I missed work today due to stomach upset or it could be Food Poisoning.
By the way… someboy told me (one of my few blog reader) that I should write something personal here sometimes. Nuff of tech news.
5 a.m. – Early morning my tummy just crumbled and it hurts so badly that I could barely move. I made myself a hot cocoa thinking it would relieve some of the pain. After a few minutes, it still hurts like I got beaten up. I tried to eat some cuz I thought I must be hungry. Well… I can’t taste the food and I cannot even swallow the bread. So I searched our kitchen pantry for Campbell’s soup. I had mushroom soup and at least it gave me some relief.
An hour later, just as I finished the soup, and just as I finished throwing up, I remembered that I need TUMS. I took 4 tablets. Went back to bed and it’s still hurting but I just slept through the pain. I continued taking TUMS every 4 hours or so, 2 tabs each. But everytime I take a nap, I would dream of some weird stuff. I thought I’m dying. I saw a lot of my long lost friends that came to visit me in my dreams. It felt so real. In those dreams, I was still feeling the pain.
I spent the whole day drinking a lot of water, a lot of sleep and viewing web lessons by Lynda.com. Over all, my day was not so bad at all.
Thank God I’m still alive and I’m sure that He is always there and we should just hold on to Him no matter what.

We just got back from NJ and NY, and the walk is long; rain poured all Sunday night. The weather was fair and it would have been nice to wear these pair of Heat Sensitive Shoes from PUMA. Its color changes as the temperature drops or rises. I’d walk this out!
–I forgot to visit the famous Apple Store in New York.

Since I installed OpenDNS, I have had websites that are blocked due to it falls under adult-themed sites. For example, myspacecdn.com domain is being used as photos by Myspace. Everytime I visit myspace, pictures don’t show up. I had to turn off some of my Adult Blocking filters on OpenDNS’ Dashboard just to view the site properly. Thankfully, now there’s whitelist. Whitelist allows you to visit domains regardless of any content filtering.

Apple just released a new iMac with some cool new design and processor. It supports Core 2 Duo and it got thinner!! It’s so sleek makes me wanna slave myself. If anybody would buy me a 24″ iMac, I can work for him/her for 300hrs. I’m serious. I know there’s also a new Mac mini but the mini does not have an iSight, the thin keyboard and the sexy monitor that iMac has.

At last, here comes an iPod accessory that’s really useful aside from Nike+ Sport. Timex just released Ironman iControl watch that allows you to control your iPod on your wrist wirelessly. You can control Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down and Track Forward/Backwards. It looks to me on their website that it only supports Nano at this time. For $125, not a bad Timex Indiglo® and a gym accessory. Ships on 08/10.

So I wanted to post thru my mobile phone on my facebook. Basically I want to blog on wordpress inside facebook. Unfortunately, I have my own site hosted and I don’t have a wordpress account. The wp application on facebook only allows users with wp accounts. If you’re running wordpress on your blog, it won’t work on Facebook app (as of this post).
So I used twitter instead, but, twitter is so simple for me. I consider it just for “micro-blogging”. I wish to have a portal for everything and I feel like facebook would do it for people like me. And how come facebook still not supporting ALLTEL? Alltel is always left behind 
Yes, it’s so sad for us Alltel customers. Although, thanks to them, I now have EVDO in our area. Finally, after 2 years of waiting.
