When you’re watching ABS-CBN‘s Umagang Kayganda over breakfast, with your *clueless* mom, and you suddenly blurt out something along the lines of, “Hey! Look at that show’s logo! It looks like an RSS button!” Grrr.

HostingPH (aka Pinoyhosting), my former web host, was just okay. I didn’t have problems with them in general and they did respond immediately to my inquiries but what I don’t like about them is their not-so-friendly staff. I hated those times when I was in a panic mode needed them to help me with something and they would just reply with a one-liner e-mail. Mostly with just a “phrase” too. I mean, it wouldn’t hurt them to show a little – but genuine – concern, would it?

Anywho, that’s all in the past! It’s time to move on. There were plenty of errors around here yesterday (e.g. images embedded in entries were nowhere to be found, and some of the plugins weren’t working), but I got them all fixed today. I think.

If you’re planning to move your WordPress blog from one web host to another, there’s a lot of tips out there that you might want to read first. To put it simply though, you must make sure you backup your files, transfer them to your new host, and modify the nameservers of your domain first before you cancel your account with your current host. Do it the other way around and you just might be forced to say goodbye to all the blog posts, comments, images, and other data you’ve collected over the past years! Or less. Whatever.

To those who enjoyed the funny photos I embedded in my previous post, I forgot to include one more photo that you might want to see! How could I have neglected this guy? I mean, he clearly has the hardest job among the group, not to mention, the greasiest. I’m sure the fumes aren’t doing him any good in there too. Poor guy. I wouldn’t smoke in there if I were him though!

But I did have a fun weekend! Friday night, I was with Riz. And Saturday night, with these guys. Thanks, friends! Ang kukulit nyo! I had the best time.

So, it’s Monday again (the day of the week that I dread the most) and I’m sick. Way to kick me when I’m down!!

Good thing my job is not anything like these guys…

… LOL.

Quotable Quotes:

“Wait ’til Bumblebee sees this, he’s gonna pop a driveshaft.”

“Ohh.. I see where this is going. You think because I’ve got the 80′s design, flat-nosed, and no flames, you think I’m not hot enough!”

“I’m hot! I’m old school! I’m more than meets the eyes, dammit!”

“I’m a semi-truck that transforms into a 30-foot robot killing machine, I DON’T GET LADIES.”

“You know, the Autobots have certain values, like respect. You didn’t get me one thing I asked for.”

“Steal me? Who would steal me? I never get away from the truck! I AM THE DAMN TRUCK.”

Here’s an excerpt from her About page.

What is a Happy Slip?
While growing up, my mom was always quick to remind me to wear a half slip with my skirts. She would say “Your hap eslip!! Be sure to wear your hap eslip!!”. So I grew up thinking – the term was always “happy slip”, until I was corrected by classmates who asked me if I had a sad slip as well.

“Hap Eslip”!! Her mom really must be Filipina! Just like her mom, my dad pronounces the letter “F” as “ep”. He sang the alphabet song to me when I was a kid this way, “Ey bi si di eeh ep gi…”. LOL.

This video by HappySlip really cracks me up! It’s a bit long but it’s really worth watching. I’m sure you’re gonna love it.

I first saw it on Mae’s Multiply. Thanks, Mae! :cute:

Love At First Sight

Michael Fajatin: “Igan, Pasado alas otso ng tahimik na mag disperse ang mga raliyista sa San Sebastian. Ngunit matapos ang ilang negosasyon.. Ito ay matapos na nag disperse sila.. Pagkatapos nito.. ahhh… hindi na sila nag-away.. nag-away na sila nung simula.. Pagkatapos nito ay nagkaroon sila ng.. ahhh.. pag aaway na sa simula.”

Talk about nonsense!

Unidentified Blog Visitors
I can relate to what Mae recently wrote in her blog about her website’s increasing number of daily visitors and yet only a small percentage of that actually gives time to leave their marks on her blog. I’ve been checking my blog’s awstats on a regular basis since the day I established its scrawny feet on cyber soil, in order for me to observe its growth and see if it’s actually going somewhere. LOL. But because awstats is such a limited tool, I switched to Google Analytics which provides a more comprehensive data. For this month alone, I’ve had a not-that-high-but-definitely-surprising number of unique visits (mostly coming from the US, Philippines, Italy, UK, Germany, etc, and some of which are brought here “organically” by the strangest keywords!). This leaves me to wonder if the random, first-time visitors who chance upon my blog everyday do get something good and useful out of this crappy site.. Haha. That answers the question why I suddenly put up a couple of ads here and there.. Maybe I’m the one who can get something good out of them. LOL.

Mae has successfully convinced some of her lurkers to identify (or “de-lurk”) themselves by posting a comment on her latest entry. Myself included. Heehee. Good job, Mae!

Just For Laughs
Check out this Calvin & Hobbes comic strip that cracked me up.

Young woman: “Trust! Tiwala!”

Young man: “Ahh..”
