Linking back and related entries

by tabulas | January 6, 2009 | 12:07 PM

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.

Hit logging

by tabulas | January 2, 2009 | 01:35 PM

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.

Okay, so I'm doing a year-ender special too. I'm still ranting about piss though.

Well yesterday after going to Saint Claire's Monastery (or whatever it's actually called), we went to SM Centerpoint to buy some fruits and stuff. After having lunch there, of course, I had to go to the washroom. The lady before me in the line, well, she annoyed me a bit because she was tying her hair up and her hair almost got all over my face. Nothing suss, I tell myself (WTH I'm using Aussie slang now xD). She got in, got out, and annoyed me the second time because she just had to show me that she flushed, meaning, it was still flushing when she got out. I dunno about you guys but I wait until the toilet water's all clean before stepping out of the cubicle. So yeah, I got in next, and whoop-dee-frickin'-do, there was a bit piss on the rim of the toilet bowl. Good thing I asked my mom for tissue before I went to the washroom. It was just... downright disgusting.

Okay, end rant, START SRS BZNS.

2008... hmm. I can't say I liked the year very much. Perhaps I'm only saying this because towards the end of the year, that's when so many things came crashing down. Still, I'm not crying because it happened, I'm ROFLMAOing because it's over. (Yeah, cheap use -- rather, misuse -- of corny quote.)

A lot's happened, though. At the start of 2008 I had the same image as the year before, still resolved to keep my hair long because, you know, girls like their hair long. Couldn't care less about clothing and would put on whatever's handy, though still arriving late at class. Still an anime/manga lover, obsessing over HYDE for all the wrong reasons, but never delving much into J-music. A rather normal otaku, I have to say.

At the middle of the year I got back into writing, RPing to be exact, got to write out some awesome characters (and sometimes I ask myself, why can't I be as [insert awesome adjective here] as my [insert character name here]?), made new OL friends making friends online is awesome. Got even more into yaoi, perhaps a little too much, but all's well that ends well. Received a LOT of blessings, too. Plus, this is when I started obsessing over oshare kei, got my hair cut, and suddenly changed into SUPAA KAWAII VEEKAY LOVAA DESU YO. And then there was the sudden pride due to being a past EIC in my high school's newspaper, all because it had 'The' and 'Gazette' too. If you didn't get it, I'm talking about my ZOMGZFANGIRLIIIING over the band the GazettE. Also started appreciating music a bit more.

And then crash and burn -- enter mild depression, self-pity due to self-analysis, and a whole lot of comparing and envy, most specifically in writing. So many wrong things happened, starting with the death of my iPod, ending with my failure (literally, LOL). Regardless, some things managed to keep my sanity and emotions intact, like being able to write some yaoi stories which, surprisingly, other people actually like, and the new community I belong to.

Above all else, I started feeling His presence a little bit better, though I have to confess I don't read the Bible on a daily basis xD

So many things happened, I can't possibly enumerate everything in here. There was the image change, the new obsession (and going through some heights for that obsession -- talking about spending thousands for a mere magazine, people), gain and loss of friends. Shit happened, and when I say that, I really mean serious shit. Maybe not to me, but to those whom I hold dearest. If I had the choice, I'd like to have started with everything bad towards everything good, December to January. But of course, He had His plans.

Suddenly there's just less than five hours until the new year. It's just another day, really, but once the second hand moves away from twelve, you know there's no coming back. Within that second, you can safely recall things and say, last year was this and that. And now I'm just rambling.

DAMN IT ALL I HATE FIREWORKS. THOSE HELLISH USELESS NOISE POLLUTERS SHOULD BE BANNED. Or at least, the Philippines should invest in quieter and prettier fireworks, like the ones in Japan. Did you know I have a hatred towards fireworks? Now you know. And I can't counter it because neither my Gazette or 12012 or Maximum the Hormone music aren't nearly as loud or annoying as that. Maybe for Mom, it is.

Now to resume headbanging to Zetsubou Billy, because I just learned how awesome MtH is.

bakit kaya....

by inggaydadyeminay | December 26, 2008 | 10:23 AM

may mga taong nakakaawang patayin, nakakapanghinayang naman buhayin...

i am an understanding, considerate, and civilized person.

I will not harm the mentally challenged.

sheez....

I wanna put a stent inside the narrow arteries of your brain so that there will be efficient blood flow and you will be able to think a little clearly like any other human maggot.

after an hour I will be okay.

let's count from one to ten.

to you Pig Headed Individual, who doesn't know how to forgive and use your coconut shell,my Christmas wish for you is a larger, healthier brain with enough cerebrospinal fluid.

Man, I want to see you right now and give you a hard happy holiday knock out!

Trouble

by mayo | December 23, 2008 | 05:48 PM | stickied, favorite

O no, I see,

I spun a web, it's tangled up with me,

And I lost my head,

The thought of all the stupid things I said,

O no what's this?

A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,

I turned to run,

The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

I never meant to cause you trouble,

And I never meant to do you wrong,

And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,

O no, I never meant to do you harm.

O no I see,

A spider web and it's me in the middle,

So I twist and turn,

Here I am in love in a bubble,

Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,

I never meant to do you wrong,

And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,

Although I never meant to do you harm.

They spun a web for me,

They spun a web for me,

They spun a web for me.

Birthday Celebration plus Christmas Party!!!

by shaoran | December 22, 2008 | 04:08 PM

I've had a good day yesterday! I would like to give thanks to my friends I met up--> itachi-kun, Hangman, urumi-chan and natsumi-chan. We have lots of fun than we had last year. This Eb is almost every year plans and it's a routine already. :D It's more exciting this year cuz we went to a karaoke and sing songs. Hangman is probably memorable in this cuz he had urumi had him sing (force) by gay songs. hehehe...-> he's such a nice person.

I sang songs too~! LoL it's a good thing that there's no recorder there because your ears will probably burst out for good. (that's for sure!). Oh and we watched movies too... well... I mean... in a laptop... :D My friends love yaoi so much~! Oh they really really do!!! As much as they wanna hide themselves when I say I'm gonna play the movie boys love. :D

It's great isn't it? I bet when they read this part I'll probably be trown to dumpsite. :D

Now I'm preparing myself in going to the province in Laguna. We had an extra celebration there because my cousin in getting married and they want me as a "abay". It's kinda embarrasing, so my mom had my hair straightened~! Ill post my pic next time... it's quite troublesome going to province this day. My braces begins to hurt again and I need to go in dentist but she's not there? darn...

Anywayz.. Happy Holidays everyone! Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and A NICE NEW YEAR

my japanese name

Kenshou Daiichi
My name was formulated by me and Rei-chan, my half-Japanese friend. The word Kenshou means to win which is Manalo in Filipino. While Daiichi is a compound word of dai and ichi, dai meaning 'great, big', and ichi meaning 'one'. As a whole, it is interpreted as number one. I only inserted the other twisted reason why I had Daiichi as my first name. Ichi means 'one' which sounds like 'Juan', the Spanish version of John, my oh-so common name.
