It is never too late to be what you might have been

Truly, life is so short. We are but breezes of wind that blow thru this world. Here one day, gone the next. No one knows how long they will live. You cannot choose how long you will live but you can choose how well you will live.
So many people wasted their short lives in here and spend their finals days waiting down in regret. There’s no more time to go back and re-do their lives. There is nothing left but a wish for more time. A wish that will never be fulfilled.  
We all have two choices as we live - we can make a living or we can design a life. There are many who spend their lives making a living.  They go off to work each day with no vision for what their lives could become and before they know it, their lives are over. and some are so fearful that their dreams they do have will forever be unfulfilled coz they never have the courage to take a risk to enable them to reach their goals  and live their dreams.

Bizarre reasons why i wont celebrate my birthday

This is a last-minute blog post before I head to the North for a vacation.

Why do we celebrate birthday anniversaries anyway? Do we really have to be reminded that we're a year older? Nowadays, my own birthday just depresses me and that's about it. On the 25th, I wish that there is nothing in the house to show that said day is another milestone in my life - another year gone by. So why do I not want to celebrate my birthday? I could come up with a lot of reasons or excuses for this such as “Sorry guys, I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning” or that it is a waste of money and energy, but the following are the deeper reasons.

“THEY ONLY SEND YOU CARDS OR GREET YOU
OUT OF A SENSE OF DUTY OR SOCIAL OBLIGATION” 


The reason is not because I do not want to clean up the mess or wash a pile of dishes taller than me afterwards or that I am a grumpy gentleman hehe. It is more of a personal perception and feeling. I personally do not enjoy the psychological aspect of these days. For example, I feel an iota of displeasure over few people who only make contact on birthdays. Magtetext lang minsan sa isang taon dahil birthday mo at pag ire-reply mo ng “thanks”, magrereply siya, “k”. haha nakakasakit ng bangs!

Isa pa, the brief messages on the card that have been written by someone else or forwarded text quotes about birthdays (na inipon niya sa inbox as template para i-send sa kung kanino mang may birthday) are, on few occasions, a bit irrelevant, inappropriate, not germane to, or perfectly reflective of the sender’s actual feelings for the celebrant. It is even worse when you know that they gave you a card or memento out of a sense of duty or social obligation. Nakakainis din minsan kung yong text na greeting sayo ay meron ka na non sa inbox mo para isend din sa ibang may birthday haha. If I am important and mean something to these few people, this should be apparent throughout my life at hindi lang one text a year (dapat nagtitext sila ng magagandandang quotes para may pang-forward din ako sa iba, OR pinapasahan ako ng load, OR nagcocomment sila sa mga wall posts ko para ma-beat ko si Alma sa number of comments) ahaha!.....

Gooooosefraba

Goosefraba.. What does it mean?

It is a soothing sound Eskimo mothers would whisper in order to sooth their young ones.


Have you seen the movie "Anger Management" with Jack Nickelson and Adam Sandler? There's a part there where one of the patients in anger management repeats the phrase "goose fra-ba" over and over. Kind of like a zen thing, to bring him back down and calm his nerves. Well I've been doing my own version of goose fraba-ing.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when you're upset, depressed, when you figured in an untimely and unanticipated breakup, or simply feeling fear, anxiety, despair, guilt, apathy, or grief, in addition to what many people would describe as typical "sadness" or other negative emotions, try to relax, close your eyes, take a deep deep breath and while you exhale, say "GOOOOOOOOOSE FRABA" Do this at least five times and feel the difference. >_<

Love is Passion

http://fijilive.com/ecards/icons/Love.jpgLove is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived. Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike.

How Could I be Computer-less?

http://www.netiva.co.uk/files/images/broken-laptop.jpgHow could i be computerless? This is a cute and hilarious music video that i've seen at youtube few days ago. With this clip, i was teasing my brother because he lent his macbook to my sister who flew to Ireland for another echelon of scholastic endeavor. The short music video illustrates how the singer's life became extremely miserable being computerless.
Funny thing is, morning of 26 October 2009, i was turning my laptop on to check my daily emails and news but it did not. I ticked the power button once again... the lights merely blinked then went off again. I openned the memory modules then replaced them, checked the physique of the harddisk, power supply etc. but to no avail. Being someone educated in computer hardware, i knew right away that the motherboard is the perpetrator. It figured in a legitimate hardware breakdown.

Feeling weakened and depressed, I checked the warranty papers provided by HP. To my susrprise, the warranty expired last month. I firgot to extend it to three years. having learned a lesson from this harrowing experience, I advise you guys not to forget getting your toys extended warranty for the obvious reason that hardware failures commence to exist when your toy reaches one year or older.


When my brother arrived home from work, I welcomed him at the door by saying, "now i can join you in singing, how could i be computerless" haha. My laptop's motherboard costs an arm and a leg and it will take a minimum of two weeks to order a replacement from HP USA where this laptop was originally purchased. Guys, love your laptops as much as you love yourself, especially when it is your primary tool of trade.

Prison Break Episode 14 Preview

http://blog.dk.sg/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/ji_prison_break.jpgMichael calls Self and says it’s time to meet. “I’ve got a better idea,” Self says as he pulls a gun and starts shooting through the windows of the warehouse. Michael tells everyone to get out. Self tells him that they are surrounded and to come out with Scylla or he will gas him out. “Come and get it,” Michael says.
On the rooftop Michael pulls a gun on Self and leads him into the warehouse. Gretchen walks in with her gun loaded and Sara pulls another on Self.

What's Inside your IPOD touch?

When i was a kid, i used to rip open our appliances just to know what's inside them. I get tools from the trunk of my dad's car then surreptitiously unscrew my subject appliance and rip its parts apart. I will then try to get acquainted with its internal system, do some fine tunings then test the effects. After this redundant ritual, i return the parts back together and i am always left with extra screws.
More often than not, our home appliances which were victims of my curiosity end up inoperative after a few days. Now, i always consult the internet before i try repairing my non-functional gadgets. 
This time, let's take a crash course at Ifixit on how to break open your Ipod Touch without damaging its internal parts then see what's inside it. Click this link.
