WordCamp Philippines 2009

Posted on September 22, 2009 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

WordCamp Philippines  2009 was  a mixture of different resource speakers who gave interesting talks. Congratulations to the organizers. Woot, woot!

Beau Lebens represented WordPress. Beau’s presentation can be read here.

Markku Seguerra presented WordPress in the wild with topics about deployment,  performance, optimization and security.

I enjoyed Danny Arao’s lecture on being responsible bloggers.

I guess a lot of  bloggers need to be reminded that not because they have the freedom to express their opinions mean that need not practice restraint. And tact. ‘Nuff said.

Seth Bindernagel spoke about the localization of Mozilla. This is Seth’s presentation as seen in Scribd. Translation in Filipino?  Hmmm…

Jeff of VisitSagada.com talked about writing and blogging and yes, it is advisable to “not burn bridges and be nice”. Positivity rules.

Gail Villanueva (her presentation is here) and Karla Redor talked about things tags, CMS,  plugins, custom field, and the like. (Pass the tissue please, am having a nosebleed, hehe)

Mommy Bloggers

Posted on September 15, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

When fellow mommy bloggers get together expect a lot of topics to be covered.

We sure have an opinion or two on varied topics like child care, schooling, discipline, health care, product reviews and even life insurance leads. Oh yeah, have I mention showbiz talk too? (rolls eyes, lol!)

This friendship  with fellow mommy bloggers though has taken a step further.

How so? Because we do not only get together to have dinners or lunches or go to blog events, we also write about about our experiences especially since we know we are able to help and learn from other moms like us.

Blogging surely has come a long way and yes, we attest to the fact that “Motherhood is a journey best traveled with friends”

Ang Pagtatapos, Bow!

Posted on May 14, 2009 by greenbucks| 28 Comments

Isang malaking karangalan ang makapagtapos sa isang lebel ng pag-aaral, ito man ay preschool, mababang paaralan, mataas na paaralan, kolehiyo o graduate school. It is a great honor to finish a level of schooling, be it preschool, elementary school, high school or graduate school.

Pero ang aking ipinagtataka ay ang kalabisan ng ilang mga paaralan sa lebel ng pag-aaral ng mga bata. Paano ba naman, yung iba, kapag nagtapos ng Prep sa preschool, kung hindi ika-dalawang taon ng nag-aral (Kinder at Prep), ito ay ikatlong taon kaya (Nursery, Kinder at Prep) o kaya, ito ay ika-apat na taon na niyang pag-aaral (Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Kinder at Prep). One thing that really baffles me is that schools want to earn so much that by the time a student finishes preschool, he or she has already been studying for what, 2, 3 or 4 years already?

Tulay Para sa Kaunlaran

Posted on April 30, 2009 by greenbucks| 11 Comments

Meron kong tulay dito at dito, ang tulay na nagdadala sa akin palapit sa tahanan ng aking mga magulang. Parehong tulay it pero magkaiba ang perspective sa pagkakakuha at interpretasyon 🙂 I have two different perspectives and interpretations of the same bridge which brings me closer to home in the two links I have made.

Ang tulay sa ibaba ay isa sa mga bagong gawang tulay. Ito ay bago, malinis pa at may nakasulat na GMA SCARES, este, CARES pala  na hindi ko na isinama sa larawan. The bridge in the photo below is an almost newly-built bridge. This is new, its clean and has GMA SCARES, errr, CARES written on it.

Bakit nga may bagong tulay dito? Hindi pa naman mukhang sira ang dating tulay, sa katunayan, ang bagsik ng Pinatubo (nandun sa cluster ng mga bundok) at mga lindol ay nakayanan nito. Hindi kasi nahukay ang mga buhangin kaya ang tubig sa ilog ay nawala at nagmukhang disyerto mula sa buhanging galing sa lahar.

Imbes na hukayin, nagtayo na lang ng bagong tulay. Galing no?

Ano nga ang sabi ng mga pulitiko?

“Kapag ako ay iboboto ninyo ipagagawa ko ang mga kalsada. Kahit walang mga ilog, magpapatayo tayo ng mga tulay!”

Yan po ang tulay ng kaunlaran.

Bow.
