~Pacman plays Lucky 9~


Judging on the injuries sustained by David Diaz after his match with our very own Many Pacquiao, the latter surely scared the hell out of him...


Though Pacquiao's victory is anticipated, I wasn't expecting the fight's going to end on the 9th Round via KO... Lakas pa ng loob ko mkipag pustahan in favor of Diaz before the fight.... Buti walang pumatol ahahah.... To be candid, I had no basis in putting of my bet to Diaz... it was purely an instinct... It's just that the "Follow-Your-Instinct" motto isn't effective after all...yay...

Actually, 3 hours before the alleged LIVE coverage of Pacquiao vs. Diaz match with GMA 7, we already heard the outcome of the fight via AM Radio... (yan ang LIVE)... still, pinanood pa rin namin sa TV later on...un nga lang wala ng thrill.... panu naman simula pa lang sa national anthem ng Philippines, USA at Mexico, cue ng commercial... kada round, cue ng commercial.... mas marami pa nga appearance ung vulcaseal ska super glue kesa kina Manny at Diaz....almost 20 minutes ang interval whew!... ang gastos sa popcorn at crackers.... [kung meron]

But then, nag-enjoy naman ako sa last part... ung pinakaantay kong part.... ung iinterviewhin na c Manny ng media from America.... nakanang... hataw c Manny sa englisan ngaun.... onte na lang ung "u know...ah ah..." galing ng tutor nya wapakzz....impressive... kahit ako ata di uubra...lol... WALA KANG KATULAD MANNY!!!!....

~TsuNami sa UsTe~

I love RAIN... not only because it reduces the amount of mercury in the thermometer but also playing under it is absolutely a great fun... but earlier, I almost cursed the sky for dropping that vast rainfall in Manila...

Coming from an official business in Supreme Court, Manila, I and Kajo were on board of an FX when we were caught by a heavy rain... that was about 1:15 p.m... 1:30 p.m. nasa España na kami.... guess what??.... the road was no longer passable due to flood... whoa! in 15 minutes time ganun kabilis ang pagtaas ng water level dun???... geezz buti di ako nag-aral sa uste.... At first, I was thankful... Buti nsa FX kami... kahit matagalan kami makabalik ng office (expected ko na) ok lang masarap naman m2log kasi aircon... Asa lang pala ko.... the driver made a sudden turn to an alley along España to avoid the intensifying flood... gagarahe na pala c Manong di na naawa sa mga pasahero na bababa ng FX nya at maghahagilap ng mali2patan... T_T.... kasagsagan pa un ng ulan... lahat ng pasahero napa *&$!@#*! talaga.... kso wala e driver xa pasahero lang kami.... buti kahit panu may nasilungan naman.... sa isang tolda ng mga nagaalok ng condo unit rentals... "P10 lng para sa tolda" pabirong sabi ni Manong Real Estate Agent... pero natitiyak ko may laman un... wala pa cguro nautong customer sa inaalok nilang condo tsk tsk.... binigyan kami ng Flyers na tinanggap ko naman... usually tinatapon ko un dahil basura.... pakunswelo lang....

Minutes later, rain was sitll rampant... dumadami na kami sa tolda na sinisilungan namin dahil sa dami ng gumaraheng mga sasakyan.... poor commuters.... buti may dumaang jeep, sumakay kami... nkkhiya na dun sa may ari ng tolda.... "itatabi ko lang 2 pahupain ko muna ung baha," the jeepney driver said... labas ang ibang pasahero (nawalan agad ng pag-asa) but we opted 2 stay there for shelter purposes kesa mabasa.... wala man "palabra de honor" si Manong dahil hindi naman nya talaga hininto ung jeep nya, masaya kami.... He faced the approaching tsunami squarely.... buti matibay ang kanyang karburador... trapik man umaandar pa rin kaya di na tinuloy ni kajo ang knina p nyang balak na humagulhol.... She is not used to get stranded.... 4:00 p.m., at last nakabalik kami ng QC... 30 min. bago mag uwian whew.... buti maganda mood ng mga officemates ko at di nagusisa... di na rin nila nalaman ang mala-Ces Drilon namin karanasan pabalik...

LESSONS LEARNED:

  • Both lanes of España are not passable after a 10 min. continuous heavy rains
  • Drivers are not reliable in certain situations
  • It's not really a good idea to have ur children enrolled in UST
  • A Real Estate Agent's job sucks

~BANNED BrowN~

Waaahh!!! Bat naman ganun ung The Da Vinci Code pinayagan ng Catholic Church na maisapelikula… now they are opposing the filming of the Angels & Demons waaahh mas maganda pa naman un… kung 22usin mas malala pa nga ang “blasphemy” sa TDVC yet they allowed the adaptation of the said book… Y not the A & D??.... palibhasa sa TDVC c Jesus Christ ang kini-criticize while sa A & D ang Pope ang binabanatan… ganun ba un??... weee I don't wanna get excommunicated ... and I'm not an agnostic either.... Para sa kin kc out of reason na ang pagpapalaki ng controversy sa mga books ni Dan Brown... First, these are just fictions... the fact that the publication of these books was not questioned and opposed, parang pumasa na rin ito sa quality control... Second, the issues in the TDVC had already been laid down and disseminated to the public through the book and the movie.... May ngyari ba???... Di naman nabuwag ang Vatican... Wala namang naglitawang bagong Priory of Sion at Illuminati para i-continue ang kanilang mga views and beliefs.... Di naman nagsara ang mga churches..... Mayaman pa rin ang mga pari (jowks)....So, sana pumasa na sa MTRCB.. =P


Pero kung sakali sana maganda kalabasan ng A & D dahil sa TDVC di ako ganu na2wa sa adoptation.... Ni di ko nga inulit sa sine un... mas maapreciate talaga ang story sa book kumpara sa movie... fave part ko pa naman ung nag-discuss c Langdon about sa "divine proportion" which was not included in the movie.... npka iksi naman kc at di rin maxado nabigyan ng emphasis ung explanation sa Last Supper at sa Mona Lisa... or if I may infer it correctly, meron naman cguro sa original shoot...nakasama lang sa mga cut scenes un ilang mga eksenang un during the review of the movie... tsk tsk... Ganun din cguro d2 sa A & D... naku naman wag na sana nila ipalabas kung ganun lang.... wala na ung spirit ng story (wenks may spirit pa)..... anu kaya mssbi ni Pareng Becky d2 sa balitang 2 hek hek... fanatic ng A & D... idol c Mortati....

~Livin' La Vida Loca~



Npka unpredictable talaga n2 ni Mr. Ronaldo Ragojo har har!!!... na3himik ako nagbbsa ng "The Firm" ni John Grisham (di ko pa nasosoli kay Wheng haha! 10 years na) kagabi ng biglang ngtxt tapos magttanong ng: What is the true value of life?... wadapak hek hek...
nosebleed (yan ang initial reaction ko).... Anu 2 Question and Answer portion sa Miss Universe?...."Survey ko lang yan to anyone... for purposes of boosting my self-esteem"...he added.... owrayt then... I chose not to answer his question at once... characters in SMS won't be enough to expound my views regarding the subject... so i decided to have it answered here instead....

Seriously, I know he's presently in a deep state of mental anguish... eversince naman during our college days puro pressure sa family tapos sasabayan pa ng mga professors namin... financially disable na nga....good thing we both graduated on time....tapos ngayon he is being incarcerated by his bosses taking advantage of his present situation... hahayzz.... e2 basahin mo bro...

WHAT IS THE TRUE VALUE OF LIFE???....

LIFE comes only once.... hindi ito parang pelikula na may part 2... hindi rin ito parang computer na pag na-virus pwedeng i-reformat o i-restore... no second go ika nga... Biologically, out of millions of sperm cells, only one will manage to make it on the egg cell and tadaaa... YOU are born... you have given the opportunity to live in this damn world... see the logic??... just like the million combinations of numbers in lotto... bang! you hit the jackpot....

A sane person won't think he is living without any purpose at all... Each of us is bound to enjoy both the beauty and complexity of this world... God did not create the world to put its inhabitants into misery... Neither He created its inhabitants to nurture His creation on their own... we always have the option which side to go...left or right, up or down, light or darkness... take your pick...

I used to play online RPGs (Role Playing Games) and among them, fave ko ang FlyFF.... all players start with a Level 1 character... initially equipped with cotton suits as armor and a wooden sword as weapon, a player is about to boost up his character until it is capable of wearing heavy armors and powerful weapons... the objective of the game is to level up the character to make it strong... to do so, you have to kill monsters that corresponds your character's level... kung Lvl 1 ka, you have to lure Level 1 up to Level 3 monsters only, to gain experience and you level up... Lure a Level 10 monster and you're a dead meat....as you go along with leveling up your character, you will find weapons, armors, accessories and items that may be useful to your quest... Only one thing is certain... the fate of your character will depend on how you are going to play it... you definitely are in control....

Unlike FlyFF, we are characters who are not in control of somebody.... we have given the free will to live in a way we wanted to... God provided us all what we need... We have given companions either... what remain for us is to gain experience and level up.... problems give us experience.... and we level up...

Tribulations and oddities are given.... these are like spices that make a food tasty and mouth-watering... without which life would be boring... a movie without conflict or tragedy is tiresome... I doubt it if you would bother yourself watching... I mean, cmon' would you rather spend your 1 out of 1 life crying in the corner while the others are having fun out there?... So what if the sky is full of dark clouds when you can play in the rain afterwards??... to make it simple, the true value of life lies on how we want it to be... all the ingredients are there... what we just need to do is to cook the recipe...

After all, isn't it funnny livin' la vida loca (living in a crazy life)??.....

"At times, LIFE never seems to be the way we want it... but we live it the best way we can...there's no perfect life but we can fill it with perfect moments..."

~FaceBook's last POST~

[[[Series of Unfortunate Events]]]]

DATE: 10 June 2008

TIME: 11:45 PM


Yesterday was declared a Holiday to give way the commemoration of the Philippine Independence.... Originally, it is being celebrated in June 12 but the holiday was moved to June 9, Monday, to extend the vacation of the laborers/workers which put them into a 3-day straight vacation.... Worse, I knew I was going 2 enjoy that privilege until Monday.... How come I forgot that the following day would be Tuesday???....

6:30 AM - I woke up and did not anymore perform my usual ritual of "tumunganga at mag muni-muni muna bago maligo" coz I was made aware that 2day's the opening of classes.. Almost 100% of students are expected to go to school 2day... take note- first day of school (excited).... So, kelangan ko kumilos ng mabilis...I didn't want 2 be late 2 my work on the first day of the week so I hurriedly pack myself up and fled...

7:00 - I was on board of an overcrowded jeepney... Badtrip... I didn't have in my pocket P8.00 which is my fare in going 2 City Hall.... I have a P100 bill instead... "kakagising ko lang ha!! yung mga walang barya bumaba muna at magpapalit," the driver reminded.... I didn't move... I couldn't careless if he did not have change 4 my P100 bill... di naman ako magwawantutri.... and besides, if all the passengers have already given their respective fares, he has now a change for me.... I ended up with P92 coins in my pocket.. ampota talagang barya ang sinukli...

7:50 AM - I managed to set foot within the vicinity of Quezon City Hall Complex... I am not late.. I did it... I smiled and took a deep sigh of relief... As I entered into the building going to my office, my jaw dropped in astonishment... DAMMIT' I am wearing a wrong uniform..... That was the time I realized that today is Tuesday... As a remedy, I took off my polo... a white t-shirt and khaki pants wouldn't be that noticeable from a white t-shirt and a blue pants... Nevertheless, my "katangahan" was still noticed by my officemates... ayus lang... dalawa naman kaming T-A-N-G-A ni ate Mayet...

8:30 AM - After taking a 15 minutes breakfast, I went back to my table and about to start with my "to-do-list" for 2day... Ate Vivian requested me to take over Ate Lani of her duty in court 2day as the latter has not arrived yet... Ayus lang sana, but I wasn't prepared.... Bad3p ako... Had not only of the urgency of the request, I could have laid some protests... Leaving me no option, I heeded the request... I sat down in the court hearing which is not supposed to be my turn yet... Ate Lani promised that she will take over my duty tomorrow though to make it even... Still, it wont redeem the damage I sustained for sitting down a trial without making any preparation....

5:00 PM - kababalik lang ng office... Atty. Rene (my boss), Ate Malou and I went to Quezon Avenue to buy plants for the office... I was not able to accomplish my gameplan for today because of these side duties....

7:00 PM - I got home.... The previous events certainly RUINED my mood... I did not bother to relax myself by watching TV... I went directly to my PC because I am going 2 reinstall the Audition Game Client... Mejo may topak din kc 2ng PC ko dahil kahapon pa ayaw bumukas ng AUDITION ko... Thus, I decided to reinstall the game client.... It still didn't work...

8:30 PM - I was chatting with Shaine.... I relayed to her my dillemma.... She suggested to have the re-installation done again because there might be wrong with the previous installation... Been there done that... But to no avail.... Asar na ko.... I really don't know what 2 do with this...

8:50 PM - Because I know I can't play Audition tonight... I just surf on the net... Friendster mode... I browsed on Shaine's page and I saw something that triggered my irate to the worst.... Something 2 do with her "Auditaz Album"... My body turned yellow... and so what???.... tapos magtatanong "galit ka??" Damn...I had got enough today.... You can't blame me......

*this is my last entry in Facebook and I put this here on purpose....

...Friday d' 13th....



Thanks God it's Friday.... the 13th...


it's 45 min past midnight... thanks Goodness I got home safe oblivious of the phenomenon that occurs once in a blue moon... Friday the 13th....This has been considered and in fact one of the generally accepted notions.... an unfounded superstition but somehow worth to take note of... I am not a triskaidekaphobic (one who fears number 13) myself... But I am aware that buildings do not have a 13th floor either.... weird...

Be that as it may, I still feel sooo lucky today.... Ayus na ulet PC ko... may bonus pang mga movies at games weeee.... a high-five to ALVIN for the job well done... Buti na lang naayus kundi panu na lang ang weekend ko???.... Tnx also to Kajo for the assistance.... sa fudgee bar sa RC at sa masarap na sinigang... solb ang dinner...

inasmuch as I want 2 put myself into "adik mode" tonight, ala lobat na... bukas na ko mag aaudition.... one to sawa hek hek....

...iNiTiaL eNtRy...



From Friendster to Facebook and now to a blogspot...

I just learned recently that it is better to keep a blog or journal in a blogspot rather than blogs hosted by some network community e.g. Friendster, Multiply, Facebook, Myspace... Hence, the birth of my blogspot which I named The SeeKeR.....

Why "The SeekeR"??.....

My advocacy to Harry Potter explains everything... For the benefit of muggles (non-potter readers), Harry Potter's favorite game in the wizarding world is Quidditch... and there he plays the position of "seeker" of the Gryffindor Team... Quidditch can be compared to the game of football in real world... only that the players ride in broomsticks and play in mid-air and not in the field... the seeker's duty is to catch the golden snitch and the game is ended... This also awards the seeker's team who catches the snitch an extra 150 points which may lead them to inevitable victory.... Harry was the youngest and the best seeker in Hogwarts during his time....

To serve as linkage to such passion, I deem it fit to use The Seeker along Scarhead as my trademarks.... I even used the same nicks in yahoo messenger, IRC, and as character name in FlyFF and Audition (online RPG)... I wanna be known in the cyberworld by the same codenames....
