The Big Switch

Dec 23 2009 Published by Alexis under Random Thoughts

Early next year, I will be purchasing a new subscription on a different hosting provider. I plan to migrate a copy of my files to an online backup server prior to switching into a new account for my hosting, just to make sure that if anything fails, I will still have all my files in a safe place. It’s hard to lose them, in fact, I can’t afford to lose them like what happened  before.

This time  I wanna make sure that the databases are safe and the files can be accessed anywhere I go. It may take a few days or so for me to be able to transfer everything, but I will try to do it as fast as possible to avoid any problems. Hmm.. looks like I will be pretty busy these coming days.

Seeking Greener Pastures

Dec 23 2009 Published by Alexis under Random Thoughts

Most of my friends in college have already gone abroad to work or migrate. They probably felt that their future will not be as bright as they want them to be if they will stay behind. They simply followed their parents footsteps of seeking greener pastures in afar away land. Our old neighbor used to tell her grand kids, when you grow up you should take up a medical course just like this person or that person because healthcare jobs are in demand abroad, and it will surely make our lives better. Well, she was right, because many of those older generations used their education in the medical field as their ticket to a better career.
Even my relatives have done the same thing, some have gone to UK, and all other areas in Europe, and some are US based. Then they just come home for a vacation every once in awhile, like during reunions or certain special occasions. I think they have adjusted to the way of living already. But even upon seeing how their lives turn for the better and all the luxury they have, I still prefer a simple lifestyle.

Keeping Safe At All Times

Dec 23 2009 Published by Alexis under Random Thoughts

While on my way to the mall to drop some important stuff, the vehicle that’s three cars away from the one I was riding on got hit by a truck. It was a scary sight. The road was pretty slippery and just coming out from the expressway, the truck probably had brake problems that it wasn’t able to slow down, therefore hitting the car in front. The car’s driver was too shocked to even avoid the impact because the traffic sign was already on its warning state, so he slowed down. Never did he expect that such accident can happen to him and his wife just days before Christmas.

Accidents can happen anytime, and for someone who seems to be so accident prone, I try to as much as possible, keep myself safe all the time by staying away from possible danger. But there are times that we really can’t avoid them, either caused by external factors or simply by our own doing. Well, I guess it is pretty normal for people to commit mistake, that’s why precaution signs and safety products exist. Like what people always say, it’s better safe than sorry. So, just to avoid any mishaps, always be prepared for the worst possible situations and try to implement safety and security measures at all times.

Heroes Of Gaia

Dec 20 2009 Published by Alexis under Random Thoughts


Heroes Of Gaia is my newest addiction for the moment. I’ve been playing it for a few days now, although I’ve just switched from the Atlas server to the new Zeus server. It’s good that someone told me about this game coz I don’t really have anything to do. Besides, I find this much better than going out — not that I’m a gaming freak or whatever, but this game brings me back to the Heroes of Might and Magic days.
‘Heroes of Gaia’ is a free to play online game, and it’s quite simple to play, though a little lag at times, perhaps because it’s still on it’s beta stage. You gotta try it too…
