Last year this time, I woke up in Misery

Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) left us all in a state of calamity and sorrow. It rained non stop for 6 hours and brought everything to a halt. The floods buried the metro in helpless situation. It was worse than what happened in New Orleans. Google if you need to, so you'll know what I mean. Check Flickr, You Tube, Facebook too. Click to see large version of the print screen images.

IE9 Beta Released.. XP Users left out and ignored

So, a new browser for Microsoft. The (browser) war is not over it seems. FF, Chrome look out. Microsoft running after their rivals. When I had my first pc13 years ago (I had to beg my mom), I was running Netscape as browser for crying out loud. I switched to IE after a few months. Click inside IE9

In the meantime, Here are 12 Things You Need To Know About IE9 And part of that is the sucky news that XP users cannot download, will not be able to get the new browser because it's exclusive to windows 7 and Vista. Aw. majority of people still uses XP you know. All right. I know it's slowly dying and it's probably the way they want so that people will leave the ageing OS.

Okay so XP is becoming obselete? will be extinct? is an antique? cannot support acceleration and HTML5?

As I'm running my PC using XP prof, and will not be able to download the new browser, I will just try it on with another pc that is running windows 7. I have to buy one first. I'm content with my XP. I never even dared getting a Vista. FF, Chrome, running perfectly.

I don't want to be left out with technology but I'm still happy with my XP and my 3 browsers. Yes, I'm running different browsers . I'll have windows 7 machine. but 'll stick with FF as browser.

The hyping of an idiot

I decided to blog about the loony one. Who the hell is Terry Jones? I've seen news about him in recent days but wasn't really interested. I really don't know the whole story until just last night while browsing the net for a blogging piece about 9/11.

Apparently media/ cable pundits/bloggers/ social networks hyped and sensationalized the idiot's plan to burn the Koran. Terry idiot basked the limelight trying to promote his own radicalism. He loved it. The idiot! And the media... tsk tsk.

Terry Jones is an Idiot...

Terry Jones is nobody. Is he really a pastor? Maybe seeking limelight for his cult? Retard?

His threat to burn Quran/ Koran is such a disgusting idea. Only lunatic will do that. He hates Muslims and the the idea of building a mosque near ground zero. He can hate all he wants but to burn something sacred to Muslims is an act of ignorance and stupidity.

Because we don't want to forget

Read this article form NY Times: September 11, 2010: The Right Way To Remember.

Nine years after terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center, a memorial and a transportation hub are taking recognizable shape and skyscrapers are finally starting to rise from the ashes of ground zero.

9/11 I weep for you

I always remember September 11, 2001. I'm not American but I don't have to be one to share the grief, sadness and anger with what transpired 9 years ago. I remember what I was doing and where was I when it happened. It was evening, (local time here) I was chatting online and surfing the net but at the same time watching t.v. in my room. Breaking news flashed on the screen and I see that World Trade Center is burning. Pentagon, Pennsylvania also reported that planes have crashed.

Tower one was burning I saw the planes from the news footage, smashed through the towers. I remember being shocked and awed and stayed throughout the evening into the morning not turning off the t.v. but watched all the news from CNN.

I wept when they showed people trapped inside the burning tower, choosing to jump to save their lives. 40 stories, high even 30 or 20 they all jumped one by one and I shamelessly cried when I saw the images. I wept watching the news and when people couldn't find their love ones in their state of panic. I wept seeing them tired and crying helpless, wandering and wondering where are their families. Even news reporters and anchors couldn't stop the tears flowing from their quivered voices. It was hard for them report on the scene without feeling any emotions.

9/11 changed everything. The way American views things, the way they see the future and how to deal with Muslims. Somehow, America is not safe anymore. Americans are wary and it is understandable. All you have to do is to remember that sunny morning of September 11, 2001 a little over past 8 a.m. A piece of safety and security broken by radicals of Al Qaeda.
