Stumbled upon

I may have stumbled upon something new. New at least as far as I am concerned and that is pretty good. It does solve many issues that have been bothering me. I do have a number of sites which I painstakingly made years ago and I have been unable to update them regularly.


The lack of motivation for doing so stems from the fact that I do not have something visibly important to show for it like, making some money. I am not doing this for my health and it is something that does take up a lot of my time. So, I have heard of social bookmarking and there are many tools for doing this but these tools do cost money.


What better way to bookmark my new posts than to do it myself in these pages? I update this one day at a time and bookmark my other sites as well. I do not know how well this is going to turn out but I am always looking for ways of doing things without spending too much money

Jai was in Cagayan

In August, Jai went to Cagayan de Oro City just in time to celebrate his grandfather's anniversary of passing. He was there last December along with his brother when they attended their grandmother's birthday.

The Night Cafe has become a regular feature of Cagayan de Oro and people have gotten used to the idea that traffic is going to be hell around divisoria on Fridays and Saturdays. A new feature of Cagayan de Oro City is the ubiquitous billboarfs of Rufus Rodriguez and the repair of Apolinar Velez St. The repairs are almost done and soon they will be taking down the billboards. I think that Rufus will be a permanent fixture as the city's representative which is not a bad thing at all.

Mind Control

It has been a few days since I began my experiment and I am gratified to find out that I have been productive and many of the old things that were familiar refrains in my daily life have taken a leave of absence from the looks of it. I was able to do a lot of research and the many things that used to derail my peace of mind by agitating it and putting it in a state of constant conflict has abated somewhat. I can only say that I have won or am winning the first round. This is hardly the end of the fight and I have to be vigilant so that I don't go back to the hole, the dark pit which I call my life. Right now I have nothing to call by way of livelihood. I aim to change that and this is the very yardstick by which I measure my success in changing my life.

deja vu, each, eager, ear, earache, eardrum, earhart, earl, earlobe, early, earmark, earn, earnest, earnings, earphone, earring, earshot, earth, earthen, earthenware, earthling, earthmover, earthquake, earthshaking, earthworm, ease, easel, east, easter, eastern, easy, eat, eatery, eau, eaves, eavesdrop, ebb, ebony, ebook, ebullience, eccentric, ecclesiastical, echelon, echo, eclair, email

Anyway, here's Cagayan de Oro City with another one: Cagayan de Oro City. My Cebu City site has made pr1, surprise, surprise. Dumaguete is still in the boondocks as far as Google goes but Dumaguete has made some headway. Jai Alexander rocks!

Doing a little Magma Programming

Yesterday I finally moved on a project that needed to be moved along. There are a number of things that needed to be addressed. I felt that there would be a problem of losing data due to something which I could not place my finger on. So I did something and then I stopped. The solution I made came from something I did before in the past and I could not shake the nagging feeling that something was wrong. Something was really wrong and the error was not very obvious. I was saving chunks of things instead of saving pieces that changed. This was the error that was part of my preceived solution. There was no solution, just a catastrophe waiting to happen.

I felt good when I finally worked out the principle or the logic of the thing. I had no done any coding yet and so I could not really test if my idea was going to work after all. Still, it felt right and I did not have to do anything yet for the moment. I will verify it later.

Our favorites are: Ching's World, Green Tea, Dumaguete, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Moira Trinity Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Cebu are all in the Philippines in the world of Ching.

Make money online

A very nice thought and a very nice topic is Making Money Online. If one is able to do this then one would not have to dress up to go the office. One could justs sit in front of the computer in short pants. There is a way to make money but it would take a bit of an effort to accomplish this. When I made Ching's World, I had it in mind that people would make money and somehow make their online efforts worth while. What I had done is embed a mechanism where this would be discovered by being triggered by something. Cagayan de Oro was to be launching pad for these efforts. Why Cagayan de Oro you say? Well I say, why not? The plan is very simple, I need to promote the website so that it will percolate to the top of the search engine pages.

When milk is churned butter rises to the top and so should Cagayan de Oro find itself at the head of the pages whenever people search for the keywords, Cagayan de Oro. This is a simple plan but this plan needs to be implemented correctly in order to succeed. What is all this discussion of search engines and succeeding? Well, one cannot escape this discussion if one is to have a meaningful presence on the Internet. I am getting tired with all this thinking and typing. Let me stop a while and make a cup of tea.

Our favorites are: Ching's World, Green Tea, Dumaguete, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Moira Trinity Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Cebu are all in the Philippines in the world of Ching.

Patterns of Behavior

Could we see patterns in our lives? Do children have traits and characteristics that are similar to their parents? Would these children go through what their parents have gone through? Could these be called patterns of behavior? What do they mean when they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? What mechanism is there that enforces this? Is this genetic? Is there free will? Or, is it just an idealistic dream which does not really hold true in real life?

Wherever you are, you are never too far away from these: Day by Day, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Bethel Guest House, The Blog Bum, XUHS 1966. These are your friends who will keep you company when no one else is there for you.

Welcome to Ching' World, Moira Trinity, Papoy, Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu City. Could there be too much of a good thing? Ask Dumaguete.

Is it easy?

Is anything easy at all? There must be a way to move and be aware of movement that is in step with the rotation of the universe. The Milky Way Galaxy makes one rotation every 20 million years. Where do we stand in the scheme of things? We, who think that we are alone adrift in the Cosmos, insignificant in the magnificence of it all. Is it easy to say that we matter more than the entire mass of the universe?

We want the universe to stop when we hurt. We want all to stop when we are sad. What are we all about? Do we sink into the depths of absorption of external pursuits to the detriment of learning to love or perhaps just feel a teeny weeny tiny bit of longing for that which is greater than all combined? What does it all mean?

Does anything matter at all? A site, adrift in Cyber Space. Does another website matter? Does a pretty picture make sense in the carnage that happens in many parts of the world?
