Today is my 31st birthday!

Thanks God.

We're back here in Qatar. Our vacation was super-fun and we really enjoyed it. It's not easy for me to return my focus in my work right now, I'm still seeing the mountains and sea; the birds and kites; the fish and boat; I sometimes feel like I'm still playing 3 consecutive games of street basketball; walking up to the mountain with Princess and Sean in my shoulders. Oh man...

I'm missing my parents a lot; my brother and sister; all our friends and the places we stayed.

Oh yeah, the food – having breakfast twice, morning snack, heavy lunch, afternoon snack, another heavy dinner and night snack, whoa! You think I gained weight? Well, not much! hehehe.

I have too many stories to tell about our vacation, I just don't have time to write it yet. I’m sure Dimps will share us some of our happenings and adventures. Try to visit her site from time to time.

That’s it for now, back to work for me.

I got a post-valentine’s day gift from my friend Tanc. Here’s what written in the gift wrap:

Here is your old theme made better for Drupal 5. Included is the ability to change the colour scheme! Yes, you can choose whatever gradient, text and other colours you want now, all from Drupal menus!
Upload your theme, select it, configure it and everything should be cool.

Thanks Tanc. I’m very happy to see my old theme back. Thank you very much for keeping up with your promise.

I’m checking the codes right now, how this theme works; your talent is really amazing. You are the best!

Just upgraded this site to Drupal 5.1, as some core bugs and security vulnerability was fixed from the old 5.0 version. Upgrade is highly advisable.

Since there is no database change, the upgrade is pretty straight forward.

Here are my steps:

1. Move sandrorafael.com directory to another directory as backup
   mv sandrorafaeldotcom sandrorafaeldotcom-backup-20070130

I got a letter of invitation from Mr. Alberto C. Dorado, Guidance Counselor; and Jeanette P. Mose, Guidance Head of Philippine School Doha as one of the resource speakers for convocation on career guidance program on 3rd of February, in order for senior graduating students to be guided and assisted in choosing the courses or profession they prefer upon entering a chosen college or university after high school graduation.

I’m now running here the brand new Drupal 5.0. The upgrade from RC2 was easy as I anticipated.

Here are my quick steps:

Wow! Drupal 5.0 just now released! I just spent some sleepless hours last night setting up the RC2; now I’m looking forward for another joyful night in upgrading this site and maybe my other Drupal sites too to Drupal 5.0.

Finally, after some limited time of checking and thinking what to do, I decided to rebuild this website and use Drupal this time instead of my favorite Xaraya.
