whew! yippeeee! am back to pure open source goodness... freebsdized my degatto and my everything seems to be faster... am a tad more productive! the biggest reason for switching back was i was able to get my msi cb54g wifi card to work under bsd via the ndisulator... really cool stuff!!

but last week i got stuck with flu, really dreadful as i find myself bored to death with nothing to do but forced to have plenty of rest...

on another front, my wife is nearing her nine month pregnancy and am really, realy excited and worried at the same time...

havent REALLY blogged in a while... most of my recent blog entries were bookmarks to stuff i want to remember reading or for reference purposes later on...

neath the humming of this machine, there are strange moments i feel emotionally drained... could it be the effect of injecting a ton of tech stuff to my brain? or the excitement and anxiety of anticipating a new member of my family? pressure? stress?

funny thing is i always this nagging voice inside my brain telling me not to hold back and just write what i really wanted to write. there's plenty to write about everyday life and i have to admire other bloggers who have the guts to honestly let all their thoughts out. i seem to have built in filter infused with paranoia and a pint of inferiority complex thats making me constantly sanitize what i am about to blog...

the good side is everytime a go home, my daughter would hug and kiss me and say "miss kita dad"... those are moments that makes me go on, to work harder, to dream and have faith that God Almighty will guide me.

as always, cheers!

Sony Pictures - PDA Downloads nice and free...
Go placidly amid the noise and haste
And remember what peace there may be in silence
As far as possible without surrender
Be on good terms with all persons.

Speak the truth quietly and clearly
And listen to others
Even the dull and ignorant
They too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive people
They are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others
You may become vain and bitter
For always
There will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans
Keep interested in your career, however humble
It is a real possession
In the ever changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs
For the world is full of trickery
But let not this blind you to what virtue there is
Many persons strive for ideals
And everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself
Especially do not feign affection
Neither be cynical about love
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
It is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of years
Gracefully surrendering the things of youth
Nurture strength of spirit
To shield you in sudden misfortune
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness
Beyond a wholesome discipline
Be gentle with yourself

YOU, ARE A CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE!
No less than the trees and the stars
You have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should be.

Therefore, be at peace with God
Whatever you conceive him to be
And whatever your labors and aspirations
In the noisy confusion of life
Keep peace with yourself.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams
It is still A BEAUTIFUL WORLD!

Be careful.
Strive to be happy.
