On PacMan, Ricardo Cepeda and MMDA Traffic Aides

hay sobrang busy pero kelangan magblog pam-paalis ng pressure hehe... at kelangan sa Pilipino para ramdam ng todo ang emosyon :-)

Ok first, about kay Pacman: Maiksi nalng to since medyo gasgas na balita na to e. Isang MALAKING CONGRATS sayo mamen, iba ka talaga!! Mas gwapo ka na ngayon kay Morales hehe.... Kidding aside, you made Filipinos proud talaga.. Payo lang, retire ka while you are at your peak form, parang ginawa ni Jordan dati sa Bulls. Wag kna gumaya sa ibang boksingero na palaos na lumalaban pa din bukod sa kawawa kna, panget pa ng memories na iiwan mo sa tao. Ah syet asang mababasa mo to hehe...

Next, about Ricardo Cepeda: last night after namen maglaro ng Yuri's revenge ni Marco ay nagkayaan na kaming umuwi, so ayun pagbaba namen nampucha ang lakas pla ng ulan, e kagagaling ko lang sa sakit (dahil sakitin ako ubo ubo...) at si Marco ay may sakit din (dahil mas sakitin sya hehe..) so di kami lumusong(?) sa ulan. Pwede akong umakyat ulit sa unit para kunin ung payong kong kahit sira e nakakasalag pa naman ng ulan pero mas madami pa sa mga taong sasakay ng MRT ung nag-aantay ng elevator, sira NA NAMAN kasi ung isa dun. So ang nangyari, nag dinner na muna kami sa foodcourt ng Bur***dy baka sakaling tumila na ung ulan pagtapos namen kumain. So un (asan na si Ricardo Cepeda?) lamon, kwento-kwento, tawanan, nood ng TV. Tapos, sa may canteen na di naman kasarapan ang tinda kaya di kami naorder dun e yun nga nakita namen si Ricardo Cepeda. Pagkaorder niya, umupo siya sa may harap namen, nung umpisa di naman sya napapansin ng mga tao (baka di na sikat ganun) pero nung may nakakakilala na haha nakakatawa ung iba pasimple pa tumingin e lalo na ung mga waitress... Nakakailang nga e kasi titingin muna kay Ricardo tapos mapapatingin saken ganun.. :-) So yun, after a while nagdecide na din kaming umalis kasi mamaya Wow Mali un e, e pucha asa likuran nya lang kami yoko ata mapaTV ng time na un panget ng suot ko hehe...

Last but definitely not the least, MMDA traffic aides: Syempre tumila na nga ung ulan, so umuwi na kami. I took the Ayala route not the usual na dinadaan ko kasi alam ko bahain dun e. So ayun, hirap sumakay ng bus pero nakasakay din. Habang binabaybay ng bus ang malulupit na pink fences sa may Ayala-SM e may kumatok na MMDA TRAFFIC AID. Ano pa, e di syempre nangongotong.. Tang*n* talaga! Nagbigay naman ung konduktor, as I've heard 40 Php binigay niya. After several meters plang nakakalagpas, meron na namang nakatok na MMDA TRAFFIC AID. Nampucha talaga!! Sabi ng driver dun sa MMDA TRAFFIC AID na kabibigay lang dun sa isang kasama niya. Di pumayag, tapos nagalit pa, hiningi ung lisensya nung driver. So to the rescue naman ung kundoktor sa kanya, kinausap ung MMDA TRAFFIC AID. So un, nagkaayos, bumiyahe na ulit kame. Habang naniningil ung konduktor na pasahe, ayun narinig ko kung magkano nya naayos ung paksyet na MMDA TRAFFIC AID na un. Php100 pesos! Langya talaga ginagawa nilang gatasan ung mga bus driver/conductor. Tsaka pucha ang kakapal ng mukha nila, kahit may nakakakita sa kanilang mga tao tuloy pa rin sila sa pangongotong. May balak yatang magsilabas sa TV tong mga to e. Sarap pikturan (lowbat ako kainis) at ipadala sa Tulfo brothers para maaksyonan hehe.. Kaya siguro mainit si Mayor Binay sa MMDA e gawa ng mga gaya nito e.

Message ko dun sa dalawang MMDA TRAFFIC AIDS tsaka sa mga katulad nila:
GOD BLESS YOU, SANA WALANG MANGYARING MASAMA SA ANAK NYONG BABAE.

Cia0... :-)

update update update

I find this conversation interesting in the movie "Guess Who?".

(Percy = Bernie Mac, Simon=Ashton Kutcher)

Percy: If you're gonna marry one of these women, sometimes it's gonna hurt like hell. And all you can do is admit that you're wrong and know that she's always right.
Simon: She's right?
Percy: That's right.
Simon: Always?
Percy: Right.
Simon: Right.
Percy: That's right.
Simon: All right okay, what about all that talk about my dignity?
Percy: Do you love her? Do you want her? Then she's always right.

::They really control us... :-)

I received this IM message from my friend from Jakarta, and it was mind boggling.

Herlambang (1/18/2006 5:09:22 PM): is there allright in manila....i heard that 4 general has esaped from prison....

So what I did is I checked the local news website to find out if it is true, and it wasn't. I informed him about it, and he said:

Herlambang (1/18/2006 5:11:07 PM): so the media here just make a boombastic headline i think.

See, we are so popular overseas..

Ngayon ko lang na-prove kung gaano katibay and IBM R-31 series na laptop. Kung baket, di ko na i-elaborate hehe nakakapanghina ikwento e basta because of that nagbackup tuloy ako ng todo at nagtrabaho/nagprogram maghapon.. Baka reminder ni lord na marami akong dapat gawin at bawas-bawasan at petiks :-)

I was tagged by Wendy, kasi daw mabait ako (hala nag-imbento na hehe..)

Here's how:

Just list top-5 of your Weird Habits
Pass to 5 friends
Leave a comment or tag on 5 friends informing that you tagged them.

Ok start. First weird habit: Nagdadasal bago matulog at bago kumain.. Ewan naging habit ko na to e. Di kapani-paniwala no? Kaya nga weird e pati ako nawe-weirdohan minsan hehe.

Second weird habit: preferred matulog ng nakadapa habang yakap2x ang unan.. Ewan, nadevelop ko na to kasi sabi ng mga nakakatabi ko malakas daw ako mag-snore e.. Cgro naman with this style di na ko makakasnore hehe..

3rd weird habit: Matagal ako sa banyo sa umaga. Kakaiba kasi kadalasan pag lalake mabilis lang dapat db? The reason is, nagdadala ako ng babasahin habang nagba-"bank" kaya cgro ko napapatagal at banas na banas na ung susunod saken.

4th: I drink water during inuman sessions.. Kasi nabasa ko na nade-dehydrate tayo pag nainom ng alcohol, and yun yung cause ng hangover the next day. So dapat inom ng madaming tubig. Proven na to, promise.

5th: Certified coffeeholic ako..


Five to tag: syempre sino pa ba, Benjo, Marhgil, Ninski, Noreen, at si Ka Uro (hehe anu-ano kaya ang kaweirdohang ginagawa nya?)


Ciao!

Again, random thoughts

im not feeling well today. i'm still coughing and now I got colds. damn the weather. Hope I'll feel well soon. Check out this link, its hilarious. :-)

I became concerned about Imelda Papin's health right after I've watched the news about her on a popular news show, TV patrol. Is she ok now? I hope she is, and please Ma'am, take care huh.. I don't wanna hear another news like that, it sucks. It's not that I'm taking it against her, but I found this news useless and too shallow. So what if she slipped on her bathroom? did she died? she didn't even got any major injury i guess. So please stop featuring this kind of stuff, they're not worth watching. You got more important issues to tackle, inform the people about it. Ever heard of such news, "Aktres, maitim ang kuyukot", "Jennylin and Mark break na" and others. Whoa, will my world stop because of this matters? :-)

Are you hooked-up with "Jewel in the palace" fever? Well, I do. Over the weekend, I watched the last two DVD's of it, i think that's more or less 20 episodes. The ending? It's a happy one. :-)

Ciao!

Post #100

Just got this itch to update my blog because my mind ceased functioning even though I still got lots to do :-) So anyways, today is friday, So I expect we will have another round(s) of SML before goung home lolz.. I have skipped my gym workouts for a week because I'm having a hard time treating my cough. If next week it still persists, I will consult a doctor about it. Hopefully nothing serious, its just because of the weather :-)

I made a boo-boo which I think if I had done on another company I'll be fired right away hehe...
I received a call from my previous PM's company, and thank Smart I can't understand what she is saying. So I told her that I will make a return call, but I forget her name so I have to ask my former PM about it. BUt, I've used our support email account which is activated by most of the engineers in here even our boss in SF. So the bottom line is, my current PM discovered about it and asked me to explain. I just took the issue lightly and told her that I just did that because I don't know how to reject my former boss but definitely I don't have any intention to seriously consider that job. I think she believed me, and hopefully she did :-)

Question: If someone told you that you are a "sweet talker" (in tagalog, 'bolero'.. a way to make it worth appealing to masses just like "sweet potato"(kamote) ) aren't you get offended even though you are actually telling the truth? Nah, maybe I am one, but who cares, That's the way I express myself. I just want to tell you this.. Everything I've said, I mean it, if you don't believe it then its your call. I'm just saying what my heart tell me.

Ciao!!

Why do people say, "you've been working like a dog" when dogs just sit around all day?

Happy New Year! Hope another year cheers and happiness is ahead of us. Year 2005 was good for me, I think I matured fair enough, personally and career wise. Hopefully this year will be better because according to the chinese zodiac its my year, year of the dog!! So what's with people born under this sign?

People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people's confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth; yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit.

You are honest and faithful.
You can worry too much.
You will make an excellent business person, teacher or secret agent.

Somewhat selfish, stubborn and eccentric. Hehehe.. I think we have to be like that sometimes. As Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers said, "controlled violence is good. All of us have it."

Update later. Got some programming job to do :-)
