The Misadventures of Penoi

I dont know about you, new Pinoy Big Brother is boring.  Or maybe Kuya's Bahay recently opened and the housemates are still adjusting inside the house.  Masyado pang mahiyain ang mga housemates...

Pero isa lang ang masasabi ko.. Minsan nakakabingi si Mariel.. Katok sa TFC, please bring back Precious Hearts Romance... :)

Many thanks to my wife as she allowed me to watch Mr Big Reunion Tour Singapore on Oct 18. I can't wait to see them live. They toured the Philippines when i was in 4th year high school but not lucky enough to watch them. Hopefully it will be a blast!!!! Bad thing we missed No Doubt last week :(

After typhoon Ondoy cause unbelievable flood in the Philippines, a 7.9 earthquake in Sumatra Indonesia and tremors reached Singapore and Malaysia.  Everyone is asking, what's next? Hopefully thru our faith in our Lord we can surpass this tragedy. Hindi tayo pababayaan ni Bro.

We bought cheap phone for Pinoy Jokes and Funny filipino SMS Text TXT Messages blog. It is a Nokia 1661 decent enough to receive txt messages contributions from my blog visitors.  My old Sony Ericsson k770i fucked up when we fly from Manila to Singapore.  Maybe the "static electricity" thing killed the phone. But im pretty sure that i turn my phone off. So as a precaution, better to remove your phone's battery before boarding the plane.

Holiday na naman sa Pinas. At isa yan sa mga namimiss ko sa Pinas.  Long weekends at Christmas Vacation. Working overseas demands much of your time. Kung baga eh kain lang at tulog ang pahinga. Hindi na din magtama ang schedule namin ni Misis. Paano kami magkakaroon ng munting Penoi nito. :(

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.
