Aqua
2:12 AM | Author: Encore
Few day's back we went to Cartimar and bought some marine fish. We decided to build again our 5 gallons aqua, still has basic part - overhead pump, the aqua itself, some filters, foams and dead corals. So we didn't spend much for the setup. 60 php salt water good for 5 gallons -as in water talaga and not the solution. I'm bit hesitant to buy solutions since it requires calculation using Hydrometer and I don't have that equipment. We asked manong and helped us, he said "Bili muna kayo ng trial fish..." Okey! trial fish kawawa naman sila. We got 4 pairs of Clown fish some damsels.

Fast forward!

The setup looks good but the water is a bit blury. Overhead pump is not enough to clear the water so I bought a foam corner filter as a seconday filter. Yan, water is clear na but the problem is the fish naman. They seems to be stress for some reason and everyday we're loosing one. Just I expected, setting up marine aqua is not easy compare to fresh water setup. I did some experiement myself, I know that salt water setup should use salt water solution, I used the regular salt instead. I chose Fidel Iodized Salt because it has less impurities and chemicals. I added my home-made solution and luckily fishes seems to like it. They are not stress so far. We added some fish pa. Hopefully maging ok na sila.

My First Computer
1:26 AM | Author: Encore
My first computer! Imagine I bought this for 23,000 back in 1997. Regalo ni Erpat. Here are the spec's:
Pentium 233 with MMX Technology.
Redfox Mobo with AGP support
4GB Seagate HDD
64MB SDRam - has slot also for EDO modules
Ino-riva 32MB AGP card
60X Teac CDrom
32bit Sound card
14 inch CRT monitor
Keyboard and Mouse
Gaming PC na yan nung mga panahong yuon. I was able to play CS, Beachhead, Quake and Doom. Kaya din nya ang mga applications like Adobe and Dreamweiver. Naalala ko pa nga nakagawa ako ng first ever website ko using this PC. Itsura nito yung mga bulky type na system, yung casing nga pwedeng gawing pantapal sa yero sa sobrang kapal. Naging useful naman at nagamit ko up until mag college ako, ginawa naming test system since ang Thesis that time is all about Robotics and Interface. Luckily, hindi sya nasira not unlike the PC of my other classmates. Puro sunog ang Printer Port since yun ang ginagamit namin interface and take note P3 units pa ang mga yun. I'am glad na niregalo ni Erpat sa akin, malaking tulong. Na open ako sa mga application and hardware and this PC helped me to decide kung anong kurso ang kukunin ko.

Curly Hair
10:17 PM | Author: Encore
When was the last time you comb your hair? Me, I think 8 years ago. I decided to shaved my hair when was in college.

Flashback!

My hair is curly. The "Kempee-cut" that time was so popular, I asked my cousin to stretched my hair. We bought this straightening product from Wella. It is placed in a nice pink cup. There are no salon's that time who offer hair rebond because rebonding wasn't even discovered, we do it manually. This is how:

1. Mix Wella solution with 1 sachet of Creamsilk conditoner.

2. Shampoo first your hair. Rinse it but leave it wet.

3. Put a rolled "good morning towel" on your forehead down to your shoulder. You know why? because based on the "haka-haka or saying", once a drop of solution entered your eye, you'll get blind. That's according to "celebrity". He/She is a local barberista/salonista in our place, I wonder where He/She's now. He's a Gay by the way.

4. Using a comb, put a little amout of made solution on your hair then spread it evenly. Comb your hair repeatedly until the hair become straight.

5. Wait for 15 minutes then rinse your hair well.

The effect usually last for a week so you need to repeat the steps over and over again if you want it semi permanent.


First - try to do a scan. If the infection is already on the system. Try not to use your existing AV, use online scanner. Please boot to safemode with networking first before running any scan because on this mode all the running 3rd party application is temporarily stopped. Virus/Spyware/Malicious code usually attached themself to some running process that it why they cannot be deleted easly. Do a restart to check.

Here are some useful links.

Windows Live Onecare Safety Scanner - http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm - will only work in IE because it requires to run Active X control!
ESET - http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/
Trend Micro - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Panda - http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan/index/

If the issue still persist,proceed to the next step:

You can do System Restore to undo changes that was been made on the computer. You can do this by clicking on start/all programs/accessories/system tools/system restore. Then select restore my computer to an ealier time, click on next then you will see a calendar. Select restore point available to use, make sure that you will use a date that you think your computer is working okey and you are not experiencing Virus/Spyware infections. Then let the system do the restore. Check once it done.

If the issue still persist,proceed to the next step:

1. Cleanboot the system - stop all the startup first the do a restart. You can do this by start/run/msconfig/startup tab/disable all/apply and okey.
2. Clean BHO on Registry (Works only for Spyware infections). You can do this by start/run/regedit/click the + sign on hkey_loca_machine (do the same thing on the rest of the drop down folders)/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/explorer/browser helper objects. If you see inputs under browser helper object -like forder's named in form of number and letters remove them all. Then close Registry afterwards.
3. Clean your prefetch, temp, %temp%. You can do this by start/run/type each command (prefetch...)/then once the folder opens, delete all the files and folder's there.
4. Reset IE settings to default. (Works only for Spyware infections). You can do this by control panel/internet options/advance tab/reset/apply and okey
5. Check for unwanted files on system32. Be sure to show all the hidden files first. You can do this by going tool/folder options/. Then once you're on the system32 (c:/windows/system32). Arrange the files into details, (click on view/details). Then click on date modified and set it into the recent one. Look for suspeciouse files, if you are not sure then google it. Hint: you will know if it is a valid program or file if it has a manufacturer signature on it. You can see this by right clicking the file/properties.
6. If you want to see and delete suspecious process. Download and run Process Explorer to end all malware related process.Go to http://live.sysinternals.com and click procexp.exe. Run the tool to view resources and running process.
7. Download and run AutoRuns. Go to http://live.sysinternals.com and click autoruns.exe. Check system32 then delete OR rename malware related files.
8. Restart computer to verify solution

MRT will go 24/7
3:04 AM | Author: Encore
It's true, MRT will go 24/7. We've heard that from the news yesterday. Tamang tama! because Tin will be working in Eastwood, Libis from now on. This will be a big help, especially during traffic and GY hours. They said that the interval will be 30 mins, hmm! Pwede na, kahit pa nga 2x ang pay ok lang. We really hope that this will be permanent as MRT official stated that they will be doing some test or round first to know if the revenue during the night can shoulder the MRT maintenance cost. Let's keep our finger crossed. I'm pretty sure that many CC workers and others who's working at night will benefit from this.
Yesterday
11:11 PM | Author: Encore
Oh! well, got the recordings already. Heard my voice and the log's was good. System tracker didn't catches me, thank God! I was relieved. The thing the other day almost kill me. I should take some vit for my brain, e! Moving on...
Got a approved flex yesterday, so I went home early. 1200 sent by Mom thru Western Union was a big help. We almost run out of food, ehe! I got some Lotto tickets for 6/45 draw, hmm! Who know's right? maybe next day I won't need to take stupid calls. Mommy and I went to MCS to have the DVD changed. Waltermart to get some drinks and found some interesting things/scene there...

The Tiangge's are selling Casio Frogman watch replica edtion for 450 php, I got mine for 200 php.
We ate out early dinner, ehe! at Kabayan Pares, located along Don Chino Roces Ave., Makati City, Makati City, PH. 2 pares with rice @ 75 php, hmm! While we are eating....

Pinay: hey! what are you doing here?
Kano: i'm going to eat.
Pinay: Eat? Pares... are you sure?
Kano: Yeah, why not?

Why not nga naman diba? It Looks like the "Kano" fell in love with Pares. He's got an iphone and a nice car, cool e! Not only that, to tell you a short story - some artista usually eat's there, China Cojuangco is one of them. That's according to Kabayan =)
On our way home, the driver and his so called gf are having their intimate moment in the driver seat. Ayus nga naman, instead of going out why not ride nalang. Kumikita pa si driver at the same time date narin. Red lights plus R&B sound, san ka pa?! Para ka lang nasa Sogo!
We watched Inkheart, pretty nice movie. Eagle Eye disc did not play again, it must have been configured with regional settings.

I made another stupid mistake yesterday. Kung bakit kasi, my braincells are not working, I ended up pressing line 2. Now, someone told me that tracker was placed somewhere. You'll be kick-out once you get caught. Shit talaga! Wag naman po sana...
The connection was reset
2:09 AM | Author: Encore
Ready to go all the way, pretend that it was all over, ignore the emotions, ready to accept the facts, admit things, start believing what's really happening, give up, forget... I was about to pull out the plug then all of a sudden, the connection was reset. Thank God.
Coffee Init!
12:16 AM | Author: Encore
Last night my shift ended 10PM, lakas ng ulan sa labas so I decided to go to the pantry to ger some coffee. My company was good enough to treat employees with Country Style Coffee. Well, normal naman sa CC company to have free drinks. Natutuwa lang ako kasi its not Nescafe or Cape Puro brand. It is placed in a nice coffee cup, parang galing ka talaga sa coffe shop.

Moving on, malakas parin ang rain so I decided to go home na. Sabak kung sabak before I left there nag take home ako ng 1 cup of coffee. Mainit sya. So as I walked with my jacket and hood, lalung lumakas ang rain. Luckily, may mga jeep pa sa terminal so I didn't had a hard time riding jeep. Before kasi, pag malakas na ang ulan pati mga jeep's and taxi's nawawala.

Fast forward, siksikan sa jeep kasi sampuan daw pero the truth is syaman lang. Ung isang ale nga nalalaglag na pro hindi gumana ang pagka gentleman ko so I just ignored her, may dala din kasi akong mainit na kape.

Gumana na ang jeep, I thought okey na ang lahat then suddenly,

Blag! Blag! Blag! dumaan sa may lubak si Manong Driver, alternate route daw because the main road was closed due to flood. Umuuga ang jeep which actually normal naman because the road is malubak but what bothers me that time is my coffee. May butas kasi ung cup, (hole so you can sip coffee directly there.) Kaso ang nangyari naaalog ang cup na dala ko because of the lubak's. Coffee spilled sa kamay ko, I felt burning sensation, coffee is really hot. I want to ignore it kaso the coffee is just too hot, I can't ignore it even for a minute.

Damn it! siguro nakalahati yung kape, imagine super hot coffee then unti unti pinapatakan yung kamay mo. Ouch! its like torturing your self using a candle stick. Since, I can't resist na the heat what I did was I used my jacket. Portioned of it, like ung sa may laylayan ng jacket sa wrist area (medyo makapal kasi yun because of some tahi's). I used that to cover the hole sa may coffee cup but after minutes of relief, the heat starts again. Nabasa na kasi yung laylayan ng jacket so I felt the hot coffee na naman. Gee! Parang yung commercial ng Ice Tea, Be Burning Hot!

Naisip ko ring itapon nalang yun, kaso may mga kasakay ako who works sa same company. Baka akalain nila I'm wasting company's resources ehehe! Isa pa, sayang so tiniis ko nalang. Pagbaba ko ng jeep, yung jacket ko amoy kape. Well, may natira pa naman, half ng coffee sa coffee cup which I enjoyed drinking.
Mechatore
4:27 AM | Author: Encore

Mechatore - short for "mechanical store" I think???, ehe!
Anyway, have you seen this on some of the amusement park near you?
The thing is, you'll have to buy a token (Php6.00) to play it.
Here how:
Step 1: Ihulog ag token sa coin slot
Step2: Pindutin ang Button 1 para maigalaw ang mechanical arm. Aim sa target then
Step 3: Pindutin ang Button 2 to release.
Simple lang diba kung tutuusin, pro actually mahirap sya.
Mechatore come's in different design and prize given. Meron stuff toys, meron ding token and of course chocolates and candies.
I went to SM with Tin to renew her NBI clearance, while waiting for her I decided to go in a amusement park located just in front
of the NBI renewal center.
Dapat maglalaro ako, pro since they dont have Capcom VS. Street Fighter I didn't play nalang. I watched some awesome players who obviously "nagmamayabang" showing there skill dun sa Dance Revo. Then as I watched them I saw this Mechastore, lot of kids playing there so I decided to look. Habang nanunood ako, masaya ang mga kids, Yahoo! and Yehey! every candy na makuha nila from that machine. Actually, kung tutuusin lugi ka pa dun eh, there's this one kid na naka spent yata ng 10 tokens and he only got 2 mallows and some bubblegums. Ang mahal ng naman infareness, aha! Php6.00 X 10 Tokens = Php60.oo. Aww! imagine sa 60 pesos you can buy na some supot of candies and bubblegums of the same brand that he got. Sa mga gumawa nito, well laki ng tubo nyo ehe!
Pero sa ibang banda, ika nga "you can't buy happiness, excitement and joy" especially sa mga kids. That is why probably yung mga parents ng mga kids na nakita ko just let their kids play and enjoy even if they knew magagastusan sila ng malaki in exchanged for some candies and gums.
Masaya naman kasi ang mga kids eh, as a parents dati nung single ako hindi ko ma appreciate ang mga simple joys sa buhay. Now, that I am a parent kahit pop (lolipop) lang pabili ni Antares sa akin sa store binibili ko kasi pag hawak na nya yun, I see excitement in her eyes. Minsan nga "jump" pa sya at "tawa" habang binabalatan ko ang pop nya. Na appreciate ko tuloy ang mga small things na binibigay (ni Bro) everyday. I've learned to thank him for every small joys he has given to me. Lolipop nga lang ni Antares, masayang masaya na sya then ako pa. He gave me Tin, Ocan and Antay.
Kahit mahirap ang buhay, got a lot of failure recently basta nakikita ko sila ayus na!

My daughter Antay likes this "Happy Kaarawan" Selecta 3 in 1 +1 Commercial Ad with Vhong Navarro, everytime she hear's this song I could see her get excited, smiling, jumping and goes to look at the TV. She does this hand movements, imitate the steps being done by Vhong and the kids from the commercial. I really see she's enjoying this commercial ads so much. After the commercial, she'll say "Nana!" - short for "Wala na or Tapos Na!".

Problems? I don't know.
Are you depressed? Yes I am, this past few days I feel that something is wrong. I'm easily get irritated.
Why? I don't know. Maybe because sometimes it hurts knowing that things sometimes changed.
Are you scared? For what? my love ones, yes I am.
Why? I feel something I don't normally feel. I'm not excited anymore.
Any plans in mind? I'll let the wind blow.
Mistake
7:37 PM | Author: Encore
I don't see any good things that will happen this year,
that is why I'am closing my hopes, all the plans made
during the previous years are all gone. Clock is ticking,
ticking so fast that I can't even see the hand's moving.

It's all messed up, all the hope and dreams are broke
into pieces. Shit! I should have think twice or even
many times before making such decisions.

I feel empty now, another failed plans. Someone
told me that "I can't even made a good decision"; that
brings the hell out of me.

Where do I go from here? Again, I asked this to myself
many times. Scared? yeah I am, not for myself but
for my love ones. I thought this will be happy year for us.
Well, its just a stupid mistake!

It's so bad that I can't even concentrate, I managed

some work load.
Good thing is I can take all the med's coz if not
i'll be dead by now.

"Tatlo kaming magkakaibigan, vinieron o Vin-Nier-Ron kung tawagin ang grupo. Mula elementarya hanggang Highschool kami ang magkakasama. Magkakasama kaming umaakyat sa puno ng bayabas at sabay sabay nangangarap "yayaman din tayo!".

Dumating ang panahon ng biglang mag click ang business nina Nier, laking tuwa namin ng isang araw pagdalaw sa bahay namin may dala na sya na pangarap nyang Mountain Bike. Di ko maiwasang maiingit, pangarap kong magkaroon ng ganun. Nakuntento nalang ako sa pahiram hiram, magkakaibigan naman kasi. Nagtuloy tuloy pa ang pag angat nila, mula sa maliit na bahay nakalipat sila sa isang village malapit sa amin. Lalung lumago pa ang kanilang negosyo. Naging busy sa buhay kaya di na nakakasama sa amin.

Lumipas ang ilang buwan, dumating naman ang mama ni Vin galing Israel, ang akala ko simpleng dating lang hindi pala. Kumalat bigla ang isang balita na mayroong daw nanalo ng Lotto sa baryo namin, hindi ko naman yun inakala na ang Mama nya pala. Nanalo sya ng Lotto sa Israel kaya pagkakuha ng pera kaagad syang umuwi. Nang makita ko si Vhin, ibang iba na ang itsura nya. Pansin ko rin ang shirt na suot nya, yun yung shirt na binebenta sa 1028 tee store na gusto namin. Ang cool nga, uso pa ang tretorn shoes nun at di peke ang suot nya. Matagal bago nya sinabi sa akin ang totoo, hanggang lumipat sila sa exclusive subdivision sa may Angeles City.

Bigtime na ang dalawa, ang huling kita ko sa kanila may kanya kanya ng Auto. Bahay? posible. May mga pamilya narin kasi. Si Vin, dalawa na ang anak at si Nier hindi ko lang alam kung ilan.

Ako, ako nalang ang natitirang di pa natataihan ng kapalaran. Malamang intime, pro di ko naman din inaasahan. Pero para sa akin, hindi man perang papel o passbook sa magandang bangko ang meron ako binigyan naman ako ni Lord ng Tin-Tin, Antay at Ocan. Mayaman na din ako, kung tutuusin. Kuntento na ako, konting enhancement nalang kung baga tapos okey na.

We went to Abby's place yesterday to see some freelance writing sites.
I know that Mommy will love it, pangtanggal na rin ng stress coz
by some unfortunate incident sa previous office nya.
Kinulit kulit ko talaga sya para malaman lahat about the sites.

Hmm! I hope mabilhan ko sya ng bagong laptop that she really
wants. Hay! hanngang sana nalang muna si Daddy. Di bale,
malay mo makatisod ako ng envelop na may breads.
Un ang unang una ko bibilhin.
Para naman maging maganda just incase ituloy nya ang
work na yun.
I think Mommy got pretty excited about it.

I love you Mommy.
Mommy
7:40 PM | Author: Encore
I got a text from Mommy yesterday asking me if we can meet somewhere.
I texted back and confirmed. We went to Mr. Donuts and talked there.

I felt that Mommy's really disturbed about what happened back at their office.
As Mommy started saying something, tears begin to flow. I'm deeply saddened
about what I heard. Its an office issue, with her office mates. I know a little
about Mommy's office mate that is why I got shocked by what happened.

How I wish I can say or do something for her that time.
That is the first time, (I think) I saw Mommy like that. Mommy usually doesn't
mind other people business, being alone is no big deal for her.
That's why I know something goes wrong.

I let Mommy file her resignation. I don't wanna see Mommy like that. Mommy is not like
me who can deal with those kind of people. I don't mind being "bastos" and
I just don't sit and don't mind if someone talk about me behind
my back. If I heard something like that, I'm gonna kill them with my
words. Agent or not.

Mommy, I'm here all the way. Just talk to Mommy Em's so she'll know what
happened. Don't go w/out telling someone, hindi ka naman matatahimik.
I hope I did something, even just a little to make you feel better.
I love you.

After almost 2 weeks of off, dito na uli ako sa station ko.
I was surprised, alot of changes were made. Wala ng MBAM,
3rd party tools and TeamViewer. Grr! This will make TS alot

May bagong TS flow but I'm not familiar with it, wala pa kasi
akong proper training pro according to some tech's here parang
tanga lang daw ang tools.

So panibagong adjustment na naman. Hmm.
24/7
1:38 PM | Author: Encore
Tsk! Job Offer ako yesterday sa 27/7. After expecting, expecting and expecting about the good benefits and salary from this company, I got dissapointed. Hindi naman ganun na gaya ng ine expect ko, tumaas lang ng 2k from what I'm getting now. Pro sabi nya, kung tutuusin nga malaki na yun. Totoo naman, eto nga pinatos ko yun pa.

Pro ewan ko ba, ayaw ko sa company na to. Call me stupid kasi nagpunta ako then spent my precious time taking the exams and interviews then after nun, wala na. Sa totoo lang dapat maging masaya na ako sa offer na yun pro ewan ko, hindi ako natuwa.

1. Siguro dahil may ine expect ako o kaya ayaw ko.
2. Masyado yatang mabigat ang work na yun para sa ganung offer.
3. Madami nagsasabi na power trip ang mga trainor dun (ayaw na ayaw ko pa naman ng ganun, nagmumura ang isip ko!)
4. Panibagong officemate, policies and training na naman, not worthy yata para sa 2k tapos may tax pa. (I think!)
5. Hanggang ganun nalang ang offer.

Sa dinami dami ng sinabi ko dito, sigurado sasabihin mo. "Bakit mo tinake e ayaw mo pala, tanga!" Oo nga naman, bakit nga ba? Sagot ko, hindi ko din alam. Nagulo lang ang isip ko, buti sana di nalang ako nag punta dun.

1. Baka di ako hiyang sa account, ISP kasi. Nakahawak na din ako ng ganun, sa West kaya alam ko. Ayaw ko talaga. Baka mangyari na naman ung nagyari nung nasa Pitcairn ako, halos i drag ko sarili ko para pumasok.
2. Hindi na pwedeng ganun, may pamilya na ako. Di katulad dito, kahit minsan napapamura ako sa sweldo hindi ko naman naramdaman ang ganun. Kung wala lang mangyayaring di inaasahan, hindi ako liliban sa trabaho.
3. Marami pa...

Ang dami kong worries if lilipat ako, yung siguro isa sa mga dahilan. Ewan ko ba, ang gulo gulo ko kaya siguro naiinis sya sa akin paminsan. Hindi ko din naman ma explain, ayaw mag function ng bibig ko. Hayaan ko nalang ito, nagkayayaan lang naman magpunta dun. Iisipin ko nalang na walang nangyaring offer, kung magka leche man dito hindi ko isisisi sa sarili ko.

Three stars and a sun, in one sky, so high,
I live and die and die will I for my
Motherland this is the land of my birth,
No purse is worth the price of this earth
Can we rise, can we all, hell no!,
Or should we all just take the fall?

3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to
defend the 3 stars & a sun!

Ommision to a mission, transport for the brain,
Packed w/ stacks of tracks built for a train,
I eat lead, but I never let it be said,
"He said, she said," it makes me see red
'Cuz I don't take bullshit & I'm 'a pack it and push it,
And hit you w/ the full clip
Switch to mode lock-'n'-load in the land of Juan the

3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to
defend the 3 stars & a sun!

Bahay kubo kahit munti, may pula,
Bughaw, dilaw, atsaka puti
There is a need to sow the seed,
Toil the soil and plod until your hands bleed
'Cuz this land is sacred,
Many a battle have been fought with hatred
Don't tell me that you understand,
It's been 4 hundred years of tears
For the brown man,
Still and all the fight has just begun

3 stars & a sun!
3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to
defend the 3 stars & a sun!

Dear Mommy,

It was a roller coster ride again.
I though it was over, glad its not.
Sorry for doing the mess again, it was all a joke but
I know that it is foul and I don't have the rights to explain.
Everything that you've said gave me shakes,
it thought I'll gonna loose you.

I won a few but I've lost bigtime. Yun nga nagsugal ako, kagustuhan ko lang naman is to end it so I can start brand new.
Before I asked you to please tell me so I'll know, but you said that its for me to find out.

"I get tired of understanding why he's like that. I get bored in his company now, tired of hearing his senseless topics, tired of riding on to his interests that are far different from mine, tired even of watching his types of movies with him."

Okey! You got bored, then it confused me. Post dated March 2, prior to this date I think we're okey in someways.
We even had a dinner, e! I enjoyed every moment of it. I was happy, knowing that somehow... in my own way's, even without
you telling me things, I made you happy.

But after I read this, it freaks me out! Behind those smile, thing's that we've done then you still feel this pala. Pro siguro true nga that I can never make you happy even I try hard.

I know the thing that I need to do, no need to remind me. Its just that I sometimes asked myself, especially when I read your blogs if you still love me? or maybe you don't that's why you don't see and appreciate thing that I normally do.

Most of the time asked you if you love me. You simply says "Cguro, bakit?". Bakit? it's because I wanted to know, I want to know how you really feel. I want to know how to be the person you really wanted. I'm tired doing trial and error thing. I just simply want to be the "person you wanted".
FM
3:24 PM | Author: Encore
I wasn't given a chace to meet FM personally, actually I still have my casette tapes w/ me that he promised to sign. He replied once to me thru his multiply site saying "Sure! let's sign them". I got pretty excited then. I really wanted to watch EB with my wife and hopefully I'll meet him there. I was sudden by the news the other day that FM passed away.

I was shocked.I knew him thru his music, I was a fan. Since, the Yo! era my Tito's and I listened to his songs. Even my Nanay gave me a Yo! pendant back then, t'was cool! I still know the Mga Kababayan steps since we once performed that during our elem x'mas party. Highschool, was Kaleidoscope era. Everyone from our school sings it, I got a lyrics too at the back of my notebook. Girl Be Mine and Cold Summer Nights ,my all time fav. The way FM rap/sing and performed it just amazing. The colla w/ Parokya rocks! FMCC tee must have. Indeed, FM is a true legend. He's music and legacy will live on.

Walk

Finally, kahit papapano nakapag usap kami. Sa Boni High Street pa, sosyal ng konti. First, inaya ko lang sya maglakad but since walang pwede mapuntahan that day then we decided to go there nalang. Hmm, we saw celeb's like Mitch Valdez , Maxine M. (medyo mataba pala sya in person) and the other guy. May magandang aso din, sana meron kaming ganun.

At last, now ko lang nasabi yun, matagal ko na iniisip kung pano ba. I can't find the words, sa totoo lang. Pro siguro lumabas lang ng natural. Yun kasi ang nararamdaman ko, madaming tao nun salamat nalang sa mga mata ko, di sila naihi ng madami.

I also know how she feels, naiintindihan ko naman eh. I just can't let go. Kung kaya ko lang why not diba? Pro hanggat meron pa, kaya pa go lang. Pakiramdam ko, much better now. Kung baga sa Pekemon, nag e-evolve na ako. I know what she wants and what she want's me to do, pro sometimes may nami miss parin. Di yata kaya ng processor ng utak ko, P4 lang kasi. Sana sa mga ganung panahon, if I tend to forget something sya na muna bahala magpasensya. It will help din sana if she will tell me kung ano mga nakalimutan ko, siguro that'll work. Hindi naman din siguro mababawasan ang importansya ng mga ganun bagay.

After nun, We had a good dinner. Sisig na fave nya, Buko ni Fruta na fave ko and a bottle of ice tea. Hmm!
Again

Here we go again. As I promised her before, "I let her go when I can". Close to impossible, pro I really can't, I'm sorry.

We're been doing... yah, okey for awhile. Wish, please hurry and come to me.

Garbage for the Past

How many garbage yet to be discovered?
To be honest, I don't know. Sana I can
run a "clean up tool" to clean all the mess.
We're okey now, Yes!
but until when, how can I tell her that I love
her? This garbage from past really scares me.


You and I care's

"At the end of the day, the only person that really cares about you is you." Quote me on that, although I'm pretty sure you've heard that one before in some similar shape or form. But that's not the way it goes in my case, its the other way around.


Updates! Updates! Updates!

Updates! Updates! Updates!

I haven't heard anything yet, what the?!
Ako na yata ang pinaka-kawawang agent sa buong Pinas.
Who can help? ano na naman kasi ito, grr!
I hope I can skip 2009, probably 2010 has
something good to offer.

I'm losing the whole year.Autosave failed. So sick!
Wala ng nangyaring tama, it just January.

We got a meeting earlier w/ the higher op's informing us about what to expect this coming day's. Shit! account is off, no more 1care damn! Last call will be in March 15, everyone will be transferred to PCsafety but with few conditions. One is, it will be base on stack ranking, shit! Then, second one is Baleen points - lower points then less chances of winning, e! Tech premiums will no longer be a part of the salary if transferred to a non tech account, gee! So, where do I go from here? Wala ng nangyaring tama, it just January...

They said that If you were not lucky enough to be selected then you will be put under floating status and the company will try their best to get you an account, but for the meantime petiks muna but of course w/out pay. That's bad news for people like me who support someone.

Also in addition to that, they said if you have other opportunities outside then please be transparent, shit! what that's suppose to mean? Haa!

Again! Again, what's next for me?
10 Shit's Welcome's '09
4:05 AM | Author: Encore
Shit! Its '09 already and thing's not working out right fo me.

First, my schedule was changed (from mid shift to early morning shift 5AM), so I need to provide cert to retain it. Tang ina! -- Update: 2:42PM/Fri/1-2-09, WF said that permanent sched will be permanent. Cert will not be accepted anymore, shit!

Second, my tax status was changed from ME1 to Z (Z, for zero or non exemption), this sucks big time! I need to get that frickin form from my previous employer for them to change it.
Leche! I praying that the HR from my prev employer will provide me one or else I'm dead!

Third, according to them if I can't get that form then I need to go straight to BIR to see what they can do. "To see what they can do", Watdafuck!

Forth, I still don't know if I'll get a refund. I found out that they already implemented the 0 tax for min wage earner (15k below basic salary). People here are getting much because of 0 tax, 2 paydays already and mine as Z status, 3000k tax and that's bullshit! I haven't talk to comp and ben anyways, hope this shit will be fix in no time.

Fifth, today is thursday and still holiday (for HR/Gov people) and I don't have way to contact them not until they comes back. Grr!

Sixth, my stat was wrecked! Thank you for you wonderful survey, stupid customers!

Seventh, I'm still feeling a little inggit to my fellow mates who made some mark to their careers. Sabi nga ni Wifey, "Wala ka atang swerte sa ganyan" and that's scares me more.

Eight, where in Tipid Mode na naman this coming day's. I was not able to give something special yet to my wifey and kids because of this fuckin CRISIS landed me.

Nineth, next pay out will be big. Yes! its big because of some holidays.. atleast for them but not for me. I've got an email from comp and ben courtesy of my TC dated not so long ago that they'll only change my status if I will provide them the form. So next payday will not good enough again for ME! 9k normal pay and I'm getting half, Z tax stat at 3000k what more to expect. "Para ka lang nagtatrabaho para sa BIR ah" sabi ng office mate ko.

Tenth, I'm so sick. I don't wanna go to work anymore.
New Computer
3:43 AM | Author: Encore
Gie gave Nanay 23k to build a computer for Cha. At first, they wanted to buy one woth 22k unit only kaso when I checked the spec, I got dissapointed. So, I asked Nanay to give me the money and I will build one for them. I'm not a newbie when it comes to computer so I know the spec's. Cha, wants to have a 3-1 printer too so she asked me if I can buy her one. Here's it goes.

Intel Dual Core, 2.22 GHZ
ECS Mobo (Dual Core and Core 2 Quad ready). This mobo is great for upgrade, limited budget so I settled for dual core only since Cha wanted to have a printer. Maybe next year if there's a budget for Core 2 Quad.
2 Gig Kingston memory
512MB PCI-e ATI Radeon X1650 Graphics card w/ 1GB HT Memory. Great for gaming.
80 Gig WD Sata Hard disk
Samsung 20X COMBO drive
19 Inch wide Angel LCD monitor
Branded casing with 500 watts PSU and card reader
Win Vista Ultimate black edition 64bit OS / MS Office 2007
Decent optical mouse, keyboard and a 1.3 Megapix webcam
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price Total = 19,500.
The remaining will be spent in buying printer or probably application for DSL connections. Atleast I save them more. I tried to run Farcry2 using this machine and it run well though sometimes I experienced some logs when playing at maximum resolution. Lowering resolution solves the issue. Aero run's well too. Using multiple program is a breeze. =)
