Preserved Thoughts

I have just successfully upgraded this site with a newer version of Drupal. Six days ago, I received an advisory from Drupal through e-mail to upgrade all sites running versions 5.x and 6.x to its latest versions 5.22 and 6.16.

These versions are maintenance releases which will immediately fix security vulnerabilities and some other issues filed through Drupal's bug tracking system.

This is my first time to perform core upgrade using update.php and the steps provided in the UPGRADE.txt file that comes with the Drupal package. The steps were easy to follow except that it does not provide more details on how to perform step 1 which is about how to backup your database and Drupal directory, especially your "sites" directory. I think that they have purposely leave the details behind since this is a platform specific step.

My husband and I woke up with a long day ahead of us and instead of spending it church-lunch-grocery-home routine, we decided its time for some fresh air with the sound of waves in the background...

We decided to go to a beach in Mactan... in just an hour we were already at Portofino Beach Resort with a pizza and some chips at hand. The place was cool considering it was quite cheap with 100-peso entrance fee and 180 pesos for the table and chairs we rented. The sun was blazing hot as we ate our cold pizza but the color of the sea was an appetizer no restaurant in the city can offer.
