Toad Busters....!

I'm posting this topic because i find it both bizzare and funny.... I don't know if you're aware that australians had been fighting a long battle against the invasive cane toads for a long number of years now....


There has been some attempts to get rid of this harmful pest and one of those which i found so uniquely strange is now going on in Darwin.... Cane toad madness....!


By the way, cane toads are not an alien creatures from mars or outer space, it's just a humble toad same in appearance with our hawaiian toad in the phils i don't know if we are talking about the same thing here 'coz they look exactly the same....! Maybe they are the same after all he-he....! Makapagpyutirs-pyutirs nga mamya para mag-research....


Anyways, a single nanay toad can produce hundreds of thousand eggs in a single breeding season.... In short, these eggs will hatch into little baby canies ready to spread fears on anything in their path na parang grimlins nyahahaaa...!


Unlike the common toads, cane toads are harmful to native wildlifes.... It is said that the milk like liquid oozing-out through the toad's skin has a similar effect as poison when mistakably eaten by animals.... There has been some numerous attempts to rectify this problem but so far, non of which what so ever had been proven effective in lowering their numbers and keeping up with their fast breeding phase....


The funny thing was, somebody came up with a genius idea to motivate people to keep catching the pest and secure a victory platform in the middle of this battle.... That instead of facing their defeat, they came up with a way to do the toad busting the fun way....! I'd say, " pulutan " ang solusyon dyan he-he....!


Masyado ko na yata kayong binibitin dito ha-ha....! Here's the funny bit, in Darwin you can exchange this gross creatures with bag-full of freebies....! Astig....!


I think for every 2 toads, you'll have an ice cream in cone.... For 4 toads, you will receive a schooner of beer, and for every 10 toads that you can catch you can get a free ticket for a movie of your choice.... Ang galing di ba....?!


If ever pala na may chance akong pumunta sa Darwin, instead of taking with me heaps of pocket money i'll just bring a large basket na lang 'coz their currency is readily hopping all-over the place ha-ha....!


So tayo na sa Darwin, manghuli ng cane toads, humawak ng ice cream sa kaliwang kamay, beer sa kanan at manood ng TRANSFORMERS ha-ha....! Ngyakhh....! Maghugas ka nga muna ng kamay mo dun....! Yukh....!


There's something strange in your neighborhood....

Who you gonna call?

TOAD BUSTERS!!

I can't hear you!

TOAD BUSTERS!!

Louder!

AAAAAAAHHHH!!

How's that?

That's too loud!

Napakanta pa tuloy ha-ha....! Dyan na nga kayo....!

Where are they now....?

Good weekend everyone....! Allow me to test your memory today, naalala nyo pa ba ang movie na "KARATE KID"....? If you don't, let me refresh your memory again.... Okay tumalikod ka muna at nang mabatukan kita ha-ha....! Joks onli, baka busy ka lang sa kalalakwatsa nung time na yun kaya na miss mo ng 10 dozen times din he-he....!


The movie was about a young american kid who went to japan with an old karate master friend expecting to have a good time, but instead was caught in a family feud and was being bullied by the nephew of the other family.... He found himself deeply involved in a serious trouble and was left with no other choice but to fight and defend himself and his new found friends.... Ganyan lang kaikli yun he-he....! Just a summary only of course, but in the real movie you'll find yourself getting carried away, sinking, drifting, and being washed-off by each and every scene.... It was quite an explosive movie that time....

It all happened when just recently i stumbled upon an article about the japanese main girl character in that movie, and i found out that she is half filipino pala....! How come i didn't know that....?! I've seen that movie over and over for maybe about 10 dozen times but never had i stumbled on any print, television, or radio media ads saying that the girl pala in that movie na kahit bata pa ako nun ay naging crush ko pa yata ay half pinoy pala....! Anyways, that was long time ago and that only proved that i was destined to be a real astig pala ha-ha....!

The girls name is Tamlyn Tomita, daughter to a japanese father and a filipino mother.... I just wonder where those people are now and what are they being busy about in the present time....? That includes also the karate kid himself, Ralph Macchio.... While Pat Morita, Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi, died at the age of 73 in November of 2005....

Mga kamote sa kukote lang to na gusto ko lang i-share, just curious lang about those celebrities that had suddenly vanished from the limelight.... Or were they....? Probably it was just due to a limited feed of television programs, shows, and movies shown in pinas from out side sources before that we've missed to keep-up with them.... I've also inserted here some of their photos before and the present ones....

Masyado yatang napahaba ang entry na to a ha-ha....! Anyways, this is another category na naman so i hope in the future na may maisipan na naman akong mga lost celebrity topics para naman may maidagdag ako rito.... That's it....! Again, it's wonderful to be back blogging again....! =D

Pepe in the spotlight....

I was tagged by Redlan ages ago ha-ha....! This is a sooo late response, but better be late than never di ba....? It's called, “ In The Spotlight ” by Christy of Christy’s Coffee Break. The meme contains 12 questions and a blogger may answer all of them, or just pick the ones they like. For the complete rules and list of questions, please visit Christy’s site from the link above.... Here it goes....!


What makes your blog unique? Well, i don't find my blog UNIQUE at all, but i'm doing all my best to make it less offensive and more interesting.... That's it, i think my blog is not unique but INTERESTING ha-ha....! Anyways, let's leave that part to the readers to judge.... I don't even think that it's right to lift my own chair here ha-ha....! Kayo na lang ang bahalang humusga para dyan....!


Is this your first meme? I've lost counts on that ha-ha....! Can't remember how many, but if you'll give me a minute i can check my records for you.... There's only a couple times i guess....! One thing for sure, i enjoy responding to all of them....!


When did you start blogging? I started blogging less than a year ago just last December 2006.... There was a blog that i accidentally found on the web and since that i was frequently visiting the site and read and laughted at all the super kwela entries.... I find that blogger a so natural writer, she's a genius i reckon she is....! That prompted me to start my own too in the end.... It's fun....!


What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? I have no precise goals at all, i just find peace of mind whenever i'm opening my blog and updating or checking it at times.... It's more like a home to me that's all.... At the moment, i'm getting closer to my number 100 entry whooohooo....! There will be a party....!


What are your feelings on the "blog popularity" issue? Competition is a stress in itself.... As i've stated above, this is my peaceful home and i'll do all my best to keep it as accommodating as ever towards my readers and friends and that's all that matters to me.... No popularity issues worries me at all....


What's your favorite childhood memory? Well, it's always been the scene of a complete togetherness.... I missed those times spent with my brothers and sister as a child.... Now we'are scattered everywhere around the globe working and minding our own lives.... We seldom see or contact each other now either.... Nakakalungkot lang isipin all those memories printed in the past....


If you were stranded on a deserted island what three things would you want to have with you? That would be fun for me, survival is my favorite game....! Just give me a knife, fresh water and a genie in the lamp for the other three more wishes ha-ha....!


Are you a spiritual person? That's one of those things that i don't want to measure or discuss.... I can only tell you that i have a firm root system under my feet, a sturdy trunk, dense green leaves, bountiful sweet fruits, and plenty of flexible branches at the top that's all....! =D


What is the weirdest thing that had ever happened to you? So far i couldn't think of any weird experiences at all.... How can we describe WEIRD anyway, something uncanny or supernatural perhaps....? I think weird is the opposite side of life's wonder, as in possitive and negative terms.... We tend to make wrong judgements not once but many times in our lives, so much so that it worries us most of the time in any ways.... So i think life itself with it's daily riddles is weird enough to qualify.... Yes weird things happens to me everyday ha-ha....!


What is your worst quality? Some friends said that mapagtanim daw ako ng galit... That i tend to keep a grudge most of the time.... My answer to that is not a grudge but i'm only a fast learner.... I don't want to fall on the same spot that had cut my knees and elbows once, so i learned how to avoid it the next time.... I behave like a mirror, what you place in front of me is what you can see in the reflection.... Worthy friends enjoys my company like a bowl of honey....! I hate unfair and ridiculous people that's all....!


Who do you want to be tagged? I know i want to tag some friends but let me think about that for a while he-he....! I just got back from hiding so i'm a bit disorientated at the moment....! By the way, thanks to Redlan for tagging me....! =D

Balik blogging na naman....!

Whooohooo...! Welcome back to me he-he....! I'm back everyone....! Walang katao-tao rito nung bumalik at magsimula na namang mag-type ang mga naninibago kong mga daliri kanina a! Nasan na kaya ang lahat ngayon? Guys i'm home....! At last natapos na rin ang madugong ordeals ko sa #@*!&% na trabaho na yan....! It's not what you think it is hindi po ako nagmura, nauntog lang kaya nagkabuhol-buhol ang mga daliri sa pag-type he-he....!


Anyways, ay natapos na rin ang pinaka mahirap na yugto sa buhay trabaho ko for this year hay salamat po....! We just finished the stock-taking for this year kasi end of the year na in business terms nila dito na ang ibig sabihin ay bayad tax season na kaya yun....!


I was one of the staffers daw ayun sa big-B namin na nag-volunteer para tumulong dun sa pagbibilang ng libo-libong spare-parts, mechanical parts, electronic parts, etc.... Pero teka muna, preno ka muna dyan tatang, plis hold your horses muna for a while and listen to me....! Hindi ko yata naalalang nag-blolohwa pwe! pwe! Nag-volunteer ako dun a....! Anyways, as long na may libreng tsibog ay okay lang na paminsan-minsan ay mabibilog he-he....!

How's everyone by the way....? Tagal ko palang nawala a, kala nyo siguro ay nagbakasyon ako sa kung saan ano....? Pati tuloy mga daliri ko ay nakalimutan na si Mr. Qwert Yuiop ( hungarian inventor ng type-writer. nasa keyboard nyo ang signature nya. ) kaya medyo nangangapa pa ng kunti kanina kung san na napunta ang amazing typing skills ko ha-ha....!


Glad to be back blogging again.... I know madami akong utang na naiwanan dito but i'll make it up to yous in no time at all you'll see....! Sobra lang kasing naging demanding ang flow ng career life ko this year kaya dapat ko ring tapunan ng atensyon para may pambayad ako ng kuryente at internet connection syempre....! Things that bloggers cannot live without he-he....!


For the mean time ay medyo maga-adjust muna ako to blend ulit sa buhay blogging.... I will start probably by finishing some of my unfinish entries at the same time ay blog-hopping, and answering back to the messages in my shout-box yun na....! Meanwhile, tulog muna ako at bukas ko na lang uumpisahan yung mga nasa list of activities ko ha-ha....!


Salamat pala ulit dun sa mga patuloy na bumibisita rito kahit na parang kinakausap nila mga sarili nila minsan dahil wala ako rito ha-ha....! Thanks a lot guys, this blog will never happen without yous behind....!

Napilitan nang magparamdam si astig....!

---WON'T BE LONG NOW....!

A response to Mel's request today, heto't nagparamdam na tuloy ako he-he....! Hello Mel....! Nothing had changed naman in my system, i still have that old blogomotor still running on top gears all the time....!


I'm just too mentally engrossed lang since that day one of my sudden disapearance here in the blogosphere.... Anyways, i'm already preparing to return to this lovely community now and hopefully the flow will never again falter....


I would like to take this oppurtunity too to thank everybody who are continuously supporting my humble blog all this time and looking after it while i was away.... Thanks a lot guys, i really do appreciates all your support....! There isn't any space in this post large enough to hold all the words and gratitudes that i wanted to type for yous all naks drama ni astig bulok ha-ha....! Thanks....!


I still read all your messages daily from my workplace-computer though.... But i was too busy performing some tasks here and there that i didn't find enough time to respond to all those.... But i still managed to take a sneak-peek most of the time....! Maybe i still do have that old sneaking skills that i've learned from school days after all ha-ha....!


Please bear with me a little bit more this time, i won't take long now.... Baka nga bukas lang ay balik na ulit ako rito ha-ha....! Take care all....! Thanks to Redlan for the tag pala, i will do that as soon as i return....!

Last drop.... BUSY....

Sorry everyone.... If there were some tags never answered, entries undone, empty promises, i apologise for all that.... I just ran out of time to finish all those things.... I have to be away for a while.... I hope.... Please keep visiting my blog.... There's something really important that i have to deal with for the time being.... Be good all....!

What is your mobile phone personality....?

Your mobile phone reveals what kind of a person you are.... Since this is an electronic era and mobile phones or cell phones as you commonly call it in pinas has been a very important part of our daily lives nowadays....

This is my present mobile phone.... Very simple lang s'ya.... Binili ko pa yan sa pinas last year, mura lang yan he-he....!

Therefore, mobile phone truly reflects the personality of it's owner slash pindot-master equally as our signatures, perfumes, music, hairstyles, clothings, jewelleries, nail polish, patay na kuko, and also na rin ang blogs....etc.

I've realised this when i was re-charging my mobile phones both the old ones and the new one, i've noticed that they seems to have the same personality or was it only my taste of pick in colours and styles that did the likeness in them....?

Perhaps it was really myself reflected to my choice of mobile phones that i've discovered....! I guess my mobile phone is indeed myself in a small scale version lang ha-ha....!


Hey, why don't we make a game out of this idea....! How about i will generate a TAG for everyone to pass-on....! All you have to do is to give five (5) unique features of your mobile phone that best describes you most....!

For example : In 5 words, can you roughly describe what kind of a mobile phone personality are you....? I-pass nyo rin to sa mga chosen friends nyo pagkatapos, wag nyo lang kalimutang i-post din tung mechanics para alam din nila ang gagawin.... And then, i-inform nyo rin sila na na-TAG nyo na sila dito para alam din nila syempre di ba....

1) Nokia 3220 - Affordable, friendly, reliable, and pocket-size hearted na tulad ko ha-ha....! Gets nyo....! Sachet size, tag-along buddy....! Bestfriend (to a good friend) na parang chewing gum sa puwet kung kumapit ha-ha....! Hoy, bastos yang iniisip nyo ha, hindi yan....!

2) Jet black / Gray - Quiet but focused.... Eager to learn.... Walang kurap na personality, in short tulala ha-ha....! But full of surprises naman....!

3) Light and simple - Walang pakialam, mind your own business and there's not a single drop of enviosness in the blood-stream.... My motto : "If it doesn't bite, it's harmless" ha-ha....! Mangawit ka man sa kaka-show-off dyan sa bagong retainer mo tsong, hindi mo ko natinag nyan....! Parang ganun ha-ha....!

4) Bright lights / wide-screen - Very cheeky at times, funny, talking radio, walking news paper, legendary mailbox, and sometimes or maybe most of the time shock-absorber pa he-he....! Absorbent tissue na rin he-he....! Kung ano-ano na nga naa-absorb ko dyan e....!

5) Heavy duty - Strong willed (tama ba spelling?), ibig sabihin matigas ang ulo ha-ha....! Low maintainance but hardy, determined, jack of all trades....! Kalikotero.... I just made-up that word he-he....!

Now i will hand-over this question to my blog-friends.... I would like to tag : Darlene, Luisa, Tintin, Maud, Vicki, Ghee, Tina, Andianka, Bry, Zj, Dyan, Maj, Redlan, Rus, Katharine, and last but not the least Bam....!Thanks a lot in advance guys....! Take your time, this one is no rush okay....? Ha-ha....!
