Setting up sublime as your default editor:

Hello World, I have been using Sublime for months already, and so far it is still my preferred text editor.

Here’s a quick tip on how to set it as your default editor in Ubuntu.

Node and NPM

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 21:43:38 +0800

Hi guys, Node was successfully installed based on my last post but I had problems with NPM(Node package manager).

Here’s what I did, uninstall node and npm, installed it again but with the latest version of Node.

Lesson learned, before installing any software, first search for a guide in installing it with your OS.

Although I have a newer problem. :// socketio can’t be installed with NPM.

root@otoy:/var/www/practice# npm install -d socketio
npm info it worked if it ends with ok

How to install node.js on Debian-based Linux distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc)

1 - Install the dependencies (chances are you’ve already got most of these)
sudo apt-get install g++ curl libssl-dev apache2-utils

Linux Mint Users! this will come in handy. :)

Spending habits

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 21:47:57 +0800

Growing up, my parents taught me the value of money at an early age. When I was in High-school, my allowance was just 20 pesos a day, until my senior year which increased to 30. During breaks, I couldn’t buy snacks worth 10 pesos or more since that would already be overspending. I would just only eat 2 packs of Presto Creams worth 3.50 Pesos each. :)

Time flies, it’s already been 13 months since I entered the professional world, yet still, I haven’t learned how to spend my money wisely. Spending responsibly is probably one of the first hardest trials a fresh grad encounters, especially if you were accustomed to having little money.

The responsibility kinda comes and goes, there are times where I spend like I’m in high school and there are also times where I’m “galit sa pera”.

NOW IS THE TIME TO START SAVIN!

PHP/MYSQL for Ubuntu in ONE command

Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:55:25 +0800

PHP/MYSQL for Ubuntu in ONE command:

I’ve been using Ubuntu as my main OS for quite some time already, but I haven’t ventured into programming with it. Ubuntu is famous for being less “user-friendly” compared to Windows, installing applications are usually difficult for “non-techy” people, you have to go through the command line terminal.

Tasksel is the solution to all of those problems! One command and your good to go, plus it isn’t limited on LAMPP only, lotsa lotsa apps are available.

Have fun!

enchallah:

The Keffiyeh is not a fashion statement. It is a political statement. Know what you’re wearing before you falsely adorn it.

Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the keffiyeh first gained popularity among activists supporting the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel.

Its prominence increased in the 1960s with the beginning of the Palestinian resistance movement and its adoption by Palestinian politician Yasser Arafat. Another Palestinian figure associated with the keffiyeh is Laila Khaled, a female member of the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. These photos often included Khaled wearing a keffiyeh in the style of a Muslim woman’s hijab, wrapped around the head and shoulders. This was unusual, as the keffiyeh is associated with Arab masculinity, and many believe this to be something of a statement by Khaled, denoting her equality with men in the Palestinian armed struggle.The colors of the stitching in a keffiyeh are also vaguely associated with Palestinians’ political sympathies. Traditional black and white keffiyehs became associated with Fatah. Later, red and white keffiyehs were adopted by Palestinian Marxists, such as the PFLP. Today, Palestinian Marxists have virtually disappeared, and red and white keffiyehs are instead identified with Hamas.

The color symbolism of the scarves is by no means universally accepted by all Palestinians or Arabs. Its importance should not be overstated, as the scarves are used by Palestinians and Arabs of all political affiliations, as well as by those with no particular political sympathies.

Unfortunately,

today, this symbol of Palestinian identity is now largely imported from China. With the scarf’s growing popularity in the 2000s, Chinese manufacturers entered the market, driving Palestinians out of the business. In 2008, Yasser Herbawi, who for five decades had been the only Palestinian manufacturer of keffiyehs, is now struggling with sales. The Herbawi Textile Factory has 16 machines. In 1990, all 16 machines were functioning, making 750 keffiyahs per day. Today, only 2 machines are used, making a mere 300 keffiyahs per week. Unlike the Chinese manufactured ones, Herbawis uses 100% cotton. Yasser Herbawis son, Izzat, states the importance of creating the Palestinian symbol, in Palestine, “the keffiyah is a tradition of Palestine and it should be made in Palestine. We should be the ones making it.”.

If you’re going to buy a Keffiyeh, make sure it is made in Palestine or the Mid East. Not China.

Another misfortune,

In 2007, the American clothing store chain, Urban Outfitters, stopped selling keffiyehs after “a pro-Israel activist… complained about the items”, and the store also issued a statement that “the company had not intended ‘to imply any sympathy for or support of terrorists or terrorism’ in selling the keffiyehs and was pulling them”.

And that is why I never shop at Urban Outfitters.

Point being people, know what it symbolizes. It’s not cute, it’s not on sale, it’s not ‘what’s in’ …it’s a support for freedom.

Free Palestine.

Reminds me back then of a time when I had to buy one since reporters from Mindanao were supposed have something with which we could be identified as being from Mindanao.

When I visited a Maranao Muslim trader to buy one, she first hesitated, thinking I would just be wearing it as an accessory (this was a decade ago). And then I explained I was a journalist and why I needed one. Still she was hesitant.

In our exchange she found that two of my first names are Arabic and I wrote a paper on the struggle of the Palestinians (the PLO, PFLP and PDFLP). Seeing that I knew what the keffiyeh stood for beyond being a mere headscarf, she agreed to let me have one. But, before leaving the store, she gave me explicit instructions to care for the keffiyeh and value it as much as I value my Holy Rosary. Since then, I have used my keffiyeh only when it is appropriate.

In recent years the wearing of keffiyehs has become fashionable and in some cases here in the Philippines, men wear them to evoke machismo. But I think very few here actually know what it symbolizes. And fewer still know the groups represented by the colors and the patterns. Many just take them for fashion accessories.

Not so long ago the Keffiyeh or what they call “Scarf” became a fad in CDO. Most of the jeepney conductors would wear em and it became an image close to “Jejemon”.

We should pay utmost respect to culture. Thank you Enchallah for sharing this.

Today in Cagayan De Oro City, Phillipines: the joy of hitting a can with your shoe

Oddly though, we Kagay-anons call this game “bato-lata” or stone and can. Despite the name, back then we would quizzically say: why didn’t people call it tsinelas-lata when you actually use your slippers to hit the can? But I guess the name stuck and up to now, kids there still call it “bato-lata.”

2011

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 00:06:00 +0800

The year 2011 started out with a BANG and ended up like an airplane crashing down full speed.

2011 is probably one of my life’s turning point. I finally graduated college and started living up for my dreams, found a great job in Manila, met new people, and ended with a broken heart. Yeah, f** I still feel the pain, but now I’m more stronger, I guess.

I still thank God for the blessings he has bestowed upon me. My family is safe and healthy (thank God for protecting us from Sendong), I still got my limbs, I ain’t that fat and luckily I got a decent job. I just hope and pray that 2012 would be a better year for me, oh please be.

Happy New Year!

She’s head over heels for him,
and its not that much of a mystery,
the comparison of two states,
the heavenly and the misery.

My heart's still left open

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:35:28 +0800

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never crossed your mind

From If you ever come back by The Script

Wake up call

When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once, you have to say goodbye
