simpsonize me!

i'm simpsonized!

i've found this site that automatically generates your uploaded image into a simpsons character. hey the algorithm is not perfect, and you have to tweak your image a little bit. i have no complains 'coz it's free! one thing is the site takes a bit of your time to load coz it's running on flash, or just maybe the tons of traffic that it has to cope with.

i haven't watched simpsons yet. maybe sometime this week.

PISAY the Movie

OMG! it's real! the "intellectual" jokes that we used to have about 7 years ago now on a big screen! grabe nostalgic nga! the geeky glasses, the celebration with mothers nung malaman na pumasa ang anak, makikipag-away sa mga contest judges, ang "noli me tanggere" plays, ang famous lab gown, ang mga "intellectual" normal conversations... naku it will be imprinted on the film history. hahaha. watch the trailer, or better yet, watch the film (cinemalaya entry). post kayo reply sama kayo manood hehehe. sabi nga sa kabilang blog: "eto na siguro ang filipino high school movie na hinde nakaka-bobo" hahahaha! tapos nito nood kayo ng "First Day High"!

from Cinemalaya:
"Amidst the chaos of Martial Law in this Third World country in the 1980s, six teenagers in the top high school for the sciences discover themselves as they go through the joys and pains of adolescence. They were the top two hundred students from all over the Philippines who passed the examination for the Philippine Science High School, which was created for the purpose of giving an education highly enriched in the Sciences to exceptionally gifted Filipino children. Selected from the best and brightest from all over the country, they endure college-level courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics from their sophomore year onwards. Those who can make it are hailed as the future science and technology leaders of the New Republic, those who don't are deemed unfortunate victims of natural selection. They all learn however that they are neither isolated from the real world, nor are they exempted from living real lives. They find the world outside, erupting into the People Power revolution in 1986 against the Marcos dictatorship, being replicated within the school as they struggle to graduate, contend with teachers, classmates, family, school officials, and a new classification to segregate students meeting the high standards of excellence from those who do not."

"mas madaling ma-consume... ganoon kasi ang pakiramdam ko eh"

NYAHAHAHAHAHA! it's so pisay!

24

today is a normal day for everybody else, but for me, it is a day of me being selfish in a good way. for the next few hours, my focus would be on myself, and how would i make the best out of this day.

while i'm a little groggy from lack of sleep from last night, i find myself here at starbucks, UAP, at 645am. "coding ako pag tuesdays". it's too early for me to think about work or other plans. i'm focusing now on this entry at this moment, despite of the UAP students around me "studying", or at least trying their best to get starting with their studies.

oh how i miss the college days where i could just don't get up out of bed every 10th of july. but still, being a professional has its perks.

i have been wondering lately on how my 24 years of existence turned out to be. i've been a good son (i think), a student, a reliable kuya to my still-in-college little brothers and sisters, a micro-entrepreneur, and had 2 SIGNIFICANT jobs. i've always wondered what would happened to me if i didn't go to this high school, or transferred to that university, or tried to be with this person. i never really thought about what i could have been and what may i become until these past few days. all that i could say that i, so far, had led a pretty fair life. not a bad one, at least good at the best.

this is one of the few days where i could want anything in my life, even if there's no possibility for me to have it. it's my wishful thinking day, while the remaining 364 days in the year, i, most of the time, think about how would other people be happy.

i am happy. it is a good start for the day. text messages came in as early as 12am to greet me. other than the lack of sleep and breakfast and my internet connection (which is P2.00 a minute, darn you GLOBE!!!), i'm looking forward to a great day. well, no one should expect any blowout for me, coz i'm kinda broke today, and if you're one of those "pa-blowout" type, well, you kinda missed it. i'm looking forward to my friends greetings, my teammate's and batchmate's "palibre" hirit, a P500 gift certificate from the company i'm working for, and a nice dinner with someone i miss.

today, there's a lot of things that i want to wish for. a PS3, nintendo wii, psp, nintendo ds, motorola rokr e6. those material things that i could not do anything but wish. well, of course i wish to be exceptionally happy for today, and i wish that the people that matter to me remember me even for a second. and if i were to wish a selfish wish, i wish that i could feel somewhat important for everybody for at least a day, that i could be pampered by the people whom i cared so much.

oh yeah, i wish for world peace (seriously).

today is my day. i am happy. it's my birthday.

happy birthday to me.

office stuff

now that i'm out of training and currently deployed in a project, i now have my personal space... err... workplace in the office. no cubicle-type, just a plain old, 1.5mx0.5m long desk and a three drawer pedestal. for someone who just need a computer to do his job, there's an awfully alot of space to fill. maybe that's why most of my officemates have either, or all of the following on their desk:

1) stuffed toys - on the CPU, monitor, chair, desk
2) action figures (uso ngayon transformers) - on the CPU, monitor, desk
3) pillows - from throw pillows to a body-size
4) ref magnets - their cpu casing resembles more of a ref door than a cpu
5) notes, pictures stuck on their cpu through the ref magnets - most of them have their pics with their better halves posted for everyone to see, while some shows their evolution in the company, which is from thin to fat
6) mini electricfan
7) cellphone holder
8) nintendo ds and/or psp and some good old brain puzzles, as if they weren't already pre-occupied with their occupation
9) God knows what they keep inside their pedestals

while i am barely settled in my seat, i still don't have anything to populate on my desk. it's a sign that a trainee has just been deployed. maybe someday my workspace would get a bit crowdy and cramped. well, let me lst the things that i need to bring:

1) headset - for music. already bought a big boom boom philips headset
2) notepad - is this a necessity? i could use the notepad IN the computer 10x faster
3) computer books - well, it's more on taking OUT some stuff from my room rather than taking things in
4) pillows - 2 types: a standard throw pillow and one of those travel pillows, those types you put around your neck for sleeping
5) toothpaste - i'm running out of it
6) plate, utensils, tumbler - oh yeah most of the company benefits are related with food.
7) err... something to do whenever i feel stumped. bored games. hahaha.

o well, give me around 2 months in my seat and i could no longer move around my place. clutter clutter clutter.
