Ow-Jay-Tee (Part 5) my co-interns…

Image
Long gone were the days of isolation and aloofness, they were all just memories of the past. Long gone were the days of being alone: eating lunch alone, eating snacks alone, getting my allowance alone, and laughing alone. The walls I’ve made for myself vanished in thin air and it was with my knowing that this point will come… and it sure did! To date, I’m the oldest and the remaining OJT from the previous batch of OJTs in Test Department (that includes Patrick, CM, Nelly, Shane, etc.). So, I’m already a relic; prehistoric and extinct (okay, point taken). But with the outgoing OJTs, there should be incoming OJTs to fill the available slots that the outgoing OJTs left behind. And I’m glad to know that because of the new OJTs, I was able to change my old ways. Because I’m not a loner,   I just don’t feel the pool of OJTs I have back then and I’m thankful that I was able to break through my comfort zone and   believe the fact that no man   is an island. Here are my co-interns and

HONEY

Ring ring!! My phone chirped loudly inside my pocket one fine morning. I hastily open the message and was surprised with what I read. *Honey, sorry na! Asan ka ba?* Huh? That’s weird. I’m single and my name is not Honey , another prankster alert. Oh well, I’ll just ignore that one. I’m already late for school and we’ll be having a quiz later. I skipped breakfast and launched my way to school. As usual I was late but I was able to be on time for the quiz, sad to say I flunked again. Then in the middle of our laboratory class my phone vibrated again. Okay, this is unusual. I don’t receive text messages this often and this early. Maybe this is an emergency from someone. Then I took my phone from my bag and read the message from an unknown sender. *Honey, asan ka ba? Sorry na, alam kong may mali ako ikaw rin naman eh* I’m already pissed at that moment. This is awkward. I’m not in the mood to reply to this message. And I’m a guy! What the hell does this Honey-obsessed-lover

Beauty and Brains: A rare find

 source : en.rian.ru/images/16241/87/162418754.jpg  After the successful Mr. and Ms. Personality 2011 pageant night (which was held last night duh?). I can therefore say that Beauty and Brains combined is a rare find nowadays. The question and answer portion proved my proposition. It happens in most cases, and it is also a realization that we are all equal in the eyes of man and of GOD. Some handsome guys are just pretty face, once they start talking… dumb dumb dumb here we go! Pretty girls may just look pretty but their words may sometimes be pointless and senseless. (so much of less-es!) In some cases those showered with Einstein like brains and articulate tongues are those who lack in physical attributes. They may be not perfect (physically) but they always ace examinations and all mathematical questions with detailed solutions on a separate sheet (you know what I mean?).   But what caught my attention last night was the oh-I-forgot-the-answer and shoc

The Anatomy of the BEFORE and AFTER ad trend

Image
Here’s a little secret I need to tell you, I have a thing for this thing or trend they have nowadays (or even before the break of civilization) the infamous BEFORE and  AFTER look. It seems that this trend is a cliché (so redundant), a formula used by advertisers to entice consumers of all ages. I can still remember almost all slimming tea ads that show pictures of their models from fat and flabby tummies to hot and trimmed bodies. Remember any ad that uses this formula? I’m sure you have a list of it (I know right?)   I am not degrading this type of advertisement. (I was once a giddy consumer and was into these ads until now).   I just have a thing for it. Want to know what it is? Then read along… Everyday seems like a HEAVY burden to carry when you’re commuting. The traffic jam will stress you and the buses and automobiles along with the screeching tires and suffocating atmosphere will kill you slowly. Thanks to some diversions: billboards and posters of apparels, beauty p

Top Nostalgic Anime Songs

Image
I can still remember the time when I was still addicted to anime. I sing gibberish songs with all of my heart as if I can feel every lyrics of it. And even if I really don't know Japanese that well, I still find Japanese songs cool and awesome. Every afternoon, I would slack myself and face the TV monitor and start watching animes after class. I can still remember the times when I would just ditch games such as patintero, hopscotch, etc. just to watch my favorite characters battling it out for their nation as their Gundams clash into a duel. I was also shocked that Nuriko was not a girl I thought she was in Fushigi Yuugi. I was stunned in admiration as the characters of Vision of Escaflowne were revealed. And was smitten with all the drama and love story of Gadget Boy... So much for that, here are all my favorite animes with their opening songs just to remind you that you were once an Anime Addict back those childhood days.. Ghost Fighter Opening Theme Song

I miss the old The Script

Image
Long gone were the days of falling in love and happy endings; long gone were the days of pure bliss and happy songs about loving and being loved; because now THE SCRIPT is here to defy the laws of stereotypical love affairs. The phenomenal band which hails from Dublin, Ireland is set to fill our lives with true-to-the-bones and brokenhearted songs. The first time I heard their song “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” I was in total LSS. How can a band sing songs like these? They should really be in pain while writing this song… the lyrics exude something sad and real. LOVE it is that they’re singing about and what’s good about their songs is the truth behind it all – That when we fall in love we will not experience all the good things, in fact it’s the brokenness of a relationship that makes the song so appealing and lingering. Here are the songs that I’m dying to hear from the Script this coming April 16, 2011, so sad I won’t be able to watch them live…  1. The Man Who Can
