The long overdue ambigram for my workmate, Larisse, has finally been uploaded. It ended one of my favorites in the simplicity category now. It took me less than thirty minutes for this to be created. I think it has bested the record of Resly’s ambigram.

I also have a Jason-Laris ambigram which was my second work of art (Dans came first) and was created one week after Larisse and Jason had announced “their thing”. But it’s quite pilit so I decided to overhaul it to the effect that I have to utilize all the letters of Jason Erick and Larisse Gale. I’ll post it soon.

Here’s the first installment set of PERP (Photos of ERP).

Should it be written as WORK = LIFE Balance? Or should be read as Work minus Life Balance?

More PERP issues coming!

After Borakada Blast last month, barkada gimmicks continue. We raid movie houses. We dine and dash food trips. We drink beer and cheer. We redefine what it means to be an ITO Support Specialist when we watch and support the barkada ITO Gold Miner players of the HP sportsfest.

If there’s only one bond that I enjoy while staying at the company, it is the bond the friendship has built.

Movie Maraton

Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End, Glorietta 4, May 24.

I’m with Myk and Jeff. We were 15 minutes late and arrived at the scene where Will Turner’s gang was sailing in cold waters. I got lost and seems like I was on the doldrums half of the movie for I haven’t watched the second installment of the Pirates. I could as Myk on my left but this was Myk’s first Pirates movie. On my right is Jeff but couldn’t help too since he’s sleeping. Basta tawa na lang kami ni Myk kapag nagpapatawa sina Jack Sparrow at Captain Barbossa. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.

Ocean’s 13, Shangri-La, June 16.

The Champions in the making.

Headed to Ortigas with Myk, Jeff, JP and Dans after the first win basketball game. Good thing even we haven’t made a reservation we managed to have row of 5 seats for us. It was Jeff’s day by the way. Good thing I was sitted next with Myk who had watched the second sequel. I might end lost again. I don’t know from Myk (who’s developing Security tools) but I felt satisfied working in the Security area while watching the movie. I really love penetration… I mean, intrusion. Imagine probability and statistics are also incorporated with this area and of course, computer graphics. Weeh!

Suddenly, creativity rushed in and the idea of having an own version of gangsters since we already have our Sir Gerry then popped in. Read related post here.

Anyways, back to the movie… I enjoyed it and everyone did. Ocean’s 12 is not a prerequisite to understand the third installment. Yes, the technologies of the hotel might be close to fiction but let’s see what computers will become. I write stories. I write programs. And I know the possibility. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

We went to Mr. Kabab for dinner without Myk for his 9-NA shift has begun. Quezon City became my second home for five years yet I haven’t stepped in to the famous Mr. Kabab. Rating: 3.5 out of 5 spoons. I’m not a big fan of shawarma but Mr. Kabab is interestingly better than it.

Since we’ve been using the analogy of a ship most of the time, sing this song as if you are sailing in a ship propelled by tons of oars.

Bitiw as popularized by Sponge Cola

Tama, walang laglagan na!
Sama-samang hahanapin ang liwanag solusyon at
Tayo’y magpapaalon mapapa-join na sa
Isang daluyong committee na maghahatid sa atin sa
Isang mahabang mababang panaginip attrition rate
Di na Ito ay hihinto.

Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit
Maglalayag patungong langit

Teka, kaya ba natin to?
Kung hindi ay aakayin at itatayo magresign at tayo’y lalayo
Yun yon! Unyon!
Kaya hanggang ngayon ay tuloy resigned tuloy-tuloy

Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit
Maglalayag patungong langit

Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Pikit ang iyong mga mata
Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit
Maglalayag patungong langit

Ating tinig, ating himig, abot langit
Eto na tayo ang OARS! Eto na tayo ang OARS!

Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit
Maglalayag patungong langit

Huwag kang bibitiw magbitiw bigla
Pikit ang iyong mga mata
Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit
Maglalayag patungong langit

Eto na tayo ang OARS! Eto na tayo ang OARS!

Bitiw is the original soundtrack of Pedro Penduko at mga EngkataOARS. Let’s hope for the best and huwag kang bibitiw at magbitiw bigla.

Astig! Patinikan ng Di matikom ang bibig.
Teka muna, teka lang. Painom Pahinga muna sandali
Shift sa segunda E-ME-A, bago mapatumba Standby sa NA-LA

Dapat mabilis at ang areng na maganda Nakakainis dahil OT pay ay nada
At madulas Kaya malakas ang pagbigkas
At astig baka sakaling marinig
ng ang libo-libo na Pilipino mga reklamong maririnig sa nakaririndi ng mga aktibo katulad ko
Hindi ka ba nagugulat sa mga naganap
hindi ko din alam kung bat ako sikat Mga nagpaalam kung ba’t sila’y sumibat

Para bang Ang raise ay panaginip na pinilit makamit
Talagang sinusulit, ang pagiging makulit FTE pinipilit
Kailangan galingan Kailangang mag-resign, hindi na kayang tapatan naman matapatan
ang tugtugan ng parokya at aming Ang mga offer ng kabila at ibang samahan

Sh*t pa’no to wala na ‘ko masabi may interview! Bakit ko ba nasabi?
Ngunit kailangan gumalaw ng mga labi kong ito,decision ko ito
Kunyari Sa labas, nagbabakasakali
na I’m magaling din, ako kaya nasali kaya ako nakadali!

Kasama ng pinakamalupit na banda
Pati si Kiko Kido
Magaling! Hindi pa rin kayang tapatan Hindi kasi kayang tapatan!

Parang awit na Isang issue na lagi mong ‘tong binabalik balikan
Stop-rewind and play mo I-increase ang pay ko
Nakapakasaya Para sumaya na para bang birthday ko
Alam n’yo na siguro ang ibig kong sabihin
Hindi na n’yo kelangan akong paikutikutin
Baka lalong ‘di na matagalan lang pa

Lumapit at makinig na para iyong maintindihan
Mga salitang sinulat, na hindi ko papel kayo ay um-appeal
Pero pwede ilatag Pwede namang mag-comment
na parang banig na higaan sa comment box na hingahan
kapag hinawakan ang mikropono parang nabubuwang Bakit pinapa-down ang cool na blog ko, ano ako isang buwang?

Eh kasi naman siguro
Ganyan lang kapag gumagawa kami ng bago kapag walang nagagawa’t walang nabago
Medyo nabibilisan Please bilis-bilisan

Hindi nyo naisip na pwedeng mangyari
Magkasamasama, lahat ay kasali!

Next In Line as popularized by Erik Santos

What has life to How much will they offer me when I grow old go out?
What’s there to look forward to beyond this biting cold work?
They say it’s difficult, yes, stereotypical.

What’s there beyond sleep, eat, work shift, TeG, box in this cruel life?
Ain’t there nothin’ else ’round here but human strife
‘Cause they say it’s difficult, yes, stereotypical
Gotta be conventional, you blog can’t be so radical.

So I sing this song to all of my age
For these are the questions we’ve got to face
For in this cycle rota that we they call life
We are the ones who are next in line
We are next in line

The OcEAOn’s 11

A syndicate of underworld professional bandits teamed up on this year’s most explosive reality film, OcEAOn’s Eleven. Each Robin Hood-like characters has his or her own criminal specialty to assist in the gang’s main mission – to save the EAO race by bringing down the biological weapons of their archrival group, The Echelon.

Moneymakers

Multimillionaire Gerry is the Financier of the group that mobilizes the team opearations. Richard is the stocks Pickpocket that manipulates the money market. Poker-face Jeffrey is the Gambler, the money generator that operates casino and gambling facilities.

Behind the Scenes

Learning put in practice. They work at the background but remains the groundwork of all modus operandi. Programmer and mighty Myk applies his knowledge in security to penetrate in opponent’s base. Gadgets are scope of the electrifying Electronics Kat. Nothing escapes from the lens of the photographer turned the Spy, Jay. Computer Graphics expert Jonas has the ability to counterfeit visual data.

On the Field

The mice that plays on the field when the cats is or isn’t around: JP brings the noise from Antbusting to real Ammunition. Kido is the Master of Disguise that breaks in with his sense of humor.

Men Catchers

Hannah is the Bait that fishes valuable information through her social skills and wit. Danz is the Dealer that delivers advantage on every transactions made with other groups. Both know kung fu so beware.

What are the odds of getting even? Witness the action live at the 15th floor of Robinsons Summit Center.

The Genuine Opposition 12

Simply put as the Reklamo Technologies Expertise Group.
