Good/Bad News

I don't know for you, but for me I want to start everything with a good news, so I'll tell you the good news that happened to me today...

I got an extension for another 6mos...whew it means I still have a job haahaha....

The good thing is I can go home this Christmas and be with my family again...

The bad news is, my MBP got a lil grumpy this morning...It wont boot up just an annoying buzz sound... Good thing there's a japanese guy here in the project who happens to be a mac lover...He owns an MBP 17 inch at home and a Mac Air at the office...Deym this guy is cool... Not to forget his Ipod touch...

The culprit, 1gb memory from Samsung..

I hate to compare but this is like Firestone tires in Ford... Not Ford's fault but Firestone...

This time it's samsung... Korean company but made in China...

Wowww I wish this is the last prob I would encounter in MBP...

`till next time, cheers to the good life...

DARwin

I thought my real name is really famous because of Charles Darwin and Darwin Australia, but I never thought there's a new DARwin that will add flavor to this name...

When I was browsing through my iphone I was thinking about this darwin filename thingie and I thought apple is really genius knowing who the owner is....hahahha just kidding am not that stupid...but honestly, I thought I encoded my real name somewhere on my iphone that's why i have this darwin filename thingie there... But now I know what this is all about...

DARwin (Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence) is humanoid, autonomous, and made of precision-machined aluminum. 

Read more about it here...

Makisig is injured!!!

Life really is unpredictable...

This morning at 3am when I was driving mah cuzins home, a motorcycle sideswiped my car... Both the driver and passenger were drunk and very disoriented throughout...

It was a pity seeing them nursing in pain but how could you not be mad at drivers like them; they don't have a license, no helmet, no registration and of course drunk...

Now I have to get mah car fixed without asking them to shoulder the participation fee for my insurance...Demet!!!

Thank God we're ok, I hope those two guys would recover also from swollen muscles and be responsible drivers after what happened to them...

Makisig now needs a `lil tweaking in Honda...

`till next time, drive safely guys!!!

Sad News!!!

It's a sad day today, my friend lost his daughter because she drowned at the Calumpang River... She's just 3 yrs. old a bundle of joy, super bibo na baby... It was so difficult seeing how the doctors and other hospital staff tried in vain to revive her but it was too late...
Since we were kids, Calumpang River is a no no for us... You can't play near the river because old folks always say that this river always get someone mostly kids... It was a pity my friend's baby wasn't spared...

Please pray for her soul...

We love you Bea!!!

Calumpang River

Pizza Parlor!!!

This is worth sharing, but I don't mean no harm to this Pizza Parlor that's why I won't disclose the branch where it all happened...

It was 3 days ago when wifey and I were starving, craving and literally PG na... She told me that there's a new resto near our location so I said ok let's check it out... It happens to be this Pizza Parlor, and who wouldn't love this Pizza Parlor's diner? I love it, really...

So we were so excited and seated comfortably while waiting for our food... The new resto has a nice design and seats are obviously new so everything was ok on this part...

When I was hurriedly consuming my order, I reached out for my root beer float only to discover that the straw has 3 flies on it, I was awed and immediately asked for assistance... When one staff handed me a new straw, a fly dove on my float and I said deym, I didn't order no fly!!! One staff even had a kadiri face all over her...They replaced it with a new one of course... Hopefully it was new because they do this thing in the kitchen...

So, when we're done, I asked for the bill and paid for whatever we had, excluding those flies...

You know what happened?

The gurl gave me the change worth 300 pesos with all 20 peso denomination...And some of these are in bad quality like what you used to pay to jeepneys and when you're making taya to jueteng....

My wife and I were laughing and all the staffs too, I told them, do you have a lottery or jueteng game here? Where did you get all these money? One even had a tape on it to keep it together...

See the pictures below and happy eating... :)



`till my next resto visit, cheers tot he good life...

Enormous Shades!!!

When I was a kid I always smile or maybe laugh whenever I see old men specially my Dad wearing an enormous Ray Ban shades... I thought, meyn, it's covering all his face and for him it's cool... Now this fashion is making a huge comeback, look around in the mall, beaches or even people walking down the streets, they're proudly sporting these enormous, behemoth shades...

Do I look good or stupid?

Happy Mother's Day!!!

To all mothers out there, today is your day!!!

They're the unsung heroes of this world, they would always sacrifice just to give us a better life and protect us from being hurt...


`till next time, cheers to the good life...

My Family!!!

Sarap sa pinas ang inittttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But sobrang saya because now am with my family... Now am beginning to experience those sleepless nites and diaper changing hours na nakaka groggy... This is priceless, honestly, sobrang sarap...

Now am skeptical about going back to Russia wahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanna share that it's always nice to have a family pic...

I like this one...

Dental Hygiene!!!

Are you always on the go? Traveling from one country to another? Or an OFW like me? Well I just figured out one way to keep my breath fresh before deplaning and kissing my wifey... I think this is an SOP for all airlines, having this plastic sachet of complete oral cleaner (toothbrush,toothpaste and mouthwash)... So after consuming that microwave fresh dinner in your fave airline, go to the lavotary and brush your teeth... I've been doing this for 2 years already and am surprised that I would find this sachet untouched, maybe some other passengers have their own or they're not aware that they could actually use this... So next time you fly, make sure you brush your teeth so that wifey or hubby would kiss you like you've been away for so many years...


`till then, cheers to the good life...

`Lil Me!!!

Remember my blog about EEEPC vs. Classmate PC? 

Update!!! 

They will soon have a new schoolmate...A friend of mine close to an HP insider informed me that a new HP `lil pc will be out soon...Much better than the two previously mentioned 'lil pc...It will be called HP Mini Note!!!

This will run on Linux and even Windows, although a `lil pricey if you will buy the latter... No cd/dvd but you can buy an external one...

So hold on to your wallets/credit cards guys, wait for this student to enter the University and see what he can offer us up on his sleeves...

Partee Again!!!

Oh meyn last nite was a blast..We had a nice party in a restaurant 30 mins away from our place...There were a lot of Russians dancing , no offense to them but I think we Pinoys does it better :) .. Maybe am biased...

Got to taste a new brand of vodka called Vodka Russian ICE... Whew, kicks better than our regular faves here in the camp...

as I always say, cheers to the good life.. KAMPAI...

Hooters In P.I.

Whadyaknow!!! Hooters is in the Philippines now... I heard  of this since last year but originally at the Fort not in Mall of Asia...

Great reviews so far from different forums I've visited... Hooters is an American restaurant made famous for its buffalo wings and of course those gurls wearing short shorts serving you with a smile... Remember the movie Big Daddy (Adam Sandler) when his gf left him for an old man then ended up working in hooters? As far as I could remember she's actress Kristy Swanson...

Well, neways, I will definitely go to Hooters and finally taste their famous chicken wings... Maybe buy some shirts too, I always wanted to have a Hooters shirt so maybe now it's even more realistic than before...

`till then cheers to the good life...

Another Reason to be Proud!!!

Good news mga kababayan, another pinoy (fil-am) is making us proud... After Pat Riley resigned as coach of my former favorite NBA Team Miami Heat (my fave during Dwayne Wade and Shaq's championship year), Assistant Coach Erik Spoelstra was picked to handle the head coaching job of the HEAT... I don't know much about this guy, but according to news, he hasn't comeback in P.I. since he was 3yo.. 

If you want more details go to this site http://www.filipinasmag.com/...

Let's hope more pinoys will make us proud and less of the Canister Scandal from Cebu..This is pathetic, very LAME...

`till next time, cheers to the good life...

Araw ng Paggawa!!!

Today is LABOR DAY!!!  We should be happy because this is our day!!! SHOULD, but I can't keep my eyes close typing this word... Look at what's happening to our country now..Is there a reason for a worker or laborer to be happy? C'mon, I couldn't stop myself but to shout at our tv set seeing our President laughing from ear to ear because she was a having a ball with the media about her impending cabinet revamp the other night... Am still young but I think I could've died of heart attack when I saw that scene... There's no food on the table for the not so fortunate ones' and all you can do is LAUGH on national teevee... Nothing personal Madame Pres. but please!!! I don't want to rant today I just want to share and tell you guys how I feel... It's bad enough that they charge so many paking whatever things on us OFW's but seeing our Leaders behaving like this is another cause of worry...

On another topic...

I hope justice will be served to our beloved ex-Justice Secretary Nani Perez.... I hope only the truth will come out..

I also hope the Pres. won't help him or anybody from the government considering how huge he was before(during his time as DOJ chief)... I pity his wife Mam Rosario, she's a nice lady very amiable... But, I can only say so much.... 

GOD HELP US...

`till then, cheers to the good life...
