Living in the Matrix

A lot of things happened during the past few weeks that I havent blogged:

1. I have to review Joomla 1.5 for new sites shaping up.
2. Canyon Woods – Middle East website is also on the queue.
3. Hostingatbp.com gets a revamp thanks to Master Obi Wan Kenobi for Joomla Tutorials.
4. Filipinicars.com is also happening where new/used cars are being updated in a bi-weekly basis.
5. I am still jobless thanks to Dubai Ministry of Interior for their turtle-like approach on processing employment visas.
6. I knew how to go to Burj Dubai – Downtown, passing by on all directions. (btw its a nice place, a community of villas, buildings madinat-jumeirah style)
7. I have downloaded a couple of movies thanks to BitComet and Isohunt and FXG & AXXO. Please do not buy pirated movies ;)
8. Started CCNA video tutorials at home.
9. Kung Fu Panda rocked the whole week making me an avid customer of McDonald's for their Happy meals.
10. Last best thing coming of next post……surely with pix!

I started early around 10:00am (yes this is a very early time for me :P) going to Dubai Outlet Mall, where Al Ahli Group mall management office is located. Joanne was with me so she can roam around the vast mall with few shops. AAG is one of our clients and I installed Forefront Security for exchange (As if it's very hard to install!?!? duhh.. im such a Loser ). We had some misunderstanding about what to install at first because why the heck would i drive around 30 kilometers just to install an application easier to install than WinZIP (Enter….next….next…next…finish)? hehehe…I thought we will install Forefront Client Security which is more tedious to install… Anyway i wasted like an hour installing the OS on their server, and stopped when i was searching for the SQL Server 2005, 32-Bit CD. Which they don't have. Then someone told me that they dont have the FF Client security CD as well, and all they need is the FF for exchange. OK…OK…my bad i assumed and asked the wrong person. Then around 12:30 Joanne and I ate lunch, after eating I finished my job there and we went to Ras Al Khor to window shop cars. Joanne got her license finally 2 weeks back…..mabrouk! We arrived there around 3:30 PM roam around in intense 42 degrees of heat. And stayed there til 7pm chatting with Tita Rosie, managing partner of Manila Cars in Aweer..

It was a really tiring day specially to Joanne who walked like 5-6 hours…..anyway here is her picture with her dream CRV:

Hope you decide carefully…..

And this is me on my dream cooper with a very fat face :

This picture was taken two weeks back with Kuya Raffy and I was also window shopping cars

It has been a quiet week, have done normal routines and nothing really major happened. Along came with is my stupid cold and slight fever, but i guess now I'm ok. Anyways if someone who has read my blog and someone is interested in contacting me, here is my new domain email address:

I hope to have a bright new week ahead of me.

P.S. : Congratulations to my wife for getting her new license. Mabrouk! Please get a car and drive yourself home joke
