won't be using it anymore. I'll be using a different account and blog when I start doing this. I'd just like to try different things. I also made some drafts for the episodes for the upcoming podcast site, although I'm a bit worried people might not like it. But it will just be like a blog diary so I don't expect much visits since it's just a voice archive. I hope I can continue on this. You can also comment a link to your podcast site.

Learning Things

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”  -Mahatma Ghandhi "I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.  " -Nikola Tesla I don't know. Whenever I learn something new, I just get this weird feeling of enthusiasm whenever I learn something new. It's so fun to learn.. sometimes I think that I should not be wasting my time because it is good to learn new things. Explore the internet, read books, etc are just some of the places where I  get some new things.

Stranded

I had a morning. The FX I rode this morning dropped me half-way to my destination which was near Olivarez because of the flood in SM Sucat that caused the heavy traffic. Vehicles hardly budge. Most of them had to take a counter flow which is still under heavy traffic. Only one lane of the other side of the road is being used which mostly are vehicles who counter flowed but It was actually difficult to find a ride to work. Most of the jeepneys and FX were full. But after a few minutes of waiting I got my ride.

Just a note

That was a day. I just bought a new notebook and a set of ballpen (Three different colors). I often lose a ballpen whenever I bring it to the office. As if somebody "eats" it when it gets borrowed. Oh enough of the grotesque thinking. A notebook and 3 HBW ballpens. I don't mind if it has a Name, Grade and Teacher  stuff on the front page just give me something to write on So this notebook is not a diary. Diaries don't contain draft writings and HTML tags. This is just for writing drafts for my blogs. You hear that? I'mma coming back to the writin' world. It seems that my interest to write again just switched. So this is how I blog, I often write it down first on a paper before publishing online. It helps me do some revisions before publishing. I know some people who do this. Actually before blogging, I used to keep things written on my notebook or diary whatever you call it. I also write my drafts on yellow papers. an article draft in yello...

Behind Spectacles - Time for a change

It's been a while since we made our last post. I realized I need to make a few changes on this blog site. First noticeably on our title which was The Jerminator before now changed to behind spectacles.. why the crappy name? We'll discuss that later after a few moments. Other changes also involve removal of ads like infolinks and chitika save for the google adsense bar on the right and opendrive link at the bottom. Added some twitter widget.. the new twitter widget seems pretty cool since you can post tweets on the widget like a guest book. So why the Behind Spectacles thing? When I look at the mirror, all I see is someone with glasses staring at me. It seems that I've been attached to these glasses for a while. I can't see well without it. I remove the glasses, I see a different person. Always trying to conceal himself behind spectacles, pretending to be strong, weak, lonely... Aw come on, not that . Although sometimes I still wonder maybe it's time I c...

The Feb 28 Passenger Jam

One of the stressful commute home was yesterday. This is after some evangelical rally. It was difficult to go home since all of the buses were full..  Had to go to the other street just to wait for a bus. And it also looked dangerous as well since the bus might hit someone with all of the people everywhere. Looks crowded and dangerous I had to stand up in the bus because it was full and the annoying conductor just keeps on letting people in not thinking that the bus might collapse anytme. But it's not that worse compared to my PNR Train nightmare. And I guess Japan is used to crowds like these during rush hour. Japan's crowded subway

Nang ako'y Sumali sa The Chronicler

N ang sumali ako sa the Chronicler, marami na ring naganap na pagbabago sa buhay estudyante ko. Meron nga ba? At ano ba ang the Chronicler? At anong ginagawa at nagagawa nito. Ang the Chronicler ay ang opisyal na publikasyon ng Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Taguig campus. Ang mga nilalaman nito ay tumatalakay sa mga isyu na pang estudyante, pang komunidad at pati na rin sa bansa. Kasapi ito sa College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP) at Alyansa ng Kabataang Mamahayag (AKM-PUP). Layunin ng the Chronicler ay Pen and Vigilance: In the defense of the Student's Rights. Bale pang estudyante ang pahayagan ito. Naalalako nung sumasali pa lamang ako dun (na medyo late na kasi third year na ako pero mga sumasali ay mga first year), nagtake ako ng test. Hindi ako magaling na writer pero nagulat na lamang ako nang makapasa ako dun. Ang exam ay binubuo ng identification na konti lang ang nasagutan ko ng tama. Bahagi rin ng exam ay newswriting na kung saan ay malaki ...

Who am I?

O ne of the first things I would like to post in my blog is something about myself. Allow me to introduce my self, My name is Jereme, (pronounced as jerem ) I am a Filipino born in Dubai, UAE. But I presently live here in the Philippines. The location is somewhere in Manila, or something like that. Right now I am turning 19 on January 2008. I hope I could eat more birthday spaghetti on that day. I am in college right now, at my third year, taking up Bachelor of Science in Information Technology in the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Taguig Branch, a state university. And a very unfortunate irregular student. When it comes to my interests, I like reading. Yes, I like reading books especially if it is science fiction, Adventure, thriller, or anything interesting. I also like writing. Whether it is writing poems, essays, or any literary stuff, I make it one of my hobbies. Listening to music is also a good hobby for me. I enjoy listening to Classic Rock, Jazz, acoustics, or anyt...
