End of Days

It's the last day of the Julian year. I got no New Year's resolution list to give you, people, but I still got some kind of list to post here.

Things I learned and tried to accept in 2004:

1.) Quitting smoking is harder than it seems. Way harder.

2.) Giving gifts to people is so much fun, even more fun than giving yourself gifts.

3.) When you die, even if the frickin' bitch of a president hates you, she will insist on going to your wake.

4.) If you work hard enough on budgeting your monthly allowance, you could end up with a brand new car.

5.) Ala is not suplada.

6.) Disc jockeying requires a lot of brains. It's not for the brain-dead person.

7.) Tracing your roots makes you feel a better and complete individual.

8.) Mother Earth must be really angry at us. Imagine, snow in the UAE? It's a desert for Pete's sakes! The world is really changing now.

9.) DZUP is a member of the KBP, GMA not.

10.) Some fake items are bang for the buck, like my wallet. LOL.

11.) You get more than you give, more than twice more - I've just proven it.

12.) Nine really is a lucky number.

13.) When you believe in something firmly/strongly enough, it will work the way you want it to.

14.) I do everything to get what I want, and I usually succeed.

And I will continue writing this list until Sunday. Happy New Julian Year to you all!

Xmas in Frisco

I just wanna share my favorite internet radio station to you, people. If you listen to internet radio and are interested, that is. Meet Xmas in Frisco: SomaFM. The songs they play are kickass, I'm telling you. Well, if you're planning on listening, all you need is WinAmp, then after you install it, go to the Internet Radio dialog on the Media Library window and search for the station.

The MP3 download site is kind of down. Don't worry, I'll continue to post links to MP3s once it gets back working again. And watch out for a killer entry later tonight!

Softpedia

So I stumbled upon this site. It's a pretty cool download site. Go check it out yourself. Downloaded a lot of free software from it.

Meanwhile, Jackie and I went to Dampa in Libis this afternoon to go bargain hunting. We kind of followed #1 of my Top Eleven post. And look at what I got for my family this holiday season.

- a nice leatherette bag for bowling buddy Ellen, black with white trimmings, Php 60.
- another bag with some newspaper design on it for Aunt Celle, Php 70.
- a fake (oh yeah) Louis Vuitton wallet for Lolo, Php 200.
- another fake (another oh yeah) Louis Vuitton purse for Lola, Php 200.
- 2 SpongeBob Squarepants replica bag for bowling buddy Nancy and me, Php 150 (each)
- really bright and handy mini-flashlight for my brother Carlo, Php 100.

So I spent a little over a thousand pesos for all this and a Starbucks Mocha frap. It was a good deal. We had so much fun looking at all sorts of things to buy. Fancy clothes, accessories, leather goods, bags, toys (we never saw any sex toys, though), DVDs, everything. I swear I could have spent a lot of money if I hadn't controlled myself. I love shopping so much. I wanna do this a bit more often. I've been missing it a lot since I got busy will all sorts of school and DJ stuff. Oh well, I love bazaars. They should be around the entire year and not just during Christmas time to give us all shopaholics what we crave for.

Okay, so you see that fancy banner on top of the first post. It's a BlogExplosion ad. What is BlogExplosion? It's a site that offers free membership to newest form of blog marketing. Here's the deal, you sign up for an account, you go surfing other member's blogs and get credits for it, and as you build up your credits, you build up your blog traffic too! You get a credit for every two blogs that you visit, and then for each credit that you get, you get one visitor to your site. Isn't that cool? Aside from getting more people to read you, you also get to read cool blogs (I personally have seen a lot of cool blogs that I've never heard of). To see what the heck I'm talking about, click that fancy banner. There. At the top. Thanks.

Top Eleven

... things to do this holiday season:

1.) Suyurin all the bazaars that offer fantastic bargains.

2.) Forget your diet.

3.) Do #1 and give gifts to your family and close friends. [Don't worry, it's not so much of a budget-killer, this.]

4.) Don't give fake CDs.

5.) Sing Christmas songs. It's not corny.

6.) Go to cold places like Baguio or Tagaytay. Maximize the drops in temperature during this season. Remember, it's the closest thing to frostbite that we Filipinos can get.

7.) Prepare for an extravagant Noche Buena. It only comes once in a year.

8.) Be someone else's Santa Claus. It's gonna be extra nice for someone who's not expecting you to be it.

9.) Have a smile taped on your lips. Just this season. Please?

10.) Don't tell someone what you want for Christmas. It's amazing how people close to you could make you happy by knowing exactly what it is.

11.) Keep this in mind - Christmas is fun. Sexy. And Kinky.

By the way, do any of you people have any contacts to Studio 23? I think a part-time voice over job would be a well-suited one for me. Just tag me if you have any info. Thanks.

Oh, and I'm boarding tomorrow - alone! I sure am gonna be freaking out with all the things that I'll have to do. It's not an easy job. Let's just see tomorrow. My apologies for any screw-ups that would/could occur.

Today's Horoscope

Dear MJ,
Here is your horoscope
for Thursday, December 16:

An invitation will arrive shortly -- the kind you absolutely won't be able to refuse. This may involve long-distance travel, or at the very least, a long-distance guest. Ready or not, it's time to catch up.

Hmm, I'm excited about this. I wonder. LOL.

#

Are you people checking out the daily downloads? I put it up because I know a lot of people looking for downloadable digital music. And so, here, I got what you want. I'm only offering a download a day, because of music piracy concerns. [But hey, it's gonna build up, eventually.] The RIAA (US) has been exerting a lot of effort to get rid of it, but I dunno, they're gonna have a really rough time getting it out of every netizen's system.

I still feel bad whenever I see FPJ on TV or read about him in the papers. I still can't digest the fact that he's dead. I guess this is the only instance in my life that I can say is shocking - totally shocking. Long live the king.

Quit Smoking

If you regularly read my posts, you will recall that I made a promise on my Birthday Post to quit smoking for good. And it's only now that's I'm exerting effort on this one. I'm doing my own style of quitting. I should call it a therapeutic one, in the sense that I'm lessening my nicotine consumption - minus 3 each week. This should take about a month before I finally reach my zero nicotine consumption target. Right now I'm doing about 10/day. Next week, I'll start with 7/day. And it goes on.

Help me out! I so need motivation.

FPJ is Dead

Yeah, and I'm feeling really sorry for the loved ones that he left. Let's offer our prayers for the repose of his soul. I know he didn't have any political significance to most of us, but can't we all just do it for him as an institution in the local movie industry? Or, if you still can't do that, how about as a human being?

'Da King' is dead

Actor and former presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr., dubbed as "the king" of Philippine cinema, is dead. He was 65 years old.

Linggoy Alcuaz, a Poe supporter in the last elections who organized the prayer vigil for his swift recovery, told DZMM Poe passed away shortly after 12 midnight of Monday. Read the full story.

So I'm enjoying faster internet connection now. LOL. I love this DSL thing. I've downloaded at least 50 mp3s since Sunday. Oops, now I have to buy a new hard drive. Prolly a 40 GB one will do. Lemme add that to my Christmas wish list first.

Tell me, how the hell did Geoff become a VJ? Tell me! I'm so dying to know. Maybe it was because of Heart Evangelista. But even she can't speak. I'm really really wondering about how these things could happen - wondering so hard that I'm losing coherence in what I'm writing right now.

FPJ. In a coma. And it's making the front page banner of the Inquirer. I know, I know. He's important to most people. Even I was saddened at the news of his present condition. But aren't there more important things to tell people about? Like any updates on the Hacienda Luisita thing? How people were actually shot (read: murdered) while doing a rally? Ack, it really seems there's something that's holding them back to report on this issue.

Richard-Anne Clip

Okay, so I got this supposedly private cell phone video clip of Richard Guttierez and Anne Curtis kissing in my mailbox like a couple of days back, and it kept me wondering about some things, such as privacy issues and both sides of the story.

The victims' side. So we decide to call these celebrities the victims even when they're practically not. They have their porn video in everyone's mailbox (oh yeah, you don't have to think twice before saying that), and eventually, all over the net (uh huh, maybe all over the Filipino net). And maybe weeks from now they'll be guesting on Startalk and they're gonna go like, "It was a private thing, it shouldn't have been spread like that." How about this - it didn't look like you were being forced to do that kissing thing in the video. And if you're gonna go back at us like, "But it was Richard/Anne who was doing the filming." Hell no, it didn't look like it was either one of you who was documenting the whole kissing thing, either, because you were too busy enjoying each other's mouth. It had to be another person. You didn't look like you were being forced, so technically, you gave this other person your consent to do the fricking kissing thing filming. SO DON'T YOU EVER GO TELLING EVERYONE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PRIVATE IN THE FIRST FRICKIN' PLACE. We don't care about your dating life, okay?

The video-spreading people's side. You, yes, you. You must be like a trusted friend of this couple. Lemme remind you one small thing, please. These two didn't have trust in you for nothing, okay? It's not like you can trust just about anyone to shoot you kissing someone else and keep it a secret. You have to be a close friend of theirs or something. They give you their trust to shoot them kissing, not spread the video, you idiot. Even if point A (the first side of the story) makes an excellent point, it still isn't morally right. Besides, what do you get from doing this hideous thing? A frickin' broken friendship and a frickin' major intriga. You just don't make any sense to me. You really are an idiot.

I hope these people read what I have to tell them, these porn star wannabes and this idiot.

This Is True

Is it? Read out. Some funny true stories I got from www.thisistrue.com.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONSUME YOUR MERCHANDISE: Bay County (Fla.)
Sheriff's Office say John Douglas Sheetz, 18, and Misty Ann Holmes, 17,
called them to report a theft -- of their marijuana stash. They let
officers search their house for evidence -- and were then arrested for
possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. "They're America's
dumbest criminals," a sheriff's spokesman said. (AP) ...Maybe, but
tomorrow's another day.

CANNONBALL RUN: Just 45 minutes after Theresa M. Wilson, 43, of Curtis,
Wash., found her boyfriend with another woman, she says, she saw him
driving on the road. She rammed his car three times and forced it off
the road, state troopers say. "Oh my God, oh my God, that's not my
boyfriend," she allegedly said after the crash -- she had mistaken a
stranger's car for her boyfriend's. Wilson was arrested and charged
with assault. "We've got an anger management issue," the arresting
trooper said. (Olympia Olympian) ...Gee, I can't imagine why her
boyfriend wanted to move on.

WEDDED BLISS(TERS): Scott McKie, 23, and Victoria Anderson, 40, were
married in Manchester, England, but they didn't make it to their
honeymoon. McKie offended his bride with his "drunken toast" to the
bridesmaids at the reception, and she hit him over the head with an
ashtray. He responded by throwing a hat stand "like a javelin,"
witnesses say. A melee ensued that took several police officers to calm
down, during which time McKie head-butted one constable and socked
another in the face. The bride and groom were arrested, and Anderson
said she wanted a divorce. Total elapsed marriage time: 90 minutes.
(London Telegraph) ...Another 10 minutes and they would have made it to
"death do us part."

My Christmas Wishlist

I haven't posted for quite a long time, and I'm coming back with a super long one. First up, here's my wishlist for the season.

1.) A palm pilot. I really want the Palm Zire 72. Aside from the usual electronic organizer features like calendar and schedulers and stuff, it also come with a built-in camera. But not just a regular built-in camera, a mega pixel one at that. And it's got bluetooth too, so file transfer is a breeze.

2.) A wallet. If I could lay my hands on a Louis Vuitton wallet, an authentic one of course, I could say this Christmas is the best ever. Enough said.

3.) A new car. Perhaps from the supermini category. Oh, but I really am getting one. I'm selling my baby. As much as I love it, it's time to let go. The project is finished and I guess it's time for another one. I'm getting a Kia Picanto. I just paid the reservation fee at a dealership today. Go google for it. I'm feeling lazy right now to post a clickable link here.

4.) A digital video cam. Of any sort. As long as I could connect it directly to a computer, upload everything, and do the editing myself. Ack, my AVPs are killing me! Or maybe they're killing my budget.

There's my wishlist. It's not much. But if in a very unlikely yet fortunate case that I get everything on it, I'd be truly happy. Yes, people. I'd be truly happy. Even without a significant other for the 6th year now. Crap, 6 years straight has to mean something.
