what truly matters. i'm so enjoying quality time with family.

well I'm going home,
back to the place where I belong,
and where your love has always been enough for me.
i'm not running from.
no, I think you got me all wrong.
i don't regret this life I chose for me.
but these places and these faces are getting old,
so I'm going home.
well I'm going home.

i'm going home..

For patron accounts, I've added one new feature: linkbacks. Any time a Tabulas user posts an entry that links to a particular entry of yours, you'll see it appear in the comment view of a page. This will help you discover who's talking about your entries on Tabulas, and it is a way to encourage you to link to other's posts as well!

I've also started processing Tabulas entries for the "Related" entries feature - for those of you who don't know, this is a magical feature which will try to find "related" entries that you've written. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's not. But it's fun to see what entries will show up

Related entries are processed nightly, so you may have to wait a bit to get related entries. All patron account should have had their entries processed, though.

This entry contained scripting, which has been removed for your safety. Click here to see the entry in its entirety.

One of the bigger complaints I've gotten about the control panel redesign is the lack of accurate hit logging. To that end, I've added back one of the more popular features for patron accounts: viewing your recent visitor traffic logs.

Because of server limitations, you can only view your last 72 hours worth of data, but the data it provides should give you a better idea of where your traffic is coming from.

Check it out in your control panel.

i`m trying to make a comeback. this is a new year and hopefully, i would have more time to do this again. thank you up4grabs for my new template. now im motivated to blog more often. Happy New Year to everyone. God bless us all.

these are the things i promised to do and in fact did this retiring year:

1. get closer to my family
2. give everyone the benefit of the doubt
3. reconnect with old friends
4. always look at the brighter side
5. become a better person

i had my share of shortcomings but i must say that for the most part, i was successful.

people change. we do change. and when people claim that they do, please try to believe. they must actually be given credit for attempting to become a better person. to acknowledge an imperfection is already a struggle.  the effort to reform can even be quite excruciating. and when they have relapse, which would normally happen, please do not judge them. you may choose to be indifferent but you do not have the right to say that they are failures or that inevitably, they will go back to who, what and whence they were.

so here's to all of us who already have resolutions!

this year, i pray that i can:

1. let my guard a bit down
2. try to give unconditional positive regard again
3. avoid mediocrity in my art and in my future profession
4. always be happy (believe me, it is very difficult)
5. become a better person

one year na lang, then i am ready to move on na. if it comes earlier, mas ok.

looking forward to new place, new friends, new challenges.
