Ahhh, such a beautiful thing!
Team Canada’s glory, regained!

Team Finland gave me quite a scare.
They played an excellent game.

Now, to celebrate Canada’s victory,
I think I would purchase the “Official 2004 World Cup Canada Jersey.”

What??

$84.99 ??????

Nevermind.

Stupid Florida Hurricane.

Checklist

Okay, let’s look at my new checklist:

1. Hurricane Bonie (check)
2. Hurricane Charley (check)
3. Hurricane Frances (check)
4. Hurricane Ivan (bring it on!)

I think we’ll just leave our windows boarded
for the rest of the year.

Stupid weather.

Oh well,
at least Canada is “kicking ass” in the
World Cup of Hockey.

Look at the size of that!

It’s bigger than the whole State of Florida.
Quite a monster,
quite a threat,
and the State will get quite a beating.

It will hit Florida so hard, it will see tomorrow, today!

Once the mayor says, get out and evacuate,
make no mistake,
I will pick up my butt
and we are out of here faster than a pizza at a weight watcher’s convention!

Damaging wind gusts,
Tornadic situations,
Destructive floods,
these are threats that I am in no mood to face.

But those are not the biggest threat to me.
The biggest dilemma that we’re facing right now is,

“The temptation of not to eat all our food supply.”

These “ready-to-eat”, “non-perishable” foodstuff is calling my name
everytime the news does its hourly storm update.

The hurricane better come soon,
because my stock supplies are running low.

Stupid Hurricane.

Here we go again!

Hurricane Frances has it’s eye and ready to pound
the State of Florida.

People are flocking down to the grocery stores,
preparing for the worst.

You know what’s worse than having to fight all these people,
and race them to buy your necessities?

Being broke and not able to get as much as you wanted.

If the hurricane comes and doesn’t kill me,
I would probably have a stroke,
and die from worrying too much.

I think these hurricanes are the work of the government,
to keep your mind off the war.

God I hate these terrorists!

Okay, that’s it for now.

I have redesigned the Photos section.
I added a whole lot of stuff, and switched the php gallery to flash.

Thanks to Hotscripts.com and
Slooz for the files.

Plus, I embedded the gallery inside the frame.
I kinda didn’t like the pop-up gallery window thing.
So, anyway, check them out.

I’ll try to add some more next time.
Now, I go to sleep.

And as my son would say,

nayt-nayt.

The Aftermath.

Thank God,
there was no damage on our side of the hurricane turmoil.

Though we had winds in excess of 60 – 75 Miles per hour.
Quite scary, really.

First, I thought 60 miles an hour isn’t really that bad,
but then Tracy gave me this example,

Imagine when your car is going 60 Miles per hour,
and you stick your hand out the window,
Isn’t it hard to control the blowing wind?

Now this Hurricane had a power of greater than 140 Mph.
Sustained.

Wow,
Isn’t that just freaky?

Well, anyways,
Praise God that we were all safe,
and our sympathies to those who perished and were greatly affected.

Thanks to all our friends who called and emailed us,
wondering how we’re doing.

Now, I need to go back and work on the “Photos” section of this site.

As for you,
Here are some cool links.

Storm update!

We’ve got,
Hurricane warnings,
Tornado warnings,
Severe wind gust warnings,
Severe flood warnings,
and involuntary evacuation advisories.

And Hurricane Charley has been upgraded from a “Category 3“,
to a “Category 4”, within a matter of minutes.

Not cool!

I better go through my evacuation check list one more time.

Let’s see,
Baby food, (check)
Non perishable foods, (check)
Canned goods, (check)
Bottled water, (check)
Important documents, (check)
Extra clothes and blankets, (check).

Okay, that’s it for now.
Going to watch some more news updates.

Oops!, better wear some decent pants.

Hurricane

As of 11 am today (I think),
The whole State of Florida is in a State of Emergency.

Hurricane Bonnie and Charley is expected to hit within the next 2 days.
There are warnings everywhere,
and tips on how to survive if worse comes to worst.

Alright! Our first Florida hurricane.
How bad could this be?

I grew up in the Philippines,
where dealing with storms is a way of life.
And Tracy grew up in the South,
where tornadoes flattens towns once a month.

I am sure, we can handle this.

Yeah, that’s how I felt earlier today.
But they show the warning messages on TV, every five minutes,
and consistently show footages of previous damaging storms.
Not to mention, evacuation commenced in the Florida keys,
made us think twice about this.

Where are we gonna go?
What are we gonna do?
Do we have enough supplies?
Do the cars have enough gas?
How am I gonna watch the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics?

See, my worries are a lot different now.
Now that I have a family of my own.

Because when I was a kid in the Philippines,
and there’s a signal no. 3 Storm,
all I was worried about was,

“I hope I still get to play my Atari 2600.”

Music formats

E = MC2 —-> E = MP3

I removed both “WMA” and “RA” formats for the songs.
I don’t see the point of keeping them anymore.
They are just taking up space.

Plus, I believe most Audio softwares are capable of playing MP3’s anyway.
I just put the other two formats for the dial-up users, since they are smaller.
And I feel bad for them to have to wait.

But then I figured,
being a dial-up user is being used to waiting anyway.
(Oh man, I know one friend who is on dial-up, and I ‘m sure I’m gonna hear it now.)

But hey!
If I can wait hours to download other files on dial up,
( ie… software patches, pdf forms, norp .. etc)
I can wait for one mp3 file.

So anyway,
if anyone prefers the songs in the other two formats,
let me know and I’ll post it back.
(Yeah, like anybody reads and listens to this crap.)

But, I know everyone likes to waste some time,
so here are some cool links.

Enjoy!
