Symfony is a PHP Framework in which you can easily create web applications without the hassle of repetitive coding task.
There is a step by step installation
here in Linux. But if you want to install it in Windows, here is the step-by-step guide.
1) You have to install apache, mysql and php in your computer. If you don't want to be bothered to install it one by one, just install xampp, an easy install distribution. You can download it
here. It's not the latest version but it's the most stable version. If you want the latest version, you can download it
here.
2) After installation, go to your command prompt (Start->Run-> type cmd)3) Go to the directory where you install the xampp and go to the php folder. Or rather type cd [directory path]\xampp\php\ e.g. cd c:\xampp\php
4) Type pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com in the command prompt.
Result:
Adding Channel "pear.symfony-project.com" succeeded
Discovery of channel "pear.symfony-project.com" succeeded
5) After that, type pear install symfony/symfony [version] to install symfony. If you will not put the version it's fine, you will be installing the latest version that is available.Result:
Starting to download symfony-1.0.1.tgz (1,911,013 bytes).........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................done: 1,911,013 bytesinstall ok: channel://pear.symfony-project.com/symfony-1.0.1
After the fifth step, you already have symfony installed in your machine. You can now create a project and a module that you need to get started with symfony.

YYYYEEESSS!!!! Midterm week is now over. I am now free of stress. But I will still be doing a lot of school works but I am more relaxed now. I need to relax myself after the long hard week. So, I watched Dark Knight. It's really nice. I really recommend that you watch it. But if you don't like serious movie, don't watch it. Hehehe. Heath Ledger was so good in the movie. It's so sad that he passed away early. I just hope the next batman movie is as good as this movie. It's worth to watch it.
Enough about Dark Knight, after the midterm exam week, i still need to wait for my midterm results - the GRADES. I just hope that I get a high grade. I'll get the results, i think, by next week. With study and prayers, I just hope I pass with flying colors.
And the good thing about my busy mode being over is that I can catch with blogging, with playing cabal, and with many good things in life. Hehehe. But of course, studying always come first. I just want to balance it out with my life, sanity, and school.
I also want to apologize to all my blogger friends. I'll promise to put your tags and visit your blogs hopefully by this week. Keep blogging! =D

I'm so sorry if I was not able to write in my blog lately, i'm so hectic. It's our midterm week that's why I don't have the time to write. Imagine my jam pack schedule tomorrow..
- Got to pass a paper in Philosophy
- Practical exam in Data Networking (router configuration)
- Defense of our prototype (Waste Exchange System)
- Midterm Test in Statistics
The good thing is after all of these things, I will watch "Dark Knight" tomorrow night after all the stressful things for these past few days. Hope I'll be able to catch up with my blogging life.

It's been a while since my last post. I am very much busy lately in school. I can't manage to post in between class anymore because I am more focused on my school works. Even though I am busy, I really don't want to stop blogging because it's my outlet. It's something I do to enhance my writing skills and to express myself. If you know me personally, I am shy and only have a small closed knitted friends and in blogging, I feel that I really do have a lot of friends (even halfway across the globe). I can express myself without being shy at all, my life is an open book to all and I can share things that I know to others.
I also missed blog hopping. It's interesting being able to see others opinions at a topic and learning new things. It amazes me how much knowledge I can gather in just blog hopping for an hour.
While I am away, my google account was disabled due to invalid clicks. I was really shocked. because of course I was not clicking it (specially I am busy). Oh well, I am really not into earning, it's just a bonus for blogging because as a student, I really need an extra income because I got a lot of expenses (tuition, computer, books, etc.). I think I should just switch to bidvertiser.
Today, I am not that busy but this weekend I'll be doing the waste exchange system so now I will be more hectic. I just wish we will come up with a nice prototype by next week. Please wish me luck in my project and I also need your prayers. Even though I am busy, from time to time, I will be checking my blog and I do hope that I will be able to post regularly just like before.

Update on my Laptop:
My laptop is still not working well. It's still booting but sometimes when I type it gets deleted or hitting backspace gets me to right click. Hehehe. So I bought a USB hub and got my old external keyboard back to working. But it's really big for the laptop, so I rather buy a new one which is smaller as soon as possible.
Back to the title, my laptop is still not working well but I got a new PC. YOOHOO! So I really do believe that when God closes a door, a window opens.
Specs:
Pentium Dual Core Processor 2 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz
ECS 945GCT-M2/1333
1.00 GB of RAM
ATI X1550 GDDR2 64 bit Video Card
Liteon 20X DVD/CD Writer and Rewriter
It's really an upgrade from my old PC because I now have a DVD writer (my old one does not have a writer instead it has a floppy disk drive which i think is now phased out) and I can play CABAL with my video card. It's really a blessing and it did not cost much.
I just used my old CRT monitor because I'm in a budget. If I can still save some money, I'll buy an LCD monitor for my new PC soon.
