Jumpin's Jackpot!
Medyo matagal na ata akong di nakapunta sa TimeZone sa Glorietta 4. Kahapon ko lang nakita itong 'bagong' game na to doon:
Nung una di ko malaman kung para san sya or kung anong ginagawa nya. I had to read the instructions to realize that it's a 'virtual' or better yet a jump-rope-simulator. I didn't try it, kulang ako sa kapal ng mukha para i-try sya.
Tsaka baka nakakatatlong talon pa lang ako eh sukuan ko na sya

Tsaka baka nakakatatlong talon pa lang ako eh sukuan ko na sya Highway to Hell
It was early Saturday morning. I was going to my parents house in Bacoor (near SM Bacoor) from my house in Greenwoods Subdivision (Dasmarinas). That required me to take a bus ride from SM Dasmarinas (Aguinaldo Hwy-Governor's Drive crossing) to SM Bacoor (Aguinaldo Hwy-Tirona Hwy crossing).
And so, the story goes...
At 6 to 7 am on a Saturday, Aguinaldo Highway is just starting to fill-up with all types of vehicles. And its also the time when most of the PUBs (public utility buses) start coming out of their garages to start picking up commuters going to Manila. I had to take one of those buses. There are several of them lined up in front of Robinson's Dasmarinas. San Agustin, Jasper, Crow and several others. I had to pick one, so i boarded the San Agustin Bus nearest to where i was at.
..then the roller coaster ride begins...
The bus started going even before my other foot stepped on the bus' 'door-steps'. The driver and the bus conductor was telling me 'kapit lang boss, kapit'. (Good. How nice of them to think of your safety). With the other buses strolling beside each other, the literal 'roller-coaster' ride begins.
The road is wide enough to fit two buses side-by-side (four if its two way). But that brings the buses only several inches away from each other (say about a foot or less). Think how close race cars get to each other in NASCAR racing. Now imagine the buses doing something similar on a busy highway. Fun!
...now the 'fun' part...
A lot of commuters are starting to pile-up on the sides of the road to wait for their bus rides. And a lot of buses are coming and going on busy street intersections to pick up those commuters. That's the 'fun' part.
Since there are a lot of buses, picking up commuters is like a competition to the bus drivers. All of them want to get the commuters first. They'll do anything out of their powers to get to the commuters before the others does. Forget that the road is only wide enough for small vehicles, what's important is they get the advantage over the 'competition'. They'll cut the others off, they'll swerve both sides to block the trailing buses, they'll speed up just to catch-up with the 'leading' bus, all these while ignoring innocent pedestrians and private vehicles who are also part of the busy highway. In fact, the bus i'm in nearly wiped-out a Tamaraw-FX when it suddenly tried to swerve and change lanes in front of it. This got the FX drivers so mad, that when we had to stop for a stoplight, the driver (FX) got out of his ride, went straight towards the bus door, with his face all-red and angry. He was shouting and cursing at the bus driver. The bus driver on the other hand, just acted innocently, as if nothing happened (Bakit sir?! Anong problema??... Pasensya na... Di ko napansin...). The shouting has gotten the bus conductor 'mad', he came storming from the back of the bus going to the front asking the driver what the problem is, telling him to bring out their 'tubo'. The driver calmed him down, saying 'Wag na, bayaan mo na, maaga pa para mang-away'. O_o
And despite that encounter, they still continued with their ways. They bully they're way around other buses and vehicles. They fight for position like how basketball players fight for position against the opposing player. They speed through the narrow high-way like race cars racing through a long straight. They're like predators locking in on their targets and trying to beat the others to a single 'prey'. It's crazy.
.. i survived the ride ..
That was how it was for the whole 40-45 minutes of the ride, from Dasma to Bacoor. You can hear the driver and his side-kick laughing when they beat another bus to waiting commuters, or when they overtake another. They even compete with buses belonging to the same bus company they belong to.
I'm just wondering what these guys think while they plow the roads mindlessly everyday. I know they're just working hard to provide for their families, i know that since traffic is so bad nowadays, the only way to earn more is to get more "byahe's". But, they are doing this at the expense of safety, not only of the people inside the bus, but also of the people outside.
Good thing i am used to this kind of thing. I had been going through this kind of 'adventure' since i was in college. Luckily, nothing bad has happened to me yet while riding those buses. Anyone not used to going through that kind of 'driving' will likely get a heart attack if ever they get through one.
.. Why i wrote this ..
...is because, i will soon be going through that bus route everyday. I have to be ready for that kind of adventure again. And until i get my own ride, i have to endure that experience everyday.
If you go through that same thing everyday, then i wish you luck everyday.

"Please remove your blouse and bra," says the doctor to the young blonde, placing his stethoscope around his neck.
When she is ready, the doc says, "Big breaths."
"Yeth," she replies, "and I'm only thixthteen!"
---------------------
An Irish daughter had not been home for over five years. Upon her return, her father cursed her.
Where have ye been all this time? Why did ye not write to us, not even a line? Why didn't ye call? Can ye not understand what ye put yer old mum thru?
The girl, crying, replied, "Sniff, sniff... Dad... I became a prostitute..."
"Ye what!!? Out of here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to this family."
"OK, Dad -- as ye wish. I just came back to give mum this luxurious fur coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion plus a savings certificate for $5 million."
"For me little brother, this gold Rolex and for ye daddy, the sparkling new Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside plus a membership to the country club... (takes a breath)... and an invitation for ye all to spend New Years' Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera, and..."
"Now what was it ye said ye had become?" says dad.
Girl, crying again, "Sniff, sniff....a prostitute dad! Sniff, sniff.
"Oh! Be Jesus! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a Protestant. Come here and give yer old man a hug."

A woman is in bed with her lover, who also happens to be her husband's best friend.
They make love for hours and, afterwards, while they're just lying there, the phone rings. Since it's the woman's house, she picks up the receiver. The best friend listens, only hearing her side of the conversation:
"Hello? Oh, hi... I'm so glad that you called... Really? That's wonderful.... Well, I'm happy to hear you're having such a great time... Oh, that sounds terrific... Thanks. Okay. Bye bye."
She hangs up the telephone and her lover asks, "Who was that?"
"Oh" she replies, "That was my husband telling me all about the wonderful time he's having on his fishing trip with you."
------------
A man, whose level of drunkenness was bordering on the absurd, stood up to leave a bar and fell flat on his face.
"Maybe all I need is some fresh air," thought the man as he crawled outside.
He tried to stand up again, but fell face first into the mud.
"Screw it," he thought. "I'll just crawl home."
The next morning, his wife found him on the doorstep asleep.
"You went out drinking last night, didn't you?" she said.
"Uh, yes," he said sheepishly. "How did you know?"
"You left your wheelchair at the bar again."
--------------
A little kid asks his father, "Daddy, is God a man or a woman?"
"Both son. God is both."
After awhile the kid comes again and asks, "Daddy, is God black or white?"
"Both son, both."
"Daddy, does God love children?"
"Yes son, he loves all children."
The child returns a few minutes later and says, "Daddy, is Michael Jackson God?"

Weekend Sale and what's currently happening...
Sale last weekend sa Glorietta...
Pero, di kame nagshopping. What we bought are things that we need for our new house: cook-top, cooker hood and an iCute (google for it na lang, di ko makuha ng maayos ang link eh :-D).
Excited ako makita ang magiging itsura ng kitchen namin. Di pa ma-appreciate ung cook-top at hood habang di nakakabit eh. Yung iCute naman di pa namin nakuha, out-of-stock pa sya, 2-3 days daw before namin i-check sa dealer kung meron na.
Konting tiis na lang at matatapos na din ang bahay namin. We still need to get the first floor 'tiled', and wala pa ung kitchen top. That's what's scheduled to be done to our house next. Next to that, ung carport, then pintura na ng buong house interiors.
After that, ung appliances na. For now, the next na bibilihin namin eh, washing machine at refrigerator.
kaching! kaching! (aray ko! parang nalalaglag na barya lagi ang naririnig ko tuwing naiisip ko ang gastos sa paggawa ng bahay, pero it's ok, when all's done eh, i'm sure everything will be worth all the efforts, and all the kachings!)

Back in Manila
Back sa wakas. After 19 hours of travel time, nakarating na din kme ni misis ng Pinas. 
I told myself, finally, makakapagpahinga na kame. Makakatikim na ulit ako ng paghiga sa kama, after ng mahabang pag-upo sa eroplano.
Yun lang, ung mga in-laws ko, nung magsundo sa amin, sabi nila na matutulog sila sa Condo, kase plan nga pumunta the next day sa bahay namin sa Cavite. So instead na umuwi ulit sila sa kanila (Malanday, Valenzuela), they'll just spend the night sa condo. Kaso, maliit lang ang room dun, di kame kakasya. Kaya after dropping off our baggages sa condo, we went straight to Dasma, Cavite. So mga 12 midnight, nasa byahe kame.
Wala pang gamit sa bahay, at di pa tapos ang finishing ng interiors. So we had to take some things with us para matulugan namin. Comforter, bed sheets, floor pillows, dala namin lahat para may mahigaan kme. Buti na lang tapos na ilagay ung laminated floorings sa dalawang kwarto sa 2nd floor. Dun kame lahat nagsiksikan.
Too bad for me, wala ang comfort ng kama na inaasahan kong matitikman ko pagkatapos ng mahabang byahe na nakaupo ka lang matulog.
Pero at least, masaya pa din dahil nakita namin ang development sa bahay namin. At first time ko makatulog sa bahay ko. photo: Inside the plane just after we landed in Manila, and just before they opened the gates...

Manila here i come!
Hehehehehe... my last day in Austin. Bukas, we're leaving US thru Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. We'll do a brief stop at Narita in Tokyo, then we're back in Manila! Woohoo!!! O_o
Hehehehehe... anyway, it was fun being here. Again. Kahit na may konting "slip-ups" sa work, eh i managed to sneak out of them easily. Our counterparts here loves us being here, kase bawas talaga sa trabaho nila. And it's easier working face-to-face with them rather than communicating only through emails and occassional conference calls.
As usual, we dined out for the last time here before we leave. Lunch-out with our bosses and leads. Treat ng lolo joe ko :D. We had lunch sa McAlister Deli, famous for their sandwiches and salads.
I wonder what awaits us pagbalik namin sa condo sa Makati. Sana andun pa ang mga gamit namin. ^_^ And sana di gano naglipana ang mga "bestfriends" ko dun sa may sink area.
Buti na lang, holiday sa Monday sa Manila. At least makaka-"pahinga"(pahinga=time away from office, not "rest" o.o) kame ng konti before pumasok ulit sa opisina.
We're going to visit our house, pagbalik namin sa Pinas. We have no idea kung ano nangyari dun nitong may nagdaan na 2 bagyo. Baka binaha na ung second floor nun. Baka naubos na gamit dun. Baka nabasag na mga salamin ng bintana. O_o Wag naman sana.
Goodbye Austin... until we meet again. :D
Hello Manila... malapit na kitang muling makita. ^_^

Commentary...
- 'out of body' experience. I've never had that kind of experience. At least that's what i think. According to this article, this experience is "the sensation of being awake and seeing their own body from another location". That article also said that, kaya nilang i-simulate ung experience na yun. Pano kaya nila naiisip ung mga bagay na un? O_o
- Excuse me, I'd like to buy your B-52. So the title of the article goes. Marami akong pera, makabili nga ng B-52 Bomber. Ang cool nyang tingnan eh.
- When someone in your family dies, you grieve, you mourn and you bury them. Well, this man forgot the 'bury' part.
- This question, i want to hear the answers to. San nga ba napupunta pera ng gobyerno? Especially ung pork-barrel na yan. Pano ba gumagana un? Is it already allocated per recipient? Or is it 'for allocation' pa depending on who's planning to get their share? So if it is the first case, then the question is valid. If it is the second, then, well valid pa din ung question pero in a different context na. Basta isa yan sa mga tanong ng taongbayan na kailangang sagutin. ^_^
- May follow-up question ako dyan, kung nakuha man ng senator ung pork barrel nya, Where does the released pork barrel go? O_o
A few tidbits from my daily RSS feeds...
- A strong typhoon is better because...
- Thou shall not wear baggy pants...
- Holy cow!! ...one neck and two ears, ... four eyes, two noses and two mouths.
- Hi! My name's @. What's yours?
- Vacuum cleaner + super glue + wang = trouble

Malu Fernandez who?
I came across this article from my RSS tracker, and checked out the story. As interested as i was, i did a couple of searches and came across the "controversial" article she wrote for People Asia Magazine.
Hehehe, she did get the ire of those who she wrote against, as evidenced in this message board. Do a Google and you'll find a lot of hits about this suddenly "famous" name.
Some excerpts from the 'infamous' article:
A lesson to writers, be careful what you write about. What this lady has done, it cost her her job, and career, and reputation. So the next time you write something about someone or some other thing, keep in mind that there will always be someone who will not like what you've written.

Some excerpts from the 'infamous' article:
However I forgot that the hub was in Dubai and the majority of the OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) were stationed there. The duty-free shop was overrun with Filipino workers selling cell phones and perfume. Meanwhile, I wanted to slash my wrist at the thought of being trapped in a plane with all of them.
While I was on the plane (where the seats were so small I had bruises on my legs), my only consolation was the entertainment on the small flat screen in front of me. But it was busted, so I heaved a sigh, popped my sleeping pills and dozed off to the sounds of gum chewing and endless yelling of “HOY! Kumusta ka na? At taga san ka? Domestic helper ka rin ba?” Translation: “Hey there? Where are you from? Are you a domestic helper as well?” I thought I had died and God had sent me to my very own private hell.
On my way back, I had to bravely take the economy flight once more. This time I had already resigned myself to being trapped like a sardine in a sardine can with all these OFWs smelling of AXE and Charlie cologne while Jo Malone evaporated into thin air.Based from what other bloggers and 'comment-ers' has to say about this lady writing this kind of article just to be 'famous', i can say that she indeed did well in what she wanted. Naging sikat nga siya, though not the way you want 'famous' to be. Hehehehehehe.

Woman sets fire to ex-husband's penis
Wed Aug 22, 10:53 AM ET
Wed Aug 22, 10:53 AM ET
A woman set fire to her ex-husband's penis as he sat naked watching television and drinking vodka, Moscow police said Wednesday.
Asked if the man would make a full recovery, a police spokeswoman said it was "difficult to predict."
The attack climaxed three years of acrimonious enforced co-habitation. The couple divorced three years ago but continued to share a small flat, something common in Russia where property costs are very high.
"It was monstrously painful," the wounded ex-husband told Tvoi Den newspaper. "I was burning like a torch. I don't know what I did to deserve this."

Mitch Albom - For One More Day
The book asks, if you were given one day to meet and talk to a person from your past, who would it be? What would you want to say to that person?
'Chick' Benetto, had that chance one day, the day that he was supposed to commit suicide. His current situation has driven him to depression forcing him towards the thought of ending it all.
The rest of the story was about how he found out 'explanations' to what happened to his life, aided by the 'ghost' of his mother.
This is a very touching story of survival and realization. It talks about the importance of the role our mother has in our life. Often times we neglect that importance, we even push our moms away from our lives. And we only realize that importance, when they are already gone. And that's the only time we realize the things that we should have done or said to our mother.
This story is true, not only to our mother, or father, or any other family, but to all the things that are important to us. Small things, big things, all of them need to be valued equally. All of them are/were important in one way or another.

This story is true, not only to our mother, or father, or any other family, but to all the things that are important to us. Small things, big things, all of them need to be valued equally. All of them are/were important in one way or another.

"When its rain, its four!"
Ayan na nga, dumating na ung bagyong ilang araw na ibinabalita sa weather channel. This morning, on our way to the office, tsempo ang bagsak ng ulan. Medyo malakas, akala ko mababasag ang windshield ng kotse. Ang baba na din ng visibility dahil sa lakas ng ulan. According to the weather news, we should expect rain until tomorrow.
Ayos to, kahapon lang nasa 100°F, ngayon sobrang lakas naman ng ulan. Labo.
"When its rain, its four" talaga!
