To Wii or Not To Wii

So what’s next after getting my overclocked gaming PC… To Wii or to PS3??

I have been constantly thinking if I should get a Wii or a PS3 or even BOTH! For sure I’ll be getting a PS3 for Tekken 6, Final Fantasy XIII and the PS3 Home ( It’s like an online Sims )… Xbox 360… Oh please! PASS! >:)

One think I like about Wii is its interactivity, especially the Wiimote ( I think that’s what its called ). I really like to try the Wii sports, especially bowling and golf! I need the exercise haha! Though the question is will my family enjoy it? Of course PS3 I will enjoy it the most, but the Wii.. will they be patient enough to learn? Well my youngest sister will enjoy it.. my mom… hmmm, dad… uhhh…. ( You get the idea… )

Now, I went to visit Super Smash Bro. website and I was very hesitant at first if I should buy Wii for this. Now… they included Sonic into the lineup, I’m even more interested in buying the Wii this christmas!! Current cost.. more or less 18k X_x

Update: OMG! Just found out it now costs 21k!!! SH*T!!

Honor and Privilege

Majority of catholics would be thrilled even just to take a glimpse of the Pope in person. Some may have the finance to travel to the “Holy Land” to see him on his balcony, others may even have the privilege to meet him in person. On the other hand, most would never ever meet the pope in person in their lifetime.

I had the privilege and the honor to meet one of the highest ranking monks in Buddhism, Venerable Master Hsin Pei (心培和尚 Xinpei Heshang). He is the current Abbot and director of Fo Guang Shan and second in line to Venerable Master Hsing Yun.

He came to Cebu for a special show of the Siddhartha musical that was played in CCP a week before. Sadly he wasn’t able to watch the show in CCP due to schedule problems. In a way, his visit was also a part of the judgment if we will be officially brought to Taiwan to do another show of the Siddhartha musical. There were comments from him that really made sense, but overall he enjoyed the play very much.

As for the verdict…. TAIWAN HERE WE COME!!! Possible schedule is on April or May.

Memories To Last A Lifetime

Waterfront… then CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines)… What can I say, a lot has happened within this year. I would never have imagined I would start to like watching stage plays, and yet I can’t imagine I would even learn to dance in my lifetime!

Now nine months after the Siddhartha project started, I’m still here, happy and glad that I stuck to what I started and never looked back. Blessings perhaps? Probably… but it was all worth it! From waterfront to the world renowned CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippine) where Lea Salonga also played! Nothing can compare the feeling when you step into the large stage in CCP! The feeling that other successful artist has stood on that stage where you are standing. The feeling that you were given a chance to perform on that stage when even other known artists were not given the opportunity to perform there.

I can’t even believe I can now dance!!! (hahahaha)

Okok, it was the most memorable trip I had to Manila. Four days of sleepless nights and aching joints. Four shows to perform and stress to add to it. But the experiences and memories will last a lifetime!! The show did have its ups and downs, but the last show was the best! Everything went right!

One last thing, we were invited to perform in TAIWAN!! Taiwan here we come!!!

Siddhartha Play At CCP!

Well, I’m off to Manila for the Siddhartha production in CCP. I wont be back until Monday and I doubt I’ll have time to access the net in the hotel, if I even get the time to face a PC =) Anyone in need of me, contact me through my cellphone.

Wish us luck!

P.S. I’m a nervous wreck!! X__x

The Art of Saying “NO”

I really have a bad habit of saying “YES” to requests/favors from friends and families, even though my schedule’s very tight already. Though maybe it’s was the way I was brought up or a habit I may have picked up somewhere. Anyway, I usually get more than I bargain for… multiple deadlines to meet on the same day. X_x

For the past few months I have been attending our Buddhist meets on some Sundays. It’s like one of those bible studies but in Buddhist’s settings. Few weeks back we were each given a topic to read and report on from a book given to us titled, “The Carefree Life“. It’s actually a pretty good book on how to live life with less or no worries, how to interact with other people! Basically, everything written on the book describes how one should properly act base on the events unfolding in front of him/her. The attitude of each person determines whether happiness or problem arise.

I’ll post the others as I read through them but for now I’ll be posting the summary of my report… “The Art of Saying ‘NO’“.

Sidebar Module and WordPress 2.3

WordPress 2.3 has been released over a week already and I’m still doubtful if I should upgrade now or wait until the bugs and problems subside. Though I’m tempted to update the other sites I’m managing to 2.3, other than my blog, and see what happens. hehe *evil grin*

Anyway… feeling adventurous, (me?? adventurous!? O.o!? ), I took an old wordpress 2.2.3 test site here in the office and upgraded it to wordpress 2.3 using the Subtle theme I used in my live blog. So far so good… copy and paste folders and files via winSCP, making sure not to overwrite the wp-config.php. Now to install each plugin I used… 30 mins and so far no problems…

Let’s see if SBM works… *ACCKKK! I can’t add sidebar widgets!*
