The Great Mall Of Asia Monday May 22, 2006

It's Sunday and it's my day off so I'll go malling (hehehe… sounds familiar?)
Next to watching korean/chinese/filipino telenovelas the next favorite Filipino pasttime is malling. It's actually a national sport that should be introduced into the next Olympics, we'll snatch a gold for sure if it will be included… nyahahaha. Besides the usual historical sites, boring art galleries and night life, malls are actually the new tourist destinations. You just have to realize how many malls we have now just in Metro Manila.
Ok, so back to my malling adventure. So for family day we decided to visit this new mall as a short activity, mom has to buy some gift for a golden anniversary wedding which they will be attending at 4pm. This sunday has an unusual bad sunday traffic so we got there around 230pm (so we've got only about 1hour of malling left). Once you get to the vicinity of the mall you'd see lot of cars anywhere… along side the roads, parking lots, parking spaces and literally anywhere surrounding the mall. So if you have that many cars… expect the number of people who are in that place… and I'd say literally swarming in that place. It's like suddenly the Mall of Asia is the most dense place in the country for the day. But the mall is like this giant behemoth… ready to take in as many people as it can. It's big and spacious.
According to Wiki (key: SM Mall Of Asia), SM Mall of Asia is now considered as the third largest mall in the world behind the Edmonton Mall of Canada and Golden Resource Mall of China. It boasts of an Olympic size skating rink and the much awaited IMax Theater which is one of the biggest cinema in the world… take that!
After buying the wedding gift, we have to scram out of the place so mom and my sis could go to their wedding itinerary. I went to the gym in Robinson's Place Manila and will have to go back again to Mall Of Asia for another itinerary… hehehe… see my next blog entry for this.
To be continued…
Palm-podding… Pod-palming… Sunday May 21, 2006

It's G-Day again (as in G for GEEK!). This time it's a joint meeting between the tappers (Palm users) and the click wheelers (Ipod users). The meeting of course is a mayhem of all sorts… well in a geek sort of way of course.
Wearing the whites were the Podders and those in blacks were the Palmers. Since I am a member of both groups (yeah… geek… so geek… rub it in!) and I can't find a zebra shirt to wear for that occasion, I wore blue instead. The meeting was held 4pm at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at Greenbelt 3. I arrived at 5 pm… Filipino time.
I arrived just in time for the Ques-tune game, a name-that-song game. I joined the group of some Mapalad oldies (meaning not newbies… and … uhmmm.. nevermind), it turns out we were too old for some new songs and we are too forgetful-old in guessing the titles of the old songs. They played some Polish Polka and German Love songs for us to guess the titles… kidding! Hey we did good in the OPM Oldies… ayt!
The joint meetings aim is to extend camaraderie with other tech user groups. We did it once with the Windows Mobile Users group (yup Palm and Windows Mobile users can co-exist in one place), and now with Ipod users community.
What's next? Hmm… we'll wait what is in store for the June meeting… but for now am interested in the GEEK IN THE PINK song of Jason Mraz.

Funny how sometimes you'll get a text message from a number you do not know. Of course, the initial reaction would be to text back and verify if it is just a mistaken identity, and it if it is a mistaken identity… this is where the funny stuff starts.

Ang Kagila-gilalas Na Pakikipagsapalaran ni ZsaZsa Zaturnnah Wednesday April 19, 2006

Yikes! Visiting PowerBooks and going out empty handed is a very hard lesson to learn. Books, as always, are great in tempting me to spend. This time got to shell out some for a comic book – Ang Kagila-gilalas Na Pakikipagsapalaran ni ZsaZsa Zaturnnah : Collected Edition by Carlo Vergara.
Don’t be deceived by the beautiful lady with large bumpers and almost wearing nothing. She is not a she… but a HE. The story’s protagonist is Ada a homosexual male who was granted the ability to transform into a superhuman warrior having remarkable strength and outstanding beauty by a stone that fell from the heavens. He… err… she ( it? ), and together with her sidekick Didi and his object of love (lust?) – Dodong, is forced to defend a small town from extraterrestrial Amazon bimbos.
If you think it is a spoof of DARNA, yes it is almost like it but with a humor far greater than the original. The humor … well as the front of the books says “BABALA: Para sa mga Mature Readers Ever!” (Warning: For Mature Readers Ever!), will make you really laugh hard on your seats with a little imagination of course. The humor is injected with gay themes that anyone can relate. I mean any mature reader can relate.
I’m looking forward to seeing this played on the stage next month. I missed it the first time it was staged in CCP, but hell I won’t miss it this time!
Hey Tserri! When are you watching this?

Maylin – my elder sister just recently signed up for her third employer for this year. Though she is now serving here 30 days notice in his present job, in a few weeks we’ll both be working for the same company. She got tired of being exiled to China from her previous job, She applied to a European banking company but got bored because of routinary job. She resigned again. Now in her new work she’ll be working in IT implementations and support, the headaches of IT. lolz!. This cheapskate family member now enjoys a great salary, a promising career in IT (?), and enjoying her newly acquired second hand red LXi Honda.
Yzza (or Balleriza) – she was actually my high school classmate’s younger sister whom we got to interact a lot during our high school days in Notre Dame. Last week, I got a friend request from her in Friendster, and when I checked her profile… whoa! I was surprised that she and her family had recently moved to New Zealand.
Howie – got a chance to have a little chit chat with this doctor turned virgin-coconut-oil-tv-commercial-model in the gym yesterday. He wasn’t the snobbish guy (so snobbish that you’ll think he’s autistic) I usually see doing his cardios, but yesterday he was extra cheerful and radiant. He said that he’s leaving the 1st of next month for San Francisco… for good. He’ll be going there to pursue his medicine career and citizenship.
Cyril – he’s my best friend. Just recently, he has been working on his migration requirements and papers for migration to Canada. Pressured by his mom and frustrations from being here in this country, he finally decided to apply for migration and look for greener pastures in other places.
Marc – well that’s me! I’ve been doing some lot of thinking and planning about my future recently. I have plans of going (migrating?) to other countries too… there’s Australia and there is Singapore. But…I have to postpone some of my bigger plans due to my schooling. I’ve recently found out that I might stay for another one and a half years to finish my post grad degree. So I guess I’d be stagnant for the next two years, but of course it would depend on the opportunities that would knock.
Gawd! I hate this QLC!
Books : Stainless Longganisa ni Bob Ong Thursday March 16, 2006

“… Sa anong paraan naging comedy ang “The Ring”? Kung itataob mo sa balon ang telebisyong nilalabasan ni Sadako, mapapaikut-ikot na lang ba s’ya sa balon at TV? Bigyang buhay at isadula ang pangyayari.”
–Bob Ong, Stainless Longganisa
Nakita ko lang sa powerbooks ito. Naghahanap kasi ako ng libro dun sa paborito kong genre, ang fantasy genre. Ops! Hindi sexual fantasy. Kundi ang fantasy books na akda nina Tolkien, Rowling at iba pa. Nung dumaan ako sa may cashier area, nakita ko yung puting libro na may cover na maraming ballpen. Sta… stainle… long… Hmm… Bob Ong?
Oo ang ikalimang akda ni Bob Ong na sumulat ng ABNKKBSNPLAko!, Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang Mga Pilipino, Ang Paboritong Libro Ni Hudas, at Alamat ng Gubat. Alam mo yung mga yun? Buti ka pa. Yung una lang ang nabasa ko dun.
In short binili ko yung libro. Si Bob Ong yun eh. Siguradong walang kwenta yun… kaya nakakatawa!
Hindi ka bibiguin na patawanin ng librong ito. Makaka-relate ka nga sa kwento ng buhay ni Bob Ong. Pero hindi ito libro ng talambuhay ni Bob, kundi kwento ito ng apat na librong nagpasikat sa kanya at ang mga kwento sa mga nilalaman nito. Behind the scenes kung baga.
Isa lang itong “lite reading material”, magbasa ka habang may hinihintay, walang magawa at kahit may ginagawa o gusto mo lang pansinin ka ng mga tao sa LRT dahil sa tumatawa ka mag-isa.
Para kay Bob : Super thank you. Super duper thank you.
P.S. : Basahin niyo yung FAQs (pa-kyus) section sa website ng libro niya. Ito pa lang nakakatuwa ng basahin. Ito ang link. Pindot dito.
