Ako ang PINAKAMAGASTOS na Job seeker

Ano ba yan! Shet! Wala pang tumatawag saakin na kumpanya.. well, except sa Femar, isang chivaru color separation company na nasa Makati (sila ung mga nagpprint ng print ads for agencies like McCann etc..). Bakit magastos? Simple lang. One word. Bulacan. I really don't have anything to blog about. Pero parang gusto ko na ulit palitan ung layout ko! hahahahaah! Baka asarin nanaman ako nila Pia...

Well, linulunok ko na ang sinabi ko dati. Mas matino parin ung layout na kita lahat... ummm... u know!

Tapos eto pa... excited na akong matapos ung php module ko. Para akong hestudyante ngayon eh, I'm studying php and mysql tapos nagpapatulong ako kay stephen pag may di naiintindihan... teka speaking of Stephen...

nanalo kaya si STEPHEN FERNANDEZ bilang konsehal sa ika ewang distrito ng Maynila? Si Stephen Fernandez nga pala ang guro namin sa Taekwondo noong 2nd year yata yun? Tapos coach din sya dati ng Philippine team... tapos ung poster nya, naka side kick round house pose with FPJ's face on top (opacity ay siguro 60%)... Take note: nasa party ni FPJ! Well, no comment =)


Friends, sa palagay ko wala pa kayong balita na short hair na ulit ako ngayon. anyway, hayan. Eye candy for you (yuck!! hehe) Tapos ung hairline ko sa may leeg shinave... kadiri nga para akong semikal underneath. pero humaba na sya kaya hindi na nakakaenjoy hawakan.. dahil dyan, bumili ako ng Gilette Rubie from Manong's store at shinave ko ulit ito sa banyo. Syempre tagung-tago ako sa ate ko. baka malaman kasi nya, bawalan pa ako. Eh kating kati na kasi ako kaya walang makakapigil sakin! Ang saya saya na ng feeling ng ulo ko ngayon. Para akong long-leeg(ed) hahah!! Pero higit na mas masaya, ung pagsheshave ko. Ang sarap pala magshave ng buhok, bakit hindi proud ang mga lalaki dito?

Hay nako, si Vilma, ung kasama namin sa bahay na may twin sister na Nora ang name, umuwi na sa Pangasinan! Mag aaral kasi sya sa pasukan. Kaya hayan. Habang wala pang trabaho ang inyong lingkod ay magmimistulang katulong muna ako. Tapos na kong magbunot, magwalis, magpakain ng aso, mag ayos ng kama, at magwalis sa garahe na ang daming dahon (parang autumn dito sinasabi ko sainyo!) Kailangan ko naman ngayong mag hugas ng plato. Ciao!

Tips to become 10 to 50 Million Dollars Richer!
I've been receiving those emails since last year i think. such are enticing, really. But then fraud thrives in the internet nowadays and it is really hard to trust anyone especially someone who claims he has a HUGE amount of money he is willing to share with you in return for your assistance. These emails ask for your help to transfer that amount of money into your bank account so that **reason stated here** and they ask for stalking details such as your address and phone number. They tell you it's 100% risk free. Your address and phone number may of course be needed. But it being risk free, well it depends on your definition of what a risk is. It is possible that the millions really exist. The problem now however is whether the story of where the money came from is true. I mean they may have come from an illegal transaction right? It may be ransom money for instance or money stolen from government funds. They may be contacting people from different countries to disperse the wealth so as to leave no traces of corruption. Kaya anyone who reads this, BEWARE. Do not entertain such emails... malay nyo goons yun diba? And they may not really want to share their money with you, baka may mangyari pang masama.. i mean.. siguro nga totoo.. pero ikaw bahala. pagi-ingat lang naman mga friends. Anyway, these are the emails:

Bismillah-hir-rahma-nir-rahim.

I am Mr SAID Sanko from Kono, Sierra Leone and my father was the former Special Adviser to the outsted Head of State of Sierra Leone, Major Johny Paul Koroma. During the war between our forces led by the Ex-Head of State, Major Johnny Koromah and the West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG), my country relied heavily on the foreign earnings generated from diamond trade. This money was personally kept by the then President, Major Johny Paul Koroma, since our banking system collapsed during the war. However, as the war progressed, it became apparent that we were going to lose the war to the West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG). At this point, the key officers of the administration started making frantic efforts on how to leave Sierra Leone safely, thereby sharing the proceed/money from this diamond trade. In view of the fact that my father was one of the key officers of the then administration and an in-law to Major Paul Koromah, he succeeded in getting the sum of $25 Million (Twenty-five Million United States Dollars).

We made arrangements and transferred the money through diplomatic means to South Africa where I am presently residing in exile as an Asylum Seeker but unfortunately, my father died of heart attack after few months of exile in South Africa and automatically, Upon our arrival in South Africa, due to consultation, we deposited the money with a Security Company for security reasons. pending when we see a trustworthy person who will assist us in transferring this money to his account outside South Africa as the strict Monetary Laws here do not allow asylum seekers certain financial rights.

I shall be most grateful if you can assist me accomplish this and hoping too that you will remain trustworthy. For your efforts and assistance, I have agreed to give you 20% of the total sum, I would also wish you keep this proposal highly confidential and secret, If you are interested in assisting me, please call me as soon as possible with the telephone number below.

Assalamu Alakum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatahu.

I am Mr. jerry Ben. the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of foreign operation department BANQUE NATIONAL D INVESTISSEMENT LOME-TOGO WEST AFRICA, with due respect and regards, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and audting in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November 1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and my partner to enable the whole plans and idea be pofitable and successful during the time of execution.The said amount was USD25, 000,000 Million Dollars).I am glad to say that with the introduction of internet and website,I was opportuned and pleasured to have come across your contact through this satellite meddia.All the adverts and news media in your website is what interest me most to contact you on this very issue.As it may intrest you to know,

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.


In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because, I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to this bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be retransfered into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer both local and international like telephone bills,e-mail bills include the documents fees, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please,you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account.And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent shearing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.

All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.please reply to this mail box; jerry_ben2004@zwallet.com

On getting raped and chinoy employers


I replied to a post from pex saying they have an openign. I passed my resume then they let me go to their office in sta cruz. Turned out it was a company that prints calendars and sometimes posters. owned by a chinese family. I really don't like the idea of working for chinoys because it's so awkard. It's like you're working abroad! They talk to you in Filipino, and they decide.. and talk to themselves in Chinese in front of you. When they did that, it's like hearing them say to each other... "O ano? Pupugutan na ba natin ng ulo to?"

Anyway, they told me they're gonna try me for 2 or 3 days, and were apologetic in saying that they have also other applicants who they wanna try too. I don't know how to say it but i really wanted to tell them that it's okay, i don't really wanna work for them anyway. But then they were too nice to me that i have to work for them without pay next week. Hay nako, sanay na naman ako, companies getting my ideas! Charot!! I really don't like to work there because it would bore me a lot to be in front of the computer all the time! But then, they have my rewriteable, and i have to get it back.. sayang din noh! Now I have a dilemma. How to reject a job offer.
Charing lang.. as if eh.

"Si Candy yan, tulog na..."


After that, Iste and I met and went to Leonid's Dad's wake but we found out he was already cremated earlier that afternoon. So we went instead to the wake of his cousin Candice Castro, the Lasalle graduate who was killed and got raped first. Her white casket was closed. It was because her skull was broken and maybe they didn't want to leave a bad memory of her to her friends and loved ones. Only one beautiful portrait of her was displayed. While Leonid's mom was telling the story of how Candy got killed, there were no emotions attached. Iste and I did not know how to react. Well, naturally our faces would look like we're screaming "Grabe yung pagkamatay nya!!" Our conversation with tita was so light that when Iste and I went home, we laughed our stomachs out agreeing with what the others have told us about Leonid's family. They really were in a festive mood. Not festive as in they were happy they lost a loved one. It was just too surprising to visitors whom may have readied their shoulders to cry on. Sa bagay, sabi naman nila, may taning na talaga yung tatay ni Leonid eh. Pero Candy was just there days ago. Now she's in a casket as well. We just realized and felt the agony of the tragedy after we got out.

Candy was pretty. She was 5'7 in height and was a complete head turner. She took up Eco in Lasalle and because her family was in Naga City, she had to live in a dorm. At 23, she was a loan officer in Metrobank and lived in her Condo unit just across the bank. Maybe they thought she was safe since her work place was just across were she lived. The guard could just watch her cross the street until she's safe again inside the other building. But then who would have thought her home was more dangerous than the streets outside?

Coming from the wake of her uncle (Leonid's dad), Candy's tita dropped her to the condo and even brought her safely to her unit. Before coming up, they noticed a group of drinking men who were lustfully looking at them as though they were naked. They didn't mind (marami namang lasenggong ganyan) so they went up. Hinatid din ni Candy ung mga tita nya sa baba, after that and persuading her titas (to just sleep with her upstairs) to no avail, she finally went up to her unit.

The police have already seized one suspect. He had deep scratches on his cheek and they believed he was one because Candy had long nails. Just proves she struggled so hard to get away from them. It was definitely an inside job. The family is even suspecting that the owner of the Condo was the one who raped her kasi type sya nito. A map stick was inserted to her organ. and as tita recalls, 5 inches ang narating nung stick. Tita was there when the object was removed. According to her there was even one more brush-like object inside after the stick was removed.

Candy was so beautiful. She was even fit to be a beauty queen but she never had a boyfriend. Tapos mga kriminal lang pala ang makakadevirginize sakanya. That's why everytime a girl visits her wake, her titas would always tell them, "O ingat kayo ha baka kayo ma-rape"

This is all I can recall, tagpi tagpi lang. But I have to say, I admire their family for keeping a light disposition. They really have to because if not, they wouldn't be in the right minds to file a case and make the criminals pay for what they did! And Candy would have hard time seeing the light.

Actually, the story was a bit hazy. All we now know is that life is short and is full of suprises. This day you may be happy. Tomorrow you may be dead. Please pray for Candy. We may not know her personally, but what happened to her may happen to us as well. So guys, always pray for your safety. Ask your guardian angel to guard you. Girls, just take care! Baka kayo ma rape...

This was my post in pex for a thread about Extra Challenge "Kasal-kasalan..." featuring Richard Gutierrez, Paolo Contis, Chynna Ortaleza and Nancy Castiliogne. I'm just reposting it here for posterity.

Paolo and Nancy at EXTRA CHALLENGE
Disclaimer: We are in a free country and I am just airing my opinion please don't hate me for it. Thank you.

What did the makers of the hit reality tv show extra challenge have in mind when they conceptualized it? Glam? Of course not. For a show showcasing celebrities' guts, endurance, and mind power, glamour is out of the question. Nowadays, the Philippine TV industry’s foundation has morphed from fantasy into reality and reality is not always what people want it to be. It is sometimes hard to live in reality but even harder to get real.

Get real Nancy!
Saying that losing a child is not reality, Nancy is definitely not yet ready to raise children. When she lost a kid, she obviously did not know what to do except of course bring this matter of urgency to the crew and complain. A person with maternal instinct would go all the way to seek the child. A person who doesn’t have it, doubts if that was really happening and will easily get tired and cry (not because of the loss, but because of stupidity). If the sibling of the lost kid did not tell them about the loss, I doubt if the couple would figure it out at all.

What do you expect??!?
A show is a show and business is business. Goals vary but all of it boil down to higher ratings. To say that a show is made to entertain people is hypocrisy. Of course for every venture there are expected returns. And Extra Challenge is achieving their expectations. When Paolo said he hoped they enjoyed the ratings, I almost fell from where I was sitting. Of course they did enjoy it! Especially that they had a participant like Mr. Paolo Contis. Thanks to him and his lack of common sense.

The other team
When the other team Richard and Chynna lost a child, what did they do? Simple. They looked for him. They may have had doubts on the crew’s innocence of his whereabouts, but the important thing there is that they looked. Although they were not completely aware whether it was reality or just a challenge, they had a reason to look for him and that is responsibility. They had every little bit of what an ideal Extra Challenge participant should have. Mind power, srength and endurance.

When Paolo and Nancy lost a child, what did they do? They looked for him at first alright. But then they were more concerned of themselves that they harassed the crew into telling them the truth so that after they knew that was just a challenge, they could just go to rest.

Why didn't they just look for the kid? I know they were concerned about the child. It might have been just a setup or have really happened. Either way, the proper thing to do is to Look.

A challenge for Pete’s sake is to be done and to be conquered. To complain is to prove your stupidity. It is even wiser to give up! They obviously did not have the comprehension to digest even the smallest detail of this concept. What were they there for anyway? Para magpa-cute? Oh we already know that!

I am not here taking the side of this other team. I also do not hate Paolo and Nancy. I just do not like the way they reacted.

Extra Challenge’s participants’ usual reaction to unusual happenings like this is to think all is just a setup. Just a setup or not, do you think the responses for each should be different? Whether it is a setup or not, viewers are still into the excitement and anticipation of how the participants react to these situations. I think that future contestants should react properly to each challenge given, perhaps whether to keep up or give up. In a show like Extra Challenge, charming us viewers rarely pleases us. It is the participants’ culture and education that amuses us and brings us to write up an opinion like this.

But one thing is for sure. Getting real has never been this cool!
Extra Challenge rocks!

Gusto ko ng ride!

Gusto kong magpatilapon... gusto ko nang lumaya mula sa apat na sulok ng kwarto na ito... gusto ko nang lumabas at magkatrabaho... pero wag muna ngayon

Elevator hopping...
over and over again

Went job hunting again, this time with my high school friend Bitch. We went to Unilver first with katbau, then sa coke (which we thought ay walking distance lang, dahil sabi ng guard "dyan lang yun lakarin nyo lang...") After walking forever, we reached Coca Cola and dropped off our resumes. Then we went to Makati na... hopefully may mag reply!! oh how i really wish...

Jonna Carlotta


My "activist" at iskolar ng bayan friend is going to live in New York! She's the one who's always complaining about how our country is full of shit and is committed to constantly interject our conversations with her casual recruitment schemes. She always tries to convert us to be an activist like her and rally to change the world! But then she's the only one who haven't registered for the upcoming biggie event - the elections. haha that's a huge slap for her! But then she's going abroad anyway so what's the use? She hates kapitalistas very much and honors them with words such as punyeta sila and tangina nila and she didn't like the idea of Pinoys going abroad just to avoid poverty. Ugh.. she really is a living contradiction! She used to be approachable in high school but now, everytime we talk to her we have to be careful not to mention words like business, capital, capitalist, gobyerno, and the likes.

Hai nako anyway, i love this girl to bits and im gonna miss her really! Hopefully she'll be the next one to hit it big in New York. I know she's gonna make us proud! Viva Santo Tomas!
