What I Did When i.ph Was Down

February 23, 2009

Unlike most people I know, my blog is not hosted by blogspot or wordpress or livejournal; rather, it’s by i.ph, which is a local company that’s merely few meters from where I work. It’s been almost two years since I started posting stuff here, and I have no regrets at all because I’ve been given great service almost consistently. The operative word, of course, is almost, as last week my blog was down because i.ph had to deal with database issues. But it’s great that they dealt with it and got things running again without deleting anything that I’ve stored here. It only goes to show that they really do care about their users.

This is what I did and what happened to me during the 2-3 days downtime of I.ph.

1. Played Street Fighter IV and beat the game with Guile and Ryu, unlocking Sakura in the process.

2. Bought two thick computer books and dislocated my shoulder from carrying them home. Okay the latter is a lie, but they’re still hella heavy.

3. Heard horrible news about someone close to me being diagnosed with leukemia.

4. Wanted to rag on i.ph for putting lolcat image on my blog while it’s down because lolcat jokes were overdone and unfunny, but I decided against it. Besides, they were doing their job anyway, and maybe posting the lolcat image was their good intent of getting us to laugh or something.

5. Read and put down Inkheart again. It’s probably the most unexciting children’s book I’ve ever read.

6. Did not come up with something to write about, which is why I’m responding to a meme that I was not tagged in.

7. Twittered.

8. Played Red Alert 3 intermittently and finished plenty of Allied missions. Looked for pictures of its very own Gemma Atkinson whenever I wasn’t playing. Dang, that girl’s hot.

9. Overslept.

10. Went to Greenhills surveying for the latest geek stuff - toys, videogames, comics, books, and anime - but left without buying any. Still, I’d be very happy if anyone would give me Brothers by Yu Hua.

As you can see, things have been quiet here in this boulevard named “my life”.
