Hay, sosobra pala ako ng isang post. hehe Pesteng kasing net to, sumabay pa sa kamalasan ko this month.
Not yet worst kasi pangalawang buwan pa naman ng tao. Worse lang. hahaha

Anyway, work, ok na sana eh, pesteng QA yan, nagsimula lang sa unang monitor lagpak agad.. Eh madaya pa, pagkatapos ng markdown, update na! Daya. 

Despite work output was down, mabuti na lang medyo hirap ang OPI so baka walang sharing.. Mabuti pala mababa stats ko. hahaha Ibig sabihin kahit mageffort, no extra profit. First time ata to for almost more than a year. 

Pero sana sa March bawi na.

After the long wait, implementation training sa SAP eh natuloy na. Unang topics kaya pa eh, kaso nung may UDV na at query, dun na ko pinugo. Sumakit na ulo ko at ayun, mukhang this March puro aral na.
Marami na nga ako sacrifices for March, hmmm I can't write for the paper and may namiss pa ko wedding ng friend. =( Very sad but well I need to do it for a change in professional path.

Mabuti naman this month eh may mga obligation na din ako tapos. Except siyempre yun bisita ni Gerro. hehe But other than that, eto ok lang. 

Napilitan ako ilipat ang computer sa ibang kwarto due to some signal issues of my new source of net. hahaha Infinite source..

What else.. More stress lang sa work at sa study. Medyo tahimik ang other factors. Ayos yun. 

Ah! Nasubukan ko yun pinakamalapit na spa dito, one minute nasa spa shop na ko. May promo eh. 

Bad trip, di sulit, dun na lang sa dati. hahaha Mabuti promo yun presyo. Parang ilang araw na, balik stress na yun katawan ko. Yun hard nung nagmasahe kasi di pa hard sa kin unlike other spa.. 

Anyway, ano pa.. May pag asa pa ang ROS!!!!

Extra rice, ROS!!!! hahahaha

March will be kinda a death march. =(

1000++

After checking my list and counters sa blogspot and wordpress, never in my wildest dreams to reach this mark!!! hahaha

I wonder to myself, why am I keep writing? 

Why I'm not running out of topics to discuss kahit nagbawas na ko ng post every month? 

Is it passion? Hmmmm yah. I'm a crazy man talking to his self.

Is it for fame? I'm not famous. hahaha

Is it for profit? How I wish.. hehehe But doing this for years and still not earned anything yet. But learning to do it due to well, distress..

Is it for love? Love for myself, love to others, Love God, Love Jesus, Love life. Despite a lot of hate around us. 

Is it for something to reach? To prove? Hmmm I just realize I can write kahit di naman ako nagsusulat in school. Geez.. hehe I'm quiet but when I write, parang ang daldal ko pala. Di ko alam why.

Is this going to end? From my motivation before to release stress, dissappointment or even hatred, but that has changed.. Maybe it's a tool or avenue of putting in record my life or how I view it. Through different ways, such as rants, reviews, films, music, o kahit food o kahit mga pangarap ko o lalo na yun mga nangyari na sa buhay ko. Maybe an inspiration to others or make someone hate you or even dissed you..
Anything goes. I don't really mind. What I do mind..

At least someone knows. It will only end when I wake up one day or I felt that I'm done, stop this anymore. Not dictated by somebody else. Only me that I'll decide. 

Is there going to be another blog? There is but di pa ngayon kasi this year I'm in kinda transition phase so after that and if everything is in place, mayroon pa. Sure na yun is about film.. But ayusin ko muna tong blog ko. Magulo, looks crap and pale. hahahaha Great thing, a couple of people might help me design this better. Just to become viral or marami magvisit o mangbwisit o kahit magcomment.. Please not bots. 

Is there a message you want to leave for the readers after this milestone? 

Just keep reading. Thanks for your precious time dropping here my friend!!!!!!!

Will go for another thousand more? I think I answered that. hehe

Oo nga pala, I need to have a copy of all my posts. hahahaha 

Safekeeping kuno. Para makasigurado lang. Mahirap din magsulat na wala man ako copy.


I won't mind the numbers or stats or whatever..

Just keep writing.

Moving forward.

How's being Single on Valentine's Day?

Fine. 

I'm fine that I won't need to rush buying flowers and then have a date with special someone in this very hectic day of love.

Everybody seems to be in a hurry with a smile in their face.

Longing to give not only such gift, but such love that lasts forever. 

I'm fine despite missing that day when I make a day in a month to have valentine's day. Of course, valentine's day is special but a monthsary is like the same. Give a gift to that special girl to feel that a month is like years that you've been together and loving amidst all odds and difficulties. I miss those days... 

I kinda made this day special now, by eating something sweet. Start off with my favorite salted caramel in Mcdonald's at lunch. After my tiring shift, I went straight to the terminal and while waiting I sip some cool coffee shake. Sweet indeed. 

Kinda liked when the FX arrived. At my left very tall and slender woman, around younger than me, very pretty. At the passenger's seat front, also another beautiful woman, reading some think book about money and investing, kinda like this one because the other has some make up, this one.. Less make up and beautiful. 

I kinda sigh well, thinking they have also dates around this day.

I went home and go straight to studying than well, roaming in a mall or other places which I know has traffic jams left and right. Avoid going to restaurants, bars, or even parks, all couples just want to have a special time in a special place. 

For me, this day not special. But I won't be sad or bothered. 

Still waiting and longing that one day, this time will be special because now I have someone to prepare a date or even prepare a meal to cook for. Or set a date in a different place, in a great sunset or under a moonlight.. Those kinda romantic scenes.

I know missing won't do anything but let's say I'm quite reminiscing those days. 

I won't push myself making that happen soon or tomorrow, but just be inspired every single day passed. 
Whatever happens that my status won't changed for some time whether single or getting married.. 
I should really never lose that feeling..

Feeling of not being alone in this ironic life.

Better yet, I should start seeing somebody and set a date.

No need to wait for valentine's day.

That way, hmmmm I'll change my answer to that question perhaps.

crushes: Saoirse Ronan

I always see her name in british films, not a lot but for the big ones. Namely the first I saw was Atonement. Despite that film's well depressing and slow mood, and you have 2 beautiful looking lead stars, I kinda focused to her. 

Until now, I don't know how to really pronounce her name, Saoirse? I looked at wiki and her name says it means freedom, and she pronounce it as Irish Sir-sha.. Huh? 

I don't care. =) I kinda followed her in other films, notably Hanna. Despite a very thin figure at that film due to her stunts, running and fighting.. Include of course, that her role in the film to be deadly, she still delivered that innocent teenager image. She stand out in that film besides Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett. I was focused of course, in her angelic face, immaculate complexion, and one of the most beautiful blue eyes I saw in an actress.. Ever.. Wow, that made me like get more films that has her on it. 

Although not complete yet, I already have byzantium, the host, How I live Now, Violet and Daisy then I should get The Lovely Bones,  and even critically panned The host! 

What is the great thing about her, despite her great looks, her acting shows first in the film then her looks leaves you a stamp in your mind that I should follow her. hahaha Her acting so versitile, that you can agree with her role like in Violet and Daisy. She is a teenager assasin despite the film's kinda lack of action, when her scenes come out, I do understand her role as a struggling teenager enjoying her teenage life at the same time, need to do her work as a killer. She's speaking american accent at the same time. Wow from thick Irish accent, then switching to american accent, that's very difficult. 

Despite almost perfect actress she is now, I just want her to improve in two things. I know she is just 19 but I hope she will look more built. I mean I don't like seeing her end up like Keira that very thin that you might end up thinking she is sick. I don't want her end up like that, as her most films suggest. So I hope she'll bulk not a lot, but just right. Another one, get more films that have a light tone, not the Host. hehe But comedy, or light story well there is one, The Grand Budapest Hotel. I hope she'll do more of it and it will help her not only financially, maybe artistically, Rom-Com will be good for her. One example, hmmmm About time, Rachel Mcadams is such a miscast there, Saoirse should be the one there to make the good movie into a great one. 

Well, with all this features she has and great thing almost no intrigues about her life, she will become one of the best actress in years to come. I am fond of few british actresses, and she is one that I really love. 
Until now, hmmm how can I call her? Or shout her name? 

It sounds like a panda or a bear. =)

Not Showing: The Armstrong Lie

The only reason why everybody watches tour de France is one man, one cyclist who not only survived cancer but won the yellow jacket not once.. But seven times! Record shattering, history at it's best and made cycling well notable in the world of sports.

Unfortunately, all is a big lie..

How? How on earth in worldwide broadcast a cyclist can cheat in a very physcial and tight race? Made arrangements with other riders? Shortcuts in the race? Flying?! Or in a more scientifically way.. Steroids? Enhancers? Illegal PED? or simply dope?

This documentary was made by one of my favorite documentary directors, Alex Gibney.. Let me tell you, of all the documentaries he made, I've never felt him so angry in other films until this one was made. As much he is always show different sides of the story, this one is different.. He emphasis how Lance Armstrong cheated all his victories in tour de France in the most deceiving and practical way.

Well, the only thing I didn't like in this film or I hope it will improve that the topic did not focus only to Lance Armstrong, but well the whole race it self in tour de France. I mean I know it might be more boring but because almost all cyclist are caught doping then why just make a film about the race itself.

But what I like most here is how Alex really got frustrated and disappointed to Lance as he intended to make this documentary for the comeback journey of Lance on 2009 but it turns out as he follow the rider in his journey, he saw some glaring fraud, lies or deceit by interviewing former team mates, the doctor/trainer, or even the media being puzzled how the hell Lance won easily in this race.

 I love how Alex gave a brief background of the tour de France, which is interesting that before, why this race is the hardest, how the cyclist survive, and other factors such as how they bike fast without PED. I was laughing that before cyclist can only use one energy drink.. Liquor! 

The interviews done in this documentary were very heart wrenching because you can feel the angst they have to Lance. From former team mates, friends and even fans.. As much Lance claims he's doing all his best to win for cancer patients, he is just getting sympathy from the crowd, all of us to cheer for him. I love one scene which was as his team mate in front of the race on 2009, then the manager advising him to slow down to give way to Lance. What did his team mate did? He did not follow the manager and left Lance to dust! 

That team mate was caught doping as well. Landis, and other competitors in the race, were caught doping. I'm not sure with Wiggins but he's clean perhaps.

I forgot, the most loved part of this film, the editing.. I loved the editing made for this film, as you'll have that feel of you like Lance at the start, but as it goes along, mixing his first 2009 interview and the one which he admitted using illegal PED, going to his conviction at the end, the emotion was built from being liking the dude to very angry to Lance. I feel sorry for the fans of cycling, or others who built trust to him, like celebrities or Nike.. And the most affected victim of this lie, the foundation he built for cancer patients.. Livestrong? Live lie? Gotta be kidding me.. 

It's sad on how this success was built using lie after lie to another. It also shows how detailed doping was used in this sport. I mean because of this, other sports surfaced using this kind of cheat like baseball, MMA and other sports. It became a standard now for sports to have anti doping test. 

Well, now I believe that Lance Armstrong should be not only banned from any sport but also not recognized or even remove his name from history for such a shameful act. I was furious at that tweet he did still showing the 7 yellow shirts he won. Defiant he is.. What a c*nt. 

Anyway, great documentary again from Alex and I hope his anger will go down as this documentary serves right to discredit...

An empathic liar.

unplanned 54

A lot of cramming I suppose. hehe Grabe, dami kong backlog in all facets in my life pero ok lang. This month will start for being serious. Tapos na yun ibang gagawin and time to focus yun mga kailangan kong gawin for me. Sound selfish but well, I need to.

Bad trip ang panahon nung January at idagdag pa ang crappy internet connection leading me na nadelay ang post sa blogsites ko. But good thing, bumalik ang mainit na panahon at medyo may connection na sa internet.

Umay na din ako sa balitang Vhong Navarro. For the past weeks, it's pathetic that this simple case of a dude who just want to have a good time ended up beaten and caught national attention. At ang lesson na sinabi niya, be faithful. What I understand, just don't get tubero sa BGC. hehe At magingat sa pagdala ng food sa condo. Geez.. Enough please.

Sad to hear na si Tado eh sumakabilang buhay na. At mas nakakalungkot nangyari eh sa bus na not exactly sinakyan namin dati papuntang Sagada but yun na, nadali siya. 

Kawawa naman, well, I hope it won't affect other tourist to go there o kahit ako pero sayang si Tado. Sa strangebrew days pa naman, siya yun driving force sa patawa talaga o kahit san siya magpakita, ayos siya lalo na sa radio show nilang brewrats. 

Anyway, what else ah, ayun matatalo na bukas ang Gaynebra este Ginebra. hahaha Scripted daw eh, so kailangang mag game 7 tapos talo din pala sila. Malaki problema ng Ginebra, kahit magfinals sila, grabe pagod sila, naghahabol sila at parang mas nawala yun chemistry nila nung nagplayoffs.. Tsk Tsk Tsk, bad omen. Ang kalaban lang naman nila sa finals eh yun team na isang beses natalo sa playoffs, 12 other games, panalo.. ROS! hehe Yun Alaska ko, next conference sila umayos!

Sa darating na NBA all star weekend, wag na magtaka o isipin sira ang graphics ng TV kung makikita na parang lahat ng events may isang pangalan ang nangingibabaw. Damian Lilliard. hehe Kakatuwa, marketing style daw nila yun para makilala siya. Sabagay, last year grabe na ginawa niya, kaunti pa din nakakilala sa kanya, kahit this year ha. Sabagay, may talent nga talaga yun player.. Nagulat lang ako pati Dunk Contest eh kasama siya. Anyway, give Kudos to that dude!

Actually this month, medyo mahihirapan ako magsulat. Naubusan na naman ako ng topic. Geez, I'm thinking what to write.

No, not love again?!

This shows a lot catching up to do.

Even in love. =)

Napulot!

Habang pumipila kami ni Igz sa KFC, kung buenas nga naman, nakakita ako ng 20 pesos! At least yun chicken fillet meal 30 pesos lang. hahaha 

I thought I'm not lucky but sometimes, especially may mga ganitong pagkakataon, eh I feel lucky. 

With a knack of details at medyo curious sa paligid, kahit simpleng lingon or tingin sa baba eh minsan nakakabuenas. Sa jeep, marami na ko nakuhang kahit 25cents, hanggang piso.. At minsan, nakabuenas ako na di ko alam kung ano ginawa pero nakapulot ako ng celphone! Kahit D88 lang yun na myphone, eh pwede na. 800 that time, libre! hahaha Walang charger pero madali lang kumuha ng charger, battery ok pa tapos may libre pang sim na tinapon ko agad. 

I was able to use it sometime pero di matagal sa dami ng cellphone ko dati. hehe In the end, nagloko na din kasi di nag-on na. Di na ginamit na matagal. 

MInsan payong, or dati sa shop naiwan na gamit ng mga  customer pero di na binalikan! hehe Tapos iba pa.. Pero minsan ako din nakakaiwan ng gamit, usually payong sa bahay ng mga friends ko. Kalat kasi nagsuka! hahaha Tapos ilan gamit, pero di naman mamahalin. Kaya parang kwits lang.

However, one Sunday, habang papunta sa PICC na sakay ng FX.. Bumaba isang pasahero tapos pagtingin ko sa baba, may nakarolyo na headset.. Sumigaw ako kung sa kanya daw, sabi niya hindi. Aba ayos! Naghahanap ako ng isa pang headset, just for backup kasi malamang this year may bibigay na isa sa mga headset ko. 

It looks like parang di maganda ang tunog, loops style kasi na ayoko, walang label at sabi ko parang di din tatagal to.. Kaso after putting in ear pads at checking it, aba eto yun pinakamalakas na headset na nakuha ko! Mas malakas sa Pioneer na nabili ko and Ministry of Sound, sobrang lakas, half lang ng volume sa phone gamit ko. Pag tinodo baka bingi na ko. hahaha Clear, rich bass, grabe.. Sobrang buenas at sulit! Kahit bilin ko ito, malamang sulit na din. Panget lang, until now, di ko pa din mahanap ang pangalan! Anyway, I don't care, sobrang sulit. 

Well, very grateful ako sa mga napupulot ko, whether maliit, mura, mahal or tingin ko walang kwenta, kunin pa din! 

Wala siya value today, baka along the road, it has the value the most!

I thought that God just leave some things that reminds what you need it most. Metaphorically..

All you need to do is pick it up and grateful for it. =)

Gaya na lang nung headset, I can't still believe I'm hearing it great. Damn great..

Kaya ako, mabuti yun naglalakad ka lang kasi sa daan.. 

Baka makapulot ulit!
