I am Safia Farkash, wife of late Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who is presently been killed by the unfaithful opposition leaders in my country. Following the heat as a result of the crises in Libya against my late husband, Col. Muammar Gaddafi, I have been able to escape to a Neighboring country in Algeria with my daughter who recently gave birth to save our lives. I am desperately looking for a foreign reliable partner whom I can trust to handle some funds on our behalf. The deposit was made one time by me in one of the security Companies in the United Kingdom in my name. The UN and the Western world have freezed most of our assets and funds bearing Gaddafi's name anywhere in the world Consequently, our status/position of the present state does not permit us to open an account or run any huge financial business at the moment, hence I contacted you to claim the funds. The necessary Legal documents will be changed to your name to enable the release of the funds to you by the finacial Company.

Your assistance will enable us invest the funds in your country. But before we proceed you will promise me that you will not betray or abscond with the funds when it eventually released to you. Last time the government moved to officially freeze the assets held by the Libyan regime in the UK following sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council Find below the links where some of our assets were freezed.

I will furnish you with more info as soon as I hear your response indicating your interest to partner with me. At present I don't receive or make calls for security reason (s) as it is being monitored. All communication is based on internet. Waiting for your prompt and positive response.

Thanks.
Mrs.Safia Farkash Gaddafi

4 more years!!!

A warrant of arrest was issued hours after tons of documents were submitted. A CJ was impeached without signatories knowing why they are doing this (it's just that they are afraid to be tagged enemies of the regime). A call for CJ replacement in case the CJ will be unseated was made in bad taste (what? rubber stamp Congress and Senate?).

Should I even include how shooting and drinking buddies get protected even f they have committed clear and obvious mistakes? Or the "justified" Macs in the CommGroup? Or the suuuper late (or lack of it) disaster response? Or the partying with some entertainers while people are dying down south?

Is it just my moral compass or there's something wrong with this administration?

Yeah, 4 more years. F%$#!

At the very least, the number 1 guy in Malacañang should seriously be taking online college degrees with a major in good manners and right conduct!

New comment on Superman, Son Goku, and The Hulk

This post was actually a reply of a certain Bryson to a post of mine where I asked who is the strongest between Superman, The Hulk, or Son Gokou.

He believes it's The Hulk and I am convinced. Almost. Here's his reply in its entirety.
~~~
Before reading this you should know this WILL be lengthy. As stated above, it is clearly between The Hulk and Goku. Lets run down both of their powers and abilities. Goku is hands down the BEST martial artist in any universe one puts him into(well aside from Batman, but that's a different debate)when he suffers a near death experience; his strength increases exponentially(like after he first fought Vageta; this also gives Goku in theory limitless strength). He also has the ability to shoot energy projections in multiple forms, and even summon the energies of living creatures into a VERY powerful energy bomb (the spirit bomb, witch can destroy planets). But Goku's greatest martial arts technique is his Instant-Transmission(where he can instantly telaport himself to one location to another). Now for The Hulk. The Hulk, as stated, has limitless strength. He is so strong he can leap hundreds of miles (even into the limits of the atmosphere), he has literally lifted mountains, pulled a planet's tectonic plates back together, and has caused earth quakes from the mere action of putting his foot down. But perhaps some of his most astounding abilities lay within his body's resistance. He can withstand the force of a nuclear blast(and far greater forces), submerge himself in molten magma(and emerge unscathed), and of course his body has the ability to produce its own oxygen (thus giving him the ability to survive in places with little to no oxygen; such as outer space). On top of this, even when he is injured, his body heals itself within seconds(it is even said his healing abilities are better than Wolverine's). So now that we've run down their powers and abilities, lets create a scenario where the two square of in a head to head fight. Goku would absolutely out class The Hulk in his fighting skills and completely dominate the first half or so of the fight. However, any attack that Goku can dish out is NOT enough to stop The Hulk. It may injure him for a time but, this will only make The Hulk madder, and thus STRONGER. It would get to the point where The Hulk's strength would absolutely overshadow Goku's, fighting skills. If the Hulk were to land even one blow, it would end the fight right there. Goku could summon a spirit bomb, [get a claw foot tub and throw it to Goku] and use his Instant-transmission to get some where safe, but this would not be winning the fight as the Hulk would survive the blast, and then latter outer space. Some of you may bring up Goku's ability to get stronger once he recovers from the fight; but then we would just be walking into the same scenario as before, the only difference would be Goku would last a little longer before The Hulk over powered him again and won. Additionally, Goku's recovery time is about that of a normal human being (unless given a Sensu Bean, witch instantly heels him) but lets assume he has none. The fight ends there when he doesn't have any, and when he does it is just prolonged. I hope this explanation helped out. That is why The Hulk is the most powerful out of the three choices.

Oh, and by the way, in case anyone is interested to know what you can give me this Christmas holidays, maybe you can give me some passes or tickets for a Disney world vacation? That would be great, right? Or if you want to go local, a Boracay or Coron trip will do.

Gmail and Masterchef

[GUEST POST FROM XYZ*]

Google is the best company in the world... Gmail is the best e-mail provider. :-) I remember the time when having a Gmail was a privilege only to some people who were invited by people who have Gmail account. You still remember that year?

Gmail started with 2 GB of free storage. That was a WOW then! I think Yahoo! Mail only offers 500 MB before. Now, Gmail offers 7 GB of free e-mail storage plus some more in their Docs and Picasa Web Album. IAnd I told myself, who would be needing 7 GB of e-mail storage? Hehehe. I guess I made that statement very prematurely. Because as of now I am actually a proud owner of 27 GB storage of e-mail/Docs/Picasa storage.

So, if you are still using other e-mail clients, I suggest you switch now. You can't just find a better deal than Gmail. (You see, if Gmail is a restaurant equipment, this is the one preferred by masterchefs!) And if you are worried about the old mails and contacts that you have, fear no more as Google has introduced more email providers from where you can seamlessly import those information towards your new Gmail. Check this out, hehehe:

Gmail makes email easy and efficient. And maybe even fun.
With Gmail, you’ll get lots of storage space, less spam, fast search and lots more.

I was watching one of the best movies of all time a while ago. And I just love this part:

Panel member: Doctor Arroway, you come to us with no evidence, no record, no artifacts. Only a story that to put it mildly strains credibility. Over half a trillion dollars was spent, dozens of lives were lost. Are you really going to sit there and tell us we should just take this all... on faith?
[pause, Ellie looks at Palmer] Michael Kitz: Please answer the question, doctor.
Ellie Arroway: Is it possible that it didn't happen? Yes. As a scientist, I must concede that, I must volunteer that.
Michael Kitz: Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You admit that you have absolutely no physical evidence to back up your story.
Ellie Arroway: Yes.
Michael Kitz: You admit that you very well may have hallucinated this whole thing.
Ellie Arroway: Yes.
Michael Kitz: You admit that if you were in our position, you would respond with exactly the same degree of incredulity and skepticism!
Ellie Arroway: Yes!
Michael Kitz: [standing, angrily] Then why don't you simply withdraw your testimony, and concede that this "journey to the center of the galaxy," in fact, never took place!
Ellie Arroway: Because I can't. I... had an experience... I can't prove it, I can't even explain it, but everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am tells me that it was real! I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever... A vision... of the universe, that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how... rare, and precious we all are! A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater then ourselves, that we are *not*, that none of us are alone! I wish... I... could share that... I wish, that everyone, if only for one... moment, could feel... that awe, and humility, and hope. But... That continues to be my wish.  

Ellie, for those who haven't watched this yet, is not just someone with Food Service Manager Jobs, she's an astronomer-physicist, I think.
I just love this movie! Care to read an article about the Higgs Boson?

Apple (iOS) versus Android War Is Over

Let me quote the article from Gizmodo verbatim:

This, my friends, may be the end of the smartphone fanboy wars. I can give my two cents. The rest of the tech community can give theirs. But God Almighty himself, through his appointed papal mouthpiece, has picked a winner.

Hehehe. The article is just outright funny. I didn't go as far as to verify if the Vatican indeed made a press statement about this, but the source is MSNBC... so... I guess they already did their own verification/validation of the news. Here's what Vatican said, according to MSNBC, by the way:

Benedict XVI will activate the illumination from his apartments in the Vatican Apostolic Palace. He will touch the screen of a Sony "Tablet" with an "Android" operating system which, via the Internet, will transmit the command to switch on the electric current to the tree.

Between the green robot and the sinful fruit, the former is closer to my heart. So, here you go:

I guess Jobs didn't go along so well with St. Peter up there.

Android wins!!! Now, All I need some loans preferably with fixed annuity rates so i can buy my next gadget.

What's Keeping Me Busy Lately

Some people are busy trying to jail some ex-president and commissioner, among others; some people are busy preparing for Christmas and their birthdays, and some people are busy doing something else. :-)

Ako? I'm busy preparing my suit for Marvel's The Avengers next year. Take a look at my work area:

Watch out for my Iron Man suit!

Send them to us, and we'll have it judged according to criteria which we posted in the link above.

Pasko na!

December na! It’s time to make my wish list and have it circulated to people who can make the list come into reality. :-)

My wish list for this year is quite simple because I guess I am very much contented with what happened to me this year (plus I still have many years to come pa naman for the next batch of wish lists).

My 2011 Christmas wish list – and again, these are just simple wishes:

1. My own house and lot in Camaya Coast. I saw a short presentation of that estate and wow! I just got to have a property somewhere there.
2. A new vehicle and perhaps awesome new office for my Central Focus team. Something similar to that of Google’s. Hehehe.
3. And finally, another prosperous year. :-)

And you thought I’ll be writing down simple wishes like Padron cigars, no?

Advance Merry Christmas to all!
