Download Three Times a Lady
May 29, 2008
Today, a colleague of mine just sent an email to everyone in the office.. an angry email.. a very very very angry email.. about the lift that broke down 3 times just this day and got stuck in it in those 3 incidents.
There’s an old saying that you should not do (fill in the blank with any verb) angry. Don’t drive angry. Don’t work angry. Don’t eat angry. Don’t write emails angry. But she did anyway.
Although she had every right to send an email about our oft-broken lift and express her frustrations, think about this. Everything can be argued in two different ways. Maybe it’s the lift, maybe it isn’t the lift. Maybe it’s just bad luck, or maybe there’s something wrong about the lift passengers.
That’s all I’m saying. HAHAHAHAHA
Rowan Atkinson 1992
May 29, 2008
My friend and I were discussing last week about the difference between Pinoy and Western comedians. I told him that I’m ok with some Pinoy jokes (like Money Poohkiaw and Rex Navarette) as long as they’re smart jokes. I mean smart like witty, not those jokes that comedians will just make fun and cuss someone and then everybody laughs. That’s just plain old sad.
There are some comedians who are really really good. Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, Russell Peters, the late great Richard Pryor to name a few. They’re good with the word plays and making pun of real issues.
And then there’s Rowan Atkinson. A man more famously known as Mr. Bean.

Transformers Animated 23 A Fistful of Energon
 |
This is another cool episode of the TF Animated series. It has 2 major references to the Transformers G1. The first is that this could be the episode that starts to show and explain why there are Decepticon Jet Fighters that look alike (coined by fans as Seekers).
Secondly, this episode shows Prowl upgraded as a Samurai. Now that the TFA toyline is selling like pancakes, this episode just goes to say that there will soon be a Prowl Samurai that has an samurai-armor-transforming sidecar. I don’t mind since the Prowl toy looks like a better version than the G1 police car.
A Fistful of Energon is episode#23 of the TF Animated season 2.

Do you remember the highly anticipated sequel to Macaulay Kulkin’s Home Alone.. which is Home Alone 2 (duh)?
Do you remember the reason why his family lost him in the airport going to Miami but instead he got on the plane to New York?
That beginning of the movie sucked out the whole life of the movie. I mean, who would lose a kid in airport when they’re all together. It’s not that someone kidnapped the kid or anything. But Kevin (Macaulay Kulkin) managed to be separated from his family.. again.
Well, this news kinda sounds like that. I guess I was quick to judge that Home Alone movies were just wild imagination of movie writers who want to make big bucks of the sweet little ol’ Macaulay Kulkin.
DOINGK!
Filipino family forgets baby at Canadian airport
Agence France-Presse
OTTAWA – Tickets, check. Passports, check. Luggage, check. Baby … oops.
A Filipino family boarded a flight on Monday in westernmost Canada, and forgot their tot at the Vancouver international airport, media said Tuesday.
The 23-month-old boy’s family had just arrived in Canada from the Philippines, but they were forced to repack their overweight bags before catching a connecting flight to Winnipeg, causing them to run late.
In their sprint to the gate, the family became separated.
The boy’s father Jun Parreno, told local media he had thought his son was with his wife and the boy’s grandparents, who ran ahead. They thought the boy was with his dad.
On the plane, the family members were seated separately and so did not immediately realize they had left the child behind.
Sometime later, a security guard found the boy, who speaks no English, wandering near the departure gate, and Air Canada officials tracked down his shocked parents on the flight.
Because the boy was so young, he was not issued a boarding pass and would have sat on a parent’s lap during the flight, so airline personnel did not notice a passenger was missing.
According to the Vancouver Sun, airport security found a Tagalog-speaking Air Canada agent who looked after the child while his father flew 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles) back to Vancouver to pick him up and then return to Winnipeg to rejoin the immigrant family on their first day in Canada.
The baby was kept in Air Canada’s offices and staff found him some toys, said local media.
“Air Canada took good care of him,” Parreno told the daily Winnipeg Free Press upon arrival. “I’m grateful.”

Darthed at $35
May 27, 2008

Three weeks ago, I saw this Star Wars Unleashed Obi Wan Kenobi at Suntec. Thought of saving my lunch money just to get me that for my (our.. my kids and mine) collection. These Unleashed figures in their exclusive boxes are hard to find these days. A year ago, I even saw a pack of four selling at just less than S$200. But now, you have to be watchful of Yahoo Auctions and eBay SG.
When I passed by the shop in Suntec last Thursday, the Kenobi was already. All that was left now are the Boba Fett and the Shadow Troopers.
I was disappointed.
The day after, my wife surprised me with a Unleashed Darth Vader (Figure#1, SW3). I can’t believe it. A mint-conditioned Darth Vader in the exclusive box. It was so cool.
I asked her how much she got it, she said that it was just selling for S$35. Even she was surprised at how much it was that she had to ask the clerk if that was the real price. The clerk asked if there was something wrong. She just said no and bought it at once.
So there you have it. The best item we have so far. The Star Wars Unleashed Darth Vader. He might look like he got tripped going down the stairs, but hey, you don’t get to find one so easily these days.
