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

BP in the City of the Golden Friendship

Apart from that pitiful excuse of a solo called “Far Greater Love,” 1 I know, I know, I shouldn’t be too OC about it the group’s trip to CDO was a very enlightening experience for me. I never realized how far I could go for the love of this group.

I wasn’t supposed to go, there were so many reasons not to; My Dad’s birthday was the next day, we were only essentially spending one day there, and will only be able to do what we set out to do; the concert. 2 I can only speak for myself, but most of the appeal of any out-of-town trip is the excursion aspect of it We had another performance at Gesu the next day (Dad’s B-day)… oh, and I haven’t even factored in that solo cluster-fuck of mine that was slated to happen during the concert, nor having to sleep in the hallway for a while (being the idiot that I am, I had forgotten to take the keys from my room-mates).

Given I’m the type of guy who could refuse to be part of a gig for the simple reason of not wanting to wake up too early, yeah, this trip should’ve been a no-brainer for me. But for some inexplicable reason, I even found myself doing things I normally wouldn’t do… and quite frankly I try to look back, and I haven’t the slightest idea why I even had to volunteer doing them.

And given all the events that transpired before, during, and after – I find myself in this eerie state of serenity. It’s like everything I mentioned above is what I know I should be thinking… and I already know what I should logically be feeling because of it, but I’m not…

This was one strange weekend indeed. Read More
