Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher

No doubt I would like to be Demi Moore – Kutcher for a day! Why? Apart from the fact that she is married to young Ashton Kutcher, Demi has been very active with various charities that has made alot of impact in developing countries as well as the US.

When I went to Manila for the Wordcamp Philippines, I decided to meet up with my friends from UP-ORG.  I have not seen most of them since 1997.  Anyways, because of Facebook and text messaging, we all managed to converge and we decided to meet at 77 Bar Cafe Resto in Kamuning.

The trip from Cagayan de Oro was swift.  I arrived at the Kabayan Hotel at 6pm and after a swift check in, I unpacked my things and decided that the best mode of transport from Pasay to Cubao is my MRT.  I cringed.  Its funny how I have lived in Manila for many years, not counting the 4 years in UP…  I never had the chance to take the MRT.

October 2 will remain etched in my memory.  Twas the day I met Matt Mullenweg, the Founder of Automattic and Developer of WordPress, the CMS that powers all my websites.  I have been a WordPress user for more than 7 years.  I started blogging with Typepad then I wanted more control over my site and moved to Moveable Type.  That was the time when blogging meant posting family pictures and writing about my trip here and abroad.  After the birth of lifediscourse.com, I decided that I needed to compartmentalize my website and decided on a niche and since I am very interested on personal finance, Pinoy Frugal Living was born.

Thanks to Eric Malloy for the riveting presentation during the Breakaway Talks for Advance WordPress Users who attended the Wordcamp Philippines 2010.  I am no Web Developer.  I attended this talk to be able to learn more about the backend of WordPress and Eric Malloy did not fail me.  Here is the reason why:

Today is my brother’s 8th year death anniversary.  In remembrance of his life, his wife scheduled a mass near his grave site.  It was surreal, 8am, and the day started off quite early for me.  Having done my work prior to changing and heading for Greenhills Memorial Park in Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City, I quickly whipped breakfast for my children and took a cab.
