Equalizer Edward Woodward Dies
Monday, November 16th, 2009Edward Woodward, actor of Equalizer, a popular TV series in the 1980s, passed away today in England at age 79. He spoke with an English accent, rightly so since he was a British, in the role as Robert McCall. I used to watch the show but I cannot recall much now except associating his name to the title of the show. Thank you for the entertainment, Mr. Woodward sir. Rest in peace.

Upgraded To WordPress 2.8.6 Security Release
Friday, November 13th, 2009Just upgraded to WordPress to version 2.8.6. Upgrading the blog engine nowadays is so easy. There are two buttons in the dashboard just for that when an upgrade is released. One button is to allow automatic upgrade while the other is for downloading the zipped files for manual upgrading. Most times, I just let it upgrade automatically without even bothering to backup my database and files. There is a risk of getting my files corrupted but I do a daily backup of the database. Should anything happen, I can easily restore using the backup file.

Breakfast For The Mind
Friday, November 6th, 2009The persistent mewing from the cat next door woke me up. It was still dark. I looked at the clock. I could barely make out the hands without my glasses. The long hand pointed to somewhere between seven and eight. Just then, Wuan walked into the room. She was getting ready for work. It must be around 7.30 am then.
I closed my eyes, trying to get back to sleep. I could not. There were one thousand and one things swirling in my mind. Not a good start to the morning. I needed ten hours of sleep to wake up refreshed. I just had six. Wuan was about to leave for work. It must be nearing eight. Sleep did not come still. I trashed about restlessly, my eyes still closed. My right heel ached.
It was still too early to get up. I asked Wuan for the book. A thick one it was. When I first held it in my hand, I wondered if I could ever finish it, remembering that Tuesdays with Morrie was only half read since three years ago. I flipped the pages to where I stopped last. Henry, Clare, dates. I am already one third through now. What that confused me earlier was now keeping me intrigued as Clare began to grow up and bloom into a young woman.
I covered twenty pages this morning. And then I felt sleepy, not because the story was boring but because I had not fulfiled my ten hour quota yet. My eyelids were becoming heavy. I closed the book and went back to sleep. The Time Traveler’s Wife can wait. That was breakfast for me, for when I woke up, I dove straight to lunch. I did not know I could satiate my morning appetite that way. What an interesting concept – time traveling.
