wala lang

kapag wala kang nakikita, ang nakikita mo ay wala.

kapag wala kang ginagawa, ang ginagawa mo ay wala.

kung gayon, ang wala ay binubuo ng mga mumunting pangyayari o gawain na tila walang kabuluhan. o hindi binibigyang kabuluhan.

doon marahil gawa ang black hole. ang black hole na mas malapit kaysa sa ating akala.

Pick-up Lines for the Java Geeks Out There

"Are you an exception? Let me catch you."

"public class YourWorld extends MyWorld"

"Are you an applet? You make me feel all GUI (gooey) inside."

"You are my loop condition. I keep coming back to you."

"Buti pa ang Strings, nag-mamatch."

"Buti pa ang data type, may value."

"Buti pa ang Swing components, may Listeners."

"Are you a double? The thought of you always floats inside my head."

Check out Kaba Modern

If you know me well, you know I'm close to my niece who's in high school. The cool thing about that is that she always has someone to nag her about her studies, and I always have someone to remind me that I still have a lot to learn (okay, sige, baka nga lugi siya dun...).

For this weekend, Ikay "nagged" me to check out America's Best Dance Crew in youtube. It's sort of the American Idol for street dance. You have to check out this one college group, Kaba Modern. Their choreography is slamming; I particularly like the way they end their routines. Again, it sent me to this spell of regret on why I didn't pick up on sports & dancing earlier, but hey, that's the beauty of today, right? Good thing Ikay's around. =)

for a change

i got to take part in a Trainor's training last week (for which I'm very grateful for); however, as expected of the typical Ish, i found myself totally unprepared for it. i had no training module, i had no slides, all the "training plans" i've had had no semblance of, well, a plan. good thing a co-trainee was able to give me some in-house training slides for Goal Setting 101 to work with.

and in the end, it worked out well. i even got sold on my own training -- i suddenly had this urge to set some measurable & time-bounded goals for 2008 (sheesh, could i sound yuppie-er?). for someone who never got around to setting goals -- whether it was for the new year or for the PPR -- this is big. they say that if you broadcast your goals, then you're more likely to stick to actually doing them, so here goes:

1. Drink milk everyday.
2. Learn how to dive and get certified. (Anyone up for the same thing? =))
3. Run for 10k without stopping.
4. Go to 12 awesome sites in the Philippines I've never been before. (I've already got 3 down.)
