I have a bunch of other things to blog. I'd normally add any new stuff to my "to-blog" list before it gets on here but I have to post this one now before it gets stale.In the latest issue of "The Week", they said it was a good week for the human race because the end of the world did not happen yesterday. But there was an Editor's Note saying they filed the item several days earlier and would

I was going to add these to the Joke Book blog until I found out that I hadn't migrated it to the new "system".

We just witnessed the lunar eclipse!!! Yoohoo!!! Right in our own backyard! I promised the kids I'd wake them up at 11:30 pm. And so I did. At first I wasn't sure since I couldn't see it from any of our windows. I had to step outside in front of the house. It was overhead, that's why.Anyway, so all four of us went out into the backyard and witnessed it. We had both the still camera and the

It's a 3-day weekend. Heh, that's just my excuse so I could have a good title. As usual, my to-blog list kept getting longer and longer. I got time now so let me take advantage of it.Jing keeps getting these new baby offers and even milk samples. What's up with that?

I keep seeing the number 37. For several weeks now. What's up with that? Will we finally get a windfall of $37,000,000? Thank you, Dear Lord! :) I also see the odd numbers 7, 9, and 11 quite a lot. Let me see... maybe on July 9, 2011, we'll win the lotto jackpot, which would be $37 million. Yep, that day is a Saturday. Superlotto day!Some people I've talked to say they don't want to be

This is the first time that Jing and I followed "Dancing with the Stars" from the first episode. I don't remember why we were interested in checking it out. Could have been because of Pamela Anderson or Buzz Aldrin. Anyway, I even found it more interesting than American Idol (Jing's very very happy with Lee's win though). The Argentine Tango... wow! It seemed really funny at first... with

The day after my most recent blog, the hummingbirds were gone. In the morning, one of them was still there. By afternoon, it was an empty nest. I hope they did fly away... as opposed to... you know... We still see hummingbirds visiting our backyard every now and then (saw one over lunch today). I would like to think it's one of them (or the parents).There's also this cat that visits our

Janelle still doesn't quite get that bragging is not a good thing. One time, Jed told her to read the book about bragging. And she replied, "I don't need to read it. I already know how to brag." Heh...We have birds nesting in the backyard again. There were two nests. One was of house finches (I think), in the same juniper tree. The other is of hummingbirds (really cool!) and it's on the wind

Finally had time to breathe. Taking this chance to blog entries that I have accumulated on my to-blog list. I'll make this as quick as possible.1. I use (although not as regularly anymore) a service called reQall that lets you dictate items you want to add to your to-do list. It's pretty accurate but it does goof up at times. This one is the funniest. And for the life of me, I could not remember

Tonight is the first night that Janelle gets to sleep on her own (Jing had been accompanying her until she fell asleep). She was actually crying (just a little bit). She just wanted to hug and didn't want to let go. I felt really sorry but she's six now.Jed came to help with consoling her, making her laugh with his antics. They probably helped, even just a bit. In the end, she finally agreed

We were at some burrito restaurant the other day and the restroom signs said "Guapos" and "Guapas". Pretty creative. However, I thought, what if someone who's... say, not good-looking and they know/admit that they're not and they don't have any sense of humor whatsoever get offended by those signs and sue the restaurant? I wouldn't be surprised.Last week's episode of Smallville totally reminded

Hehe... couldn't think of a better title... Had to look up "blue joke" to see if it meant anything. And it does. It's "dirty joke", in other words. But no worries, there is nothing dirty about this post.Last Saturday, before we got out of the car to go to the pool for the kids' swimming lessons, I was in the mood to tell jokes. So, on our way back to the car after swimming, they wanted more.

The black "clip" at the center of our laptop's DVD drive had been loose for a while. After we got back from a mini-vacation recently, I couldn't find it anymore. I asked around and it didn't sound like it could be replaced. And so I went shopping for an external reader/writer. I initially got the HP dvd1170e. But sadly, it wouldn't work with my TDK DVD+R's.

Nope, there's no connection between the two besides the fact that I'll be talking about both of them in this post. :)Jing told me about Neti Pot just recently. I think she just remembered out of the blue. A former coworker told her about it so it has been six months at least. Anyway, it's for rinsing your nasal passages.

I was on my way home, listening to KCBS. I passed a green (I think) wooden block that was sitting there in the middle of the road, right on the line between the two lanes.After about five seconds, the lady reporting the traffic said "Watch out for a wooden block...", referring to the same exact one I just passed.

Jing and I got to watch The Birds last night. And man, the ending was a complete letdown. What was the point of that movie? It wasn't even scary. No explanation whatsoever of why the birds were attacking them. I thought it had to do with her coming to town or the lovebirds she brought with her. But no, they just left. And of course, the birds just let them go away. Just like that. The only thing

I don't recall if I've mentioned this (and I'm too lazy to check right now) but we have another pair of birds that are nesting in our backyard. And this time, the crows did not find the eggs, thank God! We were at Costco one time and came across a book on birds. So, I flipped through, hoping to find the birds there. And I think I did. They're called house finches. Interestingly, the male bird is

Yesterday, on our way to Brentwood for some cherry-picking with friends (it was our first!), from out of the blue, Jed asked, "What is autism?" While I'd always thought I knew what it was, I realized I actually didn't know how to even define it. So, I just went like "you know, when someone seems to live in their own world... their mind just wanders out of this world" (something like that... I was

So, Happy Father's Day to all fathers, Australian or not! :)It's been a long time, hasn't it? As usual, my excuse is that there have been so many things going on. Life on earth is lightning-paced!Nothing much. Just thought I'd post something since I added a link to

My current favorite show, NBC's Heroes, had its season finale last night. It was good. It was sad that the Petrelli brothers had to die. Or did they? We'll see next season, won't we? My theory is that Peter will regenerate and Nathan let him go before he exploded.I just have the following gripes:1. Why couldn't Peter fly by himself? k...

Man, I've been busy, busy, busy. So many things going on, both at work and outside. This is going to be quick. Let's see...1. I passed Sun's SCJP exam. Yeah, I'm now certified by both Microsoft and Sun. The Java exam, although the coverage was narrower than Microsoft's 70-536, was actually tougher. In almost every question, among the choices were, "the code will not compile" and/or "there

Forgot to say last time that our very nice next-door neighbors won 1st place in our city's Holiday Decorating contest!!! Yipee!!! They were even on the front page of one paper. They so deserve it! Did I mention they also decorated our front lawn? They have so much stuff they offered to decorate ours as well as that of their neighbor on the other side.

I am assuming perfect score is 1000). There were so many questions that were not discussed in the book. So I can see how a person with not enough experience would really struggle. I actually did panic.

We just got back. Taking advantage of the Christmas break, we, err, I drove down to SoCal to take the kids (and ourselves) to Legoland and Universal Studios. We had fun. The kids particularly enjoyed the playgrounds as they could play freely. They also enjoyed the ball-shooting place at the Nickeledeon area at Universal.

One night, at the dining table, we talked briefly about the movie Flushed Away and how I thought it was similar to Finding Nemo in terms of how it was made (you know, animation that looks real) but in all honesty, I really had (and still have) no idea. So, here's how it went (kinda):Me: I think Flushed Away is like the Nemo movie.Jed: Okay, I don't remember a thing he said. I think he was

Hello! I thought I'd blog now before another busy week starts. It actually just did. I had to pause to answer some work email.Where to start? Ah, Kumon. So, we had to stop Jed's Kumon since we had enrolled him in a school for the gifted. But we received an invitation for an awards ceremony and he was one of the awardees. Well, there were lots of them. But still. Anyway, he got a bronze medal for

They may already be up by the time you read this.We visited the Three Shastas, the Lake Shasta Caverns, the Turtle Bay Exploration Park, and the Sundial Bridge.

I used to donate my idle computer time to the SETI@Home project. For some reason, I stopped. Recently, on a whim, I decided to join The Planetary Society. Actually, I've always been interested in Space Science and the interconnectedness (is that a word?) of all things (including us humans). Anyway, I found out that they were the ones who initiated (or helped somehow with) the SETI@Home project.

That’s my mnemonic for something new I learned yesterday. If you want to get rid of your coins, you’d want to have exact change for anything you buy with cash (or another way of course is to give them to charity or to feed your kids’ piggy banks). If you carry with you 3 quarters, 1 dime, 2 nickels, and 4 pennies (they add up to 99 cents), then you’ll have exact change no matter how much that

So it's official... I think. Pluto is now only considered a dwarf planet. From here on, we only have eight planets. Can you enumerate them?I was actually kinda glad when I heard the news. I was worried they'd really create a new term called pluton to collectively call Pluto and its moon (or something like that). That would have been a mess.Pluto, we'll still see you around.

So we decided to put Jed in the gifted school. He had a tryout the other week. Everyone there was nice, so Jed will be in good company. It was nice seeing all the smart students together in one room. I fondly call them the X-Men. Have I mentioned that before?Every night, Janelle would weigh herself and would read her weight herself. She's turning out to be one smart kid like her brother.

We were at the outlets the other day and the heat was starting to parch our throats so I walked up to a vending machine, put in my quarters - six of them - to get a Dasani water. Only then did it say that it was sold out. So, I pushed the coin return button and out of the blue, I just began to wonder if the coins it had just spit out were the same ones that I put in.

I was still finding my process of adding new galleries quite tedious. So I thought of a better solution: use some free online photo sharing service (or whatever the official term). I decided to use Yahoo! Photos. Uploading is a breeze.Check it out. I uploaded all the galleries there and added new photo albums (that's what they're called now) while I was at it.

Today, we exercised our right to vote (well, Jing has yet to), our first big task as citizens. It is California Primary Election day! Conveniently, our designated polling place was at Jed's school. So I did it right after dropping him off. It was pretty quick. They hand you a card that has the party you selected. You stick it in the voting machine and off you go.

Yesterday, we began to watch Jeopardy & Wheel of Fortune again. Not sure when and why we stopped. It must have been after we went to the Wheel of Fortune audition in South San Francisco. Our names weren't even drawn so I kinda lost interest (heh, sore loser). I guess I loved watching it vicariously, hoping that someday, I'd be the one there winning big time.Anyway, yesterday, Jed answered a

I added new photos in the Photo Galleries section (where else?). They’re from the Art Festival at Jed’s school. Check out his cool moves during their dance and his amazing rock-climbing feat. He could not even get halfway up the first time. But during the second one, with some assistance, he managed to get all the way up to the buzzer. Then, he climbed two more times, this time, all by himself.

Some non-native English speakers would say full-pledged, which kinda makes sense too if you think about it, but the fledged part is a reference to full-grown birds, i.e. completely covered with feather.But I digress.

We had just started training Jed to use a spoon and fork to eat. Hmm, I wonder if we should be teaching him to use a fork and a knife instead. But those of us who were born and raised in the Philippines use spoon and fork. Well, at least in my family. Haven't you noticed how Filipino restaurants here in the US would almost always have spoons, not just the little ones for soup? And would knives be

Finally, you'll see how much I've grown... old. :)The thumbnail photo on the right is the best family picture we have so far, believe it or not.

It's been months, I know. :) Well, what do you know? The day I found out about notpron, I got up to level 6 but was stuck there. And then I forgot all about it. And just today, I decided to visit it again while waiting for some build to finish. Got through the first four pretty quickly. I had to "google" again for level 5 as I had forgotten the login credentials (sorry, tech speak) to get out of

This is not exactly an insight. Just a great discovery.I found this site:http://deathball.net/notpron/notpron.htmIt's pretty cool. I think it gives the brain a good exercise. It can be a little frustrating though. I just found out about it today on idolforums.com...okay, the Kelly Clarkson forum to be exact. :) (Isn't she great?)

Okay. I know, I know. It's been a while since our site was last online. My previous hosting provider had some problems and so I had to switch to a new one. Here we are. However, I haven't had time to upload our files. Plus, I have been thinking of starting a new one altogether as the old one was getting kinda... well, old. But, apparently, that too is yet to be done.In the meantime, I thought I'd

Why would anyone choose the Quaker Oats Old Fashioned over the Quick 1-Minute version? They've got the same ingredient. Same nutritional information. I can't think of any reason at all.

Just recently, we tried Pampers for Janelle. We had been using Huggies for both her and Jed. Remember my recent blog about diapers not having drawings on the back? Well, Pampers does. So, now I'm happy. The strange thing is that, I don't really wave it in front of her just like I thought I would when I was wishing the Huggies diapers had the drawings on the back. Oh well, humans. Once they get

I think that it makes more sense to put the designs of diapers on the back instead of in front (if they can't put designs on both sides). Well, at least on the smaller sizes. Why? I'm glad you asked. Whenever I'm changing Janelle's diaper, while opening the new diaper up, there's always that urge to wave it in front of her. So, it would be nice if there was some design on the back that she could

The other day (don't remember exactly when), Jed was able to answer another question on Jeopardy. They showed another logo of some product (I forget which one) and of course, Jed knew the answer.Now that Janelle has been born, we have realized how much Jed had grown. Suddenly, he seems a lot bigger and heavier. I'm guessing all parents experience this whenever a new addition to their family

June 23rd, on Jeopardy, they showed the Subaru logo as one of the clues and since he knows almost all of the car logos, Jed exclaimed, "Subaru!". He may have just been the youngest person ever to answer a Jeopardy clue. Well, technically, he didn't answer correctly as he didn't do it in the form of a question but I don't care. :) We're just so proud of him.

Have you ever heard yourself snoring? I have on occasions but until the other night, it was always somewhat muffled. It was like I was hearing myself snore from within. But the other night, twice, I heard it as loud as Jing would have (or actually did). And so it woke me up. I was really worried that I might not be able to sleep that night because my snoring would always wake me up. It's like

I've got a tenth one! (See my previous post if you don't know what I'm talking about.)10. The tailgaters. I don't know but some people seem to think that the term "carpool" in "carpool lane" means "super fast". The next time someone tailgates you, just let them. Don't move any faster than you are. Let them go through their gas faster. It's their money. And as my uncle once said, it wouldn't be

Things that make my blood boil while on the road... and they're all people. In random order, they are:1. The non-signallers. Those who do not know how to use their turn signals. Many do not signal at all (thinking that we all have ESP and therefore know what they'll do next). I've even seen some who were signalling for one direction but going the other. How funny is that?2.

Finally, another blog... I was driving on 101 on my way to where Jing worked when I saw this billboard ad that said "Because waiting isn't working". I didn't catch the name of the company. Anyway, I dwelled upon that sentence for a couple of minutes and thought that it had dual meaning. It could mean waiting is not the same as working (or in math, waiting equals working). Meaning, when you're

On the way to work this morning, we just got on 101 from 92... We ended up trailing this white Ford Windstar whose license plate number is 7 (seven), just 7 greater than ours. How cool is that? How often does something like that happen to anyone in their lifetime? It just did to me. Well, I think I'm now on a mission to find the other six. ;)

The other day, we had to wake up at 5:30 am because we had to go to the final walk-thru of the house we recently purchased (our first one). So we set the alarm to go off at 5:30 am. Well, I woke up at 5:29 am, beating the clock by one minute (actually, it wasn't even a whole minute).

When I was little, I would wave at every plane I saw flying by. I've been on countless flights and I just realized that there is something that I wish I had done in each and every one of those flights, which is, bring my binoculars and see if there's someone down there waving at me... well, at the plane. It would be real cool if they had their own binoculars and would see me waving back at them.

It's amazing how two persons with two different native languages hear animals differently, too. At first, I thought, maybe animals of the same species but are in different countries really spoke different languages. But as it turns out, the sound that they make are pretty much the same. It's just the perceptions that are different. Look at the following examples:Here in the US, when dogs bark,

I just called my insurance agent but was told that the entire staff was in a meeting. It made me wonder. What could they be meeting about? How to lower the rates? How to further improve customer service? I guess, being in a software company, I'm used to go to meetings about on-going as well as future projects. Do insurance companies have lots of projects, too? What kind of projects would they be?

I often think of staying in one lane (as opposed to weaving in and out of them) as buying some shares and holding them. When I stay in one lane, I usually end up getting to my destination faster and less stressed at that. In the same manner, you end up better off with the buy & hold strategy (well, that's what most financial gurus say) and less stressed too as you don't need to monitor the market
