Year 2009

Before this special year ends, I'd like to recall its best events. So, hang in there. This might be a long post. Well, it all depends on my mood. Hehe. If you see a part two post of this, you'll most likely know what's up with me today.

Hmmm... After knowing each other for exactly one year, we decided to get to each other even more. By "even more" I mean, EVEN MORE. Yep, we went "stupid enough as to marry", just as we always used to say.

In this pic, we've just bought our wedding rings. Not sure if it shows but we're really, really happy that day. (Somebody here keeps giggling like a lil' girl every time he sees this pic. -_- What a coincidence though. He's wearing the same shirt today. O_O) Gosh! I hate this pic (kinda), reminds me how slim I was. T_T

We tried wearing them for the first time. That's the picture to the right. Date was May 23, 2009. At about 5: 40 PM.

Two months later, somebody special came into our lives- "Bibey". I got this result on July 24, 2009. Cute little hamster ^__^. Just like the dad. Can still remember that night when I left him with the ultrasound result of Bibey. I just went out to get something. And when I got back, it was one of the cutest moments, I can remember in my life---it was Lalakeng Blade holding the results, his eyes getting all watery! I teased him a little. He just said he was very happy. Awwww... ^________^

Hmmm... We still dunnoh whether Bibey is a girl or a boy. Guess we'll keep the suspense longer. Bibey is a really squirmy little baby.

That's me in purple during the Yahoo!'s Purple Hunt on July 25 near the Bonifacio High Streets. Not so pregnant-looking yet. It's a not so cherish-able part of my first trimester. With the morning-sickness and the lack of appetite... sheesh!

 Days pass by so quickly. We get to spend time everyday. We love eating late at night and chatting until we can barely keep our eyes open. Of course it'll be a big lie if I say we never argued. Now I know it really is all a part of marriage.For a pessimist like me, I would most probably notice the negative sides of it but hell no! I remember more happy moments than irritating ones. We love buying stuff together. We bought my maternity clothes and I'm thankful he was there when I bought 'em. (I have a bad taste for clothes. -_-)People seemed to approve the clothes we bought. Thanks to the fashionista who accompanied me. =P - Babaeng Blade

Paalam Mininova. Ikaw ay mananatili sa aming mga puso.

So yeah.... Mininova goes legit. Medyo nabigla sa panyayare pero matagal na din akong lumipat sa private tarcker. (bagal kasi ng download sa mininova LOL) Pero sa mininova ako nag simula. Kaya nalungkot ako nung mabalitaan kong wala na ang mga sandamukal ng torrents sa site nila at napalitan ng mga kung anu anung bagay. Eto, basahin mo.

Hi all,

Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.

Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.

We launched our Content Distribution service in 2007. This service allows producers and artists to easily publish and distribute their content for free through Mininova. The launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users. For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so. The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.

We would like to thank you for your support. Especially everyone that contributed to Mininova receives a big “thank you!” for the effort! We hope to keep welcoming you on Mininova and our other projects (e.g. Snotr, Dispostable).

Thanks! The Mininova staff

Weeee! May blog na kameeeeeeeeeee!

Out of nowhere sumulpot sa utak nyang mag-blog. So eto na yun. ^__^ Like what he said, magpo-post lang kami dito ng kung anu-anong bagay na maisip namin. Hmm... as for me, I'll be posting special events in our lives. Siguro siya, eh, kung anu-anong geek stuff ang ipo-post. You will know who is posting because we'll tell you who wrote the post. It will either be "babaeng blade" (-_-) or lalakeng blade (-_-). (Don't look at me like that. The cheesy pseudonyms are all his idea.) As I'm typing this, he's busy customizing our humble blog.

So, I guess that's pretty much it for an introduction. Ciao!
