sometimes it takes more than shouting to release pent-up stress.
last week i had to holler out expletives to the shock of my officemates.
i hate to rant but sometimes my work is just crazy mind-boggling and
draining at the same time.
if you think your job's toxic, you're very welcome to try mine.

NE on my mind
i'm back after 2 consecutive days of fever and colds after a long drive to the seemingly endless farmlands of nueva ecija for an event.
after this arduous journey, this is what i learned:
1) no matter who you are, people won't give a shit. they will continue doing what they're doing like dry palay on the street so you've don't have a place to drive on.
2) if you think you're sad, think about the people who live in Talavera, Nueva Ecija.
all they see are farms, their carabaos, endless ricestalks, the dirt road's a plenty, there's nothing to do, there's no nightlife either.
3) with the rapid branching out of Jollibee, there will be a time when you're looking for local specialties, all you can find it is Jollibee or worst, Chowking.
4) a lot of the provincial folks are camwhores. they will gamely pose for you. that's how friendly Filipinos are.
5) all it takes is one left jab to shut a noisy, boogered bloody Briton up and it took just 2 rounds and a tons of commercial breaks in between.
6) Pacquiao can stop crime.
7) The time you leave is directly proportional to the traffic that you will expect once you're in Manila. So don't leave early, traffic's going to bad anyway.
8)Never underestimate somebody from the province. Some of them make more money than you in the city do.

this week in disses and likes
I diss...
the weather
the heat and the afternoon rain is a sure combination for the flu
the price of the cinemas in MOA
what makes them so special? greenbelt has better sound
and seats and you charge the same price? this is sm for godsakes
T2
I can't believe I paid 170 bucks for this turd, well it's not entirely crappy all the way. What started as a scary opus turned out to be fantasy crap.
the convoluted storyline plus casting carmen soo as an engkanto didn't help either.
and this movie raked in 70 million,wow?
the cops and the media in the Ted Failon case
they're so irresponsible in giving out too many details of the investigation
they arrested the relatives for questioning while the victim is on the brink of death
this sums it up for plice treatment in the Phils.
The media particularly, ABS-CBN was too one-sided on this one.
the cops weren't even able to explain their action.
a little bit too defensive on ted perhaps?
I have read that the victim's relatives were uncooperative with the cops, hence the "treatment." honestly, everybody's a loser here. Sad how low some people can go in the interest of ratings. Don't forget the KSP lapdogs of the govt. who also had a hand in making this case a circus.
Korina Sanchez
the way she tagalizes English words, your effort in helping the Pinoys understand is good. but She makes me squirm everytime she mentions "sincero" or "efficiente" Why don't you just use Tagalog. Sa tingin ko naman naiintindihan ng mga tao ano ibig sa bihin ng sincere and efficient, di ba?
Nike happy place in Rufino Tower
few stocks here and there, its not the same old happy place we know
Greenwich John Lloyd and Bea tvc soundtrack
Using Odette Queseda's Friend of Mine was a soundtrack for cheesiness was unneccessary. Plus its Odette, she's like the greatest OPM composer ever.
I like...
Amici's Gelato
a tub (1 kilo, i think) is just 400 bucks or 50 per scoop
it tastes good, and all the varieties are just savory good
Mickey's has good gelato too although it's more expensive
Red Cliff
This is indeed John Woo's recent masterpiece. The scenes are spectacular and although the writers had a free hand in tweaking historical figures and facts, the epic turned out great. This is China's answer to Lord of the Rings. Military strategy is amazing. Catch it on DVD.
Arnold Clavio and Mike Enriquez
Arnold's Air Hour idea is funny, witty and should be taken seriously. Imagine politicians not talkiing for one hour? They might as well not breathe. Although I miss Arnold and Ali's jeng-jeng segment. It's great to hear Arnold make a cameo on Mike's show.
Adidas new Greenbelt megastore
i love, love, love space.
Globe broadband Tattoo tvc
very, very tastefully done. Kudos to Stephen and the agency
the tattoos looked amazing, congrats ricci chan

weather-weather
the weather has gone bonkers.
after days of the scorching sun,
it now rains during the summer season.
its not that i'm complaining,
i'd savor a few drops from the April rain.
But i heard from the radio there was hail in Cagayan?
Wow, that's new!
And as expected, PAGASA blames the Intertropical Convergence Zone for this phenomenon. When all else fails, point your fingers on the the super vague.
Your fall guy. The usual suspect. Intertropical Convergence Zone. What a word.

American Idol needs Midol
dahil one year na ang blog site ko
shet di na ako magpapaka wholesome,
pagkakaila ko ba pagkajologs ko?
so simula ngayon no holds barred na
its my site anyway.
I honestly think American Idol is getting boring and
overrated. Maglokohan pa tayo e obvious namang si Danny Gokey
ang mananalo. Ano kamo? Allison has a chance? Uhm malabo...
hello di puti yun. Yes she's talented but... i don't think she'll win.
Yung bulag? Iisa lang style niya kulang siya sa depth.
Adam? An emo winner?... Shet!!!
If you notice the contestants this year are quite bloody bland.
Yep and adding Kara is cute but they just made the selection process longer.
I suggest they just fire Paula Abdul since she doesn't talk sense anyway.
Lagi siyang lutang.
Sadly, the show is slowly losing its charm. There's no point in getting excited anymore. And yeah that Anne Curtis Greenwich tvc is really irritating.

Let's Go Beach-ing at Laiya!
to escape from office stress,
we went to Laiya San Juan, Batangas last,last week.
we were booked at Balai sa Laiya, about 4 hours drive from the city.
we spent like Php 2,050 per head inclusive of 4 meals and accommodations.
great deal.
the rooms were comfortable and breezy enough with rattan beds and
there was hot shower.
the food though, was surprisingly spectacular and served buffet style.
i enjoyed my stay and absolutely recommend this place.
want to go back soon.
i already posted some of the pics at my multiply site
but here are some of the shots i like.
Taste the legend
The Legend Restaurant
got stuck in massive traffic last Saturday.
but i wouldn't miss the food in this place.
the servings are generous and food is really good,
but not last saturday, the food was too salty.
nevertheless i still enjoyed.
Their sweet and sour lapu-lapu is to die for.
Check out my pics.
