I received this error message a few weeks back while I was uploading a picture using Wordpress.

Fatal Error: Out of Memory (allocated 69992448) tried to allocate 4224 bytes in <address> on line 162.

I thought it was just a problem with the Flash uploader so I tried the browser uploader but received the same error.

Here’s how I managed to fix this error after googling around:

1. Go to your host’s cpanel and open php.ini Quickconfig.

2. Click Enable Quickconfig

3. Edit the memory limit to something higher, I set mine as 64M.

After doing these steps, the error disappeared and I was able to upload pictures the same way as before.

Overcoming pain

It’s been 3 months already since my mom was gone. And that is also how long I wrote this post. It is just now that I have finished writing it. Aside from delivering my baby, this is probably be the most difficult time in my life. I’ve been through a lot of pressure, making wise decisions and stress. You may see me smiling but what I’m really feeling is pain…

February 16 – 17, 2010:

I was at work when I received a PM from my sister-in-law (Ate Cleng) informing me that my dad is trying to reach me on my phone. I immediately checked my phone and indeed I have a lot of missed calls and texts from my dad. I hurriedly called him and asked what happened. He asked me to talk to this lady from admitting. She said that my mom needs to be admitted and needs to stay in ICU! Tears trickled down my eyes and blood rushed through my veins! Just hearing the word ICU makes me think of critical things that could happen!

Based from my dad’s story: They went to their usual check up and laboratory tests in University Medical Center (UMC / DSLU Dasma). While waiting for their turn, my mom suddenly felt like urinating so my dad brought her to the wash room. She wasn’t talking that time so my dad asked her what she feels. Then she fainted… Dad brought her to the ER and the attending says she needs to be confined. Since then, I’ve been attending to my mom.

After my shift, my hubby and I went to PhilHealth to get my MDR since she is my dependent. We fetched my dad from our house since he was there to get some things. We then went to ICU to check on my mom. It’s really hard seeing her in that situation. You can’t talk to her, you don’t even know if she can still recognize you or not. Her CT scan shows a massive bleed in the left part of her brain. Her neurologist says that she needs to undergo a test called CT angiogram of the brain because they need to find the cause of her bleed. They advised us to do this procedure in Makati Medical Center (MMC) because they don’t have the equipment. I asked my friend doctor from The Medical City (TMC) if they could do CT angio to my mom and she confirmed that they also have this. Knowing the price of TMC, I consulted my brother (Alex) whether to move my mom or not. Instead of going back and forth from Makati Med and UMC, we decided to move my mom from UMC to TMC.

Las Paellas Cafe, SM North

Las Paellas is a Spanish – Asian inspired restaurant founded by Mr. Ramon Del Gallego Jr. and was established on August 1997.

This is actually our 2nd time to visit this resto. Since Churros was unavailable the first time, we ordered it this time for Nicole. There’s nothing fancy about their churros. It was really not what I was expecting because I want my churros hot! They actually served it last when I asked for it. Not great customer service. It’s just probably because they  have 21 guests waiting outside making a reservation.

Churos con Chocolate

If it’s not because of their scrumptious Beef Caldereta, my hubby and I would be in a bad mood already. I’ll give this dish a 10 out of 10! This may be biased because Caldereta is my all time favorite food! The beef is so tender and the sauce is not too strong, just right!

Beef Caldereta

My hubby is such a fan of laing so he makes it a point to taste it  in every resto who serves this dish. Las Paellas version is stuffed with ground pork. I really can’t describe it but there’s this certain after taste that I don’t like. I didn’t even took another bite! NOT so recommended…

Stuffed Laing

I guess we just arrived at the wrong time… We’ll definitely order in advance next time to try out their Paella! :)

Visiting Manila Ocean Park

It’s been months since we last went to Manila Ocean Park. My hubby saw some seals being featured in one of the morning shows in the tube and we’re hoping to see them for real since Nicole haven’t seen any seals yet. We were actually disappointed because we didn’t see them and the musical fountain starts at 7pm! According to the guard on duty, the seals will be open to the public on August 2010.We went there before lunch and when I asked the lady behind the cashier, the only one open is the Oceanarium! :(

Charice Pempengco on Glee

18 yr. old female young star, Charice Pempengco joins Glee on their 2nd season!

“It’s official. I’m on Glee (next season) but (there is a) story behind it,” Pempengco tweeted.

EW has confirmed the 18-year-old singing superstar will play a “foreign exchange student whose killer vocals get Rachel (Lea Michele) contemplating murder.”

Charice made her own name in “Little Big Star” which is a local TV show here in the Philippines. The videos were spread over the net and caught the interest of US TV shows like Oprah. Since then, she has been a favorite of Oprah, Ellen and her hit song “Pyramid” is on top of the billboard charts!

She is also scheduled to sing the national anthem at the inauguration of Philippine President-elect Benigno Aquino on June 30.

Sebastian’s Ice Cream Studio

After watching a back to back movie last Saturday, we treated ourselves with Sebastian’s ice cream! We ordered for Butter pecan and Mango Sans Rival during our first time. Now, for our 2nd time, we ordered for another Mango Sans Rival and Cookies and Cream Chilly Burger. I like the cookies and cream because it reminds me of my childhood days when I was eating bread (monay) stuffed with “dirty ice cream” from the “mamang sorbetero”.

Sebastian's Cookies and Cream Chilly Burger

Their Mango Sans Rival is heavenly! It’s like you’re eating the actual cake, it’s just that its cold! It’s so creamy and the mango chunks are delectable!

Sebastian's Mango Sans Rival

Inspired by Ben & Jerry’s, Sebastian’s is a home – made ice cream store owned by a Filipino named, Ian Carandang. More of Ian from dessertcomesfirst and eatandrun.
