My Worst Week Ever

Early Monday when you found out that you got fever. I don't want to go to the office but I have to and I got no choice. Tuesday when I feel better and I have to do something or else my backlog will be humongous. Wednesday, my boss is back, and I got the surprisingly sermon. Well, it is my job and I got to take that as a compliment that means she still needs me. Thursday, adventure day. The day I got to find the cafes in different location. Damn! Why is it that they listed their phones and yet it is no longer their number? The businessmen of the 21st century. At the end of the 8 hour working adventure was a banana split at Mercorner of E. Quirino. Friday, the sunny day. I am happy this day because at 5pm I'm gonna eat Choco Parfait at Mercorner again with some people I know. Too much excitement, I've waited for them for 1 hour and 30 minutes but still no Choco Parfait and no Mercorner. So much for the happiness I went home sad and mad. Saturday, last day of work but I'm not done yet with the working adventure of finding different cafes all over Davao. But my dear Dokie Haw reminded me of eating at Fwendz for dinner. Again, even if you know you are tired but to eat with people and have a little fun over dinner would be great. Again, again, again..... No dinner no Fwendz....

Why did this happen to me? Do you ever had worst week wherein all you planned are not happening because one of your so-called officemates couldn't make it because she can't leave someone and her boyfriend tells her to go home? It happened to me. And I was so mad at it, because they could have explained to the other party that this Choco Parfait thing was planned and dinner at Fwendz was planned and you could not just not let happen because someone waited for you to finish your 8 hour work and waited to eat Choco Parfait and dinner at Fwendz.

Guy Kawasaki: Happy Using Twitter

I have been a follower of Guy Kawasaki ever since I've heard his name over some people's blog post. I made a quick reading through his blog and I like his way of blogging. One day he said he's using Twitter now and that he liked it. I've searched his name over Twitter.com and there he is. I followed Mr. Kawasaki over Twitter. I hope he'll be forever happy using Twitter.

The Comfort Zone

Define the phrase "comfort zone". According to LifeHack.Org:

Over time, we all gather a set of constricting habits around us—ones that trap us in a zone of supposed comfort, well below what our potential would allow us to attain. Pretty soon, such habits slip below the level of our consciousness, but they still determine what we think that we can and cannot do—and what we cannot even bring ourselves to try. As long as you let these habits rule you, you’ll be stuck in a rut.

Nobody is born with a manual for itself for the his or her life. Everyone makes creates a so called sanctuary wherein we all experience some comfort. A comfort zone can be your house or your daily habit. They say if you do one habit everyday for 26 days you will be hooked to it.

Even if we are told many times that we have committed a mistake, each one of us must make up our own way for that is life. As a boss we can not tell our subordinate to do this because it will help her. We need to mess up sometimes and it is nothing to be scared about. Things happen if it is bound to happen. A lot of people suffer anxiety at work only because they are scared to leave their comfort zone. A lot of people would be so brave enough only because they've found comfort from someone who they think will defend them or help them in times when waters are high.

You know what's the good thing about being told by the truth, it makes you mad and it opens your eyes that this is the truth. You could no longer bring it back but at least the very consolation that you can give yourself is to give yourself a chance to hear what is true and grow up.

Filipino Bloggers? No Values?

The older generation of Filipinos find blogging or a blogger, someone that has no Filipino values. I heard it from someone close to me saying it does not makes sense because you are telling the whole world of what kind of person you are. Values is something that really matter to us. Caring matters to me as well as my freedom of speech.

Filipino Bloggers does not write a post when he or she does not have any basis or reference to it. We write what is in our minds because that is our opinion but it does not change who we are. Now going back to blogging as a right or privilege post that I made, which is a comment also to Blogie's post. Blogging is responsible writing, it is a right for anyone who would want to use their freedom of speech right. Blogging is responsible writing, it is a privilege for everyone but the purpose is not to hurt anyone. The freedom and right in blogging does not give license to everyone to just type without careful thinking.

For future bloggers, read other blogs and learn their format before you start typing.

If There is Web 2.0, IBM Make Its Own Info 2.0

Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social networking, wikis, and other stuff, which aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users. It is like the world wide web is changing not physically but the changes are from the web-developers and the end-users that uses the web.

From the article:

"Info 2.0 is going to bring together a variety of information sources," Picciano said. As part of its Info 2.0 push, IBM on Tuesday introduced a preview of IBM Mashup Starter Kit, for building mashup applications and bearing Info 2.0 characteristics.

"We're putting Web 2.0 to work with Info 2.0," Picciano said.

It doesn't make sense at all. Looks like they both function the same. But when it comes to the terms used, Info 2.0 is better because it says it all. Information is what we get from the world wide web, no offense to those who made the term Web 2.0.

As long as the Info 2.0 will help us all, why not. Maybe it'll be another web revolution.

If you want to read the short article, clich H-E-R-E.

And Then Yahoo Loves Mybloglog Too

I don't know who bought first but I have seen Mybloglog changed. It is now part of the Yahoo family.

There are a lot of things that you can do with the internet and earn while you are doing it. I am sure the maker of these sites did not start that big. It just turned out that they all love to do one thing. Make new websites wherein people will love it, adore that site, recommend that site, and when you got a lot of users SELL it.

There is another thing that I've noticed in between; If Yahoo will buy one, Google will buy another. The heat continue to rise up as to who is the king of the World Wide Web. Who's also trying to beat Ebay? In the local seen, is it DavaoSale? Maybe.

Jaiku Becomes Google's New Aquired Asset

Should I say asset? Would it bring Google additional income?

Either or, Jaiku users does not care. I think Jaiku is the same with Twitter. It is like blogging as well wherein you just post one single line or sentence of what you are doing currently. Like others would call it, micro-blogging.

Jaiku is an activity stream and presence sharing service that works from the Web and mobile phones. Jaiku, Ltd. was founded in February, 2006 by Jyri Engeström and Petteri Koponen from Finland. The service was released on the Web in July 2006. Jaiku is based in Helsinki.

In comparison, Twitter is crowed-favorite, but since Google owns Jaiku then maybe Jaiku will beat Twitter.

Anyway, it shows us that that's another way to earn in the internet. So for those who knows how to make one like these geek guys then do it and then make it big then sell it, you'll be millionaires in the future.
