Okay, that was an exaggeration but important thing is I got you reading. Now don’t stop just because I tricked you. This tip I’m giving today could potentially save you a lot of time and electricity too.

What I mean is I rarely ever use the Turn Off or Shutdown option in Windows.

Why? Well, there’s no reason for me to.

I use the same programs every day. Visit the same websites. And it’s my personal computer. No one else will actually use it besides me.

So does this mean that I get soaring high electric bills because of an always-on computer? No. Because I use this awesome feature called Hibernation. I even have it set as the default button on my Start Menu.

Note: Some people confuse Hibernation with Standby. They’re two different things. Standby doesn’t really turn off your computer. Think of it as a low-power mode. Hibernation, on the other hand, is a true shutdown but better.

I almost forgot about this. But looking at the wallpaper, I won’t be surprised if I had really completely forgotten about posting this here.

February 2010 – My Percy Jackson desktop (AGAIN!)

The second month of the year saw my return to the professional work life. You didn’t think changing desktop backgrounds would be high in my priority list, did you?

So I subsisted on having this Percy Jackson wallpaper for my desktop the entire month of February. In fact, it STILL is my wallpaper right now and we’re already entering the second week of March!

This week we have concerts from Owl City, Paramore and the Backstreet Boys. Read the top reasons why you should see Miss You Like Crazy. Plus, a special edition 7-Eleven Gulp for the upcoming national elections.

Every day, I scour the Pinoy web to find the most interesting Philippine-related and Filipino-grown articles, tweets, pictures and videos of the week. Then every Sunday, I share my best finds here.

It sure feels like it’s been around far longer than that. But no, it’s only been half a decade. And here I am to share my own bit of personal history with the most popular video sharing site.

I made another huge decision in my life - one that could potentially change my life for better or for worse. But I'm ready and not afraid because He made me feel alive again!
