A Bugged Life

Is it just me or there seems to be a problem accessing Multiply.com if you live in the south and happen to use PLDT myDSL?

It works fine from the office though.

UPDATE: I found that these DNS settings work:

primary – 58.69.254.104
secondary – 58.69.254.106

No problems afterwards.

By tradition, our family always has the Fernandez picture taking session during our January 1 reunion. So this year was no different. Last year we had to come in red. This year in white.

I came in a beige wool shirt and white shorts. The instructions were to come in a white shirt and jeans. Of course not everyone followed. We’re a very confusing family to be honest, which makes it much more interesting.

We’re also a pretty rowdy bunch of cousins – eight children from my lola, all have kids who are more-less my age. That makes family reunions so much more fun. We all grew up looking out for each other.

This is the view from the chairs. If you were in our shoes, could you discern which camera you’d look at? You’d expect some photo direction but our photographers for the day (BVuddy, Tita Angie and Regina) all just decided to do the timed mode all at once and run for our general direction. The camera on the left was timed for 3 seconds. The one on the right for 20 minutes. What fun!

And more confusion above.

Still not knowing what to do.

Here’s the view from the frontline. Notice the confusion still. My dad was screaming “Hurry! Hurry! Before it gets dark!”

Mommy Darling, my dad’s mom whom we all love so much. Believe it or not, she dances ballet.

Simon and Rina (RJ Ledesma’s sister) with their super cute daughter Ada.

The Fernandez French chapter — meet Sylvan and his lovely daughter Sam. He’s married to Cherry, my cousin who’s a vet.

Micah gets bored and decides to eat chips and listen to music.

Bojo gets bored and decides to look at his iPod nano’s photos.

I got bored and decided to take more random pictures.

I always found it more interesting to take behind-the-scenes shots of my family apart from the real family photo. It turns out that my photo direction from the balcony producted one of the better family photos we have. Here it is ..

That’s me, my dad, mom and Angelo my brother with Mommy Darling, our beloved lola. Note that all these pics were taken with an Olympus C-310 Zoom.

When the REAL family picture comes I’ll make sure to post it.

I just got word from the technician that Apple Singapore did a helluva job with the broken logic board issue and decided to just replace the board, along with the stock internal memory as well as the 60GB hard drive.

I love Apple Care.
