WHEN THET SPEAKS: Unbounded.Uncensored.Unsuppressed.No Rules.No Non-Sense.

After his short stint as a virus support engineer, my brother now works as a network security engineer where majority of his clients are banks and some multi-national company operating within Laguna and EPZA (Cavite). Sometimes, we would bring home some "gadgets" (what you it is really called) and he would explain to me how it is related to FTP. Hmmmm, I can reformat/reinstall harddrive/OS and troubleshoot some PC problems but I simply don't understand what FTP is (though I have already read about it as I look for some options of transferring my blogger posts to my own domain). FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. As the name suggests, FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a network, such as the internet. You can use FTP to exchange files between computer accounts, to transfer files between an account and a desktop computer, or to access software archives on the Internet. Keep in mind, however, that many FTP sites are heavily used and require several attempts before connecting. Brother explained to me further that having an SFTP Server Unlike standard FTP, it encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over the network. It is functionally similar to FTP, but because it uses a different protocol, you can't use a standard FTP client to talk to an SFTP server, nor can you connect to an FTP server with a client that supports only SFTP. Hmmm... sounds interesting huh. Dindo, one of our network and telecoms engineer has talked about this but I just didn't pay attention during that time because I find it too geek. But now that I am regaining my passion for technology, I am trying to learn more about FTP and SFTP.

If not for the free online chat facility I don't think Russell and I will ever meet. We meet in a dating website that's not necessarily for teen chat alone. That is why whenever a friend asks us how we met and how we ended up with each other, I would often tell those silly and childish chat lines that we had. What really technology can bring into someone's life!

I know a lot of friends who went under the knife just for the sake of vanity and beauty. I, on the other hand is really notafraid of it but what I don't want to happen is to regain the "excess weight" that I have after undergoing surgical operation. Yep. You heard it right. Though most people say that I am not really fat, I just feel that my weight 112 lbs. is not proportion to my height (5"1). I used to have a slender body but when I joined the call center work force, my appetite has just zoomed up. It's a good thing though that there is now lap-band ventura. It reduces the stomach capacity and restricts the amount of food that can be consumed at one time. During the procedure your Journey Lite surgeon will use laparoscopic techniques. This means that he or she will be making tiny incisions (rather than a large incision) and inserting special long-shafted instruments through these tiny incisions in order to wrap the inflatable silicone band around the upper part of your stomach. Now this is something, isn't it?

Sometimes while on my way to the office, I just can't help but think of commercials that hit the boob tube by storm. Who is not aware of the LSS (last song syndrome) Sinabawang Gulay (Soupy Vegetable Dish). It took me 2 months before I finally watched that commercial in YouTube. I have Internet Access through my phone and I could have easily browsed any corporate site but I just don't like it's resolution. Good thing I found Avot Media Blog.

Aunt Susan had her last visit in the Philippines.I suddenly felt guilty because funeral is supposed to be a sad reason for family members to get together. But I felt exactly different when I finally met my long lost cousins and the elders of the Uy clan. It was a very awkward thing for me to discuss my upcoming wedding (something that I never intended to discuss) but since the immediate family members of my late Aunt Nida didn't mind talking about it, I got pretty excited as well. Pops, youngest sibling, Aunt Melvin, will be one of our sponsors together with her husband, Uncle Sammy. All of my Pops relatives who were there promised their presence on my wedding, even those who are living out-of-town. My Aunt who is in San Diego has a VOIP system. It was great that she had it just in time when Aunt Nida passed away as she got the chanc to talk with the rest of her sibling for hours, trying to comfort each other. Oh well, I guess that's life.
