Things I noticed today!

Today I found out what I can spend my next pay check on..... voila! See below!



Naaaw the price doesn't fool me!!!! But if your on a budget and can't eat that much meat you can always go for the more affordable cuts, like the ones below:



You can always chose between the 4000 and 2000 variety! Enjoy!

While going around the grocery today I saw two vegetables. One had not so much the difference from the other, both had the same color, same basic shape, even the same name and almost the same price but....



I'm puzzled one is tall one is short, one is fat the other fat enough, but they are just almost the same price, I wonder what the UPO from Taiwan isn't telling the normal Upo.....

I also saw this:



The onion and the garlic look alike, have almost the same shape, they feel the same, and together you can't smell the difference..... so why can't they just have the same price? I'd prefer the 28.00/kilo. HAHHA (ok im not dum it's a joke :D) (oh p.s. and don't forget to have your items weighed for priced before paying.)

And so in the end me and my mom used these bags Unilever gave to save on plastic bags which take forever (thousands and thousands of years forever) to decompose and go away and forever gone....




We save two plastic bags Hurray!

Wanna read more then click on the link below what are you waiting FOR!!!!!



So yesterday I watched Kung Fu Panda, go to my multiply to read what I thought of (a very long detailed analysis of course). I also watched this French Film Fest with my friend Bogey or Boogie (Man) just kidding. Was about the French people who couldn't decide on what apartment to stay in and if they wanted to really be together or what (HAHAHAHA ok you tell me what it was about if you really thin I'm lying!) hehehe I went to High street again, and Serendra and yes I went to Enderun OMG or should I say MORDOR. Here's the gates to Mordor at the dread night time:



It's a steel gate, with scary steel things that I think turn around when you pass by and I bet they try to identify how many plastic cards your carrying - in your pocket, your wallet, your bag, in your shoes, underwear, at the back of your ear, and maybe in your butt too! Darn it's scary. If you make the wrong move those robot soldiers in Attack of the Clones comeout and go zapping at you (lucky you if you brought along a Jedi friend, if not they take you inside and make you part of the Restaurant 101 menu).

Honestly reminds, me of either, the UN, World Bank, or maybe some jail thingy or some high-tech version of Hogwarts (hey they don't have brooms, they ride jaguars!).

Hmmm.... so what else happened to me? Hmmm....

I met my long lost family I was touched I finally had a pciture with them, they were so unresponsive though, like they didn't know me or like they didn't want to see me, they didn't even say a word... I was struck..

Standing

Today I stood for one hour in a line. A line to withdraw money. Because just when I was fourth to get money, the machine goes offline. Took 20-30 minutes to go back up, but since I already waited 20-30 minutes I stayed in line.

My feet still hurt up to now. From work I picked up my mom from Shangri-la Mall and while on my way, the song Meant To Live played on NU 107.5 around 6:45 pm?

It made me remember...

That we are all made to live something more. But like in my previous blog we sometimes (well most of the time) we get lost while getting to that place better. I guess I'm still in that rough road. I remember i received a text once, several of them actually form different people. Something about you being a rock. That God is giving you these challenges, they are rough for sure, lots of pressure and things to go through. So that in the end you turn out to be a diamond or a ruby - a gem or an emerald....

I just hope God makes me a diamond, they are the hardest, most expensive, and shiniest.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA.

Absolutely Zero

Absolutely Zero is how I feel now. Energy: Zero. Inspiration: Zero. Anything else: Zero.
There are times in life when you feel like you have absolutely zero. The funny thing is your not dirt poor. Your not alone. Your not hated, an outcast, or loathed. Neither are you being looked for, indicted, or searched by authorities.

Your just not needed. Not wanted. You've drown in the sea of work, daily routine, and life. You can be blamed and forgotten the next day. They don't even ask for repayment because your not needed. You might want to apologize but they don't need it, won't hear it, will just ignore it.

You've lost hope but you can't die. Its against your inner will, a small flicker of hope inside that can't be destroyed. Sometimes you think why its there. You think God is all benevolent, there must be a reason why that sun in you can't burn out.

Its a torture everyday that passes. To be the same person you don't want to be everyday, every single day of your existence. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and you count the days. And its pathetic. All this is pathetic. Sometimes you wanna run away but to where and for what? Who would care. You'll just get tired. It'll be a nuisance to yourself. You don't run because your just too tired. Too tired mentally, physically and emotionally. Nothing gives you inspiration anymore.

Nobody is dependable, reliable to you. Nothing makes you happy. Even those moments, those people who you'd run to. Cherish to be with, it becomes stale because they're sick of you. Tired of you. Your a baggage. You need to be thrown away. They think you've lost it. And you become paranoid.


Nobody remembers you. Nothing holds you. Nothing keeps you. Nobody remembers you put water in the shampoo. Nobody remembers you fix their things, keep them orderly. Nobody remembers you tuck them in a blanket. Nobody remembers that you care.

You wish you can just cut all ties. Start over. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to do. Nothing to look forward to, nothing to think about, to worry about. no expectations, no discriminations. Nothing.

You think hard and then. Everythings gone. You wake up from this dream and everythings normal again. You hate it because it's not a dream. You just came to the realization that logically self-pity won't help you forget the dream. Remove it from your system.

Who wants a life like this? Its for sale. Pay no more than Absolutely Zero.

when mood swings.

It's funny how things work out, The ones we need don't know we're there, Things cant be perfect all the time that i know, sometimes we just have to let some things go.

I wake up and think dreams are real, I sleep so I don't have to feel, the truth that you can never be the one person that won't ever forget me.

Waiting for the rain to stop, Destination's beautiful. Seems that I'm still Waiting for the sun. Someday will come back to us.

If you're willing, let it go

Why won't you just let this be your sun?

i can speak when i want to and pour my voice til it burns through the core of my own throat

listen im fine now, listen im fine now, listen im fine now
i dont want to talk right now, thank you for your concern

Once more I'll say goodbye to you Things happen, but we don't really know why If it's supposed to be like this...

All these things I hate revolve around Me!

I wonder if you're listening. . .

Can I just be something somewhere in your room that you won't notice
You’re everything to me. Sometimes I run, but I'm not afraid. Why must you bring up all the mistakes I've made?

Decisions, make decisions for your fate. Your choice is the chance that you have to take.

She said, 'Alright, alright slow down' Oh no, oh no cause I regret everything that I said

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you? Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me...

Everything we had
everything we had
everything we had
everything we had is no longer there






















everything we had.

It's Haunting Me?

Why do I keep waking up at around 5AM??? I wake up at the same time the past few days and I'm thinking of the same thing. No its not that I'm waking up for work, thinking I should get ready for work, it's not that.

The fact is I already know what it is. I already have an idea what to do. How to tackle the problem, an idea how it may end or how it can be continued for as long as it wants to. It's just different when emotions are there. And when it's not just your emotions.

Sometimes life, you can never tell. Sometimes things, you never want. And very very sometimes things happen, so special, it means so much. Those few moments, so precious and you don't know how but want to make them normal. Because then when your special moments become normal, routine, regular, then the span of the happiness you feel will be more regulated, and not so spiked for special moments that are now and then that it'll make you so moody. Once a month this and every week that. Life can sometimes be so busy that just a few minutes you give to something can be like so hard to do. But sometimes like I say miracles do happen and you can give days or maybe three?


Take for example the sideline I'm doing, there are pro-bono and not, both are hard to do, but omg speaking of which, I'm outta here, I need to do those! chow!

The Fort is near NAIA III

Today I registered my car. Aside from a weird stomach in the morning, another turn of events happened right after my visit to my tito. Everytime I need to register the car I go to my uncle who is head of the motor pool for all Philippine Post vehicles. And for some reason I'm always late in registering my car. It's become some sort of tradition to register days away from a P1000.00 penalty.

Anyway, when I was going home from the uncle's office my normal left turn to EDSA was blocked. Everybody know had to go straight, which was fine for me. I vaguely remember how to get through the place. First thing I thought was oh this goes through this odd Plaza like place thats surrounded before by lets say messy settlers, I'm sure they aren't really informal settlers but their houses look no way near planned!
In any case that path lead to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal III, which I hope they would open before it turns unusable.




So enough of my half-drunk pics. I also managed to tak a picture of my left (yes the airport was on my right.)




It says Marriot allover those buildings so I guess its a hotel kinda thing right next to thealmost airport kinda thing. At the end of the road I turn left, and guess what I'm nearing the Fort!



And so I go around that round where the military are stalking me left and right. And I take pictures of this place called Bonifacio Heights. Supposedly a housing project for the military personnel, how convenient it is located minutes away from both the post Fort and the future hopefully to be opened international airport. Funny too that the people who bought here are well, lot of them are not from the military haha. Sorry again for the half-drunk pics, It's hard not to look like a spy around the area. And oh yeah, last pic is of Mckinley Hill, I hear they are building some sort of Russia House there, churning out these new well-crafted an bred Filipino people who are genteel and diplomatic but with one goal, to spread around the world and at the right moment take control...





I guess thats it for today. Exciting day passing through this place. I might be going there often, just maybe?

Any one for Hej Matematik


I heard this song while searching about my cousin's future college Enderun. This Multiply site http://hungrypigpoets.multiply.com was talking about well so many stuff aside from Enderun and I saw the imeem of it. The song is cool, I like the voices and for some reason the language is pleasing even if I have no idea about what its talking about. Sounds and looks Scandinavian but I could be totally wrong. The language is like Turk but if you look closely its like Germanic? Haha in any case I'm listening to their whole album and added them at myspace. I'm a fan now! And did I tell you the video was like they were trying to joke you but at the same time they were being serious? It's so cool! Besides who has a band name with Math in it? Wahahaha it might not even be Math, anyway Hej Matematik is ice cold!

Anyway, today was a weird day. My day started like 5 AM. I usually never wake up at 5 AM unless my life depended on it. But I guess in a way it did. I dreamt of something, something I guess related to my real life. It was alarming and so I woke up, and I immediately remembered the dream and I was crying, I dunno if I realized I was crying when I woke up or if I just started crying. In any case its one of those dreams you can't tell anybody at all except like one person who would know everything about you.

Its kinda weird I'm starting this blog from the end to the start. Anyway after that dream I go to sleep haha. Work was normal, it was a pay day so I leave early (this whole month I've been going home early). While walking to the parking lot from the bank where I withdrew my money, I realize I'm being paid a discounted Zoo York Hoodie at Amazon every week, I get semi-depressed. Sometimes I feel like Marvin from The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe, but I guess that's not all bad, he does do something significantly good at the end.

Well I'm going to write a little more if you like so click on the continue link or something if you wanna read more...

Back to walking to my car.... I have these little conversations with the parking attendant there. In the morning its this lady and at the afternoon its this other lady. Lets call them mean Lady and nice Lady . Mean Lady is there in the morning to give me my ticket. The entrance to parking is a concrete ramp, the right of which is chipped off and every morning when I have to enter the lot I feel I'm slowly destroying my tires and whatever structural parts hold it in my car. I told the girl two mornings ago if she can ask the owner to fix the ramp.

This mean lady is grumpy like hell, she tells me "Isasara na ito, nalulugi na! Sa a-kinse magsasara na!" I'm like Oh the hell I didn't ask you a question no need to reply! She mutters other words all unintelligible. Later in the afternoon I ask nice Lady about it and she says she doesn't know, go to the next parking lot she says it also has a cheap rate.

The next morning mean Lady is there once again, I ask her that the parking attendant in the afternoon doesn't know that its going to close, she then tells me "magsasara nga! kapatid ko ang may-ari nito eh!" I'm like wow. Maybe when I get rich enough to rent out a lot for stranger's cars to park in for a fee I'll be like so bored with my money I'll be the parking attendant as well, or maybe I'll ask my sister to fill-in in the morning.

But anyway, in the afternoon I ask the nice Lady and now she knows... "ayaw kasi i-renew ng may-ari yung lease." At least I get some picture. The lot is owned by whomever owns that foam green tile building at Emerald Avenue (I know that because I wanted to reserve a parking slot for a month haha), and I guess mean Lady parking attendant's brother is the lessee?

What a fuss about that haha.

P.S. Hej Matematik sounds like someone singing drunk and all the words are like almost english hehe. sounds cool though. Actually want to learn the language now.

My New PC!

First off sorry for not writing anything at all here for such a long time!!! Besides nobody is reading this anyway! Just kidding. I have two readers according to my feedburner!! I wonder if they are some relatives abroad? Hahaha. Anyway, I couldn't blog because I was so busy with my new computer I bought!!!

Well I thought of buying a new computer because my application for a Gold Mastercard was approved and now I said I can buy a computer and sell my old laptop!!!

I was so excited because I'm such a geek for things like those! :) It took me a long while to decide what to buy. Since when I started planning the only quadcore system in the Philippines was Intel but lo and behold within just like two weeks the Phenom reached our shores and I was back to planning and AMD system!!!

So here goes what I bought after the jump!!!

I planned to buy my pieces in two phases because I didn't have all the money I needed and I didn't want to fill up my card too much!!!

So here goes my new computer setup:

Motherboard: MSI K9A2 Platinum

I bought this board because it uses and supports the new AM2+ thingy and it has hypertransport 3, aside from 4 fully functional simultaneous 16x PCI-E ver 2.0 slots which I can use for a 4 card Crossfire setup!!! It also has the customary 4 DIMM DDR2 1024Mhz. Plus 10 channel (7.1+2) High definition audio included!!! Hehehehe and 2x E-Sata ports, 6 internal Sata ports, Firewire (1934a not b but oh well), tons other stuff!!! It's actually a gamer's motherboard! cost P9275++!

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ (for now) Phenom Quadcore (later)

I couldn't afford the price tag of around P12,000++ for the Phenom so obviously I used a dual core for now! Still good since its rated 5.2/5 in the Vista Ultimate Index

Video Card: Power Color HD (ATI) 2600 PRO 256 (for now) PC HD 2600 XT 256 x2 Crossfire (later)

They didn't have a PC HD 2600 XT available so I guess I'll have to sell my current video card if I'd want to get that crossfire setup I'm thinking of. Not so disappointed but just another thousand bucks would've given me a much better video card! 4.6/5 in Windows Ultimate Index using Windows Aero.

Memory: Kingston 1GB 667Mhz (now) 4GB Kingston 800Mhz (later)

I'd like one or two pieces Kingston 800Mhz 2Gb but they were out of stock!!! I like the brand Kingston because I was able to replace a faulty memory dimm from them before and thus their lifetime warranty ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!! I recommend Kingston to EVERYBODY!
4.5/5 Windows Vista Ultimate Index (WVUI)

Harddisk: SATA Western Digital 500GB

Well I wanted Seagate but they were fresh out of 500GB, oh well I still have another 5 internal + 2 External Sata ports to fill up!!! 5.7/5 WVUI

I bought an F1 Racer Casing since it looks smooth, minimal and cool! I also got a Logitech cordless USB keyboard and mouse!

I used my old old old AOC 17" CRT Monitor and will replace it with a HannsG or is it Hannspree 22" HDMI HDCP LCD Monitor when I actually get money from selling my old laptop! :P

I spent all in all around PHP 30,000.00 and I got a 4.5/5 rated WVUI computer!!! Not bad I guess since I'm really stoked I have a new powerful PC! :)

Oh and if your going to ask, I bought my parts at PC Gilmore (motherboard) , PCX (everything except memory and motherboard), and that shop where they speak Bisaya! :P Something like PC Gaisano (memory) or something!

My reviews for them are: PC Gilmore is like well over priced and they have illegal surcharge on credit purchases (Memorandum Order No. 10 DTI Series 2006), but they have relatively fast good service and you can find items there that PCX is out of stock of.

PCX rules still for me, because its cheap, and their credit card prices are the same as advertised on their price lists! They give a P150 per item fee for installing items bought from other stores to a computer they assemble from parts from their store.

PC Gaisano (?) is nice because I felt like supporting that Bisaya speaking store. Also because everybody was out of Kingston memory while their store was jampacked stack over stack full of Kingston Modules, but no 800mhz..... :)

Write more later!!!

Ciao!

My Little Garden



This Sunday morning I went with my mom to the nearby garden store and bought for me a planter box with flowers and other things in it!

At White Plains there is a strip of road where they have gardens off to one side where you can buy many many different plants!

I thought of getting a plant of my own so that I could de-stress while watering it and stuff. I felt kind of like the sims when I thought of that idea. My fear would be maybe I'd transfer all my stress to the plant it'll die!

It's so simple and small but for me its so pretty 'coz I made it myself! :) I think I'll buy more!

Oh by the way they call the plants buttons and kinsay. Hehhehe. I'll call them together kinton or maybe butsay?

Another picture of my plant after the jump!

Filipino Jokes

I got this from my Email, and so if your Filipino (or a high joke IQ) you will totally get this joke!

A FILIPINO APPLICANT @ WAL-MART

An office manager at Wal-Mart was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stackof resumes he found four people who were equally qualified --an American, a Russian, an Australian and a Filipino.He decided to call the four in and ask them only one question.Their answers would determine who among them would get the job.The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table theinterviewer asked, "What is the fastest that thing you know?"Steve, the American, replied, "A THOUGHT. It comes without any warning;It just pops into your head. A thought is the fastest thing that I know..""That's very good!" replied the interviewer.

"And now you sir?" he asked Vladimir, the Russian. "Hmm.... let me see. A blink! It comes and goes without you knowing that it ever happens. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know." "Excellent!" said the interviewer. "The blink of an eye, that's a verypopular cliché for speed."
He then turned to George, the Australian who was contemplating his reply."Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, the light in the barn comes on way out across the pasture. Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastestthing I can think of."The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man. "It's hard to beat the speed of light," he said.

Turning to Eleuterio, the Filipino, the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the same question. Eleuterio replied, "Apter herring da 3 preybyus ansers sir, et's obyusto me dat the fastest thing is Diarrhea.""WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response. The others were already giggling in their seats..."Oh, I can expleyn sir," said Eleuterio. "You see, sir, da ader day my istumach was peeling bad and so I run so fast to the bathroom, but bepore I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, sir, I had alreydi shet in my pants!"Eleuterio is now the new "Greeter" at Wal-Mart.

Hehehehe!

A New Philippine Congress!




The Philippines Congress has just taken a huge turn in its history! Replacing a 5-time serving speaker of the house Jose De Venecia, because unfortunately for him, I think he was used by the Opposition.


It all started because of a deal that was supposedly inked with corruption. This deal was the Broadband deal known as ZTE because it was between the Philippine Government and a Chinese firm named ZTE. This deal was brought to light when Rep. Jose Solis accused De Venecia, Jr.'s son, Jose de Venecia III for questioning a $330 million broadband connection deal between the Philippine Government and Chinese firm ZTE.


Rep. Solis hit De Venecia III for desiring to have his Amsterdam Holdings, Inc. (AHI) get the deal, which he apparently lost the bidding for and now was all sour-grapes about it. Especially since it looked as if several politicians were given their parts of the deal. EEEEK.


In any case, I'm sure the opposition took this as a means to bring down President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. And that is terrible turn-coatism so I guess many in the Congress felt that he burned bridges with his almost 2-hour privileged speech and thus instead of those voting for him voting him to stay, well they thought better, I mean you can't work wit the Executive after having said all that.


I for one feel bad about what happened to de Venecia. But he should just think about his future now as a private citizen who can still help the country like former president Ramos. Now they say that the Congress will elect a Mindanao representative which is good because they say most funding to that great northern territory of the Philippines is couped, as in cut off hahaha. Terrible.


In any case, I hope for the Congress to continue being a productive chamber of legislation unlike the Senate who I personally think should be abolished already ala-De Venecia Parliamentary style.


A little bit more after the jump.

I am a supporter Gloria, and this thing that happened seems to be a good thing. At least now with a Mindanao Speaker of the House, the funds that Pres. Gloria was able to produce using her great skill of making this economy produce money at last, a good part will hopefully go to Mindanao. Just imagine if we could finally bring Mindanao to the level of productivity Luzon has - something like Laguna.

Anyway, I hope De Venecia finds a way to be productive and Gloria and the Congress do their best untill 2010 when the Philippines votes for a new president!

Does this mean we can have Heroes back?

According to USA Today, in their online article "Writers' strike breakthrough reported":

A breakthrough in contract talks has been reached between Hollywood studios and striking writers and could lead to a tentative deal as early as next week, a person close to the ongoing negotiations said Saturday.

Does this mean we can finally have Heroes back? I mean, I really miss watching it and I'm dying to know whats going to happen!

The studios have been insisting that programs be streamed online for a certain period, deemed promotional, during which writers would forego residuals. When payment kicked in, the companies sought to limit it to a flat $1,200 fee, while the guild wanted a percentage of a distributor's revenue.

Give them their money already! Without them your shows will stop! But of course they should have limits too, $1,200 is a lot already :) So everybody is happy!

A little more after the jump!


The guild extended its own olive branch before the informal talks started by withdrawing the reality-animation unionization proposal and by deciding to keep pickets away from the Grammy Awards. It has since decided to allow the music ceremony to proceed with full union support.

They already ruined that other one,.... what was the name. Better not ruin the rest people will hate 'em for that! :P I mean if not those people in America people outside, we actually like watching those filthy rich American celebrities hang out together and receive awards and stuff!

However, the fate of the Feb. 24 Academy Awards has remained in question, with the guild so far declining to grant its blessing to the show. A union refusal to cooperate with the Golden Globes decimated the ceremony, which was boycotted by supportive actors.

Okay.... so can we have Heroes back on TV now?!

Saint Feast Day



Today is February 2 and the Catholic Church celebrates the feast day (one of many) of the Martyrs of Ebsdorf in Germany.


"A group of four bishops, eleven noblemen, and companions led by St. Bruno. They were slain by Norsemen while serving in the army of King Louis III of France. These martyrs died at Luneberg Heath, at Ebsdorf, Saxony, in modem Germany, repelling the Norse assault."


This all happened in 880 AD. Can you imagine how old (and rich in history) our faith is? :)

I'm trying to imagine bishops trying to defend a town against those huge norsemen... oooh it's not nice!

Feast days of more Saints for today after the jump.
