Ordinarily, I would disagree
Ordinary is good and I would choose it for my life most of the time but when it comes to computers and systems, one would look for something quite extraordinary. Take virtualization for instance, I had gone with Virtualbox because it seemed to have many things going for it. I tried it and got it to install Ubuntu which was what I wanted. So I got the desktop going without too much incidence but I ran afoul of something else (PAE) when I tried installing the server flavor of Ubuntu. There were workarounds which involved a different kernel being installed and removing the one Ubuntu-server had, but somehow I did not think I would want to go that route.
If that is the ordinary behavior of Virtualbox, if it were to be useful only if one went around and did something more, tweak it a bit to get it to work then I would not want that kind of ordinary.
Anyway, here's Cagayan de Oro City with another one: Cagayan de Oro City. My Cebu City site has made pr1, surprise, surprise. Dumaguete is still in the boondocks as far as Google goes but Dumaguete has made some headway.

Is it really ordinary?
Is it part of the norm to suffer the same fate every day? The fate of being ordinary, of being a grain of sand on a beach, a leaf in a forest of leaves. What is less unappetizing is to never change, to have the same thoughts, feel the same emotions every day of your life. I would not mind feeling content if that is the ordinary way to be but, contentment seems to be a rare thing in this world of constant agitation and pervading helplessness. Being oneself and having one's mind with the same old thoughts, how is one to escape the ordinary misery which ordinary life brings? To have a thought that would raise oneself from the ordinary situation of being ordinary and miserable would be extraordinary indeed.
Come into these sites: Squeak Smalltalk Adventure, The Ordinary Life, Politics: Divine Right of Kings and Presidents, Creation, Life, Consciousness.
We all move in the same cycle which we call our lives and rarely rise above our situations of feeling helplessly mired in our ordinariness. To be ordinary is good if ordinary means content and happy. We dig our own holes every day and never even wonder why we never get out of that hole. What to do? Something must have to change. We could perhaps start by changing our minds.
Our favorites are: Ching's World, Green Tea, Dumaguete, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Moira Trinity Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Cebu are all in the Philippines in the world of Ching.
