Techie world

April, summer time is approaching, its impossible having straight 8 hours sleep a day on this humid month. we started hearing stuff about the worm Conficker or Downad that scares million people because they are unaware what this worm is. Ttey say that will be triggered on the first of April, ohh well its April's fools day. but what is this worm, why people are curious about this?

DOWNAD aka Conficker is a worm, which originally appeared up in November 2008 that exploits a vulnerability in Windows MS08-067. in february, it added the ability to spread through network shares and via removable storage devices through the AutoRun function in Windows. it can also shuts down security services, blocks infected computers from connecting to security Web sites, and downloads a Trojan.

so to prevent this kind of nasty worm, please update your windows patches together with the latest virus pattern and engine of your antivirus software. this two should work together. also make your passwords a little complex for security purposes. stop making excuses why you disable the automatic update of windows, it will put your machine to compromise.

im really fascinated by this trial version of team viewer utility. its awesome when you do rdp or remote desktop. its similar to webex but its less complicated. im using this when i access my work machine at home ehheh.

glad to visit Proudskin advertisement for the different design of laptop skins. well im kinda envisioning the design ill have for laps (my laptop to be, yehey!) here are just some samples i come across. (nice, right?)

BSOD

i dont know where to start off, ive been skipping writing something here, im in not in hiatus mode but just busy with a lot of stuff. earlier im scared to death thinking that my test machine is all gone, last saturday morning due to a major distress, i kinda do a dumb trial and error. i merged a full malicious registry to my machine. how stupid i can get. im terrified rebooting my machine because i know ill be getting a Blue Screen of Death. oh no, please not on a Monday. No internet connection, services not working and explorer is crashing, so i dont have much of a choice, really.

so i kinda play around, disable a lot of malicious registry keys i know of and resorted into doing a system restore. (whew my savior) so here comes the scary moment, i finally reboot the machine and the first 20 seconds did not get the BSOD. but im panic-striken still knowing that it is not booting to the OS. So i did my last option, last good known configuration...now for the final test. boot again, this time Windows is working according to plan. then suddenly i get an error message. "unable load the system restore, choose another restore point." i did not proceed with another system restore since the services are woking, my internet is back and explorer is perfectly ok. at this point, im drained.

so for the past weeks ive been shifting from one decision to another. i think its very epicene for me to change my mind once in a while. but who cares, its myself anyway. im planning what id really like to have with the right time frame...or maybe im just taking my time for a better execution. well i just hope that things will be easier for me to really have a landslide decision over something, ang hirap kaseng mamili. anyways i know ill figure it out.

powertrip

currently listening to i'm yours by jason mraz, funny ung part that he said "bestest" it reminded me of a college friend in which un ang biruan namen about each other, i missed those days, wherein i have lots of time, fooling around, joking around puro power trippings lang. lately ive nagbabalik ako sa pagfoforum, i realized that it will be a good diversion. soon ill be buying na rin the laptop that im hooting for, it may not be belonging to the top brands, but i think it would be enough for me.

its funny when people are asking for my advices over anything, sometimes i wanna take it seriously that i am better off giving advices as my career, i should trust my guts that im really into this, kaso tinatablan ako ng hiya at bigla akong natatawa kapag naiisip kong baka magaling lang akong mag bigay ng payo, period. following it, thats another matter....pero diba i should walk my own talks, kase dun daw papasok ung credibility mo. (teka ano ba kase ung mga pinapayo mo na minumulto ka hanggang pagtulog mo?) ah ewan..

so ive been dealing with another drama queen friend of mine. she is about to leave her work na pero may mga residue, meaning she has no plans of leaving the baggages, not even considering makipag bati sa kanyang boss. in times like this, i put myself in a "passive mode" listening, kase ayoko namang mabihiran ang judgement ko dun sa taong involve towards my friend's judgement. hinde ko kinasanayang maging agreeable. so dumating sa point that i sounded antagonistic to my friend, hehhe buti nga she did not take it against me. nakakatawa lang na until now hinihingan ako ng payo, kahit alam naman nilang lahat na kalokohan lang ang payo, ang buhay ay hinde kelanman isang rough draft, lahat ay real time. walang dapat paghandaan, walang dapat katakutan, kase parang lahat ay for the first time. pero siguro pinatigas na rin ako ng panahon..teka maling gamit ata un, pinatibay pala ng panahon.

slum

masarap ang mabakasyon, pero nakaktamad ding bumalik sa trabaho after 4-days of no work. i hope i can prolong it pero abuso na ata ako. so what did i do for the past 4 days? honesly i took days off para mag review, and thats the last thing on my list, so i know that on the next days, ill be cramming again.

Slumdog millionaire

so finally after hearing a lot of things about this movie and some would even contest why this movie get the best picture award in Oscar, after seeing this, i would say it is justified and timely that an independent movie like slumdog millionaire will be given a chance to showcase its market value.

slumdog_millionaire_movie_image.jpg

this is a story about how jamal malik, a ghetto kid, who won 20 million rupees, coincidentally the questions asked are the things he remembers from the past. as he said on the movie, "you dont need to be a genius, you just have to know the answers."

Dessert ala Heaven and Egg

Sunday, I prepared hotcake, with banana slices, 2 flavors of ice cream (mango and the other one is vanilla with chocolate bits) on top and bits of sweet coated cone. With P50-P70 worth, i can even sell this at a price of P150. So now i wonder, this might just be a start of my new career hahaha.

BDO bank service

im glad that i enrolled a savings account with BDO. i like how they thought of having all week service, maybe in our branch, but considering that majority of the bank is closed on weekends, this is indeed a plus for them, also processing would just take 2-5minutes of my time. what benefit me most is the internet banking, times when i need to reload my globe number, i just have to go online and tadah, done in less than a minute, i notice how enjoyed i am doing this and only realizing that i spent P800 with reloading online, hahaha. indeed this bank deserves a kudos!

Attention deficit

im beginning to be addictive of Daughtry's music, i like their distinct voices, its a combination of Creed and Lifehouse. "what about now" is playing on my mind, hehhe.

it seems that i really need to get the things that i want for this year, before im seeing it as a form of luxury but now i gotta plan how to avail the laptop im rooting for. i badly need it, its like my long lost other-cyber-half. i have some prospects already, just not enough money, hahhah.

its funny that i am seeing the pictures from Kodak's Send off party in gweilos, whoa, that was how many years ago...but its nice to see old faces, or i should say older faces now, heeh. how i miss these guys, iba ang may pinagsamahan eh, parang beer, nakakalasing silang kasama bwahha.

im kinda swamp right now with the responsibilities that my boss is giving me. alright, yeah i kinda tell her my plans for my career and i do appreciate her helping me out with my thingy, but she always include me on every task on our segment, like literally, no matter how i would like to refuse, she has her way of convincing me..i mean, where do managers learn that?!? i remember her when she said, that good people need inspiration, but better people need a little push. maybe she is right, or maybe im just a total whiner. (why am i making this letter of intent that she asks me to........ohh nevermind!)

in a bit ill be resting, im thrilled being with my pillows, i have to get enough sleep. im gonna pamper my bed by buying a new set of bed covers, oh yeah ive seen one and ill get that this weekend. dont think im being shopaholic again, well at least this time its for a good cause, heheh. u will be proud of me when i say that i am enjoying saving money, enjoying deposting to my savings account, well thats a start, at least for now im saving, right??
