jesh — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:27:15 +0000

This review is kind of delayed, but anyway, I’m posting a review for it. hehe.. Last April 17 was Ayala’s free Photography Workshop for A-Card holders. I’m not a card holder but I just availed for my friends A-Card. hehe.There were around 80-100 participants for the Workshop itself and around 35 participants for the Photography Contest (I just hope my entry got it’s way into the top 10 *fingers crossed* :s ). Speaker was Joey Tanedo from UP Diliman. Here are few photo’s I got from the event.

The Flores minus 1 :D

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” and yes, this is Christmas! :) *yey!* It was fun being with the whole family back together again. Just so sad without my other brother around because of being out of the country. *sad* (wala ko gift from him.. waaah!) But, I just hope he’s doing fine out in the freezing snow. :) It’s not that bad though. There had been lots of gifts (friends, family, anyone? :) ), lots of laughs, lots of smiles (from my family, myself, and someone special. ayee!), and lots and lots of food (from everywhere). *yey*

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Cakes!

L from Mee and Sebastian from friends

December 4 was my birthday and I was 21. Now, I’m 22 and I’m getting old, reeeaaally fast.. hehe. But of course, I could still never forget the blessings I’ve had in my life. This might be another “alone” birthday, being away from home. But good thing still have friends around. :)

Thanks for all the greetings and thanks for all the gifts. :D

Sonnet 17

I admire this poem:

Sonnet 17
by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

in which there is no I or you
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand
so intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close

May 1 is Labor Day

Labor Day.. Not much of an ordinary day.. Huh? Well I just consider these reasons why I just love May 1 so much.. :)

It is the special day of the employed (includes me of course).
It’s a HOLIDAY! But of course, no work! but with pay.
Third and lastly, it’s a happy day. For me it is (and I don’t care if it is not for you). ;)

Stop asking why, I just love it..

Revisiting the ILOVEYOU Virus

jesh — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 08:48:48 +0000

Recalling a few years ago, the Philippines received one recognition from the world. It was during the outbreak of the very famous ILOVEYOU virus. After tracing back the root cause and main source of this virus, the fast spreading activities of this virus was finally put to an end. The author of the virus was caught, but was never convicted and all charges were dropped because the country never had laws governing these types of activities. Now we revisit this famous Filipino “destructive” creation. Gathering the worst computer viruses of all time, this sleek ILOVEYOU virus has found its way to be in the list of top ten (10) worst computer viruses.

Reality Bytes moved to WordPress

jesh — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 12:45:31 +0000

I have made some minor changes in my personal web blog. I’m sorry if most of the searches that result in Google, or Yahoo! or whatever search engine you use to search the contents of my blog would result to an Error 404 (Page not found). For some reason I have switched to WordPress instead of Blogspot. Of course, I can’t leave my readers behind. However, you can still access the same contents of my blog through my personal domain (jreflores.net) or my WordPress blog address (jreflores.wordpress.com).

I switched to WordPress not because I transitionally disliked Blogspot. Blogspot offers complex features that I could not find in other blog hosting service providers. I am switching because of my preparation in openning my personal portfolio website soon.

I may have switched but, I have not stopped in writting my deep opinions on topics and ideas. Tutorials, opinions and different articles are still being published under my authorship. Happy blog reading.

Happy New Year everyone!

Before this great/horrible year (pick whatever adjective suits occurrences this year) ends. I finally had the time to grab my keyboard and write my last blog of the year. A lot of things has happened to me for this year 2008. For a year, I have counted a lot of significant achievements and happenings. Of course, that includes my failure in fulfilling my New Year’s resolution; “I will minimize drinking alcohol!” Funny it may see, but I declared this very ridiculous promise to myself. So for me, that’s already failure #1, and counting. *laughs*.

Anyway, for everything that has happened in this closing year, they were all worth it. May it be agonizing or self-fulfilling, everyone has done a great deal in making this year meaningful. We are part of every event that has took place to be the next chapter of history.

As the old new year cliche goes, “Let’s leave the past behind and lets start a new beginning as another new year starts.” Happy New Year everyone! Cheers!

It has been a while since I’ve been through web development. After roughly seven months, I’m back. I’m currently into developing my very own website. I’ve just started and I’m using one of the widely used Open Source Content Management System nowadays; Drupal. Soon, you will be able to browse it through www.jreflores.net. Happy browsing.
