"Bad Boys Ravish Only Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly" When I was in second year high school, we had to memorize this line... Why you ask? Coz electricians are pervs who created this mnemonic for memorizing values of the bands in resistors. See those colored lines in those resistors? Those determine the resistance (in unit ohms) of each resistor. We had to calculate the total resistance of each resistor based on the values of those colors. Each color stands for a value... and memorizing the mnemonic would help us remember the values. Black - 0 Brown - 1 Red - 2 Orange - 3 Yellow - 4 Green - 5 Blue - 6 Violet - 7 Grey - 8 White - 9 For the complete guide on how to compute, read this. Astig no? Ala lang... reminiscing my high school days. I miss my techno boys! :( This post was inspired by this post.

Here's To The Crazy Ones
Here's to the crazy ones... Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in square holes, the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Nice, moving ad, don't you think? I can definitely relate. The irony of it though is how majority of the people who use Mac products are not the crazy ones in the wise, forward-thinking way anymore. They buy Mac precisely because it's the "in" thing... and they're only crazy because they buy expensive stuff when there are cheaper versions by other brands. Nonetheless, I like the ad, and I'd like to have an Apple iPod and a Mac Book. :P And yeah, I hope I get one idea crazy enough to change the world, and…
Has Life Been Boring?
People (the few who really read my blog anyway) must be wondering why my blog has been quite inactive. There used to be a time when I would blog two or three times on this personal blog. Now, it's more like two or three times a week. So how has life been? Fortunately, I haven't run out of interesting things to blog about. Unfortunately, I have been running out of time to blog. As a certain wise person once said, "blogging is a slacker's job." And as I have been getting more work, getting involved in more things, I have lost most of my precious time to blog about the more personal/emo stuff. And even as I blog now, I feel guilty because I am not sleeping yet as normal people are supposed to do... and I am supposed to be doing or thinking of other stuff. BOOHOO! Life has been interesting. I have been going to different places (within Davao, that is), meeting new people, getting more jobs and projects, and I will be going to Manila soon for iBlog 4. I will be a speaker there. CHAR NO?! I still have to prepare my presentation, though. Heck! I…
Gwing's Pasalubong
Yesterday, while I was frolicking through the Butterfly House, a friend sent me an SMS telling me that Gwing wants me to go online so we could chat. But I couldn't... friend then sent me this message: "I know you're going to like my pasalubong." -Gwing Ano kaya yun? Hmmm... Today, Gwing and I got to chat... and her only clue was "It might have been featured on ShopChicks." HUWHAT?! We have hundreds of posts there... I know because I was the blog's main blogger and now the editor. :( We have posts on clothes, make-ups, shoes, bags, accessories, cute things, and even home stuff. ANO DUN?! ANOOO?!

I'm Sick
I have so many things to do... blogs to maintain, businesses and events to run, people to deal with. But the weather is not cooperating. The daily weather here is veryyy weird. Most mornings are hot, while we have rains (strong ones) in the afternoons, followed by cool evenings. That is definitely not good. I have a weak immune system, and is an asthmatic. Sometimes my allergies characterized by sneezing, watery eyes, and colds are triggered by the erratic weather. NOT GOOD! I have already taken Ventolin for my asthma, Celestamine for my allergies, and multiply capsules of Fern-C to boost my immune system. GRAWRRR! I hope I start feeling better soon, because the alternative of talking stronger anti histamines will make me sleepy, and will render me unable to work. A bigger GRAWRRR!
