The Google Song

I didn't know there was a google song, at all. Strange.

The Google dance
(To the tune of "Safety dance" by Men Without Hats, brought to you once again by Gefilte and the Hoolinet)

Gggg oooo oooo gggg llll eeee
Google dance!

Ah it can dance when it wants to, it can leave your site behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if don't dance
They're no friends of mine
I say it will come when it wants to, a patter you'll never find
And you can link your site all over this world
Leave the real one far behind
And it can dance (2x)

Google!

Ah it can dance when it wants to, the tech is young and so am I
And it can fresh your site just about every night
Then surprise you with a PR5

I say you can push the red button, if you don't nobody will
And you can act real cool and totally removed
While we all act like imbeciles
I say it can dance, it can dance, everything's under control
it can dance, it can dance, nothing you can do at all
it can dance, it can dance, everybody's peein' their pants
it can dance, it can dance, everyone give it a chance
Google dance
Oh well the Google dance
Ah yes the Google dance

Gggg oooo oooo gggg llll eeee
Google dance

it can dance when it wants to, it crawls all your site and mine
And long as we don't spam it, always gonna have it
Everything'll work out right
I say, it can dance when it wants to, it can leave your site behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say it can dance, it can dance, everything's under control
it can dance, it can dance, nothing you can do at all
it can dance, it can dance, everybody's peein' their pants
it can dance, it can dance, everyone give it a chance
The Google dance, The Google dance...

it can dance


Interesting. ;-)

World's Richest, no more?

Last April 4, the founder of Ikea became the world's richest man -- overtaking Bill Gates? Turns out Ingvar Kamprad has $57 Billion to his fortune compared to Bill Gates' $47 Billion. Interesting noh, I think this holds true up to now. More of it here.

You guys have gotta see this. It's just, insane.

Bukakke Comic

Here is an free online comic by Susannah Breslin about Bukakke.
40 Peso night-out

Came from Greenbelt 3, and "hung-out" at Ice bar. This is one of the few times I agree on going to places like these. I'm cheap. Haha! Really, I'd rather settle for a night of drinking at a house, where at least I know more than half of the people I'm with actually drink to get drunk and have fun, and not get drunk to get fucked. Haha. I'm a bit "jaded" tonight, so bear with me.

So tonight was open-bar, free-flowing champagne, and some vodka mix (Ice bar primarily serves vodka-stuff), which I can't even remember. They served sprite with it, which I found too sweet for me, so I opted for tonic to be mixed in with the "vodka" instead. It was ok, the vodka, even if I'm not that much of a vodka-drinker. Never found the whole bitter-cough-syrup taste of it "appealing" or "fun", maybe it's an acquired taste of sorts. Aside from the vodka, they had "finger-food" (pulutan nang sosy, haha) which actually were good, even if they were free (I half-expected the "pulutan", being free, would've tasted like my brother's foot) -- the "pulutan" was sliced-toasted-bread with pesto, cheese and salsa(?) on top. Not exactly wine-and-cheese "match", but it sufficed for that break I needed in between vodka's.

So there..why was tonight a 40 peso night. Well, let's see: the drinks were free, the food too. So I just ended up paying for the parking! Haha! Cheap-o.

I miss going to Winstub, though. It's this hole-in-the-wall bar up in QC. Man you've gotta go there, when you feel that big hole in your wallet, 200 pesos can go a long way there. Trust me. Plus the "ambiance" is not your typical "hole-in-the-wall-bar". Steady lang...

Here's some info on vodka. Just so if you're curious. I've a stash of some really strong vodka my dad brought from one of his trips to Russia. Haven't really found anything as strong as that stuff. If I remember correctly, the brand of the vodka was: Peter the Great. Trust me, after a shot of that, you won't feel that great. I think the stuff could actually be used to clean wounds, and even be substituted for denatured alcohol used for food heaters. Haha.

For those aspiring, and who've always dreamt of making-and-working with video-games; you guys've gotta download and read this. That's why I'm fine with JUST playing games, and not making them.



That my friends, is a $10,000 kitchen-computer.

One of the first personal computers was the Honeywell Model 316 Kitchen Computer, sold way back in 1965. Its main purpose was to store recipes, it took two weeks to program, and it cost $10,000. I think it's target market was people with way more money than brains.

More on it, here.

Remember: Tomorrow's "Crime Night"(11PM) on Discovery, and if you're into cars, you're probably going to like "Rides"(8PM).

Do you have stickers on your car? No, not the one's issued by your village/subdivision or even that "Wear a seatbealt" sticker issued by the LTO after you pay a traffic violation fee, or have your car registered. Stickers. Like a smiley face, victoria's court sticker or maybe a campaign sticker? Hehe. Me and my "barkada" have this on the rear windshield of each of our cars:



It's a "pig-logo" you can find on most Subaru Impreza WRC (World Rally Championship) cars, it's a sponsor decal. Until yesterday, we thought the pig's name was Sammy, as the Impreza also had a "Sammy" decal on it, so I guess, we just thought that it was somehow connected with the pig, Sammy being its name. I've always been curious about what the pig stood for, and if Sammy was its real name. So I went on google and tracked the pigs' origin down. After an hour or two of searching, and laughing. These are the pieces of information I got about the pig.

1. Turns out that it doesn't have a name, well as far as I know at least.
2. Sammy isn't it's name, in support for fact #1, and Sammy is actually a business-systems-solutions provider.
3. The pig, is actually the mascot/logo for this magazine.

Hilarious. Haha! Now that's what I get for being overtly curious.
New Layout courtesy of my cousin Bruce. :)

He does layouts pretty well, huh. If you have some problems, or want a new layout or want money, or cigarettes; he's the man to go to! Haha! I think he charges a fee, though.

I'm catching up with anime' I've stocked up on over the last few months. Currently watching Wolf's Rain. It's ok so far (just finished watching episode 1). Let's see how this goes..

Jeff Buckley's album "Grace" is really good. My favourite tracks, for now, are: "Hallelujah", "So Real" and "Mojo Pin".

PS2 and XBOX modding, are pretty much accepted ways of making a living here in the Philippines. In other countrie's it's pretty much an underground thing, close to being illegal. Well over at Spain, a judge seems to think otherwise by ruling out that XBOX modding being illegal. The practice of modding an XBOX or a PS2 enables the PS2/XBOX to play games and DVD's from other countries. In other words, it's making your XBOX/PS2 region-free (both for games and DVD's). So yeah, any game/DVD, including pirated ones will run on the console. Hmm..just found it interesting...More of it here.



Now that's a Morse-cellphone. I wonder if this clicks with Pinoys. Haha! The picture is part of a photo-contest, just in case you start freaking out and think of ordering one. Stop.

An iPod can go for as much as $499 today. For $430 in 1979, you could've bought this!



Dammmmnnnn....more Boomboxes here.

For iPod users. iTunes 4.5 is out, and there's a new software update for your iPod.

Check out Yahoo Beta, I can't seem to find a good direct-link to it, so just go to the link and look for an inconspicous ad for it (Yahoo Beta). Did find some bugs, though. Hehe! I like the new look, artsy-fartsy looking. Plus the avatars and pictures are finally incorporated into YM!, one feature I found YM! to be lacking, when MSN and other IM's have been using it for some time already. Thank's to Lia for tell me 'bout it. ;)

Did you know that a Formula One (F1) car can easily run upside down running on the ceiling of say, a tunnel? über cool. Haha!

I've used our washing machine for 3 consecutive washes already, is that bad?

I woke up this afternoon with aching legs. I went to the gym yesterday, finally, after having wasted a good 5 months of club-fee's, not even getting within 50 feet of the gym. I used to have a gym-habit, a regiment so they say, lost it somewhere along the way of partying and drinking and waking up too late into the afternoon when driving was too much of a hassle. Plus the thesis-term was last term, so I lost the "habit" altogether...Haahaa!

I've got to lose some pounds, otherwise my Endocrinologist goes on another monologue about the dangers of being a diabetic and being overweight at the same time. Damnnnnnnnn!

SO there.

I had a nice little lunch with Iris and her mom this afternoon. The place we ate in has got to be the best place to get your "gelato-fix". Gelato is like ice-cream, but not exactly made with cream. Head on over here to get more info on it. Anyways, back to the gelato; they serve so many flavours, last I counted was 16!!! There's my all time favourite mint-chocolate (some people say it's like eating colgate), orange, melon, blue-berry, tiramisu, cherry, strawberry, vanilla, at madami pang iba. Plus! It's just Php 30 a scoop, and I'm talking about a SCOOP!! Though you do have to get on the good side of the "Ate" there to have her provide you with a SCOOP. The price is cheap, dirt cheap compared to BTIC or any other ice-cream stands in the malls, well those I've gone to at least. And I have diabetes ha! Haha!

So the place is located beside Don Bosco. It's called Amici de Don Bosco, there's parking right beside the place, but to get to it you've to take Pasong Tamo, then turn right on the intersection going to Pasay Road (beneath the skyway off-ramp), then you'll find a small opening/alley by your right. The meals taste like home-cooking, so they're really really good, and quite afforable, too. Plus they have free, yes, FREE, bread-and-olive-oil-with-parmesan-and-balsamic. Haha!

SO there.

We have no house-help at the moment, and it's been hard getting our laundry, cooking, even house-hold cleaning done. So me and my brothers just cleaned today. Took us a good 30 minutes just to get the whole 1st floor cleaned and smelling like Lysol, though I think we may have overdid it with the Lysol. Haha!

We did have trouble getting the washing machine started. It kept on stopping when we opened the lid. Turns out "shy" yung washing machine namen, ayaw niyang sinisilipan kaya ayun. Badtrip! I've to get a maid, really soon. Here's a very very cool way of folding clothes, trust me, you're going to laugh at the sales-lady in Giordano after watching this. I think you need Windows Media Player, or any supported codec to play the file. Download Download Download!!

I punctured my index finger with one of the wires of the braces I have. It's soo fucking hard typing with the "fuck-you-finger". Fuck. Haha! I've my hands in this constant "ngarat" pose.

Got the Ciudad album today, and my does it rock. Literally. Get it! Get it! It's only Php 250. I like the inlay-card-paper-material. Parang, pang wedding, labo.

Also, watched Spartan, after having read Ramon's brief "comment" on the movie. Though, I doubt it'll still be showing tomorrow. Man on Fire is showing tomorrow-night, I think. This film had me curious the moment I saw the trailer. I do hope it holds up to my expectations.

So there. Here's a fresh new post on this old, but newly cleaned blog of mine. Har har, Hee hee!

Fuck does my fuck-you-finger ache typing this. Plus I'm currently chatting with very talkative people on my IM. Aray. Plus Plus, I wanna pick my nose. Hmmm...Damn!

Clean slate, again. Thinking of new, and hopefully consistently "related" content.
