Without the movers, chaos!

Admit it, you don’t relish the fact that your family is staging a general cleaning of the house from top to bottom. I will be honest here. I don’t! What more if your family will be moving? What a great upheaval it will be! Thank goodness for moving companies! My aunt’s sister-in-law’s family will be moving back to the country. They checked moving companies Los Angeles and have found Move East. It will be less hassle for the whole family and I am sure a lot of whining will be prevented if there are professionals who can help with the move. I can see the scenario in my head if there are no movers who will help out. Chaos! Hahaha

Rainy Friday

It’s the end of another day for me. My day ends before 6AM everyday. I work at odd hours and have found myself to be productive during these times. I was able to drop EC and do some posts. I am still wide awake, my sisters are listening to the radio regarding suspension of classes. Both teachers are going to school today.

I wonder why our weather bureau and the Department of Education can’t decide right away whether to suspend classes or not. The PAGASA can’t even predict the weather accurately! What kind of weather equipments are this government agency’s using?!? Today, June 5, 2009, all elementary and high school classes in the NCR are suspended, both public and private. DepEd made the announcement at 5:20AM! I hope the kids are still at home and have heard the announcement by now. Heavy rains will pour around 8AM according to PAGASA.

Be careful everyone! Happy rainy Friday!

A package that will give you savings

Have you noticed how packages wherein one can save money are “in” these days? I got a package for a landline and DSL about a year ago. It saves me 300 a month. Time Warner Cable is also offering a package for those interested in getting a Time Warner Digital Cable TV, phone and high-speed internet in one. All three services for the price of just $124.85 per month!

Bloggers need this kind of internet speed. Bloghopping, dropping EC, grabbing that opportunity before everyone does… If you connection is not a high-speed internet, you will lose many opportunities. Trust me in this. I’ve been on a dial-up before. The Time Warner Digital Phone, on the other hand, has unlimited local and free long distance calls. Perfect for wives who have husbands assigned for work elsewhere.

Confirmed cases of A(N1H1) virus in the Philippines

There are now 21 cases of the dreaded Influenza A(N1H1) virus in the Philippines, according to the Department of Health (DOH). One foreign exchange student from the De La Salle University (DLSU) has been confirmed positive with the virus, causing the temporary shutdown of the campus. Another person was confirmed to be positive. This time, it’s from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

The good news is that, 11 out of the 21 cases are now cured (Source). In fact, 5 of the 10 confirmed cases who came into contact with the Taiwanese mother and daughter have been discharged from the hospital already.

I hope this virus will be contained soon. Please be careful and boost your immune system. It’s flu season here in the country right now. Rainy season and all. Get a flu shot. It might not totally prevent the virus but then it might help your immune system. Ask your doctor about it. My sister and my brother are getting one next week. We will do everything to help our bodies fight the various diseases spreading around. You should, too.

Hassle-free removals

It’s hard moving from one home to another. From sorting what to bring and what to discard and leave, to packing, and to moving. And then there’s the unpacking once you get to the new home. I haven’t experienced this firsthand but I was a part of two big removals. One was when my grandparents from my father’s side moved to a new home when I was in my teens. It was a big upheaval because moving out with them were three families. I was part of the packing team that time. I remember packing so many clothes into big boxes. We did everything by ourselves and by the time we finished packing, we were all so exhausted nobody wanted to move out already. Another experience was a few years ago when my then employer decided to move our offices from one city to another. Again, we did it all ourselves and it was no joke.

No longer active

I remember I was once active in various blogging activities here in Manila. I even attended an iBlog event. I met with fellow bloggers, some even coming from abroad. I would travel to the province to meet up with bloggers I often interact with. I was really active back then.

I don’t know why all of a sudden, I got tired of it all. I stopped attending. I stopped seeking blogging events to attend to. It probably has to something to do with these people I avoid. The high and mighty ones who feel like they are the authority in blogging in the Philippines and whole Filipino blogging community. I was once excited to meet these people. But I no longer have the desire to do so.

I now choose what blogging events I will attend. I have also kept some blogger friends, those that I meet with from time to time. I am no longer that excited blogger who skips every time there’s a blogging event or meet-up. Wonder why I became like this. It might have something to do with that “baseless accusations” of some people. Hmm…

A beacon during emergencies

Exit Signs. These signs are very important. I kept reminding my sister who works in Makati at a high-rise building to always check where the fire exits are on their floor and check if each door works. I encountered an old building where I had an interview in the past that had faulty fire exits. I swear if there’s an emergency, you will die not from it but from exertion on opening the door leading to the stairs. I was asked to go one floor down their other office so I opted to use the fire exit instead of waiting for a long time for the elevator. Good thing I did. I found out their faulty door. I reported it to the building administration before going home.

I told them that they should check their fire exits and should post Photoluminescent Exit Signs rather than the cardboard-looking ones they had. Hopefully, they listened. The building would be a death trap if the doors were not checked. And the exit signs that I told them about? It should look like a beacon during emergencies. Unlike the ones they had.

ExitSigns.net has a wide selection of exit signs that buildings could use. They offer Self Luminous Exit Signs, Thermoplastic LED Combo with MR16 Lamp Heads, Non Electrical Exit Signs, and many more. Go to their web site now and check out their selection. I should call the building administrator and tell them about Exit Signs. I really hope they did something about their faulty fire exit doors.

Uh-oh!

UPDATE: I finally did it! After some tweaking, nervous twiddling of thumbs and a lot of praying, all my posts are now back up! Yey!

It’s already 3:31AM. I’m off to sleep. Will be back later for more updates

********

I made a major boo-boo when I was cleaning my archives early today. I accidentally deleted some posts! So what I did, I took out one of my database backups and restored it. Everything went fine. Yey! I got back the deleted posts…

But then I noticed that the posts I got are only up to March 2009. I have to get back the other posts. No problem, I exported my newer posts and will only have to import it. Then the bug hit my blog! For some reason, it won’t accept files! I have to change the maximum allowable file to be uploaded to more than 2MB but the php.ini file won’t show up. I tried uploading the modified file to a demo blog and it’s still the same.

I will put up this blog again despite some missing posts. I hope I will be able to remedy this problem within the day. And I hope no one will flag me for the missing posts

I don’t know what’s up with WordPress but it’s been acting up since the release of the newest beta version. Does it have something to do with it? Have you been experiencing weird things lately with your WordPress blogs?
