Invictus is latin for “unconquered”

Invictus by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate;

I am the captain of my soul.

Someday, I will get myself a miniature Shar Pei pup and name her Shushu!

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”- Matthew 5:11-12 (NIV)

This spreadsheet  http://spreadsheets.google.com/lv?key=tBMVeBvbdAtYRaRB6ErFWnA&toomany=true in google docs will tell you where and how you can help victims of the recent typhoon.  I believe this sheet can be updated by anyone, so if you would like to add anything please do so, but please read the guidelines first.

A true form of “bayanihan” online.  Thanks to whoever put this up!

I love this bag organizer I got from Beabi in Greenbelt 5.  They even have lotion, shampoo, cologne, or whatever containers just perfect for travelling!

I just got packed for HK, and here’s what the organizer looks like.

PS

I wish Beabi had a website

“You must provide a feed uri
Error 400″

After setting up the client’s feedburner account and WordPress plugin I would get the above error message whenever I clicked on the RSS button. I did not see a clear solution after looking it up in Google, but have taken bits and pieces of advice from several pages.

How I fixed it:

1.  I noticed that in my plugin’s configuration, a space has been added infront of my feed’s URL so it looked something like this ->

http://feeds.feedburner.com/_blogsite/XxXx

I placed an underscore where the empty space is supposed to be.  So I quickly deleted the blank space, and saved my configuration settings.  This time, the Error page didn’t show up but I wasn’t properly redirected to my Feedburner page.  So I did No. 2.

2.  Sometimes, it helps to read everything on your plugin screen.  You know how sometimes we tend to ignore all those wordy details?  Well, after thinking of another way to fix the problem and staring blankly at my screen, I noticed this line in my plugin’s configuration window : Note that your feeds may not appear to redirect to Feedburner until you add a new post.

DUH.

So I went ahead and added a new post and VOILA, that solved all of my problems and I got redirected to my Feedburner page.  Yay!

My dear friend Juan Gadi, my cousin Rica Villanueva, and their crew have a weekly feeding program at SIR Elementary School in Matina Davao City. It is one of the top 5 schools with the most undernourished students. They call it T.G.I.F. which stands for Thank God It’s Feeding Day. I’m lucky to have been home to get the chance to witness and be part of it.
