Give Way to Photo Rock!
January 4th, 2009. Published under People, Photography, Web and Internet, What's Up?. 1 Comment.
After a few months where Photo Rock was launched that was way back months ago (mid-2008), where I started to create a new blog that conforms and elaborate my photographs but later on (late-2008) was destroyed due to a misconfiguration of my server (by the server admins) where I installed the said blog. Basically if you still don’t know about Photo Rock, well yes it’s a collection of photos where I was the one who took them using my very little Cyber-Shot 3.2 Mega pixel digital/mobile phone.
Apparently, Photo Rock didn’t really want to be gone (in any way) but an alternative was made. I manage to redirect (basically 301 temporary redirect) to my Flickr account which is active for about months now. And as of yesterday I started to re-create and manage Photo Rock and yeah its now up and running, ready to face the challenges on the web. I hope you’ll like some of my photos. I know that I am not a pro but yet I could somehow realize and internalize someday (even today) the do’s and dont’s of Photography.
As you may observed, you can see a single widget on my sidebar that provides the latest photo uploaded directly from Photo Rock, but unfortunately it’s not yet working since I couldn’t figure out the problem (maybe with the plugin), but soon it’ll work (I’m currently seeking for a solution by the experts).
I hope this could be a good jump start for me on my photographic skills, please don’t forget (if you got a chance to visit my Photo page) to write on some of your personal evaluation by pulling out a single comment as well placing a rate on some photos (if possible all photos, hehehe). So guys feel free to visit it at Photo Rock.
Thank you and God bless!
New Year Jumpstart

Welcome to 2009 and this year Ox, and according to the Chinese calendar they are found to be steady, plain, and quiet. They arrange things system-atically and they are patient and tireless. They are usually ready to take others advice and act with justice. But it is not easy to change their minds because they are stubborn and sometimes prejudice. Whew.. Pretty nice and smooth but unfortunately I wasn’t born on the year of Ox.
Moving on… It was about 10 hours ago that Google, a top leading search engine, made an update with their famous PR (Page Rank) servicing to most websites (thanks to Kevin Paquet for reminding me), apparently my site was ranked 2 of 10, pretty low but at least my page or should I say my site had acquired a little percent of having my posts/pages indexed unto Google’s search engine.
As for my new years resolution, I couldn’t promise anything since I could easily broke up but at least I have this feeling of reducing my weight and also my tummy belly (which isn’t that fat), and maybe I should keep up a healthy but not thin body. To give that a resolution, I signed up for a contract with Holiday Gym and Spa which I will be starting tomorrow (January 2, 2009). Guess what? I’m pretty excited, new world, new people, new facilities. What could I wish more?
So guys, have a wonderful and a prosperous new year! 
This is still Joseph, saying KEEP ROCKIN!
Happy New Year!

PhilCom DSL
December 28th, 2008. Published under Web and Internet, business. 2 Comments.
Its been days now since I’m here at Mati City and I’ve been also using Philcom DSL since I got home and I could say it really sucks. But before anything else, I like you to meet Philcom.
For your information Philcom is a telephone and internet service provider that expands services over Southern amd Northern Mindanao. Apparentlly, Philcom is only available on such cities like Butuan City, Cagayan de Oro City, Bislig, Iligan, Mati City, that offers “low fees” on such services, (I don’t think so). Just recently about 29 days ago, PhilCom DSL was installed here in our house so as to have a better and faster internet connection which they don’t have. As far as I know PhilCom offers better internet speed than SmartBro since a known internet cafe that is equipped with about 45 computers and amazed with their download speed average of 50kbps which is comparable to a 400Kbps dedicated internet connection.
As far as I know I’ve been using PhilCom DSL for about 6 days now and whew I was not that amazed but really disappointed. Actually, there have been a lot of things I don’t like on their service but yet first and foremost is the promised speed of 384 kbps with a burstable speed upto 512 kbps (which I don’t believe in). Second, customers service support. I need to dial 930 (PhilCom DSL 24/7 hotline) and tell the officer what are the issues we are currently facing and I think they’re not jotting down the number of calls we’ve made, escalation process and if you want to reset your connection you they need to call the IP Center (that’s what they’re telling me), and sometimes the IP Center isn’t available for some reasons, and still with the customer support I think I was talking on the same and or one CSR. They’re voices are all the same. Isn’t that frustrating? Lastly, the connection dropps eventually like using the telephone or gaming. Really frustrating! 
As as of this moment I wrote this post I am offline since the connection dropped out and I cannot contact 930 and phone responds a consecutive faster toot tone. Really bad, PhilCom is really not a good ISP nor telephone provider.
