How Does Binog.net Sound?

I wanted to do this a long time ago. Its simply cool to have your spot on the world wide web - my own domain. This is so out of the blue. I was just going through my inbox and invites in Facebook when I saw hostingphil.com on my page... and the rest was history. Fwahahahah!


Here is the screenshot of my last interaction with Hostingphil. Its really cool because there is this pop chat, the green thingy on the upper right corner. The person on the other end told me what I want and what I need. Good customer experience so far. For the domain, its Php 550 / year. You can pay through PayPal or any BPI branch. Planning to Budget Hosting when I'm no noob to blogging anymore.Thats another 600 bucks every year. Well, seems worth it.

Will be paying for binog.net tomorrow. So looking forward to it. Fahaynahlee!!

Kradison Is Crazy


Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta - Crazy - Feb 12




The finale of Rock My Town with Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, and Allison Iraheta singing to "Crazy."

These three are just crazy, each has an album and are everywhere promoting. A new batch is out and I still can't really find one who really knows what he or she is doing, unlike this three, who knew what they wanted to do from the start.

Over The Drama

I had my intro on my blog as:

Marvin T. Bonifacio a.k.a. Binog is a 6th year student taking up BS Electronics and Communications Engineering in UP Diliman, plus, working part-time in a call center.

Binog equals frustration divided by open parenthesis academic performance plus singing plus writing plus sports plus healthy eating close parenthesis. Simplifying the term, you have breaking free over growing up conservative.

I've decided to remove it, along with a new layout/theme of my blog. Just wanted to make things a little less frustrating, hahaha! But really, taking one step at a time is doing a lot for me. Keep a target but don't let the pressure eat you up. With things happening not so well, I just think of what could do some good. Even if its a losing battle, nobody really knows how things are gonna end up.

Picture here is me after my final interview at UST Global. After less than a week, I was informed that I was shortlisted. Wohoo! All I have to wait for is graduation day. Conditions before contract signing is getting GWA of 2.5 and of course, doing the march! If I pass my subject this semester, I'm at 2.36, haha - borderline, wahahah! If I pass. Its just a month left, and everything is gonna change. Everything is up to me, how everything is gonna end up, so I'm gonna give it my all, this point forward.

To get away from all the stress, here I am, blogging for a bit and doing some changes. Found myself a new theme which has some yellow going on. Cams, workmate at the center, said the lucky color of the year is yellow and white, so here goes the new look. Here are other themes I found and thought were catchy as well:


I still want to create my own theme, maybe when I'm a little less busy. See y'all!

Not So Into Libraries


During my stay in the university (well, not that I'm done with college, its just that its just a bit more weeks, I think...), I can count the times that I went to the library and borrow a book. Let say, not even ten books, not even five. I think that is one of the reasons why I internalized that quality education takes time... Hmmm... Hahaha! But then today, I was forced to grab one. Exams is coming, and  I hardly catch up with the lessons. And there I go, to the Library.

The book that I'm looking for can be found in two libraries. First stop, Eng'g Lib 1. Okay! I found in just a bit, but the thing is, the photocopy machine is gone inside the library. Texted somebody and she said, I had to borrow the book, and photocopy it elsewhere. Big question mark on my head - HOW DO I BORROW A BOOK!?!? Last time I got a book, I had a library card, and now I don't. I was too shy to ask around. I tried looking for familiar faces in Eng'g, but I did not succeed...Did everybody graduate already? Fwahahahah! While I was eating my lunch, without the book, the same person texted me and said, I don't need a lib card - TOO LATE!! I'm outta there! STRIKE ONE!!

A view outside of Eng'g Lib 2

Next stop, Eng'g Lib 2. Confirmed on OPAC, book is on shelf. I went around the whole place but no trace of the book that I'm looking for. Crap! I went around 3 times, still nothing. Saw TK's and QA's but no call number for TS's! Darn! After a while, I got tired and walked around slower. Okay! There was a shelf, with other call numbers!! They are just few. STRIKE TWO!

Okay, found TS's, but no trace of the particular book I'm looking for.  Found Heja, orgmate, in the lib to the rescue. ""Heja, me bobo question ako." It took a lot of courage to go on with my question, but there, I said it out loud. Good thing, a good samaritan was around. Okay, its on the counter! Hahaha! Its in reserved/circulation. Hahaha! STRIKE THREE!

I do hope this is the last time I'll go to that place, please, let me graduate this time!!!
