I'm currently working on several blog sites right now. Blogspot, Wordpress, and now Tumblr.. having no background in digital design and web churvah, I'd have to rely on existing templates and themes.
I'm more familiar with Blogspot since I've been using it for a long time and have created and maintained blogs for other people using blogspot.
Wordpress seems to be more popular with other bloggers and I've heard of it's flexibility but I have no idea how that's done. I only keep one because it gets throught the office firewall. Hehehe..
Now I'm experimenting with Tumblr.. I only started today and I can see it's goinf to be fun playing with it. My internet connection at home sucks. 2mbps feels like working on a pentium I compared to the office's whopping 6mbps.
So, how can I make tumblr look a bit like my blogspot account. vdcaluya.blogspot.com with a sidebar for links and widgets? Any tips for an amateur newbie?

I miss going to work... (plastic!) hehe..
I haven't been absent from work for a very long time. I kinda got used to it, actually. So getting sick missing work for 3 days made me feel kinda bad. Was it my fault I got skipped meals? Was it my fault that I drink water directly from the tap? Was it my fault I take cold baths in the middle of the night? Was it my fault that I ate beef stew from questionable origin? Was it? Was it?! I know you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but the last three days was probably not the best way to start off the year. I was vomiting, having LBM, and abdominal pain which hurt so much and made me wish that I could just rip my insides.
I'm fine now. Thanks to the people who visited and donated relief goods like diatabs and such. hehe..
Staying idle at home for 3 days made me realize how busy I've been. It felt great. It wasn't just a physical healing, I was also an emotional, spiritual, holistic recovery. But I still missed work a bit... Just a bit.. Afterall there's a great feeling that comes after you fix a customer's Bluescreen of Death issue and the customer's hearty thanks that comes after you saved all the family photos they've taken last christmas. Aww...
So did I miss going to work? Hmmm... For that reason, maybe just a bit.. Ehehe.

Unlimited Blade Works (Movie) -update!
So I just finished Fate/Stay Night game yesterday. I wouldn't have finished it if hadn't I gone sick and got stuck at home for 2 days. FSN would probably be the first and last clickathon game I would play in my lifetime. I felt great finishing the game and knowing the entire story but I swear, never again!
Anyway, my favorite scenario in the game which is Unlimited Blade Works would be showing this month in Japan cinemas. I'd have to wait for a few more months for a DVD rip and people willing to sub it before I get to watch it though, but it thrills me all the same.
Here's the newest trailer:

HANDBOOK 2010
My first post for 2010! Ah, blogging... It's a tougher job than I thought. I admire those people who can blog everyday inspite of their busy lifestyle. Kudos to you bloggers out there who update their blogs daily!
Anyway, one of my newyear's resolution is to have a more positive outlook in life than I did 2009. So I want to share the following which my boss sent to my email yesterday. Very nice.
HANDBOOK 2010
Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2009.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.
Personality:
11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don't overdo. Keep your limits.
14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake.
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Society:
25. Call your family often.
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything.
28. Spend time w/ people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch..
Life:
32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
34. GOD heals everything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
39. Your Inner most is always happy.

New Moon
Last monday I watched New Moon with my wife. I wasn't expecting much from it, it's good thing I didn't. Like most of books that I've read that gets turned into a movie, New Moon wasn't any different. The movie lacked excitement and drama. So why did I still watch it? Well being a twilight fan, I couldn't not watch it even thought I knew it wouldn't be very nice.
The last parts of the movie was nice though when Jacob and Edward meet again, this time as a Vampire and a Quileute Werewolf. It was nice that they've added that part and that they ended the movie with "Marry Me." Oops.. Sori for the spoiler, if ever that was one.
For me the movie was just so-so. For my wife, the movie was awesome. It turns out that NEW MOON is one of the most talked about movie for college girls these days. She was proud to be one of the first in her class to get to watch it.
SM fairview had 5 Cinemas dedicated to NEW MOON and it's one time viewing only. We got to watch the earliest slot and there wasn't that much people at all. Probably just a dozen or so. But after the movie on our way out, the people in-line outside reminded me of the last weeks of registration for the COMELEC. I was like, "WOW!" All this for NEW MOON? And on a monday morning?!
So what did of think of the movie? Any violent reactions?. All this for NEW MOON? And on a monday morning?!

Anime Festival Asia 2009
Anime Festival Asia 2009
The biggest gathering of anime enthusiasts happened last weekend in Singapore.
Some of the popular names in the Anime commmunity were there. May'n, the singing voice of Sheryl Nome in Macross Frontier, Yoshiki Fuyuki the voice of Nekki Basara in Macross 7 also the guy who sung the OP theme for Busou Renkin. There were also the K-On girls. Danny Choo, the most popular japanese lifestyle blogger whose blog is visited by over 2 million people daily from around the world. And ofcourse there's Alodia and her sister Ashley who competed for the Philippine Cosplay team in the AFA'09 Cosplay Competition. One of the competition's judge was Kaname, who I just recently found out was a very popular cosplayer in Japan. And I can't believe I wasn't there! I thought seeing Alodia and Hard Gay back in Shizen Orchestra was so cool. But knowing these personalities were all together in the same event makes me fell sad that I couldn't get to go. Well, Singapore is so, so far away. Probably in a few years I'll get to attend but i'm not sure It'll be as exciting as this year. Afterall, it's only this time around that the Philippines "cosplay queen" Alodia, gets to compete for our country. We could've won. I mean the winning team wasn't all that great either.
