spambots suck!

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

i’m being attacked by comment spams urging me to buy viagra, sony ericsson (which I already have), and cialis (which i don’t). it’s really annoying since i have to moderate all of them and my ratio of bonafide comments to spams is like 1:10 1:40. i had to take drastic measures and install more comment plugins which could mean that bonafide comments would be marked as spam, therefore, they won’t reach me. did i already mention that i hate spam?

light a candle

Got this from darra

The innocent victims of Internet child abuse cannot speak for themselves.

But you can.

With your help, we can eradicate this evil trade.

We do not need your money.

We need you to light a candle of support http://www.lightamillioncandles.com

We’re aiming to light at least One Million Candles by December 31, 2006.

This petition will be used to encourage governments, politicians, financial institutions, payment organisations, Internet service providers, technology companies and law enforcement agencies to eradicate the commercial viability of online child abuse.

They have the power to work together. You have the power to get them to take action.

Please light your candle at http://www.lightamillioncandles.com or send an email of support to light@lightamillioncandles.com

Together, we can destroy the commercial viability of Internet child abuse sites that are destroying the lives of innocent children.

Kindly forward this email to your friends, relatives and work colleagues so that they can light a candle too.

Yes, it’s just the start of the week

My body hurts like fuck! I am so getting a massage tonight. I guess this goes with growing old. Hell! I’m only 28 and I ache all over.

Plus I have a big boil on my butt. Ouch!

Update…finally

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

I haven’t been updating this blog much because of work. There’s also nothing else to write about except for “The Cure Night” I went to last Saturday at Saguijo. It was okay although it took me by suprise just a big since I was expecting the place to be full of goths instead of groupies. It turns out that different kinds of bands were invited to play. Maybe I should have asked around some more before I actually went there. The place was so fucking packed and you know how I hate crowded areas. It was also too loud…well just one band…and I ended up with an ear and a head ache. I really am too old for things like that. Somebody look for my dentures!

Other than the gig, nothing much has happened. That’s the life I live nowadays.

I need a replacement bulb!

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

The last balikbayan box has arrived. Yay! I’m reunited with my makeup and my cellphone charger. Most of the stuff in the box are mine. Old and new clothes, shoes, the makeup, charger, books, etc. Also in the box is the nice Espressivo lamp I bought from Ikea. Maybe it’s stupidity but I plugged the lamp in a 220 volt outlet. I was perfectly aware that electronics and appliances in the US use 110 volt mostly. I read the literature included in the package and no mention of 110 or 220 there. Nothing in the box either. So I took a chance and plugged the damn thing, hoping that it will work and not bust the bulb. Well the bulb is busted now and I need a replacement 20v Halogen bulb for it. Damnit! I should have bought spare bulbs in Ikea. Or better yet, Ikea should open a store in this third world country!

ikeabulb.jpgMaybe there’s a kind and generous reader out there who is willing to get some bulbs for me? I still have paypal but there’s no money in my bank account. In fact, I owe Bank of America a little more than $100. I’m trying to get my aunt to deposit $200 in my account since she lives in the US. I’m digressing already. So anyway, please I want to get the lamp working. I hope somebody will help me with this nuisance. I would be so grateful!!!

Tangnang senti

romancebook.jpgI’ve been feeling “senti” lately. By that I mean I miss being in a romantic relationship. Maybe it’s just my hormones acting up but I find myself getting wistful sometimes. I don’t like the feeling but what can I do, right? It’s just been too long since I had any hookups or anything remotely romantic. Haaay buhay! Damnit! I want companionship, affection, public displays of affection, and all that shit. I SUCK when it comes to matters of the heart and guys I like aren’t attracted to me. The ones who gravitate toward me are yucky. Like this guy on the floor where I work in. He keeps on smiling at me. I’m not exactly sure if he likes me likes me. He was leering at me last week and I thought he mistook me for somebody else but it happened again this afternoon. Okay, not really leering but more of smiling. Still, scary guy. How do I go about attracting the guys I actually like without changing myself much? I need tips so comment on this especially those in a relationship. Or better yet, find me a rich and handsome boyfriend. Hehe

one of those days

Fuck! I’m agitated today. I don’t really know what I’m feeling but I guess it’s a mixture of anger, guilt, and feeling really rotten. I just feel like this big loser for some reason. I also didn’t go to work today because I lack sleep. I feel guilty for that but what can I do? I really have a hard time sleeping but mom won’t understand that. So I hate myself right now.

the makings of a rock star

I caught Rockstar:Supernova while channel-surfing for something good to watch and was totally blown away with Dilana’s performance. She’s fucking amazing! She covered Nirvana’s Lithium and eventhough she just stood still throughout most of the song, she was so intense that it didn’t matter. I’m so totally rooting for her even if I couldn’t vote for her cos the show is broadcast live at 8:30 am and I could only watch the replays. I love her and I hope she wins.

Today was so boring at work. Ugh. I didn’t do anything except email something for mom. That’s it. It’s easy money, yeah, but I want more action. Just looking at other people as they do their work is a bit depressing. It’s also embarrassing and makes me wonder what the others think of me.

hurray

This will be quick. The laptop and my ipod are now here so yay! Unfortunately, my makeups are in the balikbayan box so I will get those next month. I would have to use the crappy makeup I left here.
