SOUTH PARK



I have always wanted to know what I'll look like if I was a South Park cartoon. Well here it is! My wife made it for me. Is there any resemblance at all?

I heard from a source that the video that I did was a success! I'm so happy about it! I felt like I won an Oscar. My friend said the bride watched the video about 10 times. Not the best record in my book though. Janners might have watched her video more than that! Right?!

THE HONEYSPOT VIDEO PRODUCTION

I made 2 music video's for a client this week. To be honest I didn't think that I can pull it off because I was doing the second video with an Arabic theme. There were obstacles that left me dumbstruck for a day or two, like the time when I had to use huge high quality movie clip file. My computer crashed everytime that I had to edit it. Its a good thing that I can compress it to a DivX format or else I would have been toast. I have to upgrade my computer before I could even touch it...and I used two computers...yes! two computers to get the job done.

But thank God that my client was pleased with the final product. Deep inside I'm so happy...and so proud of myself! Now I was informed that I have two weddings booked this month. Yeah baby! Two! So wish me luck.

Special thanks to my friend Sarah for spreading the word...My son Diego for sleeping when I needed to work...and my wife Lany for all the support.

1...2...3...

Naalala nyo ba nung bata tayo tuwang-tuwa tayo kapag kinakanta natin yung 1 2 3 asawa ni Marie? Lately, kinanta ko sya para sa anak ko for no reason. And then naisip ko na kung bakit walang panty ang asawa ni Marie...kasi lalaki sya! He wears briefs!

"One, Two, Three! Asawa ni Marie! Araw gabi, walang panty!"

RELIGIOUS

Sabi ng nanay ko na kapag daw ikaw ay naaapi kailangan daw daanin sa dasal. Minsan ginawa ko na ito pero di ko pa nakikita ang effect...Pero isang araw ng nag-announce na ang mga bago kong amo ng kanilang titolo bilang diyos para akong binuhusan ng malamig na asido at nagkaroon ng isang religious encounter... Para silang Holy Trinity! Whoa!

Si Father - Para nga siyang tatay. Kasi utos sya ng utos, reklamo ng reklamo pero di marunong makinig.

Son - Oo, kalahati lang sya ng laki ni Father at para silang mag-ama kapag magkasama. (lalo siguro kung kakandong sya.)

At si Holy Ghost - Hindi dahil divine sya, pero dahil madalas di mo sya makita dahil late sya laging pumasok. Pero kapag naramdaman mo na sya at the end of the day daig pa ang habagat. Kaya naman nagiging exorcist ako everytime na magkikita kami. Hayyy...I'm so lucky.

Amen,

SINNED

FISH REPORT

Dear Kuya Conrad, Ate Weng & Cute na Trisha,

Before anything else I am proud to tell you that your apartment is still there after you left you entrusted me with your key! => Everything is doing great with regards to the watering of your house plants. Infact, and probably when you return, all of them will still have the same number of leaves. I taped the brown ones that had fallen and colored them to get that natural effect. I did a great job with the leaves that some of them looks like Malunggay leaves.

With regards to the fish...I fed them more that 2 times in a week. The look very hungry, especially the black one which I fondly call "Boy Hito" or "Nog-Nog".

On my second visit at your apartment, I was surprised to see one of your fish doing the backstroke. I thought it was funny but when I looked closer it was missing its tail! Sanabagun!!! I think there is foul play in your aquarium. None of the other fish will admit who ate the little, so I decided to cut the oxygen and the water filter until they talk. Joke! I didn't cut the oxygen and the water filter! Hehehehe! But I was serious about the dead fish. Sorry! I'll make sure to get a replacement when we go to Geant.

I hope my sad news didn't spoil your vacation.

Love,

Dennis

MASTERMIND

A few days ago I recieved a text message from my friend entitled "News Flash", regarding our former boss appearing on the Filipino daily news program. I felt like I was struck by lightning when I read it. Then after reading it, I have to scroll back and re-read it again. How can a rich bastard become a criminal? Not just a criminal who killed a person by impulse, but a person who plans his crimes well.

It was about 6 years ago when I met him. He was young, handsome and thought to be one of the coolest boss in the hospital for his ability to get along with his staff. There was even a time when I was called to his office to explain why I forgot to punch in my time card. I told him that it was a mistake that I forgot punch in. He told me that I dont need to explain much further, and that I should never do it again. The meeting ended with a handshake and a full respect from the new HRD boss.

The next day after the text message, I saw the news for myself. His picture flashed briefly on the tube, I knew it was him but Im still in disbelief. The man that I once worked with is the mastermind of the "Valleverde Gang". And again I asked myself "What the hell is wrong with them? Isn't being born rich a good reason to live decent life?"

Baron de Grimm

"We are obsessed by the idea of regulation, and our Masters of Requests refuse to understand that there is an infinity of things in a great state with which a government should not concern itself." - Baron de Grimm

EVE OF WW3

It is a very disturbing news when I read the news from a certain website that the UN announced that we may be in the eve of World War 3. Apparently, Iran, Syria and Hamas is cooking something evil. You guys suck!

My personal battle (NO! IM NO CLOSET QUEEN!) with the forces of Bureaucracy has not yielded any fruit since I started it. You guys suck!

Peace!

THE HONEYSPOT PRODUCTIONS

A few weeks ago I decided to go pro on my so called craft. I have produced several music videos (slideshow type) and one full length tribute video (Janers Farewell Video). So far everybody is happy with this backyard projects of mine, right?

This week I launched my premiere video of Ali and Sarah...a sort of gift of mine to my good buddy Sarah to her cousin who is getting married. It has recieved a good review from the people who viewed it. And according to Sarah's mom I already had a booking with one of the cousins....oh how I wish!

Some people asked me if I can do moving videos instead of a slideshow. I told them that there is a certain advantage of doing a slideshow especially if they are realtime candid pictures. One is that not everyone can be good actors. With pictures you can cheat that by just posing for a few seconds. Most of us cant really act for more than a minute, we always break into laughter. Good pictures can be brought to life by a good storyline and an effective but meaningful background music.

So to those who want to avail of my services you can contact me at my email

sinneddc@yahoo.com.

Just leave your number and I'll call you back asap.

WALA LANG

testing.....there is something wrong with my blog....

CONSUMER REPORT


Two months ago we purchased an HP 2613 computer. It will practically do everything except make coffee. I don't have any problems with regards to its printing. I can say that it rivals the prints that comes from the shop. Scanning is also very easy to do. You can even scan a text document and edit it. No need to retype it because of its I.R.I.S. technology.

But last week the LCD stopped working. No remedy from the HP Certified Online Technician can help me. All they can tell me in the end is that "its a hardware issue", which I don't really understand. I guess the best advice that they gave me is to send it to the Authorized Service Center. In this case its the Zayani shop along Sitra. The service personel were very assuring that it will be fixed. It only needs about a week because the new spare will be coming from Dubai. Who cares for 2 weeks if they will bring my LCD to life, right? And afterall, I am entitled to a "free service". It says so on the warranty. No need to worry about payments.

But after a week they called me to say that they didn't fix my printer, but instead they are giving me a new one. It was far better than what I expected. Imagine a new printer? But I knew that its too good to be true. When me and my wife got to the HP center they gave us a printer wrapped in plastic. No more new printer smell...it isn't new!!! We asked why it isn't new, but all they could tell us is that with this kind of model they dont repair it anymore. Models like this gets shipped to Dubai and replaced by an old refurbished unit. We tried to reason with them that this isn't fair. AFterall, our unit is only two months old. The one that they were giving us is probably older. It has scratches all over and a nick to one end of the scanner cover.

Even when we called the Manager Mr. Mohammed Shafi, he told us the same thing. But regardless of his reply, I thanked him for his help, and that I hope Mr. Zayani reads the Gulf Daily Newspaper. He said "Thank you". We chuckled afterwards and took the refurbished printer. Lets just see what happens after I wrote the editor of GDN.

MINUS ONE


Shortly after I took this photo the memory of an old ice cream commercial came to mind. Remember that old one, when two kids were separated after the boys family moved to another place? The little boy asked "Eh sinong best friend mo dun?" The other boy replied "Syempre ikaw!" Cute.

According to Prof. Water Bayubay of FEU, it's his commercial. Yep! He claimed this one to be his when I reviewed for the Med. Tech Board at Pioneer Review Center. Apparently, the other boy was Gary Valenciano. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but it would have been a nice memory to keep.

Have you ever been separated from your childhood friend when you were a kid? It's tough. Maybe because these are the years that we need someone to share the changes in our lives with.

When it was time to say goodbye to Ate Raquel and the family last night, we didn't really have a problem letting go, because we know that they are going to be in a nice place. But after seeing Mariam and Trisha say goodbye for the last time while, each one was separated by a steel barricade at the airport...man that really had our tear jerked from our eyes. It's sadder than the two mice that sang James Ingram's "Somewhere Out There".

The best of luck to Ate Raq's and the rest of the family. May you find what you are looking for in Canada. We'll miss you all!

DECADE

...how do you measure a year?

It was 10 years ago when I graduated from college. At this time I was still in disbelief about the facts of life. If I didn't hold on to one out of a million of my dreams, then probably I won't be here posting this blog. I'm not suicidal! I'm just thinking that I would have strayed in a different path. Who knows? Maybe I could have been a priest...

It was 10 years ago when I became serious in a relationship. And it was also 10 years ago that I decided not to become serious with my relationships. (uy bawi agad!) I learned that I was still very young to decide on that matter for fear of the word "Marriage". (sabi ko na nga ba pang-priest ako e..) By this time they are already giving away discount cards to motels in Mendiola and Recto.

It was 10 years ago when I passed the Medical Technology Board Exam. (Panis!) I didn't get the highest score but I passed! I ran out of the house wearing my underwear to buy 3 copies of the Manila Bulletin when I got the call from a friend that I am in the passers list.

It was 10 years ago when my mother had breast cancer. She had to undergo 2 surgery's because the first doctor that she went to is not qualified to remove her right breast. I wish I sued that OB-GYNE for malpractice.

It was 10 years ago when I played rythym guitar in band. We won first prize at a battle of the band contest in Malabon. I miss my band-mates!

It was 10 years ago when I got employed at a hospital in E. Rodriguez, Q.C. We had the best line up of cool staff in the lab. If we hadn't have any financial problems (like the rest of the masses.) we wouldn't have left that place. The management sucks, but we rock!

To be continued...

Teka lang may patient pa ako...

COOL SONG

Enough of Cat Stevens "Father and Son"! I heard a new song to replace it in my favorite song list. Heard it from Crazy Kevins radio program one morning. Its very remeniscent of James Taylor by with the cool lyrics. If you have time you can download the mtv and music from its official website. The mtv worth downloading. It makes me want to copy the background design to replace our own. The name of the song is "JCB" by Nizlopi. Check it out!

MY SHOT GLASS COLLECTION


Some people collect stamps. Some collect antiques. My friend from college collect girlfriends. I on the other hand collect shot glasses. Yes. Because I learned my lesson from collecting different kinds of liquor...they don't seem to last! But not all shot glasses are worth collecting. I started mine when my friend Sarah brought home a shot glass that lights up when you tilt it. Cool eh?? Then I bought my own from Hong Kong and Starbucks SM City branch. Later on Sarah and Hameed got me a pewter from their honeymoon trip to Thailand. So far the my collection stopped from there, thats why I'm reviving my collection from today. Does anybody care to give me one?

EL CHUPACABRA

No matter how hard I try, I just can't get over this overwhelming feeling for my new boss. I couldn't even compose a blog about him...but I'll try.

Dear Boss,

You are a plague.

Love,
Employee of the month
