Liceo De Paete Class of '89

I am trying to organize a small meeting for the Liceo De Paete Class of '89 to which I belong. It has been awhile since our class had a reunion and given the current state of affairs, our last known president has gone into exile, I am pushing for a coup d'etat to overthrow the govenrment in exile and legitimize the emeging Coalition of the Willing. I am looking forward to meeting for the first time in eight years my dear friend Agu. But something happened. I was supposed to have taken my vacation from Wednesday but too much work (we are in the critical stage of a building move which means systems have to move as well). I had to stay back a few more days to see to it that the last task is completed this week so I cancelled my flight booking and moved it to Saturday. That's tomorrow. But something was still not quite sure comfortable so I had to cancel my flight a second time. Most likely, a few more days is needed so that I can confirm that the patch I did for a piece of software will work on Monday. If all's well, I will be home soon enough. This has been turning out to be the longest work week I ever had. It will be over soon enough.

Lazy Afternoon

Just tried uploading a video into YouTube. This one is just for testing. I don't know if I will be doing this more in the future though.

The background music is an excerpt from Okaasan (Mother) composed by musical genius Joe Hisaishi for the anime movie My Neighbor Totoro, a popular film by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. I hope the superlatives will entice you enough to watch that movie. You're going to like it. Apologies if the music is suddenly cut. This is a portion of a 30-minute movie I tried experimenting with.

Random Thoughts

I chanced upon Aldrin's blog hosted on Friendster and I never stopped reading it. Unfortunately, I have to sign-in in order to post a comment. I don't have a Friendster account despite the countless invitations I receive. (It seems that it's very popular to my kababayan Paetenians.) I don't want to create one just so I can comment so I am writing about it here. Hey, Aldrin if you ever get a chance to visit this space - here's a Hi to you. I enjoyed reading your posts, very honest and down to earth and maybe because I can directly relate to most of what you have written about. I will surely be back to read some more...
