mes 5 meilleurs civilizations en civ4. avant civ4 (pendant civ1 à civ3), je jouais ces civilizations et quand j'obtiens le jeu (et j'aurais acheté un nouveau ordinateur), je leur jouerai encore.
1. louis XIV, roi de france. evidemment, parce que j'adore leur langue.
2. elizabeth, reine d'angleterre. j'aime des femmes fortes.
3. hatsheput, pharoah d'egypt. j'aime l'histoire.
4. isabella, reine d'espagne. après tous, est-ce que nous ne sommes pas espagnols? ;p
5. tokugawa, shogun du japon. j'admire leur cultur.
je regardais la tv le soir dernier. cinq soldats americain ont été inculpés (were charged) de violer (rape) une femme philippine. c'est bizarre quand j'entends des gens (ma mère aussi) me disent et pensent que la philippine l'a mérité (deserved). qu'elle l'a mérité parce qu'elle est sorti avec les americain. ou elle portait une dress sexie. ou elle était terriblement une charmeuse. à mon avis, c'est une pauvre logique. c'est-à-dire. est-il bon qu'on peut voler (steal) du riche avec leur grandes maisons parce que on peut leur voir? why do people we almost always blame the victim in rape/harassment? pourquoi nous reprochons toujours la victime?
[correction by sjuju] cinq soldats américains ont été inculpés de viol sur une philippinoise. je trouve ça biazrre quand j'entends des gens, incluant ma mère, penser et dire que la philippinoise l'a mérité parce qu'elle était sortie avec les Américains, parce qu'elle portait une robe sexy ou bien parce qu'elle était flirteuse/charmeuse/dragueuse. À mon avis, c'est illogique. Par exemple, est-ce bon de dire qu'on peut voler les riches parce qu'on voit leur grosse maison?
la capitaine de USS Kusug (la vaisseau d'etoile) ira au holland en quatre mois pour un an. elle m'a dit le samedi dernier pendant elle enseign ses étudiants à l'université. elle est une professeur de java. et puis un autre ami de travaille ira aux états-unis. maintenant, je pense aussi de sortir mais je ne suis pas sûr si je fais un bon decision. si je déménagerai, il sera un autre deux ans encore avant je deviens comfortable avec toute le monde autour de moi. j'espère que quelque jour, loin dans le futur, je sortira cette place-ci aussi.
quelqu'un me demandait si je suis un vrai philippin. il me demandait parce que j'étudie la langue française. j'aime les musique étrangères. j'aime la tv americain. je parlait d'aller aux états-unis encore où j'ai habité 3 ans. je les dis toujours qu'il me manque. quelque fois, je les dis que je déteste notre pays. je déteste la pauvreté, la politique, le réligion. mais j'aime ma famille et mes amis. j'aime la nourriture. je suis né des philippines. bien sûr, je suis un philippin. peut-être je suis plus philippin que toi parce que comme jose rizal il a étudié le français.

une lettre à DTI
voici un site qui nous dit comment faire lightsabers. the scene which we will be attempting to make is me as a starfleet officer and nino as a dark jedi. he will be parrying phaser fire. if possible i will be making two endings. first phaser fire bouncing back to me. i am finished, or second, i manage to get pass his jedi defense crap. and he's disintegrated. we're already done with the video shoot. now its just a matter of putting in place the special effects. ^_^
regardons si nous avons des réel droits comme un citoyen des philippines qui a eu payer depuis 1996. environ 9 ans. en plus, je ne crois pas normalement en horoscopes. mais après ceci, il me fait penser. lisez la phrase suivante que j'ai obtenu d'un site .. [snip] ... some will start having juridical (legal) problems .. ends only in 2006. je le prends comme un placée parfaitement coincidence ..
if the government cant help me. who else can? i dont come from a prominent family. i dont have any friends from upstairs. im thinking i should just cut my losses. 41k bucks is not much. i know. but a bigger part of this is, consumers should be afforded protection against bad/broken/low quality merchandise.
MS. ASTERIA C. CABERTE Regional Director. DEPARTMENT OF TRADE & INDUSTRY. Regional Office - VII. 3/F, WDC Bldg., Osmeña Blvd. Cor. Burgos St., 6000 Cebu City. Tel. No : (6332) 254-4395; 255-0034. Fax No : (6332) 253-7465. E-mail : dti7@cvis.net.ph
Dear DTI, I recently bought a notebook for P41,000 at ZAYRIL COMPUTERS located near the Capitol, in front of Gillamac. Two to three months later, it failed to turn on. I went back to the store, to have them fix it and now they are telling me to pay a tentative amount of P20,000 more to replace the busted part(s). It was apparent that they were not going to give me any other options.
The warrantee give was only one month. Its passed the duration. I dont want to have to pay another 20k since I just bought the unit. Is there something I can do as a consumer (and tax payer)?

la vierge qui avait 40 ans
aujourd'hui, c'est dimanche ce matin. je me suis réveillé et j'ai trouvé que mon ordinateur était cassé. (one of) my worst nightmares made real. that in some obscure and unexpected time, i will wake up one day and siopao would be broken. barely two months since i got it, the unthinkable happened. fustrated and angry. i thought, this would never have happened if i lived in the states. bien sûr, je ne sais pas cela. worse things could have happened. like i get terribly sick. or i have to depend on someone/anyone. its crazy even to entertain the idea that ive somehow earned the ire of karma, thinking of an imbalance pastlife. a stroke of bad luck? i was unable to setup my machine for kerry (for a while). mes parents n'ont pas de l'argent (AUSSI), et ils me demandent toujours leurs aider. which i dont normally mind, sauf cette fois. im short too. (sigh) and they have developed this twisted morality that its only right for their children to support them.
la vierge qui avait 40 ans. c'est un film que j'ai peur regarder parce que je suis immature. there shouldnt be any reason at all, though (feeling overly defensive hehe). i think its because i was unnecessarily concerned of what other people might or is thinking about me. those presumptions. those pity stares and uncomfortable conversations. true or not, is not anybodys business. strangely, i got to watch it with several of the young(er) generation from work. which maybe made the experience, of the movie telling me things i already know about myself, even more depressingly humorous. because i swear to (the universe), ils me pensaient tous. hehehe.
ok. back to the movie. my favorite part was when his boss lady was making a proposal. it was funny because the lady looked genuine and she fit the part perfectly. i saw her playing a similar role on tv. she wasnt particularly sexy. her whole attitude towards casual sex all made up for what ever's lacking from her physical attributes. i wonder if i will ever meet someone like that. forget the politics. the consequences. the emotional garbage. hahaha. another favorite was when he was watching porn. the porn his generous friend gave him. in my mind, that hit the jackpot right there already. end of movie. i mean .. its a FREE stack of porn. what else could he ask for. his reaction to the free porn was a bit odd. there was also the exposed boob slash speed dating scene. the boob looked fake, somptous but fake.
la vierge a eu de nombreux amis. all stereotypes of what a man american society expects. beginning with the smooth talking womanizer. the charming, depressed, and angry exboyfriend. and the weed smoking and easy going jester. each character wanted to impart unsolicited wisdom, and had something to share to, the virgin. and this is the part that i thought was genius. everyone assumed he needed help and everyone became self proclaimed experts on wooing women, which towards the end of the movie, it becomes apparent who really had problems.

les décorations
si vous pensiez que pldt avait un service mauvais. globelines a un plus mauvais service. il a pris 3 semaines pour moi (je suis allé leur bureau 5 fois, 5 freakinn FOIS!!!) avant ils ont répondu. c'est bizarre qu'ils montrent des posters que disent "nous sommes les meilleur" quand ils ont un assez lent et service mauvais.
un de les gars au travail partira le mois prochaine aux états-unis. il a paié $2,500 mais il obtient un visa H1B. il me manque parce qu'il est un d'un peu qui je considere un ami. et je n'ai pas beaucoup d'amis. je sera triste quand il part.
les chrétiens ont commencé envahir le bureau. ils ont commencé mettre leurs décorations dans quelque part d'étage. i had hoped to maintain a healthy distance but they wouldnt allow that. they interfere with everything. even though it IS offensive to a minority who dont share their enthusiam towards the coming holidays. the company, despite its policy in protecting all of its employees from discrimination against creed, is held hostaged by sheer numbers.
the latest french lesson is fairly simple. c'est le futur antérieur = future perfect. i dont believe we have a direct translation of this in pilipino. mais quelq'un doit me corriger.
je serai mort = i will have died = namatay sana ako
il aura gagné = he will have won = nanalo sana siya
vous aurez tombé d'amour = you will have fallen in love? = napaibig sana ikaw

time capsule
je viens d'entendre sur la télévision que en angleterre, les companies ont besoin d'engager les immigrants. 10% de leurs employees. i just heard on tv that in england, companies need to hire 10% immigrants. this appears to be in response to what is happening in france in the last few weeks. these immigrants should be deported right away if you ask me.
while flattered of being asked for advice. i dont pretend to be any kind of expert on the subject. but its odd in retrospect. when it concerns other people's personal lives. i have these sudden bursts of insights. mais avec ma vie personelle, je suis tout a fait perdu. voici un exemple:
salut XXXX! when things are getting out of hand. you have to put your foot down. i believe you did the right thing. he (persian guy) probably doesnt believe you when you tell him youre not interested. either hes not taking you seriously. or he has very serious issues (delusions), he thinks there is a slight chance that you might change your mind. it IS fustrating to be forced to disappoint someone. even if its a casual friend. there should be no guilt, you werent doing anything wrong. the question to ask yourself is, would you rather have prolonged your agony (of being together), leading him on? about YYYY, i dont know him that well to know. but on the outside he does appear to be sincere and a nice person. i also think you need to tell him that. i mean you lose nothing (except maybe your pride) if you do. would you like me to email him? i think i have his email somewhere .. i dont know why you attract the obsessive/wierd kind of guys. have you had similar experiences outside of cebu? lovelife ko? hehehe it is sometimes depressing, being single. but thinking of the past, its hardly a walk in the park being in a relationship either. my attitude towards this is when im ready to go out there. i will, right know l probably need to concentrate on myself anyway .. ^_^
[email time capsule] j'ai écrit cette lettre à moi, moi-mème de la futur (20 ans de maintenant).
salut max, si vous êtes vivant, puis vous pouvez lire cette lettre court .. quand j'écrivais cette lettre, il était lundi après midi 11 novembre 2005. j'habitais en cebu. j'ai eu 2 boulots (lexmark et kerry). j'écoutais à la chanson du film gladiateur que s'appelle - "maintenant, nous sommes libres". il y a de nombreux personnes au travaille qui j'aime. ils sont été ll, rc, et lb. mon père vient de rentrer à manille ce matin par bateau. il aura arrivait par demain à manille. la voyage de cebu à manille prend environ 24 heures. toujours.

stripclubs
at kerrys, i was able to convert the html into active web pages (aspx) and user controls (ascx). il m'a pris 8 heures. its simple, routinary, but bulky. i still need to study the repeater control for the grids. lastly, looking at the elegant tables im converting from, i wonder if there is a tool web designers use to design them. i cant fathom doing them manually.
there are a number of strip clubs along mango avenue, beside the towering (l'ëglise du christ) INC church, going to fuente. i havent been to any of them since i moved down here (since 2002), until this weekend.
there is the bar called exotica which i found to be a little too intimate. it had to be short of 4x4 meters. there were no tables there was just the bar with a ledge inside where scantily clad, practically naked, women entice and dance, surrounding the bar were metal stools where customers can sit, watch, and drink. (and conveniently hand out tips).
another bar was the vikings. crossing the street towards it, i had the impression that it had a more "sophisticated", rather mature clientele. i was correct. foreigners appear to frequent the place. it did have a number of pretty women inside. outnumbering the customers. it was a bit intimidating to enter because they would stare. finding a free table proved to be as difficult. this was odd because there usually is someone upfront who will greet and show you in. after the 2nd or 3rd dance, i noticed that this hospitality is reserved only to the foreigners. i had two beers.
its not the first time that i have noticed this ridiculous amount of politeness being extended to foriegners. its symptomatic of our self image. how we filipinoes view and think of ourselves. it was at elizabeth mall, while ordering lunch i was first in line. i was at the counter about to pay. when a foreigner (husband to a native) was second in line. the counter lady seeing this, decides to take care of their bill first. i felt mildy annoyed. the foreigner appeared embarassed while the wife seemed to feel she deserved the special treatment (just because..) and was acting without remorse. i should have said something. but didnt .. my fault ..
