Sun Tech Days 2008

To all Java developers out there, ATTENTION:

The annual Sun Tech Days will be happening in the Philippines from 17-19 June 2008 at Makati Shangri-La Hotel. This is now your chance to update your skills and to know the latest trends in Java as well as in other Sun Microsystems products. Since this event will be attended by developers from all over the Philippines, you are also given a chance to share programming knowledge with fellow Java developers and gurus.


Among the topics to be covered in this event are Java FX, Java SE, GlassFish, MySQL, Netbeans, OpenSolaris and many more. What's more? I believe there are many freebies awaiting participants plus if you refer a friend to this event, you'll have a chance to win PSP2!

The last time I attended Sun Tech Days in Manila was in 2004 and I was still a college student at that time. Unfortunately, I got sick the next day (the foods served were so delicious, I'd eaten so much to the point of having EXTREME stomach ache) that's why I missed the chance of getting more freebies and demo CDs :-( This time I'll make sure that I'll get all the freebies I deserved hehehe, just joking :P

I stumbled upon Pinoy Money Talk when I was doing a research about top mutual funds in the Philippines. I joined its forum last week and in just one day of reading its posts I already gained a good insight about mutual funds and other forms of investment. So if you're looking for the best personal finance blog/discussion forum for the Filipinos, I highly recommend this site.

"Aking Mundo" - Dyesebel OST

I really fell in love with the theme song of the newest GMA Telefantasya - Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes. The song was entitled "Aking Mundo" and was sung by Sugarpop's Julie Ann San Jose.

Here are the music video and the lyrics of "Aking Mundo"



Dagat man ay naiiba
Sa lupa n'yang mahiwaga
Ang nais ko, sana'y minsan pa
Makita sya't makasama pa
Tahakin ang kanyang mundo
Na hawak sya habang tumatakbo
Sa puso ko ay nadarama
Na sa piling n'ya bawat sandali'y malaya.

Paano kaya'ng mabuhay?
Mundo n'ya kaya'y makulay?
Puso'y taglay ang tinding saya
Sa t'wing makikita sya.

Dagat man ay naiiba
Sa lupa n'yang mahiwaga
Ang nais ko, sana'y minsan pa
Makita sya't makasama pa
Tahakin ang kanyang mundo
Na hawak sya habang tumatakbo
Sa puso ko ay nadarama
Na sa piling n'ya bawat sandali'y malaya.

Paano kaya'ng mabuhay?
Kung sa iyo'y mawalay?
Ikaw ang daigdig ng aking puso
Ikaw ang aking mundo.

Dagat man ay naiiba
Sa lupa mong mahiwaga
Ang nais ko, sana'y minsan pa
Makita ka't makasama pa
Tahakin ang iyong mundo
Na hawak ka habang tumatakbo
Sa puso ko ay nadarama
Na sa piling mo bawat sandali'y malaya.
