Hello blog. How has it been?

Last Sunday, June 23, was supposed to be Go Skateboarding day at UP Dilliman, or so it was. There was an event hosted by Sector 9 and Aloha boardsports but it didn’t push through cause of the “bad weather”. they informed all the participants 1 week prior to the event, and it sucked!!!

First, because the event was supposed to be an annual thing, Go Skateboarding day is celebrated all over the world every June 21. The event was supposed to be like independence day to all skaters!

Second, the new date is on August 21. Yeah IKR, 2 months away from the original date! post post post go skateboarding day. one good thing about it though is that it’s a holiday, but August is 2 months away!!!!! Plus I have a lot of things planned for August. They should have moved the event to July.

Although the event was cancelled, some group of people managed to host another event which was pretty cool. I was supposed to be part of it. But on Saturday night I went partying with my friends. F#ck. i didn’t get drunk that much cause i was taking care of my f##ckd up best friend who was sleeping on the floor already. Lol

So sunday came, and i was at home. No skate for me. Woke up around 8am and totally forgot about the event. Totally missed a lot! Seeing the pictures made me feel even worse. Yet still, I have no regrets. We learn from our mistakes. I spent my Sunday together with my bestfriends at home, and the alcohol continues!

Hello World, I have been using Sublime for months already, and so far it is still my preferred text editor.

Here's a quick tip on how to set it as your default editor in Ubuntu.

Node and NPM

Hi guys, Node was successfully installed based on my last post but I had problems with NPM(Node package manager).

Here's what I did, uninstall node and npm, installed it again but with the latest version of Node.

Lesson learned, before installing any software, first search for a guide in installing it with your OS.

Although I have a newer problem. :// socketio can't be installed with NPM.

Spending habits

Growing up, my parents taught me the value of money at an early age. When I was in High-school, my allowance was just 20 pesos a day, until my senior year which increased to 30. During breaks, I couldn't buy snacks worth 10 pesos or more since that would already be overspending. I would just only eat 2 packs of Presto Creams worth 3.50 Pesos each. :)

Time flies, it's already been 13 months since I entered the professional world, yet still, I haven't learned how to spend my money wisely. Spending responsibly is probably one of the first hardest trials a fresh grad encounters, especially if you were accustomed to having little money.

The responsibility kinda comes and goes, there are times where I spend like I'm in high school and there are also times where I'm "galit sa pera".

NOW IS THE TIME TO START SAVIN!

I've been using Ubuntu as my main OS for quite some time already, but I haven't ventured into programming with it. Ubuntu is famous for being less "user-friendly" compared to Windows, installing applications are usually difficult for "non-techy" people, you have to go through the command line terminal.

Tasksel is the solution to all of those problems! One command and your good to go, plus it isn't limited on LAMPP only, lotsa lotsa apps are available.

Have fun!

The Keffiyeh is not a fashion statement. It is a political statement. Know what you’re wearing before you falsely adorn it.

Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the keffiyeh first gained popularity among activists supporting the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel.

Its prominence increased in the 1960s with the beginning of the Palestinian resistance movement and its adoption by Palestinian politician Yasser Arafat. Another Palestinian figure associated with the keffiyeh is Laila Khaled, a female member of the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. These photos often included Khaled wearing a keffiyeh in the style of a Muslim woman’s hijab, wrapped around the head and shoulders. This was unusual, as the keffiyeh is associated with Arab masculinity, and many believe this to be something of a statement by Khaled, denoting her equality with men in the Palestinian armed struggle.The colors of the stitching in a keffiyeh are also vaguely associated with Palestinians’ political sympathies. Traditional black and white keffiyehs became associated with Fatah. Later, red and white keffiyehs were adopted by Palestinian Marxists, such as the PFLP. Today, Palestinian Marxists have virtually disappeared, and red and white keffiyehs are instead identified with Hamas.

The color symbolism of the scarves is by no means universally accepted by all Palestinians or Arabs. Its importance should not be overstated, as the scarves are used by Palestinians and Arabs of all political affiliations, as well as by those with no particular political sympathies.

Unfortunately,

today, this symbol of Palestinian identity is now largely imported from China. With the scarf’s growing popularity in the 2000s, Chinese manufacturers entered the market, driving Palestinians out of the business. In 2008, Yasser Herbawi, who for five decades had been the only Palestinian manufacturer of keffiyehs, is now struggling with sales. The Herbawi Textile Factory has 16 machines. In 1990, all 16 machines were functioning, making 750 keffiyahs per day. Today, only 2 machines are used, making a mere 300 keffiyahs per week. Unlike the Chinese manufactured ones, Herbawis uses 100% cotton. Yasser Herbawis son, Izzat, states the importance of creating the Palestinian symbol, in Palestine, “the keffiyah is a tradition of Palestine and it should be made in Palestine. We should be the ones making it.”.

If you’re going to buy a Keffiyeh, make sure it is made in Palestine or the Mid East. Not China.

Another misfortune,

In 2007, the American clothing store chain, Urban Outfitters, stopped selling keffiyehs after “a pro-Israel activist… complained about the items”, and the store also issued a statement that “the company had not intended ‘to imply any sympathy for or support of terrorists or terrorism’ in selling the keffiyehs and was pulling them”.

And that is why I never shop at Urban Outfitters.

Point being people, know what it symbolizes. It’s not cute, it’s not on sale, it’s not ‘what’s in’ …it’s a support for freedom.

Free Palestine.

Reminds me back then of a time when I had to buy one since reporters from Mindanao were supposed have something with which we could be identified as being from Mindanao.

When I visited a Maranao Muslim trader to buy one, she first hesitated, thinking I would just be wearing it as an accessory (this was a decade ago). And then I explained I was a journalist and why I needed one. Still she was hesitant.

In our exchange she found that two of my first names are Arabic and I wrote a paper on the struggle of the Palestinians (the PLO, PFLP and PDFLP). Seeing that I knew what the keffiyeh stood for beyond being a mere headscarf, she agreed to let me have one. But, before leaving the store, she gave me explicit instructions to care for the keffiyeh and value it as much as I value my Holy Rosary. Since then, I have used my keffiyeh only when it is appropriate.

In recent years the wearing of keffiyehs has become fashionable and in some cases here in the Philippines, men wear them to evoke machismo. But I think very few here actually know what it symbolizes. And fewer still know the groups represented by the colors and the patterns. Many just take them for fashion accessories.

Not so long ago the Keffiyeh or what they call "Scarf" became a fad in CDO. Most of the jeepney conductors would wear em and it became an image close to "Jejemon".

We should pay utmost respect to culture. Thank you Enchallah for sharing this.

Today in Cagayan De Oro City, Phillipines: the joy of hitting a can with your shoe

ellobofilipino

Oddly though, we Kagay-anons call this game “bato-lata” or stone and can. Despite the name, back then we would quizzically say: why didn’t people call it tsinelas-lata when you actually use your slippers to hit the can? But I guess the name stuck and up to now, kids there still call it “bato-lata.”

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ... But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
