Ang Peregrino will be undergoing a major lay-out change in the coming days. I am reinventing the site to look more like a magazine than a blog.

Please bear with me if links do not work, or the pages will come out weird and images will be blank. I am experimenting with the design. I think this will take about a whole week to finalize.

I promise that AngPeregrino will be better after all this! :-)

Hey everyone! I am now officially part of Blogging Idol 2! (clap clap clap)

UPDATE: A reader gave me a heads up. Apparently, there is a problem with how Feedburner reads the subscriber stats. He said that it’s safer to just subscribe via email instead of the Firefox Live Bookmarks. Subscribing via email ensures that you’re counted as a subscriber. Thanks!

I’m fixing bugs right now.

The search function does not work so I decided not to include it in my template yet until I find a fix.

The search as well as the archives will be back as soon as I find fixes to these.

I ask for your patience and indulgence as I try to improve AngPeregrino.Com for all readers.

UPDATE: I have now integrated LIJIT into the search function of my site. Let’s see how this goes. It’s able to use the power of Google to search my site and earn on the side as well with Google ads. Cool!

Here is a summary of major lessons I’ve learned in my life (so far). I know there should be more but I’m keeping the list to 20 so I don’t tangent to other things.

Read on and leave me a message below if you can relate or if you want to add your own lessons.

1. Faith is believing that something bigger than us holds us in the palm of His hands. Hope is the ability to wait things out for this kind of faith to kick in.

2. If you worry, you didn’t pray. If you pray, don’t worry. But even if you really worry, it’s ok.

3. It will always turn out better. Always.

After thinking about it for a long time, I have decided to move my blog to the Wordpress environment. Blogger has been very good to me the past several years, but I feel that in order for this blog to grow and because I want to host other blogs too (I am transferring Sunprints and will start an Organizational Development blog soon), Wordpress will give me more flexibility than Blogger ever could–including hosting subdomains, future posting, and having more designs available at my disposal.

Just a fun post. One of those quiz things. I have a new name for them: “pocket psychology”. You take the quiz for five minutes, and voila, they give you back your psychological profile in a flash. Well, you’re supposed to take everything tongue-in-cheek.
But having said that, I still felt good after reading the profile this particular quiz gave me.

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you’re told that you’re loved.

Got this from Andi . Her blog’s an interesting read. I just love the way she tries to explain so, uhm, OC-ly (haha! new word Andi!) her adventures (and mis-adventures). Her life, in her blog, is dissected and masticated and squeezed as in an almost empty tube of toothpaste. When you read her blog, you realize that life can indeed be pickled and placed in a bottle; and you can come back to it later on, to eat and re-eat.

Saw Harry Potter this afternoon. It was good and well-made. But more and more, it’s no longer a movie for children though. It has become quite dark and brooding–much like how its title character is turning out to be. This is not a film for the non-Harry Potter fan — if you have not seen the three (four?) previous films, don’t watch this or you’ll get lost in the plot. It would also help if you’ve read the books since many of the things glossed over in the movie are …

I’ve been sick the past days. And as I told my friends, I’ve been “hotel-ling” in hospitals every year for the past seven or so years. When I was in college, I was brought to the hospital for a “fever of unknown origin” which sounded reaaallly bad but was really just a case of hybrid fever. Twice in Cebu, I was admitted for (1) over-fatigue and (2) what I thought was dengue fever but turned out to be typhoid.
