I Accidentally Deleted BallEx Today
But got it up from a day old sql backup. I posted this morning but I managed to retrieve that as well by being subscribed to my own RSS feed, so it was ‘backed up’ more or less. Can I just say, WHEEEEWWWWWWW! What I was working on needed a new db installed and I…

Got Super Sick But Now I’m Ok Again
I decided to wash my bedsheets a few days ago, substituting an old ratty one for the night. BIG mistake. My allergies flared up which quickly worsened into whatever horrible sinus related ailment and before I knew it, everything ached, I couldn’t even walk and essentially I became a vegetable. And due to the fact…

When I Grow / Grew Up, I Want / Always Wanted To Be Iron Man
I am about to give Iron Man the highest possible rating I possibly can. And here it is: Iron Man brings me back to when I was 9. For isn’t that what every little kid wanted to be? Tinkering with toys in a well lit, well equipped workroom, dreaming fantastic dreams, building fantastic things?

Getting My Programming Ducks In A Row
I know my previous post has probably revealed more about me than I’m usually comfortable writing about, but I took the time to let it sink in and have decided its gonna stay as is. I’ve always thought the way to grow was to take yourself out of your comfort zone, and by golly mission…

Yna
I hadn’t had a vacation until, let’s see it was the end of the UAAP season then, so was it Aug 2007? Anyway it was at Boracay, but for some odd reason it wasn’t as fulfilling a holiday as I’d thought it’d be. I remember going there in 1995 and back then Boracay was TRULY…

The Best BallEx Post We’ve Ever Written
.. has got to be this one. John Dacanay wrote it while I provided the images (which has haaaarrrrd). John’s incredible basketball knowledge continues to astound me. He really is a walking basketball encyclopedia and I’m proud to help him in every way with his goal to eventually release a book. Some interesting factoids (which…

Gold’s. Yeah the Gym. And Me. Wow, right?
Gold’s 2x a week – By some amazing stroke of luck I was able to score an annual membership GC for Gold’s Gym which I am promptly using 2x a week. Gold’s is amazing, especially when coming from this: Don’t knock it though. From that lowly garage I turned out pretty ok. It’s just the…

Good Ol’ Writing Contests
Kikay and Ballex are both running writing contests right now. Primary purpose of which is to increase content and content sources, and consequently lessen our loads so we can concentrate on newer, exciting stuff. But hey if it helps weed out a few budding writers out there, why not, right? This is my hope I…
