friendster ug multiply
we had a party over the weekend. between me and my friends, there must have been 2 thousand pictures. the nice ones ended up on friendster and multiply. then we look at each other pictures and post our comments on the pic. which got me thinking....
we get together, take pictures of ourselves, post the pictures online then talk about our pictures. ahh, the cheap thrills of social networking.

Sulpicio sues PAGASA for wrong forecast
I saw this one on the news today. Ug naka-ingon ko'g unsaaaaa?
Ever heard of "unpredictable as weather". Because that's what it is. Unpredictable. What about forecast? Forecast means, "To estimate or calculate in advance, especially to predict (weather conditions) by analysis of meteorological data."
It is sad that a lot of people died. But I don't think Pag-asa would have been able to stop it. It is unfortunate that this happened. Everybody knew there was a typhoon. It would have been common sense to not sail.

Okay, so 17 teen-aged girls got pregnant in Gloucester, Massachusetts. All of them are from one school. Man! They have some sexually active kids over there? I'm waiting for news of statutory rape. waiting... waiting....
If I was a parent of one of those kids, I'd be pretty devastated. Bearing children is such a huge responsibility. They could turn out to be really good parents. But really, how ready are you when you're not even old enough to vote?

A billion Chinese can't be wrong: eat rice.
Yup, add about 60-something million Filipinos. The world is just a giant rice bowl.

Kompyuter
Usa ka adlaw akong gitudluan akong mama unsaon paggamit ug Microsoft Excel. Kay maayu man ni gamiton kung magkwinta ug mga grado ug ranking ug uban pang mga buhaton sa Maistra.
"O, sige na nakasabot na ko", ingon akong mama.
Nilakaw na ko. Kini laging gadali ug laag. Moadto mi sa pier uban akong amiga kay pahangin kuno. Pero sa tinuod lang, people-watching diay to. Mao ra baya nang hangina sa pier ug sa tugkaran namo kay duol ra man among balay sa pier. hehehe..
Diha na jud ko sa gate, gitawag na sad ko.
"Balik sa Na kay nakalimot ko unsaon to!"
Gitudluan na sad nako kung unsaon. Kasabot na kuno siya.
Nidagan na jud ko padulong sa gawas. "Day!!! Balik sa, kay nawala tanan nakong gitype!"
..... Sauna ra to. Karon suhito na akong mama magkumpyuter. Akong gihatag niya akong daan nga kumpyuter, maayu nalang moderno pod siya gamay. Bisan kung magtype, mura gihapon gadukduk ug makinilya.

Bugasok Falls
Puslan man nga wa ko'y lingaw karon diri sa akong opisina, maghisgot ko's Bugasok Falls. Mao ni kinanindotan nga falls sa Argao, Cebu. Kahibalo mo ana? Kung wala mo kasuhito, adto dayon mo! Nindota lagi!!!!Dili tugnaw ang tubig, sakto ra jud. Unya kinahanglan pod isog-isog ka'g gamay kay kung di ka gusto mo-ambak, kinahanglan maghinayhinay ka'g kanaog sa kilid. Kita ka ana? Hamis-hamis jud. Kinahanglan ka'g gamay nga spiderman powers aron dili ka ma-mu-mu, madakin-as ug maligid sa bakilid.
Kinahanglan pod kahibalo ka mulangoy o naa kay lifevest. Pero mas lingaw jud nga kahibalo mulangoy. Pagpraktis daan. Sa dagat. Naay gamay diperensya ang paglangoy sa dagat ug sa tubig tab-ang. Pero kung master naka kaya ra kaayu.
Cool ka? Naka-adto na ka sa Bugasok? Adto dayon! Sakay ug Ceres nga bus. Kana-og sa Argao. Sakay ug trisikle, pahatud sa Alex Cafe. Pangitaa si Ritchie. Mao na siya ang guide. Unya go na dayon mo!
Batirul
Nangita ko'g picture ug batirol kay maghisgot unta ko. Wala man! Palitrato unya ko'g batirol o! Unya makaila ra mo pohon.
Gimingaw ko'g sikolati da. Ug puto. Ug kalamay. sa Bohol.

Dugos!
Gitagaan ko'g usa ka botilya nga dugos sa akong amiga nga si Tess. Gikan pa jud to sa Pilipinas. Sus, gamay ra jud akong nakuha kay nibuto man ang botelya sa Tanduay nga gisuldan. Usika lagi! Mas lami raba to kay sa dugos nga Amerikano.
