A few days ago, there was a storm that hit our place and the temperature again dropped. And as usual, she felt the temperature change. Wet season might come in a few months now (or might not, weather’s really weird) and I’m already thinking on how to help my wife with her ‘cold weather’ issues. We could buy a few stuff (if money allows) like a thicker blanket or thermal clothes. Anything that would give her warmth. Or I could also just embrace her and let my love give her warmth for the night.

In any ways, everybody feels some sort of ‘coldness’ in our lives, literary or emotionally. But it is a good thing that there’s always someone out there that could give us warmth. Most importantly, there is a God that continually gives us a warming love even if we keep on getting back to the cold.

Well, it’s still summer and I hope we would be able to save some money to buy some warmers. It’s never bad to prepare early.

Cheers.

We have a son and he is 4 years old. We always want to buy him boy’s sandals. My wife usually spot some good ones but the problem is, we can’t buy it because we’re not sure if it will fit my son’s foot. We don’t want to buy something only to learn that it won’t fit. One time, what we did is (as what some usually do here in the Philippines) to trace my son’s foot on a paper and use it as a template in choosing the right size for him. Unfortunately, it isn’t really accurate. We missed a few millimeters and I’m glad we chose a ‘bigger’ one.

I just recently saw this video. It’s quite amazing that there are already online store that have that kind of idea. I am not sure how accurate their results are, but I think it was a nice move for that company to make sure that the footwear their customer will receive will fit. It’s also a ‘very’ thorough step by step guide.

Reflecting a bit on this, our life is not a ‘one size fits it all’. We can’t just ‘assume’. We have to make sure that what we are doing will really ‘fit’ what we are designed to do. And just like looking for the right shoe or sandals for you or your child, most of the times, you have to try out a few before you find the right one.

Cheers.

My problem is, I have some books that I want to read and use in our ministry, but I have to keep it somewhere away from the computer. It is somewhat hidden so I usually forget that there is a book that I need to read.

I’m really thinking of getting an etagere where I can place those things that I need easy access. Like a few books, magazines, or properly display our family picture (etagere is a piece of furniture consisting of a set of open shelves for displaying small objects and sometimes having an enclosed cabinet as a base).

And while writing this, I just came to reflection that sometimes, the mess we have in our lives can be resolved if we just put the right thing on the right place. We tend to overcrowd ourselves with a lot of things and we forget which one we are going to prioritize.

So, now back to planning the best way to organize my stuff. Hmmnn, do we also need a bathroom etagere?

Cheers.

This is a rephrase of his story as posted at the Ubuntu Forums Philippine LoCo (here).

May 9, 2009 evening, Nhatz was walking on way to home (his motorcycle was borrowed by his brother), he crossed with 3 men who, without warning, stabbed him before declaring a “hold up” (Filipino slang for declaring robbery). He was able to catch one of the fatal strike by his hand. He was stabbed at his side (mild cut) but he went down. When he was trying to get up, he was stabbed by one of the robbers at the back. This is the part where he was thankful for Linux. He was wearing a bag and inside it is his book “Linux Administration for Beginners”. The knife hit that book and the knife didn’t wounded him that much. He was robbed but he survived and is currently recovering from his wounds.

I remember movies that has the same scenario. Being shot but the bullet will hit a medallion or something and it will save his life. Well. as for Nhatz’ case, he was saved (,,, somehow) by that book.

Times are getting tough.

The reason for the down time was the site is not rendering properly in IE (any version). I deleted my installation and tried reinstalling, that’s where all troubles came up. Due to restrictions on my webhost, can’t do proper install and upgrades. But now it’s okay. Still planning to move to a paid hosting for future enhancements.

BTW, the reason why the page wasn’t rendering properly was because of an incomplete clause on one of the post. I deleted the post and everything worked well..

Soli Deo Gloria.

Well, if you think that I should not put ads on this blog. You can put a comment and state the reason why and I might consider your concern. 

Have to think of what other contents I could place here. Also, I’m planning to change the name of the website.

God bless….
