The left shoulder of my shirt?s got a huge HOLE!

Posted by HyukTa.net on Friday, May 11th, 2007 @ 11:31 pm in Personal - Philippines.

Last Thursday, I had to wake up early… Ugh~I reported to our OJT site. I could go in late (around 10AM), but I was asked to go to URPO (in DPWH NCR) first to talk to Engr. Badion (the project engineer). My other groupmates didn’t go with me which really sucks. XP Balao had an emergency. He messaged me around 3AM about it. Wally didn’t make it because he woke up late. As for Red, the only CE student in our group, didn’t message me until Friday after lunch. If he’s got a sense of responsibility, he should be the one to contact me as early as possible. Why do I have to look for him just so he wouldn’t miss the first week of OJT? XP Balao said the same thing, but I realized that the weekly status report must have individual reports that are each 15% per member of the group. Even if I pass the report today, I already lost 45% of the group grade. ~_~ No wonder Engr. Balmori’s really worried for me. He said there’s a group grade and I forgot that’s based on the weekly report. &gt_&lt (Btw, that Red person messaged me again last night. He asked if he could make something up for the individual summary. He asked me what I did and what happened. I didn’t bother replying because that’s very unfair to Wally, Balao, and especially to me.)

I’ve been getting ’spam’ sms again. First one’s about a Tax Amnesty Seminar. This is the full message:

TAX AMNESTY SEMINAR
May 29, 1-5PM
Holiday Inn Galleria

Big savings for you and your business
With free tax clinic for your case.
Call Rax 687-9014 396-1789 0906-492897


The message is from this number — 09053153379. I think I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve received such sms. Also, these people should learn to use commas and re-check the contact numbers they’re sending out. If you notice the last number/mobile phone number, it’s only 6-digits. Here’s another one that I got and it concerns about the upcoming elections.

Who’s Kiram? I almost typed out that as KIKIAM. P Whoever’s donating prepaid load should give me some. But I won’t use it to send messages like such. I’ll only send jokes… At least I’m going to make people or at least someone smile. ^_^

I got unbelievable fast internet speed last Wednesday (very early) morning til 4AM of Thursday. I was downloading 3 different anime episodes at 200+kbps each. XD I’m glad I downloaded like mad because I knew that wouldn’t last long. It was too good to be true. :O When the speed reverted back to normal, it was ‘flunctuating.’ Sometimes it would go slower than dial-up. As usual, I would have to turn off then on the modem and router. XP

2 Downloads at 200+kbps

Guy Guide: Choosing the right Headphones

Whether we care to admit or not, we just love music! And what better way to enjoy your playlist than listening to it using the perfect headphones right? So what should you look for when buying headphones? 1. First you need to decide whether you would be needing an earphone or a headphone. An earphone is basically a small bud which is placed inside your hears (ok raise your hand if you

QotD: Search Me

How well does your name Google? Who are you up against? (Celebrities, etc.)
Submitted by Matt Blank.

Very well. More so since I started blogging prolifically. It's all me on Google up until page 3 where others pop up - either not me's or a mixture of either my first or last name standing alone.

A friend explained that Google changes its metrics on searching/finding, so in the past, when I could barely find myself, I am now easy to find because of the comments I leave on others' blogs and because I blog, blog, blog. Getting linked to and from has also pushed me up in the search.

Two published articles I wrote also pop up here and here. The former was copied by the owner of the blog and pasted in its entirety (with credit attributed to me by virtue of including my name) and the latter is a cached version from a website I presume is now... gone, called Herword.com.

Googling my former morning show with - zach and joey nu 107 - produces us up until page 4 albeit sporadically from there onwards.

I'm not up against any really famous people. And I'm happy to see that self-definition on the web certainly beats others-definition any day. Want to pick my brain? Google me.

Great question by the way. I tumbld it the other day and didn't think of suggesting it for QotD. Demn. Vox-fame eludes me still. *continues search to make it to TIG*


How To Become A Better Girlfriend

“Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.” - Rudyard Kipling, 1892

Wouldn’t it be neat if either of the sexes is able to instinctively decipher each other’s minds? There will be no need to beat around the bush and end up feeling stupid. Talk is good, but sometimes people say one thing but really mean another. It then becomes convenient to say men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Rules of diplomacy are in order.

Here’s one hilarious list I was able to stumble upon online.

Mens’ Rules for Women

1.It is only common courtesy that you should leave the seat on the toilet UP when you are done.
2.If you are cooking a special dinner for a man, be sure to include something from each of the four major male food groups: Meat, Fried, Beer, and Red.
3.Don’t make him hold your purse in the mall.
4.Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary in many of the fine bars and fraternities throughout the country, not all men are cretins deserving your contempt.
5.Shopping is not fascinating.
6.When he asks for a threesome with you and your best friend, he is only joking.
7.Unless the answer is yes.
8.In which case, can he videotape it?
9.If you REALLY want a nice guy, stop dating good-looking assholes.
10.The man is ALWAYS in charge of poking the campfire with a stick and/or tending the grill.
11.Trying to provoke a large, dangerous-looking felon from across the room is not funny.
12.Money does not equate love. Not even in Nevada.
13.Any attempt by a man to prepare food, no matter how feeble (ie Microwaving a burrito, fixing Spaghetti, etc) should be met with roughly the same degree of praise a parent might shower upon their infant when it walks for the first time.
14.Those male models with perfect bodies are all gay. Accept it.
15.He heard you the first time.
16.You know, YOU can ask HIM out too… Let’s spread the rejection around a little.
17.If you truly want honesty, don’t ask questions you don’t really want the answer to.
18.Of COURSE he wants another beer.
19.The guy doesn’t ALWAYS have to sleep on the wet spot.
20.Dogs good. Cats bad.
21.Any sort of injury involving the testicles is not funny.
22.If he has to sit through “Legends of the Fall”, you have to sit through “Showgirls”.
23.”Fine.” is not an acceptable way to end an argument.
24.Do not question a man’s innate navigational abilities by suggesting he stop for directions.
25.He was not looking at that other girl.
26.Well, okay… maybe a little.
27.Okay, so what! He was looking at her. Big deal. Like you never looked at another guy…
28.There is nothing inherently wrong with the word “######”.
29.He is the funniest, strongest, best-looking, most successful man you have ever met.
30.And all your friends think so too. Especially the cute ones.
31.Your (select appropriate item:) butt/boobs/hair/makeup/legs look fine. As a matter of fact, it/they look damn good. Stop asking.
32.If you want a satisfying sex life, you will NEVER fake an orgasm.
33.It is not necessary to discuss the heaviness of your menstrual flow with him.
34.Remember: that Nair bottle looks an awful lot like shampoo if left in the shower.
35.Two words: blow job. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
36.Dirty laundry comes in several categories: Looks fine/smells fine, Looks fine/smells bad,
Looks dirty/smells fine. Unless you intend to wash it, do not try to disrupt piles
organized in this manner.
37.Yes, Sharon Stone/Pamela Anderson/Cindy Crawford is prettier than you. Just like Brad Pitt/Antonio Banderas/Keanu Reeves is better looking than him. But since neither one of you is going to be dating any of these people, love the one you’re with.
38.Of course size matters, and boy does he have the grandaddy of them all.
39.His (fill in appropriate selections:) bald spot/beer gut/impossibly thick glasses/impotency/scabby rash, is cute.
40.Don’t hog the covers.
41.Watching football is a major turn-on for you. But please wait until the halftime show to act upon that…
42.He does not just want to be friends.
43.A successful date always starts with the woman uttering the sentence: “You know, why don’t we just skip the expensive dinner and stay here having freaky circus sex all night?”
44.Just because this list doesn’t have as many entries as yours doesn’t mean it’s worse. SO GET OFF MY GOD DAMN BACK!
