I’ve been wondering for some time if I can change Ubuntu’s login sound. Not that I don’t like the tribe-ish sound. I actually snap my fingers with it sometimes. Maybe I just grew tired of it, errr, not a good phrase. XD
Of course, Google helped me with this task, and it brought me to this post.
It’s just easy! These are the steps:

I’ve been playing with codeigniter since summer and as an exercise for me, I need to make a site for my alumni association. Here are the specs:

Pure PHP programming. No javascript since I still don’t know how to do complicated things using it. XD
People, particularly friends, that I did not see for almost two weeks said that I lost weight, which is true. Before getting admitted to San Lazaro Hospital, they took my weight and in my surprise, I only weight 49 Kgs. I’m expecting it to be around 55 Kgs. Maybe the loss of appetite when I had fever for five days took effect.
Oh well, speaking of that fever, I really thought that it’s just a normal flu fever. I never thought that it will be dengue. The last time I had a fever for around a week is when I were a freshman, and the UP infirmary also took some blood but it’s negative for dengue.
Actually, I didn’t have any plans to go to the infirmary since my fever already subsided at that day, which is friday. I had the fever since monday that week. But due to an exam on that weekend, I decided to go to the University Health Center to secure a Medical Certificate for my excuse letter, since I can’t study well. My roommate, Louis, and I went there and from the moment I said that I’ve been sick for almost a week, the people there (the nurse and the doctor) told me to have my blood checked at the New Era University Hospital (?) since it may be dengue. We traveled to the said hospital, had my blood drawn, and waited for the results.

If you haven’t noticed, I love to post lyrics of songs that I like, including its music video, a cover of a YouTube artist, or sometimes, my own cover (which sucks! XD).
Some could have guessed that I made those not-so-good covers for a special someone and I can’t deny that fact. Yes, I did it for a special someone.
The past few weeks are really tough for me, not to mention the “haggard-ity” or “haggard-ness” of my commitments to my organizations and to my work. It’s been tough for me to make some decisions and actions, and to really stand with that. I can say that I’ve learned from my past mistakes. But I think it’s much tougher now.
Anyway, I really would like to thank some of my friends since elementary for supporting though you really don’t know what’s happening. I would like to thank you, sir, for listening even I just ramble things sometimes, and thanks for all the encouragements. I really appreciate it. Lastly, I would like to thank you, ^_^, for being such a cheerful person, for encouraging me to do things, for giving advices, for everything. ^_^
The first time I’ve heard this song is when my Ate and I are watching the film ‘Across the Universe’. TV Carpio sang this part, and at first I thought that she’s singing it for the boy. Then, I realized that she’s singing it for the girl because she’s a lesbian. Anyway, the song fits for people who are proposing to someone or are keeping their feelings to themselves.
Lyrics:
Yeah, I’ll tell you something.
I think you’ll understand.
When I say that something,
I want to hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand.
Oh, please say to me,
You’ll let me be your man.
And please say to me,
You’ll let me hold your hand.

I was supposed to put “Well,….” as the opening part of this post but I realized that I it’s a bit usual for me to use that word, and it’s now usual for me to keep erasing what I’ve typed then typing new wordings and stuff, spending almost five minutes just for a sentence! Gahd! That might be the reason why I haven’t finished that post that I started last May 13.
Maybe that’s just for posts like this, where random thoughts just come and go (what the heck??). Anyway, I apologize for any grammatical error, and if ever you’ve read the About part of this blog, then you might have known that this blogging thing is also to enhance whatever knowledge I have with the English language. So just comment it out. It’s better to receive your-english-is-so-so-wrong comments than those hey-im-obviously-a-spam comments, but hey, I’m also doing my best to check my own stuff.

I know I haven’t finished my post about my Romblon vacation, the Splash Island trip, the HB summer swimming, the DilNet application and many more, but I just need to post this short entry.
Last election, I supported Dick Gordon to be our country’s president. And when I said supported, I mean, like giving away flyers to motorists, holding a sign board containing Gordon’s achievements, and shouting at the streets to vote for him. Thanks to my friend, John Michael Manalo.
In my opinion, he’s a leader-in-the-making. He handled the temporary alumni association of our batch. He was once a president of the FEU boosters. He’s a very sociable(?) person. And most of his plans for the barkada always come in to work.

Collide by Howie Day
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You’re barely waking
And I’m tangled up in you
Yeah
I’m open, you’re closed
Where I follow, you’ll go
I worry I won’t see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

May 10, 2010 – First Automated National Election. My FIRST voting experience.
We went to the school where our precinct is at around ten in the morning just to be greeted by the long unorganized lines and of course, the burning heat. Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAG-ASA) said that the temperature will be higher than what we felt the day before.
Luckily, we already know our clustered precinct (CP) numbers, at least the information that we got for my CP is right. For a little background, the Commission on Elections (ComElec) grouped around five to seven precincts into a CP. So if we have around 300 registered voters in a precinct, then there will be 1500 voters in a single CP. I believe that they’ve done this because of the lack of machines, and this scheme is the reason why some of the voters chose to go home and not to vote.

Love, it’s a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary
But it’s a good excuse to put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I’ll love you, I’ll love you
Love, I don’t need those things
I don’t need no ring
I don’t need anything
But you with me
‘Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete
