Exasperating predicament

Three days since I have transferred to a new server and I’m really experiencing difficulties on this blog! At first, when I tried posting, the body just disappears after clicking the Save and Continue Editing, Save and Publish. The Submit button of the comments part does not work also. I posted at the Wordpress support forum (this is the post) and got a reply. I followed his suggestion of ticking off the usage of the visual editor in the profile page. After doing this, the problem of the disappearing body text was corrected but the comments submission is still not working.

I planned of doing another reinstall of all the wordpress files and SQL database via PHPadmin but unfortunately, I’m experiencing frequent timeouts in this internet cafe!

Gota be online again tomorrow.

Moving to a Dreamhost

I will be moving to a new server this week and problems might be encountered accessing this site…

Honasan apologizes

Gringo Honasan, after having been granted to post bail, was a free man the other day. After hitting the crowds campaigning, he, in an interview, admitted that he also made mistakes and that he apologized for the series of coup-d’etats that he has initiated and brought into the country during the administration of Cory Aquino. As much as I would want to believe the sincerity of this now aging man, I still doubt if it is really heartfelt. Come to think of it, he is running for the Senate as an independent and has to cover much ground considering that he was incarcerated and one thing that can get him votes is to tug at the hearts of Filipinos and get their sympathy.

Its a rather cheap shot. He has to prove his sincerity first. Idealistic as he might be, you can’t always trust a man who has gone against the goverment more than seven times and in the process disrupted the economic and fledging peace that was just attained after 1986 and still cannot shake off rumors that he’s behind other destabilization attempts like the failed Oakwood mutiny.

With his apology, will he do a Tessie Aquino-Oreta and explain why he was a coup-d’etat king?

Another text scam

Early this morning I got a text/SMS message:

Congratulations ur sim #hadwon Php900, 000.00 From Casino Filipino during our 23d anniversary electronic raffle drw 4 more info call me now I’m Atty. Cindy A. Morales DTI permit#3777 series/2007…

The mobile number of the sender is +6391976677293.

It is easy to know that this is a scam since the originating number is a mobile number, not a special 3 or 4 number code.

Semana Santa 07: Three images

What kept me busy during the last Semana Santa or Holy Week?

Quezon: Decorated flagellants early morning don a beautiful headress made from leaves and flowers.

Makati City: Tucked in one of the premier city’s many barangays, an almost 80 year old Senakulo is still being performed. My Senakulo portfolio.

Paete, Laguna: The pre-hispanic Ritual of the Dead is performed on a centuries old Santo Intierro
