Sandara Park Returns!

Former Philippine teen sensation Sandara Park, now a famous member of the Korean girl group 2NE1, returned yesterday to the country that once loved her and had forgotten her eventually drove her back to South Korea. Sandy could have stayed there, but she chose to spend her two-week vacation here. Now you see her on our local television once again interviewed and got to perform on a morning show. Aren't you guys ashamed? After droving her away, you welcomed her back happily because she's popular in South Korea now. Sandy could have chosen not to come here, but as every first love, she chose to return to the country that will never be removed in her heart.

Not Everyone Experience a Happy Ending

Here I am again blogging about the pain I've felt because of loving someone. It's like becoming a cliche, a cycle in my life. I met girl, got to know her, become friends, got to know her more, fell in love, confessed, get dumped, retry, get dumped, retry, fail. I had two REAL relationships before (not a full romantic relationship, but you get the picture). The first one was my college friend, we were close, but she got closer to my other friend. Second was my co-employee, well she got closer to my other co-employee. The current err.. the last one, whom I've been courting for almost two years now was different. She was my student before, wait, before you violently react, I knew her before she was a student, so technically I fell in love with her brfore she became a student. Of course, many reacted with the situation and that did not even spare her. She wanted to be "just friends" due to the complication of our situation, I was her teacher, she was my student. I agreed with the condition that outside school, I could court her. The time came when I finally resigned as a teacher and the barriers between us were lifted. But, then she was still reluctant and I can't blame her for that. Eventually, we had like an understanding, We were like a real couple but we didn't recognize our relationship as a romantic one. All was well, when one day she told me she had a special someone. Too bad it wasn't me. After that, I suddenly realized there's now a void between us. She rarely texted me and those messages were just replies to my questions, no more than that. I guess, happy time's over. She finally got to meet her TRUE love and to her, I'm now just her friend, not even a close or even a best friend. I guess I never got to have the one with the glass slipper...so much for happily ever after.

Internet downtime due to Japan's Quake

Internet service across Asia suffered a slowndown to downtime connection today which was traced to Japan's earthquake yesterday. The said earthquake damaged the APCN2 (Asia Pacific Cable Network 2) which services the Singapore- Malaysia and China -Taiwan fault. The said cable system will be fully repaired on August 14, 2009. APCN2 consortium is now trying to implement the APCN2 catastrophic plan for dual failure in these segments and APCN2 NOC is now doing the mapping and manual patching in concerned stations.

The Recent Issue with Willie Revillame

For those who are not aware, Wowowee was being aired while a sidebar was there showing the funeral of the recently deceased Tita Cory, There was a point when Willie Revillame, the host of Wowowee allegedly asked the management to remove the sidebar while Wowowee was airing. This made a lot of violent reactions in the media, fans of Willie and Tita Cory supporters were enraged by Willie's statement. Now, I am not here to defend or judge the guy. I am here just to point out something. Is it really appropriate to broadcast simultaneously a noon time variety show and a funeral of a national icon? Are these two contradicting each other? Who in the right mind do such a thing? Are you gonna laugh at the funny jokes of Willie while you see the camera showing people grieving over a fallen hero? What I'm saying is, you should not just only blame Willie here, the ABS-CBN management should have cancelled Wowowee or air the funeral instead.

The Day That I Played Dota Again

After 2 years of being deprived from DotA (Defense of the Ancients) I got the chance to play again yesterday with my officemates. I sucked terribly. I was shocked with all the changes that took place since my absence. New heroes, new hero skills, new recipes, new items, new layout and a lot more. The first game I chose Mortred as my hero and before, I can dominate with her (she's my first ever character and favorite, hence my Friendster background). But yesterday wasa different story, I'm supposed to build a power threads but I end up one ingredient short, turns out, you need another item for the threads, The bracer was the same, but it took me a while to find the ingredients because the shops were rearranged.. I guess I need to practice again so I can keep up with my officemates. Better download the new maps.
