Happy 4th of July!


Happy 4th of July to my American friends!

I made a new avatar for the message boards that I frequent. It's an elvish translation of my nickname 'jaypee'. It's the one on the left...


I watched 2 movies yesterday. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and Chicago. I found both movies entertaining.Sky Captain's special effects were not that good, but it's an adventure movie, and Angelina Jolie was there, so of course it's great! LOL. Chicago was also a good movie, but I still like Moulin Rouge better.

I'm currently reading Absolute Power by David Baldacci. An online friend suggested the book to me, and so far the book is good.

Yesterday I've been up for about 23 hours (woke up 7 pm Saturday night, worked from 10 pm to 6 am, slept 6 pm Sunday). I've been practicing on burning my own DVD. I ran into several problems, wasted a few DVDs, and finally successfully burned Back to the Future (which my brother downloaded using eMule). But when they tried to watch it, it stopped about 27 minutes into the movie. Ugh. I don't even know what's causing all the trouble!!! >:( I'd probably burn the movie in VCD format. Hopefully it'll work then.

12 days until the next Harry Potter book! I can't wait!

A Way to Track Philippine Peso Bills!

When you fork out that cash to pay someone, have you ever wondered where it will end up next? Will it be passed on to another customer, or will they be used to purchase other stuff? I was counting my savings and was wondering where I spend my money, and that's when the idea hit me: create a way to track it. And by track, I mean follow its movement across the Philippines. Not how I'm spending it lol. PisoTracker.com is the answer. To everyone who is interested in knowing where things are, PisoTracker is a great way to find out where your money is right now. Wait, is it still "your money"? Or is it "theirs" now? Anyway, by entering the serial number of your Philippine peso bill, you will be able to find out if somebody out there got hold of your money and entered its serial number to the site. You will see the date they entered it, as well as the location. It's pretty neat, don't you think? Before I created the website, I did some research and fou

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (No Spoilers)

Yes! I finished reading the book last Monday, early morning. I think it was awesome! We finally got the answers to some of the questions that have been bugging us (or at least me), like why the DADA position is jinxed, Voldemort's background, and of course, who is the half-blood prince. It's a bit shorter than Goblet of Fire, and some scenes felt "rushed". Others say the characters weren't their usual selves on some parts of the books, and I agree. Overall, I think this is better than OotP in terms of "content". But my favorite HP book is still Prisoner of Azkaban. :) **** I'm currently reading Travels by Michael Crichton.

Mozilla!

I really love Mozilla products. I've been using Firefox as my browser for several months now, and it's all pleasure. There are some fancy stuff that it can't seem to do (like glowing fonts), but I'm not complaining. The best thing about it is that it is FREE. The installer file is also quite small, about 4.5 MB, very convenient to download. Try it out! You'll forget you even have IE. If you are using Outlook or Outlook Express and you are hating it, I suggest trying Mozilla's Thunderbird email client. Again, this is FREE to download, the installer is only 5.8 MB, and there's one feature that I totally love about it: you can download RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds to your computer! Are you still with me? I'll give you an example. I download blogs using my Thunderbird program! Blogs! Yes! Isn't that neat? Instead of visiting different blogs, you can download the latest entries right to your computer. It's amazing. But of course, you need
