I'm back… Again…

So it’s been a while since I last posted on my blog and I don’t really know how to start. I just got so busy for the past few months because of the work, family and other stuffs. But finally I now have the luxury of time to write some stuffs.

So here are some updates, my son is more than a year old! Yeah!!! And he’s growing fast, he loves to walk, loves to play basketball, loves to read (or atleast look at the pics on the book), loves to watch. He surprises me in so many ways like the one that happened last Sunday where in we were at a Mall in Pampanga and went to a Home Depot because we were looking for tiles and stuffs for the house when a fluorescent bulb fell accidentally. My son surprisingly said “got ka!” (Lagot Ka!) while looking to the salesman who was near the broken bulb, we got surprised when he said that and laughed because we didn’t really expect him to do that.

I’m not a hip-hop fan but I’m now appreciating Rap Music because of the Fliptop Battles I’ve watched in Youtube. So for those who haven’t seen those videos, you can see them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/fliptopbattle

On the search engine part, I know this is a bit late but Google Instant is here, but it can be turned off if you get pissed on the automatic results that are showing. I personally prefer the old way of searching but hey, it’s Google and I think they made it to improve the search experience… I heard that there will be another change by the end of the month or on the first week of October… So Let’s see…
