XXXX - The Meaning Of My Name

I’m still amazed with the coincidence of my name. If you’re interested you’ll have to do a little research and google it.

I’ll start with my first name - based on the name dictionary it means ‘the bearer of Christ.’ In Christian belief the Cross ( + or x ) symbolizes Christ that’s why some people abbreviate Christmas to X-mas. Next is my middle, it is a saint, it is also place somewhere in California 37°21′5″N, 122°6′2″W, it is also derived from the Spanish Lobo-y-Olla, meaning “wolves and pot”, LOL, no wonder I act this way. And my surname which means the number ten (10) in Spanish. Here’s the weird part I was born December 10. December was actually the tenth month in the lunar calendar until Pope Gregory put out his own version which is what we are using today. In the Roman numeral X stands for the number 10. The Begining and The End. The Alpha and Omega. I am a matter and an anti-matter. Intriguing right, or it’s just another one of my whimsical idea. Therefore, I am just a Concept. Ahaha, LOL, I’m delusional all of the sudden. Oh well go figure for yourself.

A Penguin Name Linux

I just finished installing the Linux operating system on my PC and I think I’m getting the hang of it. I’m starting to appreciate it. I use to hate it because the graphic interface is not appealing to me and you need to learn the Command lines. It’s like your still using DOS even if it’s GUI based you still need to run or install an application using a terminal console using the command lines. I’m using Fedora 6 Linux and there were lots of improvement with regards to GUI. It also have an Add/Remove Package Manager, similar to Windows Add Remove Program/Component. Setting up the network and file system is more easier to configure than it’s previous versions. I’m liking it little by little.

I was forced to learn Linux because of the project were doing. I was assigned to install and configure a CVS server but I know nothing much about Linux environent. And really hated the command lines. But I need to learn it for my job.Anyway, I made the CVS server run but I had trouble with the authentication at least I’m going somewhere. It was a challenging and learning experience for me so right now I’m kinda enjoy learning and mastering Linux System administration.

Linux is good for business computing, it’s got lots of business tools like OpenOffice.org. It aslo has an entertainment package. I tried playing my music with some of the GNU audio programs, and it works fine for my ears. I haven’t tried the video players yet. This is also the ideal system for system developers but I’m not much interested in system development, those are for the hardcores computer geeks. The system isn’t built for gamers though, that’s the only drawback. The best thing about Linux is that it’s FREE. Hehehe. Call me a cheapskate but it’s a better alternative operating system for PC clones. I’m not complaining anymore about Linux, I have seen the light. Hehe.

Sweet Dreams

There is nothing to forget
because everything that happened
between you and me
is nothing more than just a dream.

I feel no pain nor sorrow
no sadness no tears
it's all a surreal part
of our hopeless fantasy

We never parted ways
we don't have to cry
because we never were
because it's all just a dream.

Sweet dreams that didn't last
that faded away in an instant
reality have awoken us
it's time to move on.

Typhoon Milenyo

Bicol was the first to feel the onslaught of Milenyo. The Bicolanos has just been recovering from the threat of volcanic eruption of Mount Mayon but it was Milenyo that hammered away at the landscape of the Bicol region destroying everything in its path. Milenyo also ravaged the provinces of Quezon, Batangas, Laguna, Cavite. Nothing was spared from its wrath not even Metro Manila, leaving a path of destruction. Milenyo brought half of the Luzon island back to the dark ages. Half of the Luzon power grid have no electrity because a number of the power transmission tower lines were toppled down due to the powerful winds. Roofs were flown away, trees were uprooted from the ground and the concrete they stood with. Some billboards supported by steel frames fell down and destroyed nearby structures. Everyone was helpless, nothing else can be done but watch the fury of the storm thru the window and listen to its howl as everyone wait for Milenyo to pass away.

The aftermath was chaotic. The once illustrious cityscape of Metro Manila has been turned into like warn torn cities. Along the highways you can see a long line of fallen trees. Sadly, some of them are elders that stood for many years. Many are in anguish because of their losses. The homes and properties that was destroyed and the lives that was lost. They cannot be angry with nature. All they can do is accept their fate. Some have turned their ire onto other men. To the men of greed who erected ubiquitous monstrous symbols of their power. Symbols that has caused damage and have taken a number of lives. These men of greed have acquired power and wealth because many foolish men has been enticed to patronize them. How tragic it is that even a supertyphoon cannot blow away.

The only consolation we had from Milenyo is that he temporarily got rid of the duenge outbreak that has been plaguing us lately. The other good thing that happened is that he got rid one of the eyesores in the cityscape, the political billboard ads, like the one in Pasig along C-5/Bagong Ilog, you'll notice a fountain under the flyover, it was built by the city government. Back then you'll see a billboard in front of the fountain that says 'This Project was made by Pasig City Mayor Pesteng Usebiyo. Also thank you to Councilor Mandarambong, Barangay Chairmain Salumpwet' you know what I mean. You can hardly appreciate the beauty of the fountain because the big sign is blocking it. The storm had torn it away, and right now when you pass it you'll get to notice the lovely the fountain. Pasig looks much cleaner without the political billboards. I wish Milenyo had blown away all the dirty politicians with him, our lives would be much better without them. Good riddance

My Intro

Welcome my new blogsite. I still don't know what I'm gonna post here, my header is rather ironic to my personality. I'm a very forgetful person or some would call senile not because of memory deficiency but it's likely I have so many ideas popping up in my mind that's why sometimes I forgot what I'm suppose to do because my mind keeps on refreshing. Haha...I'm not blogging, I'm blabbing...hehe.

We'll see what comes up to my mind in the coming days or weeks. For now thank you for wasting your time in reading my nonsensical blog.

vous voir plus tard mes amis
