ELECTRONIC SNAKES

-

In my last blog, I mentioned about a dead snake behind my office computer.  It happens to be that I have so many cables around it.  I thought of figuring out how I arrived with this messy predicament.  I have two dongles for two delicate software I am using and once in a while I am plugging them in and out at the back of the computer the endeavour which is too tedious consisting of leaning, squeezing and back aching thus arriving in a strategy of installing two long cables plugged at the back serving as the insertions of the two dongles that is reachable in front. I got two external hard drives which incidentally need cables: one serving as back up and working area for the modelling programme and the other is my personal where I keep my music that I listen to while working: we were told by the head of IT that I we should not use the our personal network drive for keeping mp3s – so there.  Right now, I am listening to the Christmas songs by Christina Perri.  The mouse is most of the time intertwined with the twirling cable of the phone which I won’t bother to pick up because I usually use the phone headset hanging at my right side of the big monitor – and so let them tangle for all I care – no wonder when I move the mouse, the phone also moves.  I have two mouse pads: one on top of the other.  I had replaced the old one with the blue one but I did not bother to remove the old one.  And alongside the phone is the Vanilla Dusting Sugar which I sprinkle with my coffee in the morning.  I am running out of business cards in the container or am I?  Maybe some of them are buried in some of those paper junks.  I usually hang my computer headset on my left side of the big monitor but at that moment he was bonding with other electronic snakes.  The box of crackers behind the monitor is my lunch – no wonder I am destructed.  ……………Where am I?  I have an electric multi-plug adapter at the side not because the office hasn’t installed sufficient plugs for my needs but because it is at the back of the computer not strategically located for my not-so-flexible body and daily I need to charge my cell and tablet and all sorts of batteries.  So there! How I arrived with so many hullabaloos in my desk is the one works for me.  As long as I am sitting with the office chair comfortably which put my forehead the same level with the top edge of the monitor (Health and Safety advice –to avoid nauseating) and I am doing my programming without much distractions to much needed maintenance, my coffee has not spilled, I am not running out of crackers and I can still listen to the music I am keen on, I have no objections.

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

UST Class 5 CE

-
What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
