family guy.

all right let's see how this works. 

googling.

during inumans, gusto gusto gid namon magtsismis parte sa amon nga mga friends, ex-lovers, high school classmates, high school crushes, seatmates, schoolmates, crush ng bayan sang tyempo namon, or mga friends nga wala na kami balita for almost a century.

and.

we always marvel why despite the technology nowadays...the superhyperspeedoflight internet connection and ultramegamultitasking mobilephones with cameras bigger than the keypads, to name a few, the lost friends remain lost. therefore, tsansa na namon manglibak sa ila e no?

so in order to keep track of the lost friends, i keep myself updated by their whereabouts through

Google.

today i googled LC. LC Lourdes Faith Saul.  (YES, YOU!)

Middlename Sagudo. 

Age: 28. 

Birthday...err,  i'm not really good at birthdays. 

last time i heard: she's in India. 

And these are the results that i got:

Last week, i google JOSE NILO PRIETO (YES, YOU, TOO!)

whose Middlename I've forgotten. 

Age: 28. 

Nickname: Mokie. i don't know why. don't ask me.

Birthday...he's a LEO, yes. 

last time i heard: he's working at a call center in Makati. and banging some girlfriend. NYAHAHAHAHA

And these are the results that i got:

second hit: well, there's no second hit.

but i'm pretty the jose nilo guy in that loyalty card is him. it is him. it should be him. he's the only jose nilo who was borne to be an arcade maniac then a pc game maniac and remain a pc game maniac until the day he dies. 

We again had the chance to talk behind his back last night with one of his high school friends, Justin, and we recalled him telling somebody (my husband or justin? because surely it wasn;t me) about this NBI clearance story of his, which goes like this: 

Mokie submits all necessary documents for employment to this HR guy but the NBI clearance. This HR guy now asks him where the hell his NBI clearance is. He then tells HR guy that he has a problem with his NBI clerance. That he has a namesake. And his namesake used to be a supermegaheadgeneral of the NPA. His namesake is his father. the HR guy then says: okay, okay, okay, we're done. no need for an NBI clearance.

and he's hired. 

Last night also, during that drinking time...okay, okay. so i have been telling Justin and my husband that i google friends' name to stalk. so husband also told me that yesterday he googled Russell Miole's name (YES, IT IS YOU, if you are reading this!!!). and because google is so smart, google gave husband another option and this is it:

Did you mean: russell moyle  

we almost fell on the floor laughing. 

so i wanted to find out if it's true. so today, i also googled Russell Miole's (YES, IT IS really YOU, if you are really reading this!!! where the F***k are you??)

and i got these hits:

Did you mean: russell moyle  (SO IT IS TRUE)

so his middle name is Nisnisan...

and we're high school mates only so i'm not relaly obliged to know his birthday.

nickname is UZOK but tells us profusely every time to stop calling him that because well, he's a professional, as evident in the above PRC information. PRC, to mean professional regulations commissions. 

last time we heard: he is in Singapore and was supposed to be home December of 2007. 

we were able to talk him into treating us for dinner that time though. because uzok is so gullible. 

and the best of it all... tadadadadada

I GOOGLED MYSELF...because i am full of ego ego ego and more ego

and again, before google could show me the hits, he again gave this smart aleck answer:

there. 

how to eat grapes

among gogol's favorite fruits is the grapes. he once had diarrhea for eating too much grapes in one sitting. when his mother and gogol went to the jologs grocery store (lalalalalaa) sm jaro, late (or at least in the case of Jaro) on a thursday night, 54 minutes till closing time, they chanced upon his grandfather doing the last minute "pasalubong" buying for his guests who're coming to Iloilo the next day. Gogol's grandfather was so pleased to see him in the jologs store (because seldom does gogol ever ever ever go to the mall or the jologs grocery store for that matter because his parents are crazy and do not want to bring him to any of those urban eyesores -- but yes, his mother said they love the convenience of the jologs grocery store, and gogol's father love to pay utility bills there) that he bought him a kilo of big red grapes. 

SO.

Gogol will now teach you how to eat the lovely grapes.
and love to love eating it.

Step 1.

Allow your mother to tempt you with it. how hedonistic can it get? Smile with glee when you see it.

Step 2. 

Once you got hold of it, choose the best globe. the shiny firm ones.

Step 3. 

pull the best globe from the bunch VERY VERY carefully.

Step 4. 

press it to test the firmness once more. Gogol can't really believe he's now gonna eat grapes. 

Step 5. 

Take a bite. Really well. and indulge in it.

step 6. 

Chew very well. don't try to multitask like gogol. like scratch your head while eating because that's really bad table manners. what's more, you might end up looking like...

 (SEE BELOW)

(nadunlan look ni gogol. Bale ginlamon nya ang bilog nga grapes.)

therefore when you eat focus on eating and enjoy ever bit of it.

step 7. 

Don't be content on eating only 1, 2, 3, or 10 pieces of grapes. Go and eat some more. 

Eat it in any way you like it.

Step 8. 

show/tell the grapes how much you like it.

Sometimes gogol get so crazy over the grapes that he tries to talk it. 

at this picture, gogol is asking the grapes how it feels whenever it is bitten, nibbled and chewed by gogol's jagged teeth; or if it feels good knowing that gogol likes it very much.

as expected, the grapes does not answer back.

step 9.

be happy. be very happy.

THE END.

here is the new IM stuff i have been tinkering with for the past week.

it's convenient and easy to manage except that it takes awhile to log-in sometimes (a minute at most, and more if it automatically installs updates) but nonetheless very good.

Yeah.

come around.

by rhett miller

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where
And when and how and why'd you have to go so far

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around, so come around

I'm dressed all in white and I remember the night
You came on to me and opened up my heart
I was hollow then till you filled me in, now I'm empty again
I should have never let it start

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around, so come around

No one else can fix me although sometimes my heart tricks me
Into thinking someone else will do
But you're the only one you are the only one

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
So come around, so come around

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
