Catch the Differences

This is the game that Mokey introduced to all of us yesterday in Town Center. We got to almost the final stage, not only because of several continues, but also because several pairs of eyes (six or seven) were helping out to look for the differences between the pictures.

Empty Offices

The staff are having their yearly recollection today, having been in the campus only for the morning.

That means the teachers are left with the responsibility of locking the labs after our classes, while the other services (library, registrars) are closed. This is just one of several half-baked ideas being implemented here.

Selfishness Goes On...

Second time I'm using a demotivational poster to prove a point.

{Ahem, where was I?} Continued from yesterday...

She could have just said no. I didn't go to her birthday party, and not just because she wasn't going to serve anything that I could eat. She even had the gall to tell me then to just go "for her".

She had already said yes when my friend (the one supposedly courting her) asked her. Then she backed out, and said she would only go if I invited her.

What a user. She doesn't ride with us going to school because she now knows her being late inconveniences a lot of people in the car pool. But she still rides with us at night when there are other drivers she could ride with if she really wanted to stick to her principle.

And what principle would that have been? Not abusing my friend's kindness when she has no intention of saying "yes" to him.

And now that she's told them about her stand, she's made them suspect there is a conflict between us, when I, all this time, have not even said a single word against her to them.

It's just between her and me, and she doesn't even have the decency to approach me about it, instead just choosing not to ride with us anymore where I'll see more of her bad behavior she doens't want to change. Yeah, that's the way to deal with your problems.

The Fifth Wheel

I think my friend already suspects that I don't like the girl he is "courting" because she is inconsiderate of others.

But it didn't stop him from asking is she could join us on the day I'm supposed to treat this long weekend.

I just told him "It's up to you."

So much for enjoying that day then. I'll just lavish spending more on the other people along that I like then.

Oh, No! It's Back Again



Thought I was done with this game, being content with finishing the GBA versions, but now I just got them for the PC. More inane Easter eggs than the ice skating Wompa and the Jarjar Binks dummy targets, is what I'm looking forward to.

Beware the Mutated Catfish

Best monster film I've seen this year, and it doesn't follow Hollywood formulaic storytelling. Just get the subtitled version though, the English dubbed one shown in local cinemas is bad.

Is It the Rose of Mohammed All Over Again?


Last year the Moslems were all fanatically up in arms about a Danish newspaper printing what they claimed to be an offensive caricature of the prophet.

Now we have something similar brewing against a show all about promiscuity, murder along with other criminal activities and eccentric suburban behavior, asking for an apology. Most of these probably still have self-proclaimed Divalicious outcry hangover.

People can threaten to get their demands (and may get it, just to shut them up. How sincere is it then?), but it doesn't take away the fact that they're oversensitive and care more about what other people say about what they do than they do about actually doing a good job regardless of what everyone else thinks.

Where are the Marcos supporters rallying from all the jabs made by Hollywood against Imelda and her extravagant lifestyle? None to be seen.

I wonder if the reaction would have been so united if they had talked about nurses instead.
