sounds like heaven
if ever a need arises for a well earned reward I really want to buy the Creative Audigy2 ZS Notebook for myself.
It's a bad ass PCMCIA soundcard that I would greatly benefit in because I can now again plug my 5.1 speaker, the Logitech Z-640 (pictured above). Note: 5.1 Speakers requires 3 audio input ports to work and since laptops only have 1 audio input you could do the math.
Now if ever I did buy the Audigy2 ZS Notebook for myself then a THX certified speaker would be my next target. Now that would really heighten my entertainment system. Case in point: Logitech Z-5500... drool grabe... drool!!!
basic memories
I don't have anything to post so the geek inside me will just share some info about computer memories.
Tis a good read for the geek inside you.

oh my sungay!
habang ako ay nakasakay ng fx papunta ng office ako'y matahimik na nagmumuni muni habang nakatingin sa labas ng bigla ko namataan ang isang kalabaw sa loob ng isang truck.Duon napunta ang focus ng aking pagmumuni muni, habang tinitignan ko yung kalabaw, napansin ko ang mahahaba nyan sungay at naalala ko rin ang kanyang pinsan na toro.
Ginagamit ng toro ang kanyang sungay pansuwag para pandepensa nya sa mga masasamang loob.
E paano naman ang kalabaw? pabaliktad ang sungay nya? mas una tatama malamang lamang ang nuo nya kesa sa sungay... tsk
hindi ko na alam kung saan talaga nya ginagamit ang sungay nya. Pwede na sana pampabilis ng takbo dahil magiging less ang air resistance, ngunit hindi naman sya ganun kabilis tumakbo in the first place... tsk tsk...

Kompanyouting
I was so excited to go to my very first company outing held at Verde Islands in Batangas, after all this will be my 3rd, yep only 3rd, time to go to the beach and have some fun under the sun.
yung happy foot ko lang yung nagfufun under the sun... the rest under the shade na.We had some team oriented contest which started off with a cheering competition. So my team practiced for about 1.5hrs and maybe because we were all exhausted from the trip to the island or the heat of the sun or the weeks work or... uhmmm.. i'm out of excuses... hehehehe.. so because of unknown reasons our cheer sounded more like a chant taken from a Gregorian chant CD backmasked then recomposed with a 32bit bitrate. In layman's term we made it 5th in a 5 team competition.
After the chant thingie we did a human bingo wherein if you were the first to answer correctly in the game expect to sit your ass off for the rest of the game.... hehehehehehe.. my part here is to peel of butong pakwan with my teeth and the seed must remain unscathed. I blame my teeth for being too sharp for this event. Sad to say, I never had the chance to sit my ass off in the heat of the summer sun just like the rest of my team mates.
mwehehehehehe...
Next follows a sort of amazing race game wherein we ran to and fro the island to our exhaustion. We were supposedly second place but due to technicalities we were awarded first! Hurrah for us! So overall we were last... wakokokokoko... and we couldn't have been more happier. ^____^
dito ka na sa Sumanpagkatapos ng grabe sa nakakapagod na mga laro naisipan ko na mahiga sa silong ng aming nirentahang kubo dahil mayroon nakasabit na hammock para sa isang hamak na katulad ko. Mas sumarap ang simoy ng hangin nuong dumating ang isang taong itago na lang natin sa pangalang muning. Tinamad na kami magpahinga dahil sinipag na kami ni itago nalang natin sa pangalang muning na kumain. Sa kasamaang palad medyo nahuli ang dating namin kaya kumain na lang kami ng pasta na kailangan ata samahan ng tubig alat para magkalasa man lang. Ngayon lang ako kumain ng pasta na mabagal bago ko naubos... (basahin ulit... nagjoke ako... wakokoko)
mwehehehehehe...
pagkatapos ay nagswimming na kami sa swimming pool... ang only highlight lang dito ay lumutang na rin ako sa wakas...
after the dip we had several shots of fundador and then went to sleep.
mwehehehehehe...
bet some of you know the reason behind au's smug... wakokokokothe following morning or to be more precise, after 4hrs, I woke up with no hang-over... the money in teh brandy was well worth it... after eating breakfast and a little rest we went banana boating. The experience made me realize that I really need to learn how to swim. FYI I didn't drown or anything but I was moving uber slowly... huhuhuhu... so much for my penguin feet.
mwehehehehehe...
mwehehehehe
mwehehehehehe...
mweheheheheIf you've noticed, I don't have much photos in this post. I don't know why.... hehehehehe... but I will sure make up for it in the next events to come...
hulaan kung nasaan ako?
I'm keeping a low profile.

bit in
every bit in the byte puts a simmer in the spice
and every bit in the boolean adds more to the fun
but tis still not good cause bit in is bit in still.

the penguin returns
It's been a long time since my last post because I don't want my posts to overlap and I still don't know how I will write my adventure or rather misadventure in my trip going back home from tucson. Well I guess I need to start somewhere, so here goes...
the reason
I was notified that I need to go back home immediately because my I-94 card expired, it's the one where the immigration puts up to when you could stay in their country. At first I didn't know what to think because I had lots of plans in my mind (especially the one where I start doing exercises again to lose weight... darn chocolates... darn snickers...) to do this April but after contemplating and then some more contemplating I realized that it would be better to leave than to stay and risk myself being blocklisted in the states. So after two days I was as good as gone.
I've been to Las Vegas!!!
Airport nga lang
the flight from Tucson to Vegas was pretty much uneventfully I just read a book till we landed to Vegas. Because my next connecting flight to San Francisco would be more than five hours I was required to check-in again my luggages. So After getting my luggages from the whatchamacallit luggage drop-off point I was struck dumb on where to check out my luggages, btw they are both around 45-50lbs each plus 17-19lbs of hand carry bags, and lessen my load. So I was standing for around 20mins til I decided that I really should get going. I asked the info boot h on where the check-in counters are and then needed to lug around my luggage across a street and I really could feel that I was way out of shape.
After waiting in a long line I was informed that I can't check-in my bags for another 1hour, so I just sat on some corner near the counter so I could easily go back there. I tried reading but wasn't able to concentrate that much because I heard some grumbling sound in my midsection which went on till I was able to check-in my luggages.. wheeew...
rerealization
is there such a word?
I was off to tour myself inside the Vegas airport and buy some snacks in the process. I bought a 1L bottle of water instead of the 500mL one because I know I would be needing a lot of fluids while strolling around and a chicken bacon wrap and also Allan's Dr. Pepper request. After eating and looking around for possible pasalubongs and found none or rather realized I really am kuripot so I just decided to go to the waiting lounge of the gate I was assigned to.
Kapkapan blues and the case of the missing Dr.
Before I could enter the lounge area I was entitled a free body inspection because I don't look american enough... este.. I don't look american, period. So after the routinary body inspection one of them asked why I had two laptops in which I promptly replied that the first one is for business and the other one for pleasure.
Moving on to find the right seat where I could waste around 4hours I realized that I was missing a plastic bag with Allan's request of Dr. Pepper and my 1Liter bottled water. So I concentrated and a series of forced flashbacks went into my head. I left the plastic bag inside the CR just before entering the gate for inspection. So I guess I need to say goodbye to my boomerang pasalubong from Allan.. huhuhuhuhu... T_T
to Sunny Californyaaay kapagod
So after some reading and a little shut eye and some reading still I was now in a plane to California airport. Thank God I don't need to carry my luggages anymore because it would go straight to my plane to Manila. All I need to do now is to carry my 2 hand carry (some pun intended) and myself to the ticketing counter for some verification stuffs. Let's just say that my supposed short walk to the counter went into a full tour around the airport which I could say was roughly more than an hour because I was like carrying heavy loads around 17-19lbs each. All of this happened because I went into a long turn. What was supposed to be a simple left-right turn from the entry gate became a series of left-left-right-right-up-down-up-down-and-i-don't-really-remember-turns.
because of that series of unfortunate turns I had little energy left to roam around the airport so instead I tried to wardrive myself for a wifi hotspot which wasn't successful because no free wifi could be found. I was planning to chat my way through the hours but again my plans went fruitless.
mga kababayan ko at ang paguwi sa bayan ko
as i was one of the early birds for the Philippine bound flight I saw little by little that almost all of my travelmates, or whatever you call them, are Filipinos. I also saw a child version of her and the semblance was so uncanny... naaliw lang ako... I would have took her picture to post it here but I don't want to risk them thinking that I'm a perv or pido or something... hehehehhee...
inside the plane I again unfortunately was seated in a chair with problematic A/V system. Last time on my flight to Tucson I had a defective LCD and this time around ,so destiny could balance things up, I had a defective control panel leading to no sound in my headphones. Arrrgh!!
So I just finished reading all the remaining stories in the book and then had small chats with a nun that had 2 divorces and another balikbayan who starts his sentence with 'hey men' or 'ye men' or 'men'.
Home at last
So after 30hours of travel I finally made it home around 4:30 in the morning. I really could feel that I'm already in the Philippines because I was sweating like a pig the moment the plane entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility. bwehehehhe
Anways, everything went well in the end and then I had a very wonderful evening...

homeward bound
a post of gratitude to our dear Lord who has given me this wonderful opportunity to go out of the country. Truly I thank God for all the things He has done for me this past few months. A lot of my long term goals became short term goals in just the span of three months. (San ka pa!)
But beyond the material blessings He has given me the right experience and also the chance to prove to myself that I do have the capacity to work outside my mother country. Who knows where I would be next? God does.
Truly, God answer prayers.
