Last Friday, we were able to develop add inter portlet communication that is required for the login feature in our app. Aside from that, we were also able to learn more about technicalities involved in portlet development. Last Saturday was more of family day where we went to my sister’s birthday in Marikina. For today, I read some parts in the ebook Effective Java, 2nd Edition by Steve Bloch and planned on how to progress for most parts of our work in this upcoming week. Here are some of remaining pics taken from last week:

The shyest mascot I’ve seen perform. The person inside is also too thin that his pants need to be pulled up 80% of the time

MMOJ Eatery is the quickest on-the-go food option around here. Overall, they have great food and unlimited supply of vinegar for barbecue dipping.

This collection includes very impressive must-have Java books, which makes me quite, if not overly, jealous

Even the wall beside men’s urinal in O&B is well equipped with learning tips for Agile. The next six included in the list can’t be found here though; it might be posted beside the women’s toilet (or simply left open ended to encourage resourcefulness)

PayMaya is a revamped E-Money startup that features a “beep” card to act as a substitute in using credit card for online purchase and for avoiding queues in riding the LRT. Most of the organizers of this meetup are working from the same company, too

I also received a free card and have yet to try and checkout which features will be proven useful

That’s all for now. .God bless and have a great week ahead!
