Voting on the 'GallardoFN' name

This may sound incredibly impatient, because it is. I am closing the polls on whether or not the name of the podcast/blog should be changed. As of this writing, there are 3 'Yes' votes and no 'No' votes.

I am proposing 'Gabriel's Horn' as the name for the podcast/blog. 'Gabriel's Horn' is a figure which has infinite surface area, but finite volume. Gabriel's Horn is also the horn that the archangel Gabriel blows to announce Judgment Day. I am going to open the polls on this topic, they will be open until the 28th of February. I can see that after a few days no one else votes, so a week should be sufficient.

A Really Long Post: Boracay, Facebook, School Projects, 'GallardoFN' name

I have several things to cover today because I've been procrastinating.

Boracay was amazing! It had the longest, most beautiful white sand beach you could possibly imagine, amazing corals, interesting caves, fascinating fish and glass-clear water. We stayed at Boracay for 4 days and 3 nights. It fulfilled the longing in me to do nothing for several days, we explored 2 caves in the morning of the second day, we also went snorkeling. If you want to do go on vacation to do nothing, I suggest you go to Boracay, the breathtaking view will help you relax.

In case I haven't mentioned it before: I have a Facebook account, I am listed as Gabriel Gallardo. I have also set up a group for GFN listeners and readers, it is listed as GallardoFN. I will be setting up a page on Facebook, but I'll wait until voting for the change of the 'GallardoFN' name is over.

Remember my IS project? It's finally finished! The final report was submitted on Thursday along with the companion documents (project reports, personal assessment, etc.) after hours of work on Wednesday night. I slept at 2 in the morning that night because I insisted that I be stay on holiday.

Finally, I want to encourage all readers to vote! Attention all readers! Please vote on whether or not the name of the Podcast/Blog should be changed. The poll is in the sidebar, simply vote yes or no. The name I'm thinking of is 'Gabriel's Horn' as the archangel Gabriel has a horn. This blog/podcast is about my life, but it is not centered around my family life. I hope all of you out there can cooperate. Voting ends 29th of February. Please vote.

That's all for now, if I can find the time, I should be able to record a show tomorrow. Happy weekend everybody!

P.S. This is the 5oth post.

Here in the Philippines again!

Hey, y'all
I'm back in the Philippines again! I'm mainly here for my grandparents' (on my dad's side) 50th wedding anniversary. And I've also been to Boracay.
My grandparents have their wedding anniversary on the 1st of February, but as my sister and I have school on the 1st, they postponed the celebrations to last Friday (8/2). They had a thanksgiving mass, then a buffet dinner. However, we had a special table where we were served preset courses. The food was great, but I didn't feel like eating much, otherwise I would have eaten much more. The next night, I went out and had Korean food with my aunt and her kids (my uncle wasn't feeling well) and some old friends.
That's enough for one night, Boracay will come in another post.
