Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road? Shakespeare: To cross or not to cross, that is the question. Robert Frost: To reach the sidewalk less travelled by. Nietzsche: Unfortunately, the chicken got run over as it tried to cross the road. The chicken is dead. Jerry Seinfield: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place anyway?" Darth Vader: Because it could not resist the power of the Dark Side. George Bush: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here. Richard M. Nixon: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road. Voltaire: I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I will defend to the death its right to do it. Albert Einstein: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken? Joseph Stalin: I don't care. Catch it. I need its eggs to make my omelette. Para sa mas marami pang nakakatawang "Why did the chicken cross the road?" answers, try to visit this site. Linisin mo muna ang sahig n'yo before anything else. You'll thank me for it. Anyway, bakit nga ba nag-cross si chicken?! Me thinks the chicken was just playing XOX by the road... and everything else, glorified rumours. Mix-mix Du'n sa mga sumali sa SetUpYourWebsites, please please please for the nth time, paki fill-up po 'yung Contact Info. Hwaarrrh. Kulit n'yo ah. Hehe. Nandu'n lang 'yon sa lower part ng links. And please be patient, malapit nang mag-zero ang job queue at malapit na ding taasan ang reviewables. Anyway to stay updated, visit the forums. Sa mga nagtatanong pala, yes nakuha ko na 'yung pera. Gusto n'yo i-scan ko? Hehe. May isinulat pala akong short story entitled, Lower Higher. The story is more of an allusion with a philosophical undertone. Sana may bumasa para hindi naman s'ya manuyo (pun intended). At astig ka pag na-gets mo kung bakit gano'n ang title. Hmmmm. Salamat pala kay Mary for giving me an award. Kahit hindi man ito kasing prestihiyoso ng Philippine Blog Awards, I do appreciate it a lot: Anyway, wala akong mai-blog ngayon, meron kasi akong konting pino-problema. Post-vacation sickness? Nope, not yet, saka na pag one (1) week na lang bago magpasukan. Arrgh, the dreaded day. Yes, para sa mga hindi pa aware, I hate school. Ironic. Ayayay, sunny days are out, rainy days are in. Mas ayos 'to. I love the color and the atmosphere of bleakness -- 'yung malamig, makulog-kulog at ma-mist na paligid. Para pala sa mga Star Wars fanatics d'yan may in-email sa akin ang kapatid ko. These are the Star Wars Family Tree and Star Wars Through The Years Strip. 'La lang, baka gustong mong tignan. Hmm... may nami-miss akong tao. This is really weird. Di kasi ako affectionate nor sentimental. Kinikilabutan ako. Anyway try mo 'tong World View Test. I'm 81% Cultural Creative, 75% Postmodernist, 69% Existentialist, 69% Idealist (?), 63% Romanticist (?), 44% Materialist, 38% Modernist and 31% Fundamentalist (wata relief). How 'bout you? []

Binayaran Dati ay minention ko dito na meron akong raket. Pero konti lang kumagat, bahala ka *sticks out tongue*. I told you, hindi ako papasok sa cave na walang labasan (I can exit through the entrance prick). Here's the proof that I was paid: Kung tinatanong mo kung ginawa ko lang 'yan sa paintbrush, nah, I have saner things to do than that. On the way na ang I-Kard ko (I am able to track it through FedEx.com). Iyon ang pang-withdraw nu'ng pera. Ngayon meron pa akong pending $17. In just a day or two, aabot na naman ako sa $20 threshold. That's almost $40 in just three weeks. Yup, that just by writing satisfactory reviews. Not to mention na medyo binabaan ang puwedeng i-review na sites recently (nagkasakit 'yung proofreader). Pero since naayos na 'yung proofreader problem, malapit na namang taasan ang quota of reviewables per day, meaning mas malaking kita. Yipeee! Kung iniisip mong maliit 'yon, think again. That's a big amount considering 2 hours a day lang naman halos ang i-dededicate mong time. Wala pang boss, walang pressure and you could do it anytime, anywhere! I-ttry kong kumita ng $200 a month. I'm doing this for no one but myself. Haha, ang shellfish shellfish ko talaga. Shopping galooore 'to. Hwoohoo! Hmm, pag sinabi kong shopping hindi shirts, accessories or shoes ang mga binibili ko. Hwat else kundi books, gadgets, video game cds at iba pang ka-geeky-han. Wirdo ako e. Oops, pang-add din pala for the upcoming PS3/Xbox 360! Uy naiinggit s'ya. Para hindi ka na magkasala pa, ha, just click this: SetUpYourWebsites. And for an Ikobo account sign-up here: Ikobo. 'Yung one-time processing fee for the I-Kard delivery, sila na magbabawas. In short, wala kang gagawin kundi maghintay, you don't even have to remove your *ss from the very spot it's sitting on. If you have further questions don't hesitate to email me. (Ay, onga ba't di ko 'to naisip? Gamitin mo naman 'yung question box. Napapahiya ako e, naglagay-lagay ako wala namang gumagamit.) If you're not yet convinced, I don't know what will. Sige, mag-Jolibee crew ka na lang o mag-gasoline boy/girl sa Caltex. []

Please Insert Coin Nabalita ko ditong namatay si Lance, a fellow blogger. I was wrong. He did not. He had never existed. Yes, yes, ayon sa research namin ni LWS (at iba pang online friends especially one named scarlette) ang picture na nasa website niya ay hindi siya, kundi isang Chinese celebrity named Edison Chen. But I won't name the culprit, for diplomacy's sake. You know who you are. To get to the point, the Lance, the person and the site purported to have lived and died ay isa lamang fabricated personality, a sham, a joke. He's just a pigment (edit: I mean figment -- confusing words) of a person's wild imagination. Eat that! So for you who made this all up, read this: Nu'ng nakausap kita, you keep on denying and evading the question why Edison Chen and Lance don't look similar; they look exactly the same, dammit. Nalaman din namin na walang Lance Alvin David Madrigal na kumukuha ng kursong Philosophy sa UST. Heck, another irrevocable proof of your folly. And how will you explain what we saw on Lance's deviant art account (si scarlette ang naka-observe nito)? Excited ako. Lance died late April, how come he was able to visit his account three (3) days ago?!? Hahaha. You really have to call a mechanic, right now, to tighten those loose screws, pal. Tsaka si Lance at ang twin sister niyang si Lei ay supposedly laki sa Australia. Really now? Why the bloody hell was she not aware that there's no such word as confusement?! Bet if I crack your head open and shout, may echo. Where in the world did you misplace your brain?! But don't worry, sure akong walang pupulot no'n. Anyway, ayos na sana ko kung inamin mo na isa lang belated April Fool's day gag ang lahat ng 'to. Pero hinde. And that's what irritated me. Ginagawa mo kaming tanga sa di mo pag-amin, inspite of the overwhelming evidences. Sa conversation pa lang naten, halata nang nagsisinungaling ka. You really make my boring days electrifying. Your overreaction, your gibberish "wala akong magagawa kung ayaw mong maniwala", your defensiveness and most importantly your inability to answer a simple question. Pwe. Try better next time. Magaling ka *applause*, sa panloloko. Pero tandaan, real people are behind those cyber handles/names you're interacting with. And to hurt their feelings by such a pretentious play is definitely not worth a single clap. You could still continue playing that ugly little game of yours, if you want. But sorry, I've got no more tokens for your silly game. j00 g07 pwned, 5ux0r! Postscript: Marami pang details, pero enough na 'yang mga nabanggit ko. Ginawa ko 'to not really for anybody, I just want to expose a stupid impersonator. And oh, sorry for being a little rude. []

Maingay Na Katahimikan May sasabihin ako sa'yo. Ang daldal ko! Hehe. Drat. Just joking but not quite. Actually may madaldal na bahagi ang katawan ko, but it's definitely not my mouth -- it's my brain. Don't be scared, kung iniisip mong may naka-attach na bibig sa utak ko eh pa-check ka na sa psychiatrist. Personification anyone? Tingin ko nga hindi "madaldal na utak" ang tamang term. Ang tawag daw dito ay high level of brain activity. Kung may taong mahilig i-exercise ang mouth sa pakikipagdaldalan (or by frowning), at may taong pursigidong mag-exercise ng katawan by going to the gym, ako naman 'yung wirdong mahilig mag-exercise ng utak by thinking ad infinitum. Ngayon, ang mga thoughts na 'yon ay tina-transfer ng brain ko to my hands, na tina-type ang mga ito sa keyboard, na pino-process ng CPU para maging visible text, na binabasa mo ngayon at pino-process ng brain mo para makaron ito ng sense. The wonders of communications technology! Without the technicalities o'course. Anyway, nai-imagine mo ba kong nagsasalita habang nagsusulat?! That's weirder than weird. Gaya nga nu'ng sinabi ko it's my brain and hands working, not my mouth. So kung sa tingin mo eh madaldal ako in the real sense, think again. Remember you're reading my thoughts, not hearing my mouth speak (I'd be surprised if you do, haha). And oh, bago ko malimutan, I love words, very much. I'm telling you, isa ako sa mga ill-fated na batang nasa loob ang kulo. But I don't give a tinker's damn. *sticks out tongue* Dating Entries Nu'ng isang araw, binalikan at in-open ko ulit 'yung past entries ko. They all cracked me up! Andaming mali, andaming kulang sa sentence, ang daming pilit na insertions. Sa Filipino na nga lang ako nagsulat, mali-mali pa grammar. In any case, lahat naman siguro ng nag-b-blog/nagsusulat eh dumaan o dadaan o dumadaan sa ganitong stage. Self-denial, hmmhm, literally. Sigurado akong ang karamihan sa mga cells na nag-coconstitute sa katawan ko during those days are already dead by now. Naka-ilang mitosis na sila by this time, so in a way, HINDI NA AKO 'YON. Pero di ibig sabihin eh free from mistakes na ako ngayon magsulat. I can't even call myself a good writer -- not yet. Kelangan pa ng maraming maraming pag-aaral. Anyhow, isa lang naman ang ibig sabihin n'yan eh -- I definitely have to see my old English compositions, if you know what I mean. []

Halo-halo Punta ka dito: Will You Survive? Take the test. I barely made it out, but I did. Will you? Hmmmm. Anyway, para lang 'to sa mga wirdo. May tanong pala ko, kung may powdered milk, may powdered ice tea, as well as coffee in granules, ba't kaya walang powdered/granuled softdrinks? Whyyy?! Have you noticed lately? Ang init! Naaalala ko tuloy 'yung sinabi sa'min ng teacher ko dati, magsanay na daw sa init dahil pag namatay daw kami considered chilling cold pa ang init na 'to compared sa super searing heat ng pupuntahan namin. That's HOT and umm... was it hell she's alluding to? That's a grave assumption ha. How sure was she that hell is literally brimmed with fire? Or does it even exist? At onga pala naglagay ako ng poll sa lower right. If you have the time, please vote. Kelangan ko 'yan for some solitary research. At kung may tanong ka, anything at all, try using the question form. Pag sa tagboard kasi nawawala at maikli lang ang capacity. At oo, nagfi-feeling akong may magtatanong sa'kin. Anyway, hindi ba't parang odd na may naka-t-shirt at polo sa Encantadia? O baka nag-hahallucinate lang ako? Ulitin ko lang may P100 a year hosting offer ang nagho-host sa'kin ngayon. I repeat, P100 a year, not a month, a YEEAAR! Binalik na naman ng ABS-CBN ang Meteor Garden. C'mon, nagkaron na nga dati ng Meteor Garden Rewind, Meteor Rain (not sure of the title) at over promotion ng F4 tapos 'eto na naman sila?! I thought the hype was over. Nako po. Bibili na pala kami ng bagong kotse. You don't care? I don't care if you don't care. And I don't care that you don't care that I don't care you don't care. More so, I don't care that you don't care that I don't care that you don't care that I don't care you care. Ok?! And umm... lastly, ever heard of Yahoo! 360° Beta? Ito ay mala G-mail, kelangan mo din ng invitation. So if you want to have an account just tell me (comment here/e-mail). Tingin ko eh gagamitin ko lang muna ito for my online identity, since meron na 'kong Friendster. Dats ol fowks! []

Beauty Is Subjective?! May flaw nga kaya sa sinasabi nilang "Beauty is subjective"? I mean dati naniniwala akong beauty is indeed something subjective, na puwedeng maganda ito sa'yo pero pangit sa iba. But then nakapanood ka na ba ng Pimp My Ride? Palabas 'to sa MTV kung sa'n pinapaganda nila 'yung mga kotseng bulok at ginagawa nilang state-of-the-art. Ngayon, wala pa akong napanood na episode wherein na-disappoint 'yung may ari ng kotse sa end result. That means they all agreed on the objectivity of beauty at hand, 100% of the time. Look at this image: Masasabi mo ba sa tamang kaisipan, nang nakataas ang iyong right hand while your left hand on top of the monitor na mas maganda ang drawing sa right kaysa sa left?! Para masabing beauty is indeed subjective, kelangan it applies to all. But in this case mukhang hinde. Hence, you cannot say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" at all times for it does not hold water in some instances. Sa tingin ko, to appreciate beauty or rather to know if a thing is beautiful you need to use your logic. I mean di mo puwedeng sabihing pangit para sa'yo ang isang bagay kung napaka-evident namang maganda ito. Vice versa. Matino ba ang tao na magsasabing nagagandahan s'ya dumi? Naisip ko lang 'to, in a whim. Di ko pa gano'ng naa-analyze. P100 A Year Hosting (edited) Too good to be true? It's too true to be good! Ehe-he. Anyway dahil mabait ang taong nagho-host nitong site ko ngayon, ino-offeran niya ng napaka-murang hosting service ang mga regular na bisita dito. Ehem. Haha. Yes, that's dirtcheap! Just a measly P8.33/month. Yey! *confettis falling* Of course ito ay para sa may mga blog din or website na subdomain hosting ang dating gamit. Kung tinatanong mo kung bakit s'ya nag-offer ng ganito'y di ko alam. Nahihiya na 'kong tanungin pa s'ya. I'll just trust his act of kindness at kung puwede ba't hinde? I-e-mail ko na lang kayo (or ako ang i-email n'yo) for the code na kelangan n'yong banggitin to avail of the discount. Tapos bisita kayo dito: Vimicorp Hosting and look for their contact page. S'yempre contact them and they'll give you the payment details. Then go to a bank and pay. After which ipa-fax n'yo na lang sa mismong banko 'yung bank deposit slip. That's it. Agen maraming maraming maraming maraming maraming (madaming maraming) salamat ulit sa'yo host. God bless you. More success in your career. More power. Long live. May you have more birthdays to come. Haha kidding. *grins* Seriously, MARAMING SALAMAT talaga. []

Ayos Lang Bang Maging Ako? Aah, sometimes I just hate myself. Hindi dapat pero damn, I can't help it. Insecurity, a*shole ka. Gusto kong mabuhay ulit ang kauna-unahang taong na-insicure, dahil ako mismo papatay sa kanya. Tignan mo, how could you not hate someone who blames a dead man (or woman or a gay or even a lesbian whatever like I'd give a damn... which I already did, oh well) for her own misconduct? Mahalin mo daw ang sarili mo. I say, pa'no kung hindi naman ako kamahal-mahal?! How the deepest, darkest, dreadful parts of hell am I going to do that? Insecurity is an indirect way of saying that you don't like yourself. At nagagawa ko 'yon without even trying (as if there's such thing as trying to be insecure?!). So ba't ako insecure?! Because I'm different. Imaginin mong may naka-casual dress sa isang formal gathering. When you consider the whole world the formal gathering, isa ako du'n sa mga naka-casual attire. Now, that's weird. Minsan, tina-try kong mag-compensate. But I realized, it's plain wrong to feel superior out of other's defect. Ayokong maging unfair. Sa mundong ginagalawan ko, ang hirap humanap ng ka-uri. 'Yum bang favorite channel eh Knowledge Channel. 'Yung enthusiastic din pagdating sa mga malalimang usapan (like existence, life, cosmos, etc). 'Yung iniidolo din si Carl Sagan or si Einstein. And oh how could I forget, 'yung babae. Parang, ba't ganon?! Ba't di nalang 'yung kagaya ko ang common? Ba't kelangan eh ako pa 'yung naiiba? Heh. But then kung papipiliin mo ko, maging common sa paningin ng madla or maging kakaiba, I'd still prefer the latter. You guys just don't know what you're missing. To wit: "You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same." Then I'd smile. Lance Breathes His Last What happens if a blogger dies? Malungkot. Lance is a fellow blogger. He died due to a car accident along with his mom. Anyway di mo man siya kilala, sana eh mabisita mo kahit saglit ang blog niya dati, para at least eh you know who I am talking about. Then pray for him, his mom and his sister who's in a coma ngayong alam mo na kung sino s'ya. Ironic. Nagkaron ako dati ng entry asking what would others' reaction be if I die. S'ya daw malulungkot. What now? He's been a nice cyberworld friend. Thanks for all the visits and good comments. May you and your mom rest in peace. And umm... ok lang na di ka na bumisita ulit. Really. SINK Series Intro Kung di mo pa alam sasabihin ko sa'yo, isa sa mga simpleng bagay na nagpapasaya sa'kin eh kapag nakakapag-share ako ng kaalaman. Not really for altruistic purposes but for fun. Learning is fun! 'Yan ang dahilan kung ba't ko gagawin ang Sa Ikadadagdag Ng Kaalaman (SINK) series. What an acronym! Anyway, ito 'yung nasa sa gilid (right), mga brief info patungkol sa mga bagay-bagay na maaaring hindi alam ng marami (kakaalam ko lang din), scoping all areas, from trivial to important matters. Maglalagay din ako ng more info... to indicate a related link na mas extensive ang lamang impormasyon. That pretty sums up everything. Happy learning! []
