Money, money, money, ain't in funny?

Thursday, November 30, 2006

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:
  1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
  5. 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.
  6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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!!!

"Pssssst! Rob! Rob!"

"Huh??? Sinong tumatawag sakin? Nasan Ka??"

"Nandito ako sa loob ng utak mo! Wow ha... in fairness maluwag dito parang concert hall!"

"WHATEVER! Anong name mo?"

"Rob."

"Rob? Rob What?"

"Ah basta! Ako si Rob... and sometimes that's all you need to know."

"Ang taray mo naman..."

"WHATEVER! Oh kamusta yung nagdaang semester mo?"

"Ayun. Kung irarank ko from 1-10, 10 as the highest I'd give it a 6."

"6? Ang baba naman!"

"Yun talaga ang na feel kong rank para sakin. Isa pa yung mga plano ko hindi naman lahat natupad, nahihirapan akong magbigay ng mga commands sa mga tauhan ko. Hindi ko yata linya ang pagmamando ng galaw ng ibang tao. Mas gusto ko kasi sila yung mag kukusa. Yun kasi ang inaasahan ko. Pero kung mag kukusa man sila gusto ko, sinasabi din nila sakin yung mga ginagawa nila."

"Eh baka naman may managerial issues ka?"

"Baka nga... Minsan kasi gusto ko yung phasing ko ang nasusunod, although i've been open for suggestions. Baka nga may problema lang akong hindi nakikita... baka ako ang problema, baka siya ang problema, baka sila ang problema or worst baka kami ang problema."

"Matanong nga kita Rob... Naniniwala ka ba sa kasabihang 'A battalion of sheeps lead by a lion would beat the battalion of lions lead be a sheep?' "

"Boom tarat tarat boom tarat tarat..."

"HOY!"

"Ay Sorry na LSS lang! Ano ulit tanong mo?"

"GRRRRR!!!! Naniniwala ka ba sa kasabihang 'A battalion of sheeps lead by a lion would beat the battalion of lions lead be a sheep?' "

"Yeah... Dati sabi ko I would be a lion, at magpapaka agressive sa mga bagay. Pero kita mo nga naman, hindi lang yata ako naging sheep... chicken pa nga!"

"Gago ka Rob!"

"Awwww! Bakit nanaman?!"

"Hindi mo ba nakita yung mga pinaghirapan mo nitong nakaraang sem? You can say that you've chickened out... Pero ang tagal ko nang namamahay dito sa utak mo, at ako ang makakapag patunay na naduwag ka nga! Marahil hindi mo nagawa lahat ng plano mo, pero yung will na gawin ito at yung dedikasyon... Rob... ... ... ... Maraming nagtiwa sayo... ... Isn't that enought for you not to quit?"

"Ang O.A. mo tsong! Hindi naman ako mag-quiquit eh. Sinabi ko lang naman na may mga bagay na hindi lumabas ang pagiging lion ko."

"O sya, meron ka pang 2nd sem, yakang yaka mo yan! Basta isipin mo lang yung sinabi sayo ni pareng Ven."

"Salamat Rob!"

"Walang anuman Rob!... Oh, maiba tayo kamusta naman grades mo?"

"Ayos naman... mas mataas sya compare dun sa inaasahan ko."

"OH? talaga? Edi good for you!"

"Good for us. Natutuwa nga ako eh, dahil kahit papano, nairaos na yung mga projects. Kahit na hindi ganong ka kaganda ang kinalabasan, yung effort na binigay namin dun. Yun ang parte na hindi ko matatawaran."

"Ows? Kahit na ipagpalit ko sa N93?"

"NAMAN EH!"

"Hehehehe Joke lang!.... Ano gawa mo ngayon?"

"Hinihintay ko yung email ni Ms. Alfaro, yung magseseminar tungkol sa PLC."

"Ahhh... Maliban dun...?"

"Nakikinig ng Pinoy Dream Academy Vol 1 and 2. Wahihihihihihi!"

"HAHAHAHAHA! Rob ang jologito mo talaga!"

"Kunwari ka pa! Eh ikaw tong bulong ng bulong sakin na bumili nito! Fave mo pa nga yung Arigatou Tomodachi! Ayeee! Feeling mo naman naiintindihan mo yun?!"

"Hoy! Mr. Rob Ruiz! For your information, naiintindhan ko talaga yun!"

"WHATEVER!"

"Uy, masarap ka palang kausap noh?"

"Hihihi, ako din eh nageenjoy akong kausap ka... Therapeutic (tama ba sfeeling????)"

"Kamusta na kayo ni ****?"

"OK naman, magkatext kami lagi... CHANGE TOPIC!"

"Ahihihihi! Sino ba nakakakilala sa tunay na ****?"

"AKO lang."

"Baka naman imbento mo lang yan ha!"

"Sapok gusto mo?"

"Tanong lang nemen!!!! Wag kang guilty!"

"CHANGE TOPIC!"

"Uy Rob, hinaan mo yung sounds ng headphone mo, naririndi ako dito eh."

"Ay sorry Rob."

"Sino favorite blogger mo as of the moment ha?!"

"Uy good question! Kasi ang dami ko nang link sa blog ko, pero hindi lahat yung gusto ko, yung iba napilitan lang akong ilagay dun dahil mabait sila, kahit na hindi naman gaano interesting ang contents. Pero binabasa ko yan lahat! Promise! Kasi sa totoo lang, may natututunan ako sa ibang bloggers. Totoo yun! At yun palang, magandang dahilan na para maadik ako sa blog. Teka... eto na ang paborito kong blog. Ang paborito kong blogs ay yung kay Momel at Blacksoul"

"Bakit naman?"

"Si Momel, he writes well kasi... tsaka kahit na minsan malalim yung meaning... madali mo paring mahuhukay ang ibig sabihin. Tsaka hindi trying hard yung blog nya. Dang daming trying hard na blogs ngayon... ika nga ni Momel, mga traffic mongers."

"Eh si Blacksoul?"

"Natural kasi sya magsulat, tsaka matapang. Matapang at the same time nagpapakita ng weakness. Lam mo yun? Yung mararamdaman mong tao nga ang nagsusulat ng blog."

"Ahhh... ganon pala nga trip mong basahin..."

"Well, gusto ko rin minsan yung mga nakakatawa, yung mga senti, yung mga kwentong gitnang silangan, kwentong amerika, kwento ng mga teacher's pet, kwento ng mga teacher's pet's pet, kwento ng mga bading, kwento ng mga tomboy, kwento ng mga adik sa tecknolohiya, kwento ng mga estudyanteng future engineers, kwento ng mga Isko/Iska, kwento ng mga pogi at magaganda, kwento ng mga irregular students, kwento ng mga sosyal. At syempre para saan ba ang blog kundi para mabasa mo ang nakaraan... Kwento ko."

"Sana may PC din dito sa utak mo, gusto ko ring mag blog!!!"

"Bulungan mo nalang ako minsan, at itataype ko yun bilang entry natin."

"Haaaayyy... O sya, tinatawag na ako ni mama."

"Putangina! Ilan ba kayo jan?!"

"Waahahahahaha! Joke lang!"

*Rob has signed out*

habulin mong humahabol sakin

Saturday, September 23, 2006

The flood lights blinded the man on jeans with his tops tucked inside his pants. He deliberately covered his eyes with the bundle of paper he's holding. The flood light operator must have noticed this and lowered the ilumination.

He was a bit shaky, but managed to showed the crowd his composure. He lifted the microphone hoping that each word that he would be saying will be the ones that should be said.

But he was wrong! Dead wrong! Moments later he was talking non-sense! The crowed murmured - disgusted by what the man in jeans had said.

Suddenly, an old lady approximately on her late 70s, from the crowd stood up with her walking stick waving up high like a wild horse on amphetamines, she was babling curses to the man.

Damuho ka! Shouted the lady. Matha Fuckur! she continued.

The man pulled a gun from his pocket. And without a warning, pulled the trigger. BANG! the gun exploded, the bullet soared from the barrel and into the lady's chest.

A second had passed.. and no one had moved... two seconds... three... everyone was dumb struck with what they saw. They are thorn between the thought of being the next victim of the man on jeans and calling for help. Either of the two... they have no choice but to keep still.

The armed man stood still with the gun on his left hand, this time he can't keep his emotion... he was shaking. He opened his mouth, summoning all his spirits.

He broke the silence... with another BANG from his gun. He shot himself. There - lifeless.

Direk: OK Cut! Nice take! Pack-up na!

Alak, yosi atbp.

Its been a while na since our last inuman session, and i've been dying to sober up my self again. The feeling of dizziness is heaven and the ocassional intestinal regurgitation is an aphrodiziac.

Right??? NO! Since when did dizziness become heaven? And vomiting -- and aphrodiziac??? Duh! I'll better check my "boohoo" at the door!

Huhuhu! I soo miss the rooftop, the midnight air, the pep talk, the bullshitting, the jokes-are-half-meant, the jokes, the joker, the dancing, the POLE dancing, the pole dancing and falling (ROTFL) and of course the binder of them all:

Glory Hole???

Haha! Anyways, I have A LOT of pending post... Like the "kwentuhan ko kayo" post and "Life's Toughest questions" and to tell you, i think I'll be changing my layout again... hmmm... probably next week. But the template i'll be using woudn't be a new one.

I guess I'll end this post here... leaving you with this question:

If you were given the chance to choose the world's 8th wonder, what would it be and why?
