It happened just recently. Those were not actually my own files but somebody's. I felt guilty that I did not volunteer to backup her files sooner. Well, i learned my lesson.
Hey! Can you just take this survey?
Thanks for your time! Ciao! :)

false alarm!
my hands have been so full these days that i haven't had the time to update my blog much less to inform you that my yahoo email account has been restored.
yeah, i'm guilty (bring in the prisoner! the judge summoned. hehehe. but that's another story) .
anyway, back to the topic. i've overreacted. my yahoo email account was not hacked.
and the IT department kept on reassuring me that they have no power to block my email account. although i have another theory as to what had happened, it is already irrelevant. i tell you, it is nothing serious.
what the heck! what's important now is, i can peek on my yahoo emails especially during office hours. hehehe. :)
hey! i thought i am busy?!

did you receive an email from me?
let me know if you recently got an email from my yahoo email address. if you got one, that proves that my email account is most probably hacked by somebody. if you've read my previous post, you would know that i have not accessed my yahoo email address since the other day.
and i suspect that it was the brilliant masterpiece of the hacker. he/she must be someone who is so envious of me. (hahaha! this is my blog, remember? okay, joke!)
let me explain. as i've mentioned in my previous post, i am wondering who would take interest in hacking my yahoo email account.
i have this friend who, few months ago, sent me an email asking me to help him. in that email, he said that he was in africa at that particular time and he was robbed of his money in his hotel room. considering that he was always travelling around the world, i would say that his email was believable.
but considering that i am not financially capable and i know that he has lots of rich friends who could rescue him if he was really in dire need of help, i dismissed that email. i later confirmed from him that his email account was indeed hacked which, as a consequence, he no longer has access to it.
that's scary! do you think my email account is also hacked?
by the way, if you did receive a very recent email from me, please let me know by forwarding it to my gmail account thru guiamadelo@gmail.com. thanks..

help! my yahoo email account must have been hacked!
i don't understand! for the past two days already, i have not been able to access my yahoo email account. when i tried the email addresses of my colleagues, theirs were okay! so, what's wrong with mine?!
i remember the hacking of personal email account of the republican's vice presidential aspirant sarah palin was on the news recently. but who would be interested in hacking mine? i'm not a prominent public personality (or am i? hehehe. joke!). i don't even look like sarah palin (or do i? hehehe. joke again!)
kidding aside, i am really itching to get my hands on my yahoo emails. in fact, as of this writing, i am currently taking a break from my office work as I am worried sick as to why this has happened to me.
i've been using that email address for almost nine years already. it is already part of my identity for my cyber and non-cyber friends. and i don't have any other means on how to get in touch with them...
help!

restoration of P4.9B original budget of COA, for real?
I just read an article from the Philippine Star today that the house VOWS to restore COA'S original P4.9B budget. As a COAn myself, I'll just keep my fingers, as well as, my arms crossed.
Read on the article below:
Citing the Commission on Audit’s gargantuan task of checking abuses in the disbursement of government funds, the House of Representatives yesterday vowed to restore the constitutional body’s original P4.9-billion budget for 2009.
“They (COA auditors) have been doing their job efficiently and credibly and with integrity. How can they do their job if we don’t give them what they need?” said Siquijor Rep. Orlando Fua, who heads the sub-committee of the House appropriations committee.
Fua said lawmakers are unanimous in wanting to restore COA’s proposed P4.9-billion budget, but he clarified they cannot do it unilaterally as they still have to seek clearance from Malacañang.
“We cannot restore. There is a move to restore, but we have to get first the permission of Malacañang,” Fua explained.
Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño said the move sends a strong signal to the executive department that operations of constitutional bodies like COA should not be impaired, because they are essential to a democracy.
“The majority and the minority have a shared concern. Cutting the budget (of COA) sends the wrong signal. It’s a political statement coming from Congress. We should take steps not to reduce the COA budget,” he said.
Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros noted the other day the shrinking budget of COA.
She said the annual budget of COA has declined steadily since President Arroyo assumed office in 2001.
Hontiveros provided Congress journalists a yearly comparison between the increasing national budget, now pegged at P1.4 trillion, and the P4-billion COA budget for 2009, or a measly 0.29 share of the total budget pie.
The party-list congresswoman noticed that since 2002, COA yearly allocations – in percentage share – have been diminishing: 0.54 in 2002, 0.48 in 2003, 0.46 in 2004, 0.42 in 2005, 0.38 in 2006, 0.36 in 2007, 0.33 in 2008 and 0.29 by next year.
The budget for 2001, when Mrs. Arroyo took over from President Joseph Estrada, was a carryover of the previous year’s. Budget allocations of all agencies – from the executive, legislative and judiciary – are deliberated and approved a year in advance.
The national budget for 2002 was P742 billion, P825 billion in 2003, P867 billion in 2004, P947 billion in 2005, P1 trillion in 2006, P1.1 trillion in 2007 and P1.2 trillion in 2008.
“A weaker COA means more corruption in government,” warned Hontiveros. “It’s as if the government has been punishing COA for doing its job. We should in fact be increasing the budget of COA, and not the other way around.”
The deputy minority leader also lamented the fact that the Department of Budget and Management had “disallowed” three important items in the COA budget that are crucial to its task of checking financial abuses in government.
Foremost is the minuscule P5-million confidential and intelligence funds, followed by the P47 million for training of state auditors including the computerization of its “data-rich” functions, and the P100-million capital outlay for the improvement of COA satellite offices.
“This decrease is not just strange. It appears as if there is an intent to impair and weaken the institution itself,” said Hontiveros, who reminded the public that it was COA which exposed the P728-million fertilizer scam, among other irregularities.
