Happy Birthday Kuya Jose! hehe! Today is Jose Rizal's birthday. About 148 years ago, he was born, June 19, in Calamba. He is considered the National Hero of the Philippines. He opened the minds of the people for the countries freedom from the Spaniards colonization.

His famous books are Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, written in Spanish.

Isa ito sa mga artworks kong ilalabas sa mga susunod na araw. Mga painting na mag-iisip ka muna bago mo malaman ang tunay na kahulugan at tunay na title.

"Army Dignify Airmen" Sasabihin mo pa kayang simple ang obra ko?

Hmmm... See! My Globe Tattoo is showing 3G Smart Signal? hihihi! I'm inside IBM Plaza and it seems that Globe 3G cannot penetrate the 7th floor. Well, that's only my case. Not sure of the other IT guys here. Just like any cellphones, the Huawei USB modem can also be unlocked so you can use other sim cards.

I haven't been able to blog or tweet lately. Not because I don't have enough time. I'm good at time management, that is. However, I want something that will enable me to do 3 task at the same time. Like being able to blog, tweet and post status in my Facebook . I found out about Tumblr. Its very simple and pretty. Its just my personal journal so I'm not expecting followers. lol...  I wish I can update my blog with Tumblr too or vice versa...
