I now have a Belay Card!

February 28th, 2010 No comments

According to wiki, belaying refers to a variety of techniques used in climbing to exert friction on a climbing rope so that a falling climber does not fall very far. The friction is typically applied by a companion at the other end of the rope who watches the climber at all times and is ready to jam the rope as soon as he sees the climber fall.

I got this from Power UP :D I think this will be my new addiction, wall climbing :) This will be a good exercise for my body since jogging really isn’t my thing. Also good for strengthening upper-body..

Yeah men! I’m a certified belayer! Hahaha :)

Be ready for blisters!

My current addiction: Just Say Yes

February 20th, 2010 1 comment

Just Say Yes by Snow Patrol

I’m running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won’t be ok and I won’t pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand

Just say yes, just say there’s nothing holding you back
It’s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Monitor Problem

February 18th, 2010 No comments

This is the first problem I encountered:

23″ Hannspree HF237HPB HDMI

The other monitor (on the right) has somewhat a yellowish tint covering the entire screen.  At first, I thought it only concerns the monitor setting: the other is just brighter than the other or it has a user setting either it is on cool, warm, nature or on a customized settings. I changed all settings at the same time, making the two monitor have an identical setting. Unfortunately, it seems that I can’t fixed the problem. After that, I resorted to different troubleshooting options and here are my pieces of advice (and what I have done too) concerning people who also will encounter this same problem in the future (assuming that you have just installed only an OS, recognizing automatically the drivers and monitor itself, in this case I have it on dual boot: Ubuntu 9.10 64-Bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit).

John Mayer – Say :)

January 14th, 2010 No comments

Thank you all to my DilNet friends for telling me this very inspiring song.

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ‘em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you could only . . .

Say what you need to say [x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say [x24]

Thank you :D @Randal, @kuyaGerry, @Liz, @Aica and @DilNet :)
