Engagement Rings


Women wear engagement rings given by their lovers as a sign of his love and commitment and for her to promise her love to marry the man. It is believed that when a woman wears her enhagement ring on her ring finger the "Vena amoris" or the vein of love runs from her heart to the 4th finger. In some other tradition , engagement rings are viven as a bethrotal gift to their future bride. The choice of engagement ring reflects how the man loves the woman. In some high profile engagements,where it involves very costly engagement rings, a woman who volutarily breaks the engagement should return the ring to the man. However if a man breaks off the engagement first, the woman is not obligated to return the ring.

Learning WIKI


Learning wiki is fun, and I have to do this for our corporate knowledge base. In 2003MediaWiki,a free Wiki software package was conceived, licensed under the GNU General Public License, written in: PHP and uses MySQL database. It is a stable software and this is run internally on our server. We create, publish and store contents into our own server for internal access only. Wiki has it's own unique user friendly interface for users to edit the page. Uploading image is easy and the code is easy to understand.

Media wiki is great for corporations who wanted to setup their own pool of knowledge base information to be shared by other co-workers. If you are puzzled why the logo for Media wiki is a flower, well this logo won 3rd place on the contest to pick the logo for Wikipedia and yet it was perfect for use with MediaWiki instead. The flower photo in the logo was photographed by Florence Nibart-Devouardt. The double brackets in the logo symbolize a common usage of the MediaWiki markup language.

Muskoka in Fall


The picturesque Lakeside view in Bracebridge , Ontario

It was a nice Saturday in the 2nd week of October and the weather is warm. We decided to go for a Boat Cruise at the Lady of Moskuka Sight Seeing Tours. It is a 2.5 hours drive from Mississauga to Bracebridge, Ontario and since I never been to Moskuka before I want to witness it myself as I heard good things about the beauty of the nature of the coastal waters of Moskuka. With my Canon SD1100 P&S camera I promised myself that I would capture the picturesque views and upload it on my blogs.


These are just examples of the shots I took while cruising the waters. It is a spectacular scenery especially that beauty of the place is more enhanced by the amazing color of the leaves around.It is a 3 hours cruise and food is fairly priced. I recommend that for only 26 bucks for adults ( kids 5 below are free) it its worth going.
