A Need to be Hungry

This title is not directed to starved countries - and that includes the Philippines, as much as the government want to delude you into believing otherwise. By all means, feed the hungry until the hunger goes away.

A harmonious world is a world where everyone can eat three meals a day. Much has been said about foods being the winners of hearts. Since last week, though, they couldn’t seem to win my heart.

I’m becoming anorexic.

Thanks to a less-than-competent hag, I’ve been having this cold for a week. For me, colds have always been mere bagatelle, and aside from giving me an uncontrolled overflow of mucous, I have never paid it much mind.

This time, though, my cold is different. I can tell. I need to feel a hunger before I eat. Since last week, I’ve never felt any hunger. I would go on many hours not eating, and would eat only because I felt that it was obligatory. And this is pretty bad. There are days when I see my favorite viands laid in front of me, yet I couldn’t consume them with my normal fervor, and eat only half as much as on normal days.

Yes, I can see that it’s making me lose weight, and I think I’ve become lighter than I was weeks before. But this is not how I want to lose weight. I want to lose weight by working out, by exercising until I have sweated profusely. It’s definitely healthier than not eating. I don’t want to go the way of Karen Carpenter.

What do I do?

My Friend Needs Help

Some time this year everyone was writing blog posts about singlehood frustrations. I think you know precisely in what month that happened. I was guilty of that myself. Right now, though, I feel that my private gripings about such occasion were such trivialties especially when I put myself in the shoes of my instructor from First Academy of Compuer Arts. My teacher Dennis taught me advanced HTML and if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t know how to use Dreamweaver. He recommended me the guidebook that I use whenever I’m stumped with coding HTML’s and CSS’s.

He’s a friend. Maybe I haven’t proven myself trustworthy enough for him, but I want to help him in his time of need.

And right now, he needs help. At the 13th of February, this year, his wife had an accident, and she has been confined in the hospital ever since that day. It’s June now and I don’t want to bother you with the mathematics, but I think you can tell from the length of time just how serious this accident is. The hospital requires Dennis to pay such an astronomical price, his savings aren’t enough. I’ve met him since that day and I have personally seen how much this predicament has affected him.

So I’m donating money. That’s the very little way I can help him out. And if you can help too, you can go to his blog and read the details.

Need Feedback Again

Gah, my most recent blog posts are stupendously long. I need to be more concise.

Feel the same way? Any suggestions on where I can improve? Then issue your grievances on my comment box!

Shanghai, Baby!

Hey all, 

I'll be going to Shanghai at December 21 and I'll be back at December 25. It will be my first time being at Shanghai,  so I'm looking for some helpful information about where I should go, what itineraries to follow, what travel advices to observe, and where to shop.

If anyone has experiences or knows a site - like a travel site or blog or something - I'll like it very much if you could help me out and enlighten me.

Feedbacks please?

Hey all.

I want to post new (and meaningful) entries on my blog, but it feels like my head's been buried under a pile of garbages. Damn mental blocks. I notice that it comes every time I'm experiencing a hangover from a long vacation (I didn't work on Nov 1 and 2, by the way).

So while I'm trying to kick that phantom bother out of my head, I figure that this is a good time for feedbacks. From you. Youse if from philly. Not the moronic, ubiquitous YOU who, while being recipient to Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2006, should be imputed with felony for making Paris Hilton an icon and Sean Kingston a chart-topper (God Almighty, what kind of “music” is “Beautiful Girls” anyway?!). I mean the you who are cultivated, enlightened and have a high breeding for reading my blog and tolerating all my junk.

Okay, back to serious.

I'd like to know what you think of my writing. Do I rock or do I ROCK? Am I “teh MAD SKILLZ” or am I “teh POSERS with NO STREET CRED, dawg!”? Err, wait, didn't I say I'm going back to serious?

What do you think of my writing? Do my topics interest you or would you like to see me write about something else? In what areas should I improve?

Be truthful. Do not be afraid to criticize and hurt my feelings as long as you're not spamming emails of girls who love animals or emails of erection pills. Either send me private messages or post on the comment box. I will read them and be thankful for them.

It's Your World (Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson)

Hey all.

In my web design course (I'm currently taking up their Dreamweaver subject) I was asked to create an architectural web page with a testimonial section.

I do not want to make the testimonials overly reverent or ultra-serious like those stone-faced actors of Jumong. Who needs that? I don't, especially since I'm creating a portfolio site of a German architect, Schufer Mann, who is merely a product of my screwed-up imagination. I'm skewing towards testimonials that are hilarious, ridiculous and puns-decorated. I also happen to be busy with other jobs, so if anyone could submit the kind of testimonials that I'm looking for, I promise to give you many thank-yous and I might give you something awesome if we end up meeting personally. ^_^

Here are some of the sample testimonials:

"Schufer Mann possesses visions envied by superheroes." - Tess T. Moni, Italian Designer

"Redefines postmodernism and turns avant-garde to savant-garde." - Eddy Oth, receipient of 2007's Nobull Prize

"I said it too many times, but he's a genius, genius, genius!" - Redd un Danci, CEO of Reap It Consultants

"His architects turn my life around, from 'oh dear' to 'oh great!'" - Aina Kho, society pages editor of Daily Dally

"That's hot!" - Aries Hilton, MENSA member

"He could create a wonderland where the rest of the world is Dorothy." - Booker Kristic, book critic

"He's capable of creating a Petronas in a single stroke!" Sir Price N. G. Lee, editor of Oh! Very State! magazine

"My man's the shiznit, dawg!" - Tuk Strit, Rapper of Straight Outta Tondo
