A kid’s Sinulog 2008 moment that we, I and V, captured and immortalized. The two kids posed for our partly drenched point-shoot camera but focus was tweaked by people pushing people at the back to get closest to the performers.
Plan your Sinulog 2009 celebration by going over the Sinulog 2009 events and schedules after the jump. The information below were taken from Sinulog.ph continue reading…
Just Perfect!

Two elementary school kids boarded the jeepney I am on for work this morning. Paid their due and unboarded at Lahug Elementary School. There’s nothing heartbreaking about that until after some meters away. The old guy noticed a ten(10) peso coin lying where the two kids were.
That’s a ten peso coin, man, for a public elementary school student that should amount to something. I know this because I too came from such school and I pocket four huge Jose Rizal coins. Four bucks for the whole day but that was before (Nineties baby I am.) and I was a small town boy and I walk home for lunch. These kids where the exact opposite.
It could just one of those days for the kids.
What a ten peso coin was worth for during my elementary school days:
- 10 packs of Marvel Universe pouch with 2 text cards and a candy each
- 10 pouches of Sweet Corns
- 10 Pirate chips
- 5 banana Qs
Quality life is expensive. [sigh]
Locked out in Oh Eight!
7 comments Short On Ideas
Oh eight turned its leaf over with a bang for me!
Punch up, down, down, left, right, left, right!
Hours, between seven to nine pee mmm, before the new year I got myself locked out of my room. Felt lucky for a moment founding out about it because the caretaker(Manang Jovie) was around preparing food for the new year then quarter of a second later felt otherwise.
She didn’t have the spare key!
T’was with the owner(Madam Sabina) who happen to live a thousand miles away. I may me exaggerating but basing on manang’s hopeless expression it’s that distant. 
Trying out numerous keys and some playing cards among other continue reading…

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Write a Comment Movies
90’s kids, such as me, will always remember those Friday nights elbowing with parents to have control of the TV to catch an episode of The Uncanny X-Men. The best X-Men tv-series ever! I tell you, new millennium kiddies, that the digitized teenage X-Men you follow is no match to the animation and depth of the stories covered by The Uncanny X-Men. This is when I was first introduced to Gambit. The playing card throwing mysterious guy of the X-Men Blue Team. He’s my, let’s say, hero when my cousins settled for the more famous Cyclops and Wolverine as theirs.
Now, on May 2009, Marvel will be releasing the first of the origins series of X-Men and due to his importance in the X-Men trilogy Wolverine was not a difficult choice to make. This sure will be a HIT! No doubt. But I hated the X-Men trilogy due to it’s shallowness. The producers were to scared to alienate the uninitiated movie-goers by not going to the more interesting story. They were more into making sure that the replica of the famous characters will sell in the many fastfood chains. With Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk being good it should be a challenge for its producers to top.
With Sabretooth, Deadpool and Gambit on the fold among many others this surely will be better! Watch the trailer, in high definition, after the jump. continue reading…
Christmas cavalcades in black
2 comments EventsI was expecting to see a lot of Chistmas lights while passing through the Cebu towns on my way home to celebrate Christmas Oh Eight with my family in Sibulan. My expectations where burnt with darkness. Most, yes most, of the households had their lights turned off. House lights were turned off. My better thinking tells me this is just a way to direct Christmas carolers away but after close checking it wasn’t. They didn’t have it! Majority of the households didn’t have any of those lights.
Doing the same checking on the towns after crossing Tañon Strait, the body of water that separates Cebu and Negros Oriental, the last line on the last paragraph still holds true.
I can’t say people have lost their Christian ways because passing churches early in the morning on my way to work say otherwise. I can’t say people don’t have the money because going inside major malls in Cebu city was a war on the days before Christmas.
I dunno, man, but I guess the line “kumukutikutitap na bombilya” is irrelevant at this day and age.
Will be checking next year.
Malipayong Pasko!

Government issues pay rules for long holiday
Write a Comment MoneyBe guided on your holiday pay, man!
Taken from DOLE website:
The government today reiterated the pay rules for the regular holidays on December 25 (Christmas Day), December 30, 2008 (Rizal Day) and January 1, 2009 (New Year’s Day), as well as the special non-working days on December 26, December 29, and December 31, 2008 (Last Day of the Year).
Labor and Employment Secretary Marianito D. Roque said that based on Proclamation No. 1463 issued by President Arroyo on February 18 this year, she declared December 26 (Friday) and 29, 2008 (Monday) additional special (non-working) days throughout the country, “in order to enable our countrymen to have a more meaningful observance of Christmas and New Year, to strengthen their ties with one another.”
Is ‘isass.exe’ a system file or trojan?
2 comments FixTo make this short and succinct, “ISASS.exe” is not a system file. So now we know how to call it - Trojan! 
Allow me to make something interesting about this. If we divide this into two possible words it becomes “IS ASS” which is clever and funny and is not in anyway the characteristic of a system file. System files are often boring like “LSASS.exe” which is the system file.
Users wont be able to boot to safe mode of Windows if hit by this trojan. Booting to Winre and running system restore in Vista systems may work. You’re the luckiest dude(tte) if it’s fixed. If all else fail, reinstalling the operating system should be the last and final solution to this.
Happy fixing, kiddies!
