Reklamo

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Magrereklamo lang ako..
bakit pa kailangan ng bagong taxes? hindi pa ba sapat un dati? kc kung maayos lng ang pag kolekta, okie na naman ung current taxes.
Kung magdadagdag naman ng bago, bakit pinapayagan nila ang mga kumpanya na ipasa sa mga consumers?bakit tinangal ung no pass on provision?may tinamaan atang backer ang mga pulitiko natin eh, or ung mga companies nila ang tinamaan. kung gusto nila na makisama sa mga masa, dapat ishoulder nila ung taxes.
Bakit ba nagaartista pa si mikey aroyo?nakakainis na ah..akala mo kung sinong magaling umarte. kainis talaga..
bakit ba bumalik ung mag-amang aroyo sa pilipinas ngayong tapos na ang impeachment complaint kay gma?
bakit ayaw ni gma ng snap election and yes to a coalition gov’t whose members include 60% administration people, religious leaders and the rest are oposition?
bakit ba sensationalized and nude pics ni chx alcala?ganun na ba kababa ang standards ng pinoy na kahit sino nakahubad eh bibigyan ng issue?
bakit po ng po si JB ngayong nasalabas na siya ng PBB house pro nung asa loob pa eh napaka sama ng ubali?
Ang GMA-7 ay gumawa na din ng sister station na QTV-11. pantapat sa studio 23 ng ABS-CBN. Magyayabang na naman sila..
Bakit ba ang mga jeep, pinagsisiksikan ang mga pasahero. ‘waluhan yan o, 1 sa pa sa kanan’
Bakit ang FX/Shuttle, mahal na nga ang bayad, tapos nakalagay pa sa body ng sasakyan nila na ‘pssenger capacity: 12′ eh ginagawa pa ding 18 passengers?
lastly,
Wala na akong nakikitang pag-asa sa pinas..gus2 ko na umalis.4 years ago medyo meron pa akong hope na kaya pa natin ibangon ang pinas. pero ngayon, wala na talaga.leaders pa lang bulok na, tapos may squaters pa na akala mo kinakawawa sila ng mas nakakaangat sa kanila, pero sila din naman ang isa sa major factors kung bakit pababa ng pababa ang pagtingin sa pinas.

electronics

Monday, October 24th, 2005

After 1 year and 4 months, nakahawak na naman ako ng electronic parts. Iba pa rin talaga ang feeling ng gumagawa ng hardware kaysa software..mas exciting pa din. Salamat kay Goks at nakagawa na naman kme ng isang electronic device.
The Device that i am talking about is the game show buzzer. an electronic device that lets us know who rang the buzzer first. you might wonder how the tv game shows ever know who buzzed first. The answer was this electronic device..its fairly simple and there are alot ot schematic diagrams that provide the same lock out mechanism. what we used is the combination of an AND gate and a D-Flip flop. to all non-CE out there, AND gates allows an output of logic high(1) if the inputs are all logic high. a presence of a logic low (0) makes the output 0. a d flip flop is a flip flop whose output is the data input which follows a clock input.
I went to Cariedo yesterday to buy the parts for the circuit. it took me back to the days of our thesis, going to cariedo, the nooks and cranies of that place often times yield the parts you need.although there where only 2 places to look for when buying parts, ALEXAN and DEECO, the side streets can offer you some parts that you might nead like big capasitors/fans etc. for the project, i olny need to go to ALEXAN. but i forgot that ALEXAN was closed during sunday so i had to search for other places to find the prts i need. I ended up in one shop that was along side isetan. The parts where expensive. i mean a chip was sold to me at P25 a piece. beacause of Goks mishap with his stash of electronic surplus from our college days, i had to buy everything..board, soldering iron, wires..resistors..man, the device was worth 700 for the parts alone. While i was in Cariedo, i took the time to look around, for sound systems, posible gifts this xmas, trophies, electronic devices, phones and clothes. A man even called me out offer to sell porn..(remember ‘boss, porn/bold cd/dvd’). I havent got any pics coz as you all know, that place is teeming with snatchers/holdupers( i know the mayors have cleaned up the place but still, the place still have some ) i didnt risk my phone being stolen and sold at a nearby stall.
After the trip, i went to Goks place. He agreed to help me with the circuit. Schematics were simple, and the project was doable in 5 hrs tops. but again we were wrong. making the device work on a breadboard was a case of trial and error, with the errors being to many to count. Our electronics basics where there, but the lack of hands on for 1 year made us sloppy, even asking what the hell is a d flip flop again.
A few hours later, the breadboard was working. we then transfered that to the PCB with goks taking over the soldering. Again mistakes were there, as we forgot to connect the pin 6 and 8 of the flipflops to ground and forgot how to read the LED.
We finished at around 11pm, but felt good abut ourselves. We still have it, the hardware skill of a CE student hehehe…

The 40 Yr Old Virgin…HAHAHA!!!

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

Yesterday we watched the 40 year old virgin. And i swear, tears were comming out of my eye cause i was laughing so hard. The movie was hilarious, i mean, really funny. Although the script was simple, the performance of steve carell really made an impact. He made the decision of having his chest hairs waxed on film. that scene was not “edited” that was his really hairy chest being waxed..even the nipple was not excused from the torture. Blood was oozing from the patches of waxed skin. and was really noticable in one close-up shot.


here’s a link to the funny quotes from the film

how do i know your gay…
Cal: [David and Cal Playing a video Game] You’re *gay* now?
David: No, I’m not gay I’m just celibate.
Cal: I think? I mean, that sounds ga- I just want you to know this is like the first conversation of like three conversations that leads to you being gay. Like… there’s this and then in a year it’s like, “Oh you know, I kinda wanna, ya know, get back out there but I think I like guys” and then there’s the big, “Oh I’m I’m a g-gay guy now”.
David: You’re gay for saying that.
Cal: I’m gay for saying that?
David: You know how I know you’re gay?
Cal: How? How do you know I’m gay?
David: Because you macramed yourself a pair of jean shorts.
Cal: You know how I know *you’re* gay? You just told me you’re not sleeping with women any more.
David: You know how I know that you’re gay?
Cal: How? Cuz you’re gay? and you can tell who other gay people are.
David: You know how I know you’re gay?
Cal: How?
David: You like Coldplay.
David: You know how I know that you’re gay?
Cal: How?
David: You like the movie “Maid in Manhattan”.
Cal: You know how I know *you’re* gay?
David: How?
Cal: I saw you make a spinach dip in a loaf of sour dough bread once.
David: You know how I know that you’re gay?
Cal: How?
David: You have a rainbow bumpersticker on your car that says “I love it when *balls* are in my face”.
Cal: That’s *gay*?

ill definetly watch the movie again..just so that i can see that blank look at his face while he was speed dating

Oh Brother..

Saturday, October 1st, 2005

My youngest brother told me this morning that he was a victim of a hold-up yesterday. the M.O. was that the men pretended to be SK officials and told my brother they would help him cause there was a commotion in the place. my brother, being a timid giant that he is, followed the men without noticing that there was no commotion. the men took his bag which had his wallet, cellfone(ngage) some clothes and my digicam. good thing he was not hurt. This is a perfect example of how a small decision can affect you big time. He just got back from his H.S. retreat and things wouldn’t end this way had he just chose to go directly home.
Yesterday, me and my friends watched the film Dubai. the movie was good, two bothers having a dream went to dubai as a stepping stone for that dream late both falls for the same girl. The movie was full of heart warming sequences about brotherly love and the things that people would do for love and their dreams.
