Another day, another ATM card with defects. Replacing might take some time. I really should be more careful around these things.

Anyone using Facebook? I miss the days when my LJ friends page was really abuzz. Though admittedly, I got nothing as of late.

So, uh. I was reading through movie synopses and reviews at the local trusted place. One of the new releases involves a ninja named Raizo who wants to leave the way of living of his ninja clan.

Now where have I heard of a very similar premise before?

I work from afternoon to late night. I take an hour-long commute home, and arrive home 11-ish. The Philippine nighttime bus (or jeepney) populace is interesting, to say the least. I've shared seats with 'em all. Rich and poor, male and female (or LGBT), light-skinned and dark-skinned. I've seen pimps and their wards* ride.

I've seen a fight or two ( Read more... )

This country has way too many kibitzers and gossipers. In the native tongue, usisero at chismoso. Any kind of commotion or accident will prove that. So many people onlooking, but not enough people actually doing and helping.

Word of mouth travels freakishly fast in small towns.

Cellphones have spoiled people. So I walked into the restroom one day ( Read more... )

Another challenging week. I applied for a licensure exam (with the aid of a malware-plagued government site), survived some aches and pains here and there, and had a blast at work. The big crunch and greater things are yet to come.

Anywho, I'm tired and I'm still trying to gather my thoughts. What I really wanted to do is to post this:

I'm thinking of more things to say about playing SFIV and the WWE show last Friday, but I'm at a loss for words.

The SFIV PC version is here and... things have been wacky to say the least. Someone experimented with putting certain character movesets on other characters' models, and the results have been tragicomic.

The funniest thing happened at the pantry the other day. The TV was on and a chick flick (or rom-com as it were) starring Hugh Grant and some other guys was playing.

The looks on people's faces were priceless. The women laughed really loudly at the scenes or were otherwise going "awwwww" at the characters. The men (those who paid attention anyway) ( Read more... )

Is something wrong with AIM? I'm sending and the people are available but I'm not getting any replies. Is 6.9 known to be buggy? :(

Well, it doesn't bother me. I can still access what I want, and hopefully LJ crossposting is still good. As long as those two things are available to me, they can tweak it all they want.

Anyway, this is a week overdue. I put it on a notepad file and forgot it until the new Multiply layout reminded me of it.
