ariellalisan.org – Homeward Bound

I’VE BEEN gone for a while for a lot of reasons. I’m glad because I spent most of time with my family and on some other things I love doing other than blogging. But since I am online now, lemme take this opportunity to thank everyone who greeted me on my birth day.

Here are some of the messages sent to me via text:

Lotie, close friend in college (23:54:47) – Happy Birthday iel! Wla na gd q iban pa nga i-wish pa cmu kundi tani makita mo na gd ang gnapangita mo. Tandaan mo gd pirmi nga ari lang q sa palibot. [I don't have other wishes except that you find whatever you seek. Remember that I'm just here, always.]

THERE IS a Cebuano song entitled Baboy (Piggy). It’s playing in my head now and I feel as shitty as the song.

Baboy
by Enchi

Kung ako’y mahimong baboy
Ihigot sa inyong silong
Kung aduna mo’y kaluoy
Pakauna lang ug tae

Kung ako’y mahimong tae
Ipapilit sa inyong haligi
Kung aduna mo’y kaluoy
Ipakaon lang sa inyong baboy

Chorus 1:
Kung wa na’y baboy
Sa inyong silong
Wa na’y mokitkit
Sa igit nga miipilit
Sa inyong haligi (2x)

If I’m going to be a piggy
You tie me under the backyard
If you have mercy on me
You feed thy shit to me

I HAVEN’T been posting in the past few days because we had been so busy. I am still busy right now, I just sneaked out to post something here.

I was assigned to the interview committee for incoming freshmen and we have been doing our job since Monday. My part is to facilitate the hands-on phase in science. I really love listening to kids explaining their thoughts on the science concepts involved.

At home, I continue preparing the examination for my third year and fourth year students, which will be administered this Thursday and Friday.

WHAT’S WRONG with my Feedburner?

I checked out my feeds on Feedburner and was annoyed with what I saw:

Feedburner displays my feed in its XML format. So how can I encourage readers to subscribe to my feeds with that?

Another thing is the sudden occurrences of misplaced extra questions marks all over my feeds and sometimes within my posts. Could all these be consequences of upgrading to WP 2.3.3?

Googling the answers to these questions is my only hope but so far I haven’t found clear answers.

THE BATANGKALYE has heard many stories about the ZTE Controversy. Now, in time for the celebration of the revolution in EDSA through which Filipinos showed the world that we are hardcore advocates of democracy.

Take a short trip to Batangkalye’s blog to read what he has to say about the issue.
