Feeling a bit busy these days? a little bit boring i guess? well i think i got something which will somehow (i hope) get you relaxed =) It's a game i've seen while I was browsing the net, it's a little simple really but i think it's enough to keep you occupied (playing) for a few minutes =).
In this game (it's flash based by the way) you just have to dodge all the red items moving up and down left and right and pick up all the black boxes. (I won't go into the details of all the rules, you can read em there =P) it's a little bit addicting really, trying to beat the last score you achieved.
Ok I won't delay you now, go on and try to play the game. Let's try you beat my score (got a low score i think =P) i'll post it below
P.S. I think the best way to gain more score is to try to stay in the middle and get only the squares you could get while dodging the red items. Don't try to get all black squares since you'll probably bump into a red one doing that... just an advice really =)

fastest jeepney ever
Friday, again I went home late, and since it was late there were no FX.. even if there was i've felt i'd like to save a few bucks on transportation (i'm over spending on squidballs =P). I was expecting a long journey home, hot, alone, and a busy day... but i guessed wrong.....
I immediately jump on the first jeep going home (checked destination first of course =P), paid the fee, closed my eyes and started moving to sleeping position (as if there was any =P) after a few minutes the jeep went fast.... in fact really fast (this is not a medicine advertisement =P) my butt was sliding towards the guy beside me .. so i had to tighten my grip to prevent from further sliding.
The jeep started turning left... no it was turning right... no no, i think it was going everywhere... everywhere an opening presented itself the jeepneey almost immediately went through. I think it was the first time a car didn't stop moving this long long road.... (well of course it stopped to pick up additonal passengers =P)
It turned out to be a short ride home, exciting as i see how the jeep dodged every other car it passed through (without crashing on them of course), the wind was hitting my face and my travel time most probably cut in half (or maybe i'm just exaggerating =P).

A broken promise.... sorry
Sorry, that's probably the least I can do... (well of course not break it again =P) i've went to a place i've promised i won't go to unless really necessary. Well it was really necessary... there was no other way... no transportation that won't pass through there that day. (hope my alibi persuaded you =P)
Why was I forbidden (or prohibited?? anyways =P) from going to this place (by my big sis =) )? It's probably due to all the views concerning this place (dunno if they are true though =P ). The place has been known for people walking in skimpy outfits, dark streets, which some say is dangerous to walk in especially at night, pirated cds galore (mostly pornographic i think =P ) and other things ....
Anyways, this place has improved a lot recently, the place is now well lighted, a lot of people stay here making the place a lot comfortable to be in, small shops sprouted here and there..... and it is cleaner overall. =) I did not stay long here, knowing i was in a violation of a promise =P i moved off the street at the first available exit and went directly home =)

No to forwarded chain messages =)
Have you ever been forced to send an email just because you were forced to?? none?? oh come on... you gotta be kiddin me. =P well for me i have got to admit.. if my inbox has 20 new messages.... 18 of them are chain letters... and they are clogging my inbox, wasting my time, and... i dunno what to say =)
Well for me there are a few kinds of chain letters, i'll be enumerating them below =)
Oh well, I guess that about sums up my opinion =P but before i close my post today. Ive included a nice, cool site. and don't forget to forward the site =P jks ! (it's real funny you might want to consider =P) ciao !
Well for me there are a few kinds of chain letters, i'll be enumerating them below =)
Help the poor guy chain letters
These are those despicable chain letters playing with everyone's feelings...emotiongs.. they say all those touching stories just to send all those chain letters to your friends. Sample include, if you send this email the boy something something will receive money from someone someone =P (dunno what to say)
Earn money chain letters
The chain letter for all those business minded people out there... but wait, you are making a fool of yourself sending all those crap where you'll be paid a few cents for every email sent. Yes, every email you sent cannot be possibly monitored... even if it can be... wake up... there's no such thing as easy money these days... =P (if there is... please tell me about it =P)
Funny chain letters
Now I have to admit of all those chain letters, this kind is the one which i like the most (well... yeah at least it makes me laugh.. =P) Thing is sometimes these chain letters have been forwarded so many times you won't be laughing when you pass through all those "forwarded message attached" text =P
You are doomed chain letters
This is practically the most disgusting chain letter of them all. You are forced to send an email because.. you might die... you'll have bad luck... you'll lose money... with all those disgusting pictures attached.. yuck!!. These are offensive letters which in my opinion should not be forwarded.. who would want to sent bad luck to your friends anyways ??!? (or maybe you were sending em to your enemy?? =P not a bad idea ! =P)
I'm misleading you chain letters
These are all those incorrect chain letters.. teaching everyone to be stupid... they have all those information which when looked up on the net turns out to be a bunch of crap... anyways.. always remember before forwarding an email be sure it has correct information. (i once got an email from a friend... showing me all the facts about an email i sent =P embarassing... do your research =P
Oh well, I guess that about sums up my opinion =P but before i close my post today. Ive included a nice, cool site. and don't forget to forward the site =P jks ! (it's real funny you might want to consider =P) ciao !

Today is Dennis's birthday
One of the big guys i know... (someone bigger than i am =P) He was not always that big, in fact, i was a lot taller than he is when we were younger... well maybe time really does change a lot of things =) One of my best buddies, also my neighbor (he lives a few blocks from our home. Is a tall guy (just mentioned that), intelligent (think so... hehe jks =P)and a nice person.
Have known this guy for quite a while now, has been my friend since high school, been a friend during those boy scout days. He was also the one bringing me to all those chinese chess competitions (care to have a rematch??), study tours in taiwan and beijing =) (I so very want to go back to Beijing =P). He is currently working at globe in Robinson's place, so if any one of you guys want that new Nokia or Sony Ericsson .. give him a call maybe a discount awaits =P Anyways, just wanted to greet you Happy Birthday and may you have many other birthdays to come. Wish you success in your future endeavors and May God Bless you !

Magic ?
While browsing through the net i've found this interesting title "magic" (was browsing friendster bulletin). The article was about a certain equation when you supply your birthday into the equation.. it will return your birthday. =) Being such a curious guy i've delve in to see where the secret/trick lies.... (don't believe this is magic... too simple i think =P)
First let me post the message below (precedence of signs does not apply here).
Complicated eh?? =P To make things simpler i've replaced the words in the article to change it into a simpler equation =) (Now that looks much better =P )see below:
So after looking at the equation for a few minutes... (yes minutes only =P i'm that intelligent.. =P) something caught my eye. see highlighted text below
Month of BDAY * 4 + 13 * 25 - 200 +
Day of BDAY * 2 - 40 * 50 +
Year of BDAY - 10500
Looking at the highlighted text it is obvious that these 4 numbers create the whole equation as 4 * 25 = 100 and 2 * 50 = 100. Removing all the "annoying numbers" we get:
Now where did the annoying numbers went to you ask?? by supplying 0 to birthdate we get:
Therefore those numbers were present, just there to make a simple equation look complicated =)
Thus problem solved =) it was no magic after all =P, ya ain't gonna trick this genius with those easy trick questions =P hehe jks !
First let me post the message below (precedence of signs does not apply here).
Take the number of the month you were born, x 4 + 13 x 25 - 200 +
the day you were born, x 2 - 40 x 50 + last 2 digits of
the year you were born - 10500. Notice anything? Try it
out...

My first bowling experience
Team building day wahooo. Everybody came in early to get ready for the team building. We choose to play bowling somewhere near our office with dinner at Max's fried chicken. Yummy, we had a chicken (of course max chicken what do you want to eat???), some noodles, lumpia shanghai, kare kare, Sinangag and caramel bar. Yummy yummy yummy!
After dinner, we went straight to Coronado lanes to play bowling =). It was my first time, and first thing we did was to rent bowling shoes... fortunately they had the biggest shoes i have ever seen, i took a size 12 and it fit perfectly (giants feet?? =P) one thing i liked about the shoes were you could open them up wide (my feet is wide =P)
Putting on the shoes was easy (what's that smell?? ,my own feet =P) and next was picking up the right bowling ball. There was not really that much balls to choose from... not there was a lot, and i mean a lot of ball sizes but i went straight to get a 10++ ball.... anything lower just won't fit in my fingers =P
And so after picking a heavy.. real heavy ball, i took my luck on the the bowling lane.. threw the ball and oh well beginner's luck just does not apply.. i threw the ball with a giant thud on the wooden lane (as in THUDDD!!!) and it slide slowly onto the gutter to give me a promising score of 0 =P (ready for children's league =P).
Fortunately with every try i made small improvements, even managed to make a few spare at the latter end of the team building =). oh well i just remembered we won in the last game... (the group were seperated into two) they were bettin on the food for friday's lunch.. maybe it was a joke.. maybe a trick.. but i won and that keeps me in a safe position.. no pressure no nothing =P (I had to win, i am such a cheapstake jks =P)
Well i can say i went home tired.. real tired.. my fingers can't even hold a pen properly.... (guess that's what happen when you try to throw the heaviest balls =P) It was a fun experience... and i smell food jks !

Return of the Momy & Popy dears
And yes, today my Mommy and Poppy dears will be coming back from their vacation (an exile from all the troubles eh? don't think so, vacation is not a word you'll find in my parent's dictionary =P ). A business trip then? nah... a business trip is to formal a word perhaps. They went on a trip, and that's it =P. no other questions asked ok? =P
Tuesday night, they were supposed to be back on 9:00 PM. Hey guess what, their plane was delayed till 12PM.. yes they arrived midnight... but before we get there that delay really caused me a ruckus of problems. and i'll be narrating that now.
10PM I disembarked (hehe dunno which word to use =P) on my voyage to fetch my parents, it was not a planned thing, because of the delay the driver had to go home 9:00 PM (he won't report in tommorrow if he goes home late =( ) and so I had to drive.
First problem occured just a few seconds after starting our car... clutch was a mess, you had to pump the clutch or else it won't work. I had to drive to the airport constantly kicking the clutch (yeah kicking, actually like pumping water out of a well =P)
Afraid i won't be able to switch gears i tried to take routes which required less stops this led to my second problem. I took diosdado macapagal highway, sure the drive was easy it took me less than 30 minutes to get to the end of roxas boulevard...(i was running at around 300mph??? hehehe jks am gonna get unfortunately i took a wrong turn and i was soon on my way to the provinces =(... Now I had to pass a toll gate, paid 30 bucks and went straight back on my way to the airport.
Fortunately, no problems happened when i fetched my parents and we were able to get home safely (got used to pumping water now... anyone need help with that deep well?? hehe =P) Got home at around 1:00 am and went straight to bed =P (too tired) =)

being a lazy bum =)
today is the day i try to be a lazy bum.. =) woke up 6 am in the mornin' and went back to bed.. getting up at around 10 am. Stayed in bed for a little bit longer and got up just to get something to eat. It's not like i'd like to be a lazy bum, but i'm sick today =) fever and cold (no, i'm not feeling cold.. i mean i have coughs and colds =P....) =).
it's been a long time since i've been like this =), constantly taking my temperature taking in medicine in timed intervals =). It's not fun, especially when you have not taken a bath for a few days now (yuck.... you smell like trash =P) Medicine tastes bad (have nothin to write... can't taste the medicine.. tablets =P)
with all my ranting here there are still a few good things from being a lazy bum.. sick.. =) First, I get to watch all those dvd's which i have planned to watch since last year =P, i've watched samurai x today, constantine and others just to name a few =P (did not have any problems with anyone disturbnig me, it's a monday everyone is either in skul or at work yeah !)
Another reason to be happy about is you get to sleep like there is no tommorrow. You lie in bed the whole day, gettin up only to get something to eat or drink (wow a real fast way to make that tummy bulge =P) you pretend to be asleep when somebody knocks on the door and still pretend you are sleeping when somebody calls (don't wanna pick up the phone eh? =P but actually i was the one to pick up every phone call today =) )
Ok and another reason to be happy about is..... I can't think of anything anymore... it's not like I don't have any other things to do.. but that's probably all i did for today. =) gotta go ciao !

Today is my Mom's Birthday
Today I've worn a red (actually pink =P ) long sleeves to work. Reason? It's my mom's birthday... and like my other posts.. I just want to say Happy Birthday and wish you many more to come ! I've greeted her today early morning before going to office...
8 hours passed and I was again on my way home, rode the bus and took the jeep. No I did not buy any gifts... did not have the time... (ok that was an alibi =P ), I think it's not really in the family to buy gifts during birthdays... it's probably something brought down... carried down through chinese tradition. =P Well may be this year i'll try and change that... just maybe... (i never said yes.. okay i'm making my point clear here =P )
I got home at around 9 pm, ate my dinner (with noodles =) chinese tradition) and that's probably it. =)

Nope, i'm no father (don't even have a girlfriend =P). Today is father's day, a rather busy day for me. Yeah yeah you think i'm bluffing but seriously I was busy and still am busy.... and is very very busy =P (Can't think of anything else.... I am busy =P)
Had to finish some work today, and no i'm not going into the details. oh well things have been going around my head lately (literally... can't you see i'm typing everything over and over again... =P)
Stayed at the computer the whole day, didn't even change from the clothes i slept in... taking breaks once in a while.... only stopped pounding on my computer when nature calls or to get something to eat =) (I'm such a workaholic =P, well i guess i'm starting to be one... =P).
Finished working at around 8 PM (just now)... was already wonderin' where we'll be going to eat, my parents and my sisters have went to the mall earlier and we have planned to meet somewhere there... it's gettin' late and I am hungry... wait.. just got their message gotta go. =) bye !

Watch "Batman Begins" great movie!
Today, I went to watch "Batman Begins". Am not really a big fan of Batman, however I would really recommend this movie to all of you... for me this has got to be by far, the greatest Batman movie ever ! =)... Now don't just listen to me... go out and watch the movie for yourselves.. (after reading my post of course =P)
Not too optimistic of gettin to watch the movie, ( I was denied to watch Starwars III 2 times, no tickets left ) I left the office at around 6:00 PM, took a cab this time instead of walking and luckily I was able to get my hands on those last few movie tickets Yehey !
I went to buy some food from Kentucky Fried Chicken (ummm i ordered 2 chicken fillet sanwiches and a go go sandwich, plus fries and a mineral water. I wasn't hungry ayt ! =P ). Went back and lined up to enter the cinema.
Settled for the seat 2nd nearest the screen (did not have any choice, the next seat was like forever and it was nice sittin near the screen =P). The movie was cool you get to know where batman came from, his history (title is "batman begins" ayt..? what do you expect =P). The script/stoy was terrific, Batman was real serious here unlike the other batman movies. Then there was this quote which i liked "It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you."... i dunno why i liked it.... maybe someday i'll know... =). (what are you waiting for... already finished reading my post.. go get urselves a ticket and watch this movie !!!.. go go go now ! =P)

First aid class =)
Before starting, I would just like to point out that this post should not be used as a guide to perform first aid. Why? because I might be giving wrong instructions here and there plus i'm no professional in first aid.. just wanted to share what I learned from the first aid class. =)
Today I will be joining a first aid class (still trying to be a student eh ? =P). Again of the things i've really regret during my high school years is not joining any of the first aid clinics ( have i ever mentioned I was a boy scout for 4 yeara... so I should know some first aid ayt =P) ever offered. I don't know why i was interested in the course... maybe because of its practical use.. maybe it was because i thought it might be fun...?
Then End of day came (5:30) I left the office immediately, disregarded my friend's advise to bring an umbrella (the reason why I was soaking wet through out the class. =P so much for prevention =P) and got there just on time before the class starts. The class was real fun and I would like to encourage you all to attend this class=).
We covered I think seven topics and this included the following:
P.S. People doing first aid should always know their limitations and should always call emergency services. =) and before trying to help a person.... please ensure that the place is safe, there was once a time (story from the class =P) when one guy who went into a well fell unconscous... another man came saw what happened went in fell down unconscious.. there was almost 10 people inside when someone knew they had to call for help.
P.P.S. This post does not serve as any guide in first aid.. Heck I never even tried any of the things i've said above. So if you wanna learn first aid... go get a course from a pro =P

I don't know why i was interested in the course... maybe because of its practical use.. maybe it was because i thought it might be fun...?
Then End of day came (5:30) I left the office immediately, disregarded my friend's advise to bring an umbrella (the reason why I was soaking wet through out the class. =P so much for prevention =P) and got there just on time before the class starts. The class was real fun and I would like to encourage you all to attend this class=).
We covered I think seven topics and this included the following:
1. ABC's of first aid and CPR
The ABC's of first aid stands for Airway, Breathing and Circulation. I am not gonna explain the whole process as it is rather lenghty.. you may search for it your self =) (I just did there are a lot of em =) ). The thing to remember is to use the head tilt/chin lift to clear the airway, then use mouth to mouth resuscitation to give two breaths and perform CPR. (see! you don't perform mouth to mouth resuscitation immediately you know, so don't try to take advantage of the situation =P)
2. Choking
Next time you see someone claiming to be chocked yet is still able to talk... just watch him fix himself up =P. According to the instructor, as long as the person could still speak he/she could still cough that thing out. If you believe the person is really chocked, you should perform the heimlech maneuver (dunno if im spelling this right =P). Go over the back of the patient and hold put his hands down (always reassure the patient you are helping him... u don't wanna have someone start panicking) clench your fist and put it somewhere above the stomach... (dunno how to explain the position) and push and up to simulate coughing. When the patient turns blue ( not literally of course ), perform the ABC's of first aid... You may also sweep the person's throat when he/she is asleep (say good bye to your hand if the patient is still awake)
3. Burns
Contrary to populat belief, never use colgate on burns, this only worsens things. As always, use running water and soap. Another interesting thing is electrocution is only dangerous in high voltages (1000 voltage i think??.. so........ mad with your roomate?? is it safe to assume "the 110 volt electric plug could come in handy ?" =P joke ! of course not.... people getting electrocuted still suffer shock you know? =P )
4. Poisoning
Whenever a person is poisoned, try to poison to the hospital with the patient. Poison is treated several ways according to type of poison=). On Dog bites (rabies) immediately get yourself injected with anti rabies, also keep the dog with you (if I were u, ill throw that animal into the waste basket =P), if the dog dies within 14 days then chances are, you may be infected with rabies.
5. Dislocation
If you ever see a bone sticking out of someone's body don't ever .. and i mean ever try to but it back =P. When ever dislocation happens, the best thing to do is to splint the wound and bring the patient to the hospital.. seek medical assistance =) (or maybe if you are mad.. u could try putting the bone back joke ! =P)
6. Bleeding
The thing to do when someone is bleeding is to stop the bleeding (that absolutely made sense =P) and to do that the most basic tip is to apply pressure on the wound. Some other points discusssed in this topic is never pull any impaled objects off a wound, because that object might be the thing which prevents blood from gushing out of a person's body. also use alcohol and agua oxinada.. beside the wound only, these chemicals may destroy skin cells. =)
7. I cant remember ='(
As much as I would like to share all topics discussed...(WHAT!!! you don't wanna hear anymore of this crap =P) I really can't remember =P (must have amnesia =P). Anyways, if anyone of you still remembers the seventh topic could you please post them in the comments and i'll be happy to add it here =) (you may guess too =P) Thanks !
P.S. People doing first aid should always know their limitations and should always call emergency services. =) and before trying to help a person.... please ensure that the place is safe, there was once a time (story from the class =P) when one guy who went into a well fell unconscous... another man came saw what happened went in fell down unconscious.. there was almost 10 people inside when someone knew they had to call for help.
P.P.S. This post does not serve as any guide in first aid.. Heck I never even tried any of the things i've said above. So if you wanna learn first aid... go get a course from a pro =P

Joined Google Adsense
Today I've joined the google adsense program. I was looking around the internet to add something into my blog or something new and i've bumpt it. For those of you who don't know, Google adsense is a program which allows small publishers (like me) to display PPC advertisements on our websites. It helps publishers earn advertising revenue in a easy way.
Anyways, once i've learned about it, i thought it was a real interesting program, I will be able to earn revenue while still enjoying updating my site =P. I immediately read all things about it and even went to other sites on what they would say about the program =)
And so I joined the program, submitted a form and wished that my request will be approved. After a day, I received an email that my site was eligible to join the program. I was overjoyed that I started placing the ads (according to rules of course) into my site. If you are also intereted in joining the program you may look at the Google adsense homepage which i've put as link above =)
Am also looking into adding rss feeds ( i mean links to rss feeds to my site ) will be adding them soon =). (as of now, I have added Yahoo, MyMsn, NewsGator, Pluck and bloglines...=) )
