my personal site

i tried a lot of free hosting sites but i found a better one with only "one letter" attached to my personal domain name. it is still quite better to have really your name like purkupya.com or tabudlo.org as your domain name. i, however, detest paying US$3 .00 or more for said hosts.

what i love about this new free hosting site is it already incorporates a separate page(s) where i can upload music and photos. i can also set the privacy mode of the uploaded photos or music and share it to certain persons of my own choice.

the home page is set to show my default blog/web journal. i can also attached videos, music and photos to my blog entry. and it is so facile to attach picture - it is a "cut-and-paste" thing.

it is also user-friendly especially for guys like me who are not HTML, XTML or whatever savvy. plus it is very Filipino. why? see the address link below.

so i registered and i have a brand new experience writing blog and sharing my precious memories with my family, relatives and friends in this new found host which only accepts personal site - strictly personal.

here is the link to the said site www.jadestone.i.ph

anyway, i still maintain this journal, Single-Minded.

a bottle of Chamdor, cold pizza and hot bibingka for my noche buena

My very first Christmas away from home, away from my family. Though, last year my siblings were not with us during the holiday season, I was with my parents.

Of course, my very first experience to spend my noche buena minus my parents, my brother and my sistah. It was a celebration between myself and my you-know-who. I was so glad that she came. I feared I'll be spending my Christmas alone in the comfort of my little-rented-not-so-ventilated room. How's that sounds to you?

Wanna know my handa for the noche buena?


It was on a bottle of Chamdor, a cold double size pizza for the pizza parlor run out of family size or square pizza early that evening. Cold pizza since I don't own a microwave oven, an oven toaster or any sort of kitchen appliances for heating. (laugh!)



And the main course or whatever you call it is the hot bibingka. It's not what you are thinking for I was with my you-know-who. It's the typical Filipino delicacy that you should not miss during a midnight snack.

To make the story short, I had a Merrier Christmas!
