Yahoo!

it was always there, and yet i never tried it even once.

when i was able to access the internet for the first time, around 7 years ago, the first site i went to was the famous www.yahoo.com. using its search engine, free e-mail, and geocities. after that it was just a surfing spree with a few mmogs' at the side. then there was the yahoo messenger which i started using 5 years ago, second year college. Yet until now...

going back to the yahoo website today just to figure out, that there's more to yahoo other than mail, messenger, etc. there's Tech, which is a good source of information on new techo stuff.

i should have been reading those stuff a long time ago, to use up wasted time on downloading anime and stuff, rather than watching a download bar move .01% at a time.

its a good thing to find out something new everyday. even by just bumming in front of a pc the whole day.

tag ulit XP

ok since this is better than actually doing nothing but daily routines of nothingness.

devJome tag again...

This is how it works:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag three people.

4. To solicit from; request of: could I ask you a favor? Ask her for advice. 5. to demand; expect: What price are they asking? A little silence is all I ask. 6. to set a price of: to ask $20 for the hat.

the first book i got was a manual that doesn't have a page 123 so o got to next closest book... the dictionary =P

My first major car accident

after a few weeks, even months of not writing a log. Today, no yesterday gave me a pretty good reason to write one.

the first car accident when i was driving a car was running in reverse hitting a wall. i smashed our rear left tail light. the second was simpling slightly bumping a Public Utility Vehicle, with virtually no damage.

but yesterday 07-13-06, around 7:30pm was my first hand experience of a major accident, with me as the culprit.

looking before it was already a rainy day, a strong wind and rain shower. after just leaving a friend at her house, we went straight to our other friends house. Sadly, along the way, (i was a bit frautrated over a useless, simple, naive argument) speeding at around 80-100kph, a car from the other lane was about to take the left turn. i hesitated, yet i still stepped on the gas pedal. suddenly, the other car took a right. i was forced to slow down, then i realized that slowing down won't be enough so i stepped on the brakes as hard as i can, only to end up hitting the rear end of the other car.

going out of the car, with a serious face, not getting over my anger. i went to look at the damage. my headlight and park light were shattered, my hood had a bit... of a bend my bumper was chipped. Yet looking at the other car with just scratches made me realized that i might get banned from driving another car for a while. the first thing luckily that came to my mind was to call my relatives, specifically my uncle, telling me that, we have insurance, theres nothing to worry about, get his name and phone number and give your name and phone number then call your dad. my heart started pumping, just thinking about what might the other car owner tell me. and yet it was like he was not worried, and ask me, what should we do now, i need to go. this statement made me feel confident enough to finish the task my uncle told me to. after the exchange of information the other car left.

i was told to go home, i was really expected that i will be scolded by my dad, mom, and uncle. Yet, my dad just said, its ok, these things happen and its raining so i guess the road was slippery. and i was about to fix the car already so its ok i'll call the owner of the other car to make arrangements for the insurance claim. the my mom just said, don't worry about it, i also already had many accidents with the car, so its ok, maybe next time you should drive slower. and my uncle well he didn't talked about the car at all... =P

so i guess the only lesson to learn would be to control myself. they just made my guilt fly, instead of killing me and punishing my in other ways, they just made me guilty... "TAE!"

...

... still don't know what i would do for this year aside from assisting... whether to get another course... study vocationals... or just plain work...

sounds positive, but should i really believe?

Introduction

This report is a short edition of the AstroText Portrait. It is meant as a sample and advertisement for the full version of the AstroText Portrait which can be ordered from Astrodienst as a bound report of about 20 - 30 pages. In the short edition, only a few, but nevertheless important aspects of your natal chart are considered.

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.

The report was generated with the following birth data: male, born on 13 August 1984 at 5:23 pm in Manila, Philippines.

Your sun sign is Leo. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Aquarius, and your Moon is in Pisces.

Partner references which may occur in the text are set for a relationship with a woman. Explanation



Sun in Leo, Moon in Pisces

You were born with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Pisces. The Moon in Pisces gives you an outwardly passive personality, while the Sun in Leo makes you internally very positive and clear. You were born with all the qualities to be completely successful in life, both materially and psychologically. The Sun in Leo gives an individuality that is proud, dignified, commanding, magnanimous, reliable, fixed in opinion and principles, and with tremendous creative potential. The Moon in Pisces, however, gives a personality which, although very emotional and creative, lacks the strength of character to act on the many procedures that are necessary in order to reach your goals. Externally, you are predominantly a Piscean personality. People view you as essentially intuitive, emotional, and expansive. You are attracted by the intangible, which may bring you in touch with all that is beautiful and mystical. In love you will be intensely emotional and sometimes lost in a nebulous dream. The key to a better integration of your being is to combine all the positive aspects of Pisces, that is, your creativeness, altruism, and emotion, with the practical and courageous influences of Leo, which lend clarity and the ability to analyze situations and to exercise authority.



Ascendant in Aquarius, Uranus in the Tenth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Aquarius was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Uranus is located in the tenth house.

You were born with a natural disposition to be humane, sympathetic, original and refined in your dealings with others. Among your features is the ability to understand human nature in a sympathetic manner. Unfortunately, you do not always act upon your intuitions and may become rationalistic at times when swift and prompt determination is required.

The common Aquarian is good and kindly, but usually led astray by eccentric and bizarre companions.

Your tastes are refined and your discrimination keen. You have a natural inclination toward the esoteric and mystical side of life and you could develop some clairvoyant abilities. Basically you are a lover of freedom; in the realization of this desire you may go to extremes.

Although changeable in appearance, your life is guided by very definite and fixed principles, one of which is a constant demand for personal freedom. In love you are a strange character. You can easily be emotionally attracted to one person and yet unpredictably terminate relationships.

As an inventor you have no rival; your problem is that sometimes you lack the practical ability to implement your creations. Professionally you will be successful in any of the following fields of activity: modern science, electrical work, photography, archaeology, astrology, radio etc.

You will probably achieve certain prominence throughout your life. Your professional career, however, will be plagued with ups and downs. You should be viewed by your colleagues as a unique individual who has a genuine talent for invention and creation. Your activities are likely to defy existing conventional standards and patterns.



Moon in the Second House

The Moon was found in the second house at the time of your birth. Your business dealings and means of income will consist of a multiplicity of activities where you must relate to many people. The position is generally good.

Occupationally, you are going to be inclined to pursue money through popular activities.

In any case, expect a fortune which holds variation and fluctuation. Try to orient your monetary dealings to the general public for you possess the ability to succeed when in touch with the popular masses.

Note: The Moon is technically near the end of house 1 and is therefore interpreted in house 2.



Sun in the Seventh House

The Sun was found in the seventh house at the time of your birth. Among other things, this means that your individuality is required to accomplish certain important developments in connection with associations and marriage. It appears, that you will be married to a rather proud but dignified individual, and much of all the progress that you will make in life will be a derivation of your relationship.

In any instance, you can expect throughout life the origination of lasting attachments and noble friendships.



Venus in the Seventh House

Venus was found in your seventh house at the time of birth. Regarding marriage and other intimate relationships this is one of the best influences existing. You have been promised a happy relationship with a very attractive, lovely, and pleasing person. You have the potential to derive both emotional and financial gain through this connection.

Your individuality is thrust toward the environment and this will lead to happiness as well as a psychological compensation for any disabilities. In your interaction with other human beings, there will be harmonious relationships.

You will achieve balance through sentimental affection, aesthetics, art, and relationships.



Saturn in the Ninth House

Saturn was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. This indicates that your concern over the impermanence of all things will urge you to restrict your personality traits and assume a position of caution and planning before pursuing any important matter.

In a practical sense, your attitude to all higher intellectual functions is that of a studious, serious, and meditative person. You must, however, be attentive to the possible presence of several challenging elements in your intellectual make-up such as depression, fear, and severity.

tickle tickle... crap nothing to do...

Just for kicks, i tried a bunch of test from web.tickle.com which was very time consuming, yet fun. i just curious if these test i took were in a way accurate with what i am currently. The super IQ test was that i took was in another account.

Family Trip

My dad was planning to go on a trip. He decided initially to have the trip thursday 4/20, but it was cancelled and turned into a mall trip, which wasn't good either, because there was no mall open that day. So we went home and planned the trip the next day. The original plan was to leave Manila at around 10:30am. My dad woke up at 11am.

On the way, we met heavy traffic near Quiapo. Remembering that there was a church there and the public utility vehicles were cramming the place. After abount 30mins in that traffic the road was clear, taking the coastal road just for it being cheaper, and yet we got there at around 2pm. Some of you might ask why it would took so long. Err... we were going 60kph. I felt like maybe i should drive the car just to get there faster. But anyways we got there and first thing that came to my dads mind was food. We stopped by McDonalds, which isn't a usual choice if you went out of town, but hey were not that capable. After lunch we went to the picnic grove and had to pay 220php for entrance and parking, talk about tourism. We went around an "Eco-Adventure Trail" Heck! it was basically a trail, had no adventure, eco was just the natural plants growing on the mountain side >.<.

Then there's the point were we all go home. We left Tagaytay at around 5 and reached the house at around 7pm. Had a day out after a long while. At least my eyes got a little from from being in from of a computer 10 hours a day XD.

Thoughts

Prayer Success

`'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'

these are the words that was a topic of my two conversations today, my friend and my mom. telling me their success came through prayer. in time of their hardship and will to do something they pray over it. i dont know if its a direct message to me telling me that i should not continue backsliding, or its just mere coincidence. either way i still have my reasons why i dont go to church. well not reading the bible and praying is really my fault and its not really excusable.

my mom talked about it even furthur. telling me that why cant i have even just have a few minutes reading or even just praying when i have time to stay on my seat and stare blank into the air. and when people ask me what is my religion and i would still say im a protestant. yet i dont even do a single prayer... tsk tsk...

`'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,


Destiny

`'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.,,.-'``'-.

i dont understand how people get to be so lucky how others life sucks. yet no matter what happens, it happens for a reason is it just coincidence or just plain destiny. is everything already preset or i there a loving God who still gives people chances as they do mistakes. for example, if you already read my blog where i lost my job, the whole of february was like a scouting month for less than 28 days it was like i was never home when daylight came. if i still had my job it couldnt have happened. talk about timing...

Wanting is different from needing...

When i was out with my dad this afternoon; which didn't happen for a long time, the last time we hangout was about 4 year, and the worst thing about it is we live just around 2 kms. away. we bought 2 jeans, 1 cargo pants, and 1 slacks. which were on sale for an average price of 400 each. (good jeans and pants really cost around 1k a piece).

the reason i wrote that title is because he actaully was going out with me to buy me a new cellular phone. of my choosing as long as its way less than 20k-php. while picking the phone i started thinking. what features do i want, and if thats what i want do i need it? will i be able to use it very often? is it really worth it? or my handy nokia3310 be enough for the rest of my dull life? since i already accidentally dropped the phone 5 times and it still works, hitting it on table and walls. i need a phone that could call and text(period) nothing more. having a new phone is just for brags for a while then im back to nothing but call and text. buti nalang d pa me nag buy... pero pag may stock just for the heck of getting a new phone... sama ko.

and another thing i realized, i guess im just sleepy but i can't fix my grammar correctly.

3/4/06

Morning till afternoon today was a meeting eating spree for our organization closing ceremonies. We ate buffet at a restaurant called Dads, Kamayan and Saisaki. Which serves 3 cuisines: japanese, filipino, and italian/american?. After the eating/meeting spree we went to the arcade played a few racing and shooting games, then went home.

Upon getting home i became an instant driver, driving first to my aunt house to pick her up, then to a restaurant called Mr. Poon, chinese restuarant. After eating headed straight home and now typing just to put something up.

Recaping it that was 4 types of cuisine in 1 day, more than 10 hours not home. And only spending 200php. XD

am i too kind?

hopefully not, but i guess i can't answer this simple question by myself. in some situations there are times that i know i had to barge in and fix / give solutions to a given problem, but in most cases i ended up staying silent putting up my airhead image. sometimes i know i had to comment on topics/problems but i just end up listening to what they are talking about without taking sides. should i be more outspoken, the only thing i fear if i talk is that people will feel hurt, abandoned, and cheated. yes i know some of my friends limits and i keep it to that limit, but to new people who i haven't been much with. but even though i know some limits, these limitations are usually not yet the real limit, but the limit i set for each person. being to conio again? i don't even know what that means hehehehe. lame english is the way to go for me.

maybe i just want people/anyone to be angry at me...

Feeling sick

for the last two days all i got from students was water from water jugs and water bottles. when i woke up this morning, i can feel my tonsils becoming heavy, indicating that i might have a cold, or a fever. either way i'm going to have a hard time swallowing food and beverages again.

lesson learnt don't be inbetween or be part of a water fight.

Got heated.

what causes fire? heat. just got fired from the job. it not like i'm unhappy, but in a way i was already thinking of quitting the job anyway. i don't understand peoples expectation, they always compare their success to their employees. i mean my boss could have just said "I could have all done it myself, since you just cause me delays on deadlines of open betas". heck when he hired me i only had 2 targets to learn how to assemble and troubleshoot. i don't actually care about installation and update of games and os. and i guess if i don't get fired, i will quit a few months after anyway, since i can't learn anything new at the moment.

i just get to lazy and bored easily. i guess no job would actually suit me until i learn to have better patience and a better sense of responsibility.

at least now i could dedicate time for my social life. overnights are killing me anyways. tska nakaka hiya na rin sa uncle ko...

good days, bad days

my aunt came early morning with my baby cousin, which by now should be a year and a few months old. i am fraustrated over a basketball, where the heck have you ever heard of a rule where a technical automatically kicks you out the game. crappy cheaters. what else could i do, whats done is done. whats bad about it is this anger carried over the throughout the day. then it was followed by a student where i felt so irritated, heck we should be playing card games inside the school but WTH. then i lose the appetite for eating out and playing dota for some unknown reason. i just can't feel the fun today. coming home i just realized that today was chinese new year. now, listening to some tunes, hitting the keyboard, thinking of what went wrong.

tso sit

to think that i might have a long break, more than a week. i got a call, asking me if i have already brought a cd of the GIGA3 Update of RF. crap, i really need to look for a regular job. i think im better off with a regular job than killing myself with non-regular graveyard work. if i need to install that GIGA3 in 148 computer worth at least a good 10-15 mins(not including setting up) each. and a deadline of 1/25/06 morning. 2220 minutes / 60 minutes = 37 hours. the worst thing about it is i still don't have the cds, yes, that includes a "s", 3 cds to be exact. if my future would really be like what depthcharged dreamt(hopefully it doesn't actually happen). then i should really start to looking for a brand new job(waiting for graduating, stupid thesis).

the only problem that i actually encounter for these graveyard work, is that i still manage to wake up at around 8-10am, whats worst is, if i got home at around 6 i don't sleep anymore. stupid body clock won't adjust. buti pa si bigdrich, sanay na. although i won't survive on a call center since 1. my english sucks 2. i daydream a lot 3. and i get pissed off very quickly. maybe i should go parttime/regular in GCHS, although the only fun thing there is the people are... happy. hm... what if i try to apply in banks, as network admin or just a simple teller, all i wan't is a "free weekend".

Yet another I HATE MY JOB post...

hmm... 1:35am in the morning of a monday... i've started to realize what kept me from leaving this job... YES! I REALLY HATE THE WORK, but the only thing that keeps me in this joint is the reward, people, and knowledge i get, else i would have had already left this job months ago...

i mean common its not like a call center that you regularly become a vampire, or an office job like most people have. i will probably wake up later at around 9 or 10am and i bet i'll reach home today by 4:30am. ok so most of you can handle little sleep. I DON'T. cause i can't sleep until around 4:00pm on wards if i really lack sleep. i don't even think i making sense right now... well anyways ... trying to finish work don't want to lose the idea of knowing why i kept on doing this weird job.

PS i still have to work monday evening till tuesday morning so probably no gimick for monday night...

edited: just to add... hmm.. i'm waiting for them to fire me >:) since i have no replacement ATM, and i'm assuming his waiting for my friend in college to graduate. my bosses will tolerate my laziness until march or the end of summer.

The things i lack

last saturday i realized the one of the biggest mistake in my life was not being patient enough. in my years in serving my schools during summer, i always had an argument or two with parents and guardians who are enrolling at the school. i guess with this work and the new game im playing im starting to get a bit of more patience. why? work... i always have to wait for people to finish before i could even start, and everytime i work is late night. the weird thing is, i always wake up way before lunch usually 9 or 10 unless if i got home when the sun rises. game - RF Online this game is one of the hardest, farming, and grinding game i've ever played. you be stuck in 1 place for days and weeks and your still in the mid levels. if that wasn't patience i don't know what is.

i lack courage, kicking and hiding watching horror/suspense movies. starting a conversation with someone im not yet very close to. and being afraid of speaking my mind out.

i still lack many things that i don't even know yet. oh yeah... im afraid to be hated, i just don't know why...

Yet another week/month late night work...

since the ending of the celebration for new years. i have to resume work, maintenance and new games come into the scene leaving me again with no time for gimiks. but there's something in this job that keeps me going, yet keeps me unhappy. it keeps me going due to the knowledge i aquire and new skills i learned. but keeps me unhappy due to the fact that i can't do anything else. heck who can handle 176 computers in just one week. its just fraustrating. and you have to consider it has to be late night so that there will be a LOT LESS number of customers. except for 2 shops which closes full house. keeps me waiting for hours. hopefully ill finish everything by the 3rd week so that i could have fun again...>.<
