Janette Toral is holding the Influential Bloggers Writing Project, which you can access at http://www.influentialblogger.net/2008/04/top-10-emerging-influential-blogs-in.html, and I have decided to write an entry for it. I’d written an entry before, but turns out most of the blogs existed well before July 2007, so here’s a spanking new list of blogs that have influenced me, listed [...]

Hello, all. Today I decided to commit a couple of minor changes to the site.
First of all, I want to talk about Skribit, a “blog topic suggestion application”. If you look to your right, in the blog’s sidebar, you’ll see a little widget there with the words “Any post ideas?” on top of it. That’s [...]

Carl Ocab beat me to it, but anyway.
So, if you guys haven’t noticed (or have been running your computer for days now without bothering to clear your cache), Google has silently changed its favicon. When before the uppercase “G” in “Google” was the featured letter in the favicon, now it’s the lowercase “g”.

It might seem [...]

Remember your high school teachers? Oh, those curious creatures. They were either the reason for the smiles on students’ faces or the bane of their existence. They either made your school life easier or made it a living hell.
We love our teachers. No, no, don’t try to argue with me. Trust me, you love [...]

I’ve been using Firefox since forever, and have no regrets. After all, it’s the safest, fastest, most secure and easiest to use web browser available—paid or not—plus, it’s available at absolutely no cost!
If you’re not viewing this web page on Firefox, I suggest you grab a copy of Firefox so you can enjoy a better [...]

I was checking my measly Technorati rank today and found out that Ratified.org had listed my blog in Batch Nine of their ratified list. I sadly have a 626 ratified rank, but I am confident that I will rise through the ranks. Sooner or later.
If you haven’t been ratified yet, submit your blog for ratification [...]

It’s been a wonderful 20 months in high school, and I’ve got about another 20 months to go before I hopefully receive my diploma and close this chapter of my life. However, the the closing of one chapter will inevitably be coupled with the opening of another one.
College.
I’ve been told so many things about it, [...]

If you’re a lurker of this blog (in which case, OMG!!!), you’ll notice that over the past few weeks, its theme has changed a couple of times. Today, I finally settled on Misty Look by Sadish, a fine theme used by many, many bloggers worldwide, as well as  people on self-hosted Wordpress-powered blogs.
I changed a [...]

Janette Toral is holding this project, the Influential Blogger, and I’ve been meaning to participate in it but only got around to writing this post now. Anyway, without further ado, here are my picks for the Influential Blogs, in no particular order.

Lifehacker — tips and tricks that make life a little better. I always look [...]

I hadn’t planned on writing this post, but I came across a particularly interesting paragraph in Bob Ong’s sensational ABNKKBSNPLAko?! and I thought it was important that I tell you about it. I’ll make this quick. Here we go:
Pero sino nga ba ang learning-disabled, yung mga hirap mag-aral o walang natututunan? Ano ang pinagkaiba ng [...]

Anyone who has read my about page will know that I am in high school right now. Furthermore, anyone who has gone through high school will agree that it is an exciting, if not turbulently exciting, era, where laughs never ended and pimples never stopped growing.

Well, Migs and Blogie have written their happy birthday wishes to our favorite blogging platform, and it’s time for me to do so, too.

WordPress, made possible by the incredible Matt Mullenweg and the folks over at Automattic, turns five today. Congrats, WordPress!

If you’re like me, you love finding and pouring all your time on good reads. Be it classics such as George Orwell’s 1984 or modern works like Dan Brown’s (in)famous The Da Vinci Code, I simply love immersing myself in the alternate worlds authors create within the pages of their work.
The thing is, once you’ve [...]

The few people who follow me on my Twitter account will have read that I am in Cagayan de Oro today, buying school supplies and whatnot in anticipation of the coming school year. Well, we happened to pass by an iPod retailer stall, and I was semi-drooling over an iPod Shuffle and my dad asked [...]

I’ve always considered Google Earth to be useless, albeit fun. Today I decided to download the newest version, whose features include the ability to show you where roads are.
So, I’m a big aviation fanatic. I first rode a plane in September of 2007, and was I thrilled. I have a flight simulator installed on my [...]
