From Home Alone to Junior
Friday, April 13, 2007
Gusto kong maging author. Author ng isang libro na babasahin ng lahat ng taong marunong magbasa. I-revise ko kaya ang bible. Hehe.
Speaking of books, may libro na pala si Macaulay Culkin. Yup si Kevin sa Home Alone ay isa na ngang author. Tinawag nya ang kanyang libro na "Junior".
Bakit Junior? Ba ewan ko sa kanya. Hindi naman kami close para tanungin ko. Pero baka pag binasa yun ay eventually ieexplain dun. May hawig kay Bob Ong ang estilo ng pagulat nya. Yung tipong anything goes. May mga erasures effect pa within the context of the book.
Noong 2005, nagtestify pa nga si Mr. Culkin sa court for Michael Jackson's case. Sabi nya na he had never been molested by Jackson and he thinks na outrageous yung mga charges againts him.
Ilang bag of marijuana and Xanax kaya ang pinangako ni Michael Jackson kay Mr. Culkin?
Anyways... back tayo sa libro.
May kamahalan yung libro. Mahal sya para sa aking walang trabaho at kasalukuyang humuhutuhot lamang sa magulang. Sabi sa review:
This book consists of disjointed paragraphs, childish drawings, serious father issues, and a wide variety of page layouts. But the fact that it was written by a former child star and current indie actor whose battles with his father are well documented lends an overarching semiautobiographical theme that ties these pieces together into snapshots of Culkin's celebrity life. Calling this title fiction may be a bit of a stretch. There's no plot, although there are several recurring stories about Monkey Monkey Boy, former child star. The book is more a journal written by a fictional character named Junior, and it reads exactly like one. Now 25, the author may or may not have written this as part of a therapeutic process. (He drops hints that he has.) His emotions are certainly laid bare. Culkin touches on such issues as how you become who you are, how every little thing that happens to you matters, and how you make the transition to adulthood. Teens who are journaling can find a lot of inspiration in his insights. Those who have enjoyed his movies will find this peek into his soul fascinating.
Kung sino man si Monkey Monkey Boy ay hindi ko na alam. Tulad ng sinabi ko kanina, hindi kami close ni Mac.
Ang pinagtataka ko lang... bakit kaya sya naging kung sino sya ngayon? I mean, from this to this??? Well, ika nga... walang paki-alamanan. Kaya pede ba Rob! Wag kang makialam!

Adios Quotebox
Friday, December 29, 2006
As you may have noticed, my quotebox's no longer functioning the way it supposed to. No more wise sayings from Dilbert, no more cute but deep thoughts from whoever he is.
I knew it!
Blogista no longer exists. This means there will be no more Komski quotebox, tag boxes and my blog would be the same old fart it used to be a year ago. (hehe)
Komski, if you are reading this, can you please get another host so that we may continue using your services and your God given talent in web programming would not gone to waste.
Its new year anyways...

Sino ba naman ang ayaw sa $pera$?
Sabi sa statistics, 95% ng world's population ang nagsasabing malaking parte ng buhay nila ang pera at 5% naman ang nagsisinungaling. Syempre imbento ko lang yan.
Pero this one... totoo to!
Some facts about my Tito Bill:- Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!
- If he drops a thousand dollar, he won't even bother to pick it up because the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned it back.
- The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.
- He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
- Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.
- If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.
- If you change all of Bill Gate's money to US$1 notes, you can make a road from the earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you have to make that road non-stop ! for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
- Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he goes to heaven.
- If Microsoft Windows users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years.
Haaaay... How I wish I am as rich as my Tito Bill.
But the thought of having all those money treasure scares me. Its like the more money you have the more problem you see. You'll be conscious of your security, the way you dress, the way you speak and more security. Its like the money you'll be earning will be useless. But come to think of Bill, he seems to be a happy man -- contradicting the saying that most of the rich people aren't happy at all.
Noong student pa si Bill, he is one of the geeks. Isa sya sa mga unnoticed people sa university and I think he was even bullied. Pero ngayon, yung mga bullies na yun they work for him... Kaya I agree with this quote:
"Don't mess with the geeks, because someday they will be your bosses."-anonymous
Back to the main topic... (wait what is my main topic???)
Let's just pretend that my main topic is that I have 500 Million pesos (I can't handle 1 Billion or more). What am I going to do with it???
I won't be a hypocrite and tell you that I am going to donate half of my money to the church or whatever foundation. I won't. Instead I am going to open a clothing store (yeah), probably something that would compete with Team Manila. At kapag nagsisimula nang lumago ang business ko, then that will be the time na mag dodonate ako.
Malamang bibili rin ako ng kotse. Pero I have no idea what car I should buy... Maybe the RAV4 2006 model or a Lexus or a Jaguar. My personal adviser would help me on that. *wink*
I'll also implement a wireless LAN throughout our house or should I say mansion???
TIVO and HDTV would be my entertainment companion. Everything would be automated careof Siemen's PLC technology. From the lighting to the ambience to the window panes and the motion sensor intruder system.
Pero sa reality... ang laman lang ng pitaka ko ay 134 pesos. Huhuhuhu! And *that* day is coming near na!
Sana bukas pag-gising ko may milyones na sa bag ko!!!
