Where are these kids?

Residents of Barangay Wawa Taguig City are still looking for 2 children that was still missing since last week. Some thought that the kids were abducted and became a victim of child trafficking. The hopes are still high for the parents of the missing children.
Dayne Buenaflor, 3, and James Naraga, 4 were last seen playing with the other children in front of the barangay hall in Wawa, Taguig City. And some witness told the news that these kids were found wandering the streets. The relatives were alarmed when some of the bystanders who last saw these kids said that they were snatched by people in a van on C6 Road.

I am a resident of this city, and Barangay Wawa is a stone's throw to our house. Let's just pray that these kids will be found safe.
The families of these young angels took the extra miles of searching their child by posting flyers on the missing children in several towns, and even published them on facebook.

"This should be a warning to all parents out there, to watch or monitor their child closely especially the young ones. We should never left them on the road. Anything could happen. "

You can call these numbers below, for any information of the whereabouts of these children. 0926-3868241, 0935-6034803, 0908-9764090 and 8385383.
And PLEASE avoid fooling the parents of these children by texting them and asking for an amount of money or even asking them to share a load for them to bring their child back. Remember KARMA is a bitch. You don't want these things to happen on your children or any members of your family.

Back to Blogging. Bye Tabulas.

Well hello there, fellow bloggers. It's been quite some time when I have posted anything on a blog. But as the saying goes, better late than never. So here I am, once again back on the blogging world. I started blogging back when I was in High School, i believe it was during my 1st year in high school. My friend, Donna Carlos taught me the basic of blogging and the art of graphic designing then surprisingly I got hooked. I started my blogging career at Tabulas.com for the sake of expressing myself in the online world plus some basic reviewing of what's in and what's not during those times. Until last week, I heard that tabulas is already closing its doors. They already shut down the domain.
It's very sad and frustrating. I believe, if my memory serves me right, I had a total of almost 1000 blog entries in tabulas which now is just a piece of memory that was once remembered. Here is a peace of message coming from Tabulas in relation to their shutting down the site.

On Saturday (March 16th), Tabulas turned 10 years old. If Tabulas was a person, he'd be a little 5th grader right now. Incredible. Tabulas is older than Facebook or Twitter - an aging dinosaur in the tech world. Over its 10 year period, about 200,000 of y'all shared over two million posts with one another. I continue to be astounded that somebody other than me used Tabulas. On Sunday evening, I got an email from the current owner of Tabulas notifying me he was shutting down the server within 24 hours. He had been losing interest in running his web properties, and had decided to pull the plug two months ago. When he originally told me this, I took some cautionary steps, including doing a database backup to my internal servers, and ensuring media files were saved. Sunday night, I went into the server to do a final snapshot and found it unresponsive. It looked as if the shutdown took effect much faster than expected. Originally, I assumed I could rely on the automated snapshots to bring the site back, but due to a miscommunication between me and my sysadmin, there was never scheduled backups set-up. That means that last snapshot I have is from December 12th, 2012.

I did love Tabulas, well everything in Tabulas, from my followers to our Bosses. Roy, our big boss in tabulas, has always been the father to that site ever since. But I get him, due to the rise of those social networking sites, some blog sites are forced to shut down. I know how hard it is to maintain a site, trust me!

Moving forward, as I continue my blogging experience here in Blogger, I know there will be more to share, more to hear and more to see from me. And this is only just the beginning as I re-open a new slogan for my blog. I called it M-spot. Simply because I am Manoel Gonzales and I am Manoelster. :)

WELCOME TO BLOGSPOT

Well a blogger should be on the place of bloggers. Honestly speaking i did think 200 times about this move. My transfer to blogger. I am a loyal tabulista, my blog resides at tabulas.com, i have been their faithful and active blogger for the past 4 years, i have posted roughly 200 entries. There, i received numerous of praises, critiques, enemies, friends and lessons in life. I started my career as a graphic designer and a web journalist at tabulas. So of course it's very surprising, that tonight, i am already posting my entry at BLOG SPOT. Why?

I think this very moment is the perfect time to grow, expand and well maybe revolutionize everything, from the entries, to the way i post, to the way i express myself and even the way to better networking. Yeah i know, i already have established my name at TABULAS, making me searchable at google, producing traffics on the web every now and then, But who cares? MAybe this move will make me more competent in such ways, making me more known not only here in ASIA but on the whole world as well. NOBODY KNOWS. That is why I will try my luck here. Pushing my luck into another kind of environment was never easy. New bloggers i have to deal. right?. There are many known good bloggers in this site, that is why i want to be on the circle of the best. SOCIAL climbing it may seem, but hell do i care. I go for the best, FAILURE has no room for me, yes mistake came, but i see to it that those mistakes will never outgrew into a failure.

So let's go the blogging proper, i transfered here to blogger, not to leave tabulas. Because i may sound ingrate to Boss Roy, who manages the said site. I created an account here, to be my REVIEW portal. I want this site to be the country's premier reviewing blog site. Review of what? From food to gadgets, to shows ( local or foreign ), or even the best in the world of entertainment, media, technology and the likes.

This day would mark another history for manoelster. I hope that you my fellow bloggers, readers, friends, and colleagues, support me in this move. Make this page, more meaningful and colorful just like facebook and twitter.lol. Make my blog one of those blogs whom you visited always. You'll never know one day i may earn another award, and of course the reason of that achievement is you. Yes YOU! that's all! GOODNIGHT!
