Food Post #2: Roast Porkchops with Potatoes and Leeks
And so the challenge of coming up with a gourmet meal continues. I came up with something original. One thing I hate is that I don’t have them big white plates for better presentation. Anyway, after several failures and misses in my cooking, I managed to come up with something pleasing to both the eyes and the mouth.
If you’re trying this recipe, please let me know how it turns out in your end. Also, let me know what else can be added to improve the taste.
Food Post #1: Lechon Kawali with a twist
Ever since my marriage, I’ve developed a love for cooking. I’ve started cooking different meals for my wife (since we’re poor and we can’t househelp). Of course, I started with the basics. The simple ones, gradually evolving to more complicated dishes. This isn’t the first time I made Lechon Kawali. It’s the first time though, that I cooked it using a thin-assed pot. Fortunately, due to my madcookingskillz, it turned out to be awesome.
Here’s my simple recipe: Continue reading…
Gundam Kit #2: MK-II RX-178 Titan
Honestly, it’s been a while now since I finished putting the kit together. I just didn’t have time to snap pictures and post them here. LOLz. Anyway, this kit’s much more gratifying compared to the Blitz Gundam kit that I bought last September. The parts are more detailed, there are more stickers included, more joints (hence more moves). I was my excited and perky self again the moment I bought the kit. It was one day before my days-off. I had planned it that way in order to have an unlimited amount of time to assemble and customize kit. Read more of Gundam Kit #2: MK-II RX-178 Titan…
Eight things you should never do on a first date
Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who do such wrong things on the first date. I for one have had a lot of negative experiences, like getting slapped, getting slapped, getting slapped. Okay, I was a creep back then, but let’s all concentrate on the topic. This is a guide for neophytes in the dating game.
Please note that each item in this guide outlines a brief summary, appended with a brief scenario on the positive and negative effects of following the item.
1. Don’t be late
It is imperative that you arrive on time for your date. Remember, first impressions last. May I also stress that arriving on time is one of the major prerequisites to a successful date. Arriving early will give you the chance to familiarize yourself with the venue for the date. This means that this allows you to look for the nearest exit in case you need to bail out suddenly and you don’t have the heart to tell your date. Arriving late on the other hand will make you less of a man. Your date may think that, a. you’re a lazy bastard; b. you’re too poor to own a watch; c. you still live with your mom. If you have a problem with time management, then it is recommended that you plan your date 3 months in advance. This gives you the time to plan your drinking sessions, cancel your other dates, ask for date money from your parents. Schmuck. Continue reading Eight things you should never do on a first date…
An Open Letter to an Asshole and New Year’s Resolutions
To the Asshole who shutdown my computer,
Hi! How does this day find you? I hope you get hit by a fucking bus today. Thanks to your little activity, I have lost several important files that I was working on. Sure, MS Excel has this recovery thing, but that didn’t save all of it! What’s worse is that you didn’t even fucking call me about it. My phone number’s all over my email signature. It’s even in the directory. You just left a little gay note. You even used my post-it. Asshole. I bet you used my pen too, huh?

Conversations With An A-hole
New theme, new post. I wanted to rant about the asshole who created this new theme that I’m using. What’s more is that I’d like to have a conversation with him and tell him personally what sucks in his theme. Because I’m too lazy to contact him, and because email is not personal (duh?!). Also, that girl in the picture is… Read on.
Conversations With The Inner Self
Every human being has an inner self. No matter how much we deny it, that other side of us is there, lurking in our subconscious, making itself known through Freudian Slips, dreams, mutterings, etc.. How well do we know ourselves? How well do we know our inner selves?
St. Francis Square is Full of Win Too!
If fastfood joints and shopping malls are full of win, tiangge’s are too. All you have to do is open your eyes to the fun and exciting world of LOLness.
A few days ago, my wife and I went to St. Francis  Square in Ortigas in search for bargain clothing. Yeah, we’re cheap like that. While she tried a few pieces of clothing, I went around in search for some ass cheap, cool looking shirts. I managed to find a great one – black, with the words, “You can take away everything from me, but you can’t stop me from being EMO,” printed on the front. Cool eh? Anyway, more awesome than the shirt were the signs in the tiangge.
For those who’re living under boulders of dung, St.  Francis Square is located at the back of the SM MegaMall in Ortigas. It’s right along Doña Julia Vargas St. If you’re claustrophobic, don’t even think about shopping there. It’s like a miniaturized version of the GreenHills Shopping Mall minus the annoying dibidi guys.
Right. So the second floor isn’t much, but there were more stores at the far end of the floor. There’s 2A, and as the sign says, we should be going there for more RTW. I took the liberty of capturing the first idiotic sign that I saw with my high-tech-outdated-pseudo-CSI-esque cellphone. Click to read more of this compelling tale!
From Call Center Agent to Manager in 2 Years
My very first job was for a then popular pager company. I don’t know if they’re still a company or still alive but several years ago, when the cellular phone age in the Philippines was about to take off, I was hired by them for an Outbound Telemarketing job. Of course back in the day, the call centers weren’t known as call centers yet. They were just jobs. And so I started to work there. There were no contracts, no tax deductions, no health benefits. Just report for work, make your sales, then at the end of the day, pack up and go home. Calls were only for about 5 hours, excluding lunch breaks and short breaks. You either had sales or not. If you didn’t have sales, the managers would threaten to fire you the next day if you didn’t improve. At the end of the day, all the employees would meet, and the Ex-Pats would handout several thousand to the day’s top players. Tax Free. That’s about 6,000 pesos per night if you were the top player.

Fast Foods, Malls, Jeepneys, and Trains are Full of Win!
Public transportation is fun. You get to see all sorts of people. You encounter the Orcs, the Geeks, the Stupids, the Assholes, the Goody-Two-Shoes, the Hotties, the Godawful Fags, etc. Don’t take me wrong. I have nothing against these people. I just enjoy observing their sense of fashion and their utter stupidity. I’ve managed to take quick pics (using my hardcore-state-of-the-art-camphone-yeah) of these beings in action. Note that some of the pics were taken in the mall while trawling for the Hotties (and not actually finding one because it was a Sunday). Yeah. Shut. Up. Read on and see if you get the funnies in this post. Flamers and do-gooders are welcome apart from the usual faithful readers. Oh and if this guy Jason , the one who commented on my piece on Jhozel’s reading this, dude, this is the blog post that you have been looking for man! LOL!1 Read on and view the pics.
