The Misadventures of Penoi

Tagalog muna tayo!!!! Night shift :( nakakahilo at nakakapagod sa katawan. Pero ang maganda dito, pagdating ng madaling araw eh wala na halos ginagawa. Hintay hintay lang ng mga alerts. Binisita ko ang dati kong blog na penoycentral.blogdrive.com Kuwela nga pla dati ang mga entry ko sa blog na kung saan eh wiling wili sa pagbabasa ang asawa ko ngayon.

Kasayang balik balikan ang mga entry ko noon. Hindi ko akalain na nakakapag-blog ako ng ganun. Siguro hindi masyadong busy at nabibigyan ng time ang blogging. Siguro magandang ibalik ko ang dating penoycentral. Hay bahala na...

Sony announced its new PS3 Slim!!! Good news for gamers and sad news for Linux geeks though as this new console doesnt have an install other OS option.

Sony stated in the press materials. Apparently Linux just isn't entertaining enough to make the cut. 

I had my first Chuck Taylor when i was in my high school years. Shoes immortalized by Eraserheads in their Ultraelectromagneticpop album. Red in color bought using profit from selling sweet beans to my classmates.

Yesterday, my wife gave me Converse Chuck Taylor Metallica and Justice for All Edition as gift for our monthsary. Thanks Mama!!!

After the comment of Freddie Aguilar to Arnel Pineda and Charice Pempengco, many Filipino's throw their angst to Ka Freddie. One of this is vandalizing Freddie Aguilar's Wikipedia entry

Freddie Aguilar , better known as Aguilar The Talangka , is a mukhang unggoy folk musician from the Philippines. He is best known for the hit Anak ng Talangka, which became the anthem for the opposition to the Marcos regime during the 1986 People Power Revolution.[1] He is heavily associated with Pinoy rock.[2]

He is not well known internationally, and within the Philippines and Asia-Pacific region, claiming fame as the best imitator, fake song writer and singer of the Philippines.

Condolence to Aquino Family and to million Filipinos. Corazon Aquino, may she Rest in Peace.

Yesterday i upgraded my Samsung LCD TV LA40B6450T1M's firmware. At first im quite nervous. Oh come on, i dont want our very own 40 inches tv to become a brick. Downloaded firmware at www.samsung.com.sg/support page, unzipped software at my thumbdrive, load the firmware using the update utility of the TV.. and that's it. Proud owner of one of the latest LCD tv in the world with updated firmware.

Shocking news!!! King of Pop Michael jackson dies in a Los Angeles hospital. Cause of death still unknown.  More info at GMAnews

My native home town in San Pascual Batangas was hit by a tornado with hailstorm.  I could not imagine, not even in this lifetime that our town will experience snow(as the local folks believe in) Is this the effect of global warming? Where places that do not experience tornado has now tornado, places that do not experience typhoons, now experience typhoons, etc. So much for Knowing-like movies for me.

While looking for an alternative to VLC, i stumbled upon Kantaris a new media player.  Kantaris is a media player based from the source code of Videolan Client VLC and Bass audio library. It has cool 3d menu, last.fm, cool movie trailer and 3d video library. Also, kantaris support mp3, dvd and cd audio playing(search amazon and last.fm for cd covers and info).



Video Library for your locally saved movies. It searches IMDB database for movie covers and information

3D Menu

Kantaris media player is still on the early stage and have bugs but i can't wait for the final release.

We are contemplating to replace our borrowed TV. At first we are puzzled if we go for PLASMA TV or a LCD TV.  For some obvious reasons like power consumption, good gaming experience, price, etc. we opted for LCD TV. But now here's the deal, we are confused if we will go for Samsung LCD TV Series 5(around SGD1,900 for 40inches), or pay an extra bucks for Samsung LCD TV Series 6(around SGD2,700 40inches). Both have free DVD Home Theater system or a 21inches Flat TV.

I researched for the pros and con and found some interesting reviews from ProductWiki. Although im convinced(financially) on Series 5, my wife wants Series6 because of the Crystal Clear capability of that product line of LCD TV. Oh well, let see what happens.

The A(H1N1) Swine flu Kho Scandal

Philippines got the first A(H1N1) swine flu case yesterday.
Hopefully gumaling yung 10 yr old na may sakit at wag sanang kumalat ang sakit
Ang pinas talaga ayaw magpahuli sa uso.

I used to envy Doktor Hayden Kho. Good looks, good profession, great body and surrounded by beautiful old and young womens.
But after Kho's scandal circulate the internet and blue ray dvds in bangketa sells like hot cake, i realized that simple life is a blessing.
Hindi na ngayon ako ingit kasi tahimik ang buhay ko, hindi ako ginugulo ng PRESS people at wala akong hayden(hidden) camera

Kudoz to Kris Allen for winning American Idol Season 8. An upset for judge favorite Adam Lambert. Jam naman tayo sa isang araw!!!

Candy Pangilinan is on hot seat because of her joke about Igorot. If my mind serves me right, same thing happened to Lucy Torres
years way back on her comedy show "Richard loves Lucy"

Respect Man!!!

Today is my first day to jog without my wife. May work kasi siya ngayong umaga. Sana makasama siya sa susunod at magtuloy tuloy na ito kahit isang beses sa isang linggo. Kailangan ko na talaga ng exercise, at konting takbo lang eh pagod na ako. Tumatanda na talaga.

Marami namang nagjo-jogging sa Bedok Reservoir dito sa Singapore. 5 minutes bus ride lang from our flat. Kanya kanyang get-up ang mga tao. Merong akala mo ay kung saan lang pupunta, may mga lalaking malalaki ang katawan na nakahubad, at first time ko din makakita ng taong nagjo-jogging ng naka-apak. :) Next week ulit. Magpapagising ako ng maaga kay misis

India post their first A(H1N1) swine flu case. So how can we protect ourselves from the flu. Be healthy, clean and put a lot of prayers.  Tomorrow is San Pascual Baylon's fiesta, im sure our town will be infected by WINE flu :)

Hay... after 3 weeks of vacation... we are back in singapore... and have to face reality in life..  ganun talaga noh... kahit galing ka na sa bakasyon eh pagod pa din ang katawan mo.. and masama pa nito.. night shift ako for one week.. nag-eedit pa kami ng wedding pictures at honeymoon.. so stay tuned for that..

Congrats nga pala sa Pambansang Kamao ng Pinas na si Manny Pacman Pacquiao.. Galing talaga niya!!!!

Ah after months of non-stop preparations, finally, its about time to reach the peak. Rachel getting Married, errr not the movie.. But Rachel and i will finally take our vows before our Lord. Life is so fun!!! We accept cash as wedding gifts, hehehehe... will post wedding pictures soon!!!! Stay tuned!!!

Beware of entrusting your child to other people.  This video is disturbing....

Ah, my post for this event is so late. Happened last March 1 at the Marquee Singapore. Show starts at around 11:30 pm featuring the hottest band in the Philippines!!! 6Cyclemind, Afterimage, Bamboo, Imago, Razorback, Sandwich, Siakol and the Dawn. Sad thing Kamikazee, Parokya ni Edgar, Moonstar 88, and The Youth did not make it. The ticket lady said that they were already in Singapore but Singapore Immigration holds them(??).  But there were buzz that because of the low turnout of ticket sales other bands appearance was canceled.

As Jet Pangan quote before playing "Iisang Bangka".... "Tayong lahat dito ay kasya sa isang maliit na bangka!!!!" and Raimund Marasigan's "Sa susunod na punta dito ng Sandwich, kaya naming punuin ito!!!"

Sad but true. Maybe wrong advertisement and marketing or just an effect of recession. Btw, this concert was the farewell gig for After Image, disbanding for the 2nd time. Wency Cornejo was so emotional while singing "Mangarap Ka" :(
