Birthday

from the birthday dept

Another year has past in the life of yours truly. Another year, another page in the books. A lot of people take this time to reflect upon the events of the past year; myself, I'd rather not. That last year had come and gone faster than a fart in a fan factory. Regrets are what I remember the most. Another year wasted. Another slip on the slope into hedonism; a backward slide from the pursuit of real happiness.

Article. The Crocodile Hunet, Steve Irwin is dead. He died while doing a feature n stringrays. One of the stingrays's barbs apparently ended up impaling him in the chest, mortally wounding him. I don't really know him aside from the crazy character you see in Discovery channel, but somehow hearing of his death upset me.

Play Mario as Bullet Bill

2006-08-14T02:52:00.000-07:00

from the mario dept

[website] Yep. Play Mario through the eyes of one of the most annoying characters in the game. Now you can play Mario as Bullet Bill, the annoying, constantly smirking, right-to-left flying, cannon fire. But in this game, you play Bill, Bill does not annoy you and Bill flies left-to-right. Bill can run through bricks like it's nothing, but Bill can't go through the, uh,... the structure that Mario steps on. Whatever. Sure it's a waste of time, but it's a must for the true Mario fan. (Hey, I played through one level. I did my time.)

Best Cheap Thrill

from the just-another-best-of-list dept

City Pages, a local tabloid announces that the best cheap in the Twin Cities is... crystal meth! Who would've thunk? Apparently, meth tops it at the "bang for the buck" category. Of course, every concerned citizen, media outfit and every opportunistic politician in town is on a City Pages witch hunt, which, of course, prompted an apology from the tabloid.

Gassing Out

from the petroleum dept

article As the price of oil reached and surpassed $74 per barrel, some cities now have to pay over $4 per gallon. In Minnesota, the price of gas is closing in on $3 per gallon. Gas prices usually, AFAIK, peak at summertime. In the summer of last year, gas prices reached $3 in some parts of the Twin Cities. For this summer, I feel as if it's almost guaranteed. Yesterday, the price was $2.799 at a local pump. I feel like the tiny raise that I got will just go into making up for the jump in the price of gas. My wallet is feeling a little gassed out.

Article: Snow will no doubt make rush hour a big, big hassle. It did. Indeed it was a great hassle, but I prefer the term death trap. After geing dumped with at least 7" snow, the streets were very dangerous to say the least. I didn't go to school because doing so would endanger my life. Or my car, at least. I mean, my car got stuck twice yesterday, first when I parked on the road in front of my parents house and when I tried to park into boo's parking lot. Very dangerous. I was very wet and was in a lot of danger. Danger. Danger. Did I mention driving on snow is dangerous?

Student Loans @$%&0xFF&@!!!

2006-02-23T09:47:00.000-08:00

from the I'm-broke-biatch dept

Article here. Here's some snippets from the article:

For example, a borrower who takes 30 years to pay off a $20,000 loan at 6.8% will pay about $27,000 in interest. That compares with $7,619 on a loan paid off in 10 years.

10 years? 30 years? Geez, that's a long-ass time, either way.

"The Pell Grant isn't even keeping up with inflation, let alone college costs," says Luke Swarthout of the Public Interest Research Group. Students have to borrow more to make up the gap between direct aid and the amount their families can afford to contribute, he says.

Damn US government. Give me your money now!!!

Students from middle-income families, meanwhile, say they're, well, caught in the middle. Their families earn too much to qualify for direct aid — but too little to pay the full tab for college. That leaves them no choice but to borrow.

Just the thought of interest doubling your loan amount makes me wanna puke. I wonder how other students get by, going to school full time, working part-time jobs and somehow make enough money to party, without receiving help from their parents or without resorting to illegal money-making methods (moving bricks, prostitution, etc...). Maybe I should just save my money and go study in Manila. With the amount of money I'm borrowing now, I could have gone to school there atleast ten times over. Life is hard, then you die.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

2006-02-17T10:18:00.000-08:00

from the trifecta dept

The Good

I am glad to report that my iPod had successfully survived two operations and is now in working order. It had undergone a hard drive transplant and a battery transplant. I have also updated the original firmware to a more recent one. The unit appears to be asymptomatic, pending further observation. The unit no longer goes into a power-on-reset loop. The screen no longer display's the folder of death and the unit can go into disk mode easily, signs of a properly functioning hard drive. The battery holds more charge, too, as promised by the manufacturer. It can last well over an eight hour shift. All in all, I've spent around $110 on parts and $0 on labor. If I had sent this guy to Apple, they might have charged me up to $250 without repairing my unit. Read their TOS. Screw you Apple!

The Bad

It's -12°F outside. The windchill is between -20°F to -40°F. The wind is blowing like crazy. It is freakin' cold. Even my car is complaining; the response is sluggish. (Not that the response wasn't sluggish to begin with (I mean, with the tiny Lancer engine (4-cyl 2.0L))) (I like using parentheses. (Can you tell (Really? (Can you say LISP?)))) Anyway, it's freakin' cold.

The Ugly

Mudslide buries hundred of houses in the Philippines. An estimated 1,500 people are missing. The article reports that it has been raining non-stop in the Leyte area for two weeks. It's a mess. Just read the article.

Ate at Ichiban on Valentine's day with boo. Her treat. Good food served with a nice show. The two of you, and eight other patrons, sit around the hot plate and watch the chef do kitchen utensil acrobatics while cooking your food. If you like chefs doing juggling tricks while cooking, this is the place for you. It's *very* expensive though, and they charge gratuity. You've been warned. This is also not the place to get stuffed. If you want to get stuffed, I suggest you go to Khan's instead. I might be going back there someday... after I save some money...

from the yardage dept

What a game. Ugly first half; just plain weird second half. Steelers 21, Seahawks 10.

I was pulling for the Steelers and man they had to pull deep into their bag of tricks to win this one. 1. Roethlisberger evades pressure and completes a pass to Hines Ward to escape a 3rd down and 28 situation. 2. Willie Parker breaks a 75-yard TD run. 3. Flea flickers 4. Reverse pass: Wide receiver/quaterback Randle El's TD pass to Hines Ward. That made up for the forgettable start.

And so it finally ends. My iPod has died... not really. It just needs a hard drive and battery transplant. Anybody with an exra iPod hard drive out there? I tried several times, in vain, to get them at eBay, but some schmuck always outbids me at the last second. I might have to break the bank and go Buy it Now. I've already ordered a battery and it should be coming in the mail pretty soon. The sooner I get a hard drive, the sooner I can begin operating.

Wally World Relocation

from the white-men-can't-jump dept

article [nba.com]

The Timberworlves have traded one of their longest-tenured players, Wally Szcerbiak to bean town Celtics. Included in the trade are Michael Olowankandi and Dwayne Jones. The TWolves get Ricky Davis, Mark Blount and Justin Reed. Now, I haven't seen much NBA recenly, ie none, but from what I heard, Wally's numbers are up this season... which are probably holding KG's numbers down. If I had to pick between Wally and Ricky Davis, I would pick Davis, so it's all good. What makes the most sense is the team unloading Olowakandi. He has been a bust since day one and IMO, he's hurt the team more than helped it. Overall, it's seems like a nice deal for the TWolves. Davis and Blount give them athleticism, and hopefully some much needed defense.

Man! I can't believe Christmas break is over. Now it begins. Pain and suffering. Well, not really. Just a lot of work. I'm taking a math class, data structures class and the dreaded speech class. Math and programming classes here are so and so. They are not really big problems. And at least I have some interest in them. Not so for speech class (and public speaking as a whole). I hate public speaking, although I've done it quite a few times already at church, not voluntarily most of the time and with much hesitancy. I'm the kind of person that gets uneasy whenever I do something for the first time, or take a test, or something of the like. Couple that with a room full of students and the uneasiness can easily turn into nervousness (then nervousness into hyperventilation, and finally hyperventilation into unconciousness. Not really.). Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. As one foremost young poet once wrote, "You don't work, you don't eat. You don't grind, you don't shine." So there.

Just Kong

from the popcorn dept

Just saw Just Friends with boo the other night. Not surprisingly, it was a chick flick. Uh huh. You know what you're watching is a chick flick when estrogen levels are soaring and the viewer chick-to-dude ratio is lopsided in favor of the female/pseudo-female gender. (Now, I have nothing against these type of movies; I just think there's better genres out there to spend money on.) Let's see, there were six people in the theater, 4 chicks, 2 guys, so that makes the chick-to-dude ratio 2:1. So, if chick flicks are not your thing, then you might want to skip this one. Anyway, all the chick-flickiness of the movie only accentuated the cuteness, (ie hotness) of Amy Smart. Still, I bet you anything the other dude in the theater would agree with me when I say that we all should have seen King Kong instead.

from the I-gave-at-the-office dept

[Article] Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Kevin Garnett, in partnership with Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network, is donating $1.2 million to hurricane Katrina relief efforts. KG came on the Oprah show on Thursday morning to announce his interest in helping the relief effort. Now, I did not see KG personally on the Oprah show, but my sources tell me that he will finance the construction of a house once a month for two years. If my calculations are correct, that means that 24 families will have brand new homes after two years. It's nice to see ballers donate a fraction of their earnings in support of relief efforts, instead of buying their wives $4 million rings (cue in Kanye's Goldigger). Now, If I made $21 million a year, I could probably donate more or less the same amount, but I don't. And if anyone wants to know, I gave at the office.

Today is the start of my fall semester.I have worked the night before and I haven't eaten since our lunch break at 3:30 in the morning. I've got to find some food. I'm tired and I'm hungry. I'm wondering that this probably will be the typical day that I will have for four or so months. Great.

I'm taking three classes, a math class, a programming class (DB systems) and a polsci class (international relations). The first two I have no problem with; the last one kinda worries me a little bit. I haven't the slightest clue regarding polsci beyond my knowing that it involves politics somehow nor have I the slightest interest in it. This is the class I substituted for the Java class that got cancelled. Earlier, as we went through our class syllabus, I could not help but notice the fact that we are going to have 13 exams. Huh?!!! Stupid Java class... why can't they open a section with only six people in it? Gosh.

I'm hungry. Give me some of your tots.

from the road-less-travelled-(by me) dept
I don't know what it is really, but there is something about the plains that sort of scares me. I feel a little bit uneasy everytime I drive by the Midwest plains-and how much Minnesota has! Growing up in Manila, a coastal city and one very close to the mountains, I feel a little bit out of place out here in the middle of North America. There's so much land and too little people. Everytime boo and I visit "the sticks" (Brainerd area, her words not mine), the feeling kicks in. The people slowly disappear, the plains take over and the radio fades into white noise... and then country music. Country music. It's a good thing I bring my iPod when we drive up north.

Today's weather forecast provided some mild relief to Twin Cities residents: a high temperature of 84°F. It's not a big change from the 90's temps we've been getting for over a week now, but we'll take it. Gone are the thunderstorms of spring. All that's left is Manila-like weather and hot, dry air. It's the kind of weather that make's you just want to jump into a lake and eat ice cream. The heat has never been more apparent than at boo's house where there is no air conditioning and most windows remain closed. With it's greenhouse-like condition, where even the fans don't work because they only blow hot air around, getting sleep in that house is almost impossible. Now it's 70-ish and it feels good. Maybe I can catch up on somes sleep tonight.

from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept

Summer is finally here. No school, hot weather, barbecue and outdoor sports. It's time to slow down, stop and smell the flowers.

I chose to take a break from school and skip this year's summer session. It's nice for a change. This will be the second year in a row that I have not gone to summer school. It's still a while until I finish and I'm not really in the mood to hurry. I'll probably get back in the fall.

Now this hot weather is driving me crazy. It's so hot, I'm having a hard time sleeping during the day (I work overnights, remember?). It's so hot and humid it reminds me of sticky Manila weather, only more unpredictable. The early summer weather patterns here are so weird. Last night it was storming, but yesterday it was scorching hot. Now it is hot again. Weird weather. It's a good thing we hardly get any tornadoes in the Twin Cities, unlike some parts of the state. I'm hoping the weather normalizes pretty soon so we can get to enjoy the outdoors more.

It's also the perfect weather for doing outdoor stuff. I just got some Nike Frees and I just started to run again. I need to lose some weight I gained during the winter and I am badly in need of excercise. I'm thinking about maybe getting into some other sport just to get more excercise, or maybe not. I'll have to see.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is finally showing today. Hordes of Star Wars nerds have been patiently awaiting this movie forever. It is supposed to fill the holes made by Episodes I & II and bridge the gap between the old-school Star Wars and the new-school, aka better graphics, worse everything else, Star Wars. I hope this one will prove to be more than a very expensive toy commercial. Tons of Star Wars promotional items litter almost every retail store and burger joint, trying to lure the nerds with their Star Wars paraphernalias, all the while trying to hype the movie. It's gonna be a major letdown if it doesn't deliver. Last night the parking lot of the Wynnsong theater was packed as a local radio station ran an advanced screening promo-something. As to why would anyone stay up late for something they can see in the morning, I have no clue. I am not a nerd.

I bought a new book. Object-Oriented Programming in C++ by Robert Lafore. I did not want to buy it. I don't think I need this book. As to why my programming class needs two introductory text books, I have no idea. I have to say that it's a nice intro book: the author goes to some length in explaining the concepts (which makes it quite wordy, which makes it quite boring) and provides little, simple, itty-bitty, example programs. If your C++ is rusty, it can serve as a good refresher. If you're just starting out in C++, don't expect to get very far with this book. Now I have two C++ intro books worth over $100, whose use, I'm afraid, will end two weeks from now. Wastage.

I am very pleased with the test result from my discrete math class. I got more than what I could have realistically hoped for, given the vanishingly small amount of time I had to study for it. I'm very pleased. I was not very confident in my understanding of mathematical induction and element-style proofs but I felt I could get by with a generous amount of "hand waving". The strong mathematical induction part, I don't know how I got it right. This must be some kind of fluke or something.

I am not feeling good. It's 7:18 pm. I have been awake since 2:30 pm yesterday. I had a 2 hour map earlier this morning right after I got off work. I had been working 3rd shift for the past five days, and between church school and other stuff, I had not been getting much sleep. I had slept a total of two hours in the past 29 hours. I had just taken two tests today, a two-hour one at twelve and a one-hour one just in the past hour. I did programming assignments from 2pm to 6pm. I am both physically and mentally spent. It's a good thing boo is picking me up. I don't think I can drive. Lights out in a couple of hours. Finally. Sweet.

Easter

from the holiday dept

Me and boo went up north to have Easter dinner with her parents. We had worked the night before and had to work the next night so our stay was short to say the least. We had to drive three hours each way but we had fun. The scenery was much better this time than the when it was in winter. It felt better to have something to look at other than snow for six hours.

Anyway, we stayed at their place for a few hours to have dinner and to spend time with boo's family and do a bunch of other stuff. The food was the best I've had in a while, being homemade and all; a big step up from the staple fast food diet, yuck. Anyway, after dinner me and boo rode her dad's four wheeler. It was great until I got it stuck in the snow; that could have been bad. It was fun while it lasted but before we knew it, it was time to go. Oh well, maybe next time.

Bowling for Red Lake

from the youth-of-the-nation dept

Red Lake, MN - I'm sure you've heard. It's on national news. No it's not Michael Jackson. It's Minnesota's Columbine. 10 people dead, 12 injured in a shooting incident. The perp was a teenage boy. He killed his grandparents first before going to school and shooting students, teachers and security guards and finally killing himself. He was a loner, wore black and was constantly teased by the people at school. At least that's what FOX is saying. Supposedly, one day he just snapped and decided to kill people. It was disturbing. What's more disturbing is that I don't seem to care. It's tragic; it took me a full nanosecond to get over it. I guess media and pop culture has desensitized my senses to these kind of things. It seems that I am more disturbed by high gas prices than with people being shot.

Spring Break 2005. Nothing really big like going to the beach or taking a vacation. I had been working for the past week. The couple of days I had off, me and boo just hung out together. We went to the Mall of America and checked it out for a few hours. We went to see the aquarium on the basement, Underwater Adventures. I felt like a kid on a field trip, minus the horde of annoying classmates and confused teachers. It's kinda expensive, but fun. On thursday evening we had dinner at Ol' Mexico. I had steak quesedillas and a bunch of other stuff. It was nice while it lasted. It felt great no having to go to school after a night of working. Sigh. I can't wait for summer vacation.

Here I Blog Again

from the time-space-warp dept

Febuary 14, Monday. Valentine's Day. I'm feeling lucky. Me and boo decided to go downtown for a little stroll and some dinner. We had never really planned on what particular place we were going; that was my job supposedly which I put off until the very last nanosecond. But I digress. ( I always wanted to say that. But again, I digress.) So, following our friends's suggestion, we went to the Nicollet Mall area of Downtown Minneapolis. We walked around in the freezing weather for a while before deciding to find a place to eat. Unable to decide, we just went to the nearest one we could find, Chevy's. As to why a mexican restaurant is called Chevy's, I have no clue. It sounds like a name of dealership or something. Anyway, I had fajitas, she had something good that I can't remember. Afterwards, we had to spend like 15 minutes trying to solve the one way puzzles to get out of Minneapolis. After our trip, we had about an hour left before we had to go to work. The fun ends.

February 18, Friday. My luck runs out. I get a ticket. Turning on a no turn on red intersection. It was not see red, biatch! $130 fine. Ouch. I've sent the check a week ago but they haven't cashed it yet. Red tape. It's not even turning up on their system, so I can't pay by phone. Red tape. Luck still low. It's a good thing I could make that much money in five seconds... oh, who am I kidding? *sighs*

February 21, Monday My luck reaches a season low. It was the second day of snow emergency plowing in Minneapolis, which I thought was weird because there was no snow, and they plow the even side of the street. Of course, my car and Sporty (boo's car) were parked on the wrong side. (I knew we should have parked in the yard.) Needless to say, our cars got towed. Fortunately, her roomate's boyfriend was kind enough to give us a ride to the impound lot. We arrive at the impound lot. There is a line that was extending outside of the building into the parking lot. There were at least a hundred people waiting in line for the whole time we were there; the line was getting longer not shorter. Apparently, a lot of people don't get this snow emergency plowing shit. Oh did I mention that there was no snow? We had to pay $133 for towing, $33 for the parking ticket. Freakin awesome.
The media was there to cover this spectacle of public ignorance. I've heard on the news the next day that 800 cars from Minneapolis and 500 cars from St. Paul got towed. If you happened to have tuned in the news that Monday night, you could've seen us on TV. Yes, that was us standing in line, in freezing temps, for two hours, waiting to give our money away. I was so pissed, I couldn't blog for weeks. Freakin awesome.

February 23, Wednesday Randy freakin' Moss get freakin' traded to the Raiders. Whatever happened to "give the ball to Randy Moss, trick"? Who's Culpepper giving the ball to? Nate Burleson? Marcus Robinson? Kelly freakin' Campbell?

Nothing says "Good morning" better than an undriveable driveway covered with at least six inches of snow. Nevermind the grueling, time-consuming, gas-consuming, patience-consuming, life-threatening, 30 mph drive last night. Those were in the highways; ignore them and they will be plowed, almost automagically. Not the driveway. It's my ass out there: my stiff hands, my numb toes, my runny nose... moving snow and ice around... at 7 in the morning... at close to zero temp... after 9 hours of hard work... using my bare hands... and a shovel... and some gloves... and warm clothes.

Went to Pine River, MN yesterday to crash boo's family's gathering. Pine River is close to Brainerd and is at least a two and a half hour drive north of the Twin Cities. I got to meet the parents, Tom and Jerry, and about a hundred of her other relatives (all of whose names escape me at the moment). It wasn't as excruciating an experience as I had thought it would be. The people were very nice and everything went smoothly. Except for the part when they tried to get me to play dodge ball. We worked the night before and I had to drive three hours so I wasn't exactly in gym class mode. I hope they can let this one slide... i.e. not give me crap about it... LOLz(^_^) Anyway, it was a fun experience. I only wish we were under better circumstances, i.e. not having to work the night before and all.

Yeah, it's Christmas again. My second one in Minnesota, my second white Christmas. It's that time of year that we retail workers all know about. The time when people are busy shopping, buying presents, playing santa. Seasonal people get hired in stores to accomodate the sudden boost in sales. It's the time where a lot of people go on a shopping frenzy, getting ready for the holidays, buying presents for everybody, playing santa. It's that time when families and friends get together and do whatever it is that they do. By the way, I got a sweet aquarium set from my boo, which easily is the best present I got, ever.

Obligatory Christmas Preachiness
Being a follower of Christ, I am obliged to share with errrbody, what I believe personally to be the "true meaning" of Christmas. For me, Christmas is a time to remember the "gift" of God to us all which is Christ, who came to "tie together" or rejoin the severed relationship between God and man. If this is not making any sense, perhaps these links might help link 1, link 2.

Another Day, Another Fender Bender

2004-12-20T05:35:00.001-08:00

from the I-love-winter dept

Frozen rain + old car - ABS = fender bender #3. Yup, yup, yup. Yet another bumper crushed by the awesome power of my '90 New Yorker, christened Brownie. I knew something was bound to happen as soon as I merged into 694-W. Frozen rain was slowly covering my windshield and the roads with thin ice which made driving really dangerous. I stopped at a parking lot to scrape off the ice on my windshield; too bad I can't scrape off the ice on the roads. I see several cars along the way, some under a ditch, some involved in a crash. I skidded a couple of times when I was braking, and I knew I had to start to brake really early. So then I drove at a reasonably slow speed along Highway 10 until I reached the County H intersection, with the stoplight acting like a psuedo stop sign. Then it happened. At that instant I realize that this car probably does not have ABS. I hit the brakes a good 100ft away from this Grand Am, and immediately, right on cue, my brakes lock up and the car begins to skid. That was the longest 3 seconds of my life, from the moment I start to skid, till the time I hit the other car's rear. It felt like forever. Anyway, we pull over across the intersection like 10ft away from the light. Five minutes later, another crash takes place, good thing it wasn't headed our way or I would not be writing this right now. That would have been the fourth accident that morning in that one area. I overhear one of the drivers say that it's not worth it to get out that morning; I couldn't agree more. It's a good thing Jesus walks with me; It could have ended worse. Anyway, to cut the story short, the driver and I exchange information and we drive off into the sunrise.
There are several things I've learned this morning:
1) ABS is good for you
2) Frozen rain is bad for you. Scrape it off your window and drive at 15 mph.
3) Early braking means braking a quarter mile before your target stopping position
4) Don't stay near an intersection where an accident just happened; it might happen again
5) I need to memorize my phone number
6) I need to pay for my insurance for the past two months
7) It helps to have Jesus walk with you.
8) Don't drive a snazzy car during winter; drive a beater.

Ugghhh, I wish I was under better circumstances. Btw, the T610 camera phone is a good phone, but it's a POS camera.

The antivirus program we had at the house was a trial version. It expired recently (thank you Dell), hmmm, about 6 months ago. It will not update itself until I give it money. Yeah, like that's gonna happen. Well, as I am using WinXP, it is a given that I need to find a suitable replacement antivirus program. Anyway, since the old program expired, I've been "trying out" several antivirus programs, all of which were pretty expensive, bloated (this computer cannot tolerate bloat. It has marginal memory. Thank you Dell.) and all-around not really my type of software. Fortunately, there's an Opensource antivirus project, clamav. The Win32 port is clamwin. To make the long story short, I got rid of the "trial" AV programs, and jumped into the clamav bandwagon. So far, so good. It's lightweight, it's got a web update function and it integrates with Explorer and Outlook, just what I need from an AV program. Oh and did I say it was free? Stay tuned.

I just recently received an e-mail from my "friend" from West Africa. Apparently, this e-mail originated from my "friend"'s desk. Apparently, he has discovered a huge amount of money and he needs my help moving it around. In exchange for my cooperation, I assume he is willing to share a significant amount of it with me (how does 50-50 sound?). He also asked me to keep the whole deal secret. I really can't help him right now as I'm too busy. I just hope this "friend" of mine gets the help he needs right now, instead of runnning into psuedo-dyslexic scam artists. Oh, and if you get a similar message from my friend, it means your spam filter is not very good.

Dear Friend ,
I am Mr Noha Koffi, Regional Director North Atlantic Securities and Sarl with regional Office here in Lome-Togo. This company is a security and finacial company that handles persons, family, and companies presious metals such as Gold, Precious stones, and diamond, and also, we provide savings and house loan to persons, families and companies.

We had a foreign client Mr Arthur Smith of america who deposited a huge sum of money, eighteen million six hundred thousand united states dollars (US$18.6million) with our Company.

Eventually,this client was among the victims of EGYPT AIR BOEING 767 FLIGHT NO.990 that crashed on the 31th of October 1999 in U.S.A but, since the demise of Mr Smith, we have not had any body coming for the claims as the next of kin.

A sitaution I have monitored closely with my position in the Company. Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the next of kin for the past three years plus, I have removed the file to my private vault.

I now solicit for your assistance to present you as
the next of kin as every other arrangement has being
concluded by me and I am only waiting for a foreigner
to enable me move the fund to his designated foreign
bank account in his country.

This does not have any risk attached to it as all the
internal documentations will be handled by me. I
therefore request you to confirm your interest by a
return message and I will furnish you with details but
do not forget to keep top secret.

Your interest will be negotiable before we commence
the operation.I look forward to hearing from you
immediately you recieves this urgent message.

Regards,

My folks just closed on a new house two days before Thanksgiving we we're just about done moving the stuff from the apartment into the new house. Basically, we had to do all the packing and moving within the past few days, and coming from work and school, it was a very exhausting experience for me. We had a few friends help us move (you know who you are. I really can't put any names in here, so sorry) and so the moving part went really smooth. All we have left in the apartment are some garbage and the computer which I'm on right now. A little more cleanup, and the aprtment should be ready for its next set of victi... err... occupants.

The new place is not so bad. Six rooms, three needs work. I'll be putting up pics as soon as I find the time.

Photos of what, I'd rather not describe (see it for yourself). It's got a bar, if you're interested in that. Service is good. The location is not too bad. Yeah, Maple Grove is not really a stone's throw away but the place is close to the highway so driving out there shouldn't be a problem. Plus it's right in the Maple Grove commercial places so you'll have a lot of options.

Veterans Day

Veterans day. No classes. We should be celebrating/remembering something in this holiday, but I just can't think of what it is.

Who knows? The shadow knows.

Hitting the Target

from the WTF?!?! dept

A man crashes car into a Target store. Why does sort this crap never ever happen to our store? It's always some other store, in some other state. Can't we have a little distraction from our monotonous jobs? Huh? Why? Why!? WHY!?!!

Birthday

from the like-sand-through-the-hourglass dept:

Hey shorty, it's my birthday. We gonna party like it's my birthday. NOT! Let's see, what shall I do today... there's school at 11am, then there's work at 9pm, so I have to sleep during the afternoon from 2pm to 8pm. That leaves me with no time to do anything special. LOL. Anyway, birthdays have never been that special to me. It's just a day to increment the age identifier. I was never really into the celebration thing. I outgrew parties as a child. I think I'll just crash someone else's bday party... and I know just the right person... I usually get sneakers on the bday, maybe I'll do just that. Maybe later.....zZZZzzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzz

Ashlee Lipsynch iPod

from the bad-karma dept:

Poor Ashlee Simpson. She has probably made happy, or entertained at least, more people by her unfortunate performance during last week's SNL. As expected, the Internet crowd has caught up to the Ashlee craze, producing some pretty interesting results, including the Ashlee iPod.

Never Miss A Beat

Like no other, iPod Ashlee Simpson Karaoke Edition stands out. Virgin white, it features the new Apple Fast-Forward Click Button and, on the flip side, complete how to use instructions. Available for just $349, it comes with enough money to use a pay phone for calling your daddy, your agent or both, when you get caught lip syncing live on national television. We have also included some Kleenex for those special times when your entire fan base realizes your nothing but a talentless hack... Rest of arrticle.

Kanye's Workout Plan

from the wtf dept:

For those who don't have cable tv, here's a link to The Workout Plan (broadband) by Kanye West. A stupid video for a stupid song (which i guess how K.West feels about the song's subject.) I still wish he made videos for the more worthwhile songs in his album. IMHO, this is the second worst song in the album, next to the one with Ludicrous on it. Oh well, you still da man K.

Fender Bender

from the @#$%&*@%#^!!! dept

Fender bender. Cub parking lot. My fault. I just came out of work and I'm hungry and I'm tired. @!#$!@#%@&!%#*&!!! This is what I get for having such a long-ass car. This is what I get for shopping at Cub (Damn Target jinxed me). I had to admit I thought about bailing on the person, but that's not right. It's and old-ass car and the "damage" didn't look substantial, but of course I had to go do the "right thing". Yeah, and that's what it's all about: doing the right thing (That and the fact that the security cameras had my every move on tape). Good thing the person was nice enough to show me the ropes of the fender bender business (since this is my first, and the last, fender bender that I will ever have, I'm actually clueless). !@#$%!@#$%^&^%$@%#^&*!!!! Malas naman ng araw na to. #@$&!*%@^&#@%^!!!! bwiset @#$%^!&@%&(!#@!!! leche &$#!$^@%**&#^&!!! Shit happens %@&$$*#*&&@$#$!!! Rubber band effect at full force !&%$&^#*&&@!!!!

Current Mood: !@#$%^&$&#*&!@^%#%^!!!!
