I have a history of trying out a couple of ways to lose weight and failing at them, miserably. Everytime. Losing weight is kind of a pressing matter for me, because I am slowly starting to resemble a blimp and blimps walking around in malls aren’t generally accepted in society. Anyway, yeah, diet. I need to do it fast. Plus exercise.Finding lunch that doesn’t leave me starving five minutes after I take my last bite isn’t exactly an easy feat. If I want to be full, I’d either go to one of the several fast-food outlets that are surrounding the office. Now that’s a bit of a problem, you see, because I usually go crazy and order the fucking biggest items on their menu and gorge like a pig. This usually results in me scaring the shit out of the people in the next table — you should see the looks of horror on their faces as they watch me eat the shit out of my fried chicken.

Sooner or later, Foursquare must standardize it’s venue naming convention. Truth be told, it should be now not later. Venue naming is already chaotic and it only adds more duplicate venues than before.

I even saw one user entering the same venue 4 times and another venue 5 times! Why? The venue can be written in different ways. I can say this guy is a seasoned Foursquare user because he added a lot of other venues, we can assume that he is aware of the rules and guidelines in entering a new venue.

Last night, I was on my home when I saw an on-going rescue to help a man who went up at the tallest billboard in EDSA corner of Quezon Avenue. The man wants to commit suicide or so it appears from everyone at the ground.

Here are some of my thoughts and report of what happened from the ground (the reactions of the people, their views, sentiments) and the objective of the man who went all the way up of the billboard, endangering his own life as well as others.

I know very few people who don’t like chocolate. In fact I am fortunate to be surrounded by friends and family who mostly love chocolate. You will actually notice a lot of what I have in this blog talk about some form of chocolate candy, drink or dessert. And my ultimate dream is to be able to perfect my own version of a moist chocolate cake.

SM Cyberzone officially launched on April 30th at SM Southmall, Las Piñas City. For those who are not familiar or just took the “SM Cyberzone” area for granted, it is a project of SM Supermalls in creating the best I.T. hubs in the Philippines.

But if like us you are a regular of SM Mall of Asia then you already know about the project since two years ago. I think the SM Cyberzone at SM Mall of Asia was a trial run, a sort-of live sandbox.

I found this news rumor on Broadwayworld.com.

Broadway World is such a respectable site for everything Broadway/Theater and the like. It is very surprising to find how they can run a story without validation. Nonetheless, their main source is from the Philippine Daily Inquirer and it quoted Charice’ manager Grace Mendoza.

“The Phillippine Daily Inquirer confirms that Charise, the Philippina singing sensation will join the cast of GLEE next season. Her manager, Grace Mendoza, tells the Inquirer: “Yes, it’s true, Charice will soon join GLEE… And not just as a guest, but as part of the cast in a new season.” [Note: Yes, they've misspelled Charice name and Filipina!]

Digging into it because I am a huge Glee fan, I found out the link to the Inquirer doesn’t exist anymore. Either they have been removed because it was false or they intentionally put the story up without confirmation other than rely on the manager’s words. In which case, I strongly suggest Charice fire her own manager for starting out an incredible story that isn’t true.

I have been fixing Foursquare venue entries for three weeks now and I keep on seeing the same problems over and over again. Duplicate entries, wrong addresses, venues that are supposed to be different but not, and different formatting or the lack thereof.

Officially, there are no standard formatting for venue names other than using the establishment’s “official” name. For example, instead of Starbucks it must be Starbucks Coffee; instead of Kenny Rogers the correct name to use is Kenny Rogers Roasters. Additionally, there is no way in their current system to avoid the creation of duplicate entries and wrong addresses, most of these are coming from their mobile apps particularly the Foursquare iPhone app.

Willie Revillame sends his resignation letter to the heads of ABS-CBN after weeks of leaving the show Wowowee.

In his letter, Willie asks that he be released from his contract with the network which is still 1.5 years premature. Here is a copy of the letter of resignation of Willie.

Apparently, it takes just a little for people to get excited over mundane shit. You see, yesterday, Jollibee was on Glee. And the internet literally just exploded. No, the kids of Glee didn’t eat there or anything.

They just danced in front of the fucking store, in a dream sequence, and of course it was caught on camera. Strangely enough, the internet was flooded with way too much Jollibee on Glee talk that it even was a trending topic on Twitter. Okay. Jollibee unseated Justin Fucking Bieber from the top of Twitter Trends. Imagine that.

In my first years as a priest I was requested by a group belonging to the charismatic renewal to talk to them about the Gospel of the coming Sunday. I willingly obliged. I witnessed how they would pray in tongues. It rattled me in the beginning. And it reminded me of my first exposure to this way of praying many years before…and it also rattled me then. If we read the Pentecost story of the Acts of the Apostles, it all finds its origin in the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Church. (Pentecost)

What exactly is a “sandbox MMOG” in the first place? Shouldn’t themepark MMOs better because the developer directs the game and controls the flow of the storyline?

I disagree, sandbox MMOGs are far better because it is YOU, the player and the community that moves forward the story of the world. YOU create history. YOUR every decision affects the greater whole.

May 16, 2010, Earth’s only natural satellite, the Moon, hid The Bright Evening Star – the Planet Venus. This is called an occultation, from the word “occult” which means “to hide”.

But last night’s astronomical event strikes a resemblance with the Islamic Crescent Moon and Star which you will see here.
