you see… our usually silent neighbor has this noise on.. the problem with the noise is not that it’s loud. it’s just bothering me because it sounds really creepy (like it’s being played on a mono phone).. arrggh!
Meee

Yesterday, I noticed that my blog was a bit dry.. I decided that what it needed is a new picture. 
Hehehehe!
But nothing seemed good enough on my computer.
Then during my Seminary Class’ seatwork time.. I sat on the floor.. and took pictures of myself.. I honestly didn’t plan on posting it here hehehe! It was just this natural thing I do when I don’t have to do anything –take self portraits.
Now you see how I love pink!
As for my lovely eye bags.. blame it on Bones and Numb3rs.. 
Thankyou 911

Yesterday, I asked my Seminary students to look for people who render service. We’ll be using that to discuss “Charity” this afternoon. I gave them examples like their parents and their teachers.
This morning, while I was at Yahoo!’s website.. I saw this news item about a 7 year old hero who saved his family. As I was listening to the call the boy made to 911.. all I felt was the fear the boy experienced. He was really, really shaken. Yet, he took his sister to the bathroom and called 911. The attackers left without harming them or taking anything from them when they found out that the boy called 911.
That boy certainly is a hero.
I am thankful for all the people who work for 911. They’re really, really selfless. I know they change lives.
Last Sunday…

Lessons in life…
Last Sunday, on our way to church.. we had to stop on a red light near the pharmacy. I noticed a dog being placed in the cooler. Just so that we’re clear.. I don’t like dogs. But I don’t believe that we should be cruel to them. Lesson #1, do not place your dogs in a cooler! How in the world are they going to breath there?
I voiced out my opinion to my family.. which in turn made them look at the family. My mother observed that they were likely going to the beach and were buying sunblock at the pharmacy. Lesson #2 ladies and gentlemen.. when it’s this HOT.. do not go out and burn yourself.
The moral of the story is.. if it’s Sunday.. do not go to the beach. Go to church
“Never forget that you are a child of God”
March 9, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
There is also in our society a sad tendency among many of us to belittle ourselves. Other persons may appear to us to be sure of themselves, but the fact is that most of us have some feelings of inferiority. The important thing is not to talk to yourself about it. All of us cannot be tall, dark, and handsome. All of us cannot be trim of figure or have a beautiful face. The important thing is to make the best of all that we have.
Don’t waste your time feeling sorry for yourself. Don’t belittle yourself. Never forget that you are a child of God. You have a divine birthright. Something of the very nature of God is within you.
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

CSS
March 8, 2010 | Filed Under a Web Developer's Diary, techy | Leave a Comment
I didn’t learn CSS in school but it’s one of my favorite tasks to work with. A lot of my co-workers don’t like working with the UI so I normally get that very exciting task . (It can get frustrating at times [read: IE7] but still.. )
Anyhoo.. today, I am working on a new project that I’m really excited about. There’s this template system that really frustrated me almost 3 years ago. And today, we’re using it again. Yip yip.. I am actually excited to re-learn those stuff..
So, here’s a rundown of the stuff I learned for our “Web Developer’s Diary” series:
1. Be excited about learning new stuff. Let’s face it.. we went into a career that is going to change and update itself every single second. And that isn’t a bad thing. If you’re a web developer.. expect to learn new stuff along the way. If you’re a recent graduate.. please know that not everything you’ve learned in school will make it to your “day to day work” lives..
and
2. “Minimum is the new Max”. haha! I just came up with that line. What I’m trying to say is.. if you’ll be working on the UI.. do not clutter your html page with lots and lots and lots elements when you can achieve the same effect with few elements. Remember that template system I was talking about? Its’ css file is as big as 94,000 .. I removed unnecessary stuff and shrinked it to 80,000 .. not much right? hehe.. but if I get a $ for each byte I saved I can so buy that car I’ve been wanting.. hahaha! The point is ladies and gentlemen.. “keep it short”. There’s a handful of articles talking about shorthand css.. and believe it or not.. those are really, really useful!
I’ll go ahead and give you few examples:
1. 0px can also be just 0
2. #FFFFFF can also be just #FFF
3. spaces between the : and { can also be removed
hehe.. those are the only stuff I can think of at the moment.. but it saved me 14,000 bytes.. it might save you a lot too..
’til our next chika!
fb:multi-friend-selector and fb:comments bug
March 4, 2010 | Filed Under a Web Developer's Diary, techy | Leave a Comment
If you have fb:comments and fb:multi-friend-selector both on one page.. you’ll notice that the fb:multi-friend-selector doesn’t work right. You’ll see the this.form is null error from firebug. No one ever gets selected even when they look like they’re selected.
To make this work.. add the fb:multi-friend-selector to a fb:js-string variable. Next, on your javascript.. add that variable to your multi-friend-selector’s container.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that you add fb:multi-friend-selector using js.. Pretty easy right?
Note: Today is 04 March 2010. Since facebook changes a lot.. this might not be true in the future. But I wrote this for those who are scratching their heads trying to figure out why “this.form is null”.. hehehe! I feel you.
