Save the Internet

Lets take a short pause from my rants and raves and discuss this thing I stumbled over the internet... first see the video...



I never knew such a thing even existed until now. I don't know how this would affect our third world country but by the looks of things... this seems bad. If those first-worlders look distressed because of this, I think I have reason to be worried. Internet cost could triple. And you just don't know how the internet affects the lives of every Juan Dela Cruz in this country.

Bank transactions are done over the internet. Power plants synchronize their outputs over the internet. Media circulates over the internet. Our enrollment, our grades, our curriculum, our schedules are processed over the internet. And if I heard right, doesn't the Philippines have the most Friendster user's in the world? What about my little blog! Crunchyroll! YouTube! Yahoo! OTshare! Kupalogs! Mapua Ownage!

So unless you lived under a stone for the past decade, you should see the importance of the internet in making our little lives a lot more meaningful. I don't know any way of helping solve this problem but I know a certain website who does.

Damn politicians, damn greedy companies. Its the same everywhere. Not only in our country. I can seem to lose the feeling of being in the control of those big, greedy, companies.

I twiddle my thumbs...

Floating Point

Heaven! Yeah. I take back what I said... being with "blockmate" 12 hours a day (7:30am-7:30pm) can still be a blast kahit may sumusundu na sa kanya after 730. Hehe... wala lang... yun lang... grrrr... gigil...

Ano pa ba? wala ako masabi ngayon eh... wala ako sa "creative hour" ko... (1-2am pa yun.) Post nalang ulit ako mamaya...

Reality Check

Holeh heck! Im starting to realize the negative consequences of my choice to rejoin my old "barkada" for next term.

Sure I need them, they're a great help when it comes to projects, assignments, study groups, and most other academic activities that could even include some "secretary work" like reminding me of deadlines and doing my homework. But if you've been a close reader of my blog, you must already know that life turned to hell when cupid struck me with a poison arrow. The rest is history, but yeah... I had to leave them for the sake of my sanity.

Six or so months later... time has healed most of the wounds and I was ready to be friends again. They were willing to accept me... miss na rin nila ako. Great, diba? Life has been good to me during my absence sa barkada. Most of my teachers were cool, kaya konte lang ang academic problems. I met a lot of new people, made new friends, and became closer to most of my old acquaintances. Adding more friends to my inventory would'nt hurt right? Especially when those friends were once really close to you. I could'nt be more mistaken.

I checked my friendster after a long absence and found it loaded with activity. Amidst all the clutter her message stuck out like a sore thumb. It was just a few harmless words, "ang pics natin sa MOA nandun kay mr chuchuchu." "Ok fine, so what I dont care... Sge nga click ko nga ang profile niya. Matagal ko na rin kasi hindi nabuksan yun. Recently ko lang ulit dinagdag sa friends list ko yun." That was when reality hit me.

A lot of things has happened to her during the past six months, the most surprising was that... basing on the comments of her friends, and her additude towards that person's account... she met someone. Big deal, right? I should not really care since I myself met a few special people during that time. But why am I struck with this overhelming pang of jealousy? Sabi ko pa nga nung una ko nakita ang new pics niya, ang pangit na niya dahil tumaba siya, umitim pa, ang gulo pa rin ng buhok.... yadda yadda yadda... but why do I still feel this way? I dont like her physically, and ayaw na ayaw ko rin ang attitude niya... pero why naiinggit ako?

I must be strong and look away. I wish I had a hand to hold right now.

***

Wala ka nga load! Yes! That's just the answer that I needed. Kala ko kasi kung ano na ang nangyari sayo. Wala lang... miss na kasi kita. Medyo sparse na ang times na meron tayong communication ngayon. Sana maayos na phone niyo. Sana I'll see you soon. Thanks for everything po. Sana you'll still be there next term. Dito lang ako always. ^_^

Pensive

pen·sive [pĂ©nssiv]adjective

Im supposed to write down a long, long blog article tonight because I've got a lot of things on my mind. I mean a lot, it's been so long since I last posted something. However, I got so engrossed in trying to download some "homebrew" or software for my PSP over this slothlike connection that I lost most of my zeal. Then again, this stupid connection is getting on my nerves so while the different forums and download sites load... I'll type away my rants and raves in another window... it's offpeak hours from 12am to 8am so internet is free... two thumbs up! yey!.

Today's not so bad. Woke up at the usual time. Around 11am... ^_^ Parents were away trying to find a highschool for my brother so we had to wait a while for lunch. Of course I had the option of zapping some hotdogs with the microwave again, but my parents usually bring home tastier goodies than those hotdogs so I decided against it. It was letchon manok this time so we had a hearty lunch. =).

The boybands were texting DOTA at 2pm but I didnt come. Me and bro were scheduled to play badminton that afternoon so I had to cancel on some of my "appointments." Besides, it has been almost a week since my last workout so my cheeks were starting to inflate from all the food I've been gobbling up. He beat me 3-0 but thats ok, I always win the second set but don't have enough stamina to beat him for the third. He had formal training anyway and won silver in the district meets. Im still better at painball. Whoohoo... FYI, badminton at City Sports costs only 50 pesos per head during off peal hours. And as long as there's a free, non-hourly basis court - you can play all you want.. even on the rubberized surfaces. Cool. :P.

Ok I admit it, I'm kinda obsessed with my PSP that I'm currently spending a lot of cash on it this summer. On the first week, I bought a crystal case for 500 pesos - that's to protect it from scratches and shock while I'm playing. To lessen the chances of me dropping my precious - I bought a wrist strap, which is more of a chain since its made of metal. Thats 70 pesos. So that I can play pirated games, I had it upgraded to version 3.30 OE-A'. That's an open edition firmware by dark alex for you tech heads. Since no one in Iloilo had the technology or knowhow (actually I had, but again, im an internet connection deprived individual) we had to send the unit to manila for two days. The "package" comes with four games for 2500. Amf! If only I had a DSL connection I could do it myself... tsktsktsk. Anways, my PSP is working fine and Im currently playing grand theft auto vice city stories. More recently after badminton practice, me wnd bro went strait to SM. My sister is practicing Hula dancing there so we met up with my parents. I had some cash at hand so again I was temted to buy another peripheral for this accursed unit. This time its a remote control for 380 pesos. This will enable me to play MP3s while my PSP is safely tucked away in my bag or something. I still have a lot of things on my list but those will have to wait. I need cash. Argh!

Ok, straight to the meaty stuff.

I feel so lost. I dont know what to do. Sometimes I feel like quitting on her. Erm... girls... yeah... its another issue about girls.... or a certain girl this time... "thee girl" ... .... or so I thought.

She's got so many special people in her life that it's getting hard to compete... to get attention... I wont expound on any of them but I can tell you this: my radar is picking up at least three blips.

Well, all is fair. I dont think I want to abandon ship yet, although I've had a few sleepless nights thinking about the idea.I hope everything will turn out to be ok. Sana nga wala lang talaga siyang load. T.T

As the song goes: To think by now I've learned, you play with fire and you get burned. But fire can be, oh so warm, and that's why I've returned...

Singing sad love songs, despising love flicks (yeah a lot of them were shown on the local channels this holy week), and hating most of everything aroung me. Argh, Im becoming a sentimental fool again, trying to view the world with fading rose tinted glasses... my proverbial circle of life is starting to complete another revolution. *sigh*

Preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.... I still have all ten fingers crossed..

..so help me God.
