anti-stress online canvass

I found this very nice website that brings out the artist in me (naks). Visit http://bomomo.com/, kudos to Philipp and Nikolai!

Here's my first outburst of accidental creativity:



Then a more studied approach:



Cool, huh? Try it.

Greedy Sony

I was surprised and amused after discovering that Sony (the manufacturer of my Vaio laptop) have disabled the audio signal recording TO PREVENT PIRACY, based on one Sony laptop reviewer. If this really is the reason, I would say that this is a very lame anti-piracy effort for the giant company. Parang sinabi nila na hackers and music pirates ang buyers ng Sony laptop. I don't know if other companies have also disabled this standard audio feature in their machines, but I'm pretty sure it won't help at all in protecting Sony Music artists from piracy. My old Thinkpad could have scored a lucky punch if such weakness was dicovered earlier. Don't know what I'm saying? Read here.

File permission error! T_T

I'm back and seeking for vengeance. I can't help but to spatter in this blog my frustration while using MS Word 2007. I lost my two oh-so important documents in a span of three days and it really got into my nerves. Tried cheking the Web for possible solutions or even simple, straightforward explanation but went in vain and even encountered similar grievances among fellow Word 2K7 users. How pathetic.

Later today I'll send my boss an email requesting for a four-day work week. If granted, mahal and I will be saving more than 500 pesos every Wednesday. A 10-hour work day (in lieu of this request) isn't bad at all, since we always arrive in the office as early as 7am and leave at 6pm.

Waiting for E-Six

Mali ako, dapat kumain ako nang mas maaga para nakarating sa SSS at least before 7am. Ang nangyari, 7:30 na ako nakapagbigay ng form na ang katumbas ay apat na oras na paghihintay. Apat na oras na nakatayo ay 'di biro. Hindi ka naman makapagreklamo dahil ganito na talaga kakupad ang proseso. Parang bumabalik ka sa medieval ages.

Nakakatuwa at naging magka-kapit bahay pa kami ng aking dating highschool mate na si Christy. Kung di ako nagkakamali, first hanggang fourth year ay magkaklase kami. She has her own family na rin... grabe, tanda na talaga namin.

Tidbits

* Absent ang mahal ko ngayong Lunes courtesy of Kancura herbal tea.

* Panalo ulit ang Ginebra kagabi, yey!

* Parang patamad nang patamad na ang mga tao ngayon. Kaninang 6:30am, pagsakay ko ng FX mula megamall papuntang tektite, napansin ko yung dalawa pang pasahero na wala pang 200 meters ang tinakbo ng biyahe nila eh, bumaba na. Hindi sa pakialamero ako, pero kung nilakad na lang nila yun, bukod sa nakatipid ng 12 pesos, nakapagsunog pa ng calories. Pero sige, baka naman di nila kailangang magtipid, o kaya naman masakit ang mga paa nila.
