le buffle d'eau

le buffle il y a deux chemins pour se rendre à tolède. soit par manipis, à travers les montagnes, soit par la ville de naga. ce week-end, je suis allé à tolède, parce que c'est le jour de la charte de la ville de cebu, et le jour de la révolution edsa le vendredi: ces sont deux jours de fête nationale. c'est aussi l'anniversaire de ma tante carmen, qui est la soeur âinée de mon père. elle a maintenant 72 ans. puis, jeudi soir, nous avons mangé du rôti de porc (roasted pig). le lendemain, jun, mon cousin, m'a emmené loin de la ville prendre des photos des buffles d'eau. c'est absolument fascinant. i got real close to get a good shot. i was impressed by how big the animal was. it stood just above my shoulder measured as they do horses from its shoulder blade down. just as we give attribute to elephants and dolphins. water buffalos are noble by human standards - till the land so that humans can eat. strangely i was afraid that they are lost forever, having been brought up in the city; we dont normally see these animals. but the ones that i did witness were a number. all swimming in a murky pond.

les anges ce weekend, nous (moi et k) avons joint pour un épisode d'enterprise mais la télévision de pinoykorner n'est pas fonctionne. donc nous avons décidé voir un film constantine. il a semblé comme un vieux joue que j'ai joué quand j'étais à l'université in nomine. les joueurs peuvent devenir des célestials et joignent dans la politique et intrigue de ciel et enfer. les choeurs des anges - seraphims, cherubims, ofanims, elohims, malakims kriotates, et mercuriates; contre les groupes de démons. the paradox of an omnipotent lawmaker bound by the same laws she herself had laid. it is no surprise that only in france that they could have come up with an idea like this. its history is fortunately laced with secularism. so that playing with religious icons such as these comes naturally. temple c'est un temple japonais que j'ai visité en 1997. symmetry, color, lightness, and tiny ornaments that are too difficult to see at this distance. contrast with cathedrals which tend to be heavy, gray, and menacing. architecture speaks a lot of the character of the people who built it. it gives me a sense of order and peace. few other architectures i found are capable of such feats. français j'ai posté leçon 32. tech at my request, i was recently transfered to another project at work. and this has motivated me to study systems programming i havent had the chance to work on prior. ive placed them in simple terms here. although it seems im having a hard time now, the truth is ever since i came on board (this company), i havent had any real challenge (at least, ones that im willing to take). until now. and the few problems that i had had where things that were unrelated to the work i do. maybe this time, life is going to be plus comfortable. ^_^

le temple du mal elementaire

j'ai pris cette image dans un musée japonais. most of kobe was in ruins minutes after the last tremor. the terrible quake of 96. and i remember sakemoto-san as a matter of fact (without a hint of bragging) that he still came to work the next day. thats japanese work ethics for you. ^_^ current events war in sulu, south of the islands, leftists protesting the planned 20% value added tax VAT. students protesting the planned name change from mapua to malayan university. simultaneous bomb attacks that killed and wounded a number of civilians in several major cities: davao, makati, general santos. no cebu yet? i am scared shit of the attack in makati for three reasons. it was where i used to take the public commute. we were at the same place this afternoon. and i knew some friends who take the same route going home. my brother could have been on that bus. its right in our backyards now. the abu sayyaf asg and the misuari renegades mrg. more details here. each side blaming the other of civilian involvement. how does killing more civilians solve past mistakes. do we hear moslem leaders condemning the terrorism? the worlds gone crazy. pc game temple of elemental evil. a party of 5. all dwarves. frédérick et florence, brave paladins of heironeous. marcel the wizard. alphonse the cleric of pelor. and rémi the rogue. and a human temp, spugnoir the wizard. some battle highlights. frédérick et florence are the front line melee. marcel and spugnoir use charm person, daze, and flare when outnumbered. alphonse uses great turning to destroy a legion of undead. rémi likes to sneak up to the enemy. finding an oppurtunity to flank an opponent so they would get free attacks from behind.64 bit j'ai des questions: (1) does it translate that if its a 64bit OS its faster? or it just means instructions are 64bit large? and then whats the use of having large instructions .. ^_^ oblige me. (2) what are the implications, having a 32bit processor and a 64bitOS, a 32bitOS and a 64bit processor? (3) since they used WOW to run DOS in 32bit windows. theyll be using the same technology to run 32bit apps in 64bit windows? maya4 i buy a lot of techbooks and they often end up at the bottom drawer. i read only as far as the table table of contents. this weekend i picked up an old buy. maya4 fundamentals by jim lammers with lee goodings. it looks very good. and i quote "this book is for the beginner". that was all i needed to know. here are the chapter exerpts. 1 quick start. 2 tour of maya. 3 maya interaction. 4 your first animation. 5 NURBs. my first introduction to NURBs is from a project i did, called ICAD, for fujistu shizuoka. 6 more NURBs. 7 polygons. 8 materials. 9 lighting. 10 animation. 11 cameras. 12 paint effects. 13 particle systems. suddenly its startrek?! ^_^ and then finally, 14. artistry.

roses [chorus] par outkast
I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank.
But lean a little bit closer.
See that roses really smell like boo-boo
Yeah, roses really smell like boo-boo. ^_^

worship catholics venerate the virgin mary and the saints. venerate means honor with a ritual act of devotion. just as people venerate heroes by firing canons. or a salute to higher officers in the military. worship is reverence offered a divine being. the subject being mary and the saints automatically disqualify what you describe as worship. its veneration. idolatry is the worship of a physical object as a god. catholics use idols for visualization. secularism what has secularism done to humanity. 1. equal rights for women and people of all classes, color, and creed 2. tolerance 3. scientific progress 4. freedom of choice within the bounds of secular law 5. free to watch, read, paint, write, study, and express. 6. and democracy.

la directive principale

1987 constitution of the philippines. article 3 bill of rights. Section 2. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches ...

j'ai vu ce cartag en route au travaille. if i had something to hang it on to, i would like one be custom made to say MACAPOBRE. priorities this is going way overboard. for a government which claims to have no money to patrol the streets, fix the traffic, and provide basic services. they seem to have just enough to intrude on peoples privacy. the rumors have it that the government will now spend money confiscating pirated merchandise already owned by private citizens. off topic, the news is littered with the police raiding harmless strip bars and then women who work there are exposed to public ridicule. this country really has to reevaluate its priorities. joyeux anniversaire m.spiner!! m.laforge, mme seven, mma chapel seront célébrer ce mois aussi. ce fin de la semaine, je verra des amis de startrek fan group de cebu. nous regarderons des episodes de startrek. j'espère que c'est tout à fait bien. en attendant pour maintenant, je viens de voir des films suivantes: l'insurrection, wrath of kahn, and search for spock. and the undiscovered country. nous avons vu deux episodes. i like the episode cogenitor. similar to a TNG episode where riker fell in love with an androgeny. the TNG version was more dramatic. a more focused commitment to the social criticism it was trying to convey. trips story seemed detached. of course, these stories are all pointing to one thing. establishing the prime directive: self determination. neanmoins, ce episode de entreprise est bon aussi. religion is religion a personal matter? the truth of the matter is exactly the opposite. in philippine society. nothing has been as invasive. on billboard ads. on tv ads. people at work. the work environment. the ambush sermons on public commute. on emails. on government policies. il est partout! when filling up application forms. those that arent particular to gathering statistics. it opens the door to discrimination. when i was previously applying for a job, just right after i came back. i was hesitant to put none on the religion box. but i did anyway. and people have been more quick to ridicule, that i was one in public. my suspicions were validated. sexism the same principle. the same thing could be said about the sex box in forms. it gives sexism legitimacy. where women are assigned to certain tasks in the workplace because they're women. "shes weak because shes a woman. mahina yan kasi babae eh". a quote from a stupid bigot.

"have you noticed your boobs have started to firm up?" - data to worf. tng the movie: insurrection

je essayerai copier cette image. musique j'aime les musique anciennes aussi. comme j'écoute à la billie holiday quelque fois. en plus des swing du 20s et 30s. il y a mme ella fitzgerald. ils sont chefs d'oeuvres de musique. les films j'aime sophia loren dans le film between strangers. its a 3 in 1 story. my favorite part is how it ends where all three shared a table at the airport. choices, we should all be as brave to make them. un autre film. jeux d'enfants children's games avec guillaume canet et marion cotillard. il est en français donc je ne comprends pas quoi ils disent. mais je comprends l'histoire. peut-être je le comprendrai dans la loin futur. le film quills. hypocrites. unjust but true conclusions. nature of denial: personal, society, country. innocence. wickedness. insanity. un autre film delovely. ashley judd doesnt know how to act. neanmoins, le film est tout bon. one big music video featuring music by a composer in the 1930s, m. cole porter. et il a dit "discretion is dishonesty wrapped up in a little grood breeding".
