Not a lazy Sunday

2012-01-29T07:04:00.002+08:00

Sunday morning is my favorite of all mornings. For one, we have no work – officially, that is – on Sundays. I don't like Saturday morning as I don't feel relaxed as of yet because of the work week that has just ended. And on Sundays, it's almost I am so relieved of all the stresses of the previous days. Let me describe

Apple

2012-01-25T17:07:00.003+08:00

take a bite. it's alright. I remember having a debate with one of my friends regarding Apple iDevices and Android phones. I was so passionate in saying Android is so much better in all aspects than any iDevices you can think of. I said Android is so much more awesome because it offers free apps way better than Apple's offering. Everything about iPhone 4S, I said, was alreday a late offering

Money cannot buy happiness

2012-01-20T09:33:00.000+08:00

We have heard not just once, not just twice or twice, that money cannot buy happiness. Maybe. Maybe not. I tried to make an "experiment" and see if this is true to myself. My experiment, I list down some things that I've got (and wish I have) and tried to remember if those things made me (will make me) happy/happier. And not surprisingly, my happiness level increases as the monetary value of the

Another insight on the CJ Corona Impeachment Trial

2012-01-17T00:01:00.000+08:00

As I see it, this is going to be a battle of legalese.* I'm not sure if we'd hear stuff like "hindi po kinakain ang iced tea, iniinom po." I have not seen everything yet (the Articles of Impeachment) but based on some news articles and reports that I have see so far (e.g., see PCIJ's report on the SALN issue - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjv8rIarir4&feature=email), I think the Impeachment

My initial thoughts on CJ Corona Impeachment Trial

2012-01-16T14:03:00.001+08:00

In the News Noynoy is confident Corona will be convicted. Paano kapag hindi siya na-convict? Hindi na din niya rerespetuhin ang desisyon ng Senado? Prosecution to Corona: Explain before the Senate, and not in front of your supporters. Woohoo!!! Panalo. While this is really funny at its best, I'm not surprised. 185 of the 188 congressmen who signed to impeach Corona because he did not make his

Dear Dr. Love

2012-01-16T08:08:00.001+08:00

Hehehe. Parang totoo no? A friend of mine once asked me (yeaaaaaars back) about a problem she's having during that time. She posted my advice in her Facebook account. And whoala! Hehehe. 1. Even if a guy is attracted to you, it does NOT automatically mean he likes you. 2. Even if a guy likes you, it does NOT mean that he would pursue you. 3. Even if a guy pursues you, it does NOT mean he

Going back home

2012-01-14T23:09:00.000+08:00

My brother will be back from Australia by the week after next. And I am excited for so many reasons: 1. Pasalubong, syempre. Hehehe. He gave us a clue what they are and my sister is just so excited she even asked my brother to send the stuff via an overseas courier if possible. Hehehe. Ang sama! He asked me to choose between some northface jackets and something else. I chose the latter... the

Masaya ito

2012-01-11T09:04:00.000+08:00

If one's failure to disclose SALNs is now an impeachable offense, then a long list of officials should also now be expunged from public office, including Ombudsman Carpio-Morales and by their own assertion, even 185 of the 188 members of the 15th Congress who filed the impeachment complaint against Corona but have not disclosed copies of their own SALNs. From InterAksyon's report: SC justices,

dreaming. it's more fun in neverland.

2012-01-09T01:52:00.001+08:00

Do you know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you. That's where I'll be waiting. -- Wendy to Peter Pan Hahaha. Sorry. A cheesy post.* :-) But seriously, have you ever been in that situation where/when you really can't be sure if you are dreaming or not? if you are awake or not ala-Inception? Been there so many

Inquirer is funnier (really)

2012-01-07T14:09:00.001+08:00

http://www.inquirer.net/?page-one=january-7-2011 The headline looks/reads something like this: Editor killed in GenSan: Why should you go to the Philippines They really had to layout it that way, huh? While I really don't like how the DOT slogan was crafted, at least I am just voicing out my opinion in here (and only just a few of you guys actually can read this, hehehe). But Inquirer

Is it more fun in the Philippines or in Switzerland?

2012-01-06T18:58:00.001+08:00

It is not about whether it is a coincidence or not, it's not about whether it was used by Switzerland yesterday or half a century ago, it's about how they exerted effort on how to come up with a new campaign slogan! This slogan according to DOT was a result of months of studies and consultations by professionals who can afford those expensive personalized cufflinks. If that was true, how come

To The Crazy Ones

2012-01-05T10:34:00.001+08:00

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While

Another circus in the making

2012-01-04T08:22:00.000+08:00

The Corona Impeachment is something we really should be looking forward to. Just like Erap's impeachment, up to all the Senate and HR investigations, this is going to be another circus on free TV. Congressmen-prosecutors are so eager to have their 15 minutes of fame... so eager such that they would call press conferences and present their "evidence" to the public ahead of the actual impeachment

Someone like you (Adele)

2012-01-04T06:34:00.001+08:00

Have you heard that song before? I liked it the very first time I heard it. Yesterday, while I was humming the song, my sister heard me and told me she saw a part of that lyrics posted in someone's wall. When I asked what the lyrics was, she said it was something like, Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead. Curioused, I search the whole lyrics and it was only then that I

Happy New Year!!!

2012-01-01T00:18:00.001+08:00

From the bottom of my heart, Manigong Bagong Taon sa lahat ng makakabasa nito. (Or kahit di nabasa basta naramdaman. Hehehe.)

New Start for the New Year

2011-12-28T17:59:00.001+08:00

Malaking business opportunity na naman ito. Anyone interested? Just send me your bank account details (username and password if you have online banking accounts), and some more. I promise this is not the usual scam (the ones claiming they have certified us coins that you can sell for huge amounts? oh. there's no scam like that? sorry.) you receive from time to time. :-D See details below. ---

4 more years!!!

2011-12-28T04:23:00.002+08:00

A warrant of arrest was issued hours after tons of documents were submitted. A CJ was impeached without signatories knowing why they are doing this (it's just that they are afraid to be tagged enemies of the regime). A call for CJ replacement in case the CJ will be unseated was made in bad taste (what? rubber stamp Congress and Senate?). Should I even include how shooting and drinking buddies

New comment on Superman, Son Goku, and The Hulk

2011-12-27T14:38:00.001+08:00

This post was actually a reply of a certain Bryson to a post of mine where I asked who is the strongest between Superman, The Hulk, or Son Gokou. He believes it's The Hulk and I am convinced. Almost. Here's his reply in its entirety. ~~~ Before reading this you should know this WILL be lengthy. As stated above, it is clearly between The Hulk and Goku. Lets run down both of their powers and

Pwede ba namang wala akong greetings sa mga loyal readers ko? :-) (At sabi ng kapatid ko, feeling ko daw ang dami-dami ng nagbabasa ng blog ko. Ang sabi ko naman, talaga!)

Gmail and Masterchef

[GUEST POST FROM XYZ*] Google is the best company in the world... Gmail is the best e-mail provider. :-) I remember the time when having a Gmail was a privilege only to some people who were invited by people who have Gmail account. You still remember that year? Gmail started with 2 GB of free storage. That was a WOW then! I think Yahoo! Mail only offers 500 MB before. Now, Gmail offers 7 GB

I was watching one of the best movies of all time a while ago. And I just love this part: Panel member: Doctor Arroway, you come to us with no evidence, no record, no artifacts. Only a story that to put it mildly strains credibility. Over half a trillion dollars was spent, dozens of lives were lost. Are you really going to sit there and tell us we should just take this all... on faith? [pause,
