Hello World II

So I welcome you all to my brand new site. Everything is the same with Asteeg.Net. All the posts that I made there and all the comments that you posted are here. And as I just officially opened this site to the public, I am sure there are some errors that will occur every now and again. An example are the contact forms, they are dead at the moment. If you encountered some problems, you can reach me by commenting at my guest book at the moment.

I want to dedicate this site to my late grandfather who should be celebrating his birthday today if he was still alive. There is a little party for him later in honor of him.

I will update my pages anytime soon.

Is there somebody out there who wants to be hosted here? I am looking for hostees, a couple or three to be exactly. Just be sure to read this.

Got to go, sorry, I’ll update this later. It looks like there is nothing to blog about.

Again, welcome to my new site!

Site-ender Entry

I suppose this is going to be my last post here. In two days time, I’ll be opening my brand new site. I’ll put here the ten most notable things that happened since I opened this site almost two years from now in order of occurrence.

  • I decided to use WordPress as my blogging software since manual blogging is very hard to maintain. Alas, my posts from February 2005 up to early March 2005 were all deleted because I messed up with my WordPress.
  • It was February 13, 2005 here in the Philippines when my grandfather from my mother side had died in the USA.
  • It was my first time to witness a conclave via news.
  • I ended up as the news editor of our school paper for two consecutive years.
  • July 2005, I ran for the Student Council but I did not win.
  • I and my classmates had our retreat back in January. Actually, it is exactly a year now.
  • On February 04 of this year, a big accident happened here in the Philippines. The Ultra stampede occurred back then.
  • March means graduation to me. Well, I landed as the first honorable mention of our batch (without exerting too much effort). I was also able to bag other awards. Oh, IÂ’m not bragging about them.
  • College is a bit freaky. And I hate it. CanÂ’t we just skip college?
  • The seventh of September marks my first serious encounter with death. My grandfather from my father side died. I miss my grandfather so much.

I’m supposed to search my database for the most longest comment, the comment author with the most comments, and the like but as I am very busy and tired because of watching, I can’t. Actually, I’m supposed to be reviewing right now for an exam tomorrow.

I will close all comment forms on January 07, as I want everything in my current database make it to my new home. To all those people who already know my link, kindly update my link. Thanks! However, to those people who wish to know my new link, just use the contact form bellow or post your comment.

Yearend Entry: 2006

I reckon this is my last post for this year as I’m very busy. I have not even finished doing Choice.

Here are the notable things that happen throughout the whole year!

  • I and my classmates had our retreat back in January. The place and food was so great. I really thought I would not enjoy our retreatÂ… and now, IÂ’m still savoring all of the things that we did there. If itÂ’s possible to have a part two (or even a part three) of our retreat, IÂ’ll join! Aww… I’m being nostalgic.
  • On February 04 of this year, a big accident happened here in the Philippines. The Ultra stampede occurred back then. It was the first anniversary of the number one noon time show in the country, Wowowee. Instead of 20 tricycles, some taxi cabs and two million pesos (about $40,000) of prizes at stake. Lives of many people were in danger.
  • I had my first (yeah, first) camping. It was a requirement for graduation. How stupid is that? Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.
  • March means graduation to me. Well, I landed as the first honorable mention of our batch (without exerting too much effort). I was also able to bag other awards. Oh, I’m not bragging about them. Habemus valedictorian! Can’t we have an another conclave?
  • College is a bit freaky. And I hate it. Can’t we just skip college? Haha. IÂ’m still in the “culture shock” mode; IÂ’m having a hard time doing some conversations with my new classmates.
  • The seventh of September marks the death of my grandfather. I miss my grandfather so much. (Please, stop me, I’m getting a bit teary.) I am so glad that I was able to had a grandparent like him. He was so generous to me. I could still remember during my pre-school years that he brings and gets me to school everyday and if there was a new toy available from one of the two biggest fast food chains in the country, he would bring me there and buy me the toy that I like.
  • I had my luckiest day this year back in November when I got PHP 50.00 worth of pre-paid load and PHP 125.00 in cash! My original plan last Friday was that I would only watch the quiz bee so as to support my blockmates and after it, I would go back home.
  • I got a new domain! (I sent e-mail to those people who regularly visit my site about it.)
  • I had my most boring Christmas. As for my birthday, it was not that good but not that bad too.
  • Starting tonight, we are — as how I like to call it — maid-less again.

This time, my favorite entries during the whole year:

Feel free to comment on these posts!

Happy 2007 to everyone!

Not a coincidence

DO NOT WEEP
…Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

Mary E. Frye

How I wish I can take this poem literally.

Five days ago, my grandfather (from my father) had passed away; he is now in heaven with his parents and God. I don’t really know well how and why he died, all I know is that he had a rectum cancer which was detected and removed last year.

I am so glad that I was able to had a grandparent like him. He was so generous to me. I can still remember during my pre-school years that he brings and gets me to school everyday and if there is a new toy available from one of the two biggest fast food chains in the country, he will bring me there and buy me the toy that I like. And during the years when I graduated from playing with toys, he gave me money. And now that he’s dead he still continues to bless and guide me. It was a Thursday when he died, we did not have any classes the following day because here in Pampanga, September 08 (for this year only) was a public holiday. I thought I will be absent on the following day (Saturday) for NSTP and then, I received a SMS from one of my blockmates saying that our instructor was sick! Can you believe that?! Personally, I don’t think that it was only a coincidence. My grandfather wanted me to be on his wake and burial.

I’m sure he is happy now that he is in heaven, that he can only rest.

To end this entry, I leave you a quote…

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

Morrie Schwartz (Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom)
