Been a busy weeked for the group

Here are some gallery sets from a wedding in Santuario de San Jose. Which was a riot, since the wedding right after our underground group was another underground contingent of the older [non-active] members. Nagka-bukuhan! hahahaha!

Then there’s another memorable one at Santurario de San Antonio; where we started putting our “shy” members into “solo mode.” 1 Actually baka si Vino lang… si Gino naman gusto niya talaga; you’re not fooling anyone with your “modest” approach dude. But I still love you. I always believed that “forcing” [preferably unwilling] people to step up to the plate and sing is always good for individual confidence (and overall group morale) – what better testing grounds than weddings gigs right?

And how could we forget the unofficial “Grand Alumni Homecoming” mini-concert before the mass during the 7th Simbanggabi at Gesu. A whole bunch of members residing/stationed in different parts of the world came home for the holidays… and we ended up doing an impromptu repertoire to utilize the rare “concert-force” attendance.

Are you happy?

Here’s another one of those “Manual to my life” posts. This entry in particular explains (in part) why I have a generally “positive” disposition – despite having the same (or probably even more difficult) challenges in life just like any other person.

It doesn’t have anything to do with being “happy” or “positive” – but the simple fact that I refuse to be “negative.” What do I mean when I say that? Read on…

I don’t like people who complain. Well that’s not really true; I embrace everyone’s mystery 🙂

But if you want to test my patience, then the quickest way to get me going is to complain – bonus points if you try to spin it in such a way that you’re kawawa – if you’re lucky enough; I might just decide to step in and beat you with a stick – and I think people will agree that you don’t want to be at the business end of that stick (oh wait, depends what “stick” we’re talking about hehehe).

Best. Wedding. Ever.

I have a feeling that the wedding 1 or more appropriately: reception we attended yesterday will be featured in the newspapers or magazines – it was quite a surreal experience – enough for me to blog about; well, plus of course the bride is practically family.

This post is for the girls, because I just know how you love talking about this sort of stuff, and let me tell you, as a guy, even I have the urge to share it with you… it was that good! This reception, has got to be the best I’ve been to.

It was the reception ceremony/party of the Litton-Garrido nuptials, held in Le Pavillon. Charissa (Issa) is a family friend, and I’m here to pimp the awesomeness of her party to everyone. You heard it here first (I hope).

I wouldn’t want to be the one to divulge the budget they had for this, but let me just say; there’s a “magic number” women talk about in context of wedding expenses… and if anyone’s wondering exactly how much that could get you… then look no further!

WordPress vs MT revisited

Now that it’s been a while since the blog started being powered by WordPress, I figured it was the time to do a comparison of the two systems.

I guess the short of it is that if you don’t need plugins that much… MT would be the better system. It’s highly configurable on it’s stock setting. In other words, you probably can do most content “filtering” with a base install of MT, while you’ll be needing a bunch of plugins on WP to accomplish the same things.

Having said that though, if you need lots of “special” functionality, WordPress can be a practical choice because of the sheer activity of the plugin development community.

For the next post, I’ll be evangelizing a certain plugin-architecture that I think may benefit a lot of WP plugin developers. I’ll also drop some code in to extend and make it more useful. In the meantime, I’ll go through my general opinions of the new system after the switch. Read More
