"A Beatles Die-Hard Fan" - to Ka Uro & Lisa

Are you? Well, i am for one! They came to town during my college days at SLU in Baguio City, Philippines. Nope, they performed at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila for a limited engagement. We drove (yes Lisa, borrowed my father's '62 VW Kombi back then) all the way down from Baguio to watch their 4 PM afternoon show on July 4 ,1966. The first half of the show was started by an all filipino ensemble Ms. Pilita Corrales, the Reycard Duets to name a few. Second half of the show was all about the Mop Topped band performing their 'Hard Day's Night' collection of songs including " I Want TO Hold Your Hand", "Love Me Do", "Yesterday", All My Loving", "Can't Buy Me Love", "From Me To You", "And I Love Her", "Ticket To Ride" etc.. How many people saw the show that afternoon let me say 20,000 to 25,000 by my estimate. Next performance for them was at 8:30 PM and by that time we were on our way back to Baguio. Aaaah NOSTALGIA!

"Lisa's Dilemma on Comments"







Got to surf the net today... first my daily newspapers then some blogs. Went to Watson's blog and read his Nov.28 post about Global Warming. Titled " an inconvenient truth". I say scary thought but that's the way the world is going nowadays. Coincidentally, while watching OPRAH at 4 PM it was Sen Al Gore who was her guest expounding on this . Hoping with her exposure of the problem we'll get to slow down or minmize the process.

I was reading Lisa's blog for dollars and saw that she was a bit in a quandary trying to hack out this code. Read on and i quote " Also, if you notice, there are no comment texts displayed on Blogger for current posts, just a link stating "# comments" but you comment texts are dislayed in full when you go to previous posts. This bugs me about Blogger. I have been trying to find out how I can hack this code for the past 2 days but have been unsuccessful. I really want comment texts of current posts to be visible to all readers, just like in a Word Press blog."

Please .... Go to your SETTINGS, click COMMENTS....there...click YES on the question SHOW COMMENTS IN A POPUP WINDOW? this of course will put comments in a POPUP window for all or everyday comments ...where you in turn can reply to. then all the way down below after all the questionnaires on COMMENTS .... don't forget to your SAVE SETTINGS.

Hope this Helps. Laters.

"And So A Blog is Born"



















Hello... welcome!
