People with Super-Memories Forget Nothing

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:03:00 +0000

People with Super-Memories Forget Nothing, can you imagine that? Read on!

This According to LiveScience:

Imagine never forgetting anything. Virtue? Curse?
Four people are said to have such "super-memories," including the latest case, a Southern California man who researchers don't plan to identify by name. According to USA Today, the man recalls in detail most days of his life, as well as the day and date of key public events, said researchers Larry Cahill.

The newspaper interviewed Jill Price, another person with a super memory. Price discussed her mind lat year in the book "The Woman Who Can't Forget."

There is much about memory that scientists don't understand. Only this month, in fact, they found that a single brain cell can hold a memory for a brief period before it's put in long-term storage, a feat that requires connections between brain cells.

Two areas in Price's brain are responsible: the caudate nuclei, typically used for memory when forming automatic habits; and a part of the temporal lobe that stores facts, dates and events, Cahill told USA TODAY. The two brain areas might work together, in ways not realized before, to make allow the unforgettable connections.

Better understanding of the condition could lead to improvements in grasping the science of memory in regular folks, the researchers figure.

How grateful I'd be if I had super memory for the boards, or anything for that matter!

The Pope is right, condoms are aiding AIDS by Martyn Drakard

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 10:39:00 +0000

Here goes this article I agree with:

The Pope is right, condoms are aiding AIDS

Guest Writers
Written by Martyn Drakard
Thursday, 26 March 2009 12:12
On the first leg of Benedict XVI’s first trip to Africa as Pope, a French journalist not surprisingly asked him about the African AIDS epidemic.

In the minds of most people from the West, among such things as corruption, child soldiers, famine and witchcraft, Africa = Aids, and AIDS = condoms. He replied: “The scourge cannot be resolved by distributing condoms; quite the contrary, we risk worsening the problem.” His brief answer provoked an international controversy and violent reactions in the Western press.
“Impeach the Pope!” wrote the Washington Post. “The Pope is a disaster” reported the Daily Telegraph. The Seattle Times accused the Pope of living in an “alternate universe”. “Grievously wrong!” said the New York Times. “There is no evidence that condom use is aggravating the epidemic and considerable evidence that condoms, though no panacea, can be helpful in many circumstances.”
Rather than basing the argument on emotions, business interests or ideology, the case for condoms must face scientific facts. A Harvard expert on AIDS prevention, Dr. Edward C. Green, said “the Pope is actually correct”. Dr. Green has written five books and over 250 peer-reviewed articles, and is an agnostic, not a Catholic. Last year, he wrote in the journal First Things that the never-enough-condoms explanation of the AIDS epidemic is driven “not by evidence, but by ideology, stereotypes and false assumptions.”

Dr. Green is not a lone voice. In an article in the leading British medical journal, The Lancet, James Shelton, of the US Agency for International Development, stated openly that one of the 10 damaging myths about the fight against AIDS is that condoms are the answer. “They have limited impact in generalised epidemics,” he wrote.
In 2004, an article in the journal- “Studies in Family Planning” admitted that “no clear examples have emerged yet of a country that has turned back a generalised epidemic primarily by means of condom promotion.” In fact, in Cameroon, precisely where the Pope was flying to when he made his “infamous” remarks, between 1992 and 2001 condom sales increased from 6 to 15 million, while HIV prevalence tripled, from 3 to 9 per cent.

After years of racking their brains about the high prevalence rate of AIDS in Africa, the most affected region in the world, which accounted for 72% of deaths from the disease in 2007, researchers are concluding that the reason is the widespread practice of “multiple concurrent partnerships.” Something that we have already learned in Uganda, where most new cases crop up among married people who have a mistress or boy-friend on the side.

In a highly-acclaimed 2007 book, The Invisible Cure: Africa, the West, and the Fight against AIDS, the medical journalist Helen Epstein admits that she had always attributed the epidemic to prostitution, poverty, discrimination against women and low condom use. But after observing that HIV rates were increasing despite high condom use, she realised that “multiple long-term partnerships”, which she referred to as the “superhighway of infections”, was the problem. Her conclusion: “a collective shift in sexual norms, especially partner reduction, is crucial.”

Dr. Green also pointed out that condoms “may even exacerbate HIV infection levels due to a phenomenon called risk compensation, or behavioural disinhibition. People take more sexual risks because they feel safer than is actually justified when using condoms.”
The experts are coming round to the conviction that the real, lasting solution is “partner reduction”, fidelity in marriage, something the Pope has been saying all along.

Dr. Green declared that the “faith-based communities have a comparative advantage in promoting the needed types of behaviour change, since these behaviours conform to their moral, ethical and scriptural teachings. What the churches are inclined to do anyway turns out to be what works best in AIDS prevention.”
But back to the controversy. In France it was roughest of all. Yet two MPs braved the stormy weather on their Blogs. One, Christian Vanneste, called for responsibility in medical research, a proper distribution of therapies and care of the sick; and said the “popular pack of hounds of materialists and hedonists is very far from being able to understand the (Pope’s) message. The solid mass of faithful gathered around the Pope at this moment is giving a better answer.”
The other, Jacques Remiller, accused the French political class of carrying out a “veritable witch-hunt against Benedict XVI”, and said the Western countries should stop considering the condom as the “only solution” to the problem of AIDS in Africa.

The short sentence of the Pope has flown much further than the French journalist expected and, despite its possibly mischievous intent, may eventually work against the pro-condom lobby. It will bring into the open a debate that must be argued with facts and scientific evidence and not with slogans, lazy thinking and prejudice, and an eye to big profits in the pharmaceutical industry.

Obama bows to Saudi King????

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:53:00 +0000

1:38 President Barack Hussein Obama BOWS while giving a handshake to the King of Saudi Arabia who's one of many titles but most important is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.

Was it like he was going to kiss that ring or was I dreaming? Something like a Catholic would do when they meet the Pope. Or was he just thanking the Al-Sauds for paying for his Harvard Education care of Al-Mansour? Or is it because his slip about his "Muslim Faith" is something 27 years of being a Christian seemingly did not wipe out?

And from Salon.com what is up with his birth certificate? http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/12/05/birth_certificate/

This just has newbie allover.

Hillary Clinton forgets she is no longer senator and cannot be pronouncing about proposed laws that have not been passed or have not seen the light of day or approval of the government, in corollary, she is spoken out of turn in promising things she has no authority to make. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/2009/03/29/hillarys-mexico-visit-blunders-ignored-old-media

Obama is complicating and confusing protocol (order, structure and protocol is what makes diplomacy stable, viable and what makes it work; out of that diplomacy would be a unusable wreak) : http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/12/pub-presidential-protocol/

Fasting for Lent

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:33:00 +0000

Did you guys know that according to Canon 1253:

"On days of fasting, one eats only one full meal, but may eat two smaller meals as necessary to keep up one's strength. The two small meals together must sum to less than the one full meal. Parallel to the fasting laws are the laws of abstinence. These bind those over the age of fourteen. On days of abstinence, the person must not eat meat or poultry. According to canon law, all Fridays of the year, Ash Wednesday and several other days are days of abstinence, though in most countries, the strict requirements of abstinence have been limited by the bishops (in accordance with Canon 1253) to the Fridays of Lent and Ash Wednesday. On other abstinence days, the faithful are invited to perform some other act of penance."

So guys only one full meal and two collations :)

Some Obamistakes I found so early on to his presidency

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 03:00:00 +0000

I got this from Jihad Watch, a very interesting website indeed:

Obama wants more Muslims in his Administration, and to work closely with Muslim community in U.S.

But no worries: his list of potential Muslim appointees has been "carefully vetted." How carefully? We can get a hint of the answer from the involvement of Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN). Congressman Ellison recently made the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca that is one of the five pillars of Islam. The Muslim American Society paid for his Hajj. And what is the Muslim American Society? The Muslim Brotherhood.

"In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation's major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members." -- Chicago Tribune, 2004.

And who is the Muslim Brotherhood? The Muslim Brotherhood "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." -- "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991.

Imagine if a conservative Congressman had taken a trip that had been paid for by a Christian group that was, according to one of its own documents, dedicated to "eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house" so that Christian law would replace the U.S. Constitution. I expect we would hear more of an outcry than we ever heard about Ellison's Hajj.

"Carefully vetted"!

"Obama gets list of top Muslim Americans," from the Denver Post, March 27 (thanks to Pamela):

CHICAGO — In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation's most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.
The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.

"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."

So what do I find wrong there?

This: "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

That to me is very typical of Islam and VERY WRONG.

Next thing I saw was this which is so typical of them again:

So the Jews are "Those who are struck by Allah's wrath" and Christians are "misguided"?

Oh wait a minute... I do remember the Jews being the first called to God and his covenant with them still stands, next I do remember the name Jesus Christ as being the Lord Savior of and Emmanuel of the Old Testament upon whom many called him the Son of God that upon his death the Temple Veil was torn into two? Signifying his sacrifice as atonement for all sins?

Also is Islam not 622 years younger than Christianity? And that Judaism is even way older than Islam, and that Islam bases a large part of its religion and belief on these two older Abrahamic religions? So does that mean Islam is basing parts of its belief in a "misguided" and "those who will be struck by Allah" people? Absurd.

No really why teach children to hate? And why deny a historical account of the Qu'ran? To escape scrutiny and scholarly study as to it's origins? Gosh sorry to those who will be offended but, I really find this religion as a religion of violence.

Itunes could not connect to the iPod "Aaron's Ipod" because an unknown error occurred (0xE800005E)

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:22:00 +0000

So I have a huge dilemma, this morning when i used my Itouch oh no! Lo and behold! It was acting weird! it couldn't find my wireless network, it wasn't saving settings properly, and it was just plain acting up. Since the New York times app was asking to be connected to Itunes so it could work I said, maybe my Itouch needs a sync....

Then this message appears upon connecting my iPod touch's usb connector to my Vista PC:

"Itune could not connect to the iPod "Aaron's Ipod" because an unknown error occured (0xE800005E)"

I search the internet and I find this site fron ilounge forums, it tells me to do a forced reset, so here I go trying to following the instruction which sound so confusing....

draw back is i'll lose my information, thats what it says...

thinking back I remember reading from a forum before that low memory space does bad things to an iPod so I checked my memory and only 26MB of 8GB is left so that sounds bad right so I guess oh well maybe thats the culprit.

So I go ahead and press the power off button and the front button which i have no idea what it was so i just press the home button, trying to do a forced reset.

Instead a dialogue comes up to turn off or power down the itouch, I have to swipe to select this. So instead I do that.

I turn my device back on by holding the power button down for quite a while, and VOILA!

I can connect my Itouch again. So folks, if you have problems with your Itouch, maybe it just needs to be powered off and on again just like my PC when it has bad days it needs a reset to refresh and clear up its memory!

Hope someone out there gets this and finds it useful because honestly there were no entries on Google for Error (0xE800005E) at least now we have one solution to it!

Hope this helps!

Ohio High School Basketball Player shoots a 90 Feet Whole-Court Shot at Buzzer Time!!

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:45:00 +0000

Haha this seems so impossible but can you imagine that? This High School kid named Casey Weber threw a whole-court short before the buzzer at the third quarter from 90-feet away - and it went in!!! And whats the big deal with that? During practice time for the team, he does it again, after only the second shot. I bet if he practices this more he can actually do it! See another video of him doing it during practice after the jump!

So he's a highschool student from Dayton Christian High and with camera's rolling he shoots it again!! Click here for the video of that and click here for the news source on Yahoo!.

Well I found another nice whole court shot below which is equally nice! :P

Hope you enjoyed because I did!

The Street (Feb 27, 2009)

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:13:00 +0000

Starting today I'll be writing poems here. Hopefully one for each day of the year. Read on to read my first poem.

The Street

It was a day like any other day,
but not unlike the day that passed.
And today, I watched people make their way,
the time, passing by so fast.

In the midst of a sunny afternoon,
the humid air was sticking to my skin,
much like a problem yet so picayune,
only to get back to us with chagrin.

I could've walked on the street,
with the people, made my way.
Or someone new i could meet,
kill this desire away.

And yet today was just like yesterday.
I just sat at the parquet.
not wanting more nor dwindling away,
I let the time pass me by today.

Things I noticed today!

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:42:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:30:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:06:00 +0000

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.

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:23:00 +0000

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.

16 days from now, students will be back to school. Many will be like my cousin who will be going to college for the first time. Exciting times it is, and how I wish I could drop my job, ask my mom to enroll me in some exotic diploma course like culinary arts or something and then I'll be as excited as those students 16 days from now.

What I expect is that 16 days from now I'd still be at work. Hopefully work will be nice to me.

It's Haunting Me?

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Sat, 31 May 2008 01:58:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Thu, 29 May 2008 10:54:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:50:00 +0000

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!

noreply@blogger.com (aaron.) — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:57:00 +0000

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!
