It's been so long and I've done much introspection today to make me want to drop my wiimote, get my Macbook, login to live journal and update. (i put in the brand names for a purpose)

I've been using the mac for almost a year now and i would say that i love it. i love it more than windows now, although I've never really loved windows. i always felt i had to work on her so much to make her work properly. i even put on make up all the time to make her beautiful. Mac though, comes out of the box fully functional and ready for my love. And although i sorta abused her, she only had a fit with me once. unlike my previous computer.

ok so introspection. i don't know how to write anymore, although i've never really had, but i'd like to think i did. it builds up my self-esteem. i believe i progressed in my life in terms of achieving my goals. i now have money. no sorry, i had money before, but now i can buy things. i can buy things that i want. i can just get my card, swipe it somewhere and they hand me back my shiny baubles. it was a magical thing. i felt my buying muscles growing as i kept swiping. it was addicting, and bad. now, i'm back to where i started. being poor.

I work 7 days a week for two jobs, and due to my status as a non-immigrant worker, my salary is nothing to boast of. i'm paying for loans i acquired from my frenzy of independence and consumer prowess. i have learned my lesson. i stifled back my complaints and carried my load silently. but in my heart the pain is taking root to make me remember.

I'm almost out of it now, and with new grander goals, i have the knowledge from my problems to help me reach it. I'm managing things better and with a steadier hand. i have new friends that help me and a simpler life to lead. I needed to drop a lot of baggage, but I would say things are better.

I'm programming for this software company, and at the same time, helping my friends give birth to a another company. my numbers are looking better and i'm spending my time like it's worth something. So hello friends! i think i'm back. someone welcome me.

First of May

by Jonathan Coulton

I woke up this morning
I had a scone and a large house blend
And then a little conversation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends
I said I’m sick and tired of winter
And I wish that it was spring
And then a little fellow named Robin Redbreast
Began to sing

And he sang
Ooh ooh child, what’d you think the cold winter’s gonna last forever?
Ooh ooh child, now’s the time for all the people to get together
Outside

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay
The water’s not cold baby dip in your big toe
Maybe I’ll see you in flagrante delicto
Grass below you, sky above
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside

I thanked him for the information
I cried a little when he flew away
I watched an episode of The People’s Court
And I tried to plan my day
I called up my old lady
She wasn’t home so I called my girl
I asked her if she’d like to join me as I
Entertain the world

And I said
Ooh ooh child, I’ll bring a blanket and I promise I will brush the ants off
Ooh ooh child, you’re gonna like it when we’re taking each other’s pants off
Outside

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay
The water’s not cold baby dip in your big toe
Maybe I’ll see you in flagrante delicto
Grass below you, sky above
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside

So we went to the park together
We were walking in the midday sun
We met all kinds of people and we
We fucked everyone
We fucked a lady who sells ice cream
We fucked a man with a tan Shar Pei
Everyone who needed fucking well they
They got fucked today

So come on
Ooh ooh child, open your mind and your heart, feel the spirit moving through you
Ooh ooh child, you’ll feel the warmth of the love when I stick it to you
Outside

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay
The water’s not cold baby dip in your big toe
Maybe I’ll see you in flagrante delicto
Grass below you, sky above
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside

iPhoneWhen I first heard about what Nintondo Wii is, I got goosebumps all over. I even had an inner sense of happyness days after just learning it exists in the world today. With this new Uber Gadget, I convulsed in tech-gasmic pleasure when Stevie showed in his keynote the new Apple iPhone. i cannot believe such a thing is out in the market. I don't know what to do with myself now. It's amazing in the smart things it can do and sense on its own I just know it will be like my new best friend the MacBook Pro. It has only one button on its face cause it uses a super touch sensitive trackpad the looks responsive enough as Steve Jobs wen through his demo. It has a hefty price tag though at $499 and available on June for US and 2008 for Asia.

On another note, MIT offers some of their courses for free!

Damnit!

I finally am able to configure my MAC to connect to a windows printer share. Shit! nobody could have found that out easily.

WHat you have to do is press the alt key when adding the printer button and choose the "Windows Samba Share" option. now for the address it needs to be of this format smb://username:password@host/share/

Took me a while to find that out.

And I am now a programmer. After years of staying away from it, it PULLS ME BACK IN!

I would like to thank most of all God for giving me stuff... like everything and also my family, most especially those that donated a hefty sum to the Mac for Albert fund, and made it successful, and also Apple, for lowering their prices on a perfectly good Mac, which was 2.5 grand which I got for just 65% of the original price

Macbook Pro is mine!

Your Penis Name Is...

Captain Kirk


well... I used to call him Mr. Snuffleupagus

Who can guess correctly the name of Mr. Snuffleupagus in Sesame Street? No Googling!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh oh! We started talking again. We might get back together.

Here I am again in a weird melancholic state, homesickness kicking in BIG time and right smack in the middle of a break-up. Even the Jagged sword of sarcasm and Morningstar of wit +2 is not really doing anything for it. I realized that I can never feel the same warmth and comfort my home back in Marikina swaddles me in. This place where I am right now, although full of relatives and still comfortable, is not the same sanctuary I have lived in for the past 24 years of my life. This place is so filled with so many things I do not know of. Back home, I know every little misplaced item, furniture and carpet stain like the scary stories us neighborhood children tell each other back when brownouts were a daily occurrence. I still use these scary stories whenever the topic of conversation turns toward the paranormal, with extra twists and embellishments ofcourse. I look around the Marikina home almost like in 4-D, I can recall images of a given space stretching 20 years back. I remember the transitions our living room had as the size of the TV screen got bigger or the distribution of rooms as the number of people living there dwindled from a full sized 11 to a lonely 3. At one time, I had 3 bedrooms to choose from, and pick which one to sleep in for the night. I guess the question now is will we ever be together again?

I would really love to be with her for the rest of my life, and willing to make huge sacrifices to make that come true. But alas, I found out her resolve and willingness to push it farther was not the same as my own. It may be that to her, what I did was something that cannot be forgiven, if so then she’s definitely not the one. But who knows, maybe she knows about how hard it is for me, or that she has reached her limit herself and can’t continue further… the main thing is, she will not work with me anymore and I agree. So that’s that, another life unlived, another dream unrealized and two hearts broken.
