Last 27 April 2008, I was able to travel to Bataan in my motorcycle together with my motorcycle club, Xplorers Philippines, in order to attend (Day-2) of our club’s anniversary and the election of officers. The election of officers were held at the Transco Resthouse located in Bagac, Bataan.

Before we proceed to the Transco resthouse, we dropped by at the Dambana ng Kagitingan site, at the top of Mt. Samat in Pilar, Bataan for site-seeing and rest stop.

After the elections, we proceed to the town central to have some lunch and thereafter proceeded to Bataan Nuclear Power Plant and West Nuk Beach in Morong, Bataan wherein some of our members took a dip in the beautiful coved beach.

It was my first time to see/visit the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant and lucky for us, we were able to enter the compound briefly and took some pictures because one of our member is an employee of Napocor.

Many thanks to Jerom1 for the access and accommodation he had provided for the club, and congratulations to the new set of officers namely:

1. Jerard aka Arco
2. Randy aka MitlancerGSR
3. Jerome T. aka Jerom1 and
4. George aka Xolo

I had attended the iBlog4 summit which was held last 26 April 2008. It was my first time to attend such event wherein my wife who owned several blog sites, was the one who signed up for me.

Different topics were discussed from several speakers which are very informative and useful for new and old bloggers. Such topics were the following:

• Blogging 101
• Problogging
• PhotoBlog
• Online Comics
• Podcasting
• Blogging in the Elections
• Legal issues
• Filipina SEO and
• Blogging on the countryside (Mindanao)

There were bloggers’ presentation in-between breaks from different topics. Lunch and snacks were provided free-of-charge. We even have free iBlog4 t-shirts before the event ended.

Many thanks to the organizers and the sponsors of the iBlog4 event!

Last Sunday, together with my wife and my son, we had the chance to visit the Batangas Racing Circuit to watch the 2nd round of the local motorcycle races. There are different categories starting from the 110cc underbones (mopeds) up to the superbike (1000cc) class of races.

There are now three (3) different brands of (shall-we-say) the first generations of Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPC) available in the Philippine market.

The first to release was the Asus Eee PC which has at least eight (8) different variants depending on their storage capacities, on-board memory and screen sizes. All of these models have solid-state disk as hard drives in order for the form-factor to become very thin. Most of the Asus Eee PC available in the market have pre-installed Linux OS’s but can be easily installed with WinXP OS’s. All of the models have built-in Wifi, LAN port, external VGA port and some of the high-end models have web cameras. The only downside on the Asus Eee PC is the limited storage capacity which only has 2GB up to 8GB, or you can opt for the top of line model which has 12GB (Windows-based) or 20GB (Linux-based).

The next to reach the Philippine market was the Neo Explore X1 (aka Intel Classmate PC) which was initially intended for the USA’s one-child-one-laptop policy. These have the same LCD screen size from the Asus Eee PC but its hard disk has larger capacity with up to 30GB. You may notice that the form factor itself is sturdy and probably designed to absorb shock and has a built-in carrying holder. It can also be mislead as a laptop toy.

The latest is the Blue H1 ultra-mobile-PC. This is the product i prefer to purchase if based on specifications and price. It already has 1GB on-board memory with 40GB of hard drive, built-in Wifi, LAN port and most of all with a built-in web camera at a reasonable introductory price.
