Topping-up the everydaily life....

Whoah....! There's been some huge changes a week after the easter holidays, things back to where they were before.... There's a draw back to this, you'll get used to time off and you won't feel like going back to the old routine anymore ha-ha....!


I'm also back to my old and ever rolling, topsy-turvying routines that i'm not sure when it is going to offer me a chance to even for just once stop, sit back, relax and enjoy a bucket-full of coffee.... Somehow, everythings been in a bearable density and quantity that in a way i seem to just naturally forget about its flow and ignore all the twist, turns, and all the demands in my everyday life ha-ha....!



And i'm also proud to say that blogging has been a good addition and had played a big factor in calming me down.... I'm not saying that i was out of control and was lashing out at life's constant struggles.... What i meant was blogging have had placed itself in a tension point of my everydaily life and in someways had untightened the knots that was squeezing the line and creating all those tensions, mental strains etc.... I absolutely salutes blogging, whoever invented this.... You're a genius man....!


Today is BANANA DAY because i've decided that i will only eat bananas today and nothing else.... And i mean nothing....! It's good to break the ribbon of cholesterol in your system once in a while by munching in a truck-load of fibers....



Sa araw na to hindi ako kakain ng hamon, lechon, kare-kare, kaldereta, asado, pata....etc, etc, dahil wala naman ako nun he-he....! Saging lang meron.... Di kaya ako tubuan ng buntot nito ha-ha....! You are what you eat daw kasi.... Health issue reasons lang pala....

Exempted ang kape dahil sinabi ko, may angal....!

This morning kasi when i woked up, i opened my eyes (of couse you have to) and look around without moving a limb and i thought to my self what day is it today....? buong akala ko kasi ay weekdays pa ngayon and looking at the time at the clock on the wall ay napaka-late mong bata ka pepe....!



Kaya tuloy for the second time dahil nagyari din to noon, ay sinabayan ko ng balikwas na nagpa-super pump sa circulatory system ko sabay unahan at over speeding ng dugo sa ulo ko....! Akh! Pumutok yata mga brain cells ko dun at hanggang ngayon ay mahiluhilo pa rin ako....! Call 911....! 911....! Hay buhay....!



Small details, masyado yata akong nalunod sa pagbu-blog hop at nakalimutan ko nang maglagay ng mga bagong entries dito at oo nga pala, may nakita na akong bagong mp3 player at nailagay ko na rin dyan sa may right hand side.... Wag lang kayong magtaka kung bakit puro obsolete ang laman ng playlist ko dahil 80's & 90's lover ako kaya puro from 1980's to 1990's lang ang mabi-build up na playlist dyan....


Ang hindi ko lang alam ay kung kelan ko ito mapupuno ng mga kanta kasi medyo mabagalbagal ang uploading nya at lagi pa akong busy, pero okay lang ha-ha....! I'm in no rush....!



You should try those music sometimes, don't you know how fantastic those are and they make sense too unlike all the market of newbies nowadays.... I don't wanna say some comments to offend it.... All i can say is, i'll stick to my Favzies na lang he-he....!



Overall, everything is slowly taking place as always and it's been great having a break like the easter once in a while coz it has really been too tough the weeks before that's why i thought we had a nice reset there.... Today i was planning to have a movie marathon but ironically they are showing a load of movies on the telly so i change my plans he-he....! WHOAH....! Nuff said pepe....! Gotta go....! BBQ all....!

Sydney Royal Easter Show ' 07....

The Sydney Royal Easter Show for this year opened last friday.... I don't have a track of it anymore aside from radios and tv ads because of a strange reason that i eventually just got sick of it or maybe i've simply just out-grown the the power of expectations towards it....

I don't even had a clue where they've held it this year....! Might be in the same place as last year's, Homebush Bay.... Don't get me wrong, it is quite fantastic....! There's a lot of rides, food (specially), pet shows, dogs, cats, chickens, fruits, garden designs, food again he-he, flowers, bonsais, horses, agricultural animals contests....etc, really fantastic specially the food....!

This year's one is rather not so perfect because the forecast says that it's going to rain for the rest of the holy weekend so a not so ideal climate talaga for an outdoor activity like this....

Pati nga mga Pepe-razzis ko ay wala ring ganang i-cover man lang ang event dahil may pagkalahing kambing yata ang mga lokong to....! Anyways, okay lang naman ang araw ko ngayon kahit na nasa harap ng tv at pc lang buong maghapon.... At least i was able to notice some of the un-noticiable details na hindi ko na-notice noon na dapat ko palang ma-notice at ka-notice notice nang talaga.... Ang gulo mo peng....!

Anyways again kahit puro anyways na ako rito ay wala lang, gusto ko lang naman na mai-share sa inyong lahat na mga my plens ko in blogosphere kung ano-ano ang mga sites (anong sounds pa? may narinig ka bang sounds dyan?! wala?! e di wala!) na mai-expect nyo from this kind of event that we have here in sydney....

I personally love to see the Flying Piglets perform ha-ha....!

Click nyo na lang ang mga picture to enlarge them.... There's some more in the web if you're still not satisfied, go and have a look for some more.... They're great shot....! O kayo na lang bahala dyan okay....? Exit na muna si ako at magbu-bloghopping pa....!

A minute for you know who....!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE....!
For me this one's a must post entry.... I know that everyone is busy right now with their family, religious, spiritual, Panatas, or school holiday's activities.... Like everyone else, i have my own choices of spending my easter break too.... But whoever you are, whatever you are, whichever religions and divisions of christianity you're in, or whatever religious / non-religious beliefs you have, let us all at this very moment, as a world for just a brief while become one and stop whatever it is that we're doing and offer "you know who" a moment of silent prayers and remember how blessed and greatful we are for what he have done for us and for the whole world.... By doing so, you'll do yourself a great favor by turning this year's easter break into a more special and worthwhile remembering one.... Happy easter all....! Have fun....! Can't hardy wait to hear from all of yous and what yous did during your easter break....!

My idea of a Blogosphere....

Define Blogosphere - A collective blog community. A center of electronically generated kalokohan, pag-ibig, family, barkadahan, bahaybahayan, bangayan, reliheyon, astigan, yabangan, lampungan, palaisipan, puyatan, sisihan, tsismisan, pikunan, pityuran, kapraningan....etc, etc, etc

Some say it's like a spider-web that goes around and around with it's fine thread, but structurewise it has a strong frameworks that bonds each wiggly-wobbly strand of threads together to withstand the ever changing test of time.... Just like the way a web-community bonds together....

Some even thought that it's like a network of railroads running the neverending winding tracks, zigzaging, criss-crossing, and connecting people to every stations they wish to be without any tangles, delays, or traffics....






However, technical minded brainiacs / gizmonatics / web-addicts / cyberchopathics....etc, associates these whole ideas with the blockbuster head slammer movie Matrix.... In which our world is hanging unfirmly between realities and illusions.... They described it as a world of bright neon lights, digits, binaries, codes or a neverending fast-fall in a bright tweed and tangle pipelines.... Or speeding-up towards uncertainties.... Just like the movie Matrix itself....



So far, i've never encountered such questions as : How does a Blogosphere looks like, or what is it shape like? Does it looks like my astig brother or shape like my lasenggo father?



Obviously naman a sphere is a sphere.... It has a spherical shape like our world so it symbolises a world.... But if that sphere is same as the atmosphere, then it would have a platelike layers....


In my own opinion slash imagination, isa lang at wala ng iba.... Ang the only one that meets these characteristics.... Ano pa kundi PIZZA....! Ha-ha-ha...!


Who cares kung ano'ng shape and looks ng Blogosphere....! Sasakit lang ang ulo ko sa kaiisip nyan gutom pa ako....! Kaya kung disagree kayo dito ay bahala kayo....! Basta ako lalantakan ko na to....! Wooohooo....! Grab a piece everyone....!


P.S. You know what goes along well with pizza, apart from fizzy drinks....? A bottle of anesthetic (beer na beer!) ha-ha....! Tsalap....!

History of April Fool's Day....

Happy April Fool's Day sa lahat....! Kahapon ko pa sana pinublish ang entry na to kaya lang ay na distract ako nung issues dun sa last entry ko kaya hindi ko nagawang i-post to kaagad....!

Anyways, better late than never.... Normally we start the day here by giving a friend a punch on the arm first before he realise that it's April Fool's Day that day pala.... It's not like i will punch someone then he will punch me back and vice versa kasi bugbugan ang ending nun....! Kunting dampi lang.... Not too hard kung baga....

Actually, April Fool's Day is a day of playing tricks or maybe outsmarting someone with some clever antics.... You don't really have to hurt somebody but nowaday type of jokes are sometimes can get too harsh if not being observed properly....

Last friday's party, two of my workmates already had a taste of this April Fool's harshness when they drank some soy sauce served in shot glasses thinking that those were shots of rum ha-ha....!

Anyways, the day is almost over and if until now nothing had happen to you yet ay SAFE ka na pare ko....! I just wanna share to all this history of the April Fool's Day that i was reading this morning.... So sit back, relax and open your eyes wider.... This is highly educational stuff....! Pay attention kids....! 8D

The history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain. Current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1.

Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1. These people were labeled "fools" by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands," sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke.

This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in its own way.

In Scotland, for instance, April Fool's Day is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and as such is called Taily Day. The butts of these jokes are known as April 'Gowk', another name for cuckoo bird. The origins of the "Kick Me" sign can be traced back to the Scottish observance.

In England, jokes are played only in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs' or 'gobby' and the victim of a joke is called a 'noodle.' It was considered back luck to play a practical joke on someone after noon.

In Rome, the holiday is known as Festival of Hilaria, celebrating the resurrection of the god Attis, is on March 25 and is also referred to as "Roman Laughing Day."

In Portugal, April Fool's Day falls on the Sunday and Monday before lent. In this celebration, many people throw flour at their friends.

The Huli Festival is celebrated on March 31 in India. People play jokes on one another and smear colors on one another celebrating the arrival of Spring.

So, no matter where you happen to be in the world on April 1, don't be surprised if April fools fall playfully upon you.

Local culinary crap....

Last friday we (the whole company) went to a farewell party given by our ever generous company owner (Bert) to one wonderful co-worker, (Roger) an engineering staffer who's been there in the organisation for a fairly sum of years now and was spending his last few hours in the company with us before the retirement from this life's overturned daily routines (career/job) to a whole leisurous and a brand new horizon....



The party was held in a restaurant just along darling harbour in sydney who's crappy food was nothing compared to most restaurants with the same ranking in pinas.... When i say crappy, i mean crappy....! I'm not a chief myself, but i can do cook a decent meal, and when it comes to food i can definitely tell a good taste from the bad one....



I can't blame the company for setting the party at that place because obviously no one of us had been there before.... And as far as advertising is concern, i think it was purely curiosity that brought us there.... And i'm now really convinced that curiosity did killed the cat....!



Some western nations gave us names (kumpil) like: " only filipinos eats grass " but this time i think they're absolutely wrong....! This sort of a pressure on top of the head trait is also happening here in downunder....!



So far, this is only the second restaurant that i had experienced eating a tiny serving of dish with a bountifully exaggerated amount of garnishings and salads on top and all-over it that can already keep a hungry rabbit busy for hours....! And imagine those people that comes and go everyday....! What will they say too....?!



I whinge because it is so unfair towards the expectations of their costumers....! People came to those restaurants with ratings such as 3-4-5 stars expecting a good dining and a justified quality, quantity and flavor according to it's cost, but instead those restaurant are only selling their spots in the area and the views.... Forget about the food, forget about the whinge just look at the view....! Look there's a boat passing....! And then charging their costumers unfairly for those so called reasons....?! Now where is the fairness in that....?!



That's why i will never ever give away our yummy filipino dishes in exchange for some crappy culinary culture that they have here....! Hindi ko nilalahat kasi madami din naman ang mga straight forwards dyan.... But as time goes by, they also seems to be getting more scarce than ever....!



And don't get me wrong.... Food is food and i do appreciate and thank god for whatever food it is on my table without a doubt.... We are more blessed to still have them on our tables, unlike some unfortunate people from poorer countries who doesn't even have a single grain of rice in their plates.... But i just hate it when people are using them to cheat towards others....!



Why can't these restaurant operators just at least forget about the greed and instead be honest and be fair to their costumers instead.... Besides, by doing so these costumers in return will keep on coming back and bring the life of their businesses ticking-over....!



Sadya reklamador lang ba talaga tayong mga pinoy o talaga lang nakikitaan ko ng mga turning points ang pamamaraan nila dito....? I think i have all the rights naman to be upset at this very moment because i spent more than 30 minutes in the toilet last friday night trying to get rid of that toxic stuff inside my stomach that was bothering my sleep all night long....!



At hindi lang ako dahil pagdating ko sa trabaho kanina ay topic na sa work namin ang ordeal nila last friday night na walang pinagkaiba sa dinanas ko in almost every details....! Now you tell me.... Should i keep my mouth shut or speak out loud....?! Ha?! Wala kayong masabi ano....?!



Sige.... Habang nag-iisip kayo ay iidlip muna ako sandali.... Gisingin nyo na lang ako mamaya kung nakapagmunimuni na kayo at ready na kayong sagutin ang tanong ko at akoy puyat at wala pang tulog dahil sa B****T na restaurant na yan....! (nanggigigil! hikab!)



At buti na lang pala hindi kami nabangga kahapon kasi kasalukuyan na palang kumukulo ang tyan ng kasama namin habang nagmamaneho....! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Astig na buhay to....!

Buzzy Day....

Define busy : A single slash multiple individuals, living things and non-living things, digital slash analog, engaged in full slash half-full activities or occupied with work etc....etc....



Well, that's one of the events which started my day today.... Ala-Mission impossible the pinoy version kuno....


Subject : Costumers / Suppliers / Visitors / Mga asungot

Time : 00:00 Hrs. Sharp ( kasi flexible but need to start early if possible.)

Target : PEMPEK Systems

Mission : Alikabok / Sapot ni Spiderman / Eroplanong papel / Saranggola ni pepe

Weapon : Walis tambo / Basahan / Braso / Siko / Tuhod / Dila



Naligo pa naman ako to start with.... (bakit hindi ka ba laging naliligo peng....?) Seldom happen, but yes it did occured today.... Yesterday our big B, actually second big B (the president of our company) reminded us about the visitors from i forgot where but somewhere in europe daw are coming over to have a closer look (i thought that was close enough already....!) at the products that we're doing here in downunder....



Anyways, big B decided that it would add a pleasant impression if we would at least clear up the production floor area of any obstacles, dust, rubbish, craps, old boxes, otot, putok, tsismosa, etc.... So we did....! But it did not came earlier to me yesterday that things would start at as early as 6 o clock in the morning which few of the other guys did those that really starts early and leave early as well.... What a start to my day....!



In other words, busy day started today even before it's began....! Tuloy imbes na puyat juice ang almusal ko, biglang naging cleaning liquid at basahan....! Nasayang ang ligo ko dun a....! Nakakatawa pa kasi iilan lang ang employees ng company namin so hindi rin gagana ang pretending to clean kuno dahil very easy to spot if you're in the open daw....! Not effective kaastigan ko nito....!



Very ironic din kasi ni hindi man lang nasilayan ng mga cleaners kung sino at kung ano ang bibisita kasi kahit na anino lang ng mga ito ay ni hindi man lang nakaapak sa makintab na pagkadila namin sa tiles ng sahig....! What the F-f-f....flavor!



As a result....? Heto si pepe, parang over cooked chopsuey na pagod na pagod buong maghapon sa mixed mental, emotional, and physical turmoil.... (hikbi) Exaggerated ba he-he....? Well, sabi nga nila : " Another day, another dollar. " kung kaya't bulsa na lang talaga ang inisip ko just to boost-up my crumbling and somersaulting motivation.... Hay buhay....!



Anyways, these kind of events seldom happen naman in the workplace which i'm in, but next time i will be more prepared na as a result of this lesson that i've learned today.... At the moment i manage to compose this post na kahit na maikli ay a must post subject ito just to get rid of all the bad thoughts from today's ordeal bago matulog just to clear up my mind....



O sige mga my plens....! Ako'y matutulog na muna at bukas ay baka maglilinis na naman kami ulit he-he....! Maybe it's about time na to consider a change of career....! Joks onli po....! Heaven tong present job ko ngayon kala nyo....! Free ang breakfast dito....! Exit na muna si astig.... Plok....! Plok....!
