TGIF:Movie Night

There's an empty seat beside Homer. Too bad I can't sit there because of the damn "Do Not Enter" sign. :(

Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. Does whatever Spider-Pig does. Can he swing From a web? No he can't, he's a pig.

I still can't get over that Spider-Pig song from the Simpsons movie, and it is now three days since I saw it. I must say that it is the funniest movie that I've seen for a long time and certainly the second best movie released this year (with the Transformers at the top).

I watched it in Glorietta last Friday together with my officemates. I am supposed to watch it on Saturday back to back with Ratatouille (or Ouija? nah...). But thank God I didn't, because I slept the whole day. And watching it with others is certainly more fun than watching it alone.

I have never watched a single episode of the Simpsons, but I enjoyed the movie. Overall, the movie is great. It has a coherent story, but it's main strength is it's humor that almost every scene made me laugh. I have many favorite scenes...one of them is Homer making the pig walk on the ceiling with matching spider-pig theme music. I don't want to spoil the others who haven't watched the movie yet, so I'll stop talking.

I hope there is a sequel (and I think there will be because of a hint during the credits). And I hope I can find a DVD of the Simpsons series because I realized that I missed out on a lot.

Who bothers to clean their electric fans anyway? I'm not allergic to dust so I don't care. :P

LRT2: I hope the MRT is like this. Nice and beautiful stations, trains with a lot of room (never yatang may siksikan dito) and airconditioned trains...ALL TRAINS.

Alumnus Blues

Grabe! Ang tanda ko na!

Kung dati, ako ang nagpapa-sig sa mga alumni kapag acquaintance party, ngayon naman ako na ang nagsi-sig! Kamusta naman kapag nakikita ko ang birthyear nila ay 1989?

At talagang naging tradisyon na ang Funny Bones na game ah. hehe...dyan nagsisimula ang mga broken relationships.

Kahit na dalawa lang kaming alumni, ok lang. Nakita ko ang mga members na miss ko na. At ang mga apps? Daming hot! Haha! CURSOR Sexy talaga!

sarap ng food. At mabuti naman hindi na tubig na may kulay ang inumin (read: iced tea na matabang). Softdrinks na!

THE reason

Magyayabang muna ako ngayon. Nyahahaha!

Last week, I got my new phone: the Nokia N73 Music edition, which is my very first electronic gadget that I bought using my own money... well... actually... it isn't paid yet. A part of my salary will be deducted for 18 months in order to pay for the phone. That's 500+ pesos every "suweldo day", easily cancelled out by having a 4 hour overtime for every semi-month. Not bad.

After this, I am supposed to buy an iPod. But my new Nokia N73 phone said, "You don't need an iPod. You need me...only me." Ok, it didn't really talked, but seeing its features and realizing the more important things in life, I decided to erase the iPod from my wishlist. I can't believe I just did that, considering that I always drool over orgmates/classmates back in college who had one of those thin, bubblegum-like music players.

The reasons why I don't need an iPod:

1. Even having a 4GB+ music gallery and 2GB+ "video" gallery, I only have less than a gig of favorite songs and "videos", and the remaining songs are just plain jologs or "pinagsawaan ko na."

2. My N73 has a 2GB miniSD card with it, and as of now, it is still enough to hold my fave music and "videos" plus some downloaded themes and games.

3. I only spend 5 hours of "wireless/remote music listening". 3 hours going from and into work, and 2 hours at home when I have nothing to do. The other 19 hours are spent on work (I can just use my PC for listening to my music), sleeping, eating, watching TV and doing other stuff that you don't need to play some music.

4. iPod doesn't have an integrated FM radio. I can't listen to Nicole Hiyala and Kris Tsuper's morning radio program on Love Radio. Jologs na kung jologs! I really find those guys funny and I want to start my day with a smile on my face. :D

5. I must not be comparing apples against oranges, but a cellphone is just better than a device doing just a single job. I need to spend my money wisely and not spend it on what is just "uso" or "in".

And the other features I like about my phone.
+ the 3.2 megapixel camera. Nice picture quality and feels like a stand-alone digital camera (half-press to autofocus, color/camera modes, etc.)
+ the wide screen, but it made the keypad smaller and harder to press. I'm getting used to it though.
+ internet connection using SMART's 3G service. 10pesos/30 minutes. Not bad for a 480kbps connection.
+ the best and coolest snake game ever!
+ great sound quality coming out of it's two speakers.
+ built-in file manager. But I need to download another one to hide my "files". ;)
+ gallery slideshow, with matching background music, panning and zooming.
+ Adobe PDF reader (for readings/e-books on the go)

No, I'm not a Nokia dealer to advertise this phone. I'm just happy to have a new phone! You must know the feeling especially if you have a phone stuck with you for 4 long years. But I am still using my N3660. God of anti-cellphone theft and hold up, have mercy on us.

One more thing. Watch for an all new freeze ur mind, coming to you this...coming...I don't know. If I have time, a blog revamp. Plus, photo blogging! I always wanted to take photography lessons. Now I'm going to learn it the hard way. :)

Equations and formulae to live by

"Math is around us!". Yan ang palaging pang-uto sa atin ng mga teacher natin sa Math para mapwersa tayo na mag-aral nito. Mula sa simpleng addition at subtraction, hanggang sa komplikadong sine, cosine, derivatives at integrals, lahat daw yan ay may pakinabang sa buhay. Sa tingin ko totoo naman, bilang Best in Math ng batch namin nung high school (ahem...lakas ng hangin!). At hanggang ngayon, importante talaga ang math, lalo na sa kurso ko na ang pundasyon ay math at hindi computer chips. At nalaman ko din, maski walang pakinabang ang pagkuha ng roots of a polynomial to the nth degree pero pilit pa ring pinapa-solve sa tin, ang totoong sinusukat dito ay ang iyong critical thinking.

Ang haba ng intro ko. Pero ang gusto ko lang naman isulat sa entry na ito ay ang kahalagahan ng simpleng math sa buhay natin.

1. (a)INCOME - SAVINGS = EXPENSES
(b)INCOME - EXPENSES = SAVINGS

Kapag daw gusto mong magtipid ng mas epektibo, gamitin daw ang equation (a) at hindi (b). Nakita ko ang equation na yan sa isang forum sa www.peyups.com. Iba raw kasi kapag mas una mong itatabi ang iipunin mo kaysa sa gagastusin mo. Gagawin ko 'yan sa susunod na sweldo kasi daig ko pa ang batang nagtuturo sa mall kapag nakakita ako ng magandang polo. Bawas impulse buying muna.

2. MONEY is inversely proportional to LOVELIFE

Sa tingin ko naman lahat ay agree dito, unless ikaw ay babae.hehe...Kung gustong makaipon kaagad para pambili ng bahay at lupa para sa iyong "future family", iwasan muna ang paghahanap ng lovelife. Heto na yata ang most effective way ng pagtitipid. Pramis!

Pero meron ibang instances na gagastos ka naman para sa sarili mong luho (see wishlist sa kaliwa). Kaya mawawala din yung savings mo. Ampness! T.T

3. (.6a) + (.4b) = c
where a = star quality, b = musicality, c = pinoy pop superstar champion

Walang sumisikat sa singing contest na ito, pramis! Kamusta naman kasi ang scoring system. Dapat nilubos na nila, dagdagan na din nila ng audience impact.

4. IF(fool_me == 1) shame_on_you();
ELSE IF (fool_me == 2) shame_on_me();

Yun lang, may konti ng programming. Huwag magpapaloko sa isang tao more than once. O kung hindi maiiwasan na kailangan mo siyang pagkatiwalaan ulit, maging maingat my friend. Madami ng manloloko ngayon. Malay mo, yung binebenta pala sa iyo ng suki mong cellphone dealer eh nakaw pala sa Quiapo.

5. ME + XXX ... cannot be!

oh diba? Ngayon ka lang nakakita ng additon pero cannot be. Well, ganun talaga. Love has no rules. (naknang!) Kapag hindi pwede, hindi talaga pwede. Dahil sa mga "boundaries" kaya hindi mapag-add ang dalawa. Haaaay...loneliness.

Wala na akong masulat na matino. hehe...tagal ko na din hindi nakapag-post. Bilang pangwakas, binabati ko ng Happy Birthday ang mga family members ko na sunud sunod ang birthday. Sa Daddy ko (June 30), at sa mga pamangking kong sina Kim (July 1) at Rich (July 2). As if mababasa niyo ito.ahehehe...
