Bandwidth exceeded

Published around lunchtime of January 29, 2005

If you visited this weblog yesterday you would’ve seen the standard “bandwidth exceeded” message. Yes — bandwidth exceeded. For the second straight month, I managed to overshoot my bandwidth allocation with hardly a few new entries. I find it really surprising, pleasantly. A good percentage of the traffic pie goes to my personal lyrics weblog, now everything but personal, with hundreds of commenters coming in everyday from the major search engines.

I briefly thought about keeping the site unavailable until the end of the month, when the bandwidth allocation is reset, but I couldn’t just turn down my regular visitors who frequent this weblog almost everyday just to see that I haven’t written for the n^th day, or week. This weblog is alive, but it’s not me writing. New comments are posted almost everyday, especially for the “google bait” entries. Hehehe. If you look at the “Wag na wag mong sasabihin” thread, a few comments are worth noting, providing a different insight on the song we’ve been debating a lot about in the office with my training buddies. But if you would ask me, this is my favorite thread, especially because of this comment.
Love makes the world go ‘round, I’m just so crazy for you.

And since I’ve been writing about bandwidth and this weblog, I’d just say thanks to Abe (Yuga) and plogHost for the wonderful service, my bandwidth limit was upped literally just minutes after I posted my support ticket. Sadly, Abe, plogHost and RP Nuclei Solutions just lost one of its own. Condolences and prayers, may the Almighty bless his soul, and may he rest in peace.

Sino?

Published in the wee hours of January 19, 2005

Gusto ko talaga magsulat, kaso inaatake na naman ako ng halu–halong katamaran at kung anu-ano pang rason.

So eto na lang: Sino ang pinaka-gwapo, si Joey, si Jake, si Sherwin, o si Ramil? Wehehehe, wala lang ako magawa…

Oble

Published just before lunchtime of January 3, 2005

My Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a visit to UP–Diliman to take some photographs of the campus decorations, especially around the Quezon Hall area with the Oblation as the usual subject. This is something I’ve been doing since the Christmas of 2001, the very first month I got my digicam, though for some unexplained reason I couldn’t find the photos from the 2003 holiday seasons. Unfortunately, this year’s design pales in comparison to that of 2001’s and 2002’s. A sad indicator of the state of the State U and the UP budget?

Happy New Year!

Published at around evening time of January 1, 2005

I would’ve wanted to write some funny, happy story for the new year but it’s quite hard to put the mind and heart into thinking that the world is madly rejoicing in the revelries — because it isn’t. As the total lives loss nears 150,000, let us pray for those greatly affected by this destructive tragedy.

There are many ways to help; you can give or simply spread the word.

As humanity moves on, the word tsunami takes on a different meaning never to be forgotten in our memories.
