I Heart Kiehl's

I think that it is just apt to write about how this whole skincare and make-up thing came about. Some of you know that I'm straightforward and simple in my skincare and make-up: Oil Control film when my face starts to shine like the planet Venus as it reaches its Greatest Eastern Elongation. My facial regimen is close to nil and I even hit the sack without even washing my face.

Until I met Kiehl's.

Drupal Login with FB Profile

I've documented all the steps on a fresh Drupal install with a Zen custom sub theme. Proven and tested to work on Drupal 6.20 and 7. 1. Enable the OpenID module which comes with the Drupal Core and is disabled by default. 2. Download, upload, and extract in sites/all/modules/ directory: OpenID Selector Module. Drush would be the fastest: $ sudo drush dl openid_selector 3. Donwload, upload, and extract in sites/all/modules directory: Libraries Module. Again, drush-ing it would be the fastest way: $ sudo drush dl libraries 3.

Super-mommy-ing for the past 3 months

Never in my whole married life did it occur to me that I'd be working full-time in an office in Makati. For one, I prided myself on being a 'stay-at-home' mom. Next, I homeschool my children. And the last reason before you dismiss this run-of-the-mill article, I really want to spend as much time as possible with my kids. I want to be there to bathe them, kiss their 'ouchies', ice their bumps, read them classics from Runaway Bunny to the Great Gatsby, cheer for them on their first soccer tournament, fight for them when a kid bullies them off the swing, cook for them, pray with them, help them balance checkbooks, and the list goes on...

Some MySQL Tips

For lack of a better way to categorize my MySQL page tips & tricks, I'm just gonna go random:

How to find out if you have mysql server in your machine: 
$ netstat -lnp | grep mysql
$ ps -ef | grep mysqld

How to add a column to an existing table:
mysql> ALTER TABLE projects ADD project_name decimal(8,0) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER project_type_id;

A Zombie-riffic Morning, A Coffee, A Poem, and Adele

My mood today is a mashup of some sort. Perhaps it's the endless Jack Johnson of last night at Whistlestop. Perhaps it's the long Holy Week holiday. Perhaps it's Adele's Someone Like You or Taylor Swift's Last Kiss or Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's Falling Slowly. Definitely not the usual songs on my playlist but forgive the girl for feeling melancholic. Today is such a confusing day for her.I had about three hours of sleep and I feel like a zombie geek typing away boring arrays of code on my laptop. Here's my coffee for drowning away traces of that dream from last night.

Setting up a Drupal 7 Sub-directory Multi-site on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and LAMP

Setting up a development environment for your website is both critical and time consuming. It is critical because it helps you plan for the future especially in identifying errors and planning for upgrades. It is time consuming because there is no one way tutorial out there to set up the kind of environment you need for your development specifics. This is a personal guide I've made for myself and if it helps you greatly, I'd appreciate a link and/or a comment to this article.
