It's Vesak Day

Even if I am not a Buddhist, I would like to join our friends from Buddhist countries to celebrate Vesak day!

I did a little research and found out that Vesak is an annual celebration of all practicing Buddhists which encompasses the birth, enlightenment Nirvana, and the passing, Parinirvana of Gautama Buddha. According to the tradition old celebration, Vesak is also a means to making special effort to bring happiness to the unfortunate members of our society.

I just thought that this is a great way to share our personal riches or anything to share which will bring happiness to everyone is really cool. It's cooler if we can do it every day, right? It's the coolest if it's according to what our hearts tell us.

Enjoy the rest of the Saturday guys!

Saturday is haunting me :)

This is my first time to work on a Saturday here in Manila. Even if I would love to spend the weekends just watching any movie or reading a good book, I just can't. I'm here at the office trying to change all the build stuff of our project just for the modules that I am testing to be completed. I just wanted to get things done already and not cram on the final day I flee this company.

I wish I'd be out soon and go somewhere like Glorieta or Greenbelt (sigh). My housemate went to Manila Ocean Park and my other housemates are having some fun at home. I wish I'm in the comforts of my room and play the very old StarCraft.

I know I have to do this because it felt uneasy knowing that Dec 2 is really fast approaching. Or am I just a worry freak again?

Anyway I am blogging while waiting for the builds to finish after wiring all the module dependencies. I really like Apache Ant (sigh). I hope Apache Ant will prove useful in my future projects because if not, I will be very disappointed why did I have to delve Apache Ant from the ancient scrolls.

Got to sign off here, the builds are making a good progress. Ciao!
