They Walk Among Us and Vote (from a site)
Just had to share this.
It made my day.
Read these from a website and thought you'd all want to enjoy them as much as I did.
-------------------------------------
I walked into a Burger King with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon
for a sandwich I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little
chalkboard that said 'buy one-get one free'. 'They're already
buy-one-get-one-free', she said, 'so
I guess they're both free'. She handed me my two free
sandwiches, and I walked out the door.
They walk among us and they vote.
===================
One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one
of them shouted, 'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky
and said, ' Where?'
They walk among us and they vote.
====================
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One
day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call
center was open
I told him, 'The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.'
He responded, 'Is that Eastern or Pacific time?' Wanting to end
the call quickly, I said, 'Uh, Pacific.'
They walk among us and they vote.
====================
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut
through a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
They walk among us and they vote.
====================
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I
went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my
bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained
professional and I was in good hands. 'Now ,' she asked me,
'has your plane arrived yet?'
They walk among us and they vote.
====================
While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a
small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked
him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6.
He thought about it for some time before responding.
'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to
eat 6 pieces.'
They walk among us and they vote.

No Guts, No Glory: Crap, I had to have read it...
Statistically speaking, unless you are a total hermit, a social retard, or ugly as a putrid bum, there is at least one person in your multiply network that has a crush on, wants to date you, wants to sleep with you or simply just wants to kiss you. So... let's play "No Guts, No Glory!"
The rules are simple.
1. If you want to date the person who posted this, send a Personal Message, not a reply to this post, saying "Coffee?"
2. If you have a crush on the person who posted this, send a Personal Message saying"You're hot!"
3. If you just want to sleep with them & stay friends, send them a message that says "Nice shoes!"
4. If you simply just want to kiss the person who posted this, send a Personal Message saying, "I do!"
SCARED?
The only rule is that, you must not make anyone who sends you a personal message feel stupid for feeling that way about you. Acknowledge. Say thank you. Move on.
IF YOU'VE READ THIS, YOU HAVE TO REPOST THIS, EVEN IF YOU'RE TAKEN & see who replies.
SO... re-post this as "No Guts, No Glory", as it doesn't matter if you're married, in a relationship, or single.

The Happening
| Rating: | ★★ |
| Category: | Movies |
| Genre: | Horror |
I have always been a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan.
While many others consider Sixth Sense to be his only good work, I've always staunchly defended his other films such as Unbreakable, The Village, Signs and The Lady in the Water.
But the Happening.
Sadly, it just ain't happening.
While the plot has good ideas and nice touches, the overall approach to the narrative just falls flat in achieving a good thriller feel. M. Night Shyamalan's magic exists at the start with wonderfully composed shots, nice buildup to suspense and intriguing presentation of characters. But then, he falters, as if suddenly crumbling under his own weight, as the movie stars to stagger in its attempts to scare, starts to cause people to laugh in its attempts to emulate Asian horror moments when the talent is speechless and acts via his/her eyes alone.
The score, surprisingly, seemed ill-fitting for the movie, which really is hard to believe since it was done by James Newton Howard - who also did Sixth Sense, Batman Begins and other well scored films.
It was hard to accept many of the lines as well. After everything that has been going on, with the wife and the kid heading to the shed outside the house even AFTER they've discussed it might be the plants doing the killing, he cries out to her to shut the doors and windows and she asks,
"What's Happening!?!??!"
Uh, yeah. Sure. Were you told to portray your character that dumb?
So sorry, M. Night. I love your work and your creative vision but this is one movie that is getting a really low grade from me from your filmography.
Kasi, hire me na lang next time.

UEN got flooded
The typhoon Frank has caused a lot of accidents, damage and deaths in its wake. My prayers go out to all who have lost someone or lost property from the passage of this force of nature.UEN thankfully did not suffer the fate that this other red car had suffered in the picture. What UEN did suffer was around five inches deep of water inside the right side of the car. There has been this tiny tiny leak somewhere near the right passenger side mirror which usually allows a tiny trickle of water in when it rains. With the constant strong downpour that has been coming down since Friday, however, UEN became a receptacle for rainwater without me noticing before it was too late.
As I drove to Church this Sunday evening, I noticed sloshing sounds whenever I shifted gears. I kept glancing outside at the street level, wondering why I could hear the sounds typical of a flooded street and yet not see any water (Tahanan Village, thankfully, is a hilly subdivision). That's when I hit a hump and heard the distinct splash of water beside me.
Just spend around half an hour draining it and padding it as dry as I could.
But the rain hasn't stopped and there's no nearby roofed parking area in sight.
So something tells me I'm going to have to drain UEN again later in the morning. Oh well, at least everyone in the family is safe.
Take care, everyone!

Some Reasons to be Happy: Sharing the joy
Firefox 3.0
Soooooooper neat! And most of all, I love the PicLens plugin which really really makes me smile. Check it out and try looking at your Friendster photos or try using Google Images.
Hay. Got me smiling like a giddy six-year-old in a candy shop.
http://www.eagleeyemovie.com/
It is like The Matrix meets Sidereals in a modern world.
Don't quite get what I mean? Well, just watch the trailer and see a great looking upcoming film.
Changeling: The Lost
http://www.white-wolf.com/changeling/index.php
It has been out for quite some time, but its only lately I've been able to get some chance to read the books. Incredible. Amazing. Definitely stands now as one of the BEST books ever released by White Wolf Gaming Studios ever since they began the New World of Darkness line. This game really stabs into the genre and finds new fresh blood (unlike Vampire or Werewolf or Mage). The only game that got this close to being so cool was Promethean and Old World of Darkness' Orpheus line.

The Incredible Hulk
| Rating: | ★★ |
| Category: | Movies |
| Genre: | Action & Adventure |
Why? Because I didn't like it.
I actually like the Ang Lee versions more.
This Hulk, while having much more interesting action scenes tremendously lacked, for me, in the heart department of what makes Hulk more than just a Frankenstein story with green skin. Yes, we get the wonderful destructiveness of the Hulk... in a single street block. Oh and a university park.
For some reason too, the massive bulk of both the Hulk and the Abomination are barely that massive enough that the Hulk does not sink in the muddy waters he walks on. Nor do they both combined really cause a helicopter to drop. And yes, for some reason, the Hulk has a fondness to actually using tools. Let's ignore the fact he beautifully did the Hulk Smash move and focus on the fact he's seemingly obsessed with using cars as shield/weapons.
Wtf?
The military was pathetically incapable of handling things. After knowing what the Hulk can do, why waste time with all those bullets and men charging for no real good reason. Mas may tactics pa yung mga bata sa Battle Royale.
Liv Tyler, with her collagen-enriched lips, looks horrible. I am sorry. She really just looks horrible. She almost looks like a drag queen in some shots. Her outburst to drag her father out of a vehicle in one scene was laughable. And her finding the guy who has been eluding the military for years by just driving down the road while its raining was just utterly unimaginative. Why'd he hide then if he'd just do that? Or was he NOT expecting her to see him?
So this new Hulk has some kind of Spawn fetish, with his penchant for loving shadows and using chains, but boy, near the end he get's envious of Spider-man and starts moving through the city like a tarzan sans ropes.
Again, his bulk can be carried by those things?
Really.
Ah, bring me back Ang Lee's version.
Just someone teach Ang Lee how to focus more on action scenes than father - son dramatic moments. And while Ang Lee had those stupid dog monsters in his movie, at least dealing with them was resolved. Here, what the hell happens to the Abomination? The suggested scene was Hulk spared him rather than cut his head off. But what, did the General get punished for his association in all this? Doesn't look like it considering in the end, Tony Stark still refers to him as a man of power. So what the hell happened then? Was there any point for the movie to happen or did nothing change at all?
Ano yan? Parang bagyo sa Pilipinas?
"Ay nagkahulk nung isang linggo. Ang dami nga namatay eh. At baka daw magka Superhulk sa susunod na linggo. Anyway, anong palabas sa sine ngayon?"
I hated it.
Really.
Sorry.
RANTS: Just need to get some things off my chest
HONESTLY, I AM A PATIENT GUY. Being a Taurean, I've been known to have my temper streaks in the past and I really have learned to curb things since my college years.But sometimes, I just can't help but find myself really frustrated at times when certain things really really REALLY rub me the wrong way. Today is a day I really feel the need to let some of these angst doggies out and get one major source of frustration out.
Don't Ask Me Unless You Want To Hear My Answer
When someone asks me a question, I expect its because they want to hear my views and even more specifically in some cases, my decision on a question being raised. But when my answer is far too quickly ignored or too immediately thrown aside in favor of "other suggestions" then it really makes me wonder why a question was asked in the first place.
So really, if someone asks me, "What do you want to get?"
And I choose.
Don't throw it back at me and say, "Wouldn't you rather want _________ instead?"
Cause if I did, I would have said so.
Okay? Got it? Yun lang talaga. I just really need to let out.
Ubos na pasensya ko for today.

Happy 28 months love!
Still going against all odds to make this work.
Still finding ways to survive the distance.
Still thankful to have found you, despite the circumstances that have changed the way things were.
28 months and counting, love.
I love you, my Panda Bear!

This is revenge
I hate absolute strangers who text you with stupid loan offers who don't admit where they stole your number. So this is my revenge on one of them:
Yvon texted me with such an offer.
09178676121
Feel free to spam her with whatever you want.
Her Superlite Loan offer supposedly can be reached at 9868740.
If you know whom I should properly report this to, please to tell me.
I hope such people find their cellphones exploding some day.
While they are using it.
Then die.

Feeling Neanderthalistic
Overslept and woke up with a horrible hunger pang, too many missed called messages, unanswered texts and the need to do work.
One of them bleaugh days I guess.
Here's hoping the rest of the week gets better.

For those wondering, it sounds like the first track of the Titus OST (Procession and Obsequis) as well as the high epic music from the movie 300.

Another Question to boggle you!
From the Talecraft list:
Be creative! I asked people in Mangaholix but most answers were: I wouldn't live by them, the world would end by then, natural disaster that would kill everyone. We're Talecrafters. We should be creative!
Posed with this challenge, I decided to think of an answer.
And ended up with a story.
Hope you enjoy reading it!
----------------------------------------------
Who would have thought we would one day live in this perfect world we live in?
We are all numbers. I am 14-28-30. My wife, 00-11-32-44 once was dating someone from the primes, and to be honest, I found that tremendously intimidating. Some used to believe the primes were the ones behind the Protocol. Some say they are the only ones who were still around from the time when people still used names.
I always found it strange, how things were supposed to be back then.
Records say it was a time when people still used both letters, symbols and numbers to name themselves.
For some reason, even with a larger number of symbols to combine and use and create names, supposedly there were still too many people named John, Sam, Tom and Cutie. It boggles the mind. Now, ever since the Protocol, we live the orderly life of knowing our names are unique. Just as I am the only one who is 14-28-30, there is only one 99-22-10-44. There is only one 22-48. And there is only one 40-00-00-00-00.
Some people believe some people are more unique than others.
There are those who think 88-88-88-88 is extremely lucky. He did survive four transplanetary highway accidents already. He was even the sole survivor of a teleportation mishap when he decided to revisit Restored Great Wall of ChinoMongo.
Then there's 16-80-00 who owns the most popular chain of extronet cafes off-world. There are as many as 168,000 members online at one given time playing his MMORPG every hour.
There's 4,000,000,000 who nobody dates. For some reason everyone thinks she's too old.
They say 6-66, the mnemoprophet who spamessages his preachings to those who forget to activate their junk dream guards before going to bed, will someday lead us to the end of the world.
And there are the primes.
Everyone knows the primes. Because they have always been the most popular, most successful, most attractive and most envied in any place at any given time. Some say that's just how the world works; some people are really just better than others.
Some say, it is all because of one of them.
It is all because of 23.
I used to wonder what happens when someone dies. When I die. But one of the primes found me and spoke with me and told me that everything has been prepared. "It is all in the numbers, 14-28-30. As you know, the Protocol ensures us that no coupling can produce a child less somewhere out there, someone else passes away. Upon the termination of someone's natural life, the chonologically closest coupling then successfully fertilizes and accomplishes conception. That child automatically becomes self-aware of his number by his first birthday."
"But how," I remember asking him, "How does the Protocol work?"
The prime merely smiled knowingly and patted me on the back.
* * *
Fireworks.
The world is in celebration.
A new child was born today.
All over the world, in the many cities across the planets linked by the transplanetary highways, there are balloons, lights, music and parties. The world celebrates the birth of 40-00-00-00-01.
Save for me.
In my house.
00-11-32-44 passed away in her sleep last night. I never even noticed it until I woke up to what I thought was the sound of rain and music then felt how cold her body was pressed against mine . It took me five seconds to realize the celebration that was underway.
And the rest of the day to accept the fact that I alone am mourning a death.
The world is perfect.
Tomorrow, I'll make sure it will be doubly so.
Tomorrow, for the first time ever, the world will celebrate two days in succession.
My name is 14-28-30.
This is my last extronet blog entry.

2059: Thepopulation of the Earth is 4 Billion people world Wide.
Today (2008), the population of the earth is about 6.5 Billion. In 2020, you are the leading scientist in (whatever feild you choose) and the UN has asked you to make a plan that would make sure population growth would be stiffled and earth will only support 4 B people in the next 100 years. You have 1.5 to 2 generations to implement.
What's you plan? How will you control population growth?

LOST Season 4 ender
FINALLY GOT TO SEE THE SEASON 4 FINALE FOR LOST.I I shall try my best not to put spoilers in this.
Even if I know deep down I will still end up saying a few things about the two-hour episode that is sure to get Lost fans screaming at me for posting it.
Of course, some sites like this one are stupid and insensitive enough to actually post spoilers as the HEADING of the post.
What can I say?
First of all, this is definitely an episode that answers a LOT of questions, teases even more on the big questions, finally resolves a few other questions and as expected, draws open the doors to even more questions.
Among the topics that fall under one of the four above, we got:
Why? What did he whisper? Where did he go? Why wasn't he there? How did he die? Did they really move it? Why he was wearing that? Will they ever meet again? Who is the one in the coffin? Why did they lie? Who are the new love teams to expect in Season five?
As expected, naysayers will still hate the finale, and are sure to make a fuss over Lost still not answering "Exactly what the island is" when I personally believe so much allusion as to what it most likely is already answers a lot. I always loved shows that had a slow burn to them. I always loved Millenium over X-files, for example. Or games like WoD where mysteries over layers of mysteries exist, rather than games like Dungeons and Dragons where its quick bang for the buck.
Sun, Kate, Sawyer, John, Hurley, Rose, Desmond, and Jack get good screen time, but nothing compared to Ben who really steals the show with his key lines. Niles, Lewis and weird scientist guy seem to be on the road to becoming larger characters in the next season, based on how their short yet "dum dum dum!" dialogue flowed.
While the first season made us wonder, "What is in the hatch?"
And the second season made us wonder, "What the hell are they doing to this show?"
The third season definitely twisted the expectations around and made us go, "Whaaaat? They can do that toooooooo in this show?!??! OMG!"
This fourth season had its bumps with some episodes obviously written because the actor felt he needed to become more special, while other episodes were absolutely top-notch.
This does, however mean, its going to be a looooooooooong wait til the show continues again.
Thankfully, I got Pushing Daisies, the Office, Battlestar Galactica and Big Bang Theory to keep me occupied.
And yes, its nice to have seen Smokey again.
It was hilarious to see how they still got to get Sawyer to do his thang for the girls who like him.
It was delicious to see Sun show some teeth at last.
And it was terrifying to see Juliet seemingly hitting on "that" guy.
Favorite lines:
"I am not celebrating."
"Leader stuff... I guess..."
Things that might slip you by:
Noticed the reverse audio in one scene?
How about the answer to where them Polar bears came from?
Loved the "misdirection" at one point.
The return of the orientation films!
The answer to Sun's "I blame two people..."
And best of all:
Michael is dead.
Sorry, that's spoilerific. But yes. I really really REALLY really hate him.
Stupid character anyhow. And the actor is too big-headed for the show too.
Finally.
Stay dead, please?
Don't even haunt the rest of the cast please?
