Facebook and twitter

   Everyone has a facebook account, and twitter is becoming an essential for serious bloggers. So I have no choice but to join the borg collective. I recently started out my facebook and twitter acount. I've been having doubts wether to get involved in facebook and twitter. I've never been the type to do things that are popular. So now I've finally got my Facebook account and Twitter. But on my first day I get this message.

So I'm off to a great start I suppose.

   My facebook is also attracting relatives and and old friends as well. I'm having a bit of a problem with   navigating through the site but I'm sure I'll get a hang on it sooner or later. So just feel free to invite me to facebook and  your twitter if you have one. Hehehe!

Duplicate yourself

I just read an email today from Mr. Bo Sanchez about Duplicating yourself to be more successful. I thought to myself, duplicating is easier said than done. I can't recall how many times I've tried. Maybe I was just doing it the wrong way.

Anyway I finally got my bro started on blogging. See he works in an Internet Shop owned by our parents so most of his time is spent on the internet. His work is perfect for blogging I thought. So I taught him the basics.. That was just last week. Now I think his blogs look better than mine and the content seems more interesting than mine!

Check out his blogs. He's already managing 3 in just 1 week!

I always thought of blogging as an RPG game. Writing content is like fighting monsters to level up, and all the other blogging tools are weapons you can use to level up faster. My bro is a genius when it comes to RPG video games. I should've expected him to get the hang of this faster than I did when I first started blogging. The way he's going, he'll have more content and a better looking blog than I do. Geez.. Talk about beating your own mentor. Lol!

My bro's secret identity... don't tell anyone okay?

I wish I could write like this

The following is an excerpt from a blog of a friend. Although she decided to take on a different career, I'm still big fan of her writing. I wish I could write like this..

FROM: http://thespacebetweentwoboxes.blogspot.com/

"At first I thought, okay this is really wrong. How can you categorize or schedule the elements of grief? How can you even name the elements of grief? It's different for everyone. But then the good Wikipedia article on Ross stated that these stages can actually happen in any order. It makes sense."

"Some of us are strong enough to accept reality as soon as loss looms its miserable head, but also fickle enough to wake up the next morning and wish that everything was just a nightmare. Some of us bargain first--would you stay if I changed? or just give me time and I'll figure things out."

"I'm tired of watching the movies of my age. I'm tired of the stereotypical storylines. These movies today, they bank on either special effects or on the hype, and I'm just thirsty for some really good and un-"Hollywoodized" movies.
So I figured I'd take a look back and check out the movie "greats"-- before we became a "look-at-me" society, before we got too hooked up on the leading lady's figure, before film makers cared too much about their target audiences."

Sigh... someday my blog posts will magically become that good! Hehehe!

Percy Jackson: Clash of the Teen Titans

We were supposed to watch Alice in Wonderland, but then my wife and I were debating wether to watch a cheezy John Lloyd movie, or a Disney's Alice in 3D land. I don't know where our argument lead to but we ended up watching Percy Jackson. I wasn't too excited about it at first. I thought it'll be another cheap movie. But whoa, was I so wrong.

The movie was an exciting adventure. And since I was a fan of greek and roman mythology myself the plot of the movie did not disappoint me at all. Aside from being a mythology fan I was also a James Bond fan, so having Pierce Brosnan in the movie (I had no idea he would be in it) was more than a plus!

Overall Percy Jackson is one of the best I've seen this year. The humor, the adventure, and the concept of teenage demigods in modern times is a great combination. People might hate me for saying this, but I thought that Percy Jackson is way, way better than any Potter movie I've seen.

Funny Dell Customer Service Call

This is a really funny customer service call I found in Youtube. I work in Teletech under a Dell account and I get this kind of customer all the time. LOL! I deal with these kind of calls differently though.

NOTE: This call was recorded and uploaded to Youtube April 2007 before I even started working for a DELL account and even before Teletech NOva had a DELL account.


LOL again!

Pinoy Hangaroo Re-post

I didn't expect people to actually like this game so much. I'm re-posting it again then.
