R.I.P. The King of Philippine Hiphop; The King of Philippine Rap, The Master Rapper. R.I.P. Francis "Kiko" Magalona

R.I.P. The King of Philippine Hiphop; The King of Philippine Rap, The Master Rapper. R.I.P. Francis "Kiko" Magalona

This news broke out like a massive wildfire, I received tons of IMs, txt msgs, plurk post about the death of Francis "Kiko" Magalona. At first, I don't believe it.. I can't believe it unless I've seen or read in news. Thanks to one of my plurk friends who gave me this link http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/topstories/topstories/view/20090306-192678/Rapper-Francis-Magalona-passes-away which I have read right away to once and for all confirm the issue. Then when I read it, I still can't believe it or I just don't want to believe it. I have to admit that I'm not really that shock but instead I felt like is this for real? Is this real? He is a poet, patriotic, nationalist, lyricist, mentor, singer, photographer, rapper, innovator, teacher, influence, role model, father, brother and many more that one can describe him. I don't really know him personally. I know him as one of my influence. When I was still young listening to his music, I would memorize his lines and rap it. I still remember those line like "Nasa palad mo, ang kapalaran, kabataan para sa kinabukasan" from his song "Kabataan Para Sa Kinabukasan" which is one of my favorite local rap song. Cold summer nights, Three Stars and A Sun, Kaleidoscope World and so many other songs that is on my list. I still got his album, the 2-disc CD Album of Freeman 1 & 2 and his other albums. His biggest hit for me is the “Mga Kababayan” which is probably his biggest hit and most influential song that he has ever written. I think most of the rappers and aspiring rappers today has idolized and/or being influenced by him. He is probably the greatest lost of the Philippine Hiphop Scene. He has helped so many rappers and people to pursue their dreams. He has inspired and touched so many lives. Until now, I still can’t believe that he died. He never died. He just traveled. He has his place in history. He will never be forgotten. He will forever live in our hearts and minds. He is a King. Long Live the King!

Rapper Francis Magalona passes away
By Gerry Plaza
INQUIRER.net
First Posted 12:44:00 03/06/2009

MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE 2) Rapper-TV host Francis Magalona died of leukemia Friday at the Medical City in Mandaluyong, his co-hosts at the GMA Network’s noontime show “Eat Bulaga” said. He was 44.

Magalona succumbed to severe sepsis as a complication of leukemia and passed away at 12 noon, said Philippine Daily Inquirer sources who were not authorized to talk to media.

Magalona had been undergoing several chemotherapy sessions since he was diagnosed with the disease in August last year but was too weak to fight the infection, sources said.

Magalona is the son of popular 1950s movie tandem Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran.

“I don't want a media circus. I want privacy with my family,” Francis said in a phone interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, after reports of his illness broke out.

“What I'd rather talk about is how to we can solicit blood donations to replace the supply that I have consumed in the hospital,” said Magalona, the father of eight children.

Francis' wife, Pia Arroyo-Magalona, said her husband started exhibiting symptoms in March this year. “It was very gradual, hindi siya biglaang lumabas [it didn't manifest right away].”

Same Painful End

Same Painful End
By madshock
www.madshock.tk // www.madshock.com

I don't really know what comes to you
I don't even know what's you're up to
How can you possibly lie to me?
And betray a trust that's been given by me
Did I done you something wrong?
Or did I just let you fool me all along?

I know you know how my story goes
How my heart breaks and how my world rumbles and shakes
You came and tried to rescue me
And thought me how wonderful life ahead could be

All those laughter’s, tears, funs and cry
How in a world you could possibly lie
I don't understand why you have to deny
And say sorry for you don't intend to hide

Until this day I really don't know
Why you've been hurting me and hurting me alone
I thought we already talked about this
But here again you're the one breaking this

I am not the one who really want goodbye
Nor I want a relationship which is full of lies
Now I've learned that it’s really gonna hurt if we say goodbye
But I've also learned that what's more painful is if you know
That the one you love is making you the sweetest lie.

I'm not the one who really wants to give up
Nor the perfect one for you to live up
But it's a different case if you're the one ruining our relationship
That I've tried so hard to push through and taking care not to slip

In my wreckage you showed me a different world
A new life, a new hope, a new start
I take that path the you laid upon me thinking it was different
But what I did not know is that you'll be giving me the same painful end.

RIP Nasty Mac - a very talented artist. humble even in fame.

Fête de la Musique 2007

2007-06-22T09:37:00.001+08:00

A French salute to Filipino artistry gathers the finest musical acts of this generation in an all-night street party in the spirit of rebirth and regrowth, and fun of course! Be in harmony with the world!

Introduced in France in 1982 by then Minister for Culture Jack Lang, the Fête de la Musique is an all-day, all-night celebration of music to welcome summer. Musicians, amateurs and professionals perform freely in public places, from parks to street corner.

It became a very popular event, and through the network of French Embassies and French cultural centers and Alliances Françaises, it easily spread to many countries worldwide. It is now celebrated in simultaneously in more than 120 countries.

In Manila, the Fête has been celebrated since 1994, from Malate to Fort Bonifacio, to El Pueblo and Eastwood, gathering some 10,000 music-lovers in a street party that appropriately closes the cultural season, the French Spring in Manila, and where more than a hundred bands perform in ten stages simultaneously, offering the full spectrum of musical genre from World Music to Rock, Alternative, Reggae, Jazz, Blues, Electronica, Acousitic, Hip Hop and RnB.

This year, the Universal Stage (in Plaza Rajah Sulayman, Roxas Boulevard) will showcase a selection of musicians of these musical categories, World Music and Electronica Stage (in Ma. Orosa cor. Nakpil Sts.), Rock and Alternative Stage (in Remedios Circle), Hip Hop and Alternative Stage (in Adriatico cor. Nakpil Sts.) will accomodate bands from various musical genres. Thus, the Fête de la Musique reaches all corners of the capital.

Silverlight version 2.5 (White) - SE W300i Theme

2007-04-27T18:08:00.001+08:00

I have created another theme which is same as the first theme that I have created but this time its white. This is the version 2.5 of the Silverlight theme that I have first created for the SonyEricsson W300i. This is also compatible for those using K310i. Why version 2.5? It’s version 2.5 because I have another version which is the version 2.0 and the only difference of this from the previous version (2.0 White) is that the soft key or key press contains diagonal lines and feather filters. I have tried to use it but I don’t like the effect of the feather so I modified it and also make it a little smaller in file size. You can download this theme at http://www.freewebs.com/madshock/SilverlightWhitev2.5.thm

Silverlight - my first SonyEricsson W300i theme

2007-04-26T09:42:00.000+08:00

This is my first created theme. Inspired by Silverlight of Microsoft. Created for w300i but also compatible to k310i. I have tested this in my phone so I hope to hear comment from those who will download this theme.

You can download the theme by clicking here or by typing this URL to your browser - http://www.freewebs.com/madshock/Silverlight.thm

Redesigning myDigitalBlog

2007-04-20T18:45:00.000+08:00

I have revised the design of my blog in Blogger.com which is titled “myDigitalBlog | my.thought.speaks” with web address: http://www.mydigitalblog.blogspot.com. Actually, myDigitalBlog (www.mydigitalblog.blogspot.com) was the first blogsite that I have created using my account in Google for the Blogger.com. I’m not really into this blogging thing before but more on wanting to develop my own website but let’s face the fact that blogging have been a very interesting and powerful tool over the internet in the recent years whether be it corporate blog, personal, group or anything, it has evolved from just a typical diary-like personal hobby to a more popular and powerful form of online hobby. I have also decided create a new blog with wordpress.com which I now prefer to use because of the easier approach and more creative themes available than other blog providers. My other blogsite: “myMusic.myThoughts” with web address: www.madshock.wordpress.com has been my new approach in my online activity.

Redesigning myDigitalBlog – redesigning my first blogsite was not easy especially preserving links and customization that I have done. It’s not easy doing this kind of stuff because when I choose new template in blogger, all my codes will be lost. So, I copy my codes and then work out to change my theme into more green. Why green? I’m a type of person who prefers green over other color. I’m an environmental person wherein I wanted to see mountains, greeneries and other green landscapes because I felt that my eyes was being refreshed and breathing nature’s air was a more relaxing experience than being in a polluted city. After choosing a new theme, then I started to edit my code and insert those codes that I want to preserve and put some additional codes. Now, testing myDigitalBlog was another issue because I need to test my codes if it suits well in the design and properly integrated. Test, test, test! Satisfying me with the design was a crucial part because if you are designing, your hunger in seeing things will be much greater by using your mind into satisfaction. So after testing it and viewing in my browser countless times, finally I have finished my update. Next time, I want to know how to develop and write an article with creativity. I want to learn about creative writing. My writing really sucks!

Synchronize blogs

2007-04-18T16:39:00.000+08:00

I have decided to synchronize my MSN Live Spaces to my other blogs in wordpress, blogger and opera. I just thought of reviving this place just this afternoon.

Listed below are my other blogsites:

US campus shooting outrage shocks the world

2007-04-18T15:38:00.000+08:00

This morning, I cannot truly believe that such a scenario as this worst would happen to one of the schools in the US or anywhere else in the world. First, the students should feel more secure in school than the outside. Second, no one would ever think that a student would kill people inside the school. Third, I cannot figure out why this tragedy has to happen. 33 people died including the suspect, a lone suspect capable of manslaughter and massive shooting killing 32 people and wounding others from students to professors. So many lives have lost.

I’m referring to the news from cable news, TV, newspapers, online news, forums and even instant messengers which broke out the silence of the world by a devastating news which came from Virginia Tech campus. Just to think that you are in school and studying but then all of a sudden you’ll end up like this. I want to extend my deepest condolences to all the victims of this crime. I also agree to the lines from a movie which goes “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Let us just hope that none of this would ever happen again, let us hope that the war in the southern Philippines, Iraq, Sudan and other places around the globe would end because the only victims are those who don’t even know why there is war but they are the ones who suffered most and not those who started the war.

Windows Live Writer (Beta) - Blog test

2007-03-23T17:58:00.000+08:00

I have downloaded Windows Live Writer (Beta) from Windows Live Ideas website to test it’s capabilities because I’m interested about reading the information provided in their website and one of the best things is that it’s free. Here are some previews:

it’s a FREE downloadable program that can help you to use rich content in your blog and also a preview of your post before publishing it to the internet.
it’s a WYSIWYG editing program which you can use style of your blog, fonts, colors, spacing and other things.
it provides OFFLINE Editing wherein you can compose and edit your drafts even if you are not connected to the internet.
it has smart image publishing which you can add images or picture to your post which automatically appears as a thumbnail that links to the larger images with more information to it.
it has spell checking capability
it automatically create a link on a website that you will input
it is compatible to mostly used blog program around like Blogger, Wordpress, Live
Journal, TypePad, Windows Live Spaces and other blog services.

As my test continues, I have also things which I don’t like about this program:

the spell checker did not automatically show the misspelled words which I found to be inconvenient because you still have to click the spell check button before you know that you have already misspelled a word. A more effective way to this approach is like the MS Word spell check function in which you do not have to click the spell check to show you that you have a misspelled word by showing a red underline on the word.
no grammar check functionality. For me, I thinks it’s better to include this function so that you can know that you have a grammar error. To sum up these two observations, I would love to have the same function as the MS Word Spell and Grammar Check function.
No frame split between code and preview. Not all blogger don’t have any idea of the html codes. I like to insert video, animation or things that I want to show to the web but clicking the view menu and selecting html code layout is not helpful in writing a blog. For me, I would like to have an option wherein you can split frame between code and web layout which the user can choose if they want to see the code or just web format for those who do not have enough knowledge or don’t want to see the code.
It automatically converts a carriage return or when you press enter to a 1.5 line spacing. I would rather want to make it as a single space or a break function.
No Font type and Font size function making changing fonts more inconvenient because you have to click Format on the Menu bar and choose Font and Font size.
No “justify” choice in the align selection. It only has left, right and center align selections.
The Map is not that accurate in the Philippines which misses most of the streets and roads. Although it has include other major roads, many streets and important roads are missing. I don’t know if the United States map is more accurate than the one in the Philippines.

This post is a proof of Windows Live Writer (Beta). I wonder how this will look after publishing in my blogsite. For more information about this program, you can visit Windows Live Ideas website: http://ideas.live.com. Try it for yourself!

Google.com (English IP)

2007-03-16T13:23:00.000+08:00

http://66.102.9.104/ = Google.com (English)

Google (English) IP – I am searching for a specific keyword on Google.com and to my surprise in one of the results, displayed on the address bar of my Firefox browser is the IP (Internet Protocol) of the Google.com English site. There are very rare cases in which a specific website will display the IP on the address bar because we know them by their domain name. In this case, it’s the Google.com with 66.102.9.104 IP. You can try this to see if this will work, try typing: 66.102.9.104 in the address bar of your browser and you will get Google.com (English). But who will care for this IP? Rather than typing that hard to remember IP, it’s better to type the domain name. I just want to share this accidental discovery of the Google.com (English) IP.

Street Def Jam - since 1995 | eternal

2007-03-15T20:45:00.000+08:00

Redesigning our groupsite into a new one.

Street Def Jam - this is my dance group and also our friends group which has been existing since 1995 up to date. We have our long long history in the field of dancing which binds me and my friends since high school which we have treasured. We have our existing groupsite which I have done before when I’m just starting to learn about web publishing way back 2001.

Through the years, this group has emerged from just a simple high school dance group to a new kind of group which serve as our fun and friendly side to showcase our skills in dancing. We have danced from normal dance routine to guest dancers to other gathering such as intermission dance in dance contests, sports fest, coronation nights, debuts, political gatherings, fiestas, stage dance, dance parties and many others. Our group name have transformed from “Street Movers” to a new more mature, broad and exclusive group now known as the “Street Def Jam.” A humble beginning of some young energetic individuals who dance for fun, fame and glory. We are the Street Def Jam… since 1995 to eternal.

Our new groupsite: www.streetdefjam.co.nr

Breakdancing – extreme skill in the art of dancing

2007-03-05T09:12:00.000+08:00

Breakdancing – extreme skill in the art of dancing. This is one of the few things that I used do. It’s been a long time since I’m doing breakdancing and I only tried to do it again to know if I still got the skills that I have before. The voice in this video is my brother’s voice because I asked him to capture my moves. And after doing this, I realized that I need to sharpen my skills and practice my moves because my flare is not as good as before. The thud sound is the sound of my feet. This was done inside our house and if my feet extends 1 foot, I will bump in our wall resulting to dropping of our picture frames and possibly hitting the sewing machine of my mother. The other direction is our chair and on the floor is the playstation of my brother so I actually have to be very careful. I still can do my moves but I admit that I have to sharpen my skills also. I will post my other breakdance and acrobatic moves but it depends on my mood. This video was captured using sonyericsson w300i. Location: our house (in Pulo, San Rafael, Bulacan).

my 1st YouTube video

2007-01-11T19:07:00.000+08:00

Last night I have uploaded my first video on youtube. I have been in youtube months ago but I have not tried publishing any videos yet. I have some favorite video that I have found on youtube which I watched always whenever I feel like watching those vids. Some of these are the videos of The Grand Finale: Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales 3, Stand up comedian Manny Poohkiaw’s appearance in Wowowee which made me laughed out of my seat and other videos. And last night, I have thought of showing on youtube the video that I have captured from a cellphone, well actually I’m the one who take the video and the voice-over of the character which includes the fancy stuff dog bag and the big teddy bear. It was so short which only runs a couple of seconds. I want to make a video but since I’m so busy and I don’t have any video camera as well, I think this will take time for me to publish another video.

Here’s the video:

Webhost frustration

2006-12-19T21:46:00.000+08:00

I’m very disappointed and frustrated with our company’s webhost because our website was terminated in a reason which I myself didn’t even know for the fact that we have paid the whole year hosting fee and domain fee. I learned that our hosting and domain was cancelled because I’m going to upload some files needed by our client within the day. When I’m logging via ftp, I am wondering why I cannot log. I tried to visit our company website and to my surprise, it was terminated without valid reason at all. I quickly contacted our hosting firm and then he asked me if we have settled our billing and I told that it was already paid as of December 12, 2006 including the whole year fee for the hosting and domain. But that’s not the most frustrating part because I have to upload the internal site which I have created for the use of our client for browsing information. I have to send them the website as soon as possible before 6pm today, she phoned me also to know if it is possible for them to see the site because they urgently needed it.

Out of frustration, I have registered to a free host over the internet which I also use for a long time. By the way, I’m using free hosting and free domain for a very long time, let’s just say that from the day I learned how to design until now I’m still using free host. Thanks to them for providing such wonderful service and for the guarantee that it was uptime 24 x 7 unlike other paid hosting services which you already paid for it but sometimes it encounters downtime thereby interferring with the progress of your webdesigning life and frustrating you with the unreliable service.

I rather not mention the name of the our web host because I don’t want to ruin their business practice even though they ruin my day. I just hope that for all other web designer, web practitioners and web developers alike… think twice and know your web host well. I’ am looking for a more reliable web host available locally in our country. I have remove our current provider from the list of possible host of our next web project because of their unreliable hosting practice and unbusiness approach to their clients. I hope you wouldn’t end up being frustrated like me.

To web hosting firms and services alike out there, please be business friendly, reliable and costumer friendly. Please be reminded that an hour or a day of downtime will cost us costumers lose more money in a day than the cost of your hosting and domain fee for one year combined. To our current webhost, you have loss us an amount twice the annual fee of our domain and hosting fee combined. I hope you will change your attitude and business practice to your clients… I will not use your service in our new project and I will not renew our hosting and domain in your company after 2007. Thank you for being unreliable for 2 times within this year alone. Improve your services please.

Bright Lights Dance Remix

2006-12-13T18:19:00.000+08:00

I’m in a rush posting this article regarding the song “Bright Lights” by Billy Crawford which I have remixed to be used for teaching dance steps for the small dance contest in a company. I will post another article regarding this because I’m in a hurry to beat the clock because today is the final practise of the dance and I’m the choreographer (ahem, I tried hehe) so to supervise all the props and things needed for the final execution. I will post the remix song maybe tomorrow or days after if I’m not busy. See you all.

Bluetooth... connection for your pc & phone

2006-11-08T21:41:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I bought Bluetooth in a nearby computer shop. My boss asked me to connect his phone N70 to his PC because the cable for N70 to PC is not working well. I bought Surecom Bluetooth amounting 800+ something. I installed it in the PC and also I found out that it’s easy to install and use plus I can use it as well in my phone ha-ha. I also downloaded the updated PC Suite for his phone. I tried connecting the phone via cable but it seems that it’s really not working. So, I tried using the Bluetooth. Well, connection is ok but I noticed that it’s a bit slow than cable but frankly saying… it was flexible and easy to use with wide range of connection up to more than 10 meters so you can use it even you are 10 meters away or more provided that there’s no things that can harm the connection. I also installed it to my PC and I connected thru it to back up the pictures saved in my phone so I can delete it and take more pics. I’m a bit lazy posting blogs now. I have tons of work loaded in my desk and also, I’m having a hard time thinking of a nice concept for redesigning our company’s website. Just keep reading. I’ll post some when I’m not busy. Thanks for reading.

Networking... installation of 8-port switch

2006-10-08T13:52:00.000+08:00

Today, I have to install an ８－port switch in our office. I have never tried installing this switch before because what I have setup before in our office is a ４ port router. I bought a D-Link DES－１００８D ８－port １０/100Mbps Switch last Friday in PC Express Pasong Tamo Branch (www.pcx.com.ph) to be installed today in our office because I cannot do it last Friday since I have too many work to do. My job position is web designer but in our office, my function is a ONE-MAN IT TEAM. Why I said it’s a one-man IT Team? Because I’m doing all the things that an IT Team is doing. I’m the only person in our office to do all this task including, web designing, networking, setups and installation, virus removing, PC configuration, Accounting, Graphical and forms designing and other IT related work which sometimes I feel too much work in my part wherein our company has saved so much money because of this. I’m the technical department as well. In my work, I have never been absent not a single day because I feel that being absent for one day is like a loss of profit. The daily operation will be slowed down if not shutting the office because no one will do my job and no one can do my job in our office making them helpless. Well, so much for this work stories blah blah blah and let me continue the installation.

8-port Switch installation procedure:
1. Open the package and check the switch if it is complete – this must include the following as per the switch manual stated:
 DES-1008D 10/100M Fast Ethernet Switch or should I say… the switch itself.
 User Manual. It must be present even if you buy software, gadgets and anything that requires know-how.
 Quick Installation Guide. This is like a tricky additional paper folded things that you will find here. I actually did not read this one because I feel I have know the things I need to know in the User Manual.
 DC Power Adapter. Without this, the switch will never work because this will be the source of the power input to the switch.

Well, time to install. First, I put the adapter to the power source (which is the AVR) then I put the adapter to the switch (the other end of the adapter which will connect it to the switch) so that it can have a power. Second, I put the network cable from the router to the switch so that the switch can distribute the router to an 8-port switch. Third, I put all the other network cable from other pc to the switch so that I can have a connection to our LAN and Internet. Forth, it’s all done working! Total computer with internet: 5. it’s four computers and 1 laptop in total. I thought this is complicated but I was wrong. This is easier than I thought. Less than 20 minutes of installation process at zero perspiration. So, my installation is done and gladly, I can update this blog. Thanks for your time. I will post other things soon, I have to go home and relax because tomorrow will be a busy day. Good luck and enjoy ;)

Asawa ko 'to

2006-04-07T20:38:00.000+08:00

Before going home from my work, I have tried doing some tricks in the picture of my girlfriend (oh yes, asawa ko 'to). I also put my picture (yes, the miniature one with white border) and her picture together. The name of the artist who created this one is "Adobe Photoshop." There are lots of things that this thing can do, it can make your picture like a cartoon or something with shadow effect, pixelate, mosaic, glass and many more. I haven't explored yet the other capabilities of this software but for sure, as time goes... I'm learning new things, new tricks, new ideas will come out. I maybe not as good as other web designers and artists around but I will learn more. I hope my girlfriend will like this one.

To my girlfriend:

I love you so much... thanks for staying with me thru ups and down. Thank you for always being there. I dearly love you. Mwah!

To see is not always to believe

2006-03-27T18:49:00.000+08:00

If you think to see is to believe, then you have to think twice... not all things are proven by eyes. An article regarding lying eyes is what I have read this afternoon which also tackles about optical illusion in the website of ScienceMag. Do you think this image is moving? Think again... this is just a jpeg image so how can it work like a gif image? You see it rotating? Get a ruler and measure the same distance and place of the image if it really moves. This was I have found out in an article of Science this afternoon which has a title: High-speed surprise for lying eyes By Ingrid Wickelgren of ScienceNOW Daily News. Other related website is: Akiyoshi's illusion pages.

I'm on Google Pages

2006-03-21T20:25:00.000+08:00

After being in Google Pages waiting list for quite a time, at last google approved me to have the Google pages service. I want to try this new service of google. I have tried using this google page creator and for me, this is for those who do not have knowledge in web design because when I tried putting some codes like embed and iframe, well it don’t work. However, putting text and images are easy just like you’re typing in Microsoft word or any word processing tool that you know. Editing your text is even easier. For days of exploring the capabilities of this google pages, I found out that even it has many limits that a web designer or a web coder wants to do… It loads faster and user-friendly and I think that this was really created for those who do not have any knowledge in creating website. I also provide a whooping 100mb of webspace. Creating new pages is easy with one click. You can change the layout and template anytime but for those who are really into web designing, I think this will limit you. Like me, I tried doing the codes. You can view my google pages at: http://madshock.googlepages.com. Google Pages is another great innovation from Google. Google power! Go Google!

Photoshop... design samples

2006-03-20T19:19:00.000+08:00

This is one of the images that I designed using Photoshop. I would like to thank Reizy for putting this design on her friendster. I use sharp over mosaic effect on the image and white stroke on the pink Westside Type font to create the word Rei in a graffiti style text. The pink bar on the background of the text is a rectangle and I add emboss with gradient effect and a little fading effect with outside glow. On the small picture, I use white stroke effect and outer glow with a shadow effect. The pink leaves are small brush effects. I dedicate this design to Reizy. Always take care. I’ll just post the other Photoshop image design that I have created. I’m just beginning to explore the capabilities of adobe Photoshop. I use Photoshop 7.0 on this one. Now, I’m using Photoshop CS but I also have Photoshop CS2 installed in my pc but rarely use it due to large amount of memory it consumes thereby making it to run in super-slow mode. Enjoy designing!

Note: Photoshop® is owned by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Visit the website: http://www.adobe.com for more details.

Slide and show it out!

2006-03-06T20:40:00.000+08:00

Slide it! Show it how it slides!

So you want something to spice up you website, blogsite, friendster page or myspace? I have found out something new to me… it’s like a slide in a mini-frame that is moving on your page or desktop and the best of all is it’s FREE! I’ve always wanted something to be free like my website and blogsite. I have never paid any single cent in having my website and blogsite. Have you heard of slide? I’ve heard of flickr but this slide is new to me or am I outdated enough to not hear this funny thing? I haven’t heard this thing from any of my friends. This mini-thing which shows sliding pictures can be put in your friendster page, myspace page, website or blogsite or even in your desktop. It’s so easy to use… you just have to browse your picture and upload it, it also generates code so that you can insert it in your website or blogsite or page including friendster and myspace. I also noticed that this loads faster than any other website which offers uploading of your picture. This service is called “Slide” and it shows you a visual stream of pictures of things that you like whether it be a picture of event, gadget, news, celebrities, stuffs and your own picture or your friends picture or your friend’s friend picture but you don’t have enough time to find it out or show it to the cyber world. It can also generate a feed for your picture and slide it. The generated feed comes in RSS format. It is also viewable by others so you can share it to your friends, chatmates and relatives or even strangers out there. Try it and have fun! There’s no harm trying this one out… don’t worry it’s FREE! To know more about slide, please visit: www.slide.com.

Bulacan – NCC’s Best Provincial Website

2006-01-12T19:02:00.000+08:00

Once again, Bulakeños have something to be proud of, not only its rich history and friendly people. Its people are not only born heroic and poetic but also naturally creative. Bulacan can never be forgotten because it is home of three (3) republics, cradle of heroes and mother of poets and artists. It is also one of the best in the field of information technology and one of the pioneers in the country. I still remember before when my home province was one of the first provinces to have its own website and years ahead than other provinces and other cities in Metro Manila. The new website of the Province of Bulacan is redesigned because it was not the same one that I used to visit before. It is also chosen as the Best Provincial Website by the National Computer Center (NCC) in its 2005 eLGU Website Contest which also includes as finalists the provinces of Bataan, Bohol, Benguet and Zamboanga del Sur. You can read the full news in NCC LGU Web Contest Winners. You can visit the Provincial Government of Bulacan at: www.bulacan.gov.ph

I’m proud to be a Bulakeño! Heroic in blood… poetic by nature!

Good bye 2005... Hello 2006

2005-12-29T19:27:00.000+08:00

Well, I must say good bye for 2005. Tomorrow, I will be leaving this city (Makati) and go back in my home beloved province Bulacan. I want to relax, chill out and escape from this polluted city and heavy work. I’m dead tired this day. I want to breathe fresh air, hear those birds tweeting, see the green grass and trees, see the mountains and be with my family. Even our cats, yeah those d*mn cousins of tiger that usually having fun attacking our meals in the dining table… I miss them too.

I will watch movies… yeah even I have watched it before already I will still watch it because I have no time watching TV when I work again. I will go mountain biking and just scoot around visiting places and friends.

I only have 3 days to relax and enjoy the scent of nature. Unwind and chill out. See you on 2006. Have a happy new year everyone!

Bad day Christmas...

2005-12-27T17:57:00.000+08:00

Hmmm.. haven’t posted this entry earlier, actually I want to post this yesterday but I haven’t because of I just travelled from Bulacan to Makati yesterday morning and then go directly to office leaving me nothing but weary eyes and dead tired body. How was your Christmas, as for me I could not say it was that good but in fact it was a bad day. I haven’t eaten those delicious foods because I don’t feel well, I also have a bad stomach that day. The only things that I do is to take a rest, sleep, watch movie and go out to scoot. I also went to one of my friend’s house. I have to sleep early because I have work on the 26^th of December. Yesterday, there was no traffic when I travelled. The MRT is not crowded from North Avenue station up to Magallanes Station. I even bought Lucky me Sotanghon in a 7-Eleven Store near in my place. The entire day was very sleepy. Today, I really wanted to post about something else but I think I should post this entry first because I was so sleepy yesterday so I haven’t done this post. I also have to report to my boss who is in vacation to Canada right now.

MTV Card - Swipe Me Baby

2005-12-23T11:18:00.000+08:00

My boss is out for vacation in Canada from December 23 – January 2. So it means, I’m in charge. By the way I wanted to say happy holidays to all of you, I hope your Christmas will be happier this time… me? I just don’t know… let’s just say it goes on like that. Well, I just open an MTV Prepaid Card (E-card XP) Account in Equitable Bank last December 21 as a gift for myself. The card cost 110 with no minimum monthly charges and it works as an ATM and Credit Card packed with VISA Electron features and more. You can check it at www.equitablecard.com/mtv. You don’t need a bank account to avail this card, you just need an amount or value in peso denomination to load on the MTV Prepaid Card and it is reloadable anytime. Load the amount you want. And it’s nice to have a card with a punch line saying “Swipe me baby”

Yeah, I’ll swipe you and insert you in the flat hole. Go get one! Swipe me baby!

Badette's Web Photo Gallery!

2005-12-15T20:39:00.000+08:00

Whew, after days of installment designing, Badette’s Web Photo Gallery is finally online. Badette, my lil’ sis in chatroom have asked me to get some of her pictures which she will upload in her friendster account but I got an idea of designing an online photo gallery for her rather than sending her pictures in email, she allowed me to capture her images in webcam which I have ask her to make certain poses that she wants to be included in the picture. I have captured her images and got an idea of editing some of it. Also, I have included edited versions of her pictures which I have used Picasa 2 to make certain effects such as sepia, glow, soft focus, etc.

I used Macromedia Dreamweaver for the design integration and Adobe Photoshop for Layout, I also use Notepad… YES!!! This old traditional pad is very useful in furnishing web design… I think this is the oldest window-based word tool that I have ever used. Ongoing upgrade on design is still on progress. I would like to thank Badette for appreciating my work. You can visit her web photo gallery at http://www.badette.mypiece.com

And I can't take it yeah I can't shake it
Nooo

I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath you took right in front of me
When you said that u would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keep playing in my head
Over and over again
Playing my head
Over and over again
Ohh
I think she's leaving
Ooh man she's leaving
I don't know what else to do
(I Can't go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

(Now that I've realized that I'm going down
From all this pain you've put me through
Everytime I close my eyes I like it down
I can't go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

Over and Over again
Over and Over again
Cause it's all in my head

This songs reminds me of someone important... tired of this emotional wreckage, I wish to find light... enlighten me please Grand Mighty One!

It’s another time for unity! Set away all your differences… let us once again unite for a common purpose to show the world that we, Filipinos can be united despite of our differences in ideas, religion, education, status and whatsoever.

Ipod nano is hot and now it’s under fire!

2005-10-25T16:05:00.000+08:00

It’s hot after it was first released from consumers and now it’s under the flames of anger of its own consumers. Apple, the maker of the trendy and techocraze ipod nano is now under fire from its own consumer of the latest ipod nano due to its durability issue. It’s thinner than the typical ipod but not as durable as its mother ipod. Some consumers complain about its durability, vulnerability to scratch and cracks.

Actually, I’m not that aware of the durability issue of the ipod nano since I don’t even have an ipod but frankly saying, I like its thin design and it’s not as expensive as the original design of ipod but how would you balance the reliability? Design and price versus quality and features? Which one will you choose? I hope that Apple will soon try to settle down the design issue of its ipod nano. It’s one of the gadgets which is on my target list a.k.a. Things to buy by year 2006. (not 2005 ^_^)

Here are some news related to ipod nano issue:

Tell me where it hurts by M.Y.M.P.

2005-10-24T19:31:00.000+08:00

Why is that sad look in your eyes
Why are you crying
Tell me now, tell me now
Tell me, why you're feelin' this way
I hate to see you so down, oh baby
Is it your heart
Oh, that's breakin' all in pieces
Makin' you cry
Makin' you feel blue
Is there anything that I can do

Why don't you tell me where it hurts now, baby
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away

Where are all those tears coming from
Why are they falling
Somebody, somebody, somebody left your heart in the cold
You just need somebody to hold on, baby
Give me a chance to put back all the pieces
Take your broken heart
Make it just like new
There's so many things that I can do

Why don't you tell me where it hurts now, baby
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away

(Instrumental)

Oh I'm gonna take it all away, baby

Is it your heart
Oh, that's breakin' all in pieces
Makin' you cry
Makin' you feel blue
Is there anything that I can do

Why don't you tell me where it hurts now, baby
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away

Tell me, baby
Tell me, oh yea
Is there anything I can do, baby
Just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away

This song reminds me of someone who means a lot to me...

Landslide by Smashing Pumpkins

2005-10-19T19:28:00.000+08:00

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
'til a landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older, too
I'm getting older, too

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hill
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down

I'am a blogger newbie

2005-10-15T10:47:00.000+08:00

This is my first time ever to do blogging. I have established my own website but still I haven't tried this blogging thing... there are so many blogsites and the number of bloggers grow faster and wider from areas around the globe. Well, I don’t know how long will I be in this blogging thing since I’m just a newbie but I still prefer doing a website.

How to write effective blogs?
One of the questions in my mind these past few days… Sometimes I feel blogging is tiring because you need to write things but in the actual way… blogging is really for writing things that you want to share to other people. I have seen so many blogsites, some of them are attractive, some are educational, some for personal use, some treated their blogsite as their website and some are earning money thru the popular Google AdSense.

How long can blogging exist?
The answer to this question relies only to those who do blogging, how long will they keep on posting their blogs. An endless journey in the art of writing and expressing things. I have tried to establish my first blogsite… how about you? When will you share your thoughts?

Happy birthday to me ^_^

myDigitalBlog... re-digitalized!

2005-10-11T14:37:00.000+08:00

Welcome… months have past and I have nothing to do with this blog. Well, actually I have no time for blogging since I’m not a blogger anyway but then I have come up an idea of reviving this blogsite. This blogsite was previously known as madshock.blogspot.com. I have re-digitalized this blogsite to new one mydigitalblog.blogspot.com which now I called it as “myDigitalBlog…”

Sorry for being away for quite a time and not updating my blogsite. I don’t even know if someone visited this site because I’m more focused on my website which can be found at http://www.madshock.tk/ and also I have created an account in MSN Spaces which you can found at http://spaces.msn.com/members/madshock.
Now, I’m back with my thoughts on my mind… I’ll just post what happened to me these past few months and tell you why I’ve been very busy. So many things to do but my time are limited so I hope you’ll understand me.

Thank you for your time in dropping by in this little piece and reading these little thoughts. I would try to update this and post my other projects. Please also check out the links in “theInterestingSites” they are worth to visit. Live up your digital life… Thank you and long live!
