Good morning, Inglourius Basterds!

Sleep tight netizens [if you're sleeping]. See you in the morning! I have work tonight.

Relief goods acquired. Secured until friday, 11am. Yosh!

Shower, then will leave to pick up relief goods after. :3

I've come to accept the changes in Facebook. Looking back to when they first introduced the News Feed, people didn't like that, either.

I might think of investing in a new laptop if only for battery life. I feel so shortlived on 1.5hrs. Lol.

Just cleared facebook of all non-friends, celebrities, and people i've never brushed shoulders with, ever. Feels nice!

One week on Windows7. Still happy about it. =)

It's official. A lot of people detest the new Facebook update.

I'll Be More Prepared Next Time, Cebu.

So I spent 5 days in Cebu. Nothing much to show and tell because Jade and I hardly went anywhere. We would have visited Bohol if only we had the dough. But since funds were limited, it was malls and foodtrip for us. Stated below are the highlights...

Day one was Lemon Grass. Spicy Beef Soup and an order of Roasted Pork. The Bagoong Rice wasn't bad, too. When you're there, also try their Spring Rolls.

Day two, Gerry's Grill. Met up with my grandma, she picked the place. Ordered Beef Karekare, Sizzling Squid, Sinigang na Hipon, and Bicol Express [which my lola thought was ok for a Bicol Express not in Bicol]. Before that, breakfast at Chicken Butterfly [eat-with-your-hands-style, serving fried chicken and ngohiong].

Day three, it was raining. Had dangsilog for breakfast before heading to BTC to buy groceries and deciding to stay home and watch movies.

Day four, breakfast buffet at I.T. Park's Tara's Cafe for a measly Php170. Goddamn, more dinuguan and puto PLEASE! Also worth mentioning is the Jollibee in the same area. I'd highly recommend eating there if and only if Bubbles is your cashier. He's a friendly cashier who gives a nice spin to the otherwise mundane process of ordering your fastfood meals. Here's how ours went:

B: HELLO! And WELCOME to JOLLIBEE! Can I take your order?
Us: One Extra Large Fries, please. And extra mayo.
B: That's it?
Us: Uh, yeah...
B: WHY?!
Us: Uh.
B: Ok, your total is 75 pesos.
[we reach for the money and hand it over]
B: Aaa~nd I received money from your lucky wallet!

Yeah. Worth the fries. Lol.

Day five, slept in. Had a quick lunch at Shakey's [because we haven't had Shakey's in ages], and waited out the hours at Seattle's Best [for free wifi].

Then, I had to go. =( Next time I'm staying at Cebu for a week, I'd better have money. Demmit, we missed going to the beach, for crying out loud!

I would like to commend Microsoft for Win7. Driver installation problems aside, it's way faster than running Vista on this machine. <3

Finally got this damned SUN broadband modem to work. Had little help from their TSR, though... but they didn't offer the fix I discovered.

Bye Cebu. Bye Jade. See you when I see you. Being indefinite sucks so bad... =(

I want Manuel Abrera's "12" graphic novel. Tangkilikin ang sariling atin. =)

I wish hugs and kisses could be bottled. I don't care if I go over the check-in limit.

5 more hours and I'll be off to reality again. It's sad when you think about it, actually...

I would like to apologize to all netizens using the internet in this cafe... I'm downloading hell. xD

So far, only my version of Alcohol120% doesn't run on Win7... everything else is peachy. =) Bye, Vista!

I'm loving Win7 :-D

Ang init talaga sa Cebu. =) But I'm smiling because I'm here with Jade. =)

Checking in from sunny Cebu. =D

Checkin in fr0m the airp0rt. No sun yet. >:(

Sun still hasn't restored internet. Ang bilis putulin, kay tagal ibalik. Hays.

SUN cut my broadband. I think. I'll drop by a store later to cough up money.

Goodnight netizens. Sleep now, straight to work, won't see you until the morning.

B.E.P.'s lyric-repetitive song is playing. It's catchy, but after the 100th repeat of "good night" it gets tiring.

Hm. It seems like the cooling fan on my laptop's not spinning. I can't hear it, I can't feel the exhaust blowing. Uh-oh.

Checking in from Krispy Kreme, Robinson's Galleria, Ortigas. Anyone in the area? Lol.

Will take a shower and move to the business district... de-netting now.

TSR agents work the same way as doctors. Don't lie to us, or we won't get your problem fixed.

Blackout... damn. Now I have to leave earlier.

I need to brush off the dust on my writing skills. I've been microblogging for so long, I think I forgot how to write a decent blog. Gomen.

---

Admittedly, there was a time when I tried using alt-caps in almost everything I type down on the web [and text messages]. I thought it was cute. I thought of jumping on the bandwagon and rolling down the path of looking adorable to the reader. I tried it on for size and lasted for maybe a week [or two]. My MySpace was the only reminder of that failed era, and I had the mind to alter the profile page to "normal" when I thought of logging in after some years.

I stopped because I felt ridiculous. I stopped because my pinkies were getting tired of hitting the shift key alternately with every keystroke. I stopped because it didn't look cute to me anymore. I stopped because I didn't want future web archive researchers to pull up my pages and see some unholy method of sending a message across. I stopped because back then I was also using the shorthand messaging system [SMS]. hW wUd U LyK 2 b RidiNg tHs s0rT f tXt w3n 8s aN unG0dLy tYm F d DaY? [reading, not riding]

I stopped the alternating caps, but still I continued with the shorthand system, nonstandard as it was. There was a very good reason why me and a lot of Filipinos used that: messaging was limited to 160 chars/peso. You'd want to cram as much information in one block as not to waste the precious peso. I stopped when UNLITxt was born. Sure, my thumbs were doing twice the normal amount of keypressing in a message but at least my words were not truncated to the point of misunderstanding. I can't count the number of times someone got mad at me because they misread my message.

The problem there was I was so used to that method. One sleepy night, I was jolted awake while proofreading an essay I wrote. Gods only know why a huge bulk of the essay was written using shorthand. I could understand it because it was my shorthand style, but going through the whole thing I could see where major miscommunication would have happened. And, clearly, a failing mark on that particular paper. I swore off shorthand then and there. LOL.

Speaking of LOL, nowadays, acronyms are booming. I was a mere child when I typed my first "lol" on mIRC. Fast forward to today, there seems to be an acronym for every emotion people have. OMG, LOL, ROFL, WTF, FTW, BBQ, FML, MLIA, TTYL, IDK, BFF, GTFO!, the list goes on forever. At least these letters are standardized by groups that collate every acronym typed on the Internet. And every now and then, a new acronym pops up and I'd have to search it on google to see the expanded form. It's not bad, but it's prone to abuse. So don't abuse the acronyms kplsthx.

What really pisses me off though, are these two niches on Filipino/Filipina social networking site users that first emerged from the bowels of Friendster. That niche crept slowly into SMS and eventually found their way into other booming social networking sites. I joined Facebook to escape the idiocy that crept into relatively clean Multiply, but alas... they're already here. These two niches are best explained by the following:

Friendster x Facebook

and this little example of the "unholy method of sending a message across" I mentioned earlier

I tried opening that girl's FB account but it was private. I don't want to imagine how her wall looks like.

Please, for the love of all things grammatically, spelling-ly, punctuational-ly, and CAPtuational-ly correct; DON'T BE LIKE THESE GUYS. [Yeah, there are no words for most of them.] And while you're trying not to be like them, what do you think about them?

I smell fried luncheon meat wafting from the neighbor's kitchen. I'm hungry.

Bagyo, bagyo, go away. I have to visit Cebu on Sunday.

I'm back! With a bowl of macaroni. Nyuk.

Out to grab a bite. Haven't had a real breakfast during breakfast time in quite a while now.

Why, good morning GMT+8!!!

I am, for some odd reason, craving at this very moment for hot rice, pork and beans, and boiled quail eggs. My childhood comfort food.

It's REGARDLESS; not IRREGARDLESS. Nail that into every recess of your brain so the next time you try to say it to sound smart, you don't.
