Unfortunately, this is as far as mine goes.
Tech shits
January 30, 2008I recently stumbled upon UAddIt and found these fucken sweet object!
From this particular article, I chose a few tech shits I’d like to own. Here they are…
The DIGG Button
The Digg button is a project that mimics the popular Digg.com website button. Each time you push it, the button flashes "Dug" and increments the counter up to 999 "diggs". The product comes in the form of a kit which contains multiple components that need to be soldered together. The Digg Button is an open source project. It was created when Phillip Torrone, Kevin Rose and Lady Ada met up for a drink and was introduced at the Digg Million User Celebration. It is sold for $15 each.
Satanic Bunny
January 26, 2008
My Melody. This godless, soulless creature haunted my dreams for a good week last year. I remember blogging about it here and here around November and I do believe I never got to blog how it ended. Anyway, here’s the low-lowdown.
Our dubbing competition got shoved a day later. And on that day, we found a nice spot behind the dubbing booth where we decided to have our lunch. A couple of hours later, we were asked to go to the booth and wait for further announcements. There we found a list of anime’s we were gonna dub. My fellow finalists knew that I can’t do female or children’s voices, I can do several male voices of different ages and characteristics but my voicebox defineitely won’t letter my fucken pitch get any higher. So they kept on teasing me that I’d get My Melody.
And then we were told to go to the side of the stage. Competition starts. My turn. I got, that’s right, My Melody. I felt like a fucken douchebag in front of those people trying to voice a sheep and this satanic bunny. After my turn, the other finalists were laughing their heads off and clapping like hell.
Ooh nice: One Flash Game
January 24, 2008
A week ago, grandmaster Aoitenshi asked me if I knew any good Flash games online. While I don’t go online particularly to play games, I do enjoy playing casual ones while I wait for a program to finish loading or a chatmate to respond. Here’s a good online Flash game that got me hooked, Punk-o-Matic. Well, I can’t really call it a game because it doesn’t have limiting rules, scores or goals, just a good sponge for a sudden musical burst.
Bona fide musicians may find the limitations annoying (a few selection of guitar tunes & rhythms and drumbeats, the lack of a bass guitar, eg), but for the rest of us who haven’t the foggiest idea how to play instruments let alone compose a song, it’s pretty entertaining. But having no actual goals to reach, rules or score to watch for, it could get tiring. But it’s still fun and worth an hour or two of game.
Look…up in the sky!

And it’s fucken cool that it sounds like a campy superhero from a 1940s comic book.
Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead
Whoa! Billy just texted me a news bit, and I went online to go find out, and imdb.com had this. Sayang, he never made it to the screening of The Dark Knight.
Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment’s bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence’s housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse’s arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, who was not present and was believed to be out of state. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger’s body. A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain. Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams, the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer. Further details of the actor’s death were not available at press time. –IMDb staff
Unnecessary but nice.
January 22, 2008
So nice I want one. Yes I fucken do. Not that I particularly love toast, but I still want one. My birthday’s coming up in a few months…are my friends reading this?
From Annanova.
Transparent toaster invented
Burnt toast could soon be a thing of the past thanks to the world’s first transparent toaster. The new concept glass toaster, which lets you see your bread as it browns, is from product developer Inventables. The idea is based on transparent heating glass technology and the idea is that the glass heats up enough to toast the bread. It means people can keep their eye on their breakfast and eject the slice at the moment it turns the perfect colour. This would eradicate the need to put the bread back down and run the risk of having to scrape burnt toast. However, a traditional timer dial is still incorporated into the design, for people who are too busy to keep an eye on their bread. A downside to the current design is that it only fits one piece of bread at a time.
Please make it stop.
weng weng, i love you my weng weng
i love you my weng weng
come to me and tease me
i love you weng weeeeeeeeeeeeeng
This song has been stuck in my head for days now, ever since Billy showed me this video. And then Paolo played it again yesterday. I kept on catching myself humming it absentmindedly now and it’s getting scary because I really don’t want to dream about a midget in a white suit aboard a tiny motorcycle. I. Really. Don’t.
Peter Parker’s Joystick

Spidey’s just too happy to be here…
Just so fucken wrong! Think of Tobey Maguire when about to play with this thing and you’ll lose interest in it. Deesgusting. Well, at least it’s a notch better than the prospect of seeing Satoru Iwata playing with his Wii.

Extremely late post abt…
January 6, 2008
Thanks to a raffle at a Christmas press party last year, I now have a check in my holiday wishlist, which is awesome considering that it’s the first time that I actually got something in that list. But then again, over the years I put down pretty odd things in my lists that were easy to get.
Being a rocker and a mid-frequency audiophile who spent every weekend for two months in 2005 at Saguijo, I found that weekend radio and the CD I was using weren’t enough. Thankfully during mid 2007 I won an iPod Shuffle in a raffle which I easily filled with tracks and podcasts and would become an essential part of any trip I’d make. The 1GB MP3 accompanied me almost everyday to work, made sure I didn’t pull my hair out during traffic and kept me from pouring out litany after litany about the legality of divorce in the country and the perpetually staggering value of the Peso to blanks walls during events. The little bugger went on to my brother when the iPod Classic came last month.
The Classic’s 80GB capacity just wouldn’t budge even after I had shoved my entire MP3 library, podcasts, photos, seasons of some of the series I enjoy watching and even used it as an external HD for some of my personal files. It’s even got games and some applications I find useful when going to the toilet or even for work.

Retro Shits
For someone as large and tough as Zangief, his game ending clip looks really gei.
I’ve been doing some retro gaming thanks to the SNES emulator I found in one of Elad’s CDs. He also had a few ROMs in there too, like a few Super Mario games and of course Super Street Fighter II. Playing these games really take me back to the days when me and my friends would have to sneak off once in a while to play them at the neighborhood gaming hub.
Aww.
Two nights ago, my mom handed me my old ID from when I was in pre-school at ERES in Mandaluyong City. This was a time when I think I still looked cute smiling.
Pussy mouth
January 4, 2008
I’m a cone-headed cyclops with a unibrow, a huge eyebag and a pussy for a mouth.
I also have no ears and no nose and my cheekbones look mushed up too close together that there seems to be either a pair of boobs or an ass on my face.
Everyone seems to have pics on their Friendster profiles taken with iMacs and showed various ways you can fuck yourself with the iCam. I took this particular pic when an iMac was at the test lab waiting to be tested a few months ago.
2007 Last Hurrah
January 2, 2008
This is what I was doing two hours before 2007 was kicked off the roof. Again, boredom prevailed.
Wrecking Crew Update
January 1, 2008
It's nearly 4:00am and the neighbors are still howling along to top 40s like wounded dogs right after a rough hunting season.
Right now their heinously maniacal voice boxes are abusing Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart" complete with whistle tones and deep gutteral rustling. ARGH!
My fucken head hurts like fucken hell and all I wanna fucken do is sleep in fucken silence.
Somebody please shoot me now– or them, I really don't care at this point!
Over at Cielo’s
Last Saturday I met up with Cielo and Doris to help them with the grocery we needed for the post New Year party on the 4th. We were mildly surprised at how expensive the 24-pack San Mig Lights were, and the price really kicked our budget off the roof. Anyway, here are some pics from Cielo's place right after the MOA trip.

Kitsch (I'm not sure how her name is spelled) was absolutely a lovely she-dog (I don't think Cielo would like the other term referring to her princess).
A shitty way to welcome 2008
Around 11:00pm I went downstairs with my speaker set and iPod. I'm a firm supporter of alternative New Year noise-making because fireworks ( 1 )produce smoke, triggering my allergic rhinitis, ( 2 )are fucken expensive, I can see every peso being obliterated with every firecracker and ( 3 )are freaking dangerous.
So I headed out the front door and parked my ass on the porch to set up. When I got there, the people from the house across the street were blowing their lungs out in karaoke. I chuckled a little as I plugged in the cables and began playing Wolfmann+ and the Chemical Brothers and The Knife. I thought Deftones, Queso and Sevendust were too much even for New Year.
It's past 3:00am. The neighbors are still at it. I just went through a painful slew of renditions of Britney Spears, Evanescence and Simple Plan shits, all of which I absolutely abhor. And right now, a guy and a girl are doing some horrid vocal patintero clawing my sanity out with that freaking Meteor Garden theme song.
What a way to start the year. Ick.
Oh and Happy New Year. Whatever.
