HAPPY NEW YEAR

nce again another year passed, for those counting their age and conscious of their physical appearance I would say another line on your forehead.

Auld Lang Syne song is played again and to every new years’ eve, but do know what it mean. I don’t until today.

The song I as Scottish title translated in English literally as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago" or "days gone by". Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "In the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "Once upon a time..." in his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language (from Wikipedia).

Test Your Mind - Optical Illusion

Experience make a person perceive life differently. This is why every individual is unique from the rest. Your outlook in life is not the same as mine or even to your own partner.

Now with this picture what do you see?

If you see an intimate couple this mean you're a mature person who either experience or aware of this intimacy.

Show this picture to a child they will tell you about the 9 dolphins on the image. If you find it hard to see those dolphin you have a very corrupted mind. :D

Exhausting TV Series

Every night after daily news Filipino family are treated with loads of tagalog TV series that entertain Pinoy viewers. An all in one package of tv shows from drama, comedy, suspense, adventure and action from the hottest celebrities and biggest network. This started way back as i can remember and from then on it seem the theme has not changed. Though the production is more lucrative with more technology involved plus the advertisement.

Yesterday, because it is a weekend in the middle east, i had a chance to see the shows along other Pinoy enthusiast (exclude me, just can't change the channels) from both of the main networks available. Don't get me wrong but we were not entertained by the show but with many Kabayans commenting and making jokes of the shows lousiness. Who would not notice the same story line of love triangle between the "bida" and "contra bida". The main characters are both naive of what the antagonist is doing and thinking. The supporting characters support the protagonist stupid decisions. The antagonist being so clever and wise. (this is why my son always wanted to play the bad guys when playing with his friends) How the characters are all placed in a straight line facing the camera. How the characters deliver a script "walang kabuhay-buhay" not realistic. How the action hero is bitten so many times yet survived and make a come back in the end. The super hero is sluggish as a turtle in it's action scenes. Or the same actors/actress but with different character name and title show "di naman bagay iyng role, pinilit lang kasi popular. These are the reasons why i don't watch back home this tv series.

It was really a good and bonding experience when Filipinos meet sharing views and thoughts about a specific topic especially for Filipino entertainments, politics and issues. It ease the pressure of homesick. It show how Pinoy think even in bad situation. Cool di ba!

Beauty in My Eyes

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that is what my high school professor insisting when she defend her story of how much she is adored by her husband. What a funny cheerful old lady she was back then. But her claims are all true for Pinoys it's a stereotype perception to be beautiful one must have a caucasian features. Like white skin tone, pointed nose, colored hair and taller than the usual Pinoy. But where did we come up with this kind of thinking. Not that television and magazine has to do with it...but because we were colonized by two caucasian race, the Spaniards and the Americans (excluding the sakang race :-) This is why their offspring became the standard of beauty. But what if the perfect beauty is engulf by imperfections like this picture i got from worth1000.com (picture created by graphic experts)

She has caucasian feature but she is overweight. But if you look closer she is also the one on the bottom picture. Amaze about their resemblance....one thing is sure that a perfect beauty is a beauty skin depth. That's what beauty in my eyes..what is yours?

Doomsday! Death of Superman

All things has a beginning and an end, even for superheroes!

The well known and loved superhero of all time created by Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster released by Detective Comics, Inc, now DC comics, on it's first issue of Action Comics on June 1938 (70 years ago).

"The Man of Steel" is dead! Superman Doomsday an animation movie from Warner brothers released in American, September 2007 by IMBD.

The comic book was Death of Superman, released in 1993, where Doomsday fights all justice league heroes with one hand behind his back and just minutes later all heroes were defeated. Very powerful...plus everytime Doomsday is hit he grew ever more stronger, larger and armors bones comes out of his body...but in the end Superman stopped him but after exerting all his strength Superman dies in the arms of Lois Lane. It was a sad ending comic i read way back in 1994, while i was still on college. but it made me more excited to have the following issue after Doomsday titled "The Man of Steel" (i'll give the detail next time). For now here is an image i made for superman's death. (photos from flickr, i just masked out and combined :-)

Four Wheel Motorbike

Have you encounter the questionnaire about distinguishing dominant character by choosing between a fighter plane and a race car. What a terrible assessment it ain't practical. Who could afford a fighter plane for his personal use plus the price. If the price is like a car i'm sure every body would buy one, right!

What's better is if the chooses are a motorbike and a car. Would that be an easier choice? Guess what - the most popular pick, yeah your right, is the car. It's s safe, comfortable, versatile and utility wise..well if your a boring person you'll definitely choose this one. But if your an adrenaline junkie like this two buds (picture from dirk huijssoon of flickr, i just combine them) you'll pick the motor bike. If you want to drive with control and feel the nature, it's the favorite pick. But many dont' want to or scare to drive a motor bike because of it's accident hazard nature. Plus majority of street accident involving motor bike has a huge fatality. But now with KTM, Europe's second largest motorcycle maker, teaming up with Audi to make driving on two wheel motor bike a pleasure ride. They created the X-Bow a 2.0 liter direct injection turbocharges 4 cylinder engine that produces 220 bhp on four wheels. The estimated accelaration from 0-60 mph is less than 4 seconds. (that's the same speed as a ferrari and lamborghini). Why is it like driving a motorbike...it's because...X-bow don't have any doors, no wind shields, no roof and you have to have a helmet to drive. No more worrying about your balance...in this four wheel motorbike..your dream to be a biker is at hand.


X-bow in action (picture from autospies, i just make it more faster :-)

Now lets put those two motor bike buddies on X-bow how would they react. Their face says it all. :-)

Lucky 777 baby!


July is a lucky month for the year 2007. An mystical importance of numbers 777 took place this month. Lucky but its would never come again (not after another century or so).

Many believers did different thing to mark this lucky day. Though it may be lucky or not we will never know, specially for you and me that did not received anything on that day. But like what they say that luck come unexpectedly. Here is a story of true luck on that day. From AFP's Rawstory:

"A baby girl born on July 7, 2007 -- 07/07/07 -- in the back of a Thai taxi bearing the licence plate 7777 is to receive a scholarship worth 700,000 baht (21,000 dollars), a college said Wednesday.

The girl, who has not yet been named but received the nickname "Seven," is just days old, but the Panyapiwat Institution of Technology has promised her a bursary until she graduates.

"It is an unconditional scholarship that we gave to her because she was born on July 7 of the year 2007, and in a taxi with the licence plate 7777," said Ratana Prasertsom, the rector of the institute.

"And when the mother and girl checked in at the hospital, they were given room 707 on the seventh floor." (View the full story here)

Lucky ah!

Don't! Stop! How about don't stop!

Curiosity kills the cat. Bainybimbo's bobo button is so irresistible. If you don't want to know what will happen next please don't press the red button.




Put The Big Red Button on your site



If you're in total control of your temptation to press that button, how about testing how not dumb you are? They also have other quiz like relationship and games.

How smart are you?



07/07/07 A Day of Luck or Just Another Day

Rabbit's foot, four leaf clover and house shoe are some common things that people believes to attract good luck. Much more are Chinese; that belief certain type of fruits and plant with proper quantity, presentation and location could attract more luck. Now that the date is 07/07/07 or July 7, 2007 (777 lucky) many people are optimistic for good luck, but is this a lucky day or just another day of the week. I recall a news last month about the astral alignment of time and date; that the time 12:03:04 am/pm to the date 05/06/07 would be lucky. While other contradict because different place have different time zone and that the Europeans write their date by day:month:year format. This is for the Gregorian calendar only, how about the Arabic Calendar the year is 1428 to them.

Well for Pinoys this charm number "777" attracts many believer, be it for lotto, basketball ending, jueting..etc (gambling also not only :-). Remember Mayor Sanchez of Laguna; he has his cars, door and house with this number. Today many weddings took place all over the world just to get this 777 marked in their anniversary. I bet the unlucky husband that complain about their wife, also file their annulment papers today for a good luck..lol. (Any report on this?).

If your such a believer of good luck charm, you could improvise your own. How about a Durian fruit on the front of your house to keep away the "tambays" from flocking on your swing (they won't resist the foul smell). Personally I don't believe in this luck charm, be it today's 777 or next year's 888, for me it's my faith to The Mighty One and everything else will follow.

:okay:

What Kind of Thinker Are You? My Result!

I got my memory jump start again after regularly playing the Lumosity Mind Challenge it's fun and free. Now here is another challenge/test to know What Kind of Thinker Are You? This will take a short time to answer. All you need to do is to choose from the word pair what best describes your character and click that box. Just be careful not to choose something simply because you'd like to have those characteristics. The more honest you are with yourself, the more accurate the test will be. And remember, there is no right or wrong answer! (Resources by: Ilker Yoldas master thinkers)

After taking the test here is my result. It's quite long!

E Akino, You are an Analytical Visionary

You know how to mix the "how" and the "why."



Your Communication Style

Creative Thinker

You love to think, logically and creatively. You are most productive at work when you are solving problems by analyzing specific situations or by creating multiple options. You're adept at strategic planning at the highest levels.

Sixth-Sense Awareness

You are very aware of what's happening around you and/or what's going to happen in the future. It's almost like you have a sixth sense. You see the forest where most people are looking at trees or clumps of trees. This gives you a vision toward which to direct people's energies and thought processes. When you do this, people are amazed and excited about following your vision and strategies.

You're also able to break the vision and strategies into workable components that are easy to understand because they are linear, logical and uncomplicated. You also always ask a very important question when you're thinking through the solutions: "What is missing or doesn't fit?" Others on the project are surprised when you question your own assumptions, facts and logic.

Leading Others You have an unassuming manner in getting people to follow what you want them to do. Some of the reasons you're so successful at getting people to follow your vision and strategies are as follows:

1. Before you speak and ask others to do something, you have the whole project meticulously laid out so it makes sense and it's easy to follow;
2. You ask for input and genuinely try to accommodate the plan to what people suggest;
3. When problems arise, you can be very creative in finding, or assisting others in finding, optional ways to handle the situations
4. And, as a whole, your mannerisms and your ways of communicating are clear and personable.
Your Communication Skills

Your communication skills are exceptional. You have a way of making people very relaxed and open during a dialogue with you. You pick up the most salient points and nonverbal gestures during a conversation. Then, you imaginatively redirect them in along your own lines of thought so that people feel they have fully participated in the process.

Respecting Others’ Needs

The one thing you don't like to do is to push or cajole others into doing something they are resisting. Yes, the project must be finished, but not at the expense of other people's individual feelings or integrity. Your respect for the rights of others supersedes the immediate need to accomplish the goal as planned. You'll find a creative way to meet the challenge while including the personal preference of the individual. That's why people enjoy being on a team or project with you. It's also why many people follow you even though you don't like to think of yourself as a great leader.

Communication Tips

People who have a predominantly Left-brain Abstractthinking style thrive on careful analysis of all pertinent factors before making any decisions. Their style is naturally systematic and detail-oriented, characterized by the pursuit of logic, predictability and discipline. They may appear distant and aloof at times, as they prefer to listen rather than talk. They tend to stick to the rules and stay within the confines of their orderly world.

When communicating with a Left-brain Abstract person, you are likely to experience the following characteristics:

* You might find their passion for logical analysis to be ponderous or overly pedantic at times, but if you keep an open mind, their conclusions could be beneficial to you.
* In situations where you must collaborate on a project or a plan, their tendency to stick to the rules can be limiting to your own creative visions. Present your optional ideas as logical alternatives worthy of consideration.
* They may appear distant and aloof at times, as they prefer to listen rather than talk. Don't take this personally or assume they're arrogant. Remember that they're absorbing and processing information before they render an opinion.
* They can be a valuable source of background or historical information, which you sometimes tend to overlook while you aim for the "big picture." Nevertheless, expect them to provide more details than you might care for.

People who have a predominantly Right-brain Concrete thinking style thrive on interacting with people and being the center of attention. They inspire others with their charm and warm personality. They can read other people very easily and use their intuitive skills to adapt effortlessly to changing situations. They are excellent at exciting and persuading others to follow their suggestions. They often speak without spending too much time thinking about what to say.

When communicating with a Right-brain Concrete person, you are likely to experience the following characteristics:

* At times, you might find their ebullient need to be the center of attention to be overpowering or annoying.
* Like therapists, they can sometimes encourage you to open up and confide with them about personal problems or concerns you have. You're usually okay with this, as long as they don't pry too deeply or push their solutions too strongly.
* As much as you think before you speak, they think by speaking. They are excellent at exciting and persuading others to follow their suggestions.
* Even if they don't take logic or factual data into account, they may come up with innovative or imaginative ideas that are worthy of your consideration.
* Since you both like to come up with ideas, the verbal interaction can be both personally rewarding and productive. They may not share your visionary creativity, but they often have an intuitive sense of what is most suited for you.
* They can sometimes seem manipulative in getting their way. While you might find their personal charm and charisma irresistible, don't allow yourself to be swayed in a direction that you know is not right for you.

People who have a predominantly Left-brain Concrete thinking style are action-oriented and thrive on challenge. As movers of people and organizations, they enforce rules, focus on goals, meet deadlines, and demand immediate action. They typically avoid getting bogged down in details and want to go directly to the bottom line. They prefer short and easy action-items or conclusions. They are decisive people who want to get things done quickly and efficiently.

When communicating with a Left-brain Concrete person, you are likely to experience the following characteristics:

* You might find their style at times overbearing or in some cases, even intimidating. As a result, you're likely to interact with them only as much as absolutely necessary.
* When it comes to solving problems, they view feelings or abstract concepts as intrusions that prevent them from reaching a firm conclusion. You'd be better off not allowing your feelings to become too much of an issue.
* On the other hand, your feelings about certain situations are paramount to your comfort level, so don't be afraid to let them know how important that is to you.
* There might be times that you will feel they are pushing too hard to get you to make a final decision. On the other hand, you might be struggling with all the options you're considering and could benefit from their decisive nature.
* Don't be offended by their direct talk if it seems abrupt � they are goal-oriented people who know how to get things done.

When communicating with another Left-brain Concrete, you are likely to experience the following characteristics:

* Like you, they tend to be visionary thinkers who look at the big picture and try to understand how things relate to each other.
* They value creative, inspirational options as much as you do. They can usually provide interesting alternatives that would be worth your while to consider. At times, however, you might become a bit irritated with their tendency to go off on tangents when you're trying to focus on a particular issue of concern.
* With the tendency you both have to procrastinate while exploring your options, one of you will need to refocus your energies on making a decision when the need to accomplish something arises.
* You are both open-minded and feelings-oriented. Together, you are likely to create a relaxed, low-key atmosphere based on trust and good rapport.
* Remember to be patient with their quiet, reflective nature; just like you, they may be thinking of other options that are more suitable for you or for themselves.
* Ultimately, you both need to feel comfortable with how your decisions fit into your world.

Not A Story of Ugly Duckling

A well loved story by Christian Andersen is the Ugly Duckling. Who have not heard this story? Be it from the books or disney's episode of cartoon movie, this story inspires humility and persistence in life. Life with all adversity; an effort of strength (like the ugly ducking) will someday end all all thing will become beautiful. This story stays with me until now.

Not all stories are like the ugly duckling. Like Angelica Panganiban! She is a loved at a young age, is was adored by many including her young innocent look. I watch her roles in Princess Sarah and comedy gigs in Ang TV. Her teenage life in Gimik (this was the 90's, also my teenage time). Showbiz have given her many recognition. But i never thought she could give more.

Like a caterpillar that becomes butterfly and a flower that bloom to give out it's smell and beauty. Angelica Panganiban is a butterfly with all beauty.

See her metamorphosis.

At her early teens



Her metamorphosis to a butterfly.

FHM March 2007 Cover

She even cover many 2007 calendars. The pictures are from her un-retouch photo shots to the actual calendar.
