  • SOPA: Why should we vote no?


    Lex parsimoniae. Because if we vote yes, we’re doomed! On January 24 this year, the Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. I don’t think I should be worried about this, but I guess I should be because a lot of people are damned worried about this bill.

  • Oh Great! WordPress 3.3 is now here!

    Oh Great! WordPress 3.3 is now here!

    Oh well, just another WordPress upgrade before the year ends. I still haven’t updated mine because my WP admin might go to havoc as I’m using Dean J. Robinson’s super awesome Fluency plugin. I really don’t want another admin panel mayhem, just like what happened before. Good thing, after a few weeks, Dean found time to update his sleek plugin and made it compatible with WordPress 3.2!

    Now, Matt Mullenweg announced Sonny and this made me feel so excited because of its new awesome features. I have updated my other blogs to WordPress 3.3 (blogs that doesn’t use Dean’s Fluency admin plugin), and I loved the outcome! The admin panel is cleaner and sleeker, but still, I love fluency.

  • Last Song Syndrome with Demi Lovato

    Last Song Syndrome with Demi Lovato

    Demi Lovato
    I’ve been listening to 96.3 Easy Rock for the past 24 hours and I’ve listened to her song for more than 30x in the past 24 hours. I really don’t know what’s the title of this song, but after listening to it for so many times in just a single day, I just figured out the title of the song is Skyscaper by Demi Lovato.

  • SM Advantage sneaky points earning system

    SM Advantage sneaky points earning system

    I just noticed this now, that the mechanics of SM Advantage in their FAQs page is a lie. I noticed this after buying something at SM Appliance Center that is worth 200k. Suppose to be, you’ll be awarded 1 point for each 200 pesos spent. You may refer to the screenshot below:

    smadvantage-faqs

    So I should receive around 1000 points, for a 200k php spent, right? To my surprise, I was only awarded half of it. I received 500 points for a 200,000-peso purchase. I then checked my other purchases and found out that SM actually awards 1 point for every 200 pesos spent, except for SM Appliance Center, SM Supermarket, Hypermarket, Our Home, and Watsons which is 1 point every P400 pesos spent.

    Lesson Learned: Don’t believe what you see in SM’s advertisements and what they wrote in their FAQs page. They are sneaky big bastards.

    UPDATE: SM seems to have updated their FAQs page. We can now see that we only earn 1 point for 400 pesos spent in selected stores:

  • So what will happen to Dr. Walter White?

    So what will happen to Dr. Walter White?


    Oh time runs so fast and it’s already October. Last month, I’ve been hooked on this American TV series called Breaking Bad. At first, I thought it wasn’t that interesting, but after watching episode one of season one, I can’t stop watching the next episode after it, and the next episode after it, and the next, and the next, and the next one! Whew! Breaking Bad is truly a thrilling and worthy-of-praise TV series.

  • pRO New Chaos New IP: 202.57.117.45


    If you’re an openkore user and an avid pRO player, then you’ve noticed that you can’t connect to the server right after yesterday’s server maintenance. It’s because that the New Chaos server changed its IP from 202.57.118.232 to 202.57.117.45. You need to update your servers.txt inside your tables folder in order for you to connect your openkore bot again to the Philippine Ragnarok Online New Chaos server.
