DAVID SCHWIMMER A.K.A. DR. ROSS GELLER

DEV PATEL A.K.A. JAMAL MALIK (i dunno why it is underlined)

eh!?!? what do you think?

time to be positive...

my last posts have been filled with very infuriating comments on some events that has managed to piss me off... i am saddened by that fact but i am now finally back to my happy mode...

lola nita (my grandma from seattle) stayed with us for three days and it made me really happy. i like having her here.. she makes me feel good about life. she is very optimistic and appreciative. i really like her. she is such a nice person and she told me i'm a good kid.. hehe... i would like to keep it that way... i'm not being plastic, i just like the fact she saw my good side.. ;-)

so my mom and i took her and lola meny to glorietta and greenbelt cause she has not been there since she got here so we ate in cabalen and we bought some tagalog movies and some clothes for lola rommy... then i went to kish's party but i went home around 11... i don't want her too think i stay out til the morning.. hehe..

i'll finish my clearance either tom or wed since i wasn't able to surrender my car sticker last friday...


SIDE NOTE:

I'M ADDICTED TO ZELDA AGAIN... i just finished the dungeon part so i freed one of the lights... anyway, i only play in the morning... i get creeped out at night for some reason... hahaha!

another jumbler

ok, turns out not evertything in men of honor is real...





HOLLYWOOD IS PISSING ME OFF BIG TIME..





HAAAAAYYYY...

TO ALL THE FAKE BIOGRAPHY MOVIE DIRECTORS, I'M INDIGNANT AS A MOVIE-GOER!!!!!!!!!!

i happen to like watching biographies... who hasn't watched of pursuit of happyness (chris gardner)? men of honor (carl brashere [pardon, i'm not sure of the spelling])?

well, i just found out after reading the pursuit of happyness that the movie WAS REALLY EXAGGERATED... i watched the movie for so many times already and all along i thought everything in it was real!! WTF!? i mean come on! put a disclaimer or something! i feel deceived... i'm indignant as a viewer!!

some stuff that aren't true:
1.) he was not part of an unpaid internship! he was paid 1k USD a month during the training program... they also accept everyone who passes the license test... YEAH! SO MUCH FOR DEAN WITTER COMPETITIVE INTERNSHIP!
2.) he was not hit by a car!
3.) he did spend 13 days in jail for failure to pay parking tickets but he did not go straight to his interview after jail... he had a day to prepare but his wife took all his stuff with his son...
4,) his son was with his mom during his first four months as a trainee.
5.) he actually did drugs... sorry... i really thought he was all righteous...
6.) he left his wife for his mistress for the amazing sex and he got her pregnant...
7.) he did not use his savings to buy and sell bone density scanners... he actually made 30k USD a year being a salesman...
8.) he actually finished his work full-time... he did not have to leave early for christopher... he wasn't so disadvantaged... work-wise...
9.) he did not have an appointment with this walter guy who took him to the 49ers game....
10.) the reason he got accepted in the interview is because of his common experience of being left by his girl with the head of the company...




there were a lot more stuff that i would no longer list down...





at first, i thought they only took out the really bad stuff... like being beat by his stepfather and being raped at 13.. for a second there i thought he suffered more... i mean he suffered a lot but the movie was toooooooo exaggerated!!








i mean come on! don't claim it's based on a true story when you jumbled the story!!! LIKE A LOT OF JUMBLING WAS DONE!!!









the movie tricked me into believing that whole movie was true... that was even the reason why i went to IEP... and now i found out that IT WAS SO MEGA OVERLY DISTORTED!?!?!?!? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO REACT!!!!










it is almost no different from The Da Vinci Code book... it mixes reality with fiction to make it all the more dramatic, convincing, powerful... and what we have is a blockbuster and PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THESE THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!!!









PUH-LEASE!!!! PUT DISCLAIMERS SAYING THAT THE STORY IS NOT THE EXACT THING!!! THAT HOLLYWOOD EXAGGERATED IT TO DRAW AUDIENCE AND FLUIDITY IN THE MOVIE!!!!!













I HATE THIS!!!!!! NOW I GOTTA RESEARCH ON CARL TO MAKE SURE I GET THE FACTS RIGHT!!!!!!! I GOTTA RESEARCH ON BIOGRAPHY MOVIES I MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT TO BE GIVING ME FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!






















THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hooked up on a lot of things...

ok, i stopped playing zelda for a while... there was a time wherein my eyes turned really red after playing for 9 hours in a day so i thought i should lay back first... and i was starting to imagine twilight creatures in our hallway so i thought break muna... hehe...

anyway, i have these pending books to read:
1.) Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist
2.) The Snowball Effect: Warren Buffett
3.) The Millionaire Code
4.) Buffettology
5.) The Little Book that Beats the Market

i am 75% done with book number 1, 10% done with book #2, 2% done with book #4 and i have not opened the other books.

after watching pursuit of happyness for the nth time yesterday, i thought i should get a copy of the book version... kinda like what i did with the last lecture (though this was not a movie)... however, i could not find a copy in the bookstores so i just downloaded an e-book.. it ain't right but how else could i get a hold of a copy legally eh?

NOTE TO THE PUBLISHER:

please be more conscientious in providing copies to people so you don't lose money!



ok, i'll finish pursuit of happyness first before i finish buffett's books... his story turns out to be worse than the one portrayed in the movie because they skipped his childhood and his son turned out to be 19 months old amidst his job search... so yeah... it's more depressing by tenfold... anyway, i should probably read it already... i think i could finish the book today. i read it for two hours yesterday and i have covered 76 pages out of 370 or so pages...



i'll also watch forrest gump... i got myself a copy yesterday...

no side notes on this one...

he's a tracker... the hunt is his obsession....

ok. i am in the middle of my most exciting hunt ever! well, just take out the exciting part. it is not exciting.


so i went on job hunting a couple of days ago and i did not do that well... things could have really been way better... anyway, i messed up an interview i had with *toot*. i don't think i should name any company.... anyway, everything felt awkward. i knew she did not like me from the start (if you guys haven't met me yet, a lot of people say i have an aura). so anyway, the interview went this way:

INTERVIEWER: what position are you applying for?
ME: i don't really know.. i just went here to give my resume cause my friend went here a week ago for an interview so i thought i should give my resume as well. what openings do you have?
INTERVIEWER: hmmm... (thinking) well, for your background, i think you can be a researcher or administrative staff. are you interested in that?
ME: ok, i think that sounds good.
INTERVIEWER: what is your expected salary?
ME: well, i'm not really expecting much for a fresh grad. and my expected salary would be different from my desired salary... so i guess 15k would be ok...
INTERVIEWER: what if i tell you that most fresh graduates in your field gets way below than 15k?
ME: (oh GOD! keeping a straight face) well, how low is low?
INTERVIEWER: well, it depends kung saang company ka mapupunta. i can't really say...
ME: it's ok.
INTERVIEWER: you're graduating in june?
ME: yes. those who finished early would graduate with those who have summer classes because we only have around 200 or so graduates. it would be quite expensive for us to have two graduations...
INTERVIEWER: I understand. Well, there is not that much demand as of the moment for the position you're applying for... and well, we need your transcript and diploma so I guess, you could contact us in june so you could take the test. it is quite impractical for you to take the test now.. so please contact us in june na lang...
ME: ok... thank you...













and then,













i left the room....





it was really awkward....









and i realized, the interview was not done yet. but why wouldn't she stop me from leaving the room? (even the people i talked to afterwards said i left in the middle of the interview) it was terrible! i didn't know what to do....









so i talked to my sister's friend, Kuya Bong yesterday and he told me how to go about my hunt and how i should handle myself in interviews.... it was interesting, he said you could go for the lion's crawl or something like that... i really learned a lot! so i asked my sis to give him a small token i got for him yesterday as a thank you...









MAIN POINT: life is about selling. AND I AGREE!!!




THANK YOU!






this post is senseless....






AND I AGREE!!







SIDE NOTE:

to the interviewer: i am terribly sorry for what happened. i know you found me obnoxious and arrogant. i really thought it was over when you told me to just give you a call in june.. i did not intend to make any disrespectful gesture... i am terribly sorry. if we cross paths again, i would apologize to you personally...




AND ONCE AGAIN, you probably won't read this, thank you kuya bong! =)



i got blisters in my feet because i walked all over buendia, ayala and makati ave...








in formal attire. WOOT! i have been sending out e-mails as i recuperate from my foot injury...

ZELDA is the SHIT

ok... i'm really addicted to this game... i always get stuck midway though... doesn't say much about my intuition... so i downloaded a walkthrough so i could just look at it when i'm not sure what to do next... MAN! I LOVE THIS GAME!

SIDE NOTE:

ate mc just got back from her quezon trip yesterday and she was really, really dark... for once, i feel like i'm not the only dark one in the family...

Grabe! si dora nasa pilipinas na! hahahahaha! i'll take a pic of her when i get the chance...

so i made this joke yesterday:
ate len! san na si ate mc? aba! nauna pa umuwi si dora! hahaha! *you should really be there to appreciate the wit*


ok, i'll go back to zelda....

fishing....

so it said, it really takes a while and if the bobbler goes down, it means a fish took the bait so hold up the wii remote until it says fish on and just hope that link would be able to reel it in real good....







HAAAAYYYY.... IF I'M SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS, THE FOLLOWING STUFF BETTER BE GOOD CAUSE I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME SO FAR.....




SIDE NOTE:

why the hell was i singing love story earlier?




cause presly's so into it?...




cause it is jav's ringback?





'nuff said...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess makes me look like a moron!!

i have never been the rpg guy.. i mean, i literally hated final fantasy and there was this other game wherein this guy has an alter ego something that i stopped playing... the problem with rpgs is they give me a headache because i have a hard time controlling the character... you go on running in circular directions... it gives me a headache...














and i rarely have patience for long games. these are the reasons why i enjoyed fighting games, nba live, and nfl











i am literally stuck in call of duty 4 in this certain stage so i stopped playing it and now i am playing zelda...












and sadly it makes me look like a moron.... REALLY!












it took me a while to realize that i could use the eagle to get the crib from the stupid monkey... but now i'm stuck trying to get the fish....












a freaking FISH!!!!!!!!













WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





ok, i'll look online for tips on how to get the fish....





SIDE NOTE:

the only rpg game that i finished is harry potter in the ps1... i know.. how sad.... and geeky....

the closest cool rpg game that i finished was pokemon in nintendo gameboy... and it was only cool cause everybody else was playing it...

is it just me or does rodney stuckey look a lot like floyd mayweather look? REALLY!!

ok i don't have that much time in my hands right now... but do you think these two look a like?

i happen to think they look a lot similar... check out these pictures and observe...

Floyd Mayweather - 5-division champion who is yet to lose (i wanna see him fight PACMAN and HE WILL MOST PROBABLY HAVE HIS RECORD TAINTED... FINALLY!)


Rodney Stuckey - starting point guard for the pistons. he replaced chauncey when they traded him for AI (who was taken out of the rotation.... i hope AI gets signed by another team next season)

so honestly, do they look a like? i'm not being racist at all here. i just think they look similar... i wonder of they're like second cousins or something...




what do you guys think?

pwede na ulit kumain ng meat... YEY!

GRANDE ISLAND SUCKS AND I"M OFFICIALLY BOYCOTTING THAT RESORT!!

well, presly, cat, mia, nadine and i went to subic two days ago... we went to grande island (which was a BIG, BIG MISTAKE) and ocean adventure (which was awesome). we have a couple of pics and vids but i won't post 'em yet. i won't even blog about our fun trip together since i'm not yet in the mood (as i am currently suffering from the molar tooth extraction i got yesterday). anyway, grande island pretty much ripped us off and since i am not getting a reply from management, i thought it would be nice to share my grievance to the online community. here's a copy of the complaint letter that i sent to their management:

April 08, 2009

To Whom It May Concern,

I alongside four of my friends stayed in your resort from April 6-7, 2009. When we got to the seaport, we were immediateely asked to pay prior to our visit to the resort. We were informed that the two packages available are as follows:

Php 1,650 - accomodation, three meals, one banana boat ride, free use of volleyball and other stuff... we would however have to pay for the use of ATVs, kayak, raft, etc.

Php 2,200 - accomodation, three meals, unlimited use of banana boat, ATV (15 min intervals), towable rides, kayak, raft, etc...

Upon our arrival, we were quite happy with how the manager received us since he was friendly UNTIL the personnel in charge informed us that the watersports amenities (raft, kayaks, etc.) were not available because they do not work. What made this disappointing is the fact that we inquired in the seaport if all of these amenities are available and they said yes. The explanation given to us in the front desk is the personnel in charge of the watersports did not make any mention of broken gagdets, therefore they may have been saying it is working even if it is not. Another dismaying excuse is the fact that the use of rides are subject to availability. Given that a lot of people are on vacation because it is summer and holy week is approaching, we were amenable that we would fall in line when there are people waiting to use the rides. HOWEVER, the fact that they are claimed to be NOT WORKING means that the sales department SHOULD HAVE NOT INFORMED US THAT WE WOULD HAVE UNLIMITED USE OF THESE RIDES FOR THE Php 2,200 PACKAGE. HOW CAN WE USE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WORKING? We thought it would be JUST FAIR for us to ask for a refund of Php 550 per person the following day because what was PROMISED in the Php 2,200 package were NOT AVAILABLE DURING OUR STAY but the front desk personnel said it is not possible for them to do it. And since the manager is out until 5 PM, we had nobody to address our concern to. I think this is really UNJUST because the customers did not get what they paid for. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING... The personnel claimed that the only thing they could do is to address this concern so that it would not happen in the future. To be honest, most businesses would give free souvenirs or freebies to compensate for their shortcomings. Management did not do any form of compensation. To make things worse, 2 hourse after the incident, when we got back to the seaport, we asked the personnel regarding the available packages and they still said the exact same thing DESPITE the complaint we gave.

Earlier in the resort, I asked for a customer satisfaction survey which the personnel said was not available. It is hardly believable but to address this concern, I wrote a handwritten complaint and they said I could also said an e-mail regarding this VERY DISMAL event. I do not know how long this complaint will go and if your management will do anything to resolve this issue (considering it still persists) but this is the least that I could do.

Truly,

Bien Landicho



sorry for the possible typos because i did not proof read the letter.


ALWAYS REMEMBER, GRANDE ISLAND SUCKS SO DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY THERE!!!!

so it is Php 11,000 down the drain for us in grande island but i enjoyed ocean adventure and the company of my great, great friends! FRIENDS FOR LIFE! =)

SIDE NOTE:
oh! and we also went to duty-free for pasalubong and to buy stuff that are not available in manila (e.g. craisins).. did you guys know the products sold there would expire within a month after purchase? i'm currently eating pringles spicy guacamole that would expire in may 2009.. hehe..

oh i believe in yesterday....

ok... so yesterday did not turn out to be the best day but it was actually quite fun! we planned to have the sushi buffet in sakae sushi but things sort of got delayed and when i was finally on my way to The Fort, the car won't start. the battery sort of got discharged. i think i might have left the headlights on... so i told my dad i'll just take a cab but he insisted everything'll be fine so... hmmm i don't know the term, pinatulak yung car para magstart yung ignition? basta yun! the battery recharges while it's on so i thought everything's gonna be alright or so i thought... you guys know what's coming!

when i reached the fort, i sort of got lost on my way to sakae cause it is in a secluded area near s&r and i took a wrong turn. so when i was about to call cat, i parked in the side and i forgot to put the car in neutral and when i stopped, the engine died....














and it wouldn't start....... =(













SHIT! so i put the car on hazzard, got out and sort of looked like a hitch hiker asking cabs and private cars to help me out. charge my battery, push the car and stuff...













NOBODY heeded my call... WOOT! so, i noticed there was a construction site to my right and i waved at the foreman and he sent five workers to help me out! after which, i emptied my pocket... i wanted to give them all the change i had (and i do keep a lot of coins in my pocket) but they refused to accept it. probably one of the many heartwarming gestures i ever had. so i told nadine i 'll just drop by to say hi and i'll go straight home... presly then said, just meet us in serendra. we'll eat there. so i decided to go home.. couldn't turn off the engine anymore otherwise it won't start again. i was very nervous on my way home cause if the engine dies, i dunno where i could ask for help and i did not want to text my dad cause i don't want to get him worried....





i finally made it home-accident free! yey! and then presly said we could still eat dinner in sakae (oh! they're closed from 2-7pm so they missed sakae as well)... so they wanted to pick me up from my place but the directions were kind of hard to understand... so i told them i'll just meet them there...







lo and behold, the car started again and it was fine! my dad said it probably recharged already on my way home.... so i picked up my sis, brought her home and went straight to the fort where i'll be pissed off with my friend. hehe... there was a misunderstanding but at the end of the day we're ok... =) right?








so as if the day has not been effed up for us, turns out the sushi buffet is only available on weekends! and we don't really like sakae unless it's sushi buffet... no ala cartes please! so we decided to go to el pueblo (from the fort) to eat where mia and i would get lost(we took the wrong lane)! wooot! we were already in pateros! hahahahaha! we just kept on driving til we saw lanuza ave and that was the start of the smile. we just went to city golf and ate in uncle moe's.... one of the best shawarmas ever! and then i brought mia home and i got home around 1140... walang traffic! went back to the fort first to try out the buendia exit! hehehehe=)










we're off to subic tom! YEY! and there are problems with transportation... dad won't let me drive to subic cause he said the cars are too fast... =(



so it's either cat's driver or commute for us now.... my dad recommended the ferry that goes to corregidor and then we could take an FX to subic... haaayyyy......











anyway, i feel like i became stronger because of what happened yesterday... first time ko magstart ng ignition sa tulak ever! WOOOOOT! *applause*

and another lesson is to always check your headlights!





SIDE NOTE:
i told my dad, di ka ba proud na start ko yung ignition sa tulak?

he said, sus! kasimple nun eh!



hahaha! thanks a lot! =)
