Delusion

"... laboring under the delusion ..."

-phrase twice used in the Harry Potter books.

There comes a point where you can't fool yourself anymore.
When pictures show what you do not want to see.
Clothes do seem to be tight in places they weren't before.
When the scale says that I'm in the Heavyweight class when I'm ideally in Middleweight.

I know for a fact that it will be easier for me to start an Exercise Habit than to do a proper diet. Thus I turn to "Hip Hop Abs" upon the recommendation of my sister. With the Christmas season around the corner, this strategy will be put to the test.

Google continues to steal my stuff!

But does it in a good way though. Stolen probably in this order:

• Search - No need to explain.
  
• Calendar - I stayed away from Outlook so I used Mozilla Firebird and Mozilla Calendar. Google had .ics support so that got stolen.
• Translate - Babelfish was the bomb. I use this now. Jap to Eng anyone?
• Docs - I prefer keeping documents locally, but instant publish is cool. Ohh, here is a list of movies I decided to organize.
  

What has Google stolen from you?

Albus on Avenue Q

Read the article here.

JK Rowling still had some surprises up her sleeve even after finishing the last book of the Harry Potter Series. The largest bomb she threw was that Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School, was gay. There's nothing too wrong about that, I just laughed and thought that Voldemort was probably afraid of Albus because he's a homo-phobe :))

Ohh, "If you were gay" is a song from Avenue Q, which i got to watch with Tseri and Miriam. Rachel Alejandro's performance is brilliant as well as the other cast. Additional dates will be shown, so go and watch it if you can.

Got Stabbed...

or is the term pierced? Same difference. Was looking around for an earring to replace my clip-on when I noticed UniSilver also offered ear piercing. So its 70php for the bullet earring (dunno what its called... compatible with the piercing gun) and 120php for the bad ass chain thingie.

The earing that came free with the piercing... or was it the other way around?

Clip-on on top. Chain-thingie combo at the bottom. Red stuff is Betadine.

With just the image above as your guide, can you tell the whole story?

How I Met Your Mother

Shai* mentioned this show to me ages ago and just recently had I found motivation to actually watch it. Well, the good parts have already been spoiled for me, so I just had to catch up. I finished it just in time for the 3rd seasons' opener. Note to readers... I hate spoilers.

As the title states, the lead 'Ted Mosby' in 2030 tells 'the' story to his kids. Without spoilers, 2 seasons (44 30-minute episodes) later... he is still blabbing to his kids. But as he is not our dad, there isn't a dull moment as the stories unfold and a lingering mystery of who the 'Mother' is.

Did I mention a crush of mine is part of the cast? Band-camp/Willow Alyson Hannigan plays Lily, love-interest of the lead's best friend. That's Ted in middle, being smothered by his best friends (ep 2x18).

(edit: I remembered some time ago that it was Shaina that mentioned this show to me. Thanks Shai!)

Binabagyong Boracay

Day 2 [working via an Internet Cafe]
For the very first time in my 28 years of existence... I flew on an airplane. Thanks to a certain person nicknamed "j", I am here in Boracay for the first time and while there is a typhoon too.

Here are some pics for the meantime. I'll upload a butt load of pics when I come back.










I'm connected here thru Station 168 Internet Cafe. Laptop connected via LAN cable (preference).

I Want To Shoot Somebody!

For those who have noticed the lack of posts, I've probably preferred pressing the shutter. Even so, I feel that I'm not shooting as much or as often as I should. This is because I recently invested on a good great lens but haven't really maxed it out.

Although I have been open for requests from friends, I'd like to restate that I'm willing to take portraits... for free. Probably on weekends and in open places like UP or intramuros. C'mon I know you want to :D
