Woke up early today to do a walk through of our first step toward an adventure trip from NorCal to SoCal. I wanted to familiarize myself with where to go and what to expect before I drag (yes, drag) my wife into this. So, as early as 6 we were already on the phone and I was already observing how it's going to be when we finally do it by next week. Sabi nga ni Misis, "O umikot ka na diyan at huling pagkakataon mo nang mamasyal sa San Francisco."

I had my one last look at the Port of San Francisco at 6:35 in the morning and a glimpse of The Embarcadero, Bay Bridge and the Wharf.


After the ocular visit, I told my wife that I wanted to eat by the Fisherman's Wharf. Took the liberty of walking (I hardly ride a bus these days, I seldom use my bike too) towards the Wharf. But when I got there I had the sudden urge to visit Swan Oyster Depot at Polk St. I went there a couple of times before but I didn't take the same route. So, today I tried to take another route. I was getting a little bit lost and needed GPS on my phone but I don't have that feature. All I have is Google Maps and MapQuest. But the thing is, I can't use the application and at the same time talk on the phone (yeah, yeah.. I know AT&T can do that and T-Mobile can't but I'm not switching to the other network). What I did then was call my wife and asked her to google the directions and then just guide me as I walk and we talk on the phone. Pretty cool huh? My very own personal navigator.

Misis: Kaya mo ako tinawagan para mag-google ng pupuntahan mo? T: Ah, oo naman. Kasi di ko makikita sa mapa 'yung directions habang kausap kita eh. Misis: Sus! Magkano? T: Isang hump? Misis: Ayoko niyan, nakukuha ko naman ng libre 'yan no. T: Ngek!

My wife was very patient, yihiiiiii! After around an hour of walking, I was able to get to my destination. Sabi ni Misis, "Harinawang, worth it ang paglalakad mong 'yan diyan sa gusto mong kainin! Here's what I ate:


Sarap!

Aging + Back rub = Orgasm

I was talking to Misis Tikboy the other day when this equation suddenly flashed into my mind - aging + back rub = orgasm. I was serious but my wife was laughing. She said, "Kung anu-ano naiisip mo!" Well, I work in an elderly care facility and this is what I do almost every morning - giving back rubs when I give my residents a bath. Paano ko ba kasi naisip 'to? Hmmm.. si Lolo D kasi sa tuwing paliliguan ko sa umaga at hinahagod ko ng bimpong may sabon ang likod niya hanep kung makaungol! Heto sampol ng mga sinasabi niya:

"Ooooohhhh... that is so good. Do it again down there."
"That is soooooo nice. Do it again."
"Aaaaaahhhh... that feels good. Go all the way down. Yes. Yes. That's it."

O, di ba naman? Kung ikaw ang makakarinig niyan baka isipin mo kung ano ang ginagawa naming dalawa di ba? Naisip ko tuloy, kapag tumatanda kaya ang tao hindi na nagtatalik? O nakakahanap sila ng ibang paraan para makaraos? Isang paraan na kaya 'yun back rub? Wala lang, naisip ko lang ba.

HDTV + Wii Console + Neflix Instant Streaming = Movies

I just finished watching 2 movies via Netflix - 2012 and Angels and Demons. I've always wanted to watch these movies but I couldn't get a copy of the DVD at Red Tube.. wait, did I get that right? Ooooopppsss... it's Red Box. :D Also, I do not have a DVD player, so I was trying to think of ways on using my HDTV aside from making it function as LCD monitor for my Animal Crossing: City Folk game. When I saw this commercial on TV



I got intrigued by it and googled it. After browsing through their website I found out that they do have a 1 month free trial period. So, I signed up for it. There are 3 ways in which you could enjoy watching a movie:
1. using the instant streaming disc which will allow you to watch a movie on your TV via Wii, PS3;
2. Watching instantly on your computer or TV; and
3. Wait for the DVD to be shipped for free to your home.

So far I've only tried #2. I called them a while ago and they told me that the disc will arrive by Friday. I'm excited to try it because I'd really love to maximize my TV. Tried to set up a splitter so that I can have Comcast in it. It works, but it's just like a clone. Whatever program is showing on TV 1 will be played on my HDTV. So, that's not really good since I have a roomie who watches only TFC which I don't really like.

Hmmm.. after I signed up and installed the viewing software in my netbook I browsed the list of movies and immediately saw a few that I've been wanting to watch such as: The Proposal, The Blind Side, Shutter Island, 2012, Angels and Demons and The Notebook, to name a few. When I saw The Proposal I immediately made a mental note that I will watch it with Misis Tikboy as soon as she gets home. So, I chose 2012 as my first trial movie. How did it go? On the technical side it was very good. The streaming speed was fast, the picture was clear and the audio was also great coupled with the fact that I used my RF-MAB2 bluetooth stereo headset as speakers. It as amazing! The movie wasn't so bad at all. I've seen a couple of Apocalypse movies such as Deep Impact and Armageddon eons ago. 2012 differs because it uses the concept of building an ark similar to Noah's Ark only now it's techie. I'll get into movie reviews as soon as I settle into the technical side of things. For now I just wanted to try it out and see if it's worth having for $8.99 a month.

Next movie: Avatar: The Last Airbender 3.

I Almost Got Bitten By A Scorpion!!!

"I almost got bitten by a scorpion!" - text ko agad kay Tikboy
"Aha! Patingin naman ng town mo!" - text pabalik ni Tikboy

Huh? Town???? Animal Crossing.

"Shunga! Sa tutoong buhay."

Biglang nagkamalay ang loka... na-realize... biglang nagising.

"Ay teka, scorpion sa bahay??? Pano nagkaroon ng scorpion sa bahay?????!"

Yun lang at barrage na ng text messages ang sumunod... Sa tinagal tagal ko dito sa AZ ngayon lang ako nakakita ng scorpion. I've heard about it... I've seen pictures... most of all I know how potent their venom is.

Buti na lang mabilis bilis pa reflexes ko..

Ito talagang Tikboy ko, animal crossing agad ang naisip. Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o mabu-buset eh.

I'll Shumai love for you

I was craving for dimsum yesterday to the point na tino-toxic ko ang pobreng si Tikboy ko... Ewan ko ba... it just came out of the blue that I want to eat Shumai real bad.... Siguro naaalala ko yung mga time na pumupunta kami ng kapatid ko sa SM just to eat shumai.

So after my meeting. I went straight to Phoenix Seafood Palace.... Yummmmm! I even bought black tea to complete the meal :) *Burp*

Punong Halili

Bakasyon na naman si bosing. Ito ang panahon na inaayawan ko. Toxic kasi. Kung ang ibang tao tuwang-tuwa kapag nawawala sa sirkulasyon ang mga amo nila, ako iritableng-iritable. Sa loob ng isang taon, mga 3 hanggang limang beses nangyayari ang ganitong pagkakataon. At sa mga panahong 'yun imbes na nakakulong ako sa kwarto kapag off ko mapipilitan akong lumabas at magliwaliw. Ayokong ma-badtrip. Ayokong mapasahan ng trabahong hindi naman akin. Kaso naman, kapag naka-duty ako at iniwanan na ang cellphone ng bosing sa akin wala na akong magawa kundi magbuntong-hininga. Sinasabi ko na lang sa sarili ko "Duty ka. Sige, hayaan mo na. Basta wag lang maistorbo kapag off mo na."

Kagabi pinasa na naman sa akin ang responsibilidad ng pagsagot at pag-intindi sa mahiwagang telepono. Nagkataong may tumawag, importante. Crucial. Kaya ko sanang desisyunan pero hindi naman iniwan sa akin ang awtoridad na gawin 'yun. Kaya ang ginawa ko ipinasa ko sa punong haliling walang silbi kundi dumakdak ng dumakdak na mistulang sirang plaka. Ni-relay mo na ang mensahe hindi pa rin makuha. Pag nagkalintikan, ikaw ang maiipit. Bakit ba kasi hindi na lang siya ang maghawak ng telepono? Siya rin naman ang magdedesisyon at hindi ako?

Haaaay naku. Tiis lang. Makisama ka lang. Mahirap masabihang ma-epal ka. Di pa kasi gawing legal na maging administrador ka eh. Para wala nang pasahan ng trabaho.

Buset.

Sirang Plaka

Lately it's been very stressful at work. Sometimes I feel I want to just scream and tell them to back off. It's not the patients and my staff. I adore my patients. I yearn to be a part of their journey towards remission. I love my staff. I think they're great... walang etching. I believe that they give their 101% when they are at work. Ang nakakairita eh yung mga hindi nagtra-trabaho sa bedside. Ang galing mag dikta. Ano ka si Marcos? Sabi ko nga daig pa nila ang Philippine eagle. Sobra mag hover. * Hello, you're invading my personal space... *

Minsan naiisip ko mag step down at maging simpleng mamamayan na lang kaso nga hindi na puwede kasi. Kawawa naman staff ko. Ok lang sana yung stress. Gets ko yun eh. Kasama sa trabaho pero naman may pagka over na. Gusto mo ng magsalita ng "shut up ka nga muna".

A person can only take so much. Nakakarindi na ang paulit ulit.... paulit ulit. Araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos, yun na lang palagi.

Maybe they're forgetting that we are all adults here.

Utang na loob. Shut up ka nga muna.
