READ HOW TO DO IT HERE

We’re on the last leg of the legal hullaballo attached to our marriage. aside from my big move here in
april, mark and i had tied the knot, moved to a new abode, filed for my petition, applied for my ssn, my drivers license. last stop is our interview.
man, fixing all that is a job in itself!
ive tried learning flash & some simple coding and pushing for freelance jobs, problem is, my relatives who want a website dont seem to know what they want.
on top of all the parties, and my new obsession: baking, i havent really much time for myself.
adjusting to married life was pretty easy…mark and i have stayed together in 2005, 2007-8, and now in 2009. i had expected some resistance from my family but they seemed pretty liberal minded about it. Esp my new mother-in-law, who, in the past few years is proving to be one of the most caring women i have ever met.
She takes me shopping a lot but even conversing with her over a cup of coffee in an afternoon is a nice way to relax. She makes a lot of sense. If it weren’t for her, i’d be incredibly homesick for my mom & yaya…altho my mom would probably take this the wrong way should she be reading this. she should know that no one can ever replace one’s own mother.
I bet Mark feels the same about his mom even if they dont agree on a lot of things.
The important thing is, we all constantly learn from each other and are willing to live and forget and love.
This I hope we can imbibe in our children someday and live passionate real lives & not mimick apathetic teenagers from the celluloid screen.

Host Janelle So interviews Lilledeshan Bose regarding use of social networking sites to raise awareness, disseminate news, and spur a global relief effort for victims of typhoon ‘Ondoy’ (Ketsana):

Defined, the online version of Merriam-Webster’s dictionary states:

Information superhighway: a telecommunications infrastructure or system (as of television, telephony, or computer networks) used for widespread and usually rapid access to information ; especially : internet – called also infobahn, information highway

function: noun

date: 1983

Twenty-six years later, I have come to the realization that the information superhighway is now embedded in every facet of our lives. Access to the information superhighway is not a luxury anymore – it exists as a framework to which we share and receive information with each other.

Here are my personal milestones from this year:

1. my mom and I had our first Facebook twitter exchange today
2. at my wedding this year, a photo during the wedding was published a few seconds later
3. updating my status from single to married involved a few keystrokes on the mobile phone
4. checking the balance on checking account can be done on the go: I can either call my bank and use their automated menu, or log in to their web site on my phone
5. I can play Street Fighter with other people online, and also talk to them in real time
6. I can drive around and receive audio notifications from my phone when there is a speed trap or camera-enforced stop light on an upcoming street intersection
7. I can apply for a credit card online, print out a confirmation e-mail that has my account number, and use it the same day at a retail store
8. I can create a calendar event, then share details of the event globally, including last-minute change notifications

Over the span of my lifetime, I should be able talk to my TV and say the word “buy”, then a product materializes inside my nano box, and thus completing a retail transaction from home. No transportation fees. No carbon emissions.

When I walk into my garage space, my vehicle will already have the motor running, seat and fasten a seatbelt over me  automatically, and will ask me where I want to go.

When I have a cat, the pet door of our home will automatically let her in, even when I am not around. The pet door can also sense if my cat wants to go out of the house, and will let her out whenever she wants.
