Blabberings Of A Taciturn

Last Sunday, we (my wife, my kid, my sister and my mother) went to Panabo specifically in Pantalan. We arrived there about 1 or 2 hours past noon and it was blazing hot. First, our destination was something called "White Sand", and for some reason I couldn't find white sand over there. (teehee)

Anyway, there was no place for us, the water was very far and it was very rocky. It was very inconvenient if ever we'd go for a swim. So we decided that we'd go to Pantalan.

It was a very nice place. The "beach" was literally under your feet. Stores were also served as "cottages" equipped with very loud megavision. It was a very nice party though you can barely hear yourself speaking.

When we arrived in Pantalan, my sisters-in-law were already there and my parents-in-law came a few seconds later bringing the food. We also brought some food; bihon, fruit salad, pistachio nuts, and gambas.

At around 3 or 4, when it was hot already, my wife and my sister when for a swim carrying along my kid. Minutes later, my mother and my mother-in-law followed. Bored just looking at them, I changed my shorts and when also in the water. It was knee deep at the shore and chest deep at a few hundred meters; in short it was just a shallow "beach".

Though it was shallow, there were a lot of big, sharp rocks. I got myself a few cuts.

After swimming, wading and floating in the water for about 30 to 1 hour, we returned to our table to rest and eat. After which heavy rain fell down minutes later.

While waiting for the rain to stop, they sang a few songs in the megavision, while my sister and I went for some pictorials.

When the rain stopped, we bid farewell as we rode a tricyle to the bus terminal. Finally, we arrived in Buhangin just in time for WoE. (wheheheeh, but that's another story)

Assembler. A machine level programming language. It is much difficult to learn than high level language because you are talking machine language here, thus you will be dealing with registers, bits, bytes, binary and hexadecimal values.


We had this subject way back in college. I was very excited with this subject and my heart was beating like crazy. So many questions ran into my mind, "Can I handle this subject?", "Will I be able to understand and absorb information about machine language?". It's quite different since it's not like the common English words we use during programming. This is machine language we are talking about. All those 1's and 0's.

But anyway, as I was recalling my college years. I thought that I would like to refresh my knowledge about assemblers. So I downloaded a TASM installer. Sad to say I left my notes during college at home in Koronadal. With that, I just downloaded some manuals and tutorials off the net.

Take note that I'm not going in-depth, just a mere refreshal. Now I'm ready to refresh my assembler skills. Wish me luck..^_^ Read the full story

Phew! It's been weeks since I last posted here... I guess I was busy playing Ragna. ^_^ Got me self some priest, soul linker, sniper and creator.

I was getting bored playing since I can't kill most of the MVP's and I can't find any party.

Oh well, here I am wondering what I'm suppose to do. I've put cooking aside since I have many expenses and payments to prioritize. I was also thinking of photography as a hobby, that will surely keep me busy, interested and create a lot of ideas to keep me out of boredom. But the only problem is I don't have a camera. So, currently I'm saving for a digital camera. I'm researching Canon cameras but I'm still open for other brands.

That leaves me with nothing.. Hmmm, I do scribbles and sketches occasionally. And I thought I'm going to keep this up.. I'm not really good in drawing but I'll do my best and hope I can improve it.

Here's a (somewhat) cartoony-caricature of me.. @_@ (done with The GIMP)












It's not finished yet though. I'm kind of preoccupied at work. So check it out soon if I can finish it and hopefully make it a lot better. Read the full story

I'm back with the Ragna Addiction. ^_^

It's been years since I last played Ragnarok. Back then it was a pay-to-play version, but it gets really expensive once you take it seriously. And I'm not going to spend thousands of my money just to play this game.

I had once got a copy of the offline version of Ragnarok. It was nice, I can warp here and there, I can have the best items I could never get with the online version. The only problem is I am the only one playing in the Ragna World. There's no one I can talk to. No persons to trade items with. No party while hunting bosses in Ragnarok. It was just lonely.

Then I heard that there are private servers for this game. They have increased experiences gained when fighting enemies. There are other people you can socialize with. I can also have the best items since most of the enemies drop a lot of items. Some for zeny and others for equips. The private server I'm talking about is DarkRO. They even have classes that were taken from Star Wars. @_@

Unfortunately my PC broke down and my hard drive was broken. It was years from then that I stopped playing RO.

But now, I'm back in the game. My brother had downloaded another private server of the game. This time it's MyRO. Currently I have a priest, a soul linker, a TK kid, a sniper, and an alchemist.

My favorite class in RO and in any game, online, offline or RPG is an archer and with MyRO, already transcended my hunter to be a sniper, a blitzer or falconer. It was fun.

But it couldn't get much exciting with the alchemist. Having a homunculus was great. My homun was much stronger than I am. Fast attack rate, Insanely high defence, and Insanely large health. A tanker homun. All I had to to is to sit down and watch my homun kill all the enemies. @_@

Currently, I'm trying to get it to level 99 so I can transcend to Creator. heheeh Wish me luck. Read the full story

At last, after many months of thinking and making the design for my portfolio, it is nearly finished finished. I'm not really good with designing. Hope that will change soon, it's just so difficult to come up with a design.

There's so many things that enters my mind and yet it just doesn't fit at all. Everything just doesn't fall into place. I envy those people who can easily create a design for a website or a blog. Where do they get these kinds of ideas. amf!

I'm trying to get into the trend these days. How do they start in designing? How do they know that this effect goes well with that effect and in the total layout? So many questions, so little time.

Anyway, I hope I can finish my portfolio website soon. It's been pending for almost half a year now.. hehehe

And also, I hope that I get good tasks at the office. Submitting articles is just not appropriate for an IT graduate who wants to improve his skills in web design and web development. Read the full story

After anthropologist Susan McKinley came back home from an expedition in South America, she noticed a very strange rash on her left breast. Nobody knew what it was and she quickly dismissed it believing that the sores would leave in time.

Upon her return she decided to see a doctor after she started developing intense pains. The doctor, not knowing the exact severity of the case, gave her antibiotics and special creams. As time elapsed the pain did not subside and her left breast became more inflamed and started to bleed. She decided to bandage her sores however as Susan's pain grew more intense she decided to seek help from a more certified doctor.

Dr. Lynch could not diagnose the infection and told Susan to seek the aid of one of his colleagues who specialized in dermatology whom was sadly on vacation. She waited for two weeks and finally was able to reach the dermatologist. Sadly, a life changing event was about to unfold during her appointment.

To Miss McKinley's surprise, after she removed the bandages, they found larva growing and squirming within the pores and sores of her breast. Sometimes these wicked creatures would all together simultaneously move around into different crevices. What she didn't know was that the holes were in fact, deeper than she had originally thought for these larvae were feeding off the fat, tissue, and even milk canals of her bosom. And to all of you who have read this article
