Everytime I log in, I am prompted that I can now upgrade my WP. Lazy that I am, I’ve ignored it for 2 version upgrades. I was simply too lazy to back up my files. This morning, Vannie was asking me about the upgrade and I had no idea what to answer so I decided to upgrade both my blogs. I could have at least a decent answer to anyone who will ask again.

I upgraded berryscrappy first just to be on the safe side. I’m more willing to give my scrap blog than this blog. Hahaha.

I encountered “Database Upgrade Required” error during the WP upgrade. I thought to myself that geez I’ve screwed up as I have predicted. So I scanned the wp support forum and all of which (that I cared to check) were still unresolved. I decided to check the upgrade.php file. I did something that seems logical. I changed ‘url’ to ‘http://berryscrappy.com‘ and tried reloading the page. Well, it worked for me. So I posted what I did on the forum. Hope it helps others too. Although I’m still uncertain that this is the right solution.

I upgraded this blog next. And I now receive comment moderation emails, which for reason I still do not know I do not receive since I got my (bloggerhappy) domain. I plan to install the comment responder plugin soon. All right!

I was not close to my father while growing up. But now that I am mature, I realized that I did not dislike him, I only disliked that he did not approved most of what I did. I am so lucky that the very first time he met my hubby (akyat ng ligaw), he liked him. In fact, he stayed in our sala to chat which he never did with any other guy who came to visit our house. Obviously, he approved of him. In fact, after the announcement party (pamanhikan), it was very obvious that he really like hubby’s family.

Lately, we noticed that my daughter give him so much joy. So as a good daughter (ok ok my mom and siblings may disagree with me being a good daughter now, hahaha), I try to bring Mikee to my parents’ house every week.

Anyway, last night, to celebrate mothers’ day, we had dinner with them. Sharing some pics of Mikee with her Papa Al.

Note: Do you know Juan Rodrigo (Amante, Clara’s father in Mara Clara)? He’s my father’s cousin.

I’m tagging Farah, Gracie, Joanne, and Yvelle.

Last Friday, I chanced upon a digital printing shop. I was so happy to see that their photo books are so nice. I thought it’s high time I have my digiscraps printed. So I inquired about the price and of their discounts.

But twittermate Aggie told me that I can find a cheaper alternative in Quiapo. Even in college, I know one can find the best buys in Quiapo. Aspiring photographers go there, specifically in Hidalgo, for the best yet cheap DSLR’s.

Discovering the cheap photo books (I’m pretty sure this is where the digital printing shops at the malls have them printed anyway), I can get it at half the mall price. How cool is that?

When I was younger, one of our playmates who lived next door asked us why our father does not work. You see, my father works for the National Power Corporation. But the men of the families who lived next door (both to our left and right) and across work abroad. This explains why the kids thought our father wasn’t working. Although we’re not the type who shares food like that of I used to see in old movies, these 4 families, ours included, are friendly to each other. All the others in the neighborhood seem to fade away from our awareness.

Anyway, just last week I heard news that the husband who lived to our right passed away. He left his wife quite a sum of money. Good thing also that he had funeral insurance. It’s just sad that he will no longer enjoy the fruits of his labor during his old age as what anyone working abroad would plan to.

It may seem logical to save for the future but we have to balance life so that we enjoy some now, and some later.
