Just A Couple Of Hours Of Rain… And Our Street’s Flooded

Posted by admin in Uncategorized

The flood water almost reached our living room. It was already that high and I couldn’t believe it was happening. Thoughts of Ondoy were flashing before my eyes and I was praying, “God, please… not again.”

Good thing the flood had receded back to the streets when the rains stopped about an hour ago. But what worries me is that it is starting to rain again and it’s getting stronger by the minute.

I don’t want to lift all our stuff again on top of our tables and including our bed. Ondoy proved that was useless but a flood that could reach our living room, I certainly do not want that too.

Second Hand Computer

Posted by admin in Uncategorized

I bought a second-hand computer the other day. It’s actually just a CPU and it has Pentium 4 with 512mb of RAM. Not quite the latest and greatest when it comes to computing power, but it gets the j0b done for me.

I mean, I don’t use too much resources whenever I open my PC. It’s usually just a web browser and a word processor that I always turn on. Seldom do I use of Photoshop and even games. So I don’t really need a powerful machine just to help me get through the day.

That is something that most people should know. Choosing just the right specs for their computing purposes. Most computers and softwares today are too bloated, that you only use a very small portion of them in your daily life. You don’t need a powerful PC just to surf the net or even a full-blown word processor if all you do is write just a couple of letters or articles that are 500 words at the most.

I sincerely hope that computer and software manufacturers give us consumers an option of buying the right product for our specific needs. There’s no need to always get the most powerful thing they have.

I Hear Thunder

…and I see the skies going dimmer. Could this mean it will rain? It must be. It should.

It seems that I’m hallucinating because who wouldn’t after all these weeks of intense heat and no rain, I would gladly participate even in a rain dance just to cool down these afternoons. And it has been extremely hot that right now I’m using two electric fans just to cool me down.

“Rain, rain go away, come again another day, little Johnny wants to play…” as a small child I used to love singing that nursery rhyme during the rainy season. But not today. I would change that lyrics to:

“Rain, rain come today, stay awhile for a few days, little MJ wants to chill.”

That last word sure didn’t rhyme. But I would love for a little rain today.

Why Manny Pacquiao is Great

Posted by admin in Uncategorized

There are so many things that make Manny Pacquiao the luckiest person in this country. Here are some reasons as to why:

1. He has two TV shows…
…even though he has not been seen in those shows for a long time. “Show Me The Manny” and “Pinoy Records”. Only the Pambansang Kamao can do that.

2. He can make movies…
…even though he can’t act. It’s not that he has accent, that has very little to do about acting. He just can’t act. Period.

3. He has girls surround him everywhere he go…
…strip away his fame and money, and all that will be left by his side is his loving wife Jinkee. (having such a wife already makes him the luckiest on this planet)

4. He is running for congressman, which is a local position…
…and yet he his showing ads on national TV.

5. He earns his wealth through a blood sport…
…considering that this is a Catholic country that ‘tries’ to be ethical, humane, and peace-loving nation. One of the biggest ironies I have ever seen.

Memory Foam Pillow

Posted by admin in Uncategorized

My back’s been aching for quite some time now. Perhaps it is because of the bed that I am sleeping in. I’ve longed been wanting to have a memory foam pillow but I couldn’t find one here in our area.

I have read good reviews about it and how it can alleviate neck and back pains. I think it uses a revolutionary kind of foam that ‘remembers’ the way your body shapes the foam so each time you sleep, your head and neck are always well supported.

Fukuda Remote Control

Posted by admin in Uncategorized

When I opened one of my kitchen cabinets, I was surprised, and also delighted, to find the remote control for my Fukuda television set. It has been months since I last used it (I usually misplace my stuff) so I expected for its battery to have already died out. Well, when I tried it I found out that it’s still working.

Now it came to me once again as to why I really seldom use the remote control. It’s one of the worst remote control units I have ever used! You really have to point it to the tv set and you have to be on a direct path to the set. If you are in an angle, the remote control unit will not work.

And that’s not good because I love working on my laptop while watching tv, and the way my working table is placed, it’s at an angle to the tv set. So I can’t use the remote control. I have to stand up, walk closer to the tv for the remote to work. And that’s not a good thing.

Maybe I’ll just by a universal remote control, one that has a better signal or coverage so I can use it while watching tv and also working on my laptop.
