Never Knows Best

Current Mood: emo and Sigh

Silent Sanctuary…
So do everyone knows them? Probably some, probably some do not. Silent Sanctuary is one of those newest band that hits the Ph music scene. So what sets them apart from the others? Yep it’s the strings. They are one of the few bands who manages to ensemble electric guitar, bass and drums with a classical violin, viola and cello. Knowing I’m a sucker for strings, I just love the music that is played on these instruments. Then I’ll get emo or something hahahahaha j/k; but seriously I love how this kind of instruments sound, it’s just relaxing and it makes me “feel” the music. Anyway, I happen to stumble upon on this band just months ago with the “Ikaw Lamang” fame.

Gawd, nakakaLSS talaga yung kanta. I love the music esp. the violin, hehehe. Much to my surprise, the promotional video was shot on a public school in Imus Cavite, no wonder I can recognize that big tank thingy on the video’s background. hehehe. Anyway, since I liked their “Ikaw Lamang” song, I also happen to search for their other songs. Then, I stumbled upon “Rebound” on youtube, I was again surprised because I happen to like this song last year but I just didn’t know who sung the song - Silent Sanctuary pala hehehe. I also loved how the violins (+viola and cello) were played, it’s so smooth, grabe idol!!! hehehe

Anyway, while I’m watching the video of “Rebound”, a familiar person (the violista) shocked me… like WTF! I know that person!!! He’s my batchmate in high school and he’s a part of our school’s band back then; he plays the violin. After a few searches I also found out that he composed “Ikaw Lamang”. Pucha, astig mo talagang musikero dude, idol!! Sadly he left the band temporarily(?) to pursue his studies(?) in medicine(?).

Envious…
Shit ang gagaling naman nila. Nainggit naman ako dun. Sila may mga nararating na at bigtime na… eh ako? *sigh* This is one of the reasons why I hate browsing at my friends in friendster, I always tend to compare myself to them and end up blaming myself for being the “loser” in the “game”. Most of my batchmates are already well-established, have their own jobs, and already gaining those achievements in life. eh ako? wala pang nararating kahit alin man sa 3 yan. Hindi bale, at least alam ko may direction na ko sa buhay ko at alam ko darating din tayo diyan ;)

Wordpress…
*blech* upgrades again. For those who are using WP v2.2, upgrade to v2.2.1 now!

2.2.1 is a bug fix release for the 2.2 series. Since 2.2 was released a month ago, the WordPress community has been improving fit-and-finish by identifying and fixing those little bugs that can be so annoying and by fine-tuning some small details. The result is a nicely polished 2.2.1 release. The full list of bugs fixed in 2.2.1 is available here. Here are some highlights.

* Atom feed validation fixes (#4274, #4307, #4381, #4382)
* XML-RPC fixes (#4314, #4329, #4315, #4469)
* Widget backward compatibility fixes (#4275)
* Widget layout fixes for IE7 (#4264, #4268)
* Page and Text Widget improvements (#4302, #4259)

Unfortunately, 2.2.1 is not just a bug fix release. Some security issues came to light during 2.2.1 development, making 2.2.1 a required upgrade. 2.2.1 addresses the following vulnerabilities:

* Remote shell injection in PHPMailer
* Remote SQL injection in XML-RPC Discovered by Alexander Concha.
* Unescaped attribute in default theme
