the plaza housing gazette

Tired of the same shits of the daily news? Here’s an exciting new take by the newest bed boys of the blogverse – The Plaza Housing Gazette!

Here’s an about them snippet:

This site is not a legitimate news source. Do not come suing us because we’re obviously not mentally capable of comprehending as much as a friendly email from a close relative, least of all “legal documents” and crap like that. And even if you tried, you’ll never get us ‘coz you have no idea who and where we really are, and, that aside, we’re also mentally incapable of comprehending “IP address tracing” and that kind of shit.

None of this is true. None of it is “fictionalized” either. These are blatant lies! Or alternative truths depending on which side of the escapism spectrum you lie (pun unintended) on.

windows 7

Here’s a guide on how to verify license activation status for your Windows 7 installation. Type this little helper on the command prompt:

slmgr.vbs -dlv all

Listed below are the possible license states of your Windows 7 installation:

  • Licensed Successful activation.
  • Initial Grace Period Default state after installing Windows 7. You will be reminded to activate if you did not set activation automatically.
  • Notification When the grace period expires a message will tell you to that reactivation is required.
  • Additional Grace Period When Windows 7 thinks its being installed on a new hardware. May happen when a new hardware is added. You’ll need to reactivate license.
  • Unknown A problem on the licensing components.
  • Unlicensed Plainly says “get a license.”

I got these info during our company’s training way before Windows 7 was made available so comment is highly appreciated for any mistakes. :)

 

Death by books

dead book (kudos to original image owner)

Are you one of the busy heads who cant build images with their heads?

Finishing a 200-page book/novel in a week is not my talent. And I don’t always get it. Meaning understanding what the book is all about. So breathing in real life when pausing in between reading is to help my little mind to get it. That’s how I keep my interest on written things alive – it stirs the neurons out of me.

So, I’m asking you, how do you keep the flame?

Or, are you, at this day of high-definition TVs and high-speed internet, the busy head who thinks that books are dead? (Books here are either printed or electronic)

 

Flushing you out!

Negros Oriental Buglasan festival was supposedly aimed at boosting local tourism. Provincial or city officials moved it to an area called Sidlakang Negros which is not very accessible and not well arranged as opposed to it’s previous venue at the Provincial Capitol Area two years ago. I was their scouting for flyers for any local tourism spots. Because I was interested in trying out new stuff as we all are but none of that was available and asking the people in the respective town’s booths did not help either. So, what is wrong here? Everything is but count out the mouth drenching dalupapa(giant squid) BBQs.

I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks that the new Cebu South Bus Terminal(CSBT) is nothing but a money making ploy. I use the terminal every weekend – I travel from Cebu city to Liloan where I take the 20-minute sea trip back to Sibulan, Negros Oriental. Using the new terminal is a total hassle and I have to pay five (5) bucks to get in. Yeah, you got your little TVs and reconditioned ACs but that’s not why I go to the terminal for. I need to travel and providing this little comfort, which is not at all completely that, is not helping. I’m not paying just to get to my designated bus the same way as how it was before.

Last week, I took a photo of this guy in the counter, where everyone queues up to get their PRIORITY tickets, and this is still about the new CSBT, he was wearing over-sized and glittering gold things around his neck, wrists and even his shinny black shades that is very hard to ignore. I shown the photo to my wife and she told me that it was the brother of Gwen. Oh, the new Cebu South Bus Terminal big BOSS he was. Making sure everything is in order, eh?

Lamb Of God’s Sacrament album cover was used by our local church’s projectionist. I don’t know if it was intentional or just an honest google-ing mistake. I have to point it out to my wife the moment I saw it. I was intently listening to the reading when this happened. Last note, be careful of what you search for.

There you go, friends, just some things that needed flushing. :)

camp pads that didnt reach typhoon victims

That’s a set of Coleman camp pads donated by Japan for the typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng victims that never reached the victims. Somebody is trying to hold up the relief goods!

The following links will tell you more about it:

  1. Google cached original blog post from ellaganda.com
  2. Gang Badoy’s repost on her Multiply account

To the Heartless, you know who you are, there’s a place for you!

UPDATE: Very much like the patched zombie, the Heartless was hit by a life-giving spark from the sky on Oct 23 2009. DSWD’s Sec. Cabral now wants volunteers to repack the relief goods, posted through Gang Badoy’s Multiply account.

 

Blog Action Day 2009: Climate Change

Tags: ,

2 comments Events

Every October 15 of every year, bloggers worldwide discuss a single topic of global importance. This year it is Climate Change.

I used to play basketball on an uncovered court during my elementary school days. On a high noon as that’s the only time when kids have the premise over grown-ups. The sun wasn’t that hot to boil our blood. And the air was soothing and cool.

I don’t think kids today will ever enjoy the sun the way we did before.

It’s hot now. Very hot!

Something is wrong. And we are perpetually doing so.

Help preserve our oneness with nature so we wont have to build armors to live in this harsh environment that one day we might just come refer to as our home.

Take care is not just something we give to our friends and lovers – Earth badly needs it too.

Kenneth Cobonpue (Image source: http://pinoycentric.com/2007/04/16/conquering-the-world-one-design-at-a-time/)
Kenneth Cobonpue doesn’t need any introduction to the international furniture community or maybe even locally and though I missed the tour to his creative lair last September 5, 2009 with the Cebu Bloggers Society, because I happen to just sleep it through, I find it obligatory to still to post about him. A post that could someday inspire some of our brilliant minds in the same field as his to follow their star.

Anyway, for the uninitiated, Kenneth Cobonpue is an industrial designer known for his signature designs using rattan, buri, bamboo, and abaca.

It’s a wonder how he does it so listed below are the thoughts of the people who were there to witness and actually breath through the secrets of his creations:

 

Erap jokes and runs for president

Joseph Estrada (Credit goes to owner)This is what former Philippine president Joseph E. Estrada has to say when asked if he’s running for the 2010 Philippine Presidential Elections.

…tignan natin hanggang last week of September o first week ng Octrober (Source: Newsbreak)

Think he’s kidding? Or if he’s really still allowed to run? Well, read on, man.

According to ARTICLE VII Section 4 of The 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines the President shall not be eligible for any re-election but continues no person who has succeeded as President and has served as such for more than four years shall be qualified for election to the same office at any time.

No joke. No kidding. Didn’t he signed a resignation letter?

I see more Erap jokes a comin’ in 2010’s Philippine Presidential Elections but I wanna see the administration do something about it. Deadline is approaching, who will you be voting?
