Shit Happens!



"Murphy's Law" pala tawag dun sabi ni Ms Didith, sa eksenang 'anything that can go wrong, will go wrong'. Medyo naging hobby namin kasi sa opisina ang mag overtime ngayong mga nagdaang araw at hindi nakakatulong ang pabugso-bugsong panloloko ng technology. Parang nag conspire ang whole wide world universe at gabi-gabi kaming pinapahirapan sa mga task namin. Parang me mga kung anong bagay sa paligid namin ang tumatawa sa bawat kapalpakan na dumarating sa amin, at hindi lang basta tawa... halakhak mismo in the real sense of the word!


Mabuti na lang mahaba ang pasensya ko, nasabi ko na dati na mahaba ang pasensya ko di ba? Oo mahaba ang pasensya ko, yun nga ang sabi ko mahaba ang pasensya ko tsaka medyo me kakulitan din ako, para akong si Mike Enriquez na hindi tinatantanan lahat ng problema hanggang maiayos lahat sa tama. O e anong umagahin kami sa opisina, o e ano ngayon kung di ako makanood ng Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, o e ano kung di ako makapag blog?  basta maiayos ang lahat... ano ba ang nililitanya ko?


Yung printer kasi namin ang kulit


Ganito ang naging conversation ko sa printer namin


Ako: Ok print 'click'

Printer: Please check all printer connection.


Ako: ayks natanggal pala ang USB connection, ok print uli 'click'

Printer: Photo Printer 1390 not found.


Ako: Watdapak! (hinagilap ang installer software). Install. 'click'

Printer: Please close all running programs before starting installation.


Ako: Daming arte! Save document (mga 10 min save) close all programs. 'click'

Printer: Starting installation. Please wait while installation completes.


after 20 minutes


Ako: ayos! print na! 'click'

Printer: Please restart your computer.


Ako: ampooootaaaaah! Restart. 'click'


Mac's Key of C intro


Ako: Open program. Print 'click'

Printer: Replace K cartridge


Ako: mumble mumble bad word mumble mumble starts cursing... palit ng ink. 'click'

Printer: Please wait while printer reloads.


Ako: Atlast! Print! 'click'

Printer: Image is larger than the printable area, some clipping will occur.


Ako: Clipping mo muka mo, proceed na 'click'

Printer: Some PostScript specific print settings will be ignored since you are printing to a non-postscript printer. Proceed?


Ako: OO NA PRINT NA! 'click' 'click' 'click' 'click' 'click' 'click' 'click' 'click' 'click'



At ganyan nga ang malungkot na istorya namin ng printer ko, mahirap makipagtalo sa technology, di ko nga alam kung bakit ko kinakausap yung printer eh, minsan natatakot ako baka pag click ko ng 'Print' button sagutin ako ng printer tapos lumabas sa dialogue box na "Are you sure?" ... yay... mommy!


'click'

We Filipinos Are Mild Drinkers

Stumble upon this short story by National Artist for Literature Alejandro Roces (it's pretty long but trust me its a short story) on a book titled 'Panorama of World Literature for Filipinos',  i find this story amusing and funny at times. We may call the humor of Alejandro Roces as humor of exaggeration, the funny situations are laugh-provoking because they are... well... exaggerated hehe sometimes satirical. He wrote 'We Filipinos...' as a student of Arizona University and was first published in The Arizona Quarterly, i think it won him an award in literature from that university. So if you have a minute to spare read on. Happy reading!   We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers by Alejandro R. Roces WE Filipinos are mild drinkers. We drink for only three good reasons. We drink when we are very happy. We drink when we are very sad. And we drink for any other reason. When the Americans recaptured the Philippines, they built an air base a few miles from our barrio. Yanke...

It's not about you Carlo...

Antindi ng hype ke Carlo J sa pagiging National Artist nya, kung tutuusin naman eh hindi naman nya kasalanan talaga ng lubusan kung sya man ang mabigyan ng ganung parangal, ang me sala eh yung mga tao dun sa Malacanang particular yung petite na girl dun. Sila naman nag-singit sa kanya, sila naman ang gumawa ng bagong kategorya para s-swak sa kanya at sila naman nag parangal sa kanya so hindi naman siguro kasalanan ni Carlo J kung ano mang parangal ang tinanggap nya. Payo ko lang ke Carlo J, wag na nya masyadong i-defend yung sarili nya dahil nagmumukha syang… how would you say that?… pathetic?… tama nagmumukha syang pathetic, napanood nyo ba yung sa ANC? ( Carlo J at ANC ),dahil ang issue naman talaga eh hindi tungkol sa kanya (well partly tungkol sa kanya) pero ang talagang issue and ang questionable eh yung process na hinokus-pokus ng Malacañang, yung pagbale-wala sa original selection na ginawa ng CCP and NCCA committee, na kung hindi dahil sa minandyik na prose...

My Futile Attempt to Photography

Gutter droppings from makopa tree. Taken nung holy week, my auntie handed me 4 rolls of film, 24 exposure each 200asa, sayang naman, so i decided to unearth my rusty este trusty manual SLR, and click my boredom away. Most photos are taken from our neighbors house. Scanned sa office's Epson 4490 (the best!). The color is achieved by extending the selection bounderies of the scanner outside the negative margins, adjusted sa photoshop levels and sharpness and whooolaaaa, here's the result. You may call it art if you want to, i'm thinking otherwise hmmmmm.
