Hmmm, after endless research about blogging I found myself reading an article about being BAD, otherwise known as Blog Addiction Disorder! Well, it's not official but it'll do to specify on what the mental case doctors have said to be Internet Addiction Disorder or IAD! And surprise, surprise...
90%
Are you one of the many? If so, how BAD is your case?
Well, I have to admit that it was quite an honor when I received this award and being posted number one in my friend's blog. Here are my share of lucky bloggers to receive this award from me: 1. ANN from CA! 2. DANIEL from Malaysia! 3. DENNISthevizsla 4. MRblueskies (welcome to my neighborhood!) 5. PENlighted. There you have it folks. But wait, I have an extra award for JOHNNYHA for putting a link to my blog in his! Lots of gratitude people! These are the rules to post this award- 4 of them have to be followers of your blog(1 newbie follower) and the last one has to be the one who gave you the award. Lol but the question runs in my head, why KIND? Am I really that kind?
I hear you... What can I say, I'm a food junkie my self. I do stuff while eating: read while eating, write while eating, play while eating, sing while eating, dance while eating, talk while eating- for Pete's sake, I even eat while eating! But never in my moments let alone lifetime(though I'm still well alive) did I ever become so obsessed with eating(believe it or not) that I'd even consider falling asleep while eating! Look at this ingrate plopping over his yummy, crunchy flakes like that! I can almost hear him saying, "I'mmmm sssssstonnnned mannnnn... this ffffood issss ssssome ccccrazyyyylicioussss crrrrrunch bbbbbut I rrrreally cccaannntt heellp mmmyyy eeeyeelids.*snore*" What the Hey! At least you can get off it so I can have some of it... selfish brat!
Well, don't we all look forward to our daily doze of newspaper news, job hunt and hunts for other stuff in the Classified section?! What do you do when you lively wake up in the sunny- sunshine morning, head to the door for the newspaper the paper boy dropped off pretty early(probably way before you even thought about waking up), brew yourself a doze of caffeine for the day as you sit by the coffee table as relaxed as can be and then, finally checking out what the News and the Ads have to offer in this brand new day- Then, you look at the classifieds and see this:
Pretty crazy huh? I thought it was funny. I'd definitely get the phone right away either call the Newspaper Editors, see if this was some kind of joke or just go with- see what all these advertisers have to offer. Ofcourse, you know I'd go for the latter. lol
In my quest to find something worth something in web world, I stumbled upon this blinking glamour survey in a humor blog section- where you always find me in my bewildered times. Anyway, the survey was: How manny Five Year Olds Could you take in a fight? or would you...
Well, seeing as I am posting this, you see... I don't mean any harm... and don't tip the authorities for this. I don't do this often, not even at all... Well, it depends... Forget it! Here's my score:
29
What's yours?! Don't beat up any helpless kids on your way out, aight?! I might be sued for being an accomplice to assault and abuse... This is just a survey, don't take it personal!
Have you ever been busted by a smokey- given a speeding ticket for ofcourse(what else, obviously) SPEEDING? I like to drive fast myself, but fortunately, I've never been caught!Take a look a this:
Wouldn't that be helpful? I bet it would be... The cop is absolutely oblivious! To all you stores and gas stations out there: You should give it try and help us dodge the speeding ticket bullet! hehe

Haven't you wondered why all of a sudden I have the consecutive urge of talking about food? I don't even know. Maybe, I'm simply hungry but hey, you might not know it but there are a lot of random things about food like for example, I consider it random when my mom tells me not to play with my food, stop staring at it and just indulge- I mean why not?!
Brace yourself for this all the more weird experience of great art! Seriously, these are some crazy art, let me tell you!
Inspired? I hear ya... Go ahead, indulge... play with your food! Just don't let your mom see you! Trust me, been there done that...Asian food is considered one of the most delicious in the world, but there’s a lot more to it than sushi, dumplings or rice. The only problem is not many non-Asians could handle these exclusive dishes. These "delicacies" you probably can't stomach, but that's okay, seeing the cause of/in your weakness(in appetite that is), we(I'm not Chinese!) take pride! lol If you think you can handle it, read on and say something! But if you think you can't, then scroll down pick another post and don't be a hater... This is quite lengthy so, patience is a virtue; in the end, you might've learned something!
Like many other strange foods, snake blood is believed to enhance male potency and it’s actually used more as a panacea than as a food. Snake-blood masters simply cut off the snake’s head and let the blood flow in glasses. Then they add the bile and serve the drink to anyone brave enough to try it.
Snake blood is most popular in Taiwan and in the capital of Tapei there’s a place called Snake Alley where you can find all kinds of snake super-products.
Well that's all for the absurdity of the day... Leave some for anything you'd like to say!

7 Asian “Delicacies” You Probably Couldn’t Stomach" (photo credits included in link).
If you thought body painting was an excess only American sports fans were guilty of, think again mate! You definitely missed the crowds along Wangfujiang Ave. during the Opening Ceremony.
Why in a country with freedom of speech are there phone bills?
Good question... Well, don't mistake "free" for "free-dom"- two different things and freedom is definitely not free (both literally and figuratively) but that's a whole other subject on its own. We surveyed a couple of sources (well, I did...) and I picked top 5 answers for this random and absurd question of the day.
5. "Because, if there are no phone bills, another's freedom to make profit would be violated!"
4. "They have the freedom to charge. Freedom of speech doesn't mean the products you use to speak are free."
3. "Everything has its price!"
2. "Freedom of speech is a right to (within reason) make your point, not the right to have someone else incur costs to allow you to do so over a great distance."- a very nerdy answer but it will do for our top 2.
But this is our best answer:
"It is free to talk. you need more equipment, so you're paying more. Writing a letter is much cheaper. for cell phones, you are paying for a service that didn't even exist 20 years ago. don't you appreciate all the work that went into inventing them? You are using freaking satellites for crying out loud."-Nicely put.. very well said... I couldn't agree more!
So, next time you complain about your phone bill and freedom of speech, think about something that could be worse like SNAIL MAIL!

This might be kinda late of a post but it's never too late to talk about things like these because this could be talked about for years ahead. It's going to be on the pages of books and ofcourse maybe Ripley's- no doubt.
The most talked about thing in town these days is THE OLYMPICS in Beijing... I wouldn't miss that for anything! And the lucky athlete of the day to be posted for the day is Super Heavyweight Jang Mi-ran from South Korea who broke 3 WORLD RECORDS aiming to get the gold. She set new world records for "snatch" and "clean & jerk" with a lift total of 326 kg! Sounds light enough? Well, that's only (A Jersey cow weighs 700 to 1,000 pounds!) I am even having a hard time lifting a calf- let alone a cow! She's crraazzy with a capital K! lol
Although the title of the world's strongest woman is unofficial, and there are probably athletes in other muscle sports who could dispute that claim- one thing is for sure... You better make sure you don't mess with little ASIANS- coz you'll be in serious trouble, you don't know what you're in for. Small but Terrible as they say!
This is after all a lovely day to say hola to all you guys out there in Web World!
I just got my new hard drive- thanks to Dell Tech Support, they were able to remedy the disastrous failure that lead me to almost the destruction of the unit itself due to my utmost no-patience temper!
So without furher ado, I am excited to announce to the virtual community that as of today, August 18, 2008, 2:56pm - This absurdity is back in business!!!
Who would've thought that I'm still alive and apparently breathing after leaving this blog for quite a few days?! Well, I'm still kicking. This is a frustration post and about a technology disaster than I am currently a victim of...
Vista is a wreck people in which case I already know that you know that.... It's a major disaster! Why couldn't they have just stayed with XP and went on from there, you know upgrade XP to more than a pro and not create a new one like this piece of junk!
First off, it crashes non-stop and trust me, it's not my notebook.
My stupid "dungy" Operating System has left me desolate. Of course, you can say that there are a lot of advantages especially in Vista Ultimate and Business but trust me eventually after awhile, it will crash and burn!
The gist is that I am kissed off because my comp froze a few minutes before I was supposed to have an interview with a client (Yeah great right?). And it never unfroze again until I was an hour late for the meeting. So, where do you think that job went? DOWN THE DRAIN!!! Ugh! Trying to be calm, I restarted it and then it came up with an error message bolded: FATAL SYSTEM ERROR blue screen! Heck, I was just on the stupid thing and it was fine. One minute its cool then, it becomes ugly!
I mean c'mon it's not the laptop because the hard drive is still pretty much in there and safe. I already backed it up. BUT for goodness sake, the OS is driving me crazy! It's not booting up so, how the stinking heck am supposed to troubleshoot?! This calls for sending it back to tech support and letting them fix it or replace it either or! And that alone, will take what 5 days?! a week?!
What about my job?! What about my Design hobby?! What about my blog?! What about my IMs?! What about my emails?! What about my whole life?! for the rest of the stinking week?!
Looks like I will not be posting stuff until this disaster is remedied...
Another random thought but you might not have expected a post as serious as this coming from me, let alone think about me thinking about it. This is somewhat (definitely lol) personal. And if you think the title sounds "traitoristic"(my word!)... as hmmmm... I perceived the question in your stare when you read my title. "Can you actually multi-pledge your allegiance?" READ ON!!!
You say...
Allegiance is loyalty to one and one only - none other. It is an oath to obedience, a duty of obligation either to defend or any other... obligation of fidelity and genuine obedience to a country or to a person. If you are loyal to one, you cannot be loyal to the other! That would be betrayal! You're a traitor!
I say...
My friend, first of all, your puny brain must comprehend this when I say, it is a freedom of speech to say "I multi-pledge!" (lol) No, in all seriousness, I am most certainly loyal and most definitely under obligation to anything both parties are involved in. Although, I cannot be in two places at once but I can have a part of me to in the other and another in another. Don't get me wrong because I would do as much for one as much as I would for the other. I am both equally indebted to them- therefore, there is no betrayal and I am no traitor for I merely love and I simply serve. Dramatically speaking, I would even as much as die for one as I would for the other; there is no unfairness, inequality, injustice, partiality, one-sidedness, prejudice, however you wanna call it-
Loyalty is all there is to it.
I am loyal to both even unto death.
Oh and by the way I can be sober sometimes... That's when I multi-pledge! You should do it some time...
Once again, in the randomness of my nature, I thought about posting a twist on common phrases. So here it is... This post might be a bit interesting to you if you are fond of Science, specifically, the study of insects. If not, then you'll find this one- weird and gross. Definitely, weird of me to have posted it. lol
You are now looking at various small insects a.k.a GNATS. The image above shows the common gnat , looks like a cricket to me. The next twoimages below shows a fungus gnat larva
Well, as you perceive, I guess there is no need to state the obvious...
2. Conventional - Despite the fact that the whole idea is very disturbing and disgusting, it shows a pretty "neat" way of viewing this exhibit , with its shiny glass surround for easy peeping!
For those of you who still do not know what that ^ image is - those are flies/gnats on a pile of dung.
Do you look for, if not all, almost altogether all your sources of information for research papers, presentations, graphics, etc. in Google? Let's take it to an extra level- Do you spend too much time on the computer searching almost about anything you can think of, without any relevance to what you want to see or even do at all? Is "Googling" your way of killing time either at work or just whenever? So much so that you have considered it one of the top list in your online habits? Or better yet, do you use Google for your own benefit thinking, hoping, and wishing that you can Google your way to success?
Don't be frightened mate, it is not at all wrong to admit it, because you're not alone. Google addiction has reached epidemic proportions with no possible cure but to cut your internet access off! (You wouldn't wanna do that, would you?!) When you spend too much time on the computer searching for anything you can think of, you've become a Google freak, otherwise known as "Google-holic". I can definitely tell you that I am a certified Google Freak in Google Mania Land.
Well, like I said... there is nothing wrong with it- as that saying goes, "Everything comes to those who Google..."
Having said that- Folks, we must not back down from our record-breaking, highest degree label of being an Xtreme Googler! We must keep on clicking even when we have so much to search, information to upload, file overload, everything available with a click of a mouse but ironically not enough time so to say- "So much to google, too little time..."
Therefore, before our time runs out, we must go on; we must remain and conquer! As both the principle and words of Julius Ceasar applies today as you join the world of Googlers in searching and conquering information in the Web World... Let us altogether prove the statement: "I CAME, I SAW, I >GOOGLED<...!!!"
What do you say? You have nothing at all to lose but everything to learn! Just admit it:
Want to LOL? Ready to ROTFL? or do you wanna say LMAO? (lol) Well, you just landed in the right place... I'll probably be starting this "Joke of the Day" thing in my blog. They'll be made up of jokes that made me laugh from online sources and/or jokes from of course the infamous ME- although I wouldn't think you'll be laughing when they're all from me- I will, definitely, but we'll see about you...
Here's your funny read for the day:
There were three boys named Manners, Shut up and Trouble. One day, the boys decide to play hide-and-seek. Trouble is on. Manners goes and hides in a tree and Shut up goes and hides in a trash can.
At that moment, a policeman comes up to the trash can to throw away a banana peel. He opens the lid, only to find a boy in there.
The policeman asks, " What are you doing in there, boy?"
Shut up replies, "Playing hide-and-seek, sir."
Intrigued, the policeman asks,"What's your name, boy?"
"Shut up."
"Where are your manners, boy?!"
"Manners is up the tree."
"Boy, are you looking for trouble???"
"No sir, Trouble is looking for me!" :lol: :-D :lol: :-D
If that tickled you even a slightest bit, give me a buzz... My email link is to the right. I know you'd prefer the vote poll thingy down there. I think this is more personal. It's more like it. hehe
You'll never know if I get more "Yes, start a Joke of the day posts" I'll certainly do it.
Until then, I'll be waiting for your say to it. Come again!

There are a lot of odd things in this world that we are both aware of and unaware of. We are aware of those we see with our naked eyes. It's as bad as the optical illusion I talked about earlier. There are countless words in the English language: there are interesting ones that are long obsolete, and ones that remain. We must know words can trick us. You must know that most people have such a way with words that they can cheat and convince you of whatever things they want you to do.
Furthermore, words play with your brain especially when you don't know their meaning. Suddenly somebody tells you something and you don't understand what they're saying, you just sort of smirk or breathe a smile because you just don't know what in the world they're saying and don't know how to respond and you don't especially want to look stupid. Let me break the news to you my friend, you already look stupid to begin with!
For Pete's sake, for all you know they're telling you how you're going to die! lol That could be a very far-fetched idea but hey, it can be a possibility. This is why you need to know words and broaden your vocabulary a little. Learn words like "obbligato"- you might mistake it to be Spanish or Italian, and say "Oh yeah, obligation". No, you dummy! It's an English word and it means music accompaniment by a solo instrument other than a piano! You see words mess with your brain...
I said all that, to ask you this question of the day, something to think about perhaps for those people who have nothing to do, or those bored and bewildered:
Hey Ya!!! This is what's good in the international hood! Yes, that's true- following up to the statement that this country has been thoroughly westernized. I wouldn't say thoroughly but it has, and it is indeed, yet still with its own uniqueness. Ranging from the music industry, movies, etc. the Philippines is definitely on its way up there... in this area that is. Check out the full article here.
I'm definitely looking forward to this, considering I was talking about soccer/football not too long ago, remember? Although I'm not in the position to partake in this event and be in exactly the same place, I am in a
place where I can support it. FIFA rocks but thats foreign- thanks to them we're having the stadium! But let me tell you this is what rocks-- PFF, Philippine National Football Team a.k.a. AZKALS (derived from askal, asong kalye meaning street dogs) Yeah dawg! I'm excited beyond measure that finally soccer definitely has its official tag in the Philippines! And I'm sure many of my previous colleagues are ecstatic right about now! I don't blame them- this makes me want to go home myself and play!!! I can just say... It is after all my country.
And by the way, I suggest that they should also promote American Football out there! (lol) It's football!!! It's wicked fun stuff!
And for my people out there... "Iba talaga ang Pinoy!!!"
