“If a picture paints a thousand words…”, then why can’t I just blog?!

Header images…
Today is yet another lazy day of being un/deremployed. Taking a break for a while can be quite boring and unproductive. Had it not been for blogging, I’m already insane.
Here is a slideshow and/or gallery of 24 customized header images that I’m using for my personal blog: Courtesy of John Jr.

I like the black and white images because these “gray scales” (not green reptilians) go well with my BLACK background and RED fonts.

.pdf photos…
So I’m testing the upload of 37 photos from 1968 in another WordPress.com account of mine. This account is currently set to private mode. What I noticed is that the upload went SUPER fast!
HOWEVER, the attachment is a link, which can be downloaded and saved on someone else’s computer!!! I don’t like that. I wanted the public to view the attachement in its entirety without saving the file to the computer!!!
If the Matt meister and pals can come up with a work around on this bane, I sure would like to know how to “lock” the image from being copied elsewhere!!! Bah!

The export of documents to .pdf via the NeatReceipts scanner went in the correct order. I would first have to sort the “Document Title” in descending order. But I find that I would have to rotate each side (front and back) in proper view.

Scanning old photos…
So I’ve finished scanning 37 photos from 1968 and 57 photos from 1969. Those are my birth, baptism, and first birthdays. Other photos show me getting my first bath, dancing in my crib, crying in my stroller, swinging in the park and showing off how I could turn on the television and pull out the green-colored metal chairs. I still remember the furnishings and the birthday cake. I usually stick out my tongue.
I used the NeatReceipts scanners to capture double sides: the front showing the photo and its caption on the bottom (handwritten by Paw) and the back showing Paw’s handwriting to describe the event of that particular photographic moment. The only work around in uploading the files is to purchase and upgrade and then to upload the files as .pdf format! The NeatReceipts scanner doesn’t offer exporting to .jpg files, for example.

Hiding photostream…
I’ve NOT deleted my Flickr.com account. Rather, I went through each “set” and “changed permission” so that “only me” could see my precious photos. My upgrade has already expired this month and I don’t plan on renewing it. I believe the links to each Flickr photo is no good; therefore, the images posted via this weblog site won’t be seen. I really do NOT see how I could possibly benefit from posting my personal information online for publication, really.
Think about it.

20110223-Daily Post
This morning Maw had exclaimed: “Oh! Look! My green onions are growing!”
And indeed, I see the green shoots bending towards the sunlight from two of their brick-colored, circular-shaped containers outdoors in the backyard and underneath the open patio.
“Paw! Please stop eating those onions! Your breath stinks.” I hollered as he sat down to put on his shoes at the base of the stairs. His breath has been stinking lately because of this aromatic greenery.
I thought to myself and then outloud to Maw: “Hey! I want “arroz caldo” for tonight’s dinner! Maybe you can garnish the chicken porridge dish with your green onions.”
Below is an image showing almost EXACTLY how Maw’s porridge would look like:
Filipino Arroz Caldo – Lugaw Lúgaw (alternately spelled “lugao” or “lugau”) is the Filipino name for congee. Otherwise similar to Cantonese-style congee, lúgaw is typically thicker, retaining the shape of the rice but with a similar texture.
If I had to eat a particular Philippine Cuisine with anyone, it would be:
One is arroz caldo which is a rice porridge cooked with chicken, ginger and sometimes saffron, garnished with spring onions (chives), toasted garlic, and coconut milk to make a type of gruel. Another variant is goto which is an arroz caldo made with ox tripe.
