I lost a dearest friend!

2007-11-11T23:29:00.000+08:00

Never in my life i've encountered such bloody, cutie, over lambing, sweet and loving friend. Im talking about my friend Cindy "Xindee/MUMU" Cule. She passed away last November 6, 2007. Because of that freakin' mosquito, i lost a dear friend. She was diagnosed with dengue.

The hardest part of this incident is, she is a graduating student. Got an average of 97% plus 3 OJT (on the job training) and thesis. 1 more semester and she'll have her degree in Psychology. She have a lot of plans for herself and for her family as well. But sad to say, she didnt make it. Its so hard to accept that she cannot fulfill her dreams. She even change her looks kasi daw magiging professional na xa. Dress like a professional.

Mumu is a type of person where u cannot see sadness in her eyes. We all know that shes fond of doin some gothic like stuff and dressing like a goth as well. But im sure shes different inside. The way she talks and express her personality on us. We didnt have personal interaction. We just have our conversation in YM (yahoo messenger). Kulitan, asaran, usapang lovelife and any interesting stuff.

Its so hard to accept that all of a sudden i lost a dear friend. Isa xa sa mga best buddy ko sa forum namin (www.markyctrigger.com/forum). Xa ang secretary ko sa family tree. hayz.. ang saklap naman. ala na my manghihingi sakin ng sketch ng pupuntahan nya na lugar. ala ng ung MUMU na mangdidisturbo sakin. ala na rin mgtatanong na "kuya vinz, busy kba talga for sure?".

Im sure right now, ur happy na kung san ka man. You will always be in our heart. Hope we could have and Eye Ball when i get there. and for sure, ako ang host. treat kita anywhere u want.

I thank u kasi i learned a lot from u. because of ur death, i learned how to value everything what i had. Friends, colleagues at sa lahat na mga kilala ko. Live your life to the fullest. Enjoy your life. Life is too short. Yan ang mga natutunan ko sa kanya.

I'LL BE MISSING YOU!
Thanks sa lahat lahat.

A Love Story

2007-11-07T01:14:00.000+08:00

From the very begining, the girls family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background,& that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him. Due to familys pressure, the couple quarrel very often. Though the girl love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused the girl to be very upset. With that & the familys pressure, the girl often vent her anger on him. As for him, he only endured it in silence. After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to farthen his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: "Im not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, Ill try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?" The girl agreed, & with the guys determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he leave, they got engaged. The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though its hard, but both never thought of giving up. One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realised that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice...... The doctors says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides silent crying,.....its still just silent cry that companied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart everytime it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply, and countless of phonecalls,.. all the girl could do, besides crying, is still crying.... The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy. With a new environment, the girl learn sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that hes back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasnt anymore news of him. A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guys wedding. The girl was shattered. When she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead. When she was about to ask her friend whats going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language telling her "Ive spent a years time to learn sign language. Just to let you know that Ive not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You. With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.

School Year 2007 - 2008

yeahh.. yeahh.. u heard it right. its nice to be back to school. i just enrolled yesterday. took 4 major subjects. im sure laboratories will start digging my grave. hahahaha. but im sure everything will be under control. the reason why i have to go back to school obviously not for allowance, girls, hang outs or gimiks, cutting classes and whatsoever. the reason is i want to have a title. a degree holder. a diploma that i will use in finding a job. not just for finding a job but a fulfillment for myself. a simple acquirement i succeeded. ngayon ko lang na realize na ang hirap pla mghanap ng work na gusto mo kung wala kang degree. ako pa naman ung tipong mapili. xempre i want to have a work nagtutugma sa resume ko. but i cant. if u want to have a ticket to the world's best u must have a degree in hand. my mom gave me a lot of chances but i dont mind it coz i was thinking like, the world out there is just a merry-go-round. but i was wrong. it was a roller coaster. damn. i dont know where am i gonna go or what may be the end of the road. its so hard to accept that all of my applications were rejected. damn that was so stymieing. but i must admit it. thats the path i choose to go. so i must suffer and face every consequences i passed by. but now i realized that in order for you to have and get what u want, u must be willing to sacrifice. face defeat and frustration.

right now, im sure im in the right path. tuloy tuloy na to. no one will barge my way or block my itinerary. this time i am matured enough to think of the possibilities that will happen. the choice. the purpose. this is for good. this is for my future. God will light my path and give me strength to pursue my dreams. so rock on vinz.

I was so excited last week when i have my job. finally, i have something i can earn for. my work is home base. i have to do some editing stuff from its old website to its new website. that job was so easy. all i have to do is to sit in front of my PC and do the copy and paste pattern. my internet connection is quiet alright for that job. but my employer needed my internet connection to be upgraded. so i ask my ISP how much will it cost if ill upgrade my internet connection to somewhat higher than i have. but things didn't go so soft as what im expecting. my folks specifically my aunt dont want me to upgrade coz it cost too much. its for personal purposes anyways. so here's what happen. first, my internet server down. coz of the retard theif stole the cable that connects all the lines in our subdivision. so internet and landline is down. it happened last monday till wednesday night. so my employer got mad at me coz i didnt even try to have conversation with him explaining what happen to me. coz all of a sudden i just burst out and nowhere to be found. hahaha.. thats cruel! but i dont have any choice but to accept his heart breaking lines "YOUR FIRED". damn it! it took me somewhat days to learn from it. and unfortunately, until now im in the state of recovery. too bad. the reason why i didnt even care to inform him is, my mobile phone malfunction. and up to the point of i cannot make it useful. i cant even go out and ask some of my friends to borrow their CP coz i was left alone in the house. my folks have their vacation. i decided not to go with them coz, i cannot just leave my work for pleasure or even to wind up. so when they got home, i ask for a new CP. fortunately, they gave me some couple of thousands to provide myself a brand new CP. im using nokia 6080. i decided not to buy a high end model coz CP models are degrading. one of this days, the value of the most expensive model might be the most cheapest. ika nga eh, basta maka text and tawag okay na un. hahahaha. practically speaking. hahahaha. sa hirap ng buhay ngayon. my nabasa ako na column about fashion and some people against it. may line na nkalagay na "TANGINA NYO, GUTOM NA ANG PINAS NGAYON! PERO PURO FASHION PARIN SA ISIP NYO"!!!! hahaha.. thats all..

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

2007-07-30T23:11:00.000+08:00

Get everything in Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 software and more with Photoshop CS3 Extended, which enables you to edit 3D and motion-based content and perform image analysis.

Features:
* Smart Filters
* Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools
* Advanced compositing
* 3D compositing and texture editing
* Movie Paint
* 2D and 3D measurement tools
* Streamlined interface
* Better raw-image processing
* Enhanced Vanishing Point with 3D support
* Enhanced 32-bit HDR support

Nondestructive editing
Edit nondestructively with new Smart Filters, which let you visualize different
image effects, and Smart Objects, which let you scale, rotate, and warp faster
and vector graphics — all without altering the original pixel data.

Rich painting and drawing toolset
Create or modify images with a wide assortment of professional, fully
customizable paint settings, artistic brushes, and drawing tools.

Advanced compositing
Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Adobe®
Photoshop® layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers
command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align
them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.

3D compositing and texture editing
Easily render and incorporate rich 3D content into your 2D composites — even
edit existing textures on 3D models directly within Photoshop Extended and
immediately see the results. Photoshop Extended supports common 3D interchange formats, including 3DS, OBJ, U3D, KMZ, and COLLADA, so you can import, view, and interact with most 3D models.

Movie Paint
Enhance video directly within Photoshop Extended. Now you can paint, add text,
and clone over multiple frames of an imported video sequence.

2D and 3D measurement tools
Extract quantitative information from images with new measurement tools. Easily
calibrate or set the scale of an image, and then use any of the Photoshop
Extended selection tools to define and calculate distance, perimeter, area, and
other measurements. Record data points in a measurement log and export data,
including histogram data, to a spreadsheet for further analysis.

Faster, more flexible asset management with Adobe Bridge CS3
Organize and manage images more efficiently with next-generation Adobe Bridge
CS3 software, which now delivers improved performance, a Filter panel for easier
searching, the ability to group multiple images under a single thumbnail, the
Loupe tool, offline image browsing, and more.

Better raw-image processing
Process raw images with increased speed and superior conversion quality using
the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in, which now adds support for JPEG and TIFF
formats; new tools including Fill Light and Dust Busting; compatibility with
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ software; and support for over 150 camera models.

Enhanced Vanishing Point with 3D support
Edit in perspective on multiple surfaces — even those connected at angles other
than 90 degrees — with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which also lets you measure in perspective; wrap graphics, images, and text around multiple planes; and output 2D planes as 3D models.

Wide range of supported formats
Import and export an even greater range of file formats, including PSD, BMP,
DICOM, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, and TIFF.

Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment.. Your past is past nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness.. For your own sake, learn from it and then let go..

Is it love or something else?

2007-07-30T22:54:00.000+08:00

1. Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing? and your voice caught within your chest?it isn't love, it's like.
2. You can't keep your hand off them, am I right?it isn't love, it's lust
3. Are you proud and eager to show them off?it isn't love, it's luck
4. Do you want them because you know they're there?it isn't love, it's loneliness
5. Are you there because it's what everyone wants?it isn't love, its loyalty
6. Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't want to hurt them?it isn't love, its pity
7. Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?it isn't love, it's lack of confidence
8. Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?it isn't love, it's infatuation
9. Do you tell them that everyday they are the one you think of?it isn't love, it's a lie
10. Are you willing to give up all your favorite things for their sake?it isn't love, it's charity
11. Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?it isn't love, it's friendship
12. Do you accept their faults because it's part of who they are?then it's love
13. Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?then it's love
14. Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply, it hurts?then it's love
15. Do you stay because a blinding incomprehensible mix of pain, and elations pulls you close and hold you?then it's love
16. Are you attracted to others but stay with them faithfully with no regrets?then it's love
17. Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?then it's love
18. And always remember - love isn't one sided!! - Both must love for LOVE to exist!

flirting disasters

2007-07-30T22:33:00.000+08:00

You disconnect, on purpose or not obviously, if you don't want to talk to the girl anymore or you're looking to get out of the bar in general, slowing down the conversation or pulling back a bit is natural. But sometimes we've watched women who swear to us they were really into the guy seem to suggest they'd rather be home knitting. A lot of times it's because they get scared they're being too forward, so they tone it down a little bit to make the guy want more. But the thing is: Girls aren't subtle. They don't see that they're supposed to mix the outgoing person you were 10 minutes ago with the reserved person you've just become, and presto! They've seen the real you. Because while you think you're playing coy, you're actually just reading cold.

A friend of ours decided just the other night that he wasn't going to stick around to see if he could follow through with this one woman he'd been talking to all night because she continued to excuse herself, every 15 minutes or so, to go outside and have a cigarette when they were in the middle of a conversation. Understand, this dude doesn't have a problem with women who smoke -- or at least it's not a deal breaker. But since he doesn't have a nicotine addiction, he didn't understand that she wasn't just trying to make an excuse to take breaks because he was boring her. If you're really interested in a guy, see if you can stick around for slightly longer intervals. Or ask him if he'd like to come join you, if you do in fact need to get up every 15 minutes for a break. Otherwise, don't be surprised if there's someone else on your bar stool when you return.

You engage with other people
A guy absolutely wants to know that you'll get along with his friends and his mother. Like, a couple of months from now. But all he cares about right now is that you get along with him. When we were asking our friends and customers what could turn them off a woman, the same answer came up again and again: talking to other guys around them. As one pointed out, "Even if I understand in the back of my head that she's doing it to impress me that other guys think she's witty and sexy, all I can think is, 'Fine. Then let one of the other guys have her.'" Obviously, this isn't to say that you shouldn't be polite and nice to the bartender (of course), or the guy's friends if he's out with them and introducing you. But you should monitor your tone so that he understands that the way you're acting with him is special and different from the way you act with men in general. Remember: For that moment, he wants to believe that he's the only one in the room for you.

You kvetch
We beg you to remember the facts of life: Women bond by going out and talking about every detail of their lives. Men bond by going to a football game and talking about nothing. Do not confuse them, please. Even three martinis in, men will eye the nearest exit if you start to talk about trouble in your life. You think you're sharing an intimate moment; he sees a long, potholed road ahead if he doesn't kick the taco stand and kick it fast. "As soon as a woman starts talking about what's going wrong in her life, I automatically lose interest," one friend says. "I'd like to hear about those things maybe on date four or five, when we're really getting into the nitty-gritty of knowing each other. But isn't she supposed to be trying to impress me when we first meet? I know I'm sure as hell trying to impress her, and I'd like the same treatment back."

You act like a crazy person
To avoid coming across like that woman who thinks she's being charismatic when she's merely speaking way too loud and annoying everyone around her, keep your little "eccentricities" in check. Because while your dramatic emotional life may be just that, it can read to men as nuts. As one of our friends says elegantly: "Sexiness is balance. Nothing is a bigger turnoff to me than a woman who seems unstable. That's not exciting. That's exhausting and boring." Another friend agrees. "I'm not saying I want a woman who is emotionless," he explains, "but falling apart constantly just gets tiresome. Eventually, all men see it as a pointless cry for attention or a passive-aggressive play for leverage."

You confuse flirting with fighting
Remember the part about playing nicely with others? Well, we're going to circle back to that for a minute, because another thing we hear all the time is women deciding that picking a playful fight with a guy is a way of showing him she's interested. It's not. "It drives me totally nuts to watch a woman think that she's being witty when she's just being argumentative," moans one guy who's happily found his match. "I love a witty woman -- my fiancée can talk circles around me when she gets going -- but I hate a woman who picks arguments that are not enlightening or entertaining, just exhausting." And we can't believe we actually have to say this, but our friends have asked us to, since we have the chance: No hitting. Not flirtatiously. Not playfully. Not for nothing. "That drives me crazy!" one guy says. "It's this automatic go-to for a lot of women, where they get overexcited with some hormonal rush or something and she punches me in the arm to make a point. No, no, no. I'm not a sparring partner."

You speak in future tense
We're still stunned this many years later by how many women turn the topic, after an hour with a guy, toward the future. Let's be brutally honest for a minute: You may have had your trousseau picked out since you were 7, but no man grows up longing to be married. Not one. Sure, they all assume at some point they'll settle down, have a couple of kids and a nice house somewhere, but the thought hardly fills him with the excitement of, say, the Super Bowl. How many weddings have you been to where the groom gives a toast that says something to the effect of: "Wow, she snagged me when I least expected it"? As one of our buddies attests, speaking for so many men, "The worst thing a woman could do when we first meet is turn to me and say, 'So, what do you think about love?'"

So let's say that unknowingly, you may have erred in one of these directions. It's not too late to save the night, because you can still get out with your dignity intact. And that means recognizing he's mustering up the energy to cut bait, and then do it first.

what women want

2007-07-25T03:53:00.000+08:00

1. Mr. Nice Romantic Guy

He'll show up with flowers, leave cards around your apartment and quote Keats on a whim. Think old-fashioned courtship where you're being wooed instead of sitting by the phone wondering if he'll call.

What he'll teach you: This affectionate man will show you a softer side of our male counterparts (what a relief to have someone fawn over you for a change!), all the while raising your expectations of how you wish to be treated. After realizing that there are guys out there who understand the importance of a random note or kiss in the moonlight, you'll be less likely to stay with someone who degrades or ignores you in the future.

The catch: Most of the time, these guys are in love with the idea of love. This means they will come on strong but lose momentum in the long haul as the reality of a relationship sets in (i.e. disagreements, uneventful days), but that doesn't mean you shouldn't date him and enjoy the experience. Just keep a level head while he floats around you.

2. Mr. Big Shot

He dresses sharp, talks slick and has the perfectly coiffed looks of a man straight out of a lad mag. One look at him in his tailored suit and you're toast -- which is exactly why he wears it.

What he'll teach you: From sending your nether regions to Brazil (Mr. Big Shot doesn't do granny panties) to the proper way to age a Cabernet, you're in for a crash course in the finer way of life. Dinners will be four-star and the conversation will be witty. You'll walk away from this relationship more sophisticated and well aware of your own inner vixen.

The catch: As the 007 of romance, he's going in for the kill. He knows exactly what he's doing and the effect it's having on you -- and every other girl around him. The odds of this guy slipping out of his suit and into a comfy relationship are low, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy the smooth ride around the town while it lasts.

3. Mr. Sexy Older Guy

He's old enough to have settled into his skin and has been involved with enough women to know that you require much more than dinner and a few martinis to get into the mood. Best of all, he never makes you late for dinner because he's playing Xbox.

What he'll teach you: He has a lifetime of experience to share (in and out of the bedroom), which will likely keep you on your toes (and curling them, too!). Plus, he'll show you how to see life in a different way. No matter how long it lasts or how it ends, you'll walk away worldlier -- and will never settle for a measly five minutes of foreplay again.

The catch: Despite what Demi and Ashton might say, age is more than a number. If you are just starting to get comfortable in your skin and he's shed his several times, there is a good chance you'll have issues with long-term compatibility. Sure, he's hot now, but how will you feel in 10 years? Give one another a thrill, then move onto someone you both can relate to.

4. Mr. Man's Man

He carries your bags, will defend your honor and would rather swallow glass than shave his chest or take hot wax to his eyebrows.
What he'll teach you: This rough rogue will have you relishing in your femininity like no other. Why? There is something about raw masculinity that brings out the damsel in all of us. Dating this bruiser will show you how fun it can be when he shows you who the man is (think Rhett Butler when he scooped Scarlett up those stairs). Dating him will do one of two things: make you squeal with delight or appreciate your ability and right to wear the pants sometimes. Regardless, be sure to play Scarlett at least once -- trust us.
The catch: You're dying to be wined and dined, but he's already made plans to meet you down at the pub. This is the guy who gets inspired by Braveheart and cries only "out of frustration." He's also prone to affairs… with his favorite sports teams. Oh, and forget about asking him to hold your purse while you do anything -- he wouldn't dare.

5. Mr. Fun Social Guy

Whether he's out with friends or meeting the family for brunch, one thing's for certain: He's going to be the life of the party.
What he'll teach you: There is something very attractive about a man who's always ready to have a good time. You'll laugh a lot and learn how to go with the flow and let things slide. These types are often quite spontaneous, which means you should be ready for anything from a quickie to a quick dash to Vegas.
The catch: Most people are social because they like the company of others, but Fun Social Guys are social because they love to be the center of attention -- and they love the excitement of something new. This poses an issue for long-term loves because: A) Who wants to be an audience member 24/7, and B) Let's face it: Relationships can get dull at times -- what will he do then? Enjoy the roller-coaster ride, but don't be afraid to walk away to more stable ground.

Love Lesson

2007-07-25T03:43:00.001+08:00

If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person’s heart.

If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him/her, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, do not cause pain.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time.

Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you.

Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in anyway you can. There is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need. They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who seeks love.

They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into saying.

You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.

Love always has been and always will be a mystery.
Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

How to talk so girls will listen!

2007-07-25T03:31:00.000+08:00

Maybe there’s a girl in class you really like a lot but you’re not sure she even knows you exist. Or perhaps there’s one who is kind of shy… and seems like she’d make a good friend. Or one who is really smart who you kind of admire. If they were boys, you’d have no problem starting a conversation… but they’re not….and you can’t. We here at being boyz remember the feeling. And lucky for you, in the spirit of Saint Valentine, we’d love to share what we’ve learned through the years. Listen up and soon she’ll be listening to you!

Girls like to talk about themselves. All people do. One of the easiest ways to get to know a girl is to ask her questions. You could ask “What did you think of that test this morning?” or ask about some sport she’s interested in. Don’t ask questions that could be answered by yes or no cause then the conversation is over. Music, TV shows and movies are also good topics.

Laughter is contagious. A wise man once said, “Laughter is the best medicine,” and he was right. When you’re happy and laughing, it’s contagious, so don’t be afraid of showing off your sense of humor. If making people laugh is not one of your strengths, search the Internet for jokes or fun anecdotes that you can bring up in conversation.

Don’t be a chatty Cathy. No one likes a chatter box. When we’re nervous we all tend to ramble on but overpowering a conversation and forgetting to ask questions doesn’t show a person you’re interested in hearing about them. Look for clues. If she’s wearing a baseball cap, ask her how his team is doing. If she plays a particular video game, ask about her highest score. These types of questions will definitely instigate a conversation.

Don’t be so focused on impressing her that you’re tempted to lie. While we all tend to embellish the truth a bit, you are much better off being open and honest. Lying about who you are will only come back to haunt you later on. Share the parts of your life that are most rewarding… your friends, your family, and your personal interests. Don’t be afraid to talk about what you do best. It’s not showing off. It’s sharing.
