I know I love reading stories. Hell, that’s why I read a lot of manga. Of course with the absence of images, I thought I would not be too fond of reading novels. I have read a few before when I was in high school, and even in college, but I’ve never really considered it as a cure to loneliness.
Those were my mom’s words to me earlier this morning when she found me curled on my bed, reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I just could not put the book down. It was worthy of all the praises it was getting. Worthy of all the hype. I would gladly include a brief summary here but I bet this site has already done a better job at that. I just have one more problem left. This slight pain in my right eye that is probably caused by too much reading. I only had 3 hours of sleep the other day and 4 and a half last night. This is not good. Now, can anyone tell me what the cure is for lack of self-discipline? Filed under: Book Geek and What Makes Me Happy Comments: None |

Miura Haruma from Gokusen 3. The last episode I watched is episode 2. I’ll continue the recaps as soon as I finish everything that needs sorting in my PC. I still have Binbo Danshi to watch! <__< He's there too! Argh! He's such a versatile actor! His role there is the complete opposite of his role in Gokusen 3. Watch Definitely, Maybe too. It's not an Asian drama. It's an American movie. The kid there is so cute and the story is really sweet.

Problem: I logged in this morning and was surprised to see every single image online is at low quality. When I say low quality, it means loooooow, as in pixel-y, blurry, smudgy images. I thought it was my graphics card at first but it wasn’t. Could it be my firefox browser? No. It’s the same with IE as well. Hmmm… what could it be. I googled my problem and landed on a forum and one user commented that it could be the ISP’s doing.
So then I plugged in my slower SmartBro connection, cleared the cache and then refreshed. Voila! Instant image makeover. Evidence: (Please focus your attention to the header image of my iGoogle homepage.) iGoogle screenshot using Globe Broadband connection

Just to be sure, I plugged in my globe broadband connection a couple more times, cleared both browser cache, refreshed on both browsers and still … same fugly effect. Conclusion: I sincerely hope that this isn’t a forever thing and it isn’t going to last longer than the end of today. If not then I’d have to call their customer service hotline tomorrow and the lucky agent would have to listen to me BF (Bitch Fit) about their sorry attempt to fool their customers. Image quality is SRS BUSINESS! Filed under: I Hate Comments: 12 Comments |

Tonight I binged. My mom made Turon with Togue as filling. I hated it before when I was younger but now I started liking it. Sinawsaw ko pa nga sa suka. Ang sarap! I ate too much. Now I’m bloated and I feel like throwing up. When I went to the toilet I recalled last night’s GMA7 Documentary “Kalam”. How can I throw up the excess food I ate when there are families who can’t even afford to eat 3 times a day. Some of them are too poor to even buy rice. The spoiled rice they have is still food for them just as long as it doesn’t poison them. Tatandaan ko na lang to whenever I try to binge. So now as punishment, I’ll workout before I sleep for 2 hours. Filed under: In Which I Realize Comments: None |

If you do not have any idea who Fred is yet, then you’re in luck! I’m just about to give you half of your life back. Ok I’m obviously exaggerating. A bit. Because Fred is just super awesome-cute-funny-adorable. I have just made YouTube my number one source of entertainment, yes, even more than my own TV at home. The channels I am subscribed to are mostly composed of viral webisodes and I believe all are in the comedic genre. Ok, now back to Fred. I discovered Fred through Blade376’s video parody of Fred. And after watching one of Fred’s videos, I just got hooked! But it isn’t just the voice! It’s the whole whacky story behind Fred and his mom. Oh and ofcourse Judy, Judy’s boyfriend Kevin, and that Cat with rabies that bit Kevin. If you have the time, and it won’t take long, believe me. Then go watch the rest of Fred’s videos on youtube Please recommend your favorite channels on youtube so I can check if I have it on my subscription list =) Filed under: Online Entertainment Comments: None |

I’m bored. I took some pics in our house.
My desk is always messy lately. It happens when you’re too busy to be bothered by a messy desk.
I drink coffee after lunch and green tea for merienda.
The 19″ LCD monitor that I bought last year. I’m planning on buying the 21″ before the year ends. But that’s if I get more projects before the year ends. I have to save for our car fund next year as well. And I go bye bye salary once again.
My father gave me lots of stuff on his latest vacation. A new phone, which I always never ask for. I have not much use for a cellphone since I started working homebased. He also bought me a Canon Ixus 860IS, which I asked for and I love it so much. Some other usual stuff he brings me when he comes home and this laptop. A fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 2428 which is super awesome besides it having a short battery life. But it’s a great laptop for designers…and *cough*gamers*cough*.
Our lunch or what’s left of it. Ginataang Kalabasa. It’s supposed to be ginataang gulay because there’s supposed to be a lot more veggies in it, but we only had kalabasa in the fridge so we had to make do. It’s very yummy still or it must be my love for anything ginataan talking.
Our new helper that we got from my mom’s province. A very meek 32 year old mommy who is very hardworking. We’ll see if it’s only because she’s still new. My mom’s planning on opening a mami house beside our sari-sari store, that’s why we got another helper for that. If not then only one helper will do. Our house isn’t huge anyway!

Lies.
Noticed this while watching davedays’ latest video at youtube. How appropriate. Filed under: Random Finds Comments: None |

Location: My parents’ house Earlier today, my inner rebel tried to take over once again. I played Cabal Online for 2 hours until I started smelling something weird. No it’s not me, unless I somehow emit a burnt wire smell. Worried that it’s my laptop overheating, I started sniffing around my room, like a dog, and found out that it was our scooter in the garage and not anything else. Later on, had a talk with my parents in the terrace about our recent trip to my mom’s province and how my dad plans to go there next year via land trip, that’s if we ever get to buy a van next year. Mom and I thought he’s crazy to think that he could actually reach Leyte by himself. And even if we’re with him, it’d just increase the amount of people lost in the mountains in-between Manila and Leyte. Maybe the 32-hour trip via bus would take us a week, wasting time looking for the right way and asking people around. So, we’ve come to the conclusion that we need to hire an experienced driver that know his way from Manila to our town in Leyte. Feeling dejected for losing the argument, my dad walks to his new baby (the scooter) and started it without checking if it’s in neutral first. Which ended up with it hitting the cases of softdrinks in stock and almost, our dog Yuki. Nothing broke though, except for the scooter who got a bit of dent and the left side mirror bending in the opposite direction. Which further depressed my dad. Surprisingly, my mom felt sorry for him as well, knowing that the new scooter is his new toy. He somehow fixed it anyway. So I bet he’s happy already. Anyhow, I haven’t done anything productive until this afternoon, when I FINALLY sat in front of my desktop PC and finally did some work for my boss Joe. And now I’m writing this journal in-between, which means I found a way to procrastinate once again. yay. Real life self progress status: Stagnant. Except in-game where I levelled up my Cabal Online character 2 times and finished a few pending quests. If we only have some real-life monsters to kill then leveling up would be easy.

The guy in my dreams finally has a name! His name is Sean! I’m pretty sure that was his name as it is written clearly on top of his head like the characters in online role-playing games. >=) Filed under: Uncategorized Comments: 2 Comments |
