Einstein’s Unfinished Symphony

Caerberu — Thu, 21 May 2009 18:10:04 +0000

I was watching a documentary today from BBC about Einstein’s life and his works. The documentary is entitled Einstein’s Unifinished Symphony. Einstein was able to unify the relationship between mass and energy in his formula E=MC2, and this paved way for harnessing nuclear energy, among other applications. Aside from unifying mass and energy, he also attempted to unify gravity with the subatomic forces, and he spent the last 30 years of his life trying to solve that. He was not able to finish the equation though, but it had me up my toes in anticipation. That would be really cool if someone could do that. Although I’m not really so well-versed in such matters–I’m not so good with computations–but it’s really an interesting subject for me. I admire Einstein for his perseverance in trying to answer those questions and to satisfy his curiosity.

Gazing at the Sky

Caerberu — Wed, 13 May 2009 16:04:11 +0000

I find it quite relaxing to lie outside at night while gazing at the sky. Watching the clouds move slowly is really soothing. My mind drifts as the cloud drifts. My eyes wander in the darkness around me. This is nature’s pace… Everything is beating. Everything is alive. The stars, the chirping of the crickets, the gentle brush of the leaves against other leaves.

Life is a wonder. The fact that I am here, the fact that I can see all these things, the fact that I am a conscious living being–it’s all a miracle.

I Love You

Caerberu — Tue, 12 May 2009 15:23:55 +0000

Hearing an “I Love You” from a friend made my day. It put a smile to my face and lightened my mood. It really felt good to hear that.

I love you. This is a really powerful phrase.

I love you. It may be a bit overused though.

I love you. What does love really mean?

I don’t know, but it feels GOOD

The Importance of Rest and Relaxation

Caerberu — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:44:40 +0000

After a week’s worth of work, it’s important to spend a day or two for rest and relaxation. Turn off your celphone, spend time away from your computer or any electronic device, and let your life slow down into the natural rhythm of life. Spend it with friends, family, and just enjoy the time.

Rest and relaxation are very important because these will keep you fresh and recharge your energy for next week’s work. It’s hard, if not impossible, to think of work all the time. That would be very draining. Change your pace and do something other than what you do everyday to refresh your mind.

The Fun of Physical Labor

Caerberu — Sun, 10 May 2009 06:08:36 +0000

It’s really enjoyable to work with shovels, bars, and the soil. There’s something good that comes with exertion and being in the heat of the sun that keeps you in touch with reality–as opposed to living the day on computers, TV, and gadgets. There’s something good with perspiring and relying on the wind to keep your body cool. Clouds that occasionally block the heat of the sun at 12 noon feel like such a blessing.

It feels like spring, though there is no “spring” here in the Philippines because it’s only rainy or sunny in a tropical country. You could also say it’s always spring, and it’s always the season for new things to grow.

First Time at the Disco

Caerberu — Sun, 10 May 2009 06:02:15 +0000

It’s my first time at the disco, and I found it an interesting experience. I’m not really very good at dancing, but I realized that it doesn’t take a high level of skill to blend in with the crowd. You just have to remember that you don’t have to be the center of attention, so you can just dance normally. I recalled a statement from one of my friends back in highschool: “bend your knees!”. That was the key to it. Bend your knees to the rhythm. Move with the crowd.

It’s also important to dress appropriately. Appropriately, meaning dressing based on what matches your personality and body structure. A set of clothes that looks good in one person doesn’t necessarily mean its appropriate for you. Wear what looks good for you, and what makes you feel comfortable wearing. Wear something that you feel confident with.

From this day on, I won’t be uncomfortable anymore with going to discos. However, I don’t really think that I’ll be spending much time in such places. For some reason, I feel that I’m looking for something and I can’t find it there.

AW Surveys

Caerberu — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:46:50 +0000

I just started a new website that is dedicated to teaching how to earn from AW Surveys, Maximum Paid Surveys, and other survey sites. Hope you will find this useful and that it will help you earn money online.

I did this one in Joomla, just to be familiar with the content management system. Normally, I use Wordpress and Drupal to set up my sites. Working with this site has given me a basic idea of how Joomla works.

The website is: www.aw-surveys.info | Making Money through Surveys

It’s free to join AW Surveys, but for Maximum Paid Surveys, you have to pay the registration fee but it is definitely worth it. Visit my survey site to learn more.

Thanks Bank of the Philippine Islands

Caerberu — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:13:35 +0000

I’m happy to get my money back, right on time, just as BPI promised.
A week ago, I withdrew money from a BPI ATM machine and it just didn’t come out. Well, it did, according to my friend who was with me–he was wondering why I didn’t get it.
From where I was standing, I could not see that the money had come out. The machine was designed differently from other BPI machines that I’ve been used to. And so, I waited and waited, while the screen flashed for me to get my cash.
What cash?
And then the thank you screen ame up and I knew that something was wrong.
I reported the incident the next day. BPI said that they would return the money after 5 days (since it’s an interbank transaction, my bank is actually Unionbank).
Today, on the 5th banking day after the incident, checking my Unionbank account on the internet, I found that the money had already been returned.
I’m thankful for BPI’s timely response and for their help.

Watch One Piece!

Caerberu — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:23:52 +0000

One of my favorite anime’s is called One Piece. It’s the story of how Monkey D. Luffy strives to achieve his dream of becoming the greatest pirate in the world–the Pirate King. The Pirate King is someone who possesses the great treasure One Piece. The possessor of “One Piece” will have wealth, fame, and power. The original owner of One Piece, Gol D. Roger, said that he left it there at the Grand Line just before he was executed. With this, pirates from all over the world headed to that destination.

Luffy possesses the power of a devil fruit, specifically the rubber devil fruit, which allows his body to stretch. This is his main weapon, and it makes him invincible to guns and most blunt physical attacks.

Along the way, Luffy will meet his crewmates. They are:

Zoro who dreams of becoming the greatest swordsman in the world

Ussopp (The liar who resembles Pinocchio) who dreams of becoming a brave man of the sea

Nami who likes oranges(you’ll learn why later on) and likes money

Sanji (The cook) who dreams of finding All Blue, where all delicious ingredients of the sea can be found.

Chopper the doctor

Robin who dreams of finding the Real History of the world

Brook who is a skeleton, but is still alive because he ate the Ressurection Fruit.

Anyway, I started a new website where you can watch One Piece episodes for free. It’s at www.watch-one-piece.net. I’m currently working on it, and have the latest episode (as of now it’s episode 393). Hopefully I’ll be able to place all the videos there from the first episode. Look forward to it!

Catching up | What a nice week

Caerberu — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:00:45 +0000

Today, I’m thankful for being able to spend time with a friend before she would leave back to where she’s working. It’s been a while since we had a one-on-one talk, so I really enjoyed th time I spent with her.

After spending time with her, I went ahead since I was scheduled to present in a seminar.
