What to expect?

Well, as I’ve said on a previous post, I haven’t been active in blogging for this month. But don’t worry; I would certainly be more active next year. And that’s not very far from now.

Why wasn’t I active?

Well, the events conspired against me from blogging: Wikimedia and Special Force (It’s really adictive and entertaining.).

It’s been productive so I don’t really regret it.

Wikimedia

In my Wikimedia work, I’ve managed to create the following. And also, the following are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0, meaning that you may edit, redistribute, work upon, whatever the following maps for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial as long as you attribute it to me and/or this site (http://felipeaira.i.ph/) or any Wikimedia project (http://www.wikimedia.org/ or http://commons.wikimedia.org/ or any other project), where I also released these maps. So you can also find these maps on Wikimedia Commons, the free image repository. There will be more, more precisely, statistical and locative ones.

This can be found at Wikimedia Commons and Ang Katagalugan (this site).

For the link on this site, just click the map.

The following are Wikimedia Commons links.

Now you ask, “What makes this map special?”. Well it is special. It is the most comprehensive map of the Philippines yet. Unlike the traditional maps which are divided into provinces, these ones are divided into municipalities and cities. Now that’s accurate. It took me approximately 6 months to do, and another 2 weeks to colour. I really made this with passion.

Special Force

As I have said on my previous post about it, I’ve been playing it. I am now a Second Lieutenant.

What to expect?

Now, what to expect? Well, there will be more maps like that as I’ve said. Next year I would be posting an index of all the blog posts I’ve made this year. There will be more Tagalog language lessons, and more commentaries. Also I’ll try to experiment with vlogs. I’ll make some of them next year. I’ll be also publishing a research work on the evolution of the Philippine languages, which will focus on how the Philippine languages have evolved from Old Malay, and my theory which follows that the Proto-Philippine came from the south contrary to the theory of a growing number of linguists that the language came from the north through the Taiwan aborigines migrating to the Philippines through ancient land bridges that supposedly connected Taiwan and Luzon; of course, I don’t believe it. And finally, as a priority, I would be releasing my own set of Baybayin fonts which would be fully compliant to the Unicode standard.

And also, next year, I might not be as active as I want to be since I would also be working on directing an indie school film. And I would be really pushing my efforts on that one, because I would really like to win. And I will; I say this since I’ve seen the competition, and they’ve got a very shallow part. My concept, I don’t want to brag but, is way better. It is a very morbid tragedy, and practically the only tragedy on the entries, as my source tells me.

I’m quite worried though that we’ll get censored since the script that we (the two of us) wrote is the one most filled with profanity, and the plot is quite explicit since it deals with violence (suicide & murder), and incest; or at least, that was what I was told. Would you call sex with your sibling incest?

That’s all that I can say for now since I don’t want to ruin the excitement. We may have to perform self-censorship though since the school are run by Catholic priests.
