CSIT '07 Reunion 2010 version

 

It's been a while seeing my good old friends in college. I miss those times, laughing, studying and fun
programming. Hope we can have a next reunion with great attendance. See you next time guys and girls!

My New Nikon Lens

Last night, I got a good deal from a well known buy and sell ads online.
My new Nikon 18-200mm VRII. I feel like doing some photoshoots right now! Hopefully I can use it well if the Zamboanga City Photography Club can plan for a photoshoot. Oops ako pala creator ng groups na un. :P

After I finish my major project http://www.zambosale.com, I hope I can buy some stuffs like this on the site.


Wishful thinking!

My T61p retired.

Last night, after installing sc2 and addictive game. My laptop expired, crashed and killed. I hope I won't feel bad so long.. After watching the movie se7en, it makes me feel that I'm so totally attached to that machine and the game. I needed a break and my retired laptop is probably a heads up for me to know that God awaits me.


Thank you Lord,
CMA

Se7en Capital Sins.

Last night, I watched the movie entitled se7en. It was a 1995 movie and acted by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. Both are one of my favorite actors in Hollywood.  The first time I heard about this movie was wayback Grade School when we were having Capital Sins as our topic in Religion class.

Right now, I have to admit that I'm really sinful and these capital sins should not be ignored in our every day life. They just destroy us an rip everything apart one we have received from God's love.
 The movie made me think a lot of questions especially in the end.

1.) Is there any man able to control Brad Pitt's emotion, feelings and anger? Will there be a way to forgive a man that instantly?  His pregnant wife just got beheaded and the devil is taunting in his face.

2.) Will God forgive a Brad Pitt's character when he shot the serial killer? Brad Pitt knew that John Doe wanted him to pull the trigger to fulfill the last sin -- Wrath. 


I hope that by knowing what sin is, I will be able to know more faith instead of knowing sin.

Cheers,

Got my nikon 35mm 1.8f G

After long hours of tipidpc, I was able to decide to go for 35mm.

I hope to get better pictures with this one!

Tipidpc feed script

Out of boredom, I was able to create a simple script to get feeds from tipidpc. I was getting frustrated
while waiting, refreshing and reading at items. Finally, I made a script to automatically display the new active items for sale every 30 seconds. If you guys have linux/unix, install a text browser 'links' to run this.

<code>
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]
do
MSG=`links -source http://www.tipidpc.com/ | sed -n '/Buys/,$ !p' | egrep "PHP|viewitem" | sed 's/[^>]*>//' | sed 's/<.*//' | tr -d "\n" | sed 's/Posts/\n/g'`
echo "$MSG"
X=`echo "$MSG" | grep -i "laptop"`
if [ -n "$X" ]
then
echo "emailing....."
echo $X | mail -s "subject" user@email.com
fi
sleep 30
clear
done

</code>

There you go.. A simple script that also emails me on items that i'm interested on. Viewing this on my terminal is really addicting. Since there are lots of new items being posted every 30 secs.
Additional feature might be added to display the hyperlink in the terminal so that I can easily ctrl+click to browse it immediately.

Enjoy!

Shutter Island

I watched Shutter Island last night. I knew he was insane because he was hallucinating from the start of the movie.
I found it cool that he was able to create a different persona by himself. Pretty interesting because it was an anagram of his name.
I tried to search for my anagram also, so far this is the best for my complete name:
Attachable Orphans Mirrors
For my nickname:
normal
Sounds so cool!

Metro Manila Buses a Nuiscance?

Buses are one of the main transportation in the metro. Especially going to my Makati office, its one of the mammoths ruling EDSA. After spending a lot of time riding this transpo, I came to a conclusion that these buses are the primarily cause of heavy traffics. They do a quick right turn, change lanes, harrass with big horns and sudden stop for passenger pickups/unloads.

Standing on the Bus
It's probably one of the annoying things to see when I first came here in Manila. People standing should not happened. These buses have a max passenger capacity located near the entrance and just right above the tires. And those numbers represent something which the conductor ignores. Moreso, the worst part of is that those bus conductors try to squeeze in as much people as it can just to take all the passengers going to makati. It's just not right.. It's greedy, selfish and troublesome. What happened to Filipino's 'dangal' in this case?

Roaring Horns
I have lots of experience wherein I'm beside a bus and they tend to push their very load horns. I don't know what's up to them but as you know, those horns are so horrible in the ears. I bet if there is a research study on bus drivers, non-aircon bus drivers would probably have a high hearing loss. This has to be regulated.I think there are plenty of buses for everyone. If these buses don't tend to pickup more passengers when it is full, i'm pretty sure that metro would be not be as congested as it is now.As for the passengers, pakiusap naman if you see buses that are full. Don't ride on it just step down the bus. I noticed some drivers are rude. As soon as you stepped the bus platform, you are not allowed to go down because its loading zone? Geez, karma to those drivers. Have experienced a lot of cases like these.

Axel Revived my facebook

I recently deleted my Facebook account due to time wasted on bugging other people's account. Axel my future inaanak is so irresistible that I had to create an account just to see him. One month old Axel and very funny and cute.






P.S. While I was trying to download his picture in his mother's fb, I was sidetrack by my other friend's account. *@#$ , That's why I deleted FB in the first place!

See you when you grow old Axel!

Zambosale.com - My New Project

Recently, my buddies are currently working on a great project. It is an online free-classified ads much like craiglist.org, ebay.ph or tipidpc.com. I think this website should be great to the people of Zamboanga and nearby vicinity to improve their trade through Internet.

As the web transitions into a web 2.0, I think more websites such these are needed for Zamboanguenos. Lots of opportunities awaits this site. I envisioned this to become the next web portal, info, announcements, and latest news in the Zamboanga City.

Thanks,

More news to come...

The Treshold Finale

Finally, after 16 years of schooling. After all the bruises, cryings, the heartbreaks, the test, failures, the laughters, the hated teachers, the sexiest teachers, the fantasy literature and the classmates --- I did it! i graduated from college regularly with honors.

yes, now what? i did pass all the test from my RS teachers, from all those philosophical papers, the headaches of calculus and the never ending assignments and now i reached to the point where all of those stuffs are just a steps where i call the real world. Real world is tough and i think those steps are kinda waayyy to far just to make us prepared for this day -------- Getting a job!

Sadly, at worlds end when do i get a decent job? where do i get a job that makes me productive in the coming years. Are all my dreams just be a crashing mosaic? ...... *sigh

My Grandmother

Ammah died in November 4, 2006. During those weeks, we were so busy in guiwan for many visitors and prayers. I hope She rest in peace with God now. Guide as always ammah.

A very tiring week is over. I hope the coming days are fruitful and joyful. I hope to be more responsible today.

Research proposal signed!

Anyway, i felt good today because our research project was all signed by our panelist. Meaning, it's approved!! hahaha.. the tiring work is now over for this sem.

Just got a painful headache around RS time. Geez.. was it the rain or something?

Relieve of the Angels

After being hooked up by the prophecy of St. Fatima, my mind probably was invigorated with different thoughts. When we were young, we were told that each one of us has an angel guiding us. And that belief was probably long gone to me. Now, it's all coming back.

Well not entirely, coz my dream was about an angel being relieved in His position. that position was probably to guide. quite weird eh.

anyway, i was a bit glad to chat with my ex. I can now express clearly my deep thoughts and feelings for her. Although its too late, but i think she should know. I was devoted in to complimenting her at her acquaintance party. She was really beautiful. Which was very true. I was just sad to know that no one complimented her about how she looked that night -- even his bf. Geez.. what a lamer. How can He not notice in the first place..

I also shared about telling her about my XP in my retreat, I told her that i wrote about her. And to my surprise, she did the same way. Is this destiny? probably not. Destiny which is still blinded by God. Anyway, I know God has something up in His sleeve. Eventhough it doesn't pleases everyone it's probably for the best.


cheers, good night to all

Experience in Public Market

Anyway, in relation to my religious experience plus chrono crusade.

During lunch this day, my groupmates (me, grainne, jc, grace, carla and chy) went to public market to interview a person working there. we were tasked by our philo teacher Mr. Epino. Anyway, it's been so long that i haven't been to the place. The place where messy and crowded. I was just shocked that the person we interviewed was very sincere on what she said. Mrs soriano experience God despite the hardships in life. It was because of some miraculous experience during the past. About the strange but miracle medicine she heard for her husband and so many things.

Anyway, passing by the market made me strange, the scent of that kind of market made me realize of the level gap of the people around me there. It was sad, it made me think that Why did God make me not like them. I don't want to feel sad about them, i want to be them. I want to be poor so that i won't suffer the feeling of sympathy. This is a strange world. And Im spending a lifetime of thinking about this world.

How can I possibly say "yes" to God. I feel like i'm not God's favorite but im lucky in my life.

This is weird. I feel like im a saint. or not, i want to be someone like Jesus. But Jesus in this Century is like impossible right?

Chrono Crusade

A must to watch anime film. I thought i wouldn't like it but i find it very striking. The first few episodes were so much fun and amazing. I just find the last part very striking. There was this guy, father remington who eventually was an angel but in the end, he became a "sinner" or known as a fallen angel. Why did an angel did that? i don't know. But it was his penance he says. Then the other character who is the head of the Magdalan order gave up his faith. And everyone had like a turmoil in their hearts after the chaos done by the evil antagonist.

The last part when chrono and rosette was about to die made me feel so sad. This was a tragic film. The moment of their death was so perfect. I really like to cry after seeing their time running out.

The end was not the end. Aion or the evil antagonist was alive and assasinated pope john paul II. and the last message of the film was so striking that eventually made me read about St. Fatima.

Her prophecy was much like portrayed in the film. I now even know about her prophecy.
1) end of WWI
2) end of soviet communism
3) assasination of pope john paul II on october 13 1981. which was ironically the feast of St. Fatima.

I thought the ending was like a happy ending but it turned out to be not. The sudden twist of faith by the cool characters in the film makes the viewers also thinks twice about God's plan. Aion keeps telling them that God is a hypocrite and only watches from above. And in the end, the angel who torned up his wings also didn't want to ask about the Lord, he also doubts about the will of God in relation to situations of war.

Putting myself in the situation of father remington, i should probably doubt myself. But the very fact an angel which is all good to be made fallen. How can an angel fall in the first place? The only difference it would make if i was father remington was that I know that God exist and I met God. But how can he fall after meeting God? So many questions that made me think after watching the film.

Anyway, if you find yourself doing nothing in the internet, perhaps try searching the prohecy of St. Fatima. That would be worthwhile. Probably it would change your life.

marlon

My new blog!!

I have to edit my blog coz it takes hell of a time to load.


February 25, 2005
After the incident of stampedes and the landslides, a new
issue has been reborn "The edsa revolution." I strongly
believe that edsa was a history. Our pres. glo had taken
the president because of this and now the people who wanted
him as president uses the same technique to bring her down.
haaaizz. Those people from luzon really don't learn. Inspite
the progressive land and highly urbanized jungle, it's the
SUCKIEST place to live.

Theres a saying that "To obtain peace, you need war"
I believe that there is still hope for the filipino people.
It is to experience a warfare. anything that brings chaos.
With these, i believe that filipinos will open their eyes
and resolve to a better future. I believe this is what the
hearts of the filipino speaks.


February 14, 2005
Aha.. what a bloody heart's day! Nway,Kinda of an
experience this day. One of the worst thing that can happen
to someone this day happened to me.I learn some significant
thing this day. Kapag feeling mong gustong tumae, tae na!
hhahaha

Also, quite a day coz this is my first day to use Ubuntu!
weee congratz to me.

Also, quite a decision to make for Ex-Sec... -_-!
what do i do?
