Life is... Stranger than Fiction

If Will Ferrell gets nominated for an Oscar......eh.

Read some article he's good. I'm waiting for the movie to be shown. There seems to be Oscar buzz for comedian Will Ferrell for his role as the IRS man who is the subject of novelist trying to complete her book and narrating and he hears her voice which affects his life, work, love and yes, even death. It's comedy but serious comedy.

Jim Carrey probably mumbling. Hmm, I should've had that role. Hah.

Stranger than Fiction

For your political fantasies...

How about joining Fantasy Congress. A web site created by four students at Claremont McKenna College in Southern California. Now think of it as the fantasy football or baseball of the politicians and the whole congress. Read more from NYTimes article

And in the words of it's Website owner, Andrew Lee ... “Everyone knows about football, but more people need to know about Congress,” Mr. Lee said. “If as many people knew about Congress as knew about football, baseball and basketball, we’d all be more educated.”

Okay. Amen to that. Oh hey, I'm thinking maybe I should start something like that here. Heh.

In another blog blahs... browsing to tech page of the times and hihihi to one of the headlines We're Google. So sue us. Great title. Uh huh, they are Google indeed. Big company! Internet giant is facing plenty of legal battles most issues of copyrighted materials. They are the "government of internet" as one said. It'll be very hard to fight them and win a lawsuit.

Friday, I am skint

I hate Mondays and Tuesdays sucks and Wednesday was crap while Thursday was long uncertain blah blah day. And now Friday, I am skint.

You know, for somebody who's got what it takes.....I'm nothing.

Here's hoping the rest of the weekend will bring forth something good.

Rumors abound through cell technology!

So I was recipient of a forwarded text message about a supposed bombings that will simultaneously happen this weekend in a mall has prompted the military to be on heightenwd alert. The text still spreading like wildfires and seems everybody has been getting the same sms. Well at least this is not like Iraq or Afghanistan. No bombings here in the Metro.

Let's have some food porn

This girl is hungry! I'm craving for some broccoli(sp) cheese soup. I want to devour delicious swiss mocha cake (white frosting..yum!), taste a cup of choco cookie mint ice cream. A half a serving of chicken barbeque salad (that's from CPK), couple of shrimp dumplings, and katsudon, gindara with butter sauce. Oooh lalala!Yummness! Am I hungry or what, huh? Hehe. I'll probably look bloated after eating all that! Yayness! Haha! Oh but it's just all in the mind..the food. I think I'll just have some strawberry pocky sticks!

And models looks like stick figures! heh!and I'm neither! Wahehehe :)

Religious discrimination at work

An employee is suing British Airways for religious discrimination and suspending her just because they said she violated dress code by wearing necklace with christian cross! Damn! who the hell makes the rules at British Airways? Corporate fucktards, apparently! So what if she's wearing necklace or chain or whatever with crucifix symbol? That is not a damn crime! what gives? I don't think it's wrong to display such things of faithness. C'mon it's only necklace with cross for crying out loud! What a discrimination!

Here in my country almost everyone brings a rosary, wear's a scupular, has cross necklace and other symbols of their faith and religion and it's perfectly fine at the workplace. Of course here 70 percent are Catholics (and the rest are Muslims and of other religious sect).

You can bet your damn life if such a thing happened here like being suspended(at work, or shool or anything) for wearing symbols of faith, the Catholics will revolt!

Fashion press at the White House garden

President Bush complimented Kevin Corke' s suit.

"If I might say, that is a beautiful suit," he told NBC News correspondent Kevin Corke at yesterday's news conference in the Rose Garden. "My tailor appreciates that," replied Corke, wearing a $1,500 custom pinstripe number by Tom James with bright-red tie and pocket square. (Washington Post)

How insane! $1500 for a suit? For a correspondent? My goodness, that's like 55,000 pesos! That could be the earnings of our reporters/journalists even soldiers, policemen for a whole year. Maybe half (I guess, if they have sidejobs. Heh) but really, I find it to be too much. I mean of course one needs to dress nicely and be presentable but really.... c'mon! Uhm okay, if it's freebie or paid by the company, well, how lucky to get suited up fashionably. Hah.

Okay.. so the whole article actually is all about Bush making small talk because news is not so great especially for the republicans (being mid term elections and all) and other foreign policy matters. But hey even with small fashion talk, he can't get way with reporters questions.

Mulling GoogleTube and condemning North Korea

GoogleTube? Haha.

You knew it was only a matter time before big company buys one of the web's rising star for the moment. Of course if you're still clueless, Google bought Youtube. Geez, what will happen next they're gonna put videos and incorporate that here in blogger (Google owns Blogger) oh puhleeze! Nah ah! No fucking way! I'm getting enough dose of crap from my idiot box offline so I hope they don't put video thingy here. Ugh!

Gosh, these deals are everywhere. First, Myspace bought by Murdoch, then Flickr bought by Yahoo. I wonder what's the next hottest aquisition. Hah!

And now for some concerned piece of what's happening in the world...

North fucking Korea condemned and rightly so for testing yet again their nuclear weapons shit. They tested long range missiles. That is damn scary! Why? Because damn, we're talking testing of nuclear arsenals of that communist reclusive country! The Phils is nearby you know. God, the weapons of mass destructions probably and most likely in North fucked up Korea. Scary!

Blah. It's early morning and guess what? I'm hungry.

Does Windows still matter?

According to this Is Windows still relevant article, yes, Windows still does matter.

Looks like "yesterday's product" still has a few more tomorrows left. The reality is that Windows remains as important as ever. Web-based AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) applications may be the tech world's future, but there's a long transition between now and then.

That to their arch rivals and nemesis, Windows make or break their products. In the long ago years since windows became synonymous with our computer life, we feel lost without it guiding our path to geeky techlife. But with the web 2.0-Flickr-Youtube-Google-iMac- iTunes-Myspace age we live in, of course new technology will certainly overrun the old one and will likely slam the doors to the ageing ones. Like Windows.

Years has passed. Past is not the present anymore, and with Microsoft having had to endure gazillions of viruses, many antitrust and monopoly and other strings business malpractice and course court hearings and so on, generation web 2.0 people probably could care less about the Windows of their geeky life! But to the older ones ( hehe..moi?), Windows still is has the drive-hard and soft- and the Vista to change and compete and still there to lead the rest of the generation to a happier social networking geeky fashion tech life.

Cassettes has come and gone, the Atari has been replaced by sophisticated and expensive consoles (and companies trying to outdo each other is only upping up the competition), IBM now with Lenovo China, and guess what Windows still around. They better improve and make it more appealing to the new geekazoids and old (still loyal, I guess) consumers who still has faith with Windows.

He said, she said

In an exclusive interview, Lance Corporal Daniel Smith, 21, from Thibodaux, Louisiana, told GMA News that he was confident the Philippine court handling the case would acquit him and three other Marines of the rape charges. "Even if there was an attempt to settle, I wouldn't want to because this is my life here and I'm being accused of what I feel is the worst thing anybody can be accused of," he said. Click the link above if you want t see the video.

For the complainant's part, click this link

And as he speaks, new batches of US servicemen just arrived from...I forgot (Japan probably). They're now in Subic for a military exercise. There's more coming. R and R for these servicemen are not allowed most likely due to what happened last year. Eh, the Subic rape case scandal, as it ends. The court's decision and verdict next month. I think.

Silent water runs deep with treatment from the damned

It's raining here and the mood elevates my nonsense thinking to a new low. I feel neurotically fucked up! But I don't give a flying fuck. Because for fuck's sake I don't even fucking think. I maybe numb but I'm not dumb. Haha. The problem with me... if it doesn't matter then I wouldn't think about it so much. Fool! Skyefool! more like Skyeflakes! Oh crap! Dyslexia of confusion! I sigh.

Damn. Life is weird. I am vaguely weirder. Slightly bordering on the illusions of grandeur desire. Skylark squaloring skintness of feelings. I don't want t be in depth of ruins. Where is the missing piece? I want to feel. But maybe, the piece doesn't want to. Fuck.

The mind talks to nobody

So much to say but can't even say a word. Isn't it funny how we have a lot of things to say and we feel so much but yet can't even say it. I always check my feelings. Some days, I am such a dead giveaway. It's always nice to be fortright and just be blunt about whatever's ailing the mind and troubling the feelings, but I get embarassed. When I don't feel like feeling is when I feel a lot. I have so much inside this mind. I do say a lot when it matters and when I need to but often, I would just shut up. Shrugs to that.

For some unknown reason, I've been humming to Light and shade.

*edit. Late afternoon already. I went to "corporate America" had blah blah blah, did a blah blah for a blah blah. I'm quite tired. I feel hollow. Empty feelings sinks deeper into my emotions. As always.

Yahoo's gift and political gayness

Some are criticizing it. Yahoo's $1million gifting and granting foreign journalists for a a mid career fellowship program at Stanford University. It's not without controversy like the 'ethics of accepting the money.'

Doesn't all accept something as a form of thank you for nice write up. Money or something. I don't know. Or maybe it's just a practice here. Ach. Maybe not the hardnosed journos.

Political gayness yet again!

Scandal in the (US) house as more ickey dickey Foley newsies make the rounds. Gosh them freaky politicians! If they're not gayness, they're perverts. Former Rep. Mark Foley (resigned because he's el shitty perverty dudey) checked himself to a rehab for alcoholism and behavioral problems. Yeah, like sending sexually implicit emails to young boys. Geez, and you thought priests were bad lots! (news link via St. Petersburg Times)

*edit. The former Rep. said he was molested between ages 13 and 15 by a clergyman. So is that supposed to justify his acts of malice?! Lawyer for Foley said no, and inapropriate behavior has nothing to do with the congressman being traumatized. Uh huh so what gives!? Oh and he acknowledges he's gay! Yes, just like ex Gov. Mc. Greevey. Gayness as well! I recently saw an interview done by Larry King, he was promoting a book or something along with his 'partner.'

So when will out local politicians here come out of the closet? Hmm, there's quite a few of them. Hah! Jack off Jill....come out, come out!

Light at the end of the vision tunnel

Yes. Back. Poor Meralco (Manila Elec. Company), if voices and complaints could kill, everybody would be charged with murder! Can you even say murder is such sweet power sorrow?! Hah.

I'm still around. Solitary musings. It's like dark confinement of third kind. So fuck. What's wrong with my attitude, huh?! Read a statement of fact (it seems) and I wanted to retort back. I didn't. But I mean hey, if attitude like mine makes people want to avoid me, so be it. As long as I haven't done anything wrong and/or stepped on anybody's shit, I'm fucking fine! I know I am a good person! I'm always grateful for whatever small mercies comes my way.

I'll blagh and blog later as I gather my thoughtful spot.
