Not with a bang but a whimper

According to a select group of conspiracy theorists, the world will end on December 21, 2012.
Unless my math is wrong (which, let's face it, it most probably is), that's 3 years, 11 months, and 30 days from now.

The basis of the theory stems from the Mayan Long Count Calendar. To spare you the details, the gist of it is that, in Mayan tradition, the Gods created 3 worlds before ours, with each world being created and destroyed on a long count of 12.19.19.17.19. I have no idea what those numbers mean, I don't even know what the hell a long count calendar is, but according to some smarty-pants historians and scientists, December 21, 2012 will fall on a long count of 12.19.19.17.19 as well.

COINCIDENCE?!
Yeah I think so.

Further study into this fascinating theory however points to the fact that no prophecy was made concerning that date. Heck, the Mayans didn't even say the world will end there. It's simply a date that shares a count with the previous creation. In fact, the Mayans even had dates put on AFTER Dec.12,2012. Some even going as far as the year 4772. So that's bit of a bust on the theory. If it turns out to be false, there's going to be a lot of embarrassed conspiracy theorists out there, blushing and looking at their shoes.

But, let's presuppose the Mayans are correct. Suppose the world DOES end on December 21st, 2012. Maybe it's not an "end" in the traditional sense. Maybe it's more of a spiritual renewal, or the genesis of a new form of life that we can never imagine.
But what if it IS the end? What if on that day, the world, and everyone in it, ceases to exist?
In the blink of an eye, life as we know it, comes to a grinding halt.

They say the world will end in 3 years, 11 months, 30 days. In that span of time, can you honestly say that you've made something out of life? Would you be able to welcome the apocalypse, with open arms, devoid of fear or regret? Maybe you don't need a profound explanation for life, but just something that can make you say, "I'm ready."

Will you be able to say that when the end comes knocking at your door?

This is the way the world ends

The Flavor Chip Life

You know when you're eating chips, you find this awesome chip, and its wearing a thick foundation of flavoring? that's the flavor chip!

then after consuming it, you would want another one, so you start going through the other normal chips until you do. And sometimes you find more flavor chips, sometimes you don't find any other flavor chips at all.

and we take these normal chips for granted you know, because they are nothing compared to the satisfaction brought by these awesome flavor chips. But in truth, all of us agree, that when we open a bag of just a few flavor chips inside, we wouldn't be satisfied as well.

Life is kinda like that.

thank you boredom

DI AKO MAKATULOG! MAY IPIS SA KWARTO KO!

After getting home from watching the last full show (Big Stan). I looked forward to crashing to dreamland in my bed, when suddenly after a routine checkup for IMs and Emails, there is a freakin COCKROACH as big as MT. PINATUBO attached on the wall beside my bed.

And I shit you not its big, its like the next manny pacquiao fight.

So my first reaction was to grab the nearest slipper. but the nearest one was way too close to the behemoth. So i opted for the CDs and DVDs in my table. So i went on ahead and threw 300 at him, MISSED! and he hurried up into the ceiling. I quickly followed up with A Series Of Unfortunate Events and thats when i saw my fear become even bigger

THE MOTHERFUCKER HAS WINGS!

THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A COCKROACH THE SIZE OF A CHILD THAN A COCKROACH THE SIZE OF A CHILD THAT HAS WINGS!

But with great reflexes, I took one of my Guitar Hero Controllers and slugged it out of the air. landing on the ground and REALIZING I HAD NO SLIPPERS ON, I quickly scrambled to the top of my bed, where I saw him retreat somewhere in my brother's side of the room.

I never saw it again.

And now it waits

Somewhere in my room

The biggest cockroach in the world

waits

patiently

for the prey to sleep

but I cant sleep

How could you sleep if you were in my position?!

Somewhere in your room is a cockroach you attempted to kill
you attempted to slice using projectile DVDs
you attempted to slug using a toy guitar
SOMEWHERE IS A COCKROACH WHO HAS UNFINISHED BUSINESS SOMEWHERE NEAR YOUR BED! WHERE YOU SLEEP!

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF. IT WILL CRAWL INTO YOUR OPEN SNORING MOUTH AND SHIT THERE

Thats whats gonna happen when i sleep.

help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Globalization

Viva La Globalization!

Very imposing, and very commanding. Just do it...

Okay

The Croc.

Haha, get it? TAP into more great times at Friday's...
Nope... that didnt work...

I was walking around the bookstore at about 11am and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and a film SLR shutter sounds like a 50 cal. shit.

Interactive art they say. This thing just gets you wet...

not that kind of wet...

slightly out of focus, but still very stylish :) I'm teaching her how to use the digital Sony. She loves it.

Greenbelt 5 Mall. We have so many malls in the Philippines, we're running out of names to call them.

Toy dogs seem to be becoming a popular accessory too here...

This lady even pooped one out

Japanese Pancake Pizza Omelet. Okonomiyaki. Had to run into "Little Tokyo" to stay dry.

Everyone else was watching a Tigers baseball game. This dude and I were just :|

Coffee shop pimp. Way to go.

My dad thinks all this Globalization smells funny, but it's what makes the world go 'round. Thank you McDonald's.

Yeaaah. Smells funny...

How to ruin your diet: Pan Fried Red Ribbon Ensaymada

Hello! here's a sure fire way to ruin your diet. Ever had Red Ribbon Ensaymadas? Wait lets not call it that. Lets call it 'das cause thats more awesome. Ever had some Red Ribbon 'das? You do? Have you ever had them fried to a crisp crusty behemoth of pleasure?

What most people don't know is that when you eat at Red Ribbon, as in you dine-in and eat inside the establishment. When you order ensaymada, they fry it up for you. And smother it with butter and powedered sugar. That got me thinking. maybe i could do my own version at home!

I shall dedicate this post in teaching you how to ruin your diet with a Pan Fried Red Ribbon 'das. WITH PICTURES!

So we start off by softening a refrigerated 'da via microwaving heating.


DELIGHTFUL! But not delightful enough!

After that we get butter and melt it in a teflon pan


The more non-fat the butter, the better

Make sure your 'da is not spoiled and doesnt have molds and such. Happened to me before and that was a fun experience in the toilet...


I shat the sheriff...

Now because I wasted time macro-ing the shot above. I didnt notice the butter was burning in my pan. So there you go, we put some more butter (and burn it) and the pan is ready for crispy-fying.


Butter should not be brown, but its all good

We put the 'da cheese side up and let it fry until you feel its burnt enough.


Burninating commencing!

Now we flip it over. AND WHATS THIS? NO cheese on this side?! FOR SHAME! The lack of cheese saddens me, so we go to the icebox and look for cheese we can burn.


THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

I found some singles cheese and it did its job well. If you could, you could put 1-900 slices of cheese in there. I dont care.


ah yes, the world is better now

Now lets flip it over to burn the NFC (New Found Cheese). Make sure you melt it good.


Mas masarap pa sa SEx ;)

On to the plate. Now for garnishing purposes, we put some Philadelphia Cream Cheese on top. FOR GARNISHING PURPOSES NGA LANG E. Its not mainly for eating. but you can eat it too. :)


'Das Incredible!

So there you go, remember that when ruining your diet, make sure you go ALL-OUT. because partially ruining your diet is just stupid. If your already ruining it with a Banana Split you should make that go with a Chocolate Milkshake as well. I mean why wouldn't you? its already ruined anyway.

Sneaky Rolls, Meter on the Fritz

Sneaky Rolls, Meter on the Fritz

I didn't know what was on this roll, but it was tucked snug in my closet and as I was cleaning out, I decided to have this processed and scanned. I now know why I didn't scan this in the first place, the shots from it were hardly keepers...

A burnt half frame. My cousin JJ learning how to use Photoshop. This guy's got heart :)

A happy couple having some tea

Buckles. My Loyal Beagle.

My dad. He's a milkman, here he is examining the milk's consistency and viscosity in the glass. He never really liked the business cause it really is a bitch negotiating with mainland Indians and getting them to ship ANYTHING out on time. Hare Krishna.

My folks watching a movie while waiting for dessert. This is quite cute.

This was from a Call Of Duty night at Jame's pad. The guy has computers and sensors in every fucking corner. U.P. over here decided to distract us during controller setup.

that's about it from this lost roll.
and it might be the last from my Yashica Electro 35. The meter is acting funny, and when a rangefinder wont focus on infinity, you know something's wrong.
