Vintage and Ghosts

Nadiskubre ko ang Paponei’s Gift Shop kamakailan lang nung naghahanap ako ng mga vintage na anik-anik. Double thumbs-up para sa shop na ito. Ang cute-cute ng packaging at ng mga items.

Paponei

  • Tatlong Forest Ghost Dolls – Dr. Ghost, Fashion Wizard Boy at Sunlight Boy (maganda ‘tong collection o panregalo) at isang maliit na ubrang palawit sa cellphone.
  • Tatlong vintage necklaces – Big classic locket watch (yep nabubuksan), robot na ang daming pumapansin, saxophone na ang ganda-gandang gift ko kay Chi. Yung tatlong Eiffel Tower necklace freebies yun! Odibabongga?

Kyre + Sidekick

Kyre + Sidekick

Eto ang bagong sidekick ni Kyre (Acer Aspire kong Espren), isang laptop table gawa sa kahoy na tila binarnisan ng bahagya. Ang masasabi ko lang, ang ganda nito. I soooooooo love it! (with matching boses na kikay kunwari) Naiaadjust kung gano kataas posisyon ng laptop pati na rin yung mga paa niya. May patungan ng kung anu-ano sa gilid at may mini-tukador sa ilalim. Tsaka di nakakatakot na baka dumulas kasi hindi madulas kahit mukang madulas. Word of the day – “madulas”, napakaredundant.

Dahil impulsive ako, pagkakita ko palang nito sa Kimstore, nagpipindot na agad ako sa telepono ko para orderin ‘to. Nyaha. Atat nga e. Kaninang hapon dumating ung package, salamat kay Ms. Kim sa very smooth transaction. Paid in the morning, shipping the same day, on your hands the next day. Tipong ganyan.

Masaya ako sa nabili ko na ‘to. Promise.

Sinong iboboto ko?

Aaminin ko – dati wala akong pakialam sa gobyerno. Wala akong pakialam kung sino ang namumuno. Masarap ang buhay ko e. Mabuti ang mga magulang ko. Hindi ko dama ang kahirapan na mabuhay dito. Oo nakakainis ako. Kahit ako naiinis sa sarili ko. Di ko alintana ang paghihirap ng ibang mga tao. Wala akong pakialam sa mga nababasa sa dyaryo at napapanuod sa telebisyon. Pakiramdam ko lahat yun ay kwentong barbero.

Nagbago ang lahat ng magsimula akong kumayod para sa sarili ko. Ang laking pera ang napupunta sa tax ko. Pinaghihirapan ko ang lahat na yun pero di ko alam kung saan patungo. Sabi nila sa bulsa marahil ng mga nagdadamit disente pero ang totoo ay mga baboy. Nabuksan ang mga mata ko sa totoong mundo. Napanuod ko ang sari-saring kahayupan ng mga tao. Walang awang pagpatay sa kapwa. Marahas. Madugo. Madumi. Maduming madumi. Makasalanan ang budhi.

Marami ng panahon ang lumipas. Dalawampung taon simula ng isilang ako. Tila walang pagbabago. Parami ng parami ang nagrereklamo. Bulok kasi ang sistema sa bayan ko. Bulok ang mga pinuno, palala ng palala ang sitwasyon. Kapag bulok ang pinuno maraming bulok na bunga rin ang dulot nito.

Mag-eeleksyon na. Boboto ako dahil may karapatan ako. Walang pag-aalinlangan kong idedeklara na ang iboboto ko ay si Bro. Eddie Villanueva. Own preference. Own decision na paninindigan ko. Di ko ibebenta ang boto ko kung kani-kanino para sa kakarampot na halaga na pagdudusahan ko sa mahabang panahon. Ayoko ng lesser evil. Ang gusto kong pinuno ay righteous. Yung tipong makakapagpabago ng mindset ng mga Pilipino, hindi sa sarili niyang kakayahan kundi sa kakayahan na pinagkakaloob ng Diyos.

Politicians – people who care for the nation and for the welfare of the people. Nag-aalala ako para sa bayan ko. Sa makatuwid isa akong politiko? Hehe. Ikaw rin ba? Di ko hahayaan na ipaubaya ko ang kinabukasan ko at ng pamilya ko balang araw sa mga baboy na nagpapanggap na politiko.

Bare Me Natural

Note: I’ll just share these good products I just discovered.

It’s been two or three weeks when I received my Barenaturals package which consists of the following main items:

  • Emu oil Skin Perfecting Soaps (2 Kabuki Extract and 2 No-Breakout-To-Makeup)
  • 50ml Emu oil (infused with Kabuki Extracts which I had for free, yay)
  • 50ml Purederm BB Cream
  • Power Mineral Lipstick
  • Natural Pink Lip and Nipple Gel (Hoho)
  • Seaweed Slimming Oil and Cocktail Soap for mother

I also received a generous amount of freebies such as 2 5ml jars of BB cream, sample blushes (with “s” as in maaaany), sample foundation, and sample soaps).

I read somewhere about the benefits of using emu oil and after some research, I landed on her site. I had problems with dry skin, calluses and hand/foot blisters, back and wrist pains, large veins and bedbug bites which I got on my former boarding house. Glad to find a local seller of such emu oils.

I actually replaced the moisturizer I’m using with emu oil because it’s honestly a remedy to my very dry skin problem. It is easily absorbed by skin which cleared my negative thoughts on using oil products on my face. I also used it on my feet blisters which appears very ugly and I’m very happy because it lightened now (thanks to the Kabuki extract mix I think). I’m not sure about the effects on my back and wrist pains but I hope it would work on me. I’ve been complaining about this since I started working. Regarding my bedbug bites, it lightened a bit but I also hope it would completely fade in time.

The skin perfecting soaps are very cute and smells soooo good. I love nice smelling products especially on hair care. I love these soaps because it doesn’t dry-out my skin even if it has whitening components.

The natural lip and nipple gel is supposed to be a secret but I just can’t hide it. I love it’s effect on my lips. Made it very supple and well moisturized. Chi actually said my lips lightened. Regarding the mineral lipstick, I love the menthol effect and the color just blends well on my skin. Hehe. I want to try the other shades too.

I thought Purederm BB Cream would be somewhat like a foundation but gladly it’s just sheer and blended well on my skin as what the seller stated on her site. I feel protected with its SPF 30.

I honestly love BN products, even the makeup freebies. They are just lovely and worth blogging. It enhances what you have without harsh chemicals found on almost all over-the-counter products. Next time I would be trying their makeup, I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt my skin since they are all minerals.

myBots

Something to ponder:

How I hate my site to be “spammed” or populated by bots. On the other hand, my work includes creation of web bots.

It’s just annoyance for my blog and satisfaction for my senses.

Note: Just to clear things, the bots I’m creating are not used for spamming.

Aligaga

“Nasa huli ang pagsisisi.”

Sobrang totoo ang kasabihan na yan. Itanong mo pa sa lolo ko.

Hinding-hindi ko malilimutan ng traydurin ako ng Microsoft Visual Source Safe. Pauwi na sana ako, ilalagak ko ang natapos kong update sa isa sa mga ginagawa kong program at tsaka ko gagawing isang executable file upang mapakinabangan na ng mga makikinabang (sana meron). Maayos ang takbo ng lahat, uuwi akong may ngiti sa mga labi – sabi ko sa sarili ko. Ngunit sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, lumitaw ang tila ganitong mensahe sa screen:

There is a document with the same name under the same project. Do you wish to get latest the file from Source Safe? (Hindi sakto, pero malapit)

Aminado akong aligaga ako at atat ng umuwi. Bigla kong napindot ang “YES” button ng walang pagdadalawang isip.

Tsaka ko nalang napagtanto na pinatungan na ng lumang bersyon ang gawa kong bago. Sa madali at nakakabwisit na sabi – NAWALA ANG PINAGHIRAPAN KO!

Leksyon: Wag atat Gean. Sinong tanga ngayon? Wag ka manisi, hindi kasalanan ng VSS ‘yon. Stupid.

Binary

Tadaaa! I finally have the guts (and money) to buy a 1-terabyte external hard drive. I’m just so happy, I can’t hide it. LOL. I named him Binary since I bought it today – 011010 – binary numeral system, eh? Geek. So Binary is a My Book Essential Edition from Western Digital. This would be very useful since I have around 3GB left capacity on my HD, I can store a lotsa photos, tons tons of music and series (yay), movies, except.. uhm porn? Yeah, me no likey.

Now, ME = BROKE :D

Binary

This not exactly Binary, but it looks like him :)

OK gotta leave now. Backup mode.

Awesome 2010 Awaits!

Bagong taon, bagong pag-iisip. Simulan ang taon ng tama, wala ng sesyon ng Mamam para sa akin. Maglilinis ako ng katawan, kaluluwa at espiritu. Hehe. Matututo na akong magtipid at mag-ipon, habang bata pa ako at nakakapagtrabaho. Lagi na akong maglilinis ng kwarto (Wish ko lang!). Pag-iisipan ko muna bago ako bumili ng bagong gadget. Less impulsiveness, ika nga. Magiging masaya ako. Palagi. At mamahalin ko ang lahat ng meron ako.

Happy 2010 and Happy 3rd Chi Day!

3rd Chi Day

Oo Bagong Taon nung maging kami. :P

SELECT Query I

Slow:

SELECT a.main_id, a.source_id, a.docnum, concat(b.imagepath,a.filename) as image, a.location_id, a.valid, b.rider  FROM main a,  source b
WHERE a.main_id IN (SELECT main_id
FROM batch_d1
WHERE batch_id=?lnBatch) and a.source_id=b.source_id

Way Fast:

SELECT a.main_id, a.source_id, a.docnum, concat(b.imagepath,a.filename) as image,
a.location_id, a.valid, b.rider
FROM main a, source b, batch_d1 c
WHERE a.main_id=c.main_id  and a.source_id=b.source_id and c.batch_id=?lnBatch
