Bangkok Duty Free Scam...

2009-07-30T21:30:00.004+08:00

True or not..

Subject: Customs and Duty-Free at the airports..

Unbelievable, but please apply caution.

All those who travel a lot, please be very, very careful. Read ahead...

An Indian was detained in Bangkok for stealing a box of cigarettes in a
duty-free shop in Bangkok International Airport. He had paid for chocolates
and a carton of cigarettes. The cashier put a packet of cigarettes extra
into his bag and he thought it was a free pack. He was arrested for
shop-lifting and the Thai Police extortion price was 30,000 Baht for his
release. He spent two nights in jail and paid 500 Baht for an
air-conditioned cell, 200-300 baht for each visitor, and 11,000 baht for
his final release. The Police shared the money in front of his eyes. On top
of that, he was charged in court and fined 2,000 baht by the magistrate and
handcuffed and escorted to his plane. His passport was stamped "Thief".
While there, his relatives requested help from the Indian Embassy and was
told that they are helpless, many Asians are victimised similarly daily and
letters and phone-calls to the Thai authorities are ignored. He shared a
cell with a
Singaporean the first night who paid 60,000 baht for his release. The
second night was a Malaysian national who paid 70,000 baht.

Mind you this was not in a shanty shop in downtown Bangkok but in a duty
free shop at the Bangkok Int'l Airport. BE WARNED. The above 100% correct
information because Mr.Rajan Khera's customer from India faced exactly the
same scenario mentioned above when he was in transit at Bangkok Int'l
Airport coming to Taipei.

Someone who went through the same ordeal in Dubai. He bought stuff at the
Duty Free upon entering. The girl at Duty Free put a bottle of cologne in
his shopping bag (he did not even see it happen). He was arrested for
stealing ( this is before he even picked up his luggage ). He sat at the
airport jail (where he was harassed for the whole day. (NO FOOD, NO WATER)
for one day and only after he paid a fine (bribe of US 500..). That is all
the cash he had in his pocket at the time. They let him go. These are scams
that are happening all over the place. Please BE CAREFUL! All of this is
pre-planned and the people who work at the airport know who to target.

its been that long..My current relationship that is.. It started an uphill climb..more like a big company's stock going up on the stock exchange. When a recession happens, it nose dives into negativity. While in recession it tries to recover..goes up and goes down again..

I'm very happy that I'm with her..

But it just doesn't show in my face..My mind is full of negative things..more concerning to money.

whew....I still have no jobs, and I still haven't worked on 2 projects that was given to me..

Basketball Season - Healthy Living

2009-05-25T11:29:00.002+08:00

Basketball season just started with a 1-1 standing for both the Royal-MCGF Husky's and Fitness Bulldog's. Last Wednesday's practice game was a little horrible. Combined players of both teams were pitted against the CFC Men's team and luckily the combined team led by center Jun2x rallied back late in the game to clinch a 4 pt deficit.

During Saturday's first game the Husky's took the first half leading the Bulldogs with just 3 pts., on the second half the Bulldogs rallied and won with just a 2 pt lead. Even with the relentless drive of Husky's power forward Ernst, Bulldogs power center Jun2x was on fire and both wingman's PF Chino and SF Michael as back-ups. Guard Jasper was also on fire late in the game, getting a point and also made an assist to Mike. SF Loloy also made 3 assists and 2 pts to add to the half's winning points.

Next game will be this coming wednesday, both team's player roster will be change if injury and rehabilitation of some of the inactive players are finish.

Is this for real? Am I imagining?

The Raid...

2009-05-18T00:31:00.003+08:00

Friday's party was a memorable one..It had a great recipe for clean fun..BUT the law as always is the KILL JOY type. A raiding team from a local law enforcement agency came and swooped the place. The search warrant is for illegal partying..DARN IT...details on the search warrant are as follows:

"A complaint filed by Mr. John Doe ********************* The complaint is for EXCESSIVE PARTYING in the location of ***********blah blah blah ********* There is probable reason that gorgeous and sexy girls are drinking and dancing excessively without the necessary permits to do so. As there is probable reason that cool dudes are also excessively drinking and at the same time are excessively enjoying playing a very friendly game of poker." and so on and so forth..

Summing it up, the charges are:
- illegal partying
- excessive dancing
- excessive drinking
- excessive laughter
- too many gorgeous and sexy women in one place
- too many cool dudes in one place
- gambling without permit
- pimping without permit
- sexy dancing without permit
- loud music again without permit
- FREE BEER without permit
- FREE FOOD without permit

We all went to the agency's office, sirens where blazing and a convoy of at least 10 cars race and even waved a banner for a pornographic film while en route to the office. Lawyers came nearly for everybody within minutes of arriving.

The oceans twelve as they were called continued their party at the office...but no booze just food..

Morning came and the twelve were directed to go to the local court and post bail of 10,000 shits each..that's a grand total of 120,000 shit loads...

Am I drunk today or is my imagination just running wild..Or maybe just to put something in my blog...

Hmmmnnn......

You'll be the judge, shit happens everyday.

2009-05-15T11:17:00.002+08:00

Another day of stress without doing anything...

But..

An unexpected event happened last night, a friend request from my first girlfriend.. As matured individuals, I accepted straight forward, no questions revolving in my mind or agenda's. I was still browsing through FaceBook, playing Mafia Wars when she message me on the chat. We had a small friendly chat, but unexpectedly the past was dugged up. I was trying not to open any topic that would flare up memories of immaturity, but she openly asked the question. Which as always I could not answer..

The rest of the friendly chat turned into still friendly but a little awkward one. Yes, I know my past mistakes, missteps, things that I should have done and things that I should have not done. But its still an eye opener when a girl you loved before tells you these..

Especially if she tells you that "of all the past boyfriends she had, she misses me most than any other"... Sounds kinda like from a movie or a love story.

But here I am..awake but still my mind is floating around..still have some tasks to do..

Oh well...

God Help Us..

3 Months

2009-05-13T00:43:00.003+08:00

3 months of absence in personal blogging...whew...the RECESSION is killing me. My total debt is now at 250,000 philippine peso and climbing. RCBC Bankard already blocked my Gold card and they are asking me to pay the total amount of 60,500 philippine peso. At the same time my current balance in my RCBC Bankard Classic credit card is now at 18,000 philippine peso.

Please God help me...

I have no job, I have a finance website and 4 blogs but still no income...

Will someone in Davao City offer me debt consolidation at low interest rate...but I don't own anything as collateral. I don't own any real estate nor a car..The only thing that I can say that I really own is my laptop..on the other hand I still owe dad 24,000 pesos for payments for the laptop.

This recession is hitting very hard and the Philippine government has nothing to offer, nothing to help unemployed individuals like me. All they can think of is their pockets..their PORK BARREL FUNDS for PERSONAL USE...This is why it is so lucrative to run for a government position. Even a Barangay Councilman is hotly contested.

Will someone hire me..I need an online job..My skills are limited but I can learn a lot. My previous employers are Australians and all my previous jobs are as a virtual assistant. But professionally speaking, my position was Junior Web Marketer. So I have a little knowledge on SEO, link building, HTML coding, and lots of data entry.

Please hire me...my hourly rate is 80-150 philippine peso and I can work 20-40 hours a week at 5 days per week.

You can contact me here at my blog...

Recession Holiday Season

2008-12-30T14:58:00.002+08:00

It's the holiday season but, due to an economic recession, consumers have opted just to go window shopping. Malls have been frequented but their are less buyers compared to window shoppers. But food products are still very popular. At least consumers were on a buying spree to meat and poultry products. Chocolates are also on the high sell.

Hmmnn...this ranting of economic recession on the holidays is dampening my woes.. I am also hit by the economic slump. Unemployed and credit card bills rising, How am I going to pay for all my debts. My total debts as of yesterday has amounted to more than 100,000 php. And currently being unemployed I don't have any means of paying it. The real estate properties being sold are not yet sold, I'm already praying that it would be sold within January so that I can pay nearly all my debts in one go. And right now I am feeling quite awful already..

New year is just a day more and well..I pray to God that everything will be much better this coming new year..

Days to go..

2008-08-30T00:29:00.002+08:00

Yupz, days to go so that I'll bid good bye to the age of 28 and welcome 29. Sheesh..unfortunately I'm broke..I have a grand total of 30 thousand pesos of debts from various lenders, it includes my parents anyway..I'm nearing my birthday but sad to say I have no cash to party or even just get a good meal. Nonetheless, I'll try to keep my chin up in spite of all these circumstances. But keeping my chin up doesn't mean I can still hold on. To be exact is hard to hold on..it's so hard not to give up. I have bills to pay, debts to pay..I don't even have money to have my driver's license renewed!!

Right now, I really am not well. My chest is heavy..its like I'm carrying my heavy shoulder. My head hurts from trying not to think too much of my problems. And my bad habit is back.

Yesterday, I was out of the house, joined a couple of friends. Supposedly it was a meeting for our travel to Singapore. We did discussed some things about it. But one thing that hits me is my blunder. I should not have mentioned it, knowing too well the things my friends endured, I unknowingly uttered nearly same situation as what my friend did..

Among that blunder and problems, I also did not visited church today..I forgot to ask for some money for transportation fare..

Lord Help Me...

today's most listened music..part 2

2008-08-25T12:58:00.001+08:00

Band: Alesana
Title: Apology

Sweat drips in my eyes
screams of lust we cry
tonight you are everything
you're everything...
you're everything to me no more
as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls
can I not stay and live this lie?
for I must think only of myself

And to think that you would not be scared
or surprised if I'd severed all these ties
this is the end...

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight,
help me get over you

I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions...
broken pieces will not mend to save our past now...
it has come to this one last kiss

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology,
help me get over you

Now we must let go..
urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight,
help me get over you
one last false apology,
help me get over you

In my mind blood drips from your eyes
a beautiful last goodbye

today's most listened music..

Band: Mayday Parade
Album: Tales told by dead friends
Title: Three Cheers for five years

I swear that you don't have to go
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you

To late, I'm sure and lonely
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Just be here now against me
You know the words so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I died right now you'd never be the same

I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
And moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across the key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
And I'd give my heart as an offering

And I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember now
Sleep alone tonight with no one here just by your side
How does he feel, how does he kiss
How does he taste while he's on your lips
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you
I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
I know you want me to want you I want to

just me..

2008-08-06T14:27:00.002+08:00

it's now the 2nd week after that huge mistake and I still could not find any solutions to the problems that materialized after that incident. My Gf is still bothered by it..I don't even know if I still have the right to say she is my "Gf". I have hurt her so much that I can't forgive my self. If I have been sulking she has been in a more depressing mood than me..Her flight to Austria has been hampered by money problems..Airline tickets to and from Vienna are ridiculously high. The price per ticket stayed the same when we first checked around the last week of July, but the taxes currently being charged have risen to $600!!! Gas prices are going down but why the taxes??

I've just killed off the only thing that matters most to me..Her..

I don't know if I can put up any strenght to continue. I still wanted to help her. I still wanted her to get that flight. For me that is the only thing that matters for her..If she can fly out of the country even for 1 month then I am hoping that would be enough for her to forget about me.

It is the most bullshit thing I've done..

Right now..I just wanted to vent out a little..I have no work..no money..and I don't have her...
I am in total shambles..or should I say fuckin state..

I never felt relaxed since the start of this year..not too relax. I still have to finish my project and pray and also hope that it would create an income..

Just came from a drive around downtown Davao City with friends. Guzzled up a couple or three San Miguel Light Beer..and again I paid my fuel thru my RCBC Bankard Credit Card..How am I gonna pay this..

Its 3am already..I hope that everything will be smooth today..another scheduled party this coming evening...but I don't have any money..

2008-07-08T03:53:00.002+08:00

Recently I am having problems..problems with work, with my relationship, and with myself..

Their is just too much of pressure, too much pessimism in myself..

I don't know what to do with my life.. I have a wish list of things that I wanted.. I have a wish list of scenarios for my future BUT if I'd be realistic I cannot attain those scenarios from were I am now..

My future is too bleak to look at..their is nothing there..BLANK

I wanted to start my project so that I can have extra income..BUT I have not even started it yet..

I wanted to travel, bought a 2 tickets fro Singapore and paid it already..BUT I don't have enough money for hotel and other expenditures for the whole travel..

Credit Card? I already have enough debts...

Missed opportunities....MANY!!

Firefox 3 will be released in a couple of hours from now..

Its Download Day 2008!!! Firefox aggressive effort to set a Guinness World Record of most downloaded software in 24 hours..And also to make the world safer for internet browsing.

I have already made a pledge..click the image on the right hand side of my blog to pledge and download the new Firefox 3.

Some tidbits on the new Firefox 3:

Mozilla prepares for Firefox 3 release and plans for 3.1

Mozilla has announced that June 17 is the official date of the much-anticipated Firefox 3 release. Developers and open source software enthusiasts are planning parties all over the world to celebrate the occasion. I'll be covering the release from Mozilla headquarters in Mountain View at the official Camp Firefox event.

Mozilla is encouraging users to participate, too, by helping the Firefox team set the record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours. The total number of unique downloads that take place on release day will be submitted for potential inclusion in the Guinness World Records. Over a million users have already signed up to pledge their support.

Firefox 3 goes on a diet, eats less memory than IE and Opera

During intensive browsing with approximately 50 tabs, I have found that Firefox 3 generally consumes less than half of the memory used by Firefox 2.0.0.12. Firefox 3 is also snappier and more responsive when switching between tabs and performing other operations that typically lag in Firefox 2.0.0.12 when the browser is experiencing heavy load.

What a week..

2008-06-16T04:41:00.002+08:00

What a week it has been..Less hours at work and more hours at doing other than work and also more hours in sleep at abnormal hours.

Yes, abnormal hours..I have been sleeping during the morning and not at night. My body clock is somewhat busted right now..or should I say for a long time now..my sleeping schedules have been drastically getting worse and worse by the week..

My girlfriend did not went to manila last week, her itenary got jumbled up because of a plane ticket malfunction. She booked a flight for June 11 but the ticket that was given to her was booked June 10, so she was a no-show on the June 10 flight. We have to get to the airport early 4Am just to get the tickets re-done.

And on another note..I'm out of money..to be honest I only have 6 pesos on my pocket..Good thing Dad lend me his car for a Sunday church which eventually me and my girlfriend did not attend because we were so late..

My elder sister also wants me to pay up on my credit card bill..which amounts to around 2000 pesos and I don' have money right now... :(

Just want to scream out loud...

Its a Monday already, I'm not yet asleep....Grrrr...

But the best thing is, its raining outside..must go to sleep..

Mother's Day

2008-05-11T12:51:00.002+08:00

Happy Mother's day to all mothers..

And that includes my mother, my grandmother..and other mother's out there..

We already somewhat celebrated mother's day yesterday with a trip to the beach. We went to Paradise Beach Resort at Samal Island around 8am yesterday, and it was good timing since it was still high tide. The water is near the tables and you don't need to go far to swim.

We had a good time and at the same time was also exhausting..My nephew matthew who was already darkened by last Saturday's beach outing is again darkened more..And since he wears goggles all the time, the area were the goggles were at are the only area where his skin is still normal complexion..He looks like Robin (of batman and robin) in inverted colors..

Baby Isle was also around, he made his first step in the sands and also made his first dip at the waters..He was a little hesitant at first but when he got a hang of the temperature of the water, he was enjoying it, splashing water all around..

It was also god timing at the beach since there were not much people around, maybe because not many people have spare money to spend, since its already 2 weeks after salary day..

I also have not much money to spend but is enough for me for the month..

And the car (Lancer) just parked at home..Not used.But I do rev it up everyday..except yesterday..

:D

Uncle's Car

2008-04-27T15:19:00.005+08:00

My Uncle just returned for Canada today, leaving behind his car to us and his apartment to her..

this was the view at the airport, a Philippines Airlines jet taxiing for takeoff..

This is the aftershots of the trunk with everything removed..this is already cleaned. Before it was cleaned it was a mess..Oil leaking from aa Engine Oil container and water combined with dust, rust, and flaked paint was all around this area. Good thing their was a small hole so that I can just wash the area with soapy water and have it drain by itself.

Now this is a clean..Before it was cleaned it was dark gray..now it somehow got back to being gray..But some smudges are still there. I don't have professional tools and solvents to really clean this car.

This two shots of the front shows a clean car..but not professionally clean..I'm just a novice cleaner..

Clean car...as you can see, my uncle got into an accident sort of..Did not asked for the details. Uncle's trusty mechanic glued it together using some carbon fiber...but they did not repainted it..

The car still needs some check up..from a certified Mitsubushi mechanic..and also a certified car electrician... :D

Where will I get the funding for it??? hmmmnnnn..

Car Details:
Mitsubishi Lancer
Model 1994
1500cc
automatic transmission

Rainbow Six Las Vegas PC game

2008-04-25T00:00:00.002+08:00

Just recently finished the Rainbow Six Las Vegas game for PC. And well it was fun..Some levels were darn to annoying even at normal difficulty. My laptop was running this game at low settings so any areas wherein there would be one very big environment with many badass then my laptop starts to choke..Eventually I finished the game with the last battle in near stop-play mode..well nearly..I cannot control the weapons as I should have in the other levels.

I think I'll wait for a desktop to play the sequel to this game..and some other games perhaps..A Phenom X3 or an Intel E8000 would suffice coupled with a 2GB of main memory and an 8800GT video card to top off..I think that would suffice with most current games..BUT not for eye candy resolutions..mid level resolution is alright with me as long as it would not stutter in game.

I must get some cold cash just to get each on my dreams list acquired or done by...

Asthma attack

2008-04-23T12:11:00.002+08:00

Just came back from a nearly 3 days admission to the hospital for an asthma attack. My original doctor was not around, so I was spared from the usual doctor-patient scolding. My new doctor which was recommended by my original doctor is still a female, younger than my original doctor but already a consultant at that age..Did not ask for her age though, but she could be around 35-40 yrs. old.

I was on IV since last sunday, and my body kinda reminded itself of the trauma back 4 years ago when a nurse apparently mistook my hand as a needle pouch..or put in another way, forgot that I was a human not a test dummy for him to practice. This time, after the nurse completed inserting the IV without a hitch I slowly started to tremble and feel so cold afterwards. Even though the pain was minimal because it went smoothly my body still remembered the pain 4 years ago..My brother and Mother was with me and apparently they noticed it and was teasing me for it..After awhile the trembling subsided, but a few minutes later the nurse went back to get some blood sample from me, around 5ml. I was already hoping the nurse would have done this after 30 minutes, but then again it was a step by step process...So the nurse got the sample on my right arm, the left arm is already occupied with the IV, so no need for that arm to be touched or poked. Blood sampling is quite alright with me, that being the second time I was poked for blood sample.

So I was there for nearly 3 days of air conditioned room with cable TV. I have my brother bring my laptop so that he could watch anime or play the pc games installed.

I also went for an X-ray, but nothing significant was found on the result as well as the blood test also was found to be clean, nothing found that can be of used for the diagnosis. So with both results being negative and being checked by my doctor if my lungs still has that hissing sound inside, I was given a Go signal for discharge.

And here I am at home, away from the air conditioned room, no cable, but with broadband access and my bed...I had a sound sleep last night but it was already around 1:30am before I got to sleep soundly. I woke up 10am, very late..so I ate my breakfast and went on to take my medication which will end this day..

I'll rest for a while..I am still downloading the path for Sim City Societies.

Have a great day..

Mike

I'm nearing my limit..

2008-04-16T04:13:00.003+08:00

Arrghh...I hate this day..I really hate this day..This day is sooo stressful..so darn stressful..Got into a misunderstanding with my girlfriend, got some work issues to iron out..and me making stupid things making this day the worst ever..

I am really not in the mood...too much anger in my mind, and it feels so heavy in my chest..

I hate this day..

My body is aching..

2008-04-09T02:28:00.004+08:00

It's now early wednesday morning and I am still in front of my laptop typing this blog. If you find any typo error I'll have to apoogize for it..My body feels weak and my back is aching. It started yesterday when me and my girlfriend took a nap at a portable bed at her laundry shop. We slept for maybe 2 hours and after that, our bodies where aching from the very uncomfortable bed. We nearly consumed all of our relaxation time at the laundry shop because it is currently plagued with problems. Problems ranging from busted washing machines and from incompetent work force..which just number at 2 staff. A backlog occurred when they apparently did not do the laundry of a customer who would be claiming their laundry next week, which would be a tad long stay for the finished clothes. So they plan to do the customer's laundry this week, but the plan back fired when the washing machine got busted. So my girlfriend inspected everything on the shop and there she found out about the backlog of customer's laundry..

And for me, I'm not getting enough relaxation because of the stress being radiated to me by my girlfriend.

Now, getting to work is already getting stressful these days..I don't know what is happening..Last week was a good week for work and also for me and my girlfriend..but for this week, well it started looowww and stressful..

Did not get the chance to photographed the visiting french navy ship..I guess next time will be it.. The question will be when will the next ship arrive..

Working on weekends...

2008-04-06T23:28:00.002+08:00

I have got to stop working on weekends..its keeping me from doing some anti-stress activities. I'm already stressed out from all the week's activities. Work tasks and other tasks related to life, going out with my girlfriend, having dinner, having a good night out with friends..and most importantly trying to re-start the hobby tasks..mainly my scale models and also try to get back at playing my guitar..

I was listening to some Coheed and Cambria lately..For one week already..They rock..! I like the music..the guitar riffs..but some of the lyrics are a little too much to me. I try not to dissect too much the songs so as not to know what the song was all about..Mostly some dark side sentimentality and destruction.. :) which is quite too much for me now..but if this was 10 years ago then I would have cranked this one up at our sound system here..

Tomorrow is another day..another week..hopefully I would get something out of tomorrow..
A photo Op just came by but I am still not sure if I could grab the opportunity to take the time and to take pictures of this visiting french navy ship. Hopefully someone will give me access to it..

April Fool's Day...

2008-04-03T23:15:00.002+08:00

Hmmnn...

Don't know much about April fool's day, supposed to be a day to do some practical jokes... Not quite applicable to my culture..But while doing some work, stumbled upon some good humour blogs and some other weird stuff on the net. everything from politcal humour to sexuality. There are some cool humour that don't bothers to touch sexuality or religion just to be funny. Fitness is one of those subjects that have seen attention as a humour subject. Like this one:

Why ZeroCal™?

Australians consume an average of 1200 calories a day in excess of recommended levels*. Although recent focus in the public mind has been on the negative effects of fats, excess calories still contribute to the obesity epidemic in a major way.

How It Works

The meals contain a large proportion of foods with negative calories (cauliflower, cucumbers, celery, garlic etc.) creating a calorie deficit.

•Many high-calorie foods (like meat) are substituted with lower-calorie foods that are just as delicious (like seafood).

•The remaining calories are erased through our proprietary CalBurnKnob™ technology. This is a knob on the takeaway box that's very hard to open (see picture below) – meaning you burn off the remainder just by opening the container!

Ending of the year 2007

2007-12-31T22:03:00.000+08:00

Just hours left before I bid farewell to the year of 2007. The year was full of ups and downs.. A complete list of themes ranging from depression to happiness.

Work will resume this coming January 3 and I still haven't finished the document updates...more work and less play. I am currently not feeling well also..Got a flu like symptom. Hard dry cough and slight fever with a lot of sneezing.. I am greeting the new year with a cough.!!

Happy New Year

My New Laptop!!

2007-12-22T21:52:00.000+08:00

Another long long long absence in my blog..Just bought myself an Acer 4520g Laptop. Its powered by an AMD TL-58 processor running at 1.9Ghz each core. It is supplemented by 2 512kb level 2 cache. I installed 2x1gb ddr2-667 memory modules for a total of 2Gb of physical memory. It already has a discreet video card by Nvidia, the 8400m G. Other specifications of the laptop are, 160Gb SATA HDD, DVD Super Multi drive, and the usual bluetooth and Wifi components. I also bought a Vanted Lapcool 5 laptop cooler. The AMD processor runs quite hot this is why the needed extra cooling.

All in all, the total cost comes around 55,000 pesos. I paid for the laptop through my credit card, paying 4,200.00 pesos for 12 months. Then the additional 1 Gb memory, laptop cooler, and laptop bag was bought through cash.

It's gonna be Christmas in a matter of 3 days. With all my expenses and insurance to pay..I have no money to by gifts anymore..

And I still have to budget another 2,000 pesos for the 2 scale model kits I ordered. The first kit is an Hasegawa 1:72 F-18D and the second is a Hasegawa 1:72 F-15C kit. Its going to arrive on the last week of December.

I still have to work..with the many absences I made during the first and second week of December, I can probably just get a maximum of 9,000 pesos...So this means I need to work...

November Rain

2007-11-28T16:49:00.000+08:00

It has been a really long time..Long for me..3 weeks of no post. I am swamped with work and at the same time I am feeling depress on everything. Even my relationship with my Girlfriend is also on the rocks. I feel burnt out..tired..just want to sleep the whole day. I really wanted to smoke a cigarette again, but a part of me is saying NO!..

Sometimes, just to get out of depression mode, I go to computer hardware sites to read and evaluate my upcoming computer upgrade. I have settled with the estimated price tag of 27,000.00 pesos. Either going for the AMD X2 or the Intel Core 2 Duo. But the current intel chipset which is the P35 looks promising than the older AMD690 or Nvidia 7050 chipsets. Even the new AMD 790 chipset offerings are still way above my budget and also the southbridge being used is still the old SB600. Going with the P35 coupled with the ICH9 southbridge is the most prudent way to go. I have set my eyes on the Abit IP35-e which costs 5,900 pesos and couple it with the Intel E2160 processor. I was vying for the E4400 but can't stretch my budget..The price difference is around 2,000 pesos. Also on my list is the 2Gb Team Elite DDR2-800 dual channel kit and a GeCube 2600XT 256mb video card. The power supply available is a costly HEC Winpower 550 Watts PSU.

And another thing that keeps me away from depression is I just ordered a 1:72 scale model kit for the Orbot or should I say VF-1J aircraft in the Macross ( Robotech ) series. Can't wait for it to arrive. Estimated arrival here in the country is this coming 29th but add another coupe of days for freight from manila to davao.

Now I feel much better...But I must get back to work...How can I even pay my debts or things to buy when I am not working...

Saturday Hunting

2007-10-27T14:56:00.000+08:00

Its Saturday once again...I was quite busy with my tasks, even now I still have a priority task to finish. I woke up very late again, 12:00 noon. But it is justified, I slept around 3:00Am already. Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful night, we just stayed at her home but we did some karaoke using that Magic Sing microphone thing. We kinda loosen up our stressed body's and mind while we where singing. But to be exact, I am not good at singing...it was a good thing her dogs did not howl back when I sang a song. I also bought some magazines for us, the BluPrintMag for her and an HWM Mag for me. They have a website HardwareZone if you want to look at there articles for every pc component you might want to buy.

I also did some rat hunting today, the scar faced rat is back and that rat still fell into his own trap. Hiding again on that PVC pipe wherein I rained him with a couple of BB's on the opening. He'll be back again some other time. I already re-adjusted the scope for my M50 sniper rifle but still some of the BB's that I shot on the paper target are an inch off. Maybe the wind is playing on me. I'll try to buy a heavier BB next time. I currently use a 0.20g BB so my next buy would be 0.25g BB.

My uncle will be returning to Davao this coming tuesday and I already emailed him to buy me a Testor Mighty Mini Airbrush kit. Its a beginners kit, it already includes an air compressor, air brush, and some tools and a manual on how to start the painting of scale models. I hope customs will not block the entry for it.

I'm off to work..Again..

Tuesday Hot Spot

2007-10-16T23:45:00.000+08:00

What a day..and also what a week was last week. Did not have time to blog during the weekend. Got quite busy doing other things. Last Saturday was our monthsary with my girlfriend, 3 years and 7 months and still counting..We had a rather depressing but renewed commitment to address our personal problems last Friday. We went to attend a prayer meeting and was 30 minutes late. We prayed for a short while and returned to her home to talk and watch TV.

Then on the next day, Saturday, our 3.7 Monthsary!! I bought a single white rose before going to her house. I don't know if she was surprised or not but I she was thankful that I gave her that flower. When I arrived she was still grooming her shit-zu named Trixie. This dog is a pure blooded shit-zu but she thinks and acts like a sporting dog.. She likes to play tug of war and also likes to play a different version a ball. Trixie's version is slippers. She would fetch it if you throw it and returns to you in a tug-of-war style..sometimes she gets angry when she cannot grab the slippers away from you.

After my girlfriend finished what she was doing, we went to dinner at Bigbys Restaurant. It is located at SM City Mall - Davao. My plan was supposed to be to have dinner at Piccobelo Restaurant at JS Southmall, but she wanted to watch a movie after dinner. The movie theater in JS SouthMall is not good. So I concur to going to SM City Mall instead of JS SouthMall. We had a heavy dinner, we ordered 1 Chix Ahoy meal and 1 Rib Steak meal, the size of the platter was big, I did not even ordered extra rice. We were so full. After eating dinner we watched the movie "Blind Dating" a comedy-love story..Forgot the guy's name..but the girl was an indian. A cute love story. There where some funny scenes..eventually both of us rate it as a 5/10 rating.

After watching the movie we went straight back to her home and watched again a movie on cable TV. It was "American Pie 2", so we watched again, talk and laugh whle watching it. We had a good evening. I arrived back at my home around 3am already. We were planning to go to church early morning but was scrapped since we slept already 4am in the morning.

Sunday - Sunday - Sunday..it was also a good day. A close friend of ours visited back Davao, she is getting married to boyfriend of 6 years. The circle of friends was not complete, just around 1/4 of the original size of the group. We had a good night drinking a couple of beers and watching the presentation made for her wedding reception. It was also a good night in terms of transportation, my Father lent me his car. It was a downpour around 5pm on that day, but was over when we went to church, bring alongside her 2 nieces.

Monday - work - report. This was the order of the day..Woke up 9am and started worked immediately. Finished the Monday report after an hour of gathering the necessary data. And went back to sleep for an hour. My eyes were still complaining to go back to sleep. Continued with work on the PPC task. Everything went well for that day. When I got back home early, my father asked me how much the Red-dot scope I found on Gmall cost. It was a Tasco 1x30 Red-dot scope, it cost around 1600 pesos. It has no magnification. Dad went through the gun store at NCCC Mall and found out that the 6-24x50 Tasco scope that is currently installed in my DE M50 Sniper Rifle cost around 5000 pesos. He really wanted that scope to be mounted on his newly repaired Airgun. But is still needs a Picatinny Rail where the scope's mount will attached. He's still looking for a way to attached it, and in exchange, Dad will buy me a red dot scope, either the 2600 pesos red dot scope with magnification or without.. Its okay with me as long as a red dot scope is installed.

Tuesday - Tagum City - Farm - Rice Mill - Cash!! Today me, dad, my aunt and uncle went to our farm at Tagum City. Just to check around and also get Lola's share in the mid year harvest. I drove going there, it was a hot day this morning and lunch. A little traffic at Panacan and Tibungco, but the rest of the way was smooth. Around 3pm it rained there and had coffee for our snack. We departed Tagum around 4pm. We took a shortcut at Bunawan, Dad was the one driving this time. When we arrived at lola's house I accounted Lola's income and deducted the shares. I had 6000 pesos for the mid year harvest. The harvest was again plague with pest and weed problem and also the fluctuating buying price due to the rainy weather. But it was not that bad..I thank God for this money I received. Dad also gave me 400 pesos as my share from the rice mill's income..

I gave mother some money to add for grocery. I am also going to give some of it to church and treat my girlfriend to a dinner or something...

Good Night..

Depressing Thursday

2007-10-11T22:21:00.000+08:00

Yesterday started a good day..Me and my girlfriend played badminton at Badminton World along torres street, and we did not even used up the whole hour playing..We played 2 sets and were already very darn tired. We lack stamina and we were grasping for breathe after practicing a continuous rally. We did not even worn out much the shuttle cock. Everything went smoothly afterwards, we went to NCCC Mall to buy some provisions for the restaurant. While we were roaming around looking for the liquid soap, my girlfriend's sister called her up on the mobile phone and told her that their Uncle just passed out around afternoon, and his remains are still in Toril. My girlfriend was shock and was silent for awhile. After speaking on the phone she called up her cousins and tried to confirm the info. After confirming the info was correct, she decided that she will go to Toril after dinner to condole and help out her cousins. So we finished up the groceries and went straight to her home and ate a sumptuous dinner.. Pasta was the order of the day. After eating she asked me to go home when she goes to Toril, so I tell her that I will be accompanying her to Toril.

She was glad about it and around 9pm we went to Toril with me driving the vehicle. After everything was straightened out on the expenses and everything. We went back at her place around 1AM already. We where watching TV when she suddenly moved to my front and kissed me. I was a little surprised because I was so glued on the Tv, and much to my surprise she was mad at me because of the way I responded to her. And her anger still lingers up to now. She was mad at me because of that little thing that matters very much to her. . . She did not even allowed me to hug her when I was going home. Nor a kiss nor a "I Love You"...

When I arrived we talked on the phone and asked her why she was so mad. And she told me that those little things, like me being romantic, me being intimate, and me being a surprise maker ( a little) was gone. I acknowledge that those are gone..I don't know why I have forgotten to be romantic and intimate..Even a dinner could surprise her before but now I can't even surprise her with a simple dinner date. We talked long and ended unresolved. She said that it is okay but the tone of her voice reveals her anger towards me..

I slept worrying and led to me not sleeping much, I woke up around 9AM and was feeling very heavy..Heavy on both physical and emotional part of me..My mind was also not cooperating. Making thoughts that are not conducive to resolving the problem. So I proceeded to work early and have lunch earlier than usual. After lunch I called her up to say hello and ask her how is she, and the answer: She's still mad at me..The tone of her voice was still very heavy. So did not converse much because my mind was also running around in circles..

Its late evening already, and I have texted her twice this day. My load was depleted so I only sent two text messages saying good mornig and the other one saying "I Love You". I already called her up awhile ago and she was watching TV. She asked me to call later..Her voice still heavy..She is still angry at me..

I don't know what to do...I am worrying too much..I am depress at almost everything and on top of it, I could not think of any other way to resolve this case..I can't trust my mind in giving me the words to tell her..My heart is also brick hard and cold...I still very much Love her.. But a part of me is just tired..Maybe that's why I can't be romantic and intimate.. Even my kiss is already very bad..It has no feelings in it..

Arrghh..just want to smoke my head off... :(

Thursday notes #1

2007-10-05T02:30:00.000+08:00

Good bye Thursday...

Another day just passed and whew..It was a good and bad day. Good for my work but bad for other things. This day me and my girlfriend should have attended a bible study but when I called her to tell that I am ready to go, she was asleep. So I did not bother to wake or disturb her, she had gone through a tough day. She had to go to the wet market around 3pm to buy some stuff for her restaurant, maybe she was soooo tired afterwards that she rested and slept. Anyway, it was fine, I can have more time for work and rest also. I had dinner with my parents at Banoks Ihaw-Ihaw - Torres street, the food was not so good, it still has some blood in it and the waiter was rude. I'll give that grill house a thumbs down for bad service and food not cooked properly.

I did not played Triplejack poker for a couple of days already, so its a good sign. But I did some target practice using my DE M50 Sniper Rifle (Airsoft) and hit at the cans I laid on our improvised firing range. No rats on site this day.

Time to sleep..must get energy for tomorrow... :D

....and one more thing, my salary has not yet arrived.. :(
I hope it arrives tomorrow.. :)

Welcome October!!

2007-10-03T13:59:00.000+08:00

This is my 1st post for October...Did not actually end the month of September with a blog..I ended September with more work still to be finished. The email checking has been thankfully completed, worked till 4AM this morning just to finish it on time...Not actually on time, but at least not too late. This day my boss has so much things to do at office and he has meetings to attend to, so I am basically left with the usual work load. As of this month, I am already 1 year and 1 month employed by my current employer. Just was wondering why some people are not grateful to having a job?? I am sooo grateful for my employers..My 1st employer was also an Australian, my work was basically link building. It was my first take on the world of website marketing and search engine rankings. The job only lasted for 3 months, the project was canceled due to funds. My 2nd and current employer is also an Australian and I am still basically with website marketing. But my current task involves for that website marketing, but also task to do some email support to its various websites. I have learned a lot from my boss, that is why I am soo grateful for having this kind of employers. I am soo thankful to God for giving me this work..

Now back to my thought of why some people are ungrateful to their employers..One case is the former employee of my girlfriend's business. She is soo ungrateful, she even burst out and accused my girlfriend of a number of things, she even has the guts to file a case..From my point of view, this woman somewhat resembles a communist thinking here in the Philippines. Those communist hypocrites that lambast the government of human rights but when you say communism, there is no human rights in the world of communism. This is why I am labeling this woman as a communist, a member of the New People's Army. A member of a derelict and old way of thinking, a way of thinking wherein the people that would benefit are only those in power. A #^&!^* way of thinking..

My day has just started, I haven't yet eaten lunch... :D

Weekend Rush #2

2007-09-30T12:11:00.000+08:00

Its another weekend..yes its a weekend already..I still have soo much to do here for work. This is my 2nd weekend that I am going to label as "Weekend Rush". I still have around 3000 emails to check if they are publicly available or not. My boss and his department has been on preparations for major web marketing operation and they need these emails to be good as possible. Making sure that every email is publicly available means that the email's should be searchable through Google.com or is listed in the owner's website. A major repercussion if you send an email through a non-listed email address is that they would probably not respond to your email or at worst will be asking too much question on how the email was sourced. These would lower the reputation of your company, especially if your on the web based services. Now, enough talk about work, I still have more work later, even after going to church, I still have to work...Now, I did have a very good sleep the other night, my slight cold was hampering me from sleeping early, but a dose of decongestant gave me a restful and very long sleep. I was reading one of my scale model magazines and was wondering when will I start building my 2 kits here?? I have an F5 Freedom Fighter and a Super Puma kit waiting for assembly. The super puma kit was already started, but it has not moved an inch after that..While I was reading, I was thinking of buying a small air compressor so that I'll just air brush it..But it put my into another thinking mode, where will I buy a small air compressor? with tank..All I could find in hardware shops are those big compressors..All I need is a small one..Another thinking question came up..Where would I buy the air brush tool? There is no hobby shop related to scale models here in Davao City...Do I have to source it in Manila and have it ship? Possible..But How much all of these would cost me? If it is around 10,000 pesos, then I will probably put this whole project in the back burner..I still have a website to build..Another one of my priority projects that have not yet materialized..

Ohhh my...must start the web site now before everything falls apart...I got hook up again with the Triplejack Poker Game..played for an hour yesterday..Its addictive..

Got to go work again..anyone have any ideas where to buy air brush tool and air compressor? Both for scale model painting..Thanks

Just started playing this cool poker game here from Triplejack Poker - its free and fun. My brother was the one who I saw playing this game about 2 hours ago, and I was looking at him playing the game and saw that it was entertaining. So I'd asked my brother for the website and registered, verified my email addresses and I was set to play poker. I played only for 2 hours or so but one thing I can tell is that this is addictive..I still have work to do that is why I forced myself to stop playing for awhile. The game and the players are fun to play with, just start at the beginners lounge if you have not played any poker game before..Like me.. :D Its a nice and free game.. There are tournaments also in which you can win a free premium account where you can even play and have a big chance of winning cool prizes and even cash..

So, what are you waiting for..Play Triplejack Poker now..

Monday Rants #2

2007-09-24T17:53:00.000+08:00

Another Monday but the day is not yet over, its still early evening..I don't know why I'm writing this blog this early..anyway, my weekend was sleepy..Last saturday, I woke up 11 am..I did my laundry and at the same time played civ4: Beyond the sword expansion. Had my lunch around 3pm already. It was a very hot day, that is why my handkerchiefs were already dry in just a few hours in the sun. During the evening, we went to my sister's house to celebrate the first 1 month of his new boy. We had a great dinner..and a great desert. We ate durian and after that ice cream. I was sooo full and was already sleepy when my girlfriend ask me to fetch them at Pequeno Grill. When I got there I did not know that I was wearing a sad face..I was just sleepy..My girlfriend assumed that I was angry or not in the mood, which was not..The night went out a little stressful, with me still telling her that I was not angry..just sleepy an everything..anyway this little confusion was remedied the next day.

Sunday was a great day also..woke up late again..But me and my girlfriend manage not to be no too late for church. It was a great time having to hear the good news..But I am gonna admit, just his morning I have already sinned again. This is me, I am still trying my best to do what is right in God's eyes..

Monday is not yet over..I am still half way to my work.but I'll go out awhile.. My girlfriend has not replied to my call yet. I'll call her again..

Wednesday Blues

2007-09-20T02:18:00.000+08:00

Bluer than blue...Hmmnn..This day was a little sober day, temptations on not to work efficiently and also temptation to play Civ4 was also there. It has been quite awhile that I have not played Civ4: Beyond the Sword game, I even have not finished the GTA:San Andreas and Sniper Elite Games installed here in my PC.

But today, me and my brother proved that our recently purchased DE M50 Sniper Rifle (airsoft) can kill the RAT's roaming around outside of the house. The rat got a hit in the head and was badly hurt that it was just laying there in the waterway grasping to concentrate in getting out of the firing line. My brother swooped out of his position and moved close to the rat and unleash a barraged of 0.2g BB's all over the rat.To make sure the rat was dead, we poured some gasoline and set it on fire. My brother will be cleaning up the mess this morning.

Me and my girlfriend did not see each other today, but we did converse awhile this evening..She was tired from her tasks, she has not finish the accounting task for her laundry shop business. Tomorrow I'll see to it that we see each other even for just awhile, getting a dinner or even a snack, I am out of cash already, there is only 30 pesos left in my pocket, but I will be receiving 400 pesos tomorrow for fixing a clients PC. That would be enough to spend some time relaxing with my girlfriend. I think I'll suggest that we take one of her dogs to a night walk..Euka??

Got to go sleep..bye.. :)

Monday Blackout

2007-09-19T01:40:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was one disappointing day. For 8 hours there was no electricity and worst for more than 10 hours there was no water. Davao City experienced its worst blackout ever. Davao Light and Power Company was not to blame for this fiasco, Transco is to blame for this. At first, I thought there was a bombing on anyone of the hundreds of transmission line towers scattered in here in Mindanao, but that thought was proven wrong when there were no reports of this happening. There was no electricity, no water, and no news on why this happened. DLPC could not give any advise to the public due to the fact that they too where not given full disclosure of information from Transco. There was both miscommunication between Transco and DLPC during its sychronization phase and also blunder for both of them. DLPC's blunder was in the way there Transmission and Distribution handled the situation. There are certain protocols that are followed when it comes to these events. DLPC's only power plant, the Bajada power Plant was running full power to supply emergency power to hospitals,the airport, and other government institution crucial to daily operations. But one thing they forgot was to provide power to the Davao City Water District's pumping stations. The DCWD pumping stations are mostly located south of the city, but for some reason they did not bypass available load to the pumping stations, which in turn there was no water for 98% of Davao City. The only 2% that have water are located in mintal area, where natural pressure from the mini-dam was used to provide little water to areas near the dam. The natural pressure exerted by the dam was not enough to move the water even to the nearby Ulas area. Now this is something DLPC should be inquiring to its planning and operations engineers.

Aside from this, I cannot work..another absent for me and another back log of work to do...

Today is tuesday and I am already finish for this day's work.I haven't even finished yet on some other task that was given to me last week. My boss is a little irked by me for not telling him that I cannot work on the Testimonials task, which was for last week.

whew...I am going to sleep now.my eyes are bulging already..

Weekend Rush #1

2007-09-15T13:15:00.000+08:00

What!?!?! weekend already??? I still have tons of work to do..To be exact back log of works to do. Its saturday and I can't feel that its a saturday already..I though it was still friday. I still have work to do here and I have 2 computers to be delivered this afternoon. Both were infected by worms, a trojan horse, and a virus. These days, even a well protected system can still infected by these nuisance programs with just a plug of their flash drive. VBS.small and that smithfraud.c are medium risk to my classification, but left to run on your PC, they can probably shut it down completely within a week or so. My sister's PC, which was infected by a smithfraud.c virus nearly gave up..I was going to reformat it already but it finally have me accessed Windows XP in safe mode. So I just executed the smithfraud removal tool, I forgot from what site I downloaded it, but it worked. after removing the smithfraud I rebooted again to safe mode and scanned the entire system using AVG Free, AVG antispyware, and spybot search & destroy. It finally cleaned the system so that is 1 of 2 for me last night. I am currently re-installing the softwares for Pc #2, which was infected by a much more sinister virus. I can't logged onto safe mode or any other administrator utility programs. So I just reformat this one and install back everything..

I'm going to work now, I have not yet eaten lunch nor breakfast but I had my coffee already..

Good day..

I now already have a Php14000.00 debt to my parents. And if my boss forgot to send my salary to my new bank account, then that would be trouble, He would have to send it again to my current account number and wait another 3-4 days before receiving the money. With that grim scenario my debt to my parents would balloon...In any case I have to work my ass today, its tuesday already and I need to sleep so that I can wake up early and work early...a meeting is also scheduled with me and my boss this day.

Since this is my first monday rant...I need help..not from someone but directly from God himself. I am loosing my energy to work, energy to keep a happy smile all through day..I also need help in how to be communicable but at the same time limiting it so that I won't be annoying. My girlfriend is very busy with there project, there opening a restaurant in Catalunan Pequeno. Love the idea but problems battered my girlfriend and the rest of the co-owners. Money was the main problem, while material flaws ranked second on the list of problems.

The guitarist and vocalist-friend have practiced their stuffed just this evening and it was
nice to hear smooth acoustic songs, it pushed me into a coffee craving. That was still evening, so no coffee, but there was coke softdrink, so it ws a good alternative. My softdrink consumption
is getting high, I must try to lessen it this day because I know that on wednesday it would
increase because of the food that I will be eating on that day. Its going to be the soft opening
of the restaurant, aptly named "Pequeno Grill" or "PG" for short..

I must sleep now.... :)

Hobby #1

2007-09-11T02:37:00.000+08:00

Just bought my first airsoft gun, its a DE (double Eagle) M50 Sniper Rifle. Bought it yesterday as a second hand item. Total cost of the acquisition: Php 3500.00 . The rifle itself only cost Php 2000.00 only the rest of it is for the price of the optics. The scope is a Tasco 6-24x50 scope. Usually for airgun use but fits well into the gun, good for long range sniping. I was advised by the previous owner to use 0.2 BB's but I can use 0.25 or 0.3 but will limit the range of the gun.

By using a 0.2 BB max range would be 70m~ and FPS will average around 350, but I cannot
test this yet because I don't have the equipment and environment needed to get an accurate
data. Me and my brother already tested the gun but using a lighter 0.125 Bb, and the BB
swerves to the upper right, so what we did was to compensate it. My brother already had
3 rats injured but not dead..the lighter BB could not penetrate through the rat's skin, but atleast
he injured 3 of them. where no out of ammo and I am still waiting for my salary to be deposited to my account, xoom.com has not yet deposited it into my account, so still waiting here.
