On daydreaming

My favorite part is when we were daydreaming of good lives ahead, and we would excite ourselves with what actually were fictions of our mind. -- Mordsith

Something like... (short-term goals pa lang 'to!):

This will be the work environment.

Cuba libre, while working. Or not.

A high-speed Wi-Fi connection while working... at the beach, of course. 

I mean, who wouldn't want an iPad, di ba?

And for the work-life balance, maybe this one will do?
They have an ATV circuit at Bora, right?

Good thing about daydreaming is that it's free... and there is the possibility that they might come true.

PS: Medium-term goal is you take away the work variable out of the equation. :-)

Superman, Son Goku, and The Hulk

A few days ago, I asked myself who the strongest fictional character is. Three names came into my mind: Superman, Son Goku, and The Hulk (hence, the title). I am not a comic geek, so I hope you'd forgive me if I present some not-so-accurate information.

Superman. The guy was actually my first choice. Hell, with his superhuman strength, I am sure he probably would have been the first choice of most of you if you were asked the same question. He can lift super heavy objects, leap from buildings, circumnavigate the world in seconds (whoa!), dodge bullets, and just recently, I have read that he sacrificed his life so he can power the sun in our system. Yes, he is actually the source of sun's energy in that comics series.

Son Goku. I really don't have much info on Son Goku but if you watch Dragon Ball Z, you know why he is on my Top 3. Well, it's like this: He also have all those super powers of Superman. He can fly. He moves so fast. He is strong. And he can be anywhere in the universe in a blink of an eye. Also, he can destroy any planet if he wants to.

The Hulk. E lalong wala akong kwento dito, hehehe. But I know that The Hulk's strength knows no limits -- the madder he gets, the stronger he becomes (anger = strength). Also, unlike Superman who has kryptonite as his limitation, The Hulk has no weakness. So, from that aspect alone, I'd say he might even beat Superman in a duel.

So, Who is the strongest of them all? I don't know. Superman is the source of sun's energy, Son Goku can destroy planets at will, and The Hulk's strength has no clear limitation. So, you tell me.

PS: The truth is, I wanted to write something about the "strongest person" I know, but I decided not to go with it because I might end up being super-emotional, hehehe. Hang on in there, be strong, and kick some arse from time to time. :-)

Sunday Laughs

I still can't find that attitude to make my posting/writing more regular. Yo see, I've been trying (since grade school, if I may add) to hone my writing skills through, well, frequent writing but it seems I cannot accomplish any of the two (the frequent writing and the honing part).

For example, I have this great (I guess?) idea about the relation of genetics, human capability, and some social issues but I cannot find the urge to write them. I did discuss this with my bro (who writes software for a hobby!!!) but after that, I just cannot put them into concrete, readable article. Why is that?

And now, instead of trying, attempting to write a sensible article, I am ranting (rant na 'to peksman!) and posting these pics... and I hope these will make you laugh, kahit konti. :-)

Happy weekend, everyone!

bottomless summer, free-flowing booze, endless fun at central

Un-shifting a paradigm

Is it true that the sun is not a star? The universe says so. I've seen it. Then there's the so-called universal powers. There is a reason, really, and you don't want to mess with it. Also, the people's concern should be the top priority. But if the feelings of these leaders are indeed holy as they project them to be, then, what can we really do?

On second thought, there might be a chance for that sleeping child that you saw a while ago. Asked by the majority, he says it's just a matter of time before they reveal it. Who would you blame? I will never ignore you. People say the party has just started, and the joke was on that guy. Hehehe.

Looking back, however, I know it's not true. Have you seen the anti-thesis of the analogy? Why don't you look at the smile she is trying to hide? It's been there since eternity. If only I could, I will. Look outside, you'll see what I mean. The big guns have said it themselves: it is not. Why should it be?

Again, it's not a matter of time. Nor should you believe otherwise. He is a kill joy! You should have known that long before he jumped -- it's really Mother Earth. But do you care? Did you even exist? Or maybe it's the formula that went wrong... or the killing-spree. I really hope so.

Cynic, pessimist, or just plain stupid?

A few days ago, the automated absentee voting was held in Hong Kong. According to Makati Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr., co-chair of the joint congressional committee on the automated elections, there were a couple of glitches in the event. Two machines stalled due to the cold weather there. It simply needed to dry out, and after an hour, it functioned properly.

Now, there were two voters who were disenfranchised (ballots were spoiled). The first one is because s/he "accidentally smudged her ballot due to pen stains". OK, understandable, but I hope it won't happen here. The other one, however, made me pause and think for a while. I don't know if this is human nature or inherent to us Filipinos. Anyway, what happened to the other voter was that s/he "deliberately crumpled the ballot to see if the machine would reject..." The machine did not accept the ballot. (Source here.) Hmmm...

Ang masasabi ko lang sa voter na yun:

Fake Obama Sex Video Contains Virus -- BUT OF COURSE!

Some people are just so stupid sometimes. Here's a news clip from a news site (http://www.switched.com/2008/09/11/purported-obama-sex-vid-is-just-more-malware-in-disguise/):

Like Megatron's Decepticon minions from 'Transformers,' spyware and malware keep finding new ways to hide themselves in an effort to infect your home computer. The latest attempt is a supposed video showing Barack Obama engaged in some sort of sinful act. It's all a lie -- it's just another piece of malicious software looking to hide itself on your machine.

In this case, the malware is a trojan called Mal/Hupig-D. It runs in the background and, as with most malware, steals passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, and can pretty much do whatever it wants once installed. That's no fun, of course, so as with every other example we keep posting about, watch what you click, and keep that virus scanner up to date! [From: Yahoo! News]

People's reactions from Facebook people? Range from "Oh, thank you, Sir, I was a victim of this, too," "I was a victim, I got ot from someone reliable *sigh*, " to "I suspected it was a virus because it's all over the Internet, but I fell for it". Holy effin sh#t! They needed to hear this from a news source just to confirm it was a virus?!?!?! WTF! And some of these people are the ones who hated Adam Carolla for telling the Filipinos to get our sh#t together. Maybe Adam Carolla simply had the guts to said what everyone was thinking about us.
