After visiting Mozilla’s website, it looks they have released the beta version of their 4th version of Firefox. I quickly downloaded it and viola!

The new version of the well know browser, for its high quality both in security and customization, looks cool and even more snappier from previous versions. Below are some of my first impression on the new version.

Another Year Have Passed

It is my birthday today and nothing special is happening. Though, I think, my wife is going to cook, I kinda feel that today is just a normal day. Aside from my colleagues broadcasting to everyone that today is my birthday, nothing is new. Everything is the same. And all I feel is dull and bored. I need something exciting. Something out of the ordinary activity. Something different from what I used to do every birthday I had – ang manlibre o kaya magpakain sa labas.

Since I was little, every birthday namin, my Father sees to it na may handa kami. Kahit konti basta may handa. Konting pansit, tinapay, isang litrong coke, cake, at ice cream. Tama na iyan para sa akin. But as years passed by, sometimes it gets you. You will feel the “is-there-anything-different” feeling because you used to experience this in a long time. So, I guess something different would not hurt.

Prince of Persia On The Big Screen – A Must See or Not?

Prince of Persia is a 90′s PC game. It is an action/adventure type of genre. I was first introduced with this game when my parents bought me a 386 Intel PC from a Save on Surplus (SOS) Computer Store. It was a desktop then. I still haven’t seen the tower PCs outside school premises before but as soon as I got a PC, I was instantly dove on the games that was included on it. Prince of Persia was one of them.

As soon as I played the game, I instantly was overwhelmed with the storyline, gameplay, and animations. And so that was the time I started to follow the game’s franchise. From PCs, the game went to consoles such as PlayStation PS1-3. Now, they made a movie out of it.

As soon as I heard that Prince of Persia will be shown on the big screen, I was so eager to see it. You see, every gamer, whether on PC or on any console games, dreams of having one of his favorite games shown to the big screen. And I am one of them.

Bohol. Land of the Tarsiers, Loboc River and of course the famous Chocolates Hills. For the last 8 days, me and my family toured Bohol.

Our main destination is Candijay, Bohol. My wife’s birthplace. Luckily, fiesta sa kanila. Kaya naman madaming baboy ang gustong atakihin sa puso para hindi sila ma-litson. Madaming mga tao. Sobrang busy sa pagluluto ng handa. Madaming ginagawa. Madaming preparasyon.

Nanghuli pa nga kami ng tulia, crabs, at marami pang sea shells para may mabaon at makain kami sa pag-gagala.

The next day, since we arrived, we started to visit places. Here goes…

Change Is Inevitable

I often hear change is good. That change makes the world move forward. That in life, change makes you into two different being. Either you become good or the opposite of it. Either you become something or you become nothing at all.

We can never hinder change. And most definitely we cannot prevent it. We live in this world where change is constant. Where change makes change.

Battle of the Names

Your name is important. It is what defines your existence. It is an evidence that you live or once lived. It is your identity. All people have one. Heck, even animals or things have names.

On a little side note of trivia, did you know that there is what we call the study of names? It is called “Onomastics” from the greek word “Onoma” which means name. According to behindthenames.com, onomastics is a field of study which touches on linguistics, history, anthropology, pyschology, sociology, philology and much more. Astig! May bago akong nalaman.
