Last Thursday, I attended my friends’ party. THere was a girl that I already knew this girl was also invited. Actually it’s one of the reason why I wouldn’t want to miss the said party.
Well, it was cool, lots of beers and chit-chats. But one thing I’ll never forget, that I had a great time with this girl. She’s simple but elegant. Matured and fun to be with.
But too bad she has a boyfriend. However, I’m persistent. I wanna be closer to her… Have a deep friendship, that is.
Now, I’m enjoying my life. I found new reasons to enjoy everything that life can give. At least I feel I’m real, and not being handicapped and contained by work and pressures that it brings.
Wish me luck in this journey!!!

I’ve been focusing on my career these past few years. No time to chat, to moderate my sites, to do everything that I usually do when free time. Stress from work, from heavy traffic, and pressures in life.
Now I’m bringing it in. Making ways not to be different from the past. I have to enjoy life and not to be suppressed. Why should I be suppressed huh?
This is me and I am me!
So what about work? You work because you need it? Because you need to earn money? Work like a rat? No way!
Work as like a hobby, something that interests you. Not being like prisoner…
Just for an update, I’m trying to know more about a girl. This girl is tall and has great personality. A perfect package, a perfect girl. How I wish that I can be with her…

A sign is an entity that indicates (represents) another entity to an agent (a human, animal or robot) for some purpose. It enters as a correlative in the relation of signification and significance (meaning for constructs) causing something else to come to the mind as its effects. According to the classic views of Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas, ’signification is a relationship between two sorts of things, which are signs and the kinds of things they signify’. To express a significance, the signs may both point out and stand for the entities signified, or just take the place and substitute as the symbols do. Also, signs or symbols may signify only mental constructs or they signify both constructs and external things. Then, since the signs signify (express, denote, connote, or designate) but the constructs mean, the significance of a sign in a language (natural or formal) equals the meaning of the mental construct designated by the sign.
A symbol, in its basic sense, is a conventional representation of a concept; i.e., an idea, object, quality, quantity, etc. In more psychological and philosophical terms, all concepts are symbolic in nature, and representations for these concepts are simply token artifacts that are allegorical to (but do not directly codify) a symbolic meaning, or symbolism. From the most general systemics perspective, a symbol is a communication mean, it is a graphical, written, vocal or other physical object which, usually in a syntetic sense, is used to the representation of another, more complex, physical or abstract object, or an object property. It is also used in various metaphoric notions.

1. FREEDOM TOWER Location: New York City Completion: 2009 Height: 1,776 feet
The top of the tower will consist of a latticework containing some pretty little windmills and a spire that reaches 1,776 feet in honor of the year the US was established. It will eventually be crowned the world’s tallest building–despite the fact that the top third won’t even have floors.
It has a single glass elevator that will glide from the top floor to what will be the world’s highest viewing platform 1,500 feet above the ground. At that height, you’ll be able to look down at the Empire State Building, the top of which is 28 feet lower. I’m afraid of heights, I don’t wanna have a view of it.
New Yorkers have become a touch nervy about working in tall buildings, this replacement for the World Trade Center will have only 70 floors containing about 2.6 million square feet of office space. In comparison, the twin towers had 110 floors taking up a whopping 11 million square feet. Hope it’ll not happen again, I pray. (9-11)
2. TAIPEI 101 Location: Taipei, Taiwan Completed: October 2004 Height: 1,667 feet (The highest building as of now 2006)
Already considered the world’s tallest building even before it was completed, this monster tops the 1,483 feet tall Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Its other global record: world’s fastest lifts, which can jet you from the lobby to the 89th floor for only 39 seconds. Going up?
To help stabilize this teeteering beast, architects added a "mass tune damper," essentially a giant ball that, in this case, weighs 730 tons. Although such dampers are usually hidden, this one is open to the public and painted gold. If it were a real gold, some may chip on it!
Taiwan was so eager to have the world’s tallest building that it overlooked minor obstacles that might have worried lesser developers. Like the major fault line that sits a mere 660 feet from the tower’s base. My GOD!
3. LOTTE WORLD II TOWER Location: Pusan, South Korea Completion: 2010 Height: 1,620 feet
Located on a widswept bay. Pusan is renowned for its typhoons. Engineers will put seven tanks holding 2.2 million gallons of water at the top of the tower, which, believe it or not, will help stabilize the building when it gets a bit breezy. Yeah that’s true but can it be incorporated to the building? Physics, Mechanics, Dynamics…brings a good idea!
Since their building will tower everything in Pusan. South Korea’s second largest city, the designers wanted it to look at least a bit Korean. The tower is meant to resemble a traditional Korean totem.
With the troubles of 9/11 in mind, firefighters get their own set of stairs. Plus, the building will include reinforced areas that protect people from smoke and fire. If there’s ever a shortage of water to battle tha blaze, firemen can always tap into those handy 2.2 million gallons sloshing around the roof. Remember the 7 tanks on the roof?
4. SHANGHAI WORLD FINANCIAL CENTRE Location: Shanghai, China Completion: 2008 Height: 1,614 feet
A tram-car system will pootle tourists around the hole that makes the building look like a giant bottle opener. This could bring an idea to come up of a skycraper that looks like a Coca-Cola bottle! Going back, there will be an outdoor observation deck at 1,329 feet. At that height you won’t even be able to see the people you’re gobbling on hahaha.
This building’s foundation was poured in 1997. Financial crisis hit and developers realized they were suddenly too skint to build a 101-story tower. The building sat unfinished for years, until construction resumed in February 2003. It should be, or it’ll just a waste of money.
Shanghai’s recent skyscraper building spree is causing the city to sink, although so far the rate is a mere centimeter per year. Still, that’s what you get when you build a throbbing metropolis on stinking swamp land. They should monitor this, and have a regular tests. Kinda scary about this!

The air we breathe contains a whole host of dust, germs, and pollen, and if these particles went straight into the lungs, our breathing system would be damaged.
Mucus or snot, the preliminary form of a booger, prevents this by tapping the particles and keeping them in the nose. After some time, the snot surrounds them along with some cilia "the tiny hairs insided the nose", and dries them down. And so welcome: the booger.
Boogers, in fact, indicate that the nose is working properly. But don’t let it stay inside your nose. Hahaha

There are so many people and families in the world living in a minimum wage.
Question: "Minimum wage is enough to supply our basic needs?"
I wonder how they live and think of their tomorrow. Yes, it can provide food for the day. Just the food for the day! How about the other expenses such as clothings, house needs, etc. If ever they don’t own a house, the rent. How much is it? Almost 30% of their monthly income. Yes, averagely anywhere in the world, the rent costs 30% of their monthly minimum wage. How about if they get sick? Consultations and medicines, how can they afford it? Yes again, we do have health centers and free medicines but there are some that only accepts around 20 patients a day. Also, around 50 patients visits the clinic and only 20 were being accepted?
They need to balance the expenses onl their necessities. Imagine these people eat bread the whole day. Some are noodles. Any food that is cheap and can sustain them. What nutrients can they have to be fit for their work? They might get sick and more expenses will be needed. If they’re going to focus on their food, what about the other expenses? Having a healthy but cheap foods yeah that’s the best thing. But for them it’s not cheap! Having those foods are beyond their food allowance. Doing that will cause debts and uncertainty.
May they find and have their wishes come true. They are the silent heroes of the world. Working for the company, giving service but they don’t receive service from the other. They are martyrs of the new world…

Baby Suri was born on April 18. After 4 and 1/2 passed and at last Baby Suri made her world debut.
I wonder what made it long to tell the world of Baby Suri. There’s lots of issues roaming around and specualtions if Suri really exists. Also, some speculations Suri is not their child. The one in the vanity fair was just a Rent-a-Baby route. Some tells, Suri’s true parents are Keanu Reeves and Bjork (based from the facial features).
I dunno what the truth is. I’m not after the looks of the baby. What I’m interested of, why it took so long? Baby Suri, is it their child or not? If it’s not theirs, who’s Baby Suri’s parents? What happened to their child?

Hey folks! From the title itself, what can you say about this?
Hahaha! I dunno if they have. I’m sorry. I really don’t have the idea about it. Maybe if you post some comments specially those vets, I can learn something from this.
I’ve made this idea when I played with a rooster. I gave it a chili. I was amazed! It actually ate it…hahaha
It opened the chili and start pecking the seeds, then ate the skin. That was so hot! I can’t imagine the rooster actually ate it. Despite of that, the rooster liked it!
I gave it a handful of chili. The rooster was so happy and appreciate my thoughtfulness hahaha!
What I know, chickens love corns. So does it mean they have tastes? I wonder Kellogg’s Corn Flakes have a rooster on their logo. Does it mean their corn flake have good quality and Rooster certified? Hahaha

Foreign nationals and also fellow Filipinos almost dig the grave for Philippines. There are also some people who raises the Philippine Flag.
Yes! We have great people that stands high above others. In every aspects, sports, leadership, knowledge, discoveries, education, technology, inventions, etc…
Also Yes! We are known for being hoodlums, scallywags, terrorist plots, several negative items.
I’m so ashamed that I’m a Filipino but not as that. I’m ashamed of what do people think of us. I’m ashamed of what other Filipinos had done. It’s not me, it’s them!
Why are we suffering? Those Filipinos who’s dying for his country and yet they receive the karma of the other. What can we do? Is it worth dying for, or the Filipinos are dying?
Don’t you think our country is sinking? If it’s sinking, what should we do? Run and jump over the sea? Leave the ship and forget the others? Rush to the boats, take the lifevests and leave the others to secure ourself?
Imagine a fruit stand, all fruits came from a high quality fruit farm. A rottened fruit were just placed with them. All other fruits were affected by it and beginned to have smelly stinky odor.
This is like what we are now! The others are being affected which is not supposed to be! It’s not a good practice to separate the rotting fruit and the good ones. You can’t say if the good one you picked were not affected. But it carries the bacteria that soon will make the fruit rot.
No matter how much effort we give in increasing the quality of our people, as long as there are rotting bastards, we’ll never get out of it.
To the fruit stand, it will be better to dispose all of these fruits, whether good or bad ones. Don’t forget to clean the rack…
