Of Packing and Unpacking

July 6, 2008

So you see I’m supposed to be stuffing those boxes at the right with clothes and books and cds and all my personal stuff. And instead, I’m watching a marathon of How I Met Your Mother on the pirated DVD channel, playing Freecell, and YMing all at the same time. You might be wondering what the heck is the pirated DVD channel. It’s a local channel here where they show pirated DVDs all day complete with the blue Sony screen where where they show the eject button, choose language… and sometimes, the operator falls asleep right after he accidentally presses the pause button or the fast forward button… usually happens when I’m riveted with a movie in the middle of the night. Anyway, the pirated DVD channel is totally not my topic. So you see… I’m procrastinating packing so much that I’m even procrastinating blogging about packing.

Watch The Middleman and Be ROCKED

July 2, 2008

The Middleman is a new TV series based on a comic book by Javier Grillo-Marxuach. It’s about a secret agency that deals with “exotic problems” like talking gorillas, evil terracotta warriors, and vengeful luchadores. It sounds silly, but it’s a smart amalgamation of comedy and science fiction. I totally loved the first two episodes, and after I saw the third one, it dawned on me: This is quite possibly the most awesome TV show in the history of all that you know. I suggest you all watch the show and be ROCKED. If you need to be convinced, let me spoil the aforementioned third episode for you:

The Middleman (Matt Keeslar) is one swell guy, but he does need a helping hand once in a while. That’s where his trusty hot sidekick, Wendy (Natalie Morales), comes in.

What’s in a Name?

June 29, 2008

I had to renew my Drivers’ License yesterday. It will be expiring this weekend *hint hint*. Good thing my dad brought me to LTO Aguinaldo/Cubao where there are significantly less people, cars and fixers. I abhor bureaucracy and its inefficiency and a crowded office makes it worse. I passed time waiting for my turnS (with an S because you have to wait for your turn several times as you have to go through several windows for processing, verification, cashier, 2 pictures and signatures, drug test and medical examinations etc. etc.) watching the Lakers-Celtics game (Go Celtics!).

My Favorite TV Commercial in Singapore

June 27, 2008

I have been seeing this TV commercial in Channel News Asia for a long time. And I must admit that it is my favorite commercial since we only have one channel in our TV. It is a TV commercial from an insurance company. Just watch and be amazed with their concept. I just love this commercial.

As it is.

June 21, 2008

I will be trying different things from now on. Things not including alcohol, nicotine, and partying. And spending my whole paycheck into empty things.

Like for example, useful and informative blogging. I have been trying to get into it for a long time now, I just can’t find the right timing and inspiration to actually do it. So what made me start now? Paid blogging. Fun right? Paid or not, I will still continue to blog.

For some blogging is a form of tension release, as well as mind therapy. When you have lots of things in mind, and you can’t stop fidgeting alone, you would always want to talk and say things aloud. Just for the sake of releasing it. The usual bigger problem on top of that is you don’t have anyone to talk to. No loved one to share it with, friends are all busy, or you’re a plain dead kid.. a loner.

I do that. Most of the time. Hell I do that everytime I blog. And often than not, I actually don’t care if someone reads and comments post after post. But I’m getting tired of my usual topics.. i mean topic.. myself. Boring. For most blog hoppers. Not for me. so it’s time to make a change.

From now on, I will keep my personal blogs in my multiply page, where most of my friends can annotate, and informative blogs here. Topics would vary from my passion: teaching to whatnots like grass or rain. Whatever that can be useful to any form of creature who flies around the cyber world. Music, movies, books, people, happenings. My grammar isn’t at all grand, but I learned English enough during my school years, so pardon me if I lack a little in my communication skills. I ask of you now for a little encouragement and appreciation that a small blogger like me can be an instrument to cater to whatever needs bloggers and non-bloggers have. For now, let’s just leave this blog as it is. An intoduction.

Thank you.

I Plead Guilty To Murdering Santa Claus

June 20, 2008

One of the perks of being home alone is the chance to think about things that I normally don’t think about. Or refuse to think about, whichever is applicable. I ransacked my fridge hoping to find something edible but which requires no cooking. All I got was a pack of lobster sticks that had expired approximately a year and a half ago. Everything else in the fridge required heat before ingestion. So I opted to starve instead as I saw no point in cooking and then eating all by my lonesome self.

Then I thought about the most interesting person I could think of at this very moment–ME. The gods must have been waiting for this move, this introspection, because they decided to create the best ambiance for me. Rain clouds suddenly chased the sun away, the temperature dropped a few degrees lower, and birds stopped chirping (the gods probably know how I hate those silly lovebirds my brother kept and how I have long wanted to twist their puny little necks to forever silence them).

What Would You Do If Your Blog Went Pffft?

June 18, 2008

“Now Toe,” you bloggers out there are probably thinking, “why would you want to scare us like that? What a horrible nightmare!” Nothing frightens a blogger to death more than the thought of his or her blog disappearing into oblivion. But disasters do happen. It’s not that bad, actually. In fact, I did it not once. Not twice. But three. Whole. Times. It’s been occurring with alarming frequency that I’m actually getting used to it…if it’s possible for anyone to get used to a constant state of panic.

The first time I lost my blog, I was trying to upgrade my wordpress when without warning, “404 not found” screamed at me from the computer screen and if it’s possible, cyberically punched my gut. My stomach turned upside-down and I felt like throwing up. It was almost like losing a loved one. Thankfully, after days of excruciating waiting, Job, my bloghost recovered it.

Behind the Planet: Catching Up with Pluto

June 8, 2008

Less than 2 years ago, Pluto was demoted to being a dwarf planet. I covered the reactions of the other planets after the shocking demotion. Now, it’s time that we check up on the ex-planet. It’s time for us to go Behind the Planet, or should I say, the dwarf planet. Snapz!

After Pluto was expelled from our solar system’s planetary club, life went on for the remaining 8 planets. Jupiter proceeded to brag about his awesome Great Red Spot, Mercury continued with his eccentric orbit around the Sun, and Earth stayed blue and pretty. Business as usual. Pluto, however, went on to follow a lonely dark path to deep depression.

AA Reports Money Misery For Mobile Phone Using Motorists

This is claimed by AA Insurance, when it indicated that consumers who choose flouting the law by talking on a mobile phone while at the wheel will be stung with a fixed-penalty notice of 60 pounds. Click here to continue

Baby Names My Future Wife Will Probably Hate

May 29, 2008

Notice I used “probably” in the title instead of “surely”? Well that’s because there’s a slight chance that I’ll marry someone who will totally be OK with my brilliant ideas like pizza for breakfast everyday. Lots of crazy chicks running around these days.

A few days ago, a discussion was started on Twitter about baby names. I’d like to link to the relevant tweets, but I’m lazy. Yay me! Besides, you’d be lucky to read those tweets because Twitter’s being a douche these days. Anyway, that discussion reminded me of one baby name that I really loved ever since high school. “Scarlett”. I don’t know, there’s something about that name that evokes strength and femininity. But I stopped loving it when Scarlett Johansson became a prominent fixture in Hollywood. Just think about it. If I name my future daughter “Scarlett”, the first thing that will come to mind whenever I say her name is this:

scarlett johansson

That would be totally weird. So I’m thinking maybe it’s time I think of new baby names that I’ll try to give my future kids and will probably be rejected by my future wife who will totally be a pain in my future ass. Here’s what I came up with:

When Husbands Get Sick

May 27, 2008

About two weekends ago, Honey threw his back after exercising. Suddenly, he couldn’t move and he was in excruciating pain. I panicked. What was I to do? Who’s going to cook my lunch? ;)

Well, you know the rule here in Cambodia where emergency and hospital services and facilities are not yet very good and medical evacuation is ridiculously expensive - Bawal magkasakit sa Cambodia (You are not allowed to get sick in Cambodia).

So I was about to do the only Filipino-style first aid remedy I know - apply White Flower. Thank God that Evil Big Brother (and I say evil with much affection) had the foresight, good sense, and presence of mind to marry a physical therapist who I called up immediately. I must say that although I got a great family discount on the consultation fee (i.e. pro bono, gratis, or free), it still ended up expensive due to the high overseas calls rate.
