Does the Chat work for MAC users?



~Net

Ching: I wish I took a picture of my sunglasses when I was down in L.A. Jeff has the digital camera. I only borrowed it from him when I had my birthday barbeque a couple of weeks ago. BTW, Eloi and Jhoy have already signed in our SMEAGHE blog.

PIA: Nice sunglasses! I think I would like to see the real thing, though.. You should take a picture with your digital camera. =)

ching, i'm in... hope to chat with you later

Chat? Now I can completely rid myself of AOL then. Free chat on Golden Sushi? What about some SAKI too? So, when does the chat room begin? Gosh I am so excited I think im gonna Pee! Ops, Note to self dont over express yourself on blog. Someone might get offended. Anyway, do let me know when the chat session will be.



(_)_) ~Net

Ching: I finally figured out what was going on with the chat. I am in and I can't wait to chat with you guys. Let me know when you're online okay! I think I also figured out how to use the web ftp thingy. I will ask you more questions about it later. For the mean time check out my new Prada sunglasses. Jeff gave it to me as a birthday present. I posted a picture in my blog.

Thanks Ching for making me feel better... the past two days were like hell. You know what i'm talkin about. I'm so thankful that we were able to talk again... its been years since we last talked about real personal stuff. There are times that im longing for someone to talk to, someone to confide my emotions, someone i can count on, or someone i can just laugh with... i miss having a best friend and all those longings were actually gone just few hours ago. I actually felt like you were just here...

Sheryll!! I can see you! I was in the room at the same time as you are. I kept typing messages, but you did not reply. I'm worried that the chat might not be working properly... GRR!



P.S. I can't text you because our cellphone service is nationwide only (employee rate plan) and I cannot dial internationally. =(

I'm in... I'm in!!!!


Ching, I'm in the chat room.... hope to see you there. If you're online anytime between 10am to 5pm (philippine time) and i'm not in the room... kindly txt me 63-918-3231095 so i can go access the net again. Otherwise, I'll be back in the room on May 2 (tomorrow is a Holiday) 9am to 5pm.

GLEE: You won't have to download or install anything to your computer.. Just click on the link.



CHAT -- as far as the username and password; if you have not been there yet you will need to register a name for the chat. Click on the "register here" link. After you sign up, you should be good to go. You'll use the same username and password to login to the chat every time. I'm hoping that we can all chat as a group one day -- see if the thing really works.



SHE: You use the username and password that I emailed to you for the FTP. If you deleted it, I can email it to you again. Now you can upload your pictures through the web! Cool, huh?



APRIL: I have not set you up with webspace yet; but if you want to have your own space to FTP to just let me know and I will set it up.

Ching, I'm tearing my hair! I cannot keep up with all this techno stuff. As you can see I'm neglecting my blog simply cuz I am an ignorant fool when it comes to HTML.


Chat? Is that another thing that I have to download to my laptop just to watch it crash? sarcasm


Looks like Glee is going to need a new computer. Thank gawd it can be considered a business expense or a donation for my nonprofit. :)

gLee, iF u drink, pretend iM buying u sum bacardi siLver rite now....

ching, same prob with sheryLL. ftp thingy...

i luv mouLin rouGe, just hated nicoLe kidman. she doesNt impress me @aLL. soRRie, u guys.

CHING: How can I join the webchat and the ftp thing? I tried to click them but they're both askin for username and password. What should I do, then? Anyways, I'm online from 9am to 5pm Phil. time. Inform me when you're online too so we can try the webchat.

That's very impressive, Daf! Thankfully, I've got an Acrobat Reader.. Click here to see the screen shoot!



By the way, has anyone tried the FTP and WEBCHAT yet? Just curious.. We should schedule a group chat sometime to see if it really works. =)

Ching, I read a Moulin Rouge review that said the movie was proof that even "strange, enchanted boys" (i.e., Ewen McGregor, referring to his theme song) want to nail Nicole Kidman...

If you're so inclined, go to GIA and search on "Jay" - you'll get one hit. There's supposed to be a sample pdf, but I couldn't see it - might need a newer Acrobat Reader.

Daf (quitting his church gig for now, because "no man can serve two masters" - I'll be back after I have my BMus in Church Music)

We still love ya, Glee. Can we call you in your cave, send you some chicken soup, or something? Friends may not get you through times of no lovers all that well, but it beats being friendless too.

Daf

Hi, you guys! I don't know where I left off. I hardly watch tv or movies lately. I'm too busy with other commitments that any travelling that is not related to massage therapy or spoken word and/or arts events are just out of the question.


As you can tell, I'm beat. Plum exhuasted. I've been juggling my therapeutic massage practice, organizing for a huge poetry and arts festival, and founding Vallejo Phoenix Rising--a touring spoken word group that will promote the local arts organizations and raise funds for publications and other performance poetry productions.


Bad news. My girlfriend dumped me. It was no surprise. It was my fault. The distance. The fact that our parents would totally oppose our relationship. The fact that I'm bound in Vallejo cuz the finances are not picking up. Oh, and I cheated on her. [hisssss, hisss, BOOOO] Yeah, I feel like shit. I'm going to crawl into a cave and die now...

APRIL: Friday Five is at fridayfive.org..



DAF: I've seen all of the movies that you listed except for Moulin Rouge, which for some reason or other Brian has no desire to watch. I, on the other hand, am a major Nicole Kidman fan. I'm anxious to see it. Perhaps I'll be able to convince Brian to rent it one day. We've got that rent-one-get-one-free deal at Hollywood Videos through the 15th of May, anyhow. I loved Bridget Jones Diary (very funny) and Rock Star (nostalgic).. Ice Age was okay. I didn't think it was nearly as good as Shrek. Tailor of Panama was alright. It put Brian to sleep. I actually stayed awake through the whole thing, but despite the merits of the story the movie had slowed down considerably at certain parts. I didn't find it as enjoyable as other similar Pierce Brosnan (spelling?) movies.



By the way, in the process of installing chat, I came across a free web upload utility so I'm pleased to announce that Golden Sushi now boasts web upload compatibility! Hip! Hip! Hurrah! You won't need not install WS_FTP or CuteFTP.. You just need to click on the link and voila! Instant upload capability! Whooppee!

Here's what we saw lately - Bridget Jones (excellent!!!), Moulin Rouge (mostly fun - really liked the DVD's "you pick the view" feature on the extra dance bits), Rock Star (not as bad as it was supposed to be, and the new tunes were pretty good if you like hair metal), The Tailor of Panama (disappointing - really liked the book), and Ice Age (at the theater - fun mostly).

Anyone else?

Daf

where's the friday five??

i think the RoCK is ok...he looks gud & aLL, but movie roLes must b limited for him. i am waiting for star wars and spiderman.

CHAT IS COMING! Yippee! If I enable this feature, you can thank Tim Morgan..

By the way, The Scorpion King sucked!  If you must see it, wait for the DVD/VIDEO release.  The imagery was good, but the dialogue sucked.  It was like they didn't even try.  Brian says that had to keep the lines simple of the The Rock.  LOL!

Sheryll wanted to post this picture of her two little boys, Steffano and Cameron.  The older one (Steffano, right) is my inaanak, who I owe mucho mucho gifts big time.



By the way, She, I changed my mind..  Instead of uploading it to the Golden Sushi site like I said in the email, I uploaded it to your space.  The actual URL of the picture is http://www.goldensushi.net/~she/nokncam.jpg.  Once you get your FTP program installed, you can upload more pictures to your personal space and link to them in the same manner.



DAF, your "crooked nose" post makes me think of Owen Wilson (of Shanghai Noon, Zoolander, Behind Enemy Lines fame).  It's his signature look!



My biggest abnormality is my greenish mole on my right arm.  It's huge!  I think it's gotten bigger as I've grown older.  Thankfully, it's not cancerous!

Hey! I just got paid!




woohoo!!!



(_)_)~Net

Hmm.

1 - huge belly on an otherwise skinny frame - yuck! Anyone remember the Timbertoes from Children's Highlights? That's me.

2 - I had an extra bone in each foot. Blocked my arch, had it removed when I was 13. End of my football career, except that I already told you how I was built. The career would have gone away anyhow.

3 - crooked nose - or maybe asymmetrical is a better word. More syllables anyhow. It's just not centered right on my face.

4 - see the RABBIT BLOG. Then read the URL. the shame, the shame... Nice blog, though.

Daf (who has more, but he's really bumming himself out).

Im starting to get a pot belly.. BURRRRP! oh yeah and my second toe is also longer than my big toe. Oh Oh and I can also curl my tongue. And if you pull my finger.... I fart.



(_)_) ~Net

Does having a big belly count as abnormal? :) I look like I have a beer belly and it sucks coz I know that I won't fit my bridesmaid dress for Ching's wedding :) Oh yeah, and I think I have some very high cheek bones. I don't look very good with tons of blush because I look like a clown. :)

CHING: How can I post pictures here in the blogger?

I sent out invites for www.alumni.net It's a site for everyone to get in touch with their former classmates all over the world. pls check it out coz I've already got an email from one of my former classmates back in college. I registered in Assumption College and Saint Francis, too. Hope to see your names there. You can also view lists of students, faculty or employee in other schools so if you've been hunting a person, you might see the name there then you may send a message to him through that site, just click on the school where that person went to.

Sheryll: Don't worry, I will email Cel and tell her to just look for a job muna. I really can't guarantee if her kuya and I will come back this summer. I'm still disappointed but we're all hoping that she can actually come here with her parents by next year. Her family is hoping that they can still petition her. Anyhoo, I might give her a call when I visit Jeff this weekend. I still need to buy a phone card.



Ching: To my dearest webmaster thanks for helping me out once again with my blog! I am still looking for a DDR game and dance pad for you! :) Hang in there!

JHAYNE: You said you would call me again? Pls call me when you get the chance, okay?

Brian and I are going to see The Scorpion King this afternoon.  I'm not a fan of The Rock, but I love the series.  We've seen The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, it's only natural that we should see The Scorpion King.  I'll let you know what I think of it later tonight.



Speaking of movies, have you all seen Original Sin?  If not, you should.  It's very sexy.

I've justified everything, Pia.  All of your entries will automatically be justified.  Let me know if there is anything else that I can do.



SHERYL, you will need to download and install the FTP program first because that is the only way that you will be able to access the FTP site.  Once you've installed the FTP program, you just need to plug in the information that I have given you and then you can upload to your heart's content.



Wow!  70,000 PHP just for Nursery?  I'm afraid to ask how much grade school and high school tuition are..  Talk about inflation?!  Education didn't cost that much when we were growing up.  At least, I didn't think so.

70,000 wow thats like going to a city college for 6 months. ~Net

CHING: What will I do first? I cannot access the URL. Should I download the FTP program first... please help me!
By the way, Nokee will be studying here this coming school year and the tuition fee for Nursery is PHP70,000.




PIA: If you are already sure that you and Jeff arent comin home this July. I suggest you tell Cel coz she doesn't want to look for a stable job yet. She wants to get a job to save money then resign when you get here. She has a lot of plans already. I'm dissapointed but its okay, though. You can come home anytime you like this year but my best friend's wedding is only once. You better opt to attend Ching's wedding than come home. I envy the people who will witness Ching's wedding. That is gonna be the happiest day of her life and I am hoping I can be a part of it.

Ching: Can you change the settings in my blog so that all my post will automatically be written justified? Is it also possible to justify the description on the side (where my short self-description goes)? Sorry if I sounded so anal about this. I just wanted everything to be uniform. Thanks again! :)



Sheryll: Nope, I am not sure anymore if I will be going back there in July. Jeff will be teaching summer school and Ching's wedding is in the beginning of August. I may not have enough time to travel back. My whole family is planning a big reunion in the beginnning of August which I may not be able to attend to as well. It is a bummer I know but since I am only working part-time, I can't afford to pay for all my travel plans. Nothing is definite yet but, I will keep you guys informed if ever Jeff and I decide to go back.

By the way, I went to the SIS website.  Their facilities are impressive.  How much tuition?

SHERYL: Your account is ready. Your URL is http://www.goldensushi.net/~she and you should receive your FTP info in your mail shortly.



Recommended FTP programs:

CuteFTP

WS FTP LE



You will need to install an FTP program (if your computer does not have one already) in order to access your space. Let me know if you need any help.

I heard that on the 23rd of this month, Yahoo mail will no longer be free so pls erase my yahoo add in your address book and change it to sheryll@notme.com.

CHING: Can you set me up in golden sushi like Pia's. Just inform me for the steps I need to take.




PIA: Is it true that u're coming home on July? I'm excited. I can't wait to see you!!!! By the way, Oliver stays in Moonwalk and he goes to the same church that you go to. I'll ask him when I see him.




JENG: Thanks soooo much for the money u sent for Cameron. It really means a lot to us. Cel brought it to our house last Saturday. I just couldnt txt u coz I ran out of load. Pls keep in touch and call me again when you have the chance.

Our friend Karen had not yet seen Episodes IV, V, VI of the Star Wars series so we had a Star Wars movie marathon last night.  Man was I sleepy!  I ended up sleeping through parts of my favorite Episode (VI)..  Bummer!  We're going to watch Episode I again soon -- all in preparation for the movie release of Episode II.  Can you feel the excitement yet?

PIA: You can justify your posts manually by using the ALIGN attribute. Example:



<DIV ALIGN="justify">       </DIV>

<P ALIGN="justify">       </P>



Or, if you want it justified automatically I can set it in the template (less typing for you). Let me know which way you want to do it.

Meanwhile, Net has endured being a chauffer for Dot and her visitors from Buffalo. (more to come).



(_)_) ~~Net

Ching: Thanks for all the help. Don't worry I will keep your advice in mind whenever I post some pictures up in my blog. BTW, I was just wondering if there is any way keep my blog posts justified. I thought it would look more uniform and pleasant if my post were all aligned.

PIA: If you have the pictures one on top of the other (as you do on your blog), it looks nicer when the widths are the same. If you have the pictures along a horizontal line, it looks nicer when the heights are uniform. Here's the lazy way to achieve this:



If the pictures are of different sizes, you can just specify the width (or height) and the browser will do the rest.



It's actually better if you specify both sizes, but if you don't specify the sizes correctly you end up paying the price in picture quality. At any rate, when you resize your pictures in a photo editor, keep them under 500 pixels.

Sheryll: I was checking out your guestbook from your SIS Chinese website and I recognized one of the names. I think that guy Oliver Alvarez went to the same church with me when I was younger. If I am not mistaken I think he lives somewhere in Moonwalk close to our church. Ask him if he knows my uncle, Onie Hernaez (Leslie's dad). I took the liberty to check out the teacher's profile and I remembered his face. Oh well, what a small world. I just thought I'd tell you. :)

Ching: Thanks for fixing the pictures for me. So does it mean that I don't have to specify the height of the pictures as long as I have the border and the width are uniform in size?

PIA: I fixed the pictures that you posted in your blog so that they are uniform in width (also, so it's not blurry due to the rescaling). Check it out, you'll see the difference.

NET: It's done. Your URL will be http://www.goldensushi.net/~np (for Net Panday or No Problem -- he he). Check your email for the FTP info.



SHE: I'm still working on web upload capability. I'm looking for a cheap (or free, even better) script that is secure and easy to install. At this time I have not found any so you will need to use an FTP program like WS_FTP or CuteFTP.

CHING: I'm really sorry for the mess. I found out that i kept on forgetting the unquote thing. I've learned my lesson, though. I should be chechin the HTML tag first before hittin post n publish.



Visitors signin in wait for my approval before the guestbook publishes it. Thanks for signing, i'll be postin it after I blog. Can u pls explain more about the golden sushi thing. Is that a free space for a site? or just an add-on to my site like the guestbook? My problem is, I don't have a landline so I can't access the net at home. I do it here in school but in a network so the ftp program won't work. Only the MIS people know the IP address. Is there any other way I can upload it? via site for example?

DOH! So sorry about the quote thingy. Some of us Post HTML programmers rarely get to use text language anymore. CHING email me the URL for GoldenSushi's FTP site. I am cancelling my account with AOL and I have to upload all the stuff I linked to this blog. Dot's friends from Buffalo are coming to NYC this weekend. Looks like I am the chauffer for most of the day on Friday. I hope they tip well =). Happy FRIDAY!

(_)_) NET


PS. My email for now is netpanday@yahoo.com.

SHE: I wasn't sure what was going on with the email but I think I solved the problem. Just check out my blog because I posted some pictures up as Jane requested. If I am not mistaken, I think Jeng already forwarded you some of the other pictures that I intended to send you. It should all be the same pictures. It all came from Jeff's digital camera. Next week, Jane and Jhoi will be hanging out with me for my birthday so, I should be taking more pictures then.



CHING: Thanks for the advice regarding the pictures. I wasn't sure how to measure it by pixels. I'll try my best to post smaller images. What do you think of the ones I posted in my blog?

SHE: I signed your guestbook, but my post would not show up! It's a lovely site, BTW. You did an awesome job! Let me know if you want free space on GOLDEN SUSHI and I will set you up a username and password (of your choice) just like Pia. That way you won't have to deal with the GeoCities Ad Square anymore. The only downside is you will need to download an FTP program to upload to your space. The space is available for you if you want it. Just let me know.

IMPORTANT NOTE: (I think NET learned this the hard way..) When adding a link please remember to include the closing quote ( " ) because if you forget to close the quote, the computer thinks that everything that follows after is part of the link -- thus messing up the EDIT link.



PIA: Concerning pictures, use your best judgement. My advice is to resize to a size that will fit the browser. About 500 by 500 pixels is a good size. If you are posting the pictures in GOLDEN SUSHI, 350 by 350 (or smaller) would be ideal. If you are posting pictures in your own blog, you might go smaller so as not to ruin the table layout.

SHE: You and NET made a bit of a mess in the blog over the last couple of days.. That's okay, though -- I think I've fixed 'em all.. If you want to delete some of the other posts that you don't like (some of them are repeats) just click on show last 25 posts. You should be able to edit (or delete, whatever you decide) them now.

PIA: It's still not there. But, I deleted most of files to have more space. I still have 3mb available space. Sorry P if i'm eatin ur time, pls ty to send them again. You may also send them to sheryll@notme.com Thanks so much for signing my guestbook. Did you like the baby pics? I know you would love them.




JHAYNE: Thanks for signing the southville's site but mine is actually in the SIS Chinese. Just click this link to lead you to my guestbook. I got the two pics that you sent. You, jhoy and P look really gorgeous! I hope I can be with you guys again. I miss all of you! Please come home for a vacation... I really can't wait to see you guys!

Sheryll: I did send the pictures at your yahoo account. Please make sure that your account can accept a big file. The email is about 450 KB in size. I just resent you the pictures again. Hopefully you'll be able to receive it. Let me know if you want me to send it to another email account of yours.



BTW, I signed your guestbook at your SIS Chinese website. I hope you saw the posting as well.

pia: thanks for the pictures. you look good with that black dress:)

sheryll: thanks for texting me back i liked the picture message you sent me. talk to cel and ask her if she got the thing already and keep me posted.

PIA: I did not rcv any pic from u. Did u send it thru sheryllcabral@yahoo.com? Thanks for checkin out my site but you forgot to sign the guestbook:( Pls do sign coz I only have 1 there, I need to show the management who will check my site that there are people who visit. I'll wait for ur email.

Jane: You're right. I only sent you a couple of pictures of you and Bong. I may have forgotten to upload the other picture we took at the reception. I have to check Jeff's digital camera.

Sheryll: I already sent you a copy of Kayla's baptismal pictures. I hope you received them already. BTW, I visited your school website. I liked the website you made for your class. I thought it you did a very good job considering the fact that you only worked on it in a day or two.



Ching: When you mean resizing the pictures, you meant resizing it through something like Adobe Photoshop, correct? All of the pictures that I uploaded to Goldensushi's FTP are resized and edited already. Just let me know what would be the ideal size that you normally use.

I'm inviting everyone to visit our school's site www.sville.edu.ph, there, you will find the site I made for the subject I teach. Check out the academics and then portfolio. If you also want to view my profile, it's under Teacher's Profile.




Please don't forget to sign my guestbook!!!

Jerry Springer invites you to his online blog. Please peruse and advise the group of your findings.
Heres what I found.

(_|_) Net

Please check out our school's site Southville International School

Please don't bother to read the first three messages that I posted. They were all mistakes and I could not edit them.




PIA, send me Kayla's pics thru sheryllcabral@yahoo.com and please let me know your sites that I can check out.

Argghhhh!!!!! I'm really losin my patience! I could not edit them anymore!!! The message really sucks! Sorry, guys!
I was trying to ask you to check out my TQM It's a project I made for the school. Teachers here are required to submit a project (whatever it may be e.g. a book, modules, etc) that would benefit the students. I thought of creating a site for Chinese subject coz that I is one thing I can make in one day. I crammed (as usual) coz I started it the day before the submission.

What is wrong with me?!!! I keep on posting trash and I could not edit them anymore! Please forgive me.




PIA:Send me Kayla's pics. My email address is sheryllcabral@yahoo.com




Please check out my TQMIt's a project that I made for the school. Teachers here are required to submit any project that would benefit the students and I thought of creating a site since i only had two days to have it done.

Sorry about that! Somethin went wrong that I could not edit my post anymore.
Anyway, Pls visit my PIA:Can you plese send the pictures of Kayla's baptismal. I really wanna see all of you esp. Jhoy. My email address is sheryllcabral@yahoo.comAnd, do you have any site that I can visit?

PIA: Can you please send me the pictures of Kayla's baptismal. I'm dying to see all of you especially jhoy. My email address is sheryllcabra@yahoo.com, AprilIs there any site that I can see the pictures... I always visit ur site linked from the smeaghetoday but there's nuthin new. Do u have a new one?




Pls visit my TQM (my project done for the school year), It's just simple coz I only had two days to finish it.

PIA: I'm glad that you are able to upload your pictures and files now.. Remember to resize the pictures before you upload them, though.. Large picture files take longer to load than smaller files and also take up more space. Less space is good. =P

Yay! Ching I was able to upload some images using the FTP program you suggested. Thanks for all your help. BTW, did you receive the email that I sent you? I forwarded some copies of Kayla's (Jhoi's baby) baptismal pictures from last Saturday. Enjoy the pictures!

Ching, I tried going to that FTP site you were talking about in your email but it didn't work. I ended up with a default plesk page. What does that mean?

heres a view of rockerfeller center from WNBC. This link updates every couple of minutes. Hit Refresh on your browser for an update.

If you look closely you can see rock center cafe. Where NET had a chance encounter with a old friend.(see blog from march).

Arrgh! I just finished my tax returns tonight. Yet another year that I wait the last minute to get it done! Not getting a lot back unlike last year. Or maybe its a government conspiracy behind it. Hmmm. Remember that rebate check we got from GWB? Yeah, thats it, thats where my tax refund went to! Waaaaah! I wish I was back in College when I could be claimed by my parents and I could get a better tax refund. (And then?) And then I could have more money for parties (And then?) And then I could go to buy more beer and get wasted drunk (And then?) Dude, youre thats starting to get annoying. (And then?)

APRIL:  Let me know if you've got an FTP program (like WS_FTP or CuteFTP) and I will email you FTP info so you can store your pictures directly on the Golden Sushi server.

FRIDAY FIVE!


1. What is your favorite restaurant and why?  Felipe's Jr. (on Harry and Rock).  It's the best Mexican food in town!  The service is great, the portions are large and the prices are reasonable.  Brian and I are regulars there.  We don't have to look at a menu and they don't have to ask what we want to order.  It's awesome!



2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to?  Japan Express.  It's cheap.  They give you lots of food.  And it's healthier than eating burgers.  (I think.)



3. What are your standards and rules for tipping?  Always tip 20% of the bill.  I learned that from Oprah.  My mom says I'll never get rich because of my tipping habits.  LOL.



4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert?  It depends on where I am.  It also depends if I'm paying or not.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.



5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant?  A virgin strawberry daiquiri.

5 things Net does daily:
1. Pinch finger with binder clip to make sure he is not having a dream

2. Paper cut digits while collating together yesterdays sales reports and payroll woes.

3. Stain tie with coffee spills from when Net spits out coffee after reading yesterdays sales reports.

4. Massively click a pen while listening to associates during daily conference calls.

5. Gain headaches trying to peel off bandaids from fingers which had papercuts.




more to come....

Monday night I closed Cardio Tan and Matt and Jude came to visit me. Well at 11:00pm we decided to lock the front doors then we went to the back dock to smoke. I locked us all out and when we tried to get back in it set off an alarm. I ended up having to wake one of my bosses' to get a key since I had locked everything inside including my cell phone and my keys. It was so scary. Now that I think about it I'm glad Matt didn't leave his keys in there or we would have been screwed, he was the one that drove me to my boss' house. Everyone at work thought it was funny including both my bosses, and the alarm ended up being the for the business next door. The whole time though I was thinking that the cops would be there by the time I had got the keys and they would have busted the glass doors already. Whew! I still cringe thinking about it.

By the way, I put Matt and Jude in our $30,000 tanning beds and ended up frying both of them. They are still burnt and bitching to this day. He! He! He!

Eloi went back home coz' they found it difficult to be on their own yet. Both of them don't have stable jobs so the income is not consistent which is har if you have consistent bills coming in.
Clay is still working in a hotel, he is on a permanent status so things are going pretty well. He has not graduated yet but he was able to produce a fake diploma through my cousin's friend. We just hope nobody in the office finds out about it.

NET:  Very funny!



SHE:  Send my condolences to Ging and her family.  Is Eloi back in town?  I thought she moved to the province or something?  How is Clay doing?  Has he graduated already?

PIA:  The picture size is fine.  It appears to be proportionate.  Just a reminder, though..  GeoCities does not allow you to link to images saved on their server.  It shows up for you because the image is already cached on your computer, but it just shows an "X" in the corner for everyone else.  Since you sent me Cel's graduation picture, I took the liberty of uploading it to your space.  I changed the image source from HTTP://WWW.GEOCITIES.COM/PIAE16/CELGRADPIX.JPG to just CELGRADPIX.JPG both here and in your personal blog.  You can upload more stuff by using an FTP program (you should already have WinFTP installed in your computer, I believe it comes standard in all Windows platforms).  If you do not like WinFTP, you can easily download CuteFTP.  It's very popular and it's readily available.  Check your email for the FTP info (ftp site, user name and password)..  I'm emailing it to you right now.

Nevermind Ching, It works now. The picture looks okay in my IE screen again. It didnt' work when I pressed the refresh button so I opened another IE window and it works yay!

Okay Ching! I don't know why the picture looks uneven. I already tweaked the width and the height to make it look better when it is posted but my efforts didn't work at all. Please edit my post again and let me know what height and width you used to post Cel's picture up. Thanks!

Welcome Jen! I am glad you're on board. Anyways people, I know I haven't blogged in a while. I've been pretty busy working on my own blog courtesy of Ching. If you wanted to check it out, you can visit this site. Once again Ching, thanks for hooking me up with the space for my blog.





Anyways, I also wanted to share Cel's graduation picture to the rest of the blog members so here it is. Congrats Cel on your long awaited graduation! We all hope that you can visit us here since you're already done with school.

Having perused the online garage sale... It gave me some ideas to put some items up for bids. Take notice of these nostalgic Haloween candy. Having been salvaged from my manhattan apartment. They still retain the goodness of trick or treating. Actually, I do believe I tried to pawn them off a year ago as Easter Candy. Whao! has it been that long? How about some cheese? This next item up for bid has been rescued for the cupboards upper deck. I was going to hand them out as noshes on the dining table when it was lost but now found! It was originally bought when ODD JOB had the items on sale. Any bids will be delightfully welcome. Some caution comes to mind. Take note that these items were left in my apartment since Sept 11. It has seen the light yet again when I moved back to Queens. I did partake on some of the cheese which is still shrink wrapped and protected with aluminum foil. Aw heck who wants this stuff anyway? I take it back.. BIDS Over!!! Stop... no more bid please! Maybe some neighborhood cats will want it.. Ill just leave it out to 'pastuer' in the nearby Park. There has to bee some hungry pigeons out there.

Vacation is over and I'm back to work!!! It's sad coz I have to leave my kids again with their yaya. I know my kids hate the idea, too. Everytime I take a bath, Nokee goes "Mommy, work ka?" If I say "no", he smiles at me. But, if I say "yes" he will answer me "No, daddy lang work. Ayaw to work ka." He's still bulol and he mixes English and Filipino in a sentence. He is actually confuse between the two languages. Me and Clay speak to them in English but their yaya and everybody else talk to them in Filipino. That is why we are so eager to enroll him for the coming school year... we want him to be with more people who would talk to him in English. We want our kids to be really good in communication.




Genevieve Amador's 28 year old-brother died few days ago. Eloi, Mhyke, Joeben and Cel went to my place to pick me up but I wasnt able to go with them coz my kids were not feeling well and I had to take care of them. I called Eloi the day after that, she told me that they had a great time with the boys (Elmer Dimayuga, Chris Caylan, Lou Natanawan, Mike Santuile and Joeben Yap). They just played billiards after going to the wake. They are planning to go out gain this coming Friday. Im really hoping things will go well at home so I can go out.

Welcome, Jen! FINALLY!

I'm in! I'm in! Mwa ha ha ha ha! Whew! Hey, Ching did you notice that I got in! Congratulate me.

Anyway, I actually got some sleep last night. Partly because I didn't call Michael. I figured if he needed something he'd call but probably not since it was Friday night and he probably went out with his buddies. I'm thinking of going to San Diego. Any comments I can get on that. I mean I don't really have a lot of free time, hell, I probably should just run to Lawrence instead. I think I'm going to Lawrence next weekend then. Man, I so need a break.

You know what they brought to my attention yesterday. Ghaison and Harley said I space out a lot. I never noticed it before but I do get distracted so easily. I can't believe I've lost my brain cells. Can you guys help me find them, please?

Well, like I said not a lot of free time here so I should go. Maybe do some homework or something. Everybody wish me luck on getting my brain cells back.

I scanned it at 170 dpi then reduced scanned image to like 33.3 percent.APRIL I think that your scanners default dpi preferences is too high. Just adjust that attribute and you can be a scanning guru. Its official, I am now a stand by wedding guest. Dot received her friend Linda's Wedding invitation and I am not on the card. The invitation didnt even say "Dorothy '-and Guest' ". Although I am not close to this Linda fellow, does she expect Dorothy go to the wedding just by herself? -More to come...
