There were times I just couldn't stand the stress of being in front of my dear lappie, typing and surfing the Web all day finding solutions to my dev problems. I mean, how can you survive staring at that Notepad++ window seeing those eye-straining lines of colour-coded code depicted in oh-so-boring Courier New . Like, can we just change the font to a more legible one or put some colourful character to it as a background? Or at those times when you were desperately looking for a decent WiFi connection around the city for you to download the latest IDE release, the latest XAMPP package, or the recent Ubuntu Linux version, wasn't it painstakingly done? That 800 MB installer through BitTorrent won't cut into your mobile broadband stick's data cap. What a shame. Or fixing the problem with your slow, outdated computer, making stress of repairable defects. The headphone jack is loose, the LCD screen border just cracked, you hardly press the Return key.

Dear friends, I hope you were not waiting too much for my latest post. I've been too sickly lately because of LBM (loose bowel movement), headaches, and some fever. Today, I still have to take my medications to address my sickness even here in UP Mindanao. I wasn't allowed to go back in UP Min last Monday because of it. I pray that this would go away immediately; I just can't concentrate a lot if my abdominal pains are just too frequent. ~*~ 71% How Addicted to Blogging Are You? I was really shocked after taking the online quiz and posting this widget. Maybe I need a dose of 'medicine' to alleviate my 'addiction' to blogging. Ate Tina ...) ~*~ I still have to study for the exams and quizzes that will come by in the following days: MST3, MATH17, MST1, SSP2...

Dear friends, May I would like to help me in praying for my mother, Jessica H. Porio, in her safe recovery from Dengue Fever. She has been hospitalised yesterday due to complications of this illness. If you would like to share prayers, please give me a POST FEEDBACK(Comment), and NOT in the CBox. I would like to make these prayer as thoughtful as possible. Please help us in surviving this challenge. ~*~ It's another day here in UP Mindanao. Tomorrow is the MATH17 4th Long Exam. I still have to work with the problem set our instructor gave us. Also, I still have to work with my SSP subjects. In SSP2, I still haven't outlined my report to produce visual aids and get acquainted with my report. In SSP4, I must prepare for the next Long Exam this September. ~*~ I had my Student Routine Interview a while ago in the Office of Student Affairs. I was being interviewed by Ma'am Pamela Flores. We got into experiences while in UP to very sensitive personal issues, in which ...

Dear friends, Madayaw! It's another great week in UP Mindanao. Over the weekend, I got struck with high fever. My whole body was really painful. Headaches were frequent. That time was quite difficult for me. However, just last Sunday, I fully recovered from the illness. Thank God. ~*~ Also, by the weekend was ender of the ever colourful Kadayawan sa Dabaw festivities. Saturday was the Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan street dancing competition; Sunday was the Floral Float Parade. Nothing compares to Davao talaga when the "Festival of Festivals" is on. Ate Tina was so happy by her experience and she blogged a lot of her experiences during the festivities. Sana magawa ko ito next year. ~*~ It think that's about it. Bye for now. KENNETH
