Last friday, I was with my lovely fiancee and her side of the family for a weekend getaway. Her auntie from the States just got home and wanted to spend her weekend with her "anaks, manugangs and pamangkins" on a swimming field trip. We started travelling at around 4 PM after work, but unfortunately, my fiancee had to return a company equipment in the makati office which took us forever to go becuase of the short rain wherein traffic jams in every intersection in Manila happened.
At last, we started traversing the road of the SLEX (South Luzon Expressway), which by the way is definitely no match to the travel convenience of NLEX (North Luzon Expressway), and soon found ourselves in a turtle race with the others. Meanwhile, the second batch texted us that they're already at the rendevous point in Petron gasoline station. After 2 hours of pain staking driving in a "moon-like road, we finally arrived at Petron. I quickly grabbed a snack and drove off to the final place.
After a short drive, we arrived at Pansol, Laguna, the "private pool capital of the Philippines". Upon entering a subdivision-like area, two guys approached us and were asking if we wanted a private pool reservation. I quickly said yes and up they go on their motorcyle while we follow them. With 5 different resorts where they took us, we finally decided to settle for the 3,500 pesos (80$) which included 4 airconditioned bedrooms, 1 kiddie pool and 1 adult pool, cooking equipments, a refrigirator and a pool table. Not bad for 30 people. We shot pool till 3 in the morning and went swimming they day after. It was relaxing to unwind outside the busy streets and noise of Manila. I can't wait to come back...

Boxes With Rounded Corners In Your Website using CSS
I just learned a simple but great technique of creating boxes with rounded corners in your website. The basic idea is to get some coulored lines to get the rounded effect. So, just use the HTML code:
And insert it anywhere in the HTML page wether it be in a table or paragraph. Make sure that you also insert the following CSS codes in between the <head> tags:
<style type="text/css"">
div#nifty{ background-color:#CCCCCC; }
b.rtop, b.rbottom{display:block;background: #999966}
b.rtop b, b.rbottom b{display:block;height: 1px; overflow: hidden; background-color:#CCCCCC}
b.r1{margin: 0 5px}b.r2{margin: 0 3px}b.r3{margin: 0 2px}
b.rtop b.r4, b.rbottom b.r4{margin: 0 1px;height: 2px}
</style<
There you go! Instant box with round corners. You can play around with the attributes to achieve your desired preference. I would like to thank www.html.it for providing this tutorial.
<div id="container">
<b class="rtop">
<b class="r1"></b>
<b class="r2"></b>
<b class="r3"></b>
<b class="r4"></b>

To Tip or Not To Tip
Ever caught in a situation wherein, after you have finished that scrumtous meal with an excellent service, then you recieve the bill and you ask youself, do I need to give a tip? I mean, these waiters have their salary right? It's not like they work on a commission basis in the restaurant. We all work for a living and I don't ask my clients for a tip whenever I deliver an excellent report; or a achieving a sales target. Who came up with this idea of tipping anyway?
Just a tought... Good day everyone...
