All in one day: Two jobs

I really can't imagine that i will have two jobs in one day. it's really not that easy to handle many things. at first i thought that it's okay cause i managed my schedule perfectly. the 1st job was in makati and my shift is 8am-5pm and after that i'll go to my other job that was in mandaluyong/shaw boulevard and my shift there is 7pm-4am. i got a lot of sleep cause i did my work on my 2nd job in the other company and in my 2nd job all i did was surf and sleep. (I'm getting paid to sleep LOL). but this week is different. we had a lot of things to discuss on both of my jobs. we did a lot of changes in one of the website that i am handling and the other one is training new employees to a technique that i did in my last company i had. i'm really burned out right now and i want to quit on one of my job. but the thing is there's an advantage on the other one and there's another advantages on the other too. what i don't like on both of my job is the shift. the morning shift is okay but it's a little too early for me the other one is too damn late and i can't chill with my friends because of that. but they share something in common. the girls. hahaha ! both of my jobs got this super hot chick and i can't stop looking at them. they're so hot i can't even touch them. hahaha ! on to the topic, what i did is wrong, i get full of myself and thought that i can do everything. so lesson learned for me here. the thing is now that i will let go of my other job, how can i support myself? it looks like i'll be going back home in my parents house just to cut all my expenses. plus i enrolled for this graduate school that i can't even attend to.. wtf ! so i'm really gonna let go of the other one..

and why did i get and accepted these two jobs? it's because of ........ :) seriously i want to get more busy so that i can't think of anything else. just work. but it ricochet back to me and i got more wasted, stressed and burned out..

so don't get two jobs.. unless one is home based and another one is company based. and never ever accept things that you cannot handle. you'll just get more effin' tired of everything.

10:30++ - I am Legend
I Am Legend is a 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. I really like this film. actually I'm a one man team so i like movies with only 1 cast and surviving it all by himself. but this movie is not about surviving. Robert was a Soldier. His family crashed with another helicopter when they where going to a safe facility. He lived with his dog for a year. that time he hunts for Deers that migrated to the city and searched for food. He had a lab in his basement with lab rats to test his cure for the virus. he then trapped and got an infected one and found out a solution to the cure but the infected ones partner hunted him down and he was trapped just before sunset. he was then rescued by his dog and was died on his arms. then he decided to take revenge for it that's when a two survivors again, rescued him. he then woke up in his house and met the two survivors. later that night, a mob of infected ones have surrounded his house and started destroying their hideout. he then put the other two survivors to the basement porch of the house and gives them the cure for the disease. he then goes head on with the leader of the infected with a hand grenade sacrificing himself in the end. after that, the two survivors came to this facility where soldiers and other civilians we're living and gives the leader the antidote for the disease and tells them that Robert invented the cure.

12:00++ - Martyrs
a 2008 French-Canadian horror film written and directed by Pascal Laugier. It was first screened during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival at the Marché du Film. The film was released in France publicly on 3 September 2008. The film begins with a young girl, Lucie (Jessie Pham), as she escapes from a disused abattoir where she has been imprisoned and physically abused for a length. Fifteen years later, Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï) bursts into a seemingly normal family's home and kills them all with a shotgun. Lucie calls Anna (Morjana Alaoui) to tell her that she has finally found and killed the people responsible for her childhood abuse and requests her help in burying the bodies. Upon arriving, Anna is horrified at the carnage, and worries that Lucie may have murdered the wrong people. Anna later discovers the mother is still alive and tries to help her escape, but the two are discovered by Lucie, who bludgeons the mother to death. Lucie is again attacked by the scarred creature, but all Anna sees is Lucie banging her head against the wall and cutting herself with a knife; the 'creature' is nothing more than a psychological manifestation of Lucie's guilt for leaving behind another girl who was also imprisoned and tortured with her as a chill. Lucie tells the apparition that she killed its tormenters and that it can rest, but it has no effect. Lucie finally realizes that her insanity will never leave her and slits her throat. She dies in Anna's arms. The next day, after mourning her friend's death, Anna attempts to clean up the house and discovers a secret underground chamber. Imprisoned within is a horribly tortured woman, covered in scars with a strange metal contraption nailed to her head. While Anna attempts to care for her and clean her wounds, a group of strangers arrive and shoot the woman dead. Captured by the menacing newcomers, Anna meets their leader, an elderly lady only referred to as Mademoiselle (Catherine Bégin). She explains that she belongs to a secret society seeking to discover the secrets of the afterlife through the creation of "martyrs". Systematic acts of torture are inflicted upon young women in the belief that their suffering will result in a transcendental insight into the world beyond this one. So far, all of their attempts have failed, and they have only created "victims". Anna becomes their latest subject and is imprisoned in a chamber. After an unspecified period, during which she is repeatedly beaten and degraded, Anna hallucinates a conversation with Lucie, who tells her to "let go" so she won't be afraid any more. Soon after, Anna is told she has progressed further than any other test subject, and has reached the "final stage" and will suffer no more. Anna is taken to a surgeon and is flayed alive. She survives the procedure, entering a state that is described as being "euphoric" and likened to achieving transcendence. Mademoiselle arrives, eager to speak to Anna about her experience. Anna turns to her and whispers into her ear. Members of the society begin gathering at the house to learn of the insights Anna shared with Mademoiselle. As Mademoiselle prepares herself, a doubting member asks her if what Anna said was clear and precise. Mademoiselle replies that there is no room for interpretation, and asks him if he could imagine what comes after death. When he says no, she tells him to "keep doubting" and places a pistol in her mouth and shoots herself. An intertitle informs the audience that "martyr" is Greek for "witness".y period of time. No signs of sexual abuse are identified, and the perpetrators and their motivations remain a mystery. Lucie is placed in an orphanage, where she is befriended by a young girl named Anna (Erika Scott). Anna soon discovers that Lucie believes that she is constantly being terrorized by a ghoulish creature; a horrible, disfigured, emaciated woman (Isabelle Chasse) covered in scars. -Wikipedia (movies)

OPM: What really happened..

OPM or "Original Pinoy Music" was first introduced in the late 80's. It was called in the late 70's Pinoy Rock/Garage music/Tunog Kalye. Back then, people were inspired in writing poems and making original chord progression. Chord Progression is the process of making rhythms by the use of every instruments (guitars, keyboard, drums and base are the basic instruments) and back then people were against plagiarism and copying of chord progression. artist like Francis M. is one of the people who's against with it but by the time he wrote his hit songs Kaleidoscope World and Friends, it's tunes and intro's were the same as The Beatles hit songs "Here, There, Everywhere" and "In my life" which made a ruckus on pinoy music stream, by that time sample/sampling was introduced. Sampling is using same chord progression of a hit song but made public and with the composer's approval. many artist back then was introduced and rises up to fame because of their unique and original compositions and chord progressions. Eraserheads was one of those bands and stayed on the minds of every Filipino today.

Today, OPM in my opinion is fading. most of the singer/bands are doing revivals and mostly these songs were a hit back then. what really bugs me is that they've been doing their own versions of it. i'm not against it but as you can see, reviving songs from the past is good and i know it's trending here in the phillipines but it's just for bars and pubs. why revive songs and send it as a proposal for a new album when you can just write your own song.

composers from late 80's were motivated because of new and aspiring musicians, they compete with their own and original compositions, rey valera, renz verano, ogie alcasid, ariel rivera and other ballad composers were competing with bands or tunog kalye genre like eraserheads, rivermaya, parokya ni edgar, the teeth, grin department and many more. back then our music industry was at it's peak. we even competed with other foreign artist and won it in our own language.

today, OPM is fading fast. i'm not saying it's because of other genres like hip hop/rap, kpop and jpop, pop and many more genres but it's because of us supporting piracy. top level composers are still motivated in writing original compositions but they are not financially motivated and it's because of piracy. they wont be risking their compositions for a label company because once it is out there it's easy to manipulate. composers were risking everything for us to see what's happening to our music scene. other bands were disbanding because they cant support their own lives just by living as a musicians. others stayed because they love and like to live it.

I'm not against any other genres, as i said to other people "Music connects people, kahit anung genre pa yan". it makes us connected. what I'm saying is we were connected by their songs and compositions. it's about time to give back to them and appreciate on what they have done to be heard.

SongMeanings: Here is Gone


Lyrics Meaning:
"You and I got somethin'
But it's all and then it's nuthin to me, yeah
And I got my defenses
When it comes through your intentions for me, yeah"
Story: two person have this same connections, they had this same feeling for each other but one of them think it's just a fluke and got his/her defense up on guard. he/she thinks that the other one is not like the one for him and thought that he/she must be careful because he/she does not know if the other one is serious on what they have that time.

"And we wake up in the breakdown
With the things we never thought we could be, yeah"
and one day they thought that if they'd be together, they would be very happy, and things would work just fine

"I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
We got to move you darlin
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all"
But this time the other one thinks that of all people, why should he/she think that way of him. like he/she is just using the other one, and thought that he/she must make a move before it's too late but when he/she made that move the other one does not appreciate it at all. he/she is not interested on what the other one is doing for him/her.

"And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can feel you falling
And I wanted to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone"
Now the person who did those efforts for him/her is at loss. he/she wants to be free from what they had and wants to clear everything on what they had. he knows that the other person have some feelings for him/her but it THINK it's too late for now because he/she had given up on what they had back then. he/she wants to move on an go on with his/her life now.

"I am no solution
To the sound of this pollution in me, yeah
And I was not the answer
So forget you ever thought it was me, yeah"
He/She had told the other one that he/she got issues and he/she can't change that. He/She told the other one that they were never meant to be and it's best for them to broke up and pull everything off. because they were never meant for each other.

"And I don't need the fallout
Of the path that's in between us
And I'm not holding on
And all your lies weren't enough to keep me here"
One of them doesn't want to be the reason of their broke up so he/she made up stories about them but either way he/she just want to move on even though his/her partner tells him/her that he/she would change everything and promises that everything will be alright again.

"I know it's out there
I know it's out there
And I can feel you falling"
Now that he/she is trying to move on with their lives he/she still thinks that he/she will find the right one. and still the other one is making it up for what because this time his/her partner thought that he/she is really in love with him/her.

"I know it's out there
I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone, yeah"
Still hoping that the day would come when he/she will meet the right one for him/her that deserves what he/she have. he/she told and finalize everything for his/her partner that it's over this time and live his/her life now without each other by their sides.

NOTE: The point of this is that don't make rational and hasty decision, before going in and divulge into that relationship you must think everything first. know everything first, study and observe first cause it may not be the right time you both of you to be together. take sometime, know each other first. then if thing work out then take it to the next level.

ahhhh !! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I WROTE AND UPDATED MY BLOG !! Been busy doing articles and other stuffs at the office. :D

Airheads: A Flavor of Candies


this is not just an ordinary candy bar. once you get a taste of it you'll crave for more. and there's many flavors to choose from. what i like most is lemonade and slammin' sour flavors. i once bought a couple of this back when i was still a kid. i remember i used to buy this from our school's canteen. i used to stretch it out first before i eat it or wrap it around between my fingers then lick it. the thing about airheads is that it is a tangy taffy like chewing candy- wiki said. you can stretch it, roll it or make a stick human figure from it. it's fun to play with it before you eat it. and the best part is when you ate it the flavor stays on your mouth and can last for a minute. even when you drink a water, you can still taste it's sour taste. today it's hard to find these candy in a neighborhood. not back then when every sari-sari store have these mini airheads with a flavor of lemonade, blue raspberry and cherry. today they are often sold at mall's candy shop stalls or at grocery store's counter with a wide range of flavors.

try one if you like. it'll lift you up to heaven i promise. they are somewhat like a feel good food for a person like me. and i don't know why but i like candies. hehe :) CANDIEEEEES !!

such an eyesore

these past few months i've been seeing those not too good things to be true. when i was walking in cubao (place here in the philippines) i saw these old guys dating younger girls. and when i say girls, literally girls. these girls are below 15yrs old and those men that i saw looks like in their late 30's. wtf.. yeah i like girls, they are cute. but not that young. i like women 1-2yrs younger than me but in this case it's a bit of disturbing. why? cause they're just a kid and they don't have a knowledge about what's love and what's not.

i know that i should not get into other people's business but wtf! it's a kid and you are 25+ older than them! this may sound like i'm being judgmental or something but from the way i saw it even if you turn the world upside down still that isn't right!

why chose a girl that is 25 yrs old younger than you? what's the point? because they can be easily fall for you? why not get a women the same age like you? wtf! PEDO!

sleeping disorders



today's not that great.. i have been awake for 42 hrs.. i don't know why but i can't sleep.. sabi nga ni mama masyado daw akong nagiisip, nagagaya na daw ako sa kanya.. well it's not that i have been thinking too much. ayaw lang talaga ng katawan ko matulog. anyway back to the topic. there are many sleeping disorders na d masyadong napapansin. most common sleeping order that people know is insomia.

Insomnia is a chronic difficulty in falling asleep and/or maintaining sleep when no other cause is found for these symptoms sabi sa wiki. as for my experience insomnia is a pain in the ass before sleeping. yup i experienced it since highscool. medyo on and off nga lang xa. hehe. another one that I've experienced is Bruxism. Bruxism is the form of grinding or clenching of sleep while sleeping. marami ng nagsasabe sa akin na ang weird ko daw matulog. I've been grinding my teeth while sleeping. tas nakakairita daw. hahaha! kasalanan ko ba eh tinabihan nyu akong matulog. :) so far that's the sleeping order that i have. i don't know what sleeping disorder is snoring but yes i snore. i snore louder than you will expect. sabe nila you snore because you are stressed or what. but i'm not stressed. sadyang nagsnore lng ako tingin ko. :)

my mom's a nurse so alam ni mama kung ilang oras dapat matulog ang isang tao. wiki said-
Sleep needs vary widely from person to person, but general guidelines are:
16 hours for infants
9 hours for teenagers
7-8 hours for adults
Keep in mind that some adults do fine with 5 hours of sleep and others need as many as 10 hours per night.

wala nman akong pake kung hanggang ilang oras ako makatulog. i just need to sleep if i feel doing it. why do we need a guideline for sleeping anyway? if you want to sleep for 10 hours then go. it doesn't matter if you oversleep. just keep in mind of your duties and responsibilities as a person. kung may gagawin ka ng araw na un be a man and don't forget to do it. :) tulad ko.. la pa akong tulog.. hehe..
