My Wedding

A man’s happiest day is the day he settles down with the other half of his life. I am very thankful to God since he gave it to me on the 23rd of July. It was one of the happiest day in my life and everyone was there to share it with us. The wedding was held at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Minglanilla and the reception followed at Villa Rammelyn Garden Resort.

I am thankful to all who attend that event, to our family, our friends and relatives who never ceases to support us. Thank you very much for your time in sharing this memorable event with us.

To my soon to be wife

Love itself is what’s left over when being “in-love” has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Today, I will share with you a story of how Love was left when being “in-love” faded. This story happened 10 years, 4 months and 8 days ago. It was way back in high school. I transferred from CIT to IHMA (Immaculate Heart of Mary Academy) to spend my last year in high school there. And because I was new to the school I don’t have a lot of friends. What I do, to pass the time is to sit in a corner during recess, together with my pen and notebook, I draw. I am the type to just keep silent, watch and observed people.

Baby and I

During the first week of class, I can’t help but notice this girl. She had a very beautiful hair and such clear hazel brown eyes. My first impression of her was that she was a snob or a “suplada”.  I assumed that she would only talk to persons that she likes or knew. I never had the guts to approach her and ask her name.

Welcome 2010

Goodbye, 2009, Welcome 2010!!!  Although it was raining during New Year’s Eve it didn’t hinder us from celebrating. We celebrated at Mambaling for a change this time. And because of the rain, I didn’t got a chance to light up some firecrackers, like I used to do during the past year. A lot happened in 2009, traveled to new places, meet new friends, found new obstacles and other stuffs. It was another year full wonderful events that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. I am now ready and excited for what 2010 has in stored for me.

Christmas of 2009

Christmas is not about the gift you receive or the money you spend. It is whom you share it with that matters. For me, Christmas is all about Family, for it is the only time in the year that you can share a meal as one and bond. This might be the last Christmas that I might spend with my family because hopefully next year, I am spending Christmas with the family of my own. ^_^

CodeIgniter Week

All I can say is I love an MVC framework. I started using CodeIgniter when a client of mine asked to edit their site that was coded in CodeIgniter. At first I was lost with all those folders and files, I told myself “The Hell with It”.

Instead of babbling and blindly opening files, I decided to visit the CodeIgniter site. There I was enlightened, with its proper documentation, good video tutorials and a lot of discussions I finally found what I was missing.

I am not new to MVC, but I am very disappointed on my first experience with it. I tried to develop some project using MVC with Zend but it failed… epically failed. So I started to create my own version of an MVC framework, it did not go well as planned, I had to revise and revise until I got tired and dumped it all. But now, I found a new friend.

To the developers that made CodeIgniter possible, Kudos!!!
