So today, I finally decided to upgrade my laptop to the latest PHP version as of this writing, which is 7.1.4. Now, some people were wondering why they skipped version 6. When I went to the PHP Conference Asia 2015 in Singapore, Rasmus Lerdorf himself told us in his keynote speech that they intentionally skipped version 6 because they don’t want to have PHP 6.6.6. It’s more of a superstition rather than a business/technical decision.
Overnight Bus
Visiting Shirakawa-go village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been one of my places to visit in Japan. The village can easily be accessed when you have a JR Pass. You just need to be at JR Takayama station and from there, you can ride a bus going to Shirakawa-go village. For us though, we didn’t have a JR Pass. So what we did was we booked an overnight bus from Yokohama to Nagoya, then from Nagoya directly to Shirakawa-go village. The bus from Yokohama, which is conveniently located at Yokohama City Air Terminal (YCAT), departed at exactly 12:40am. The bus also offered free neck pillows which was really very convenient on a night bus. We arrived at Nagoya Ekimae at around 6am. The bus bound for Shirakawa-go was at 8am and is located at the Meitetsu Bus center.
Lubo Range, Ngusong Kabayo, Tangwa Peak
Last weekend, I hiked the Laiban Circuit trail in Tanay, Rizal. In this trail course, you get to summit 3 mountains and descent 4 waterfalls. The first ascent is the Lubo Range, then Ngusong Kabayo (Horse’s muzzle), and lastly the Tangwa peak. After assaulting these peaks, you need to descent 4 waterfalls. They say that the difficulty level is 3/10. It felt like 6/10 to me.
When we started from the jump off point, the ascent was already at 45 degrees, passing by the houses of the residents. It didn’t take long when we started to see some sea of clouds.
Last November 2016, my manager wanted to celebrate her birthday in an orphanage. However, since the Christmas season was near already, almost all the orphanages within Metro Manila were full already. We saw the Tribes & Island tour by Mad Travel PH about an outreach in an Aeta village in Yangil, Zambales.
Strengths Finder 2.0
My manager gave me a book entitled “Strengths Finder 2.0” by Tom Rath. I don’t know what it is but the first order of business is to answer some questions on the website in order to determine your Top 5 Strengths. The survey was quite long and the questions are situational and it is possible that you will agree with both statements. However , you only need to choose what’s best. In my case, I just chose the first thing that came in my mind.
Below are my Top 5 results:
I’m fairly new to Unit Testing using Codeception. I did some Test Plans and Execution some 4 years ago during my stint as a Software Design Engineer in a Japanese company. I pretty much enjoyed gathering all test scenarios, from Normal to Semi-Normal to Abnormal cases.
