The Routine

7am-8am: Wake up a bit, tingin sa relo kung maaga pa. At kung masipag, I wake up early than those times. Kung kaya na, ahon na at pray... Pray for whatever going to happen in the day..

8:30am: bihis, check kung ano kailangan ng shop tapos labas na papuntang suki.

9am: After galing ng suki, baka ako na din pumunta sa welcome, check some things and baka pumunta din ng quiapo for cards or others. hehe At that time, I was thinking, may magagawa pa ba ko later? Or move those tasks again..

11am: Siyempre after some briefing sa welcome, and finish some tasks, uwi na agad, para makahabol, at sana magawa ko yun mga kailangan gawin for the day.

11:30am: Got home tired, then load yun mga nagpapaload sa kin since around always before 7am, which of course, tulog pa ko. Ang matindi yun iba now na!!! Kala naman nila 24 hours ako gising. hehe Peste talaga.. Thinking who will be collected and which building first, pero malamang insular muna..

12pm: If there is something to eat, I'll eat, if none, or before I go home, kain na ko sa labas. Malamang this time, dapat tapos na mga gusto ko at kailangan gawin, kundi ayun bukas na lang.

12:45pm-1pm: Dapat nakaalis na ko bahay, para iwas traffic sa Espa�a or ayun katamaran. hehe Saka pupunta pa ko LRT para mabilis papuntang Buendia. At para makapunta na din sa mga buildings.. Geez..

before 2pm onwards: Dapat nasa Insular na ko, collect the payments from well, nagpaload o yun iba sa sweldo at yun iba magtatanong ng cellphone. Which later bibili, yun iba, la lang. hehe

Magpapateepee na din baka minsan kasi pang log in ko na lang sa MJ para sa RAM work.

Kung buenas, dadaan pa ko RCBC to collect at kung talagang buenas ako, punta pa ko 19th floor for some payments. At kung talagang buenas ako, ayun it does happen. I need to do it every day. Whew.. What an excercise routine. Tiring indeed.. Parang ako bumbay nga, pero kailangan eh.

3pm: Start of RAM work, sometimes it has delay kung ano batch 1 pero usually after 30 mins of prep time and something, yun na, work, work and work.. With atmospheric sounds at my background. =)

5PM: Sometimes, lampas ng kaunti pero malamang 1st break na, medyo kailangan ng laman ng tiyan lalo kung marami pang gagawin. hehe At wala pang batch 2, so kailangan bago dumating yun, sobrang bawas na ang batch 1.

7pm: Text sa tindahan, check kong ano na, ano ne.. Kung may kita ba for today, or bawi na lang tomorrow. hehe At lunch naman sa RAM. Malamang tinatsantsa ko na yun work ko after lunch lalo kung maraming batch 2. Or worse, batch 3! hehe Looking forward kung may pahinga later.

8pm: Or sometimes, before that, tapos na ng lunch, sarado na ang tindahan kahit yun iba nagtetext pa din.. At ayun, relo work na agad para humabol before 10pm, kasi nagloloko yun system pag 10pm na dito. Nagrereset due to Aussie time, 12am.

10pm: Possibly, tapos na lahat, at kung hindi, siguro mabibilang sa kamay na lang yun mga gagawin ko. hehe At pagnatapos, petiks na!

12am: Mahabang petiks, thinking some things for the next day, ah medyo lutang na utak ko at higit sa lahat.. Want to sleep na.. Pero mangungulit pa din to some people. And yes, you won't believe, may nagpapaload pa mga tao.. Great..

12:30-1:00am: Home sweet home, lying at my bed, if I'm not sleepy, pray and sleep.. Check sa net at minsan, download pa. hehe

What a day I have, tried to change kaso well, I can't. this is what I do everyday, except sa off at VL. hehe

I tried to squeeze in some stuff pero mukhang hindi pa eh. Lalo na sa collecting stuff. I can't assign somebody to do collection for me, mahirap na. No friends when in terms of money. Baka magkasalisi pa. hehe

I am thinking, can I do this for years? Well, I hope, siguro.. Not everyday na lang.

That will be a good routine!

di planado 27

Ngayon oras na to, medyo nagmamadali na ko kasi papasok na ko sa trabaho at ako'y pupunta pa sa Insular Building para sa baon ko. hehe

At di ko pa natitikman yun lumpia.. Ok lang malugi ako sa pangalawang laban, may pagasa naman pumasok sa Huling Apat na eskwela sa UAAP. =)

Salamat at naabot ko yun tinakda ko para sa buwan na to, huling hirit bago mag Sept, nakalimutan ko yun buong spelling sa tagalog. hehe

Pero nakakalungkot lang nitong Agosto kasi may mga nangyaring di ko inaasahan at sa ibang tao din. Pero di naman grabe kagaya nung Enero. Sa susunod na buwan sana maging maayos ang lahat, may pagasa at saya. Medyo kakapressure lang kasi siyempre may mga hinahabol ako sa trabaho at sa shop. Sana maging maayos ang lahat.

Kagaya ng sinulat ko dati, sa medyo nababawasan na din yun mga ginagawa ko, di nga lang dun sa kolekta. hehe Pero yun ibang bagay, medyo natapos ko na. At sa buwan na to, mukhang makakapaghinga na ko ng matino at sana, medyo mahaba at walang istorbo. May iba nga lang, ganun talaga. hehe

Ah, oo nga pala, dapat magtula na ko dito kaso, kulang na talaga sa oras.. Pangako ko, sa susunod na buwan, may tula ulit, pampalipas oras lang at para makita ko kung talanga may talent pa ko sa Tula. =)

Dapatwa't sa aking maliit na oras, sana'y sa darating na buwan.. Ayun maraming oras para sa kin sarili, mga gusto gawin at sana pumasok ang UST! Kahit talo na sila sa laban pang kampeonato. hehe

At sana lang, matapos lang ang mga ulan ha.. Grabe, di pa ko nakalaba ng sapatos. At may lisensya na ko! Kaso di pa din ako marunong magmaneho. Grabe... Wala naman ako kotse.

O siya, tama na to, may isang oras at labing limang minuto pa ko bago magtrabaho.

Sa wakas, umabot ako!! Oo nga pala, sa CRAP, salamat nung linggo kahit sobrang wasak na ko at lahat, masaya na ko. Yun nga lang, medyo mababawas na ko, di niyo muna makikita ang rekord pansamantala.

Iiwas muna ako sa pesteng at magaling na Chic-boy. hehe

Agosto ay buwan ng ating magaling na wika.

realizations (part 23)

371. Damn, there is a better massage, yun nga lang kahit mura, wala naman pera. hehe

372. Since I love cold weather, I am fond of eating cold foods, great example, ice cream!

373. Wow, I am going to love RAM, for a long time! hehe

374. In business, sometimes, it's not only pure skill or strategy, or mindset, it also involves blessings from him.. And sheer luck.

375. I became sad na hindi na matutuloy ang plan at the end of the year, due to some important things. Or some circumstances, I can just make up for that next year. =)

379. I just don't know with DLSU. =)

380. I am, honestly, poor in doing art. Siguro writing, but drawing, handycrafts, anything to do, even handwriting. Talagang may pinagmanahan since HS, bagsak! At di ko na gagawan malamang ng paraan. hehe

381. I am already 28, that fast. Geez. Yikes...

382. That singles talk, as pagtagal, parang tama lahat ha! Nagawa ko lahat, kaso yun lang, may alat ata ako. Saka may mali. hehe Dapat may deadline pala! Damn stupid.

Finishing the Losing Events

Everything has an end, but for other things, it is a cycle. hehe

After sleepless night and pigang piga sa kakaisip, yes, natapos naman.

Sa sims, mukhang walang choice to get a new smart sim, which unfortunately expensive.. Kaya pagiipunan ko pa yun, at sayang naman yun mga customer ko din na mukhang dadami pa! Anak ng tinapa. hehe Good timing talaga yun pagkawala ng mga sim.. Siguro pag gamit ko ng bagong globe sim, yun na.. Kailangan ko na ibalik yun smart. Sun, mayrun na, same result, mahina sa sun. hehe

The reason why I can't just replace the sim right away kasi ayun, may mga nagpadelay at may gusto pa! Patay na. hehe Ikot na naman hanggang next payday.. Pero may nangyaring kakabad trip.. Nabawasan ang sweldo ko at good timing then, kailangan ko talaga.. =(

Equals now, yeah, I hope benta lahat sa shop. hehe Naipit at ayun, survival mode. Thank God, I'm still blessed na nakakaraos pa din everyday, yun nga lang, no extra. Bawi na lang sometime.. =)

About the project, natapos ko siya, kaso without some photoshop skills and relying so much to the MS publisher, di polished ang gawa ko, sobrang parang Powerpoint/paint style lang. Basic lang. hehe Ano pa ba magagawa ko, I did my best, kaysa gumastos pa sa pagawa sa iba..

I submitted it at nagustuhan naman niya.. Kaso baka magbago isip na eh or di matuloy. First I felt, drained, siyempre ang effort di ba, time and some factors or sana iba ginawa ko, pero ok lang, ano ba magagawa ko di ba? =) Second, natuwa ako kasi kahit ganun lang, parang tuwang tuwa siya na ginawa ko yun agad despite in my situation and problems na din, may time pa ko to do that. I need to, it's for the business naman.

But it not always in your side. Kahit binigay mo lahat and every effort you can share, it's not always you'll get it.. Sometimes, it won't go to your favor. =( Sad but in business, that really happens, its true.

These events, I know first time ko lang nashare to in a short form but this how it happens to me, mabuti not all the time, pero sometime na kahit nawalan na ko at kahit gusto ko muna to stop and think, rest or plan.. Ang ginagawa ko, move on, do it and well, finish it. Nandyan na yan, kalimutan na lang o kung pwede, ayusin na lang. Kaysa naman magmukmok at umiyak, or ask for help. hehe

Like one of the talks of Bro. Bo, after expanding the opportunites, move mountains, finish strong! Indeed, turn negative to positive.. For those events, kahit nega talaga, naging positive naman ako na makakayanan ko tapusin ang kailangan tapusin.. At higit sa lahat, yun nasa taas, hindi hindi ka niya pababayaan.. =) Sabi nga daw, and I heard it before talaga, di ka daw niya bibigyan ng pasubok na di mo kaya..

Sa kin lang, sabi ko, ayaw ko na... Tama na!

But well, good news is, due to faith, hope and the greatest thing is love..

I'm here, sharing this...

I'm here, finishing these whatever bad..

I'm here, to enjoy life, good things within it..

I'm here, to forget other events or simply moving on..

I'm here, not to lose.. Any further..

Kailangan naman manalo paminsan-minsan. hehe

Even di pa tapos ang lahat, importante every week, nababawasan sila at, ayun.. Nakakayanan ko pa. =)

Besides, all things will end. Like stress, natapos ang mga stress ng weekend..

Nakahinga na kahit papano.. Kahit sandali.



Working within the Losing Events

Siyempre, di ka naman pwede tumanganga na lang sa mga nakikita mo o nafeel mo about those events. It's pathetic that let them flow and react what will happen next.

What I working with is, ayun make some solutions and do the jobs, and yeah, plan for the future.

Di madali ang mga yun, lalo na yun pesteng Globe na naisip ko, wala na ko choice kundi kunin ang free sim then have all the free text ubusin at malamang yun ang magiging bago ko globe number na naman in the future. I'm preparing myself to that crap. hehe Tanggap ko na..

Collections, well, ayun, since may mga talagang di nagbayad sa kin, pero mabuti maliit at manageable pero in the future it might help. hehe

Hay, even threats won't help but I'll change a bit, but I hope, like I explained before, they understand. Di naman ako charity or corporation di ba? Naman.. =)

But yeah, one of the solutions and which is very tiring is, yes, aggressive collections, especially, in paydays!

As much possible, wag lahat payday, dahil may days, kakastress, the cash, medyo delay. Medyo nakakaaffect sa ibang aspect ng biz but, well, that's biz.. Need to manage those yeah, things..

About yun huli, ayun.. Damn, I should really study not only SAP but photoshop na nga, nagdownload na ko, tinamad na ko, kasi sa computer kong bago. hehe

Whew, it's hard to think what to put, like ano words malagay, o signs, symbols, letter style, font, lalo na yun kulay. Alam niyo naman, di ako magaling gumawa ng art. I appreciate art but not doing it, please. hehe

Well, that's what I learned in business, one of the things, na talagang marami ako natutunan. Pag di alam, alamin mo magisa and try it! hehe Ayun, medyo natagalan ako sa ibang request at medyo nachallenge ako sa ibang design ko, para naman mayrun. hehe At last, patapos na at ayun, iprint na lang, sana magustuhan.. =) Thank you will be enough, saka expense din noh, mahal pa print. hehe

All things has an end, and great thing, yeah, after some adversities and trials at kapalpakan.. Medyo..

Aahon na.. Yehey!!!!

After some short hours of sleep, and some markdowns na din sa QA, at bloody sweat na din...

Series of Losing Events

Well, great part of the year that I lost some things.

Di ko alam, maybe it's clumsiness or stupidity, or simply got tired on those past days.

Yes, nawala ko yun phone which now, ang pinaka important pala na sim eh yun smart, since sobrang mahal ang bentahan ngayon na pesteng sim na yun. Grabe, pagiipunan ko na lang. Hay..

Ah, nadisable yun autoload max ko sa current number, meaning I need to get another retailer sim na pang load. How inconvenient it is.. Damn..

Ah it doesn't stop there. Mabuti ok naman yun shop, but the collections, well, of course not perfect pero siyempre yun may mga missed payments, ok lang kung maliit eh, pero ayun. Malaki din, need to wait some time.. Geez.

Some stuff need to finish then for the shop, kahit wala akong talent for designing stuff, but I'll do my best, I losing time to rest and some other works, but let's see if I'll make it. Indeed, may effort eto.

Is it stressful at those days?

Let's see..

Not Showing: Che Part 1

"Homeland or Death!"

Patria o Muerte.. If I'm right for what I heard in spanish..

Actually it should be a different movie that I should watch but when I'm start scanning this movie, I started watching it and finished it!

I never heard that this movie was shown here, but anyway, I anticipated this way back because I was surprised that Benicio Del Toro started as the iconic guerilla hero, Che Guevarra...

The movie was directed by Steven Soderbergh which I remember, this is the first film I watched made by him. He is indeed a good director.

This film of course, not only Benicio Del Toro's performance but the feel of the movie. It's Cuba, the 1960's which they are threats of wars everywhere, but in this small country, there is a revolution going on to topple a regime which is not helping Cuba at that time.

It shows how they live at those times, how poor they are and how the revolution really started and worked. It's funny because it only started around 80 men, then at the original pack, only 10 men left who saw how successful the guerilla was. Even Che was surprised as well. But very sad when not all his original comrades got alive.

The settings are great, even the costumes are not that detailed but the setting of it and how it was presented, it was good. But not detailed and fantastic.

Music, very spanish, but I liked it since it is in latin america and very solemn as well, for the film. Just right for the film..

Editing and pacing is great! Even it's 2 hours, it's like you want more as the story goes by and how Che will move on in the story. Cuts on how they recruited, fight until the finish and Che works as well, very compassionate and wants to serve the people as much as he can.

Even I have some requests or looking for more details like how they get more funding, or how harsh was Batista leading Cuba and how US is a threat governing Cuba, it's not there as much I want. They say it but not showing it and they tell it in snippets so at the back of your head, how was really it at those times in Cuba.

There are two things I like in this film. Rarely a film which so much dialogue than action and thriller since this is a sort of war film or guerilla film, it never got me bored. I was excited everytime about the dialogue, great thing there is subtitles.. But how they speak and relay that to the viewer, real and somewhat, accurate.. Especially Che's speeches which are very detailed and fantastically done by Benicio.. When I researched in you tube on how Che speaks, Benicio really almost got the mannerisms or you know the accent of Che. Very well done, and most of the characters as well, like Fidel Castro, or the wacky yet brave commanders of Che. Excellent parts, it's just great.

Lastly, the actors, and yes, I was surprised, Benicio just won Cannes for this, but other than that, no noms for golden globe or Oscars. I forgot who was the best actor in 2008, but it says Daniel Day Lewis for There will be blood. Hmmmmm, but anyway, Benicio should at least be nominated. Then all actors done their parts, like Catalina Moreno, the xerxes dude Rodrigo Santoro, he is Xerxes? Julia Ormond, great part for her.. The Fidel Castro actor, which I really like even of course as we know, he is also iconic, but the film shows even he is the real leader, he was shown as a supporting role for this movie. Great casting and plan for that one. I loved how they speak spanish! Bravo!!!!

Bonus one, hmmmmm that's why Cuba today even they doesn't look rich but well, they have great amatuer boxers or in the arts as well, and free hospital, and medicines! Che is the pioneer that even in socialism, it should be equal for all to get free education, learn to fight and mostly of all, help all those in need. That's why for now, they are sleeping superpower because they just keep and not harm other countries unless they are provoke. Like what China is doing, or even Russia which was former soviet superpower. They just stand still. Maybe that what communist for, not used for corruption or power over the people, but help all the people and be equal. Unfortunately, not all of the countries have that thinking of communism, some just wants to see the world burn and using this as a perfect tool for it.

I was surprised, Che is from Argentina, and a bit crazy because he wants to liberate the whole Latin America from US intervention and ideals of imperialism..

Let's see if that works in Part 2!

I almost watched it but well, it's already 2am. =)

Lockout: An Ultimate All-Star Weekend Experience!

"If there is no lockout, is this possible?" I quipped..

He said.. "No."

Long title. Whew.. But it was a great experience!!!!!!!!!

After going for a wake of my team mate, my sister informed me that there is an extra ticket but it's standing room only for the event. I said yes, I'll come with my brother in law for this once in a lifetime event.

I rushed to the Araneta Coliseum, but oh boy.. Damn traffic there and the lines, I can't believe it! It encircles the whole coliseum.. Geez, it is an once in a lifetime event! hehe

But I waited of course from Kuya Dong for the tickets and geez, a lot of personalities there, showbiz, other basketball players and some politicians as well.. All star studded perhaps, even the crowd from the UAAP games happened there before, stayed in the long lines. =)

People got kinda impatient because it's already 6pm and seems they coliseum still won't let the crowd come in. It was hard waiting especially for us because we don't know where we can get in.

As there was a signal already to come in, we just took a route from the media's booth side and kinda took a shortcut through the queue.. Like a crossover in a basketball game! Clever! hehe

We went in and yes, people pile up through the floor, or seat already if they have a seat, so we were waiting for the show to start.. Then, the basketball craziness starts!!!!!!!!!!

The NBA players start coming in, although not the superstars, but you have James Harden, the beard!!!!!!!! Derrick Williams, which I thought it's Deron Williams. hehe But it's the 2nd overall pick dude who will be playing with Ricky Rubio at Minnesota if that happens, hmmmmm JaVale McGee which is so big. Damn! Tyreke Evans, wow, I can't believe I'll see the great dude, who is the only good player at Sacramento Kings. I am fan of his since his Memphis days at NCAA.

Then, yes, they show some drills, JaVale has some dunks! Then of course, we waited for other stars to come out. Well, there were stars, but it's the PBA all stars. Geez, I already thought this before this event, they will be blown out around 20 points or more. Anyway, as they going for warm ups, wow, the rest of the NBA stars went out!

NBA MVP, Derrick Rose! CP3 Chris Paul! Durantula, my man Kevin Durant! Well, no Kobe yet but Al's idol, tandang Fisher came out. Yikes. hehehe Well, everybody is looking for Kobe, for me.. It was worth it already seeing KD and Rose! Plus CP3 in person.. Geez, let's go home!!! hahaha

I thought KD is thin but in person, damn he's legs are wide and arms, damn.. That's why nobody wants to guard that dude! hehe He's practicing the one legged fade away shot by Dirk, which subsequently used to defeat them in the West Finals. =) Actually he is not making any shot using that move. hehe

All the people in the coliseum went nuts and still waiting for Kobe.. After some 30 mins, the show started and yes, announcer gave a warm welcome to the NBA Stars first, then the surprise is, Kobe is the player coach of the team! Yeah boy!!!!!!!!!!! =)

Yeah, the PBA Stars where introduced and still star strucked with the NBA stars, getting autographs, photos, and meet and greet. I think they don't want to be playing anymore. hehe

For me, the rush I had there was amazing, I can't believe that as I posted before, I wish I can just see them in TV at that day, but for this one.. Damn, I watched it live! I don't care standing up for a day. hehe

Well, the game started and damn, those highlights are great! Alley oops from Kobe to D Rose, The beard showing his stuff. JaVale is dunking everybody which he rarely does in the Wizards. hehe But very athletic dude, he can run all day with that size. Defense as well.. Fish making some decent shots.. Tyreke, crossovering everybody in the PBA, having ankle breaked them! Derrick Williams, has potential, I hope he can use that in MIN. =)

Chris Paul, jeez, how he defends and how you will defend him, damn hard. No cure, just let him shoot a jump shot. hehe

My favorite of all, is KD!!!!!!!!!

I pity Rabeh, he tried but failed.. Twice.. Geez, fade away jumpshot by KD at the middle with time running out. And the hardest of all, fading away from the deepest corner for a 3! That was sweet, that was special. Damn, still they did not win against the Mavs. =( But anyhow, that time, I can say we can go home!!! hehe

It's damn worth it.. Wow, that doesn't include the dunks that KD did and alley oops as well. The crossovers and hussles, he do have post up moves.. Geez, that is 6'10". I hope they included Dirk! hehe

After the final score, which if 131-106 I suppose, everyone was happy! From MVP, even ERAP is there and to all who watched, it was memorable. =) I love it!

Except for some not so good factors. I was laughing when Mo got booed. Patricia can do some better hosting job.. And the last bad one I really, well, a feedback. Please, the hot dancers, should do some practice. But great thing, they are hot! hehe

Other than that, best things are indeed free. =) Yeah!!

Ate at chicboy and went home safely, thanks Kuya Dong!!

Thanks to MVP! I hope your birthday is always like this. How about your 70th or 75th birthday?

I'm your lost son! hahahaha

Yeah, it's was traffic when we went home. It took us an hour, yes, an hour to go home!

Well, for the NBA, they really need to have a common goal to still continue the season. I mean, they have lesser problems than what NFL experienced in their own lockout.

I know some teams are losing but most teams are well, very well off.. I don't know the numbers why NBA is claiming losing or dropping profit but I hope they will resolve and take care of it. I do understand what the players are fighting for but let's face, economies not only in US but all around the world is quite crumbling, and prices are astronomical getting high as time goes by.. They just need to adjust with the factors setting in. The owners and players should give way or compromise to each other. Besides, they owe the success of the league even not that big monetary wise, but to us, the FANS! Fans who just love watching basketball! They should think now about the global fans which is evident growing into new heights..

I hope they will agree to help each other and have a season. Besides, well, thanks to the lockout this happened, but I feel bad for the great players because they are not playing. Some of them, already planned to play overseas even in the less salary they can get, because they do have passion for playing. Especially others who have the talent and wants to payback this season but unfortunately, like Charles says.. There might be no season or games to be play at all. How sad.

For now, I'll cherish what we saw, the experience, damn.. It was so great, I did not mind watching them against Gilas, but great for Gilas, they were close!!!!

Is it possible to have them as imports here? =)


Captain America: The First Avenger

Well, most of the superheroes we've known have either innate abilities, or curse.. Or even an accident to get special powers or skills, abilities as well. Others trained to do those special things, but some, well, very lucky. They were given those abilities or powers.


For this hero, he is one of them, and he has one thing he posses, the courage to fight for his country in times of war.

For this one, yes, a review a lot shorter. =)

Actually I already finished the gist of the movie but suddenly I realized, well, it's time to make it shorter, besides.. I have many posts to do.

After I saw the trailer, I was not buying it at first because it's Chris Evans and I was not really interested seeing him as another marvel character. Remember, he is already Human Torch.

Leading lady is not known, but it has Stanley Tucci and Tommy Lee Jones, and yes, Howard Stark, Tony Stark's dad!

But after watching Thor this year, I give it a shot and the following trailers came for this movie are great, so let's see. I listened to the spill.com review and they are happy. Even without the review, let's see!!!!!!!

Of course, there was Rheg and we went to trinoma, Harry Potter still there and jam packed. Transformers 3 still there but it has well, less audience. Those 2 movies, I did not watch it because of the time I had this past weeks, hectic due to collections. And besides, I was not happy for Transformers 2, meaning I'll just wait for junkie to load it up. For Harry Potter, even they say it's good, I'll just wait for junkie to load all of those 8 movies. =)

The line for Captain America, was long. I was surprised, because he has many fans, maybe they like how it will go.

After the movie, wow, I really enjoyed it.. For the bad parts, well, some of them. Some of the scenes, well the transition of it not good. Especially it has less scenes that when he has a team already, or how about Steve doesn't have so much family background. He just said, his father was a war veteran then mom a housewife..

Another thing, which are quite critical for the story. Since I read some of the parts of it online, Bucky is important in Captain America and of course, which I really know important is Red Skull.

Both were dead. Damn.. I love Red Skull because he is somewhat alternate ego of Captain America, as it shown in that old movie. And played great by Hugo Weaving, even he has less scenes but effective and great.

Now let's go to the goodies...

First is the setting of the film, great setting for the film, taken from the original story, great details as well..That WWII 40's feel, and surprisingly, it was directed by the dude who made Rocketeer, which has great details, except for the story perhaps.

I love the part when Cap became a mascot for recruiting to the US army.. I definitely loved it and laugh out of it. The training excercises, I was making fun of it, because Steve was really a loser but in the last excercise, the flag pole, wow.. That's was clever and of course, how brave he is to take the grenade, but it was fake though.

Second, the effects, number one is... Well, when I knew that Chris Evans is that thin dude, that's it!!!! He won. Simply amazing, it's not even exposed that well, that is someone else. The transformation was great as well, the costumes, the shield swinging.. The laser effects, wow.. The effects of the tezzeret and well, Red Skull!

Even the last sequence was great, the big airplane, and the clash of Cap and Skull, that I've waited for. It was short though.

Lastly, well, directing is good, redeemed himself in this movie.. But I give credit to the actors.. Hayley Atwell is the hot brit chick. She is indeed british.. Stanley Tucci, damn I hope he stayed for long.. Bucky and the rest of the team, played their roles good.. Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark, that is a great one, I'm looking forward to that dude. That's why Tony is like that.

Two actors stood great in this movie. Nah, not Samuel Jackson..

But Tommy Lee Jones, played effortlessly being the commander of the special forces. Every scene he is in, very outstanding presence.. Even it's a serious or a fun one, great performance. I think, he did that spontaneously. Southern strict commander.

Of course, Chris Evans, besides that bulk he has already. The acting is great, especially when he was thin, then of course for the final scenes, great one. Better than green lantern. Well, Ryan Reynolds is good, but Chris was better. Thor? Chris equals Chris Evans. =)

Great for Marvel Studios for the past movies they made, for the heroes they have.. They made it into a general audience graphic novel type. Meaning believable stories.. Comics and Novel are different than screenplay for movies, so they did a fantastic job getting writers who can make good screenplays for the heroes. A more realistic one, not too much sci fi, or too much sci fi effect on it.

I forgot, the cinematography to this one is great.. Some scenes are real, so I really looking forward for the home release!

Great thing for this marvel movies that it has enough build up to become Avengers!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!! Looking forward to it, like what I did in Watchmen.

I just hope they remove Black Widow.

Indeed, Steve got lucky getting his power, it just he went unlucky, not meeting Agent Carter in the end, went cold for 70 years. But still strong though, same Captain America!

Pangasar ni Mang Inasal!

Previous blogs, I really loved Mang Inasal for sometime, before it was bought by a monster Jollibee.. However, as yun experience ko with it, from good, bad, to worse!!!!!

Siyempre let's go to worse na. hehe

Tired of eating lunch sa pathetic na concessionaire sa MJ, me and my team mates isip na kumain sa Mang Inasal, may bagong branch sa Valero. Punta kami, tapos maluwag ha. Gabi na kasi.

Eto na, oorder na kami, ako since parang kumain na ko, gusto ko lang yun 1 piece barbeque meal with rice.. Kaso eto naman si Ate, sabi 10 mins pa daw, and gusto ako paoorderin ng PM3, yun dalawang barbeque with unli rice. Naisip ko, ayoko nga saka yun ang gusto ko eh.. Kaso naisip ko na din, mag halo halo with ice cream na lang, since yun din oorderin ng kateam mate ko.

Eh si Ate, nun nakuha yun order, nagtanong kung ilalagay daw yun ice cream sa cone?! Naman oh. hehehe Saka iprepare na yun halo halo, sabi namin now na. So ayun, wait kami. Yun ibang team mate namin, mukhang nakagat sa offer ni Ate, tig PM order sila.

We waited and check yun place, ok naman, kahit medyo maliit, mukhang ok.. Tapos habang nagiintay kami, siyempre kwentuhan at asaran, pero nung tumatagal na, mga 10 mins, aba.. Medyo bad trip na kami.

At nakakagulat sa lahat, nauna pa yun PM ng mga team mate namin! Aba, medyo na irate na yun kasama ko umorder ng halo halo, mabuti may dala siyang carbonara from Avenetto. hehe

Aba, 20 mins na at sa kaka follow up nun order, sila Ate at Kuya, nagkakalabo na kung ano gagawin sa halo halo. At nauna na yun mga ibang umorder.

25 mins later, and yes, there is the order. Unfortunately, nagulat kami sa size, lumiit at ayun di masarap! 45 pesos, at yun size, parang isang baso lang at ika nga yun team mate ko, sabi niya, parang dalawang kaskas lang ok na. hehe Grabe, kakadisappoint, and as I finish my measly halo halo, di na ko kakain sa Mang Inasal! Pwede pa din, basta libre. hehe

Grabe, well, poor follow up service, poor menu.. Very poor quality, meaning parang nagtitipid na sila.. That happened na when Jollibee bought them.. Food shouldn't be parang other corporate entities na cost cutting na o magayos na din ng menu, kaso iba talaga pag malaki yun company.. They will do that no matter what. Jeez..

Ah, masarap na tuloy ang Chic-boy Halo halo. Kahit yun turon na lang versus sa Halo halo nila, sa turones na lang. hehe O kaya, eto na lang, yun lumpiang sariwa, mas ok pa yun kaysa sa mga palamig nila. hehe Peste talaga, nangaasar lang sila!

If they read this, great, they should take this seriously. Naks, not because they will lose a customer, pero if that goes on, I won't be surprised that they will close some branches, or worst, close it down! hehe

Sayang pa naman yun effort na nagtayo ng Mang Inasal, sana di na lang niya binenta, well..

If you been offered half a billion in cash plus stocks, ako din, ibebenta ko na! hahaha

But sayang, nathreat na niya the biggest food chain here..

For now, let's all eat to Chic-Boy!


flashbacks: Math Word Problems

Jeleane asked for help, siyempre pag math lalo na kung compute na lang, madali lang eh. Kaso nun nakita ko mga phrases na when the person run for 6km uphil then 2km downhill, then compute for the speed of the entire course, naku, ayoko ko na!!!!!!!!!!! hehe

Wayback HS, until college, well, I'm blessed na matiyaga ako sa math, especially Algebra, or the simple mathematical equations, or sa other math excercises.. Nun UST days na, lalo sa Algebra, nagulat ako na nakaka 1.25 o 1 ako sa Algebra. Di naman sa pagyayabang, pang grade 2 eh! hahaha

Nagugulat yun mga classmates ko nun college, magaling ako sa math. Sabi ko naku, di ako magaling sa math. They did have word problems pero mga simple lang, pang business and statistical use, which is easy. They don't know, nun HS, naku, parang middle pack lang ako sa class pagdating sa math. Pano naman, yun mga magagaling, magaling talaga. Ayoko ko nga ng trigo o calculus which are the causes of my failing in ACET. hehe Crap those subjects. Yes, ang mga HS kaklase ko, lalo na yun iba na binubully ako, magaling sa math. Well, yun ibang excercises kopyahan! hehe Saka siyempre diskarte sa mga titser, alam na, pipila tapos yun na. hahaha

Pero sa quizzes o test, naku naman, mataas sila. Pano nila nagawa yun? hehe

I can say, mahirap ang math word problems nun HS, lalo na yun bandang 3rd and 4th.. Some of them well, naintindihan ko ng kaunti, yun iba, wala na ko pagasa. hehe Most of them, yeah, they are freaking hard to understand.

At yes, even in science, you need to have the ability to identify these problems kasi sa mga higher sciences, ganito na eh. Mabuti di ako ng engineering, puro ganito ang isolve ko, meaning bagsak ako! hehe

At least, naalala ko yun 3 steps, I'm not sure if they are general steps. First is digest and outline yun problem, get the details o yun measurements o yun kailangan mo to solve the problem. Second is what kind of solution to get the answer or formula. Lastly, siyempre the work of itself, the computation and siyempre yun answer. At kung malas malas, explain mo bakit yun. Which is wala naman nun HS. hehe

Grabe, talagang kasumpa sumpa yun mga excercises na yun. Mabuti graduate na ko sa ganun. hehehe

Then college, akalain mo ako pa nagtuturo on some math subjects. Geez, thankful naman ako sa LSQC kasi iba yun math level nila to other schools, except for the other HS, pero ibang level talaga.. Thanks! =)

Di ko lang alam today kung gaanun pa din ang level ng Math from LSQC, pero sana tumaas or kahit steady lang, kasi malaking tulong sa student. Kahit yun ibang kabatch ko, nagugulat na they get praises because of the math skills from HS, kahit di naman masyado magaling. hehe

Yes, this kind of word problems may moral lesson naman, it is used on how to solve life problems which when I got older, I quite did not use it. It helps only for school setting perhaps. hehe Pero yeah, parang ganun lang siya kasi despite of my problems, I never really take time to lay out the solution first, so siguro na din sa experience. Besides, you will not use a scientific or a formula to solve for example debts. Siguro yun approach parang word problems, pero yun mismong word problem, wala eh. Mahina talaga ako. =(

Ah di ko na sinagot yun excercise ni Jeleane, may sagot na, sabi ko tama na yun! =)


Countdown from 1361

That is the free text I have for all networks. I'll see if I can reduce that into zero, nadah.

Yes, the problem I had with Globe as I wrote before, they are not joking.. They disabled my autoload max feature in my present globe number. At first, I was frustrated because I need to change my number again, which I've done almost twice in a year.. And yes, I need to have an extra phone again for this extra SIM. Ah yes, I like I said before, I did lost my 3 sim phone.

Meaning, I have 4 SIMS again, I thought of changing the number right away and text all of them my new number.. And it is tiring.. Well, I thought of anyway, keeping this number, finish all the free text and that's the time I'll switch to the new one.

The first sim that well, got ruined, has 5000 free text which I admit did not use it because at that time, I always subscribe to text promos, unli whatever just to accumulate this into a monster number!

But well, as God says, anything excess, will be taken from you. One day, sim card error, try to replace it but it will be impossible already so oh well. I'll just get another number. =(

For this time, to save some money and yes, 1000 text is still 1000 text, I rather use it until the last text. =)

For now, it's 1189 and my guess is around 2 months, or max of 2 months, it's all gone. So the free text in my new number should be many! =)

But I think it may go early, with everyday, I text the shop, family, friends, customers, even for collection, so I feel, before 2 months is over. It is gone. Damn, the new number I got is not that good, but easy to remember.

Change is inevitable, I hope, for this kind of number change, it will be easy for me, for all of us. Wow, for all of them. =)

Let's start the countdown.

Koleksyon

"Bukas na lang ha.."

"Payday na lang po.."

"Sa next payday na ha.."

Well, some of those words, at the back of my head.. Quite irritating, nakakapanghina, actually when you visit everyday, 2 buildings tapos siyempre yun huli dun ako work. Parang yun, minsan kakabad trip. Wala pa naman ganito sa 3rd building. Thank Lord. hehe


Pero, of course, as a businessman or as a business na din and besides almost all of them, kilala ko na. Wala na naman ako magagawa, kung wala sila naku, siguro may mga delay ako sa babayaran ko talaga. =)

Compare to the patience you need in talking to an irate, or a clueless customer, than this collection role, mas matinding patience ang kailangan! Kahit minsan nakakapagod na at yes, I cursed them pero wala naman ako magagawa. That's where risk is coming in. I risk my everyday baon. =(

But thank God, kahit may mga delay, nagbabayad naman.. Nagbawas na nga ko ng customer kasi ang hirap kolektahin.. Pero nagbayad naman. I'm thinking na din of a list na kung sino ang dapat medyo magisip kung pautangin ba to or what. hehe

Unfortunately, may mga di pa nagbayad, pero thank God na di naman malaki. Maliit lang pero sayang din di ba.. Mahirap pa, yun pinagkakatiwalaan mo eh yun pa di pa nagbabayad.

Siyempre, di naman maintindihan na nakatseke yun.. Or even magagalit ang supplier or how about painvest ko din sa tindahan.. Or how about, I can pay other bills due to that loss. But customers, will not understand that, kahit maliit lang ang biz ko, they don't understand that. Yeah, because they thought they are always have the right. Not always right, have the right.

It runs out my patience o ika nga, nakakaubos ng pisi.. Pero what I do, sige basta magbayad at a time na sinabi.

Nakakatuwa nga eh.. Pano kaya if every company in the world would still do this? Manual collection, lalo sa utilities, everyday may pupuntang collector. hehe Parang nakakapeste yun. Thanks to a billing system, madali lang sa kanila mangolekta. Except sa bad debts collectors.. Ironically, I have bad debts, tapos, ngayon, I'm collecting, even honestly.. I haven't paid it up.

But one day, they will be gone, and they will stop. =) Well, I thank him for this extra opportunity, kahit papano nga nafast track lahat ng babayaran ko. Nung una nga, di ko naman maisip, magexpand dito sa office because I may not able to handle the stress and extra work para sa business.. I had the fear, pero I thank God, now for months or baka year na.. Eto, may nakukulekta naman ako sa Monday. =)

For those yun nga, di pa nagbabayad, well, yun lang.. Magbayad!

For those, may delay, bayad on time..

At sa magbabalak. Magbayad. hehe

Yun lang.. At if you're asking when I will stop.. Well, siguro pagwala na ko diyan! Pero di pa naman agad yun.. Siyempre, magtatagal pa ko dito! hehe Unless, the plans I set up became fulfilled. =)

For now, I'll collect my baon.

unplanned 26

Geez, eto na muna.. Bago yun mga mahahaba. hehe Ah, yes, movie reviews will be shorter. No more spoilers or gist! Ok na. hehe

For now, ayun 2-3 na UST at sana mag 3-3 naman bukas against UP! May pagasa pa USTE!!!!

Dapat later na to kaso for now, parang pahinga muna sa ibang topic. For now, medyo may moves na kaso like always, busy. It has progress though.

For the week coming, medyo busy kasi daming gagawin.. Mabuti na lang may VL after that week. Ang sarap sa new LOB.. Yun GRIDD ko, sobrang wow, I did not expect na ganun na agad. Less work, more rewarding. Yun nga lang, medyo mataas ang work load, pero may sobrang time pa din for rest sa work. hehe

But other than that, yun load for everything lessens, the financial stress medyo nabawasan din.. Hay, it just my body might take it's toll. So I need some rest, at nakaplan na! hehe

This year, I'll make sure I'll get that long rest. =)

What else.. Ah.. Napaisip ko na din magayos ng kalat, literally here sa kwarto. Hmmm, due to the less load, ayun, sometimes, nakakalinis na. hehe

Ah, life could be simpler but I can't.. Due to the duties or responsiblities I have, damn.. But thanks to him, it is a blessing.. Blessing for this life.

Kahit may mga problema or sakit sa ulo, even a downer in times.. At the end of my breath, I say, let's move on!

For now, hay marami pa ko gagawin.. Nice stop though.. Perhaps. =)
