Linking back and related entries

For patron accounts, I've added one new feature: linkbacks. Any time a Tabulas user posts an entry that links to a particular entry of yours, you'll see it appear in the comment view of a page. This will help you discover who's talking about your entries on Tabulas, and it is a way to encourage you to link to other's posts as well!

I've also started processing Tabulas entries for the "Related" entries feature - for those of you who don't know, this is a magical feature which will try to find "related" entries that you've written. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's not. But it's fun to see what entries will show up

Related entries are processed nightly, so you may have to wait a bit to get related entries. All patron account should have had their entries processed, though.

Hit logging

One of the bigger complaints I've gotten about the control panel redesign is the lack of accurate hit logging. To that end, I've added back one of the more popular features for patron accounts: viewing your recent visitor traffic logs.

Because of server limitations, you can only view your last 72 hours worth of data, but the data it provides should give you a better idea of where your traffic is coming from.

Check it out in your control panel.

New gallery management in control panel

Hey everybody,

I've put the finishing touches on an update to the gallery in your control panel - I always felt the new gallery was more confusing than the old one.

This new one should be a lot simpler to use - and it will allow you to manage your images more efficiently (without having to edit each image individually!)

Please let me know if there are any problems.

I hope all of you are having a fantastic holidays.

- Roy

Listen to my little Angels and little Santas

Do you want to be a 'titser'?

Do you want to be a NARS?

GOOD FOR YOU!

A PCMC Outreach Reflection


Hi, I'm Lloyd. I'm 5 years old. I almost lost my life from a heart failure. (My heart has a hole, you see.) I've been here for two months already.

LLoyd's picture when I told him to smile so that he would get better for Christmas
See, he smiled.


Hi, I'm Totoy. (Nakalimutan ko pangalan niya) Ate, bagong tuli ako. *then Totoy flashes his newly circumcized "thing".* (Naviolate kami ni Minette dito sa batang to.)

Hi, I'm Baby _____. I'm two years old. The doctors told me I have only a few months left. I can't eat. I can't talk. I can't say, "Merry Christmas too, Ate" Do you see? The tumor is already ten times bigger than my head.

Hi, I'm Shella. I'm quiet and shy. Please, no pictures. (Ikaw na lang solo) Ate, I want to go to school. I want to go back. I was supposed to graduate grade school. I love school. But then I'm here. I stopped because I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Ate, hindi ako makatayo eh. Sorry ha, nakamask ako. May singaw kasi. Pasensya na. Salamat sa regalo. Balik ka.


And then I lost it. (jill cries in front of Shella.)


Jill, ang dami dami mong reklamo sa buhay. Sheesh.




We fool ourselves sometimes into thinking that life is more complicated, confusing or mysterious than it really is. That life is made up of fundamental truths: that it is in its "simplicity" that baffles us.

WE ARE NOT ALWAYS SATISFIED.

This day taught me that life is a personal journey to which each of us must draw our own conclusions and discover our own realities by discovering the realities of others. (That of these four children I mentioned above.)

It taught me that life is rather an adventure, but we must all see the world for ourselves and accept life for what it is.

He blesses us. Everyday of our lives, he blesses us. Take your healthy body as an example or even the thought of spending Christmas with your family at the comforts of your own homes. Kahit yun na lang ang tingnan natin, okay na okay ka na nga talaga tayo.

And oh, can you help me pray for these children? Imbis na ako maging Santa sa kanila, sila ang naging Santa sa akin. They have been my angels.

I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all, most richly blessed.

A blessed Christmas everyone.

From NSTP to dancing Lolas to Manny Pacquiao to FE reunions and to Akinator

Last saturday, we went to back to our NSTP institution for the first time this sem. I was half awake the whole time cause Miguel threw a party the night before and i was able to sleep for only three hours. Anyway, i never really look forward to saturday mornings because of NSTP. I feel sorry that i feel this way about it but, i really find it as 4 unproductive hours.

Okay, Here's the scenario and the reason why i feel this way. You ask the kids to go there early in the morning to study, something they have been doing the past 5 days. Studying early saturday mornings aren't really words that should be together. I believe that saturdays are for taking back the lack of sleep you inccured the entire week.

Well, actually my point here is if you want this kind of program to be effective, do it during the weekdays. Incorporate it with the curriculum of the school so that the children will see it as a school activity. When it's counted as a school activity, i believe the children will take it more seriously. I know this will work because it has worked for us in High School. In Tulong Dunong, We went to the school of the kids to tutor them every thursday afternoon. We were greeted with smiles and exitement, you could really feel their eagerness to learn. And I guess they were also just happy to know that their next period would be something different, something away from the norm, away from the boring teachers (Maybe. Haha.) for a while. I guess it's unfair for me to compare, but if the program really aims to tutor and help those kids and is not just a requirement then i guess this would be an effective way to do that.

After NSTP, met up with ate we went home to eat lunch. (Mamita's Lechon Kawali. Yum yum. Headache after. Haha) Right after, we went straight to paranaque to meet up with the BLD Youth for our outreach with the Lolos and Lolas. This is actually my first to mingle with the old, i mean to go to an outreach with the old. I had mixed feelings going there. What i had in mind was actually playtime with little kids as it has always been like that for the past years. This was different. I thought i wouldn't enjoy as much. But of course, I'm writing this because I'm wrong. Pinangaunahan ko. It was so worth my time. Nothing really beats the feeling of making other people smile, be it old or young. I was late beause i came from NSTP, so i just joined Mike, Ge, and Jon with their circle. We were just listening to Lolo Emilio. As i was listening i felt contented. I felt happy for what i was doing. I realized then that the time that you give them listening to their stories was enough. It's more than the giveaways, more than the food, more than anything. It's just heart warming, i've been complaining for the past weeks that i still can't feel Christmas, and i thank my Lolas and Lolos for making me feel it. I Thank Lolo Emilio for his war stories, Kahit na mahirap maintindihan yung iba, ang saya pa rin. So blessed, i can't contain it. So much you have to give it away.

On to Manny Pacquiao. He was awesome. That's all i can say. Mabuhay ang Pinoy! I didn't expect him to win actually. The odds were just against him. Weight, Height, Reach and  lot more. But i guess there was one thing i left out. And it  the most important, the heart to win. Woo. Cheesy. But it's true. Haha. Lakas mo Manny!

I couldn't find a picture of his Bilboard in C5 eh. Ang angas nun. I like it.

 

FE 78 had a reunion at home last sunday, and it was good to see them again. We all watched how Manny beat the hell out of Dela Hoya.

I've been addicted to a website lately, it's called Akinator. It asks 20 questions or less and he'll guess the person you have in mind. It's just too bad it doesn't know John Lloyd. Haha. But try it. It's really fun. Just click on the link.

Woo. I need to study accounting. Yummy. My test is on the 16th. Pray with me guys. Let's get it on!

 

 

Currently feeling: good
