What’s Eating You?

It’s been almost a week or a little over a week since my last post. Actually, I already have made two rough drafts for my next entries. And what’s taking me so long to publish them is that I have been a little ambivalent on which entry should I publish first. And until now, I have still yet to decide. Thus, to make a halt on the increasing gap between my last post and my next post, I hereby, publish this “mema”-entry. Note: I got the term from ChaosPilot’s blog entry entitled “MEMA”. (Derived from “May ma-“ like memasabi lang or memapost lang. hehe)

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment. - Grenville Kleiser 1868-1953, American Author

“What’s eating you?”

My 12-year old cousin was asking me, “Kuya, what’s eating you?” I was a little startled with her question, so I was like, “Huh?” Then she said, “Dugay na man ko wa kita nimo… what’s eating you?” (I haven’t seen you for a while, what’s eating you?)

Instead of answering her, I ran to the nearest computer and I made a little research about it. I googled, “what’s eating you?” (Akalain mong mas marami pang alam na figure of speech yung bata, kesa sakin. Tsk tsk!)

I learned that, “What’s Eating You?” can be interpreted as:
* What’s consuming your time lately?
* What’s bugging you?
* What’s making you busy lately?

So, what’s eating me lately?

Basically, these are the things that's currently "eating" me aside from my regular job:

• Blogging and Bloghopping - I am having fun, aren't you?


• Pet Society / Facebook
  Do you have a facebook account? If you do, and if you’ve heard about Pet Society, then yes, that’s one of the online games that’s currently consuming my time. Feel free to add me up. Simply search Ray Bajan on facebook and add me up. Thank you.

• DOTA: Defense of the Ancients is a custom scenario for Warcraft III, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft The objective of the scenario is to destroy the opponents' "Ancient". The two teams' ancients are heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". As in role-playing games, players level up their hero and use gold to buy equipment during the mission. Source: Wikipedia.com

• Reading Awake! Magazine: Awake! is a general-interest magazine published by the The WatchTower Organization. The title comes from Mark 13:33 and Luke 12:36. It is considered a companion magazine to The Watchtower which focuses mostly on Bible study and doctrine. Awake! has a wider scope than the Watchtower, publishing articles on science, nature and geography, usually with a religious slant.


• Chatting with friends online. Most of these online friends are young OFW's. I have always dreamed of working abroad that's why almost every once in a while I give these guys a buzz on YM and ask them about how is it like living and working abroad.

On my next post, I will be featuring some young OFW with a glimpse of their stories.

Tagged Once Again

Another tagging-game na laganap ngayon sa mundo ng blogasperyo ang tumama sa'kin.

This time it’s from a beautiful and gorgeous Ms. Winkie. I was hesitant to respond to this tagging game because for some reasons I was thinking of closing this blog already. But because Ms. Winkie is just so irresistible and she has been so nice to me, I didn’t have the nerve and the strength to say “NO” to her.

So eto daw yung rule:

List the names that you are called by and name the people who call you by these names.

Okay eto na:

Raymond

- This is my given name. Nung tinanong ko mama ko bakit eto name ko, sabi nya kasi daw ayaw nya ng mga names na tunog fancy katulad nung mga names na may Prince sa unahan. Ayaw din daw nyang bigyan ng mahabang name mga anak niya kasi kawawa pag nagfifill-out ng forms, di kasya. Yung mom ko kasi mahaba yung name niya kaya ayaw nyang ma-experience namin yung inconvenience of having a very long name. Tulad pag may short quizzes, yung teacher nasa number 5 question na eh sya hindi pa tapos sa pagsulat ng name nya. Kaya ayun, perfect daw sya parati.. perfect numbering. ahaha!

Raymundo

- “Raymundo!! Bakit wala ka sa top 10 ngayong school-year?!!” hehe.. yan pag galit mama ko sa'kin.

Boknoy

- Palayaw ko nung maliit pa ko. Nung mag-elementary na’ko, wala ng tumatawag sa’kin nito kasi nagagalit ako. Peru, mga tiyo ko minsan eto pa'rin tawag nila sa'kin. Kainis, parang tunog paslit na siponin. heheh..

Monching

- Tawag sa'kin ng ibang tiyahin ko. May ka-officemate din akong yan ang tawag sa'kin. I prefer being called by this name.

Monding / Munding / Ding

- Tawag sa’kin ng mga officemates ko, kasi daw mukha pa daw akong bata (baby-face hehe!) nung nagsimula ako magtrabaho. Haha.. Sa precinto magpunta yung may reklamo. ;)

Mon / Monz

- Nickname ko dito sa blogosphere. Mon din ang kadalasang tawag sa'kin ng mga kalaro ko nun at classmates.

Monmon

- Tawag sa’kin ng favorite teacher ko sa high-school. One blogger friend, Rye, also calls me by this name.

Monch Boi

- Screen name ko sa friendster. Para tunog bagets at astig. Para tunog teenager pa rin. LOL!

Bugoy

- Kasi daw kamukha ko si Bugoy of PDA. Haha! Nung una hindi ko alam pano magreact dito. Peru ok lang kasi favorite sya ng mom ko. At saka sabi ng mom ko, ako daw yung cuter version ni bugoy! Haha.. Oh walang papalag. Kung may reklamo, dun sa presinto! heheh. Hi Ms. Winkie, pahiram ng linya. ;)

O ayan napilitan pa tuloy ako maglagay ng pictures. O sigeh, kayo na humusga! haha!!

Eto pala yung favorite Acronym meaning ng name ko. Perfect description of me. hehe!

Haha! Nahanap nyo na ba ang pinakamalapit na presinto?

Anyways, sabi din pala sa rule, kelangan ipag-patuloy ang pag-tag. Hence, the following bloggers are tagged:

Bluguy
Flamindevil
Azul
Desza

Heheh, Sorry guys tradition daw eh! ^_-

Ten Random Things About Me

I was tagged by Rye aka Flamindevil to list Ten Random Things About Me and it's okay kasi wala pa naman akong na-iisip na topic for a new entry. As usual, the rule is to list down ten information about yourself, nine of them are facts and one is a LIE. So feel free to make a guess guys. ;)

Ok, so without further ado, here it goes...




10 Random Things About Me


1. I was born in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila. My mom used to work as secretary at a local law firm. She quit her job because his employer attempted to harass her and so we moved back to Cebu when I was 5.


2. I used to be a mommy's boy when I was younger. But as I was growing up, we've had conflicts which created a slight gap between us. But that does not alter the fact that I love my mom so much.


3. I am a 23-year old male virgin. No need to hurry. I am saving it for the right person and it’s gonna happen at the right time.


4. I stand 5 feet and 5.5 inches. I’ve always been unhappy with my height and I am so obsessed of gaining more height that I even bought 2 bottles of Cherifer PGM 2 months ago. Even at 23, I am still taking it daily. LOLz.


5. I have a mild thoracic dextroscoliosis 25 degrees. My back looks a little uneven but no, I’m not a hunchback. For more information about scoliosis. Visit Wikipedia.com and enter “scoliosis”. Hehe. ;p


6. I used to go to a gym as advised by my doctor. I had a physical therapist who used to guide me with the exercises. Kaso nung nalaman kong bakla sya, nag-quit ako kasi di ko sya type.. haha.. Nakakatakot sya kasi he was huge!! 5'11 ata yun!Medyo Chubby!


7. I’ve had 3 official girlfriends. None of those relationships lasted 4 months.


8.When I was in Grade 6, I thought I was infatuated with our PE teacher!! He was very good at basketball. Now, I've realized it was just plain admiration. Perhaps I was just looking up to him like a father figure or older brother.


9. One of the movies that made me cry in a movie house was Steven Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence (2001). The movie was like a story of a boy robot. It's like a modern Pinocchio movie (as if di nyo napanood, hehe). The fact that he went that far but was not able to accomplish his goal, that is, to look for the blue fairy who can make him a real boy, and that scene wherein his "mom" abandoned him in the woods because they thought he might hurt their real son, oh it's just so heart-breaking.


Watch the Movie Here:

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

10. Lastly, my favorite music artists are Jason Mraz and Michael Buble.

Wheow! Finally, I'm done with this obligatory post. ;)
And I would like to know more about the following bloggers, hence, you guys are TAGGED.

Mahal ko si DOTA

Napag-isip isip ko na marahil masyadong malungkot ang tema ng aking huling dalawang blogpost at ayokong makahawa o magdulot ng malungkot na atmospera sa blogosphere. Paumanhin po kung ganun man. At paumanhin po kung mali-mali ang aking Tagalog ngayon. Gusto ko lang talaga subukan mag-post ng purong Tagalog lang, ng maiba naman. Bisaya po talaga ako. ;)

Nais ko pong ibahagi ang isang nakakatawang e-mail na natanggap ko mula sa isang kaibigan. Hindi po sya blogger kaya wala akong link na mailalagay.

Dahil ako po ay mahilig din sa larong DOTA, na-tuwa talaga ako ng matanggap ko ito.

DOTA Vs. GF

si DOTA isa lang sa mundo,
GF napakarami niyan.
si GF iiwan ka din niyan,
si DOTA hindi.
si GF nagagalit pagnagdodota ka,
si DOTA hindi nagagalit pag nagGF ka.
si DOTA P20 lang masaya na,
si GF baka P200 hindi pa masaya.
pagnakakakita ka ng ibang Hero hndi nagagalit si DOTA,
pero pagnakakakita ka ng ibang babae nagagalit si GF.
si GF pag iniwan mo mahirap na balikan,
si DOTA pag iniwan mo, handa ka parin tanggapin.
Ano mas gusto mo DOTA o GF?
mag-isip ka na....

GIRLFRIEND: Bakit ang DOTA ba maroromansa ka?
DOTA: Bakit mabibigyan ka ba ng gf ng
tripleng sarap pag naka triple kill ka?
GIRLFRIEND: Bakit ang Dota ba kayang kompletuhin ang pagkatao ng isang lalake?
DOTA: Bakit kaya ba ng babae gawing GODLIKE ang isang lalake?

BUT they have 1 thing in common:
Yun ay lagi silang anjan pag me problema ka. Pag natalo ka sa pustahan sa dota cno magpapasaya sau GF dba? Pag nagkaproblema ka naman sa GF cno magpapasaya sau DOTA dba?

;)

Kaya sa lahat ng girls jan, feel free to comment. Peru wag nyo po ako awayin ha. Hindi po ako nagsulat nyan. ;)


Para sa mga hindi pa nakaka-alam kong ano ang DOTA ito po ay isang multi-player computer game. For more information, please click here:
