Tell Me About Yourself Award

This is one of three awards I received from Albert of How to become an Einstein?  I feel honored kasi kahit na bago pa lang ako sa pagba-blog, nakatanggap na ako ng mga awards na kagaya nito. Ako na kaya? Weh!

Here are the rules for receiving this award:
1. I must tell 7 things about myself
2. I must pass it on to 15 other bloggers

Here are 7 things about myself:
1)  I have already resolved that it doesn't matter if I would live to be a soltero all my life.
2)  I don't watch TV because in my opinion, 90% of what is being shown on TV is trash.  
3)  I love food, even though I'm a bread person.  I can live on bread alone.
4)  No softdrinks.
5)  Re-beginning mountainbiking.
6)  I have a set of weights which has been resting under my bed for almost 20 months now.
7)  Maong, t-shirt, rubber shoes.

Gusto ko lang po ipaalam na ang site ng MgaEpal.com ay na-hack, subalit na-recover ng moderators, the 4 Ninjas, and kanilang domain name na http://www.mgaepal.com.

The hackers are operating a mirror site under the domain http://www.awtz.net, pero kung papansinin ay malayung-malayo ang personalidad ng site sa original.  Mapapansin din po ang kaibahan sa kanilang Facebook pages.  Dahil po kahit na hack ang site,  the hackers do not have the brains of the original creators.

Nakuha din po ang kanilang Facebook page, which has more than 60,000 likes.  Ang page po ng hackers ay https://www.facebook.com/pages/MgaEpalcom/411540705610

Nakagawa na po ng bagong page ang 4 Ninjas, ang https://www.facebook.com/mgaepalpage.

Sa mga naka-like pa po sa old Facebook page, please unlike and transfer to the new page of MgaEpal, https://www.facebook.com/mgaepalpage.

Sa mga followers naman po ng http://www.awtz.net, please stop following and revert to http://www.mgaepal.com.

Let Us Help This Couple in Distress

As I was surfing the internet last night, I chanced upon the blog of a couple.  They are seeking help so that their ordeal of almost two years may end.  Someone is trying to extort money from them.  Please take time to read their blog and the least that we can do to help is to post their blog in our Facebook accounts or other social networking sites until their case reaches the proper authorities.

Bakit Bawal?

Kung nakakasugat ang makunan ng litrato, gutay-gutay na yung guard. Hahaha!!!

Here is my previous reblog:
Repost: Bawal Daw Mag-Kodakan sa Monumento ni Rizal - HALLER!!! 

This one is from MgaEpal:

Bakit Bawal Dito?

Takbo, Gloria, Takbo!!!

I found some pictures making fun of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in braces.  Gustung-gusto ko i-post dito yung pics dahil nakakatawa talaga.  Masarap pagtawanan kasi nakakainis siya.  Pero naisip ko, matanda na siya at may sakit.  Naisip ko tao din siya.  May damdamin din siya.  Kahit walanghiya.  Hindi ko na iisipin ang pagkatao niya dahil baka magbago ang isip ko at i-post ko mga litrato niya dito.  Iisipin ko na lang matanda na siya.  Yung hustisya, bahala humabol sa kanya.  Tumakbo na lang siya ng tumakbo.  Hanggang hukay na pagtakbo.

Dahil nga hindi na ako magpo-post ng pictures niya, tingnan niyo na lang yung post ng ibang bloggers.

Laurence Is My Name

I love my name. I don't know if you love yours as much as I do mine, pero hindi naman ako obsessed. Ok, siguro obsessed ako, hindi ko lang na-realize. Noon, ang akala ko, napaka-unique ng pangalan ko. Akala ko ako lang ang may pangalang "Laurence," pero nung high school ako, ang dami kong kapangalan sa school. Tanggap ko na rin na hindi unique ang pangalan ko, na marami kaming Laurence dito sa mundo.

Ikaw, pag may kapangalan ka, ano ang una mong ginagawa? Ako, tinitingnan ko kaagad kung siya ay guwapo. Ewan ko, kasi meron akong mind set na kapag "Laurence" ang pangalan mo, kailangan ay guwapo ka. In fairness, sa lahat-lahat ng nakita kong kapangalan ko, masasabi ko na 99.9% kaming puro guwapo. Kung di ka naniniwala, i-Google mo, o kaya ay i-search mo sa Facebook. (Singit lang: partida, first name pa lang yan. Try mo i-Google o search sa FB ang Laurence Lee. Madami kami.)

Ang iba, alam nila kung bakit sila pinangalanan ng pangalan nila. Merong pinangalanan base sa kung sino ang presidente nung ipinanganak sila. Kaya ang daming Ferdinands. Meron ding pinalanganan base sa mga syllables ng mga pangalan ng tatay at nanay nila. Merong pinangalanan ayon sa kalendaryo. Ako, di ko alam kung bakit Laurence ang ibinigay sa aking pangalan, pero nagpapasalamat pa rin ako na iyon ang ibinigay sa akin. Nagpapasalamat din ako at hindi ako naging "junior." Parang ang awkward isipin kung ang pangalan ko ay "Florencio." (Sumalangit nawa.)

Bilang isang Laurence, ang kadalasang tawag sa akin ay Rence. Pinaiksi. May tumawag din sa aking Lo. Okay lang sa akin yung mga palayaw na nabanggit ko. May naisulat na ako tungkol sa mga tawag sa akin sa isang post ko. Pwede mong basahin iyon dito My Blog Name.

Ang pinakamahirap na naranasan ko sa pagkakaroon ng pangalang Laurence ay kung may kausap ako sa telepono at tinanong ang pangalan ko. Kadalasan ang naririnig nila sa phone ay "Loren." Ewan ko kung bakit di nila naririnig ang "s" sa huli. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko bibigkasin ang pangalan ko para marinig nila ang "s." Naisip ko na kapag tinanong ako kung ano ang pangalan ko, ang isasagot ko ay "Laurenzzzz," o kaya ay kagaya sa mga hapon - Laurensu.

Isa pa ay ang pag-spell ng pangalan ko, halimbawang tanungin ako sa mga fastfood dahil pending ang order ko. Mali-mali ang spelling ng Laurence na nakalagay sa resibo, depende kung ano ang kanilang ethnicity. Parang ang pinakamadaling gawin kapag tinanong ako sa fastfood o kaya ay sa coffee shop ng, "May I have your name, Sir?" ay sagutin sila ng, "Mike."

Repost: Bawal Daw Mag-Kodakan sa Monumento ni Rizal - HALLER!!!

Dapat piniktyuran din nila yung guard na nagbawal sa kanila. At kung sino man ang may pakana ng pagbabawal na iyan, dapat ikalat ang kanyang litrato sa pahayagan, sa internet, sa TV, at kung saan pa. Tingnan natin kung di siya umani ng katakut-takot na mura mula sa sambayanang Pilipino.

It Pays to Take Typing 101

Touch typist ako.  Ibig sabihin, nakakapag-type ako nang hindi tumitingin sa keyboard.  Hindi naman perfect ang skill ko, dahil hindi ko kabisado ang numbers, or yung first top row ng keyboard (but I can touch type in the numeric keypad).  I took my first lessons in typing in high school.  May kanya-kanya kaming dalang portable typewriters noon for typing class.  Noong college naman, merong provided Olympia typewriters sa Typing 101.  I enjoyed my typing class, lalo na sa college.  We had to type in time with our prof's beat.  She used a huge stick to hit the blackboard with three successive beats, paused, and repeated the beats.  We had to type without looking at the keyboard.  Kailangan ang mata mo nakatutok sa typing book.  Imagine mo kung gaano kaingay ang typing class.

There are lessons in typing na naging habit ko na.  Like typing one space after a comma, and typing two spaces after a period.  Nung nauso ang computers, I have to relearn how hard I type kasi, noong college, kailangan malakas ang fingers mo pag-type sa Olympia typewriter dahil hindi babakat sa papel yung letra pag mahina ka mag-type.  Hindi ko alam kung may typing classes pa rin ngayon.  Ang alam ko, karamihan ng mga nagco-computer ngayon e tuldok system ang gamit.  Na-appreciate ko ang ganitong skill lalo na kapag nagsusulat ako ng compositions kagaya nito.  Sunod ang fingers ko sa flow ng utak ko.  Hindi ako nadi-distract ng paghahanap ng mga letra sa keyboard.  Pero nagulat ako sa kapatid ko.  Touch typist siya sa cellphone.  Nakakapag-text siya ng hindi nakatingin sa keypad ng cellphone kahit may ginagawang iba o may kausap na iba,  Madami din ako nakitang may ganitong skill.  Panahon nga naman.  Things change.

If you want to invest some time in learning touch typing, you can go to Free Typing Game . Tiyaga lang.

Reblog: Blood Stains, the Smell of Disinfectant and the RH Bill

I wrote this piece not to convince people to support the RH bill but to explain where my passion for RH came from. I wanted to show the world the unbelievable conditions I have seen with my own eyes that made me believe that this bill is indeed needed by our people. It's up to the readers what they think but let it suffice to say that this is what is happening in our country and that we can do something about it. - Author
