Alor Star

I thought i'm going to KL, but i have no choice after all. They want me in Alor Star under the state of Kedah, near the border of Malaysia and Thailand. They say Thailand is just a train away from there.

Still, my plans stay the same. I'd like to tour my family here in Malaysia. First, my brother when the Ramadan takes place in September, and then my mother and sister in December. (Teng, ayusin nyo na passport nyo hehe)

Small world

Friendster, facebook, myspace, multiply, blogspot...
Caught up with friends and former officemates. I found out one of my good friends in college is an Ang Dating Daan member (Christian sect headed by Eli Soriano), i never thought he would join such a group. Another one celebrates her birthday today. Another one will be going home to the Phils. Etc. Indeed, it has become a small world.

Movies
Which one to watch? The Godfather, The Punisher or Kill Bill?
Same theme - "Revenge is a dish best-served cold."
Yeah its a small world. See you later, alligators!

15 Before Midnight

Film-making
I wanna try recording some videos. So many ideas running in my head right now. That is after watching a short film on Youtube.

Moslem Talk
If you encounter a moslem whose name ends with Abdullah (or Abdul), it means the person is a convert. According to one i talked to, a moslem takes his name from his father. Bin Abdullah is used as default for converts since they have no father in the religion. Now it figures, Robin Padilla goes by the moslem name of "Abdul Aziz", Mike Tyson "Malik Abdul Aziz" and Lew Alcindor "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."

20 Percent Work
According to what i read, you have to focus on 20% of what needs to be done in your work and you'll be alright. Its all about recognizing priorities and dealing with it.

Rovers


Rover Wanderer Nomad Vagabond... Call me what you will.

Where to next? Langkawi perhaps. The past 6 months I've been to Penang, KL and Bangkok. Right now, I'm here at Ipoh, Perak, one of the largest states in Malaysia about 3-1/2 hours away from KL. Still so much more places here to explore. LOLz. I love travelling. Eventhough i travelled enough in different parts of the the Philippines as part of my job, travelling in a foreign country is a whole new experience for me.


VC Magic

Vinsanity is going to Orlando, finally, there's a fighting chance for him to win a championship. Great!!!


No Practice

When i was in KL to visit my buddies, i was able to play basketball, hahaha i can't keep up with those guys. Fck. So now i bought myself a ball. Problem is, i can't find a ring nearby my place.
