Nan really has an eye for art. What more if he studied Fine Arts instead of Philosophy at the Ateneo. Hmmm. I think I need to replace my header now with some great photography. *Ahem. Click here for Nan’s People and Potraits.
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt @ Sorbonne 1910
Google really sucks. Although devil incarnate Matt Cutts wouldn’t confess, or maybe because the Google Search Quality Team “accidentally” forgot to tell him, there has been another industry shaking, show you who’s boss happening at the Google SERPs.
Search Engine Land called this the Google “Dewey” Update. I call it the “Screwey” Update. Why? My beloved site got penalized! If you Goog search using the domain name as keyword, the SERPs wouldn’t show the exact URL. Worst, beloved site landed #50 on the search results. Man, from #26 to #50? That’s insane! And because of this my daily unique visitor stats were devastated. This ultimately translates to poor revenue which actually is the main purpose of our client websites.
We gots screwed alright. Man, this is gonna be a long week. Damn algorithm changes. Making me a whore to the web then suddenly giving us SEOs warm bitchslapping. Well, this is what’s fun in my job. Search Engine Optimization is so unpredictable. But hey Google, the fight ain’t over. Were gonna fight for our rank.
So there was the Inane Rambler and me at 1:30 in the afternoon preparing our Amazing Race station. See the brown thing I’m holding? That’s a ridiculously priced tanning lotion (so fag, I know).
See, I really hate my pale white skin. Why? Because girls think I’m gay just by looking at this whitey so-called conyo skin! So I went on a mission to totally darken it. Now after soaking as much sun as I could, it was an epic fail. All I got was sunburn. Now my back skin throbs like hell and instead of getting a tan, all I got is red. ****’in burnt red.
Ouch. Even my arms are so burnt.
My skin is a curse. And it’s not even tisoy white. It’s white-yellowish Korean skin. Ewww. And hey, you should see my legs. Double ewww. Why can’t I have surfer tan? Dammit. Blah, I go now. Till the next tanning moment, girls please. Don’t judge a man by his skin. Judge him by his…
Curls. Ay fabolous! Wahaha! Thanks Nan and Kupy for the pics.
It’s really frustrating that I now have a domain of my own and a quasi-realized Movie Blog and yet find no time to update them both. FlickSide, I mean come on. It’s been a year long dream to have this blog made! Shiz.
Work really is becoming the center of life. There is pressure I tell ya. Especially now that certain responsibilities are being passed to us from the upper management, stepping up to the plate is not an initiative. It’s mandatory. But you know me, I’m off to bat the challenges. Keep ‘em balls coming. But again, the movie blog has to suffer. At least for the time being. If only there’s more than just 24 hours a day and if only I have the capacity to go on by the extended hours. By then, there’ll be no Twitter rants of I’m so swamped with work and I’m tired blah blah. All there’ll be are great movie reviews.
Anyways, I consider my work as a blessing. It’s honestly all that I have. And even if these times are most demanding, all that matters is that there is always something good to come out of it.

I’m in love with someone. Is she the girl I got caught holding hands with? No, we’re just friends and things are going to stay that that way. There is something more valuable that just being together with someone. I’m so thankful to know her. She’s like cool waters and I’m scorched sand. It’s so good that we’ve met.
So who’s the one I’m in love with? Nah, I haven’t met her yet. Wehe.

Tomorrow the Marketing Department heads off to the beach! The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Everyone longs for a vacation especially those who’s been clogged with work recently. It’ll be fun seeing them having a good time. And me too! I’ll be having a great time as well. Maghuhukay ako ng mga booby traps tapos mang hihiram ako ng Video Cam. Then kunwari interview, sasabihin ko oi “Urong ka pa dito banda” then kapow! Hulog sa butas huling huli ng camera upload agad sa YouTube.
Wahaha. Good times. Ay salamat.
