Death along the river

It was a rainy evening. I was walking with my friends Darren, Rina, and Morris from Riverbanks alongside the river of Marikina. We don't usually walk from there to the Riverpark because of the great distance. But it was surely a stress-reliever and we get to chat along the way.

The trail was not as developed as today. It was a bamboo forest and all we hear are crickets, flowing water and little breeze but I tell you it is not a cozy one. Instead, we tell spooky stories to scare ourselves but we all laugh when someone spills a joke on it. To make ourselves feel that there's nothing to be scared about.

We tripped, climbed, somehow slipped, and we helped each other to pass the trail. The rain poured harder but we don't have any umbrella to cover us. So we let ourselves get wet and then went under a shade when we found one. When it calmed down, we managed to continue walking until we reached the end of it.

At the exit, we are still scaring the heck out of us and I was also calmed when we see people walking at the exit. Suddenly a scythe appeared on my site. The image completed when I saw DEATH in person. The scare in me grew stronger as I thought as I was the only one seeing it. It came closer and closer. Then I screamed at the top of my voice, "Morris!" I went at the back of my friends as we pass him.

They are looking at me clueless and they told me it was a just man in costume. TOINK!

Until now I remember this story and it was the object of laughter of my friends when Halloween arrives.

Plurk tayo!

i've just created my Plurk account yesterday and i realized that i got hooked now. i post shoutouts on real time and get replies on real time too. hmm, better than YM? i think not. but i can update my friends on my other sites.

one cute feature of Plurk is that it has this Filipino option where all other statements on the site go Tagalised. your profile and all content translates to our native language. speaking of profile, we know all the blah-blahs from your name, etc. and just like friendster, even your civil status. when i chose to Tagalise my profile, this came on:


bastus din tong Plurk na to a! OO na! NAG-IISA NA KUNG NAG-IISA! d naman ako malungkot! :P nakaka-Plurkey to!

jamond pill

finally i had my diamond peel from the voucher my sister gave me months ago at slimmer's world. i had this scheduled supposedly last friday but the rain stops me to go. i wanted to give the free vouchers (yes, free kaya patulan na diba? hehe..) to somebody else but i thought of the regret of giving them away.

then last tuesday, the slots are fully-booked so i had it re-scheduled last night. this was my very first facial treatment, aside from the regular cleanser rituals at home. a little pain when the apparatus scrapes my face but a bit i'm satisfied with the outcome. my face turned smoother and the bumps are gone. they applied some lotion after the scraping thing, by the way.

afterwards, the attendant and i had a little talk and offered me their promos. they have the gym membership and the skincare membership na tumataginting na 12k!!! but the promo price has been cut down to 6k (still very expensive for me) and they gave me an option that i may use my credit card. the thing is, i am not using my card(s) anymore to get out of debt. but for a 6k package which includes visits and treatments, i think that pretty much reasonable and cheap.

maybe i'll try the gym next time.

trabaho ala-MYX

while waiting for the staff to send me their finished subtitles, nag-trip muna akong gumawa ng mga ala-MYX videos. one LSS is No Air by jordin sparks and chris brown. ang saya! but i didn't get to subtitle yung mga kulot nila and screams. kung kaya nyong i-operate ang mga ito, mag-eenjoy din kayo.



from an episode of American Idol 7

at napag-tripan ko din yung 4 Minutes by madonna and JT. hahaha...
yan ang ginagawa ng mga busy. sana nga ganito nalang lagi gagawin ko, mas enjoy pako.

too bad you can't see my finished work dito. hirap kasi i-lay ung subtitles sa movie maker e.

works better with SoftNi Subtitler Suite.

Pinakamatakaw na Weekend... yet

last friday pag-uwi e wala palang dinner sa bahay. pero nakakain ako ng happy meal sa mcdo before umuwi. btw, i got the HuanHuan, JingJing and Nini toys. dahil bitin, ang salubong ni mama e dala na daw nya yung Palm Card from Pizza Hut na matagal nyang hinihingi sa kumare nya. and since mejo nawiwili ako sa pagpapa-deliver, ayun, nag-share kame ni mama sa bayad.

umorder muna kame ng Super Supreme at may libreng Pepperroni kasi nga may Palm Card kame.

nung Saturday naman pagkasimba namin sa Sta. Lucia e nag-dinner muna kame sa Mang Inasal. eat all you kanin! Pecho ba naman ang orderin namin e talagang mapapakanin ka talaga dun. ayun, solb! tapos panoorin nyo pa yung mga TVC nila sa branch. Alamin ang secret ng Special Chicken Sauce sa website nila.

next day e dumating ang ate ko at saka anak nya. for merienda, e umorder ulit sila sa Pizza Hut pero Cheesy Pops naman ang inorder nila. again, Pepperoni Pizza ulit yung kasama kasi un ung Pizza of the Month nila.

kahapon naman dahil wala namang pang-lakwatsa, sa bahay lang ako. Pininyahang Manok (Ohmski style) ang niluto ko. ayun, wala pang 1hr, ubos na! hahaha...

sinusulat ko ito habang nagtatanghalian.

Blog Event of the Month: Beijing Olympics

i have the fever. but i have a different approach to the Beijing Olympics. i love the event and the mascots too. but since i cannot go to Beijing to take some pictures myself, i kept myself busy looking for good images and save them to my computer. while others are counting the medals, i sit in front of my PC and do what i love, photoshop. at least i have enhanced the wallpapers available on the internet. but somehow i still want to add more effects and those native accents from the available wallpapers in the internet. i just want to share what i've done.

We've been faked (daw)

If you watched the Opening Ceremony on Friday night, chances are you said something like, "no way that's possible" at least once. It turns out you were right.

London's Telegraph newspaper reports that some of the fireworks which appeared over Beijing during the television broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremony were actually computer generated. But -- hold on -- it's not necessarily as bad as you think.

The faked fireworks were actually set-off at the stadium, but because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter, viewers at home were shown a pre-recorded, computer-generated shot. It sounds dishonest, but I'm not sure it's such a terrible thing.

The Opening Ceremony is, at its core, just one big performance. And isn't it accepted that some things might not be legit at a performance? The final torch bearer wasn't actually running around the top of the stadium, does the fact that everyone could figure that out make it any less impressive? It might have been unnecessarily deceptive, but the firework-faking isn't really that big of a deal. But, if I found out that the lighted-drum thing wasn't on the up and up, then we'll have problems, China.

SOURCE

* kelangan bang BIG DEAL ito? e ano ngayon kung fake? tapos na, nagawa na. marami din ang namangha. 'tong mga writer na 'to kala mo kung sinong mang-okray. ni hindi naman nila naisip ang ganyang presentation. dahil ba galing din sila sa mayamang bansa e ganun na lang nila maliitin ang ginawa ng China? the country has done it's best to give them a wonderful show and yet there's still these people who give us positive energy! heck! burn them with your fireworks, China!

Kasinungalingan sa 8-8-8!



August 8 2008 simply defines 8-8-8 for most of us. Pero sabi ng mga Chinese e hindi naman talaga ngayon ang tunay na 8-8-8. Ang totoong 8-8-8 daw ay sa September 7, 2008 or 9-7-8.

Ngayon kasi ang universally accepted 8-8-8. Pero kung susundin ang Chinese calendar, sa September 7 pa nga magaganap ang 8-8-8. and today is probably one of the UNLUCKIEST days in the Chinese calendar kasi "Month of Souls" daw, which the gates of the spirit world are opened. kaya daw not advisable sa mga Chinese na mag-travel, hold medical operations, etc. dahil baka may masamang mangyari.

bakit ngayon ko lang pinaalam to sa inyo? KASI NGAYON KO LANG DIN ITO NALAMAN! diba kainis?! nag-green pa naman ako para magaan ang pasok ng pera. at napansin ko rin sa paligid na marami rin naka-green. Green-minded nga ba ang mga tao ngayon? hahahaha...

saka ang daming mangyayari ngayon. Olympics, dami ikakasal, may mga buntis na gusto atang iire agad ang mga bata basta ngayong araw na ito, etc.

well, let's just pray na walang masama talagang mangyari and we'll all enjoy the day!

orchestrated ang mga ubo



ayun, nagsimula lang ang ubo ko from a simple "samid." i tried to cure it temporarily with strepsils pero d sya gumaling. then a lot of water. nagtry din ako ng mga cough syrup. hirap talaga!

nagpa-checkup ako finally and sabi allergy lang daw ito saka nasa climate change din kasi kaya daw lumala. nag-take ako ng meds. gumanda naman pakiramdam ko in a week pero bumalik na naman sya.

ang malala pa, ngayon marami na may ubo sa office. orchestrated na nga sabi ko ang mga ubo namin. minsan duet, quartet, hanggang minsan sabay-sabay pa kame. haaay... kelan kaya ito gagaling?!

BUTO

  1. butong pakwan - Captain Sid, kaw ba yan?
  2. butong kalabasa - mas gusto ko to. mas malaki kasi saka mas madaling buksan
  3. sesame seeds - burger! burger! burger!
  4. sunflower seeds - mmm... yumyum!
  5. buto ng atis - sana wala nalang nito sa prutas. istorbo sa pagkain
  6. buto ng santol - muntik nako mabulunan dito. aksidente kasing malunok ko sya.
  7. buto ng mangga - sakin ang pisngi!
  8. buto ng okra - dami! parang itlog ng butiki.
  9. paminta - maraming nilalagay si papa sa adobo.

nga pala, i've been checking out also registered users from blogspot. kaya if you happen to see me in your bloglog, visit din kayo sakin. hehehe...

it is true that the only first 500 bloggers registered will only be carrying cases of Coke and their companions won't?

the Solitaire Master

i am so bored. all i'm doing at the the office is to wait for projects to come in to have them checked. the boredom is very contagious especially when internet is down. but now at least that it works, i can update my blog and check other posts too.

so what am i doing besides that?


doing more than 20 combinations in a day (that is kung sinipag-sipag pako.) in fact, i already had the shortcut in my start menu.
