A Message From Your Dog…

August 31, 2006

Ten Peeves That Your Dog Has About You

1. Blaming your farts (gas) on me… not funny… not funny at all!!!

2. Yelling at me for barking.. I’M A FRIGGIN’ DOG, YOU IDIOT!

3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose… stop it!

5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you’re not home.

6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo hoooooooo! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

7. Taking me to the vet for “the big snip”, then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!

8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven’t quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

9.Dog sweaters. Hello??? Haven’t you noticed the fur?

10. Acting disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth. You’re just jealous.

Now lay off me on some of these things! We both know who’s boss here! You don’t see me picking up your poop do you???

some dreams just never come true

August 29, 2006

 

 

 

when i was a kid, i always dream of becoming a Quarterback. I love watching NFL.
but with a very petite sickly frame that i have, who would want me to be in a national team? (just disregard the fact they don’t pick girls in the team)

 i doubt if they’d ask me to be a benchwarmer. I might get crushed (literally) if i’m seated with the big guys.

 

now, therewith to be content playing quarterback in PS2 games. that  for sure wont hurt and break me to pieces.

 

 

 

 

who’s my favorite team, you asked? it’s New York Giants!

Amazingly Simple Home Remedies

August 26, 2006

1. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. If you are choking on an ice cube, don’t panic! Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, after which you’ll be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget all about that toothache.

8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only need two tools - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape.

9. Remember: everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

 

If you think that education is expensive, try ignorance.

My Funny Name

August 25, 2006

Do you love your name?

Unfortunately, my name starts with Roda and ends with May.
so it’s Roda May. Believe me, i was born in November  one cold Tuesday night. People always think I was born in May. I presume I was conceived on a steamy February night ( could be a pre-valentine affair- a baby making month for most couples).

Now, back to the question; Do you love your name? If you ask me that then i tell you that I DIDN’T in all caps. Why? Because,

One: They changed my name- it  ’sposed to be Princess Green ( i don’t like the Princess name either, though..but life was brutal and i have Princess as my nick back at home)

Second, Roda is a combo  of my mom and dad’s name ( eeewwestttt!)

Third point: People always say RODA sounds funny. and to complement with  them, I always reply “Yeah, RODA.. it’s soooo BAYOT! (gay)” (like RODArick Paulate!). and then they reply “EXACTLY!”

 

I hated it when somebody calls my name completely with no breaks. It’s like honking a very loud horn into my ears.

there’s one time, a guy called me RODA MAY and i was soo pissed that I couldn’t help myself but ask him “why do you have to call my name completely?” you see, It doesn’t sound good and I don’t like it, so stop calling me that.

then he replied “Why? It sounds good to me. It’s the most beautiful name I know. It suits you just right. It’s so beautiful, just like you.

No, don’t you ever think that i blushed when that guy said those to me. I just smiled. When he said my name was beautiful just like me, i didn’t think he was associating it with how i look. I know it was something else. That hit me. I think he was right. There’s something in a name that makes a person beautiful no matter how ugly it sounds like.

 

PS. that guy’s name is Jaan.  I think he’s got one beautiful name, too. How about you?

I didn’t cry.

August 21, 2006

i was so pissed last night cos there was a city wide power outage. i was planning to review for today’s Tier2 Certification but i couldn’t cos i couldn’t use my PC. all my reviewers were inside my thumbdrive. my preparation for the test was useless.
So i came in at work just in time and was nervous for the upcoming test. i saw “Chris Girl” who is my amazing NOC (network operation center engineer) and Jonana, my Team Leader. I asked them some possible questions and Infrastructure diagrams.

so then came the dreaded test. Unfortunately, we had an online test composed of Cisco stuffs that i took while i was in college and i could barely remember everything or how it was gonna be solved. I clearly have no clue but to rely on mere vague memory and faith to God. i got 19 out of 30. tsk tsk tsk..

then, Our Mighty Tony ‘oi’( see his picture down on 11 entries backwards) asked us to draw a diagram of a network on a meeting room with a switch inside the room and a diagram of an access point connected to a dsl modem down to the server room.

if you ask me, was it tough? mighty YES!!! ( for the fact that i didn’t study these infrastructure diagrams)

so my heart pumped like crazy. almost ready to explode…

I only cry when i’m mad, my dog dies, when i hear too sad stories,see too sad looking old folks and too sad looking child begging on the streets..But never on FAILING…

well, i almost did knowing that i will not pass the exam.

I DID NOT CRY.

tony stepped in and said Roda ‘oi’

“You passed, yey!”

ha! so there’s no reason to cry then. heh.

 

Salamat Lord!
thank you Chrissy.
thank you Jonana
thank you Nikko ( for the undying support. lol)
and to my everything, Jaan d baktin.

A zillion thanks to you all.

and to Tony for calling my name with an ‘oi’ on it.

August 18, 2006

the ironies of philosophy..

August 13, 2006

 

If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

He who hesitates is probably right.

Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

No one is listening until you make a mistake.

Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.

The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.

Two wrongs are only the beginning.

You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive. (The corollary is: You never learn to pray until your kids learn to drive!)

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.

Why Did the Chicken cross the Road? — Part 2

M.C.Escher: That depends on which plane of reality the chicken was on at the time.

George Orwell: Because the government had fooled him into thinking that he was crossing the road of his own free will, when he was really only serving their interests.

Colonel Sanders: I missed one?

Plato: For the greater good.

Aristotle: To actualize its potential.

Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.

Skinner: Because the external influences, which had pervaded its sensorium from birth, had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own freewill.

Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?

The Sphinx: You tell me.

Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken nature.

Emily Dickenson: Because it could not stop for death.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn’t cross the road; it transcended it.

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

Saddam Hussein #1: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

Saddam Hussein #2: It is the Mother of all Chickens.

Joseph Stalin: I don’t care. Catch it. I need its eggs to make my omelet.

Dr. Seuss: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes the chicken crossed the road, but why he crossed, I’ve not been told!

OJ Simpson: It didn’t. I was playing golf with it at the time.

how bizarre!

August 10, 2006

 

there are two people who strikingly unconventional and farfetched in manner asked me these questions:

Tara Aine- ( looked so enthused) Are you Narcissist, too?

My uncle Eddie -  Did you have a nose job? Seriously?

Me-  (looked so puzzled) WHAT???

i never thought my mental development will stop for 5 seconds when they asked me those.

sup? …not much here…

August 7, 2006

Extra Extra! i won the lottery! No kidding. .. too good to be true.but yes! i got this email that i won the lottery. i should be shouting for joy, but i deleted it. I knew it was just crap.  these nigerian scammers are spamming my inbox with crazy fortune crap!
such mosquito heads don’t plan and think what they are doing. who in the world could win a lottery without even purchasing a lottery ticket!? since they are scamming bigtime, they should have atleast used a public proxy server to protect their identity sending those scam emails. (ooops! i’m giving internet scammers an idea here.) them bozos must be grilled!

meanwhile…
..i’m on the verge of going crazy deciding what/who i want to be. i have 3 choices
1. to be the next Britney Spears
2. to be the next Bill Gates
3. to be the next Paris Hilton

i’m having a hard time choosing. Really. I want to be a Certified Cisco Network Administrator and 3D animator too. oh, now that makes it 5 choices already.

I bought this Herbal Tea from Korea called JIGUJA  and i felt like Popeye getting strong with large muscles bumping after eating Spinach( the drink to drink IF you drink. Party hard. Wake up Fresher <– that was literally written on the can’s label ). I know i’m writing crazy. blame it to JIGUJA!

oh! i googled jiguja and walaah!!  http://www.jigujadrink.com/

PETER PAUL JUDAS! i drank an anti hangover drink!

 

pahabol: binabati ko nga pala si madam auring at tita vicky belo sa kanilang kaarawan next year at Happy 2nd Year Anniversary din bukas sa walang kakupas kupas na super baktin nang buhay ko- Jaan. I love you daw. sabi ko =)

just because…

August 3, 2006

I don’t bargain.
I don’t agree most of the time.
I don’t arbitrate
I don’t concede with everything.
I don’t conciliate
I don’t go fifty-fifty
I don’t make concession
I don’t negotiate
I don’t settle (for less)
I don’t need to strike balance when i don’t have the pendulum with me.
I don’t trade off.
It doesn’t mean couldn’t win any battle today. Why bother? I have so much else going on, I have no time for conflict. I don’t invite drama into my life just because i’m bored.
then i heard myself talking again:
“You’ve got some tests coming up that will respond better to smooth talking than brute force. Try out that million-dollar smile and see how far it takes you.
Opposing forces have caught you in the middle of their struggle and you’ll have to tire yourself out getting free of them. After it’s all over, you’ll sleep like a baby. the monster will self destruct and will eventually hang itself “
ahhh…I smell rotten flesh.
