Meh. Been using globe duo since I got my postpaid line. It’s a cool feature because I got a manila landline number and I won the LANDLINE NUMBER LOTTERY, I got 2XX-1000!!!!! HOWS THAT FOR A LANDLINE NUMBER? :p

Then all of sudden I got an informercial text from Globe offering me this:

Free Globe Advisory: You can upgrade ur DUO to SUPERDUO to enjoy unlimited calls to any Globe/TM mobile nationwide on top of ur DUO subscription for only 499/30days. Just txt DUO OFF to 8888 to deactivate ur DUO and txt SUPERDUO
ON to 8888 to register for SUPERDUO. Unused DUO subscription fee will be credited to ur acct w/in 2 months. For the list of areas and more info, txt SUPERDUO INFO to 8888 for free. No Globe Advisories? Txt STOP to 2977 FREE

So I sat on it for a few hours because I just tried that 150 pesos 1 week thingie like the 238 then number. I am also quite worried about my landline number that came with the DUO that I have. I have it printed on my business cards and also told everyone who wants to know my landline number. Anyhow I called Globe customer services for 4 times just to confirm that I wont lose my JACKPOT number and they said no, I wont lose it.

So off I go and deactivated my DUO subscription. Then I made a mistake on texting SUPERDUO MM ON to 8888 when I received the text message that I need to reply YES in order for me to deactivate the DUO. So yeah I lost the ability to deactivate my DUO to upgrade it to SUPERDUO. I called the customer service and have then deactivate it for me. After going thru a lot of verification, they deactivated it and viola I registered for SUPERDUO and I RETAINED MY LANDLINE NUMBER. Boom boom pow yeah?

Now Im enjoying the unlimited globe to globe calls. Yes Im calling the one I am courting too and a typical call last like 3 hours. :( . This is a huge savings for me as I am paying about 7000 pesos per month on calls (150usd+).

Basically this is also the longest post I did. Good times ahead people.

Thank you for wasting your time.

I saw this note made by JP Loh at facebook and just pasted it here.

Today October 3, 2009, in a lunch meeting with my client MR. WYDEN KING, owner of KALINISAN STEAM LAUNDRY, INC., one of the biggest industrial laundry company in the country that serves various big establishments like hotels, hospitals, & garment factories, he has told me that KALINISAN is offering FREE LAUNDRY & WASHING of all clothing materials (linens, bedsheets, pants, shirts, dresses, etc.) to all victims of typhoon Ondoy in Marikina , Quezon City , Cainta, Pasig , Taguig, Antipolo City and other areas in NCR, Rizal & Southern Tagalog. He instructed me to help disseminate this information so Kalinisan can immediately serve our people.

After the meeting, I immediately called up Mayor Mon Ilagan of Cainta, Rizal about this development and texted various friends in the media. Then I went to the Kalinisan warehouse at No. 10 Manggahan St. , Bagumbayan, Libis, Quezon City where the factory is situated and conferred with the people in charge of the operations. I saw some dirty clothings already arriving from numerous victims and even saw more than 500 people-evacuees who are comfortably housed at the Kalinisan warehouse and supplied with foods, water and other needs mostly from Mrs. Peachy King, wife of Mr. Wyden King. Their condition is much-much better of than those who are now in other evacuation centers.

We enjoin the concerned LGUs, government agencies, NGO’s , foundations, other individuals and the victims themselves to bring to Kalinisan such cloth items if they have the logistics to do so, or coordinate with their respective LGUs how we can effectively carry out this mission.

You can get in touch directly to Kalinisan by calling or texting these numbers: Tels. 6350601 to 05 local 128; CP # 0917-8909577 look for ALEX MALCO; or 0917-8591917 look for ESPIE DITABLAN. Likewise, you may call or text me at 09178936630.

Please pass this Note to others & let us do our little share in helping and uniting our nation by alleviating the plight of those who are most in need at such kind of moment. God bless us all.

I bought the book after waiting for months. I got it from fullybooked at gateway araneta cubao. I think I was the first one who bought it from that store. I just finished reading the novel. Here’s my attempt at a review.

Basically the book is all about Freemasonry and the secrets it keeps. I wont go much on the details of the plot as this is really an interesting novel. The only faults I found was the book was a page turner at first few hundred pages then it drags on.

Interestingly the book covers the initiation rights of Freemasonry. Also some of the rituals that are for freemasons. I read somewhere the if Dan Brown is a mason, he wont have any liberty on telling this rituals. But the door is always open for him. Well the door is open for everyone.

The book deals with the founding fathers of USA. Most of the founding fathers are actually Freemasons. Well almost all our national heroes are Freemasons too. Jose Rizal is a Freemason. Bonifacio is one so is the one who ordered his murder Aguinaldo.

After reading Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol and want to know more about Freemasonry a lot of Freemasons are happy to talk to you. After all it is not a secret society but it is actually a society with secrets. As they say the door is always open for those who seek the truth.

and no I am not a Freemason. But I will be :)

Got this while browsing reddit.

Advice to Young Men from an Old Man

1.Don’t pick on the weak. It’s immoral. Don’t antagonize the strong without cause, its stupid.

2.Don’t hate women. It’s a waste of time

3.Invest in yourself. Material things come to those that have self actualized.

4.Get in a fistfight, even if you are going to lose.

5.As a former Marine, take it from me. Don’t join the military, unless you want to risk getting your balls blown off to secure other people’s economic or political interests.

6.If something has a direct benefit to an individual or a class of people, and a theoretical, abstract, or amorphous benefit to everybody else, realize that the proponent’s intentions are to benefit the former, not the latter, no matter what bullshit they try to feed you.

7.Don’t be a Republican. They are self-dealing crooks with no sense of honor or patriotism to their fellow citizens. If you must be a Republican, don’t be a ‘conservative.’ They are whining, bitching, complaining, simple-minded self-righteous idiots who think they’re perpetual victims. Listen to talk radio for a while, you’ll see what I mean.

8.Don’t take proffered advice without a critical analysis. 90% of all advice is intended to benefit the proponent, not the recipient. Actually, the number is probably closer to 97%, but I don’t want to come off as cynical.

9.You’ll spend your entire life listening to people tell you how much you owe them. You don’t owe the vast majority of people shit.

10.Don’t undermine your fellow young men. Mentor the young men that come after you. Society recognizes that you have the potential to be the most power force in society. It scares them. Society does not find young men sympathetic. They are afraid of you, both individually and collectively. Law enforcement’s primary purpose is to suppress you.

11.As a young man, you’re on your own. Society divides and conquers. Unlike women who have advocates looking out for them (NOW, Women’s Study Departments, government, non-profit organizations, political advocacy groups) almost no one is looking out for you.

12.Young men provide the genius and muscle by which our society thrives. Look at the Silicone Valley. By in large, it was not old men or women that created the revolution we live. Realize that society steals your contributions, secures it with our intellectual property laws, and then takes credit and the rewards where none is due.

13.Know that few people have your best interests at heart. Your mother does. Your father probably does (if he stuck around). Your siblings are on your side. Everybody else worries about themselves.

14.Don’t be afraid to tell people to ‘Fuck off’ when need be. It is an important skill to acquire. As they say, speak your piece, even if your voice shakes.

15.Acquire empathy, good interpersonal skills, and confidence. Learn to read body language and non-verbal communication. Don’t just concentrate on your vocational or technical skills, or you’ll find your wife fucking somebody else.

16.Keep fit.

17.Don’t speak ill of your wife/girlfriend. Back her up against the world, even if she’s wrong. She should know that you have her back. When she needs your help, give it. She should know that you’ll take her part.

18.Don’t cheat on your wife/girlfriend. If you must cheat, don’t humiliate her. Don’t risk having your transgressions come back to her or her friends. Don’t do it where you live. Don’t do it with people in your social circle. Don’t shit in your own back yard.

19.If your girlfriend doesn’t make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That’s what girlfriends are for.
20.Don’t bother with ‘emotional affairs.’ They are just a vehicle for women to flirt and have someone make them feel good about themselves. That’s the part of a relationship they want. For you it is a lot of work and investment in time. If they are having an emotional affair with you, they’re probably fucking someone else.

21.Becoming a woman’s friend and confidant is not going to get you into an intimate relationship. If you haven’t gotten the girl within a reasonably short period of time, chances are you won’t ever get her. She’ll end up confiding to you about the sexual adventures she’s having with someone else.

22.Have and nurture friendships with women.

23.Realize that love is a numbers game. Guys fall in love easily. You’re going to see some girl and feel like you’ll die if you don’t get her. If she rejects you, move on to the next one. It’s her loss.

24.Don’t be an internet troll. Got out and live life. There is not a cadre of beautiful women advertising on Craigslist to have NSA sex with you. Beautiful women don’t need to advertise. The websites that advertise with attractive women’s photos and claims of loneliness are baloney. All they want is your money and your personal information so that they can market to you. The posts on Craigslist by young ‘women’ seeking NSA sex, and asking for a picture are just a bunch of gay troll pic collectors. This is especially true if the post uses common gay lexicon like ‘hole’ as in ‘fuck my hole’ or seeks ‘masculine’ men, or uses the word cock (except in the context of ‘Don’t send a cock shot.’) There are women on Craigslist. They are easily recognizable by their 2-5 paragraph postings. Most are in their 30’s or older.

25.When you become a man in full, know that people will get in your way. People who are attracted to you will somehow manage to step in your path. Gay guys will give you ‘the look.’ Old people will somehow stumble in front of you at the worst time. Don’t get frustrated. Just step aside and go about your business. Know that these are passive aggressive methods to get you to acknowledge their existence.

26.Don’t gay bash. Don’t mentally or physically abuse people because of who they are, or how they present themselves. It’s none of your business to try to intimidate people into conformity.

27.If your gay, admit it to yourself, your parents, your friends and society at large. Be prepared to get harassed. See rule 14. If someone threatens you or assaults you, call the cops. Have them arrested. You have no obligation to self sacrifice because of who you are. As a gay person, you’ll have more social freedom than straight men. Use it to protect yourself. Be prepared to get out of Dodge if your orientation makes your life unbearable. Move to San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, or New Orleans. You’ll find a welcoming community there.

28.Don’t be a poser. Avoid being one of those dudes who puts a surfboard on top of their car, but never surfs, or a dude with a powder coated fixed gear bike and a messenger bag, but was never a messenger. Live the life. Earn your bona fides.

29. Don’t believe the crap about the patriarchy. More women are accepted and attend college. More degrees are awarded to women than men. Women outlive men. More men commit suicide. Men are twice as likely to be victims of violence, including murder. If you consider sexual assaults in prisons, twice as many men are raped as women (society thinks prison rape is funny). The streets are littered with homeless men, sprinkled with a few homeless women. Statically, women are happier than men. The myth that girls are being cheated by are educational system is belied by the fact that schools are bastions of femininity, mostly run by and taught by women. Girls outperform boys in school. It is the boys in school getting fucked over, and prescribed ritalin for being boys. Real wages for men are falling, while real wages for women are rising. Just because someone says something enough times, doesn’t make it true. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

30.Remember, 97% of all advice is worthless. Take what you can use, and trash the rest.

I saw the lifehacker’s article about people claiming they can multi task. Some researchers found out that

In a test of the degree of organisation of working memory, participants were presented with a series of letters, one at a time, and told to push a button when they saw a letter that they had seen exactly three letters previously.

Again, low multitaskers were significantly better at correctly spotting the repeated letters. Not only did the high multitaskers do worse from the beginning, they got worse at it as time went on.

So basically means you are just full of crap when you say you can actually multitask.

I also found a game for multitaskers though :) I had 70 points before my head exploded :(

Play Multitask, a free online game on Kongregate.
