Pau Gasol and His 9 Lives As A Laker
by Kat Padilla • • 1 Comment
Pau Gasol is the best teammate anyone could ever have. He is not your typical alpha male NBA superstar but he gets the job done. He can even be your friendly scapegoat in case someone from your team screws up. He is the perfect complementary player to Kobe Bryant who is notoriously known as someone who’s “tough to…

So usually people pour their hearts out with this kind of thing but because I’m weird and lazy, I’ll just KISS. Without further adieu, here’s my obligatory 2013 log. Places: Taiwan * Siem Reap BKK Capiz Potipot * Thanks to my free accomodation c/o @andreawhoo Basketball stuff: NBA pre-season (Rockets vs. Pacers) I boo’d Dwight…

My First Lines of Rails
by Kat Padilla • • 0 Comments
Parents usually take a picture of their baby’s first haircut. Me? I am not a parent so I don’t. Instead, I blog about the first lines of codes that I write when I’m learning a new language. So I was asked to help for a particular Rails project! Yay. The issues for me were just simple…

Wait For Kobe, They Said. It Will Be Fun, They Said.
by Kat Padilla • • 0 Comments
Kobe’s back and the Lakers went 0-3 with him on the lineup. Fortunately, the Lakers won against the Bobcats today. Barely. The game was close. If the Lakers had not won that, the depression would have continued and fans will blame whoever they want to blame. (Usually Pau gets them all lately) People thought that…

WP Transients to Cache API Response
by Kat Padilla • • 0 Comments
Being the amateur person that I am, I did not employ caching in my API calls just recently. I ignored its importance because I didn’t expect we would get that many hits. (Hey, the site wasn’t serious initially!) Either way, it’s still unacceptable. Come on Kat, you should know better than this!!! API response data…

My RoR Primer
by Kat Padilla • • 1 Comment
They say learning never stops. I couldn’t agree more. Coincidentally, my boss thinks this way as well so he advised me to read on Python and/or Ruby on Rails. My officemate suggested this e-book called Learn Ruby on Rails by Daniel Kehoe. Heh. The tutorial is VERY straight-forward. The author tells you a little something,…

Making A Case For Wesley Johnson
by Kat Padilla • • 0 Comments
Wes Johnson is almost getting there as a solid contributor to this rather disappointing Los Angeles Lakers team. He’s put into the starting lineup for his defense and despite the low production during the first few games of the season, he plays solid D for the Lakers every time he’s on the court. When a…

WP and Bearer Token
by Kat Padilla • • 0 Comments
So here’s some quick stuff regarding a simple function in WP. WP’s wp_remote_request retrieves raw response from the HTTP request. Goal: To make an HTTP request to a URL and get back the response using Bearer token. I am writing it down because I had a hard time finding how to do it. All the…

Kobe Will Be Proud
by Kat Padilla • • 0 Comments
So me and my #LakersNationPH buddies got interviewed in Sports Pilipinas— a sports and fitness TV show in GMA 7. The questions were about Dwight Howard and why people don’t like him that much. They interviewed 3 Dwight “haters” and only 1(?) DH lover, so be ready for some passionate rage from the former! Apparently,…
