So long and thanks for all the fish!

I'm moving all my blogging to a different site---or sites, rather. From now on, my blogs, photos, and notes will be posted.

Why?

Nothing. I just think it's time to get serious with my hobby. I love writing, taking photos and shi!t. LOL.

But I'm not abandoning multiply...of course

Parable of Time Management (repost)

One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered over-achievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz" and he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth mason jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone in the class yelled, "Yes." The time management expert replied, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" "No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!" "No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is, "If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the 'big rocks' in your life, time with loved ones, your faith, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question, "What are the 'big rocks' in my life?" Then, put those in your jar first.

Douchebag Jar

Dahil gusto kong seryosohin ko na for the first time ang new year's resolution ko, gumawa ako ng "douchebag jar". Ginaya ko yung idea sa TV Series na New Girl...na tuwing may gagawing douchebaggery si Schmidt, kailangan niyang maglagay ng $1 sa douchebag jar.

Ganun din sa akin, whenever I 1) act selfishly 2) am not being humble (ano bang opposite ng humble?)

Maglalagay ako ng----huhuhuhu----P100 sa douchebag jar (na sa totoo lang ay hindi jar).

So far wala pa akong naiisip na pag-gagamitan nung maiipon ko dun. I'm thinking of something that will not benefit me --- or something that will benefit me when I do something good---parang reward.

Gusto kong gawan ito ng sistema para maging mas effective siya.

Any suggestions?

Flashback #1

Last December 16 I recalled something that happened exactly 12 years ago. It's not really an important day. It's just a classmate's birthday. I'm not really fond of her though I find her pretty... but I remember that date clearly because it was a weird day for me. It was my first time to go to that house, yet it feels as if I've been there before. Deja'vu, as other's might call it.

Personally I just think it's a pretty accurate coincidence, because nothing significant happened.

When I was just a kid, maybe 4 or 5, I have this recurring place in my dream.

I'm standing on a big tree on the side of a road. On the bend of the road there's this house with a terrace. On the terrace there's a group of people looking down on me.

That event had no bearing whatsoever in my life.

When I first set foot on that place, I immediately recognized it and I was absentminded to the people around me the whole time---alert of my surroundings--- maybe my mind foresaw something....but nothing happened.

The first thing I wanted to check was who was on the terrace of my classmate's house. So I went up and saw no one there except for my classmates. And then I looked in front of the tree: there were kids playing in front of the tree.

......

Wala lang gusto ko lang magsulat. Hango sa totoong pangyayari yan...at hindi pawang gawa gawa lamang. XP

Nakakailang post na ako sa facebook, multiply at twitter pero feeling ko hindi ko pa rin naisusulat lahat ng gusto kong isulat. Pagkatapos nito, may isusulat uli ako. Maghanda sa bahang gagawin ko... >:)

Rise of the pedobears

Pagkakaalam ko, ang evolution libo-libo hanggang milyong taon ang inaabot. Pero meron akong napapansing adaptation/evolution ng mga tao na nangyari in less than 20 years:

Anlalaki na ng mga bata ngayon!!!

Kahapon, habang naghihintay na magupitan may nakita akong 'teenager' na medyo may itsura. When I realized na sobrang layo ng age gap...I sighed and resumed sa paglalaro ko sa cellphone ko. Bigla siyang tumayo at pumunta sa counter na nasa tabi ko. Nang magsalita siya, I realized kung gaano talaga siya ka-bata based sa boses niya: anak ng~.....nasa 8-12 lang!!! @__@

DEFUQ

I can't believe I just checked out a 10-ish girl. Di ako makapaniwala sa size nung bata...halos kasing tangkad ko....plus naka-strap high heels (ganun ba ang tawag dun??). If you saw her...I promise you wouldn't even think of judging me. Ugh. 10 year old. really.

The voices in my head didn't judge me either... maikukumpara mo yung eksena sa utak ko sa Mission Control ng Apollo 13 na nagkakagulo.

It's not the first time that this happened...pero first time na ganito kalala. Yung iba mga 15 na napagkamalan kong 20++... although mas malaki yung gap ng [akala ko] 18, [yun pala ay] 10 kumpara sa 15,20++ ....iba pa rin talaga pag bata...as in bata na yung pinag-uusapan.

I don't think there's any problem with me. Once I know that the age is inappropriate, wala na yun. It's just that they're just really getting bigger and the way that they dress is ---IMHO---- inappropriate for their age.

Napatunayan ko yung punto ko nung nakita ko kung gaano kakapal nung make-up nung nanay(?) niya----parang quarry site ng violet make-up.

I don't know who's to blame: yung parents ba, yung generation, yung 'uso' or what...

Ewan ko...basta ang alam ko hindi ako pedobear....XP

Kwentong Kutsero

Sobrang nakakatamad talaga siguro ng trabaho na pagiging Taxi Driver.

Tuwing sumasakay ako ng taxi, merong kuwentong dala yung driver. Kadalasan tungkol sa traffic --duh-- minsan umaabot hanggang sa pulitika. Mabuti pa yung mga security guard, sila, kahit papaano, nakakakwentuhan yung mga may nilalakong paninda. Samantalang ang mga taxi driver, naka-aircon nga, pero wala naman silang makausap----hanggang sa may sumakay.

Ang kwento kagabi ni manong, maliban sa traffic ay yung hirap ng buhay ngayon. Naikwento nya na hindi pa raw siya pwedeng umuwi kasi kulang pa rin ang kita niya sa buong araw. Ala-una na ng madaling araw nung sumakay ako sa taxi niya. Pagkatapos daw, kinabukasan ng alas diyes, may trabaho pa uli siya. Hindi ko lang alam kung taxi pa rin---malamang hindi, base sa pagkakasabi niya nung sentence.

Hindi ako nakipagkwentuhan sa driver sa pagkakataon na yun kagabi. Antok na antok na rin kasi ako at kailangan ng makauwi dahil dumadami na naman yung late ko.
