I can't afford this car, but at least I like the commercial :D

 

Johann: "Why an old car, dad?"

Img_0471

My 6-year old son asked me today, "Dad, why do we have an old car? Can we buy a new, big car?" (Maybe he's pertaining to his cousins' new big car Hyundai Tucson).

I wanted to tell him, "Son, you see, our net assets / monthly net income cannot accomodate another big monthly ammortization such as a a new, big car. Besides, I don't think spending more for a big car is good stewardship of what God has entrusted to us. So, for now, until God tells us so, let's settle for our 2000 Toyota Corolla. It fits you, your sister and your mom. And as a bonus, it's not hot in the eyes of carnappers -- have you been watching the news lately? Promise, I'll take care of this because I'll pass this on to you 12 years from now. "

I can't tell him that, so I just said, "Sorry, son, we can't. "

LOL!

Do you hate your iPhone autocorrect? You're going to love this. :D

If you're using an iPhone, you're going to relate to this - big time! I'm been a victim of this over and over especially when typing a Filipino word. Sorry for some *bad* words -- well, that's just the reality ;) Enjoy!

If there'll be a new version of the popular mobile game "Angry Birds", it would be attacking policemen. Want proof?

LOL!

You can be funny and miss the main point by being funny.

I have to admit, I'm not a funny guy. I'm trying to be funny sometimes, and I just love my wife for laughing at my jokes (even if I know people will laugh at her for laughing at my jokes :) )

But seriously, I'm totally ok with not being funny as long as I am getting the message across to the other line clear and simple.

You want to know when being funny is NOT a good thing? Read on.

I posted a simple $10 task requirement at oDesk. It's very simple I asked possible respondents to just tell me if they can do it straight and easy and not go through the long canned messages. Others are good, others totally missed it, but this one's special. Here's the dude's cover letter:

I was laughing when I read this. Really, he gave me some entertainment. He was trying to be funny and catchy on his communication. And by being funny he totally missed the receiving end of his communication. So, in appreciation of his hard work, I declined his application and wrote him a simple, straight forward reply:
Funny
Lesson: make people laugh, that's cool. But don't forget that nothing beats a straight forward, honest communication.

I bet my wife will love this as a Christmas gift

Get angry, Angry Birds! Angry Birds rule! :D

Baliw na baliw ang mga Indonesian girls sa Younghusband brothers. Pano nalang si Christian Bautista nyan. :D

Younghusband

He's everywhere. In your TV screens. In your computer. In your roads. And yes, even in your rooms.

Linus Torvalds (Linux founder) enjoying Windows 7? Or not!

Dsc_1576

Microsoft tried to torpedo the success of the Japan Linux Symposium by launching their Windows 7 product that same day. They even had setup a big promotion booth across the street from the conference center.

During a break, we decided to make some fun of Microsoft and dragged Linus over there. When we arrived there, Linus was sold immediately on the product as you can see in the picture. At least that's what the sales guy thought. He obviously had no idea who he was dealing with. But in the end Linus surprisingly did not buy a copy. Wise man!

NOPE!
