It’s June

It’s already June (or Hunyo in Tagalog); and we’re going towards the middle of the year.  Time flies really so fast.

June is the sixth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, with a length of 30 days. The month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and equivalent to the Greek goddess Hera.

At the start of June, the sun rises in the constellation of Taurus; at the end of June, the sun rises in the constellation of Gemini. However, due to the precession of the equinoxes, June begins with the sun in the astrological sign of Gemini, and ends with the sun in the astrological sign of Cancer.  (Wikipedia)

Events in June

June 17 (or the 3^rd Sunday of June) – Father’s Day celebration in the Philippines and in other countries

Bowling or Meeting, then Rain and the Consequences

The bowling.

Strike!!!  At last, our annual bowling tournament has been scheduled in SM Mega Mall Bowling Center.  I’d been looking forward for this tournament to start, as I have not bowled and seen my bowling friends since the conclusion of our tournament last year.  Last night was the opening.

The meeting.

Then, all of a sudden, a meeting was scheduled at that same time.  I’d no other choice but to attend this meeting.  So, I called up our Team Captain and explained.  I assured him that I would follow if the meeting would be finished earlier.  It didn’t.

The meeting venue was at the Old Swiss Inn in Olympia Building, Makati City.

tsikot.com – For The Pinoy Lover of Wheels

 Interviewed: 

http://islandzine.com/sections.php?i=37
 

Island: What drove you to create tsikot.com? Is it correct to say that tsikot.com is the pioneering site devoted to Filipino car enthusiasts?

Doc Noel: I started tinkering with online communities when I created an interactive bulletin board/forum in February 2002 for a school I graduated from and currently teaching at. It was highly successful and set the course in my developing more communities for different interests. By August that same year, Jedi and I started thinking about creating an online community for Filipino car enthusiasts. We envisioned it to be a site by, of and for the lover of cars, thus the slogan “For the Pinoy Lover of Wheels.” It basically evolved into a one-stop shop for information on everything and anything about cars. We owe much to Dr. Joseph Rivera (aka Doc Otep), who really made the difference in nurturing tsikot.com, especially during its first few months. We know tsikot.com is not the first, but it did grow very fast to become the Philippines’ biggest online community of car enthusiasts.
Jedi: Tsikot.com is one of the pioneers in the online automotive community industry, and in terms of online members, unique visitors and page views, we are the biggest. It is the fastest growing, as well.

Island: tsikot.com is filled with helpful information, how many people work on it full time?

Doc Noel: There are only two of us who handle all the back-end work, that is, bulletin-board system maintenance, upkeep and upgrading, server-issues and the like. However, the bulk of the work we really owe to our loyal legion of community administrators and moderators who do the hard (and shall we say, dirty) work of monitoring and policing the community against rogue members and visitors. I believe tsikot.com owes its success to this group who painstakingly and lovingly watches over the community from its infancy to the lively, dynamic and robust state it is now. They are the real parents of the community. Jedi and I just see ourselves as the “grandparents” of tsikot.com.
As for the wealth of information found within the site, that we attribute to the thousands of members (which we call “tsikoteers”) who post pieces of advice and tips that make tsikot.com a “helpful, sharing and caring” community.
