flashbacks: BT Junkie, a source of fun!

Ted at Tan.. Nakita niyo na ba to?

BT junkie
2005 - 2012
"This is the end of the line my friends. The decision does not come easy, but we've decided to voluntarily shut down. We've been fighting for years for your right to communicate, but it's time to move on. It's been an experience of a lifetime, we wish you all the best!"

What the ? Kala mo na di na matitibag at mahuhuli eh sila rin pala susuko. Ano ba naman yan!!!!? hehe No more source of fun.. Fun meaning I got what I need and want, and some other stuff, good things comes to an end. Great things keeps forever. Sayang, wala na talaga..

Hay, bad trip.. Ok lang mawala ang limewire, frostwire or whatever sharing or how about piratebay? I don't care about them. This is pathetic, well, it's inevitable talaga. I first discovered it siguro 3 years ago when just surfing and since walang kwenta yun ibang website, at kailangan ko ng films to watch, I accidentally fall to this site. The rest, history!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah boy! I have a collection na..

Very sad that kailangan nila magsara, siyempre nahuli yun megaupload and for their safety sa huli. Malamang inunahan na nila yun FBI or Interpool whatever.. Damn, I miss those days na kailangan ko naka-on ang computer ko for almost every night just to get some stuff!!! hahaha

90% of the stuff I have now in programs or downloading eh galing sa kanila. Thanks for everything even sa hard to find films or art films, nakuha ko naman. I learned when to get a good copy because of them.

Programs that are not easy to find eh sila muna check ko, pag ok na, edi ipagkalat na mayrun na.

I saved a lot especially time and effort, other than going to tower quiapo which now eh wala na din.

It's damn sad, it's a great loss.. Whew, sana may nakuha pa kami sa kanila kaso ganun talaga. A very sad rate.. Tragic loss perhaps.

Although it's not over yet, there are still many of them, but this one will be sorely missed. Definitely a part of our computer surfing lives, BT junkie I can say one of the best websites. Ever!!!! =(

Mautak nga sila, di nagpakilala yun founders or founder nito kasi it's a org website and simply no contact whatsoever.. Kaya they can be safely free. It was. hehe

It's not over yet, like I said, may iba pa at yes, ok naman yun iba, although not complete but that's fine. Finders Keepers...

Tuloy pa din ang sharing! =)

Kudos to BT Junkie!

PreView

A month of love or a month to hate.For me, it's a forgettable month for me. hehe I'm not looking for a date or something perhaps. Ang iniisip ko na lang eh to find work and to learn something, although yun being healthy eh wala pa kasi wala pa ko exact schedule.Sa mga naaplayan ko, olats. Kakagaling ko lang ng job fair eh ayun, same companies that I see. Hay, is there any other company na iba naman, non voice na sana. Pero sabi nila magpahinga daw muna ako, well, mukhang ganun gagawin ko for the following weeks. Although I have my last resort pero siyempre di ko muna gagawin. Last resort nga eh. heheNBI clearance sucks, 4 hours of standing seating tapos 15-30 mins na processing, mabuti maaga na ko kumuha noon kundi hindi, siyam siyam pa pala. Talagang may hit ako, kala ko wala na. heheWhat else, hmmmm for now yun na lang, I can't tell what's going to happen.. Who can tell you that. Nobody unless him. Abangan na lang ang susunod na kabanata. Namiss ko yun charades sa office. hahahaha Saka pusoy din at siyempre tulugan na din. Musta na kaya yun mga nagpaiwan?Ah yes, nothing against showtime, but malamang. May taning na! heheheLet's hope for the best.. For all of us!

ReView

Ah, ano pa ba sasabihin ko. Nandiyan na lahat. hehe

January, not bad like last year. Although siyempre mas mahirap ngayon pero I had to do it para maiba na and to do what I can do to enjoy life, and be happy. With him of course.

Actually I don't know what else to say, but thank God tapos yun half of my problems or worries, for this next month is crucial. San kaya ako pupulutin? hehe

For now I can't answer that, I'm just dreaming na nandun ako in those countries na nabanggit ko. I've watched films because of free time, at mabuti wala naman bumigo. hehe

I'm happy for this past month and letting go is a big part of it. Let's see what are his plans? I've already have mine, I don't know if what he will offer to me... Good luck!

Thankful and blessed I am for the past month and looking forward na lang next month. Oo nga pala, marami pala next month kasi nagshort ako last month. =)

Makakahabol ako niyan.

United Kingdom

I'll make this short and sweet for this country. =) I like calling it United Kingdom than Great Britain.

As I move forward to this description, I can say that from the other three, this is my favorite!

Thanks to the world's local bank.. I've experienced interaction with this country. Oh, how about the films I've watched, almost all of them from this country.

Let's start first, well.. What I don't like.. Well, first of all, it's hard to learn their accent. I think you will need years to adapt and copy their accent, that is British English. But never ever, please you can't copy other accents, like Welsh and Scottish. I'll just watch welsh and scottish actors to fill my need for that accent. =) Although I was able to copy that brit accent but not that long because I need to speak to another english lad.

Second, hmmmm not the geography, but the weather. Even in a sunny day, you will need to wear a jacket due to it's cold weather. Very cold weather, and I may not stand that weather for a long day.

Third, well, they like football. I know, I am not a fan of football, and they are the ones who are crazy about football even they have a weak national football team. I just can't seem to like as they are die hard fans. Hooligans perhaps except for Manc United, they're really a good team but well, I hope they can bring that in the world cup. How about Chelsea?

But for that aspect, I'll still rooting for basketball or how about rugby.. They can be great in other sports but in that one, sorry.. I think it won't work.

That third one, I just made up because I don't know what else to hate in them. I do understand that some of the customer's I spoke to are racist but well, they're few, much few than Aussies. The most? I forgot, the US.. But those comments doesn't really matter to me, unless they are so many..

Ah, one more thing, oh well, like Japan, a very high cost of living. The cheapest brand you can buy there? Marks and Sparks, and here it's like a high street brand. Damn.. That's the cheapest brand of clothing there.. Yikes, I hope they have SM there, at least one store.

Okay, let's go forth to why the heck I love this country besides the union Jack flag?

First, the people, although they are hard to understand for first timers, they are accommodating and lovely. Lovely in british terms, very approachable and most of all, intellectual. Freedom and liberty are fully incorporated those who are in the right minds, and they are those minds. Very eloquent, articulate and easy to deal with. Very understanding people, outgoing and yes, very much into travel. They are very open minded people, less censorship and very curious.

I spoke to one customer before and when I told that customer I'm from the Philippines, the customer became very intuitive, curious about the country. Our billing call became a travel talk to make it short and customer promised to come here sometime even I said to the customer less about our country. Customer maybe fond of our weather. I owe as well, my curiosity and open mind from them, and the sense of more patience and understanding. I hope the accent as well. hehe

Even times are changed, they were able to adopt and think Classical. =)

They seem interested always and always think before they act. Funny people too, when you're into their culture, they are very funny. Beautiful lads, yeah.. When you have Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley, Samantha Morton, the chick from Captain America, Carrie Mulligan, and even Helen Mirren and other ladies with stature and elegance, that's it. I want to meet more of UK ladies than Japanese ones. Intellect and elegant, strong willed.

The dudes like James Mcavoy, Michael Fassbender, Gary Oldman, Clive Owen which at first I did not like him, even Andrew Garfield, ah great Ian Mckellen if I got the spelling right, Sean Connery, Ewan Mcgregor, Roger Moore, Simon Pegg! hahaha, Daniel Craig, Colin Firth, and others to mention.. A real man, wise yet it has good looks. Not perfect but enough good looks, funny as well. Except for Timothy Dalton. hehe I forgot Christopher Lee.

Oh, well.. I hope I studied there, and get some good diet and might be like them somehow.

Second, yeah, geography, even it's cold.. Except for London, the other cities are not that tight and quite disciplined. Although they have less places to visit, I don't care.. One place I will definitely go, is not Liverpool. It's Manchester!!!! If you're not a Manc, you're a Wank! hahaha Damn, best place due to where my music idols lived, Joy Division/New Order, The Smiths, Punk bands, even the Cure perhaps, yeah, just because of that. Although I love Scotland because of the wide scenary of green and quite tranquil place. That same goest to Northern Ireland.. Isle of Man I guess. hehe

Third, yes, music! Enough said, from Pop, Rock, everything about music started here. Even dance music and rave parties as shown in 24 hour party people. hehe Very deep music, from the lyrics and rhythm.. All of it, my musical haven came here. My influence to music, came here. Even others don't understand and few who can love Brit music, well.. Great! Timeless classics and well, keeps on making serious ones like now, Adele is one great example. They creativity in music is really good, in terms of lyrics and deepness of song. That's why in my playlist, 50% are british songs, including new wave hits. hahaha

Oh I miss Amy.. =(

Fourth, great government. Although many brits may find it appalling for this part but I don't see or not too many governments who has social support in housing maybe before, hmmm benefits, assistance and most of all, which I can't believe, free hospitalization and cheap medicine. Very cheap. It's like one price and get as much as you want. Wow. That's it! I asked that in one of my customer's before, and customer quite shocked that it's not applied in other countries. Geez, what we have here is just philhealth and Mercury drug which is a moneymaker as well. So, oh well I'm envious and that's one of the factors why they have a long, very long life span. In my stay at that brit account, that was the account I've talked to many 80-90 year old lads. And they do system password reset in the phone which is a pain in the arse! Wow, their mind is still sharp. That's long life.. Indeed a long life. Like Japan, well they can live longer with that kind of support and diet they have, you'll definitely enjoy life there.



Fifth, hmmmm of course, movies! Although movies in the US and Japan are great, I got more interested in them. The european style of filmaking is always open for any theme or topic, so that's why they are influenced as well. But I found them more simple despite the accent and characters as well. I found them more entertaining. There are many films to mention about this but one great example is Shawn of the Dead. I mean, when I got that flick, I have no clue about it but great thing I am working already in that brit account, so it was a simple plot but very funny and entertaining behind that gore and crazy stuff. Or how about trainspotting, damn.. Very graphic yet it's a thrill ride. Or how about hunger which is very politically sound but damn serious. Recently, The Guard! Low budget but great story, action and acting as well..

A lot to mention, these films have one same quality. Doesn't care about censorship because their board of censors does make sense. We only cut scenes if it's really inappropriate viewed by a free mind. That's it, and look they rarely do that except for some good films. Unlike in the US, geez, one factor films cannot be pushed to the limit is because of their censorship.

How about government support for the films. Sad to say I don't know if they still exist but they are few in the world who really support and produce films. Damn I hope, they can put again UK Film Council. I know each state has one as well but that depends on the budget.


Sixth, yes, the only country that has the sixth reason. Actually I don't know. =) High brand cars are cheaper there. Yes, it is.. The ones sold here the old BMW's or Mercedes still reaches a million. In the UK, you can buy with your 3k quid for an old good BMW. Damn, that's only 200k if you converted it here!!! Even I don't know much in cars and driving, I still prefer european cars, expensive yet brand and effecient worth it. In the UK, damn.. My dream cars are not really much except for super cars. I can even watch more of Top Gear!

Lastly, simply the accent! It sounds becautiful not only in the phone but in person. Very elegant and detailed, I hope I can learn more of it except for that other accents which I can't really understand. I was shocked before that one of my customer's told me I sound like his neighbor. Very good chance that I can really get their accent. One well spoken bloke!


That's it, I hope, if there is really a chance to live in the UK. I'll grab it and raise a family! hehe

I know they are in almost dire straits, I believe they can overcome such difficulty because of not only government alone but people who knows what to do and never give up. Yeah, due to the US financial crisis, they were struck by it and sad to say it's affecting their NHS.. Quite scary.

Honorable mention for the countries I want to visit or live! Spain, maybe because of women again, spanish, and Ibiza. Brazil! hehe Same reason.. China because of the culture and food.. SG for work. hahaha Germany, home of the best beer and yes, cars! NZ because it's the same of UK just remove almost 4 factors. AUS because of the beach and UK like culture except for 3 factors. Russia! Same as Spain and Vodka perhaps. Philippines of course, more fun! France-Italy-Israel, for holy pilgrimage... Many more to mention, but in my lifetime difficult to go to all those places..

Only 3 who stands out. Indeed!

Japan

The Land of the Rising Sun. A nation full of pride and honor, up to their citizens.. A strong country able to survive troubles, and most of all, earthquakes.

Home of one the great cuisines, and yes, great culture! Great people, the HS chicks. =) And admirable ladies as well, I just like their pose, maybe I'm fond of them. I think they're better than the ladies here. Nah, just joking, first are here, then close second, Japs Girls. =)

Damn, I was very sad that they stopped their promotion of giving away free tickets to Japan due to budget contraints. It's easy to join, just make an essay about them. I thought of this one but I was demotivated already. But I'll do it anyway. =)

I was deeply sad what happened last year, a very strong earthquake and tsunami struck them, leaving them damaged and affected greatly. One of their nuclear power plants severly damaged and of course many people died, earning lost, livelihood.. It was hard for them to recover, as I heard from NHK, it may take 2-5 years to be radioactive free. Yikes. =(

However, it did not change my feeling of still going there. Someday.

While I'm in the hospital coz of Dad, some things they need to improve. Watching NHK World, and very informative indeed but come on, they can do better than that. Repeated news shows in a day, then they should get more Japanese Girl Newscasters, although they have one but well, Japanese Men speaks better english. How sad. =(

Although they have british Lady weathercaster but their other segments or programs, well, foreigners are there. Interesting those they speak Japanese. =)

Government wise, yes, they need to prepare for the worse, especially when they raise taxes. Since their trading power of exporting is down and it maybe for a long time, they need to get other sources. One of them taxes which unfortunately, will not help in the long run especially in their situation. Hmmmm, yes another thing I don't like them, sometimes honor and pride when are lost, it gets so much in their heads and commit harakiri. I thought that is only done in movies but oh well, it's a reality to their society. Please if you can also lower the cost of living.. Damn high.

Women also not really equal with men at some point, although I can't pin point some examples, but what I see and yes like in the government setting as well, they are somewhat few holding some positions.

What else, weirdness perhaps. Even one of the brightest citizens in the world, but some has weirdness as well, you can see that in some inventions, or example, some movies they show and yes, some tv shows. =) Lastly, and definitely, I denounce one region in Japan, which they legalize, dolphin hunting.. Although I'm not that environmentalist whatever, but after watching the Cove.. Come on, they should stop that for the sake of the dolphin race. Please..

Enough of the negative side!! Let's go to what I love about this country..

Ichi, the very first reason or a way that entice me to really know Japan more was through Anime. Yes, as I kid and thanks to Kuya Allan's collection of VHS tapes, I was glued to their animation, from mecha, through serious anime stuff, Newtype magazine and more, I being stuck to it. Yes, even japanese songs, OST from their anime series.

The drawings are magnificent. Imagination they have are limitless and funny as it seems, they make really kawaii type of characters perhaps. Even the serious ones, like Akira or Miyazaki's works are mind boggling which really can compete with other types of serious work. Although 3D is the way in, but for them, like I saw last week, they can now blend 3D and 2D in one shot, wow.. Way advance, way cool!

Anime also shows on how they create console games, from my favorite MGS to DMC, even Super Robot Wars, or how about Street Fighter and Tekken.. KOF as well!!! The anime factor really shows a form of entertainment that they can be proud of, worldwide. I'm not really a good sketch or drawer like my Kuya but oh well, staring at them is really a big sigh of relief for me.
Good thing, those big eyes are not real. hehe

Ni, hmmmmmmmmmm Culture! As I watch NHK world, and yes, PTV or IBC showings of japanese culture and sights.. One that strikes me, is they have a lot of rituals. A lot, like making a sword or tea ceremony which takes hours and even simple meetings. The bow they do. Their work should always be perfect.. Following the samurai code although not through the sword but through the way of life. On how they entertain guest, and yes, my favorite. Nihongo.. I want to learn that one, from the orient languages we know, Nihongo is my favorite!!! I like how it sounds and how they say it.. Even yes, if you know how to speak, you should know how to write. Kanji! Maybe my permanship will improve through their calligraphy. hehe

Their love to their country and yes, if you're really love your country or family, do with all your best and never give up until the end. A lot of pride and honor always there, although like I said earlier it was bad sometimes but well... They just like that. Great example. WWII, they never gave up even they will risk or sacrifice their lives for honor.

Culture doesn't go without food, and yes, I love the cuisine except for the sashimi and more wasabi. But ramen, sushi, miso soup, and yes their rice is great and yeah, everything in their menu are fantastic. It's hot and fresh, healthy! How about their desserts, rice cakes, takoyaki the original, the japanese pizza. Yummy!

Music, yeah, great writers of music and you can hear that in the OST of anime shows. Even right now somewhat mixed with western style but it still bring out the Japanese factor on it. Arts as well, as they are good in Manga and very imaginative.

Movies, my second favorite in their culture. Great films that I like, some of them are here. Thanks to Miike, Kitano, Fukusaku although I only watched BR 1, Tsukamoto as well. hehe Actors as well and actresses, they can really act and I hope more will be in Hollywood, not only Ken Watanabe. Hmmmm I like what they do right now, more on low budget but action packed films starring AV actresses who should be doing more that than they always do.

Yes, the great Kurosawa as well. How can I forget watching Seven Samurai non stop at the defunct CTV 31 before. No cuts. Black and white. Geez. hehe It's just amazing how they do films so that's why, if they make a film from their source like Godzilla perhaps, then they show better than the remake. So please, stop touching them.. Look at Dragon Ball as a prime evidence. You know what I mean. Hahahaha

Ah, yes I forgot, how about the festivals they have!!! I thought they have more festivals than us, but anyway, I want to be one of those festivals they have, great food, people and spectacle. Except for that falling log race, please I want to live.

San! Geography. Bridges, bullet trains and streets, earthquake proof buildings.. Advance building structures and still, they keep the old time temples, inns, and yes, hot springs. Wow! My first stop should be Akihabara because it's tech and anime heaven for enthusiast like me. Then, I'll go to Mt. Fuji then yes, since I like the balance of hot and cold, go to Okinawa! Summer and winter almost just in one place.

Although I want to go other places, like with more hot springs.. Then they have alps as well, and those farms they have which is sunny and fresh.. How about the temples? Or Even the big temples? Geez.. I want to be there. Just once..

I love the weather they have, all 4 seasons plus sakura, cherry blossoms, quite romantic so yeah.. Just to be there..

How about the inns, houses they have? I like it, zen type and a good garden with a lot of bonsai perhaps. hehe Yeah, and how they effectively use land space. So, I hope I can go there sight seeing wearing that robe they have and that big wooden slippers. hehe

Shi: People. Although of course, you can see them very strict due to customs and culture they upbring but.. Well, they are very friendly people and hospitable like us, especially if you know how to speak nihongo. Men really like the father or leader figure who really held responsible for providing his family. Doing everything even it's impractical already especially at these times.. Never give up and men there should be well, relax.. Very workaholic. Some says, they are generous, although I know Japanese companies well, doesn't have that have good compensation packages but very generous maybe in terms of events or sort of. I don't know but Japanese bosses they say, generous.

Yes, women in Japan are very hospitable. I rarely see those who are quite agitated when you approach them. Unlike here perhpas, although they are more shy. However, physically I like their posture, and innocent looks. Ageless beautiful face and skin as well which not too white or brown. Come on, 30 something actresses still looks what 20? Eyes are quite luscious.. The great feature I love about them, is they have an attitude for really an ideal housewife. I mean, as I see in films and TV shows, even they are quite shy but they show love and loyalty to a guy. Especially if that guy is her husband. Very understanding and honest, and in return as well to their partner. Lovely indeed, I forgot how about their smile as well? Intellectual as well, for example, the last Japanese Miss Universe winner, I forgot her name, even she is not that stunning. She used her wits to win and poise. Winner! hehe

And yes, quite suprisingly, AV actresses are beautiful than the real actresses.. Oh well, maybe they are paid so much than going mainstream. But quite interesting, they are going to mainstream as well. hehe Crazy! But I hope they don't need to do that especially if they have real talent. =)

Ah I forgot, I know it's quite scary but I feel if you can live 80-90 years old, wow, meaning you can really enjoy life. Seeing how your family grows and being steady. Although I don't want to live that long but on what they can do, it changed me.

Another thing, I love one of their programs that senior citizens can make volunteer work, and been sent out into different missions and countries, meaning that's how they value senior citizens in Japan.

Go! Although it's weird, but their ability of being innovative in all faucets of life stands out. From movies, TV shows, games, anime, even in business, science, I mean everything! Geez, when I look at their education system, it's damn hard but look at them, quite smart despite physical disadvantage. Physically yes, some of them look good but compare them to US, or European countries? Quite small. Take perhaps, basketball! Although they have 7 footers, it's few, unlike Euro and US, they are many. Geez.

Well, I know this post is quite long, I just can't help it but love this country. Better than USA.. I don't care if they are expensive than US but with these factors they have, it's all worth it.

I hope one day, I don't need to watch and fantasize the country by just watching backdated educational tours. Or how about NHK world in cable TV? I hope there is WOWOW here. hehe Or how about relying in their films as well? Nah..

One day, I should be there... Walking in Tokyo and go to Tokyo Tower or how about in the high mountains and live in zen for a while. Bill Murray was quite lucky in Lost in Translation. hehe That short time is enough for me..

Sodes ne.. hehe

Arigato! - Kuroikenshin

USA

Although these past months, we never discussed about going in this country. How about some of my best friends encouraging me to apply for a visa, go to this and try some luck.. My answer is no.. Geez.. Maybe, one of the very last resort I will do to earn or at least to achieve something in life.

To all the documentaries I've watched which you know they are money. With the experiences that my friends had especially right now, the crisis still stuck in it.. It is very hard to really make a living there. Even they got their citizenships or saved already, in the end, they still choose to spend their lives, here. Except for my lovely cousins and relatives who well grew up there.

I'm lucky to visit there around 16 years ago.. As a graduation gift from my parents going to HS, which I discovered later that I need to use the tourist visa they gave me before it expires.. I went and enjoyed staying there for 3 months. Yes, I cried for the first 3 days but that was it. Going to San Francisco, Oakland, LA, and some places in Cali, it's a worthwhile experience. I loved it!!!

But yes, as I grew older and discovered a lot of things in life and other tastes as well from other countries, I left my desire going back to this country already. Even my parents, or siblings and yes, friends, encouraging me to go now or visit it again, I am not that interested anymore. Quite lazy perhaps and yes, it involves a lot of effort, money and yes... Time.

If I have a lot of the first 2 factors, I'll reconsider going there. hehe But, for now, nah..

I rather enjoy what I have, and yes, places to visit here at the Philippines, more fun perhaps.

I still love the US despite it's looming national debt, unhealthy food supply, financial crisis, unemployement and other bad factors affect the country. How about the people who are quite discriminating, especially in some states. Geez, I'll never go to those states.

First is you're reading to it. Yes, simple english.. Because of it, not only I'm writing right now easily but it helped me earn in call centers I worked for. Without their influence perhaps, maybe I'm what, bum forever. hehe Or quite stupid.

Second, yes, liberty perhaps. As being called, the melting pot of races, the best country as described before.. Land of the Free, those monickers won't be possible because of the attitude of this people. To always fight for the right, although some of my customers that I talked to, are not in the right position. Most of them, well, fight indeed for the right, and their history says, the same thing. Liberty in what you want to do, do what's best or make you happy, and always aim.. Yes, excellence, if possible, perfection to succeed in what you do. People there are always going not only they want but what is right, even odds are not with them.

People there are well, more active in volunteerism, and radical change.

Third, hmmmmm business strategies, I mean, the word efficient and effective in business are present in their style. The process of those factors are always present in how their business works. Like in Dell which, they always strive what's good for the customer in an effective way and yes, cost efficient as well. That works almost in all their corporations, except for some, like Enron perhaps. hehe But I like their strategy, especially marketing wise..

Fourth, Cheap goods. Yes, even with an unhealthy food supply and trade policies which not really benefits themselves, if you have a lot of money living there, you can buy anything, literally. From cheap electronic goods, sears, walmart, fast foods, transportation, how about cars from import to local made cars, and yes... Houses!!!! Due to this financial crisis and arrogance of other financial institutions, house prices drop downwards, and a lot became homeless.. Prices of those houses left, were very low and nobody really buys it fast. Even swaps won't work. I think that's the easiest way to get a green card or Citizenship, buy a house there. hehe

Lastly, if you're living in the US, you can choose a variety of environment you can live to. I mean, there is 50 states if I'm correct, then every state has a different identity. Like if I want a fast and lively environment, live in NY or CA. If you want cool weather, then live in CO. Or like me, a balance of weather or more summer months than winter, I mean more hot than cold, stay in TX or NM, a healthy lifestyle as well. Those kind of choices, I like it and yeah, I wish I could live in my preferred state.. Please not CA especially in the cities which it's like living in the PH. Please..


The US of A has a lot of things to fix, from fiscal policies, political will which the current leader lacks, food system, education system and a bit of everything.. They are lucky that they are still standing. Even the entertainment industry, damn, they should do more good music and movies. I hope that in the coming elections, their elections, they choose leaders who will fix every factor that affects their country.

Although all countries got affected, massive due to the crisis but who's to blame? You know what I mean..

If they were the ones who started it, then they should able to solve all those problems they created. Except for outsourcing perhaps, we need the jobs here. Sorry. hehe

But other than that, it's more than thinking straight, they should think what's well effective and efficient for them, for each citizen they have.. They should work together to solve this and have a better future for them.

If they won't work accordingly and responsibly, I won't be surprised that they will be divided in the future. To pay their dues, one side under Chinese or the other side under Arabs.

Nevertheless, I hope, I'll visit there soon! See my relatives, cousins, and others.. How about Great America! Damn, I miss that place.

How about to watch an NBA and NFL games live! Buy cool gadgets, especially black friday.. hehe

Yeah, the list never ends.

Dead End

It is the time to really stop and well, start all over again. =)

Thank God that my Dad eh ok naman, it was a longer operation that I expected through but good thing di naman naging complicated and not hard for him, especially at this age. Grabe, talagang matibay si Dad, it's love, hope and faith made it possible to him to overcome, at least 2 major operations in his lifetime. I always pray for a long life for him. Or at least, enjoy life already at his age. Thanks for the family na nagsupport and together at these tough times.

For me, it is dead end for now. No more RAM na pwedeng tulugan after 4 hours of work then 4 na oras din na petiks. =( I gave up my shop that helped for almost 3 hours, the longest tenure I have in a job. Longer than yes, 24/7. hehe Pero parehas sila mahaba, longer than beloved Dell, and yes the worrisome HSBC and Parlance.

Although it was hard but I felt, it was the right thing to do.

Right now, I'm like facing a big wall and nothing to do, or let's say I'm stuck on it. I can't go back sa dati, it is a dead end. Pero siyempre, I don't want to go back, and do the same things. Maybe it's time to face this wall and try to climb o kahit think of ways to go through.

Well, I can pray perhaps until it moves. hehe Pero nah.. On the books I've read for the past weeks, siguro the best way is to find a way talaga to get out of it and lead a new path. Kung baga, nothing will happen if you stay put and pray, hoping for a miracle.. Time to take action, maybe go into that previous path pero other way naman. Or how about really, try to climb and see what's instore at the other side. Mga ganun diskarte, besides ways are limitless in this life. Don't forget as well, what you have, what you can take.. What you can do. What you want or what you need..

For now, after all what happened, it's better to stop over, rest at this dead end. =)
