How hard is it to ask people to go and see Wanted?
Very hard apparently.
Yet, I'm counting my blessings. Things turned around quick and I got waaay more out of it than expected. In the end, I should be happy how things turned out that night.
As Chester suggested, the blog should, among other things, serve as an emo outlet.
O.t.:
I'll be flying to Vegas (among other US stops) this coming Sunday already!
Wish me luck friends!

Ten things I know about me (that I'd like people to know.. that's why I'm blogging about it)
For posting my incriminating picture during the Eng'g Recog, I'm writing this blog entry Ji...
(FYI di ko pa na-copy)
Here are the rules:
–Then at the end you tag 10 other bloggers to keep the fun going.
– Each blogger must post these rules first.
– Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
– Bloggers who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
– At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
– Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
1. I love watching TV. Even in the internet era, I stil manage to watch at least 20 hours of TV a week (give or take 5). Recently, I managed to merge net surfing and TV by just downloading the shows I watch. Some of the shows/channels I watch are:
Big Bang Theory, Supernatural, South Park, Simpsons, Greek, Gossip Girl (guilty pleasure), Avatar, Kyle XY, My Name is Earl, Heroes, Prison Break, The Office (US), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Ugly Betty, Chuck
I also watch a lot of CNN, ANC, Fox News (Destiny only haha!).
2. I am vigorously interested in US politics. Even before the Barack-Hillary hoopla, I was intimately following the stuff that goes on there. I always say, I know it doesn't count, but I know it matters. I can easily say I'm a better US political analyst than anyone who's been on TV here doing that. Haha. In fact, I even play a game called President Forever.
3. Speaking of games, I play DoTA a lot.
4. I'm currently an Instructor at the IE/OR Department of UP Diliman. IE/OR stands for Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. I'm on my fifth year of teaching. That's the reason why I wrote "Teachers have the write stuff" on my banner.
5. My first blog is entitled "The Ergonomic Quotient". For lack of a better title, I decided that I incorporate my field of interest (Ergonomics) and the word EQ since I just saw an infant formula commercial.
6. I have five siblings and I'm the youngest. Four studied in UST and two of us went to UP. Two are abroad now. Leslie is married in France while Lenard is (soon to be married) in Japan.
7. I was named after two people. Ronald after Pres. Reagan (whose politics I don't like) who recently got inaugurated when I was born and Aaron after (yep, you guessed it!) Elvis Aron Presley. The added A is for Christian name purposes (Aaron guy in the Bible). Brother Lenard also has an Aaron. Sister Priscilla was named after Elvis' slutty wife (hahaha!).
8. I went to Pisay for high school. It's where geeks are cool but some people are still considered nerds. Apparently, the stipends haven't changed since I was there (AY 1997-1998). I also went to the following schools: D. Tuazon Elementary school (2 years). PIQC (5 years), UPLB (2 years). After learning that I qualified for BS IE in UP Diliman, we (a bunch of my HS friends) gave up out slots in UPD to go to UPLB for a program that never really took off. That is a decision I have never regretted.
9. Taking my cue from Ji, I routinely look up (literally) during conversations. It's not because I'm a snob or anything but I have a hard time controlling my eyes (eyeballs in particular). Whenever I wear my contacts, my eyeballs run all over the place. A doctor before has told me that I have weak control over my eye muscles. In short, I can't control it.
10. I love Chinese food and have learned (from experience) that it's actually a dealbreaker for me, kahit cute/maganda pa siya. Define: Dealbreaker - it's a characteristic which, if found in some girl (or boy, whichever applies to you), would instantly turn you off no matter how attracted you were at the start. I thought my deal breakers were just cigarrette smoking and bad legs, now I have to add "does not eat Chinese food" to the list.
Ayan. I'm done.
Tagging (in alphabetical order chosen randomly):
Akemi, sister-in-law to be
Alekos, best vegitarian friend
Andrei, former student
Charlene Tan, future ex-fellow UP slave
Chico, good friend
Franz, former student and student assistant
Jorge, good friend from IE
Juju, Mafia and DoTA friend
Melai, ex-future colleague and friend from IE Dept
Prech/Mispo, sister

Sucker Friends...
are the truest of friends!!
Two days before April 30, I managed to sell off my SIX (well five lang pala) Iron Man tickets to major suckers I call my dearest friends.
Thanks to Chester, Celsus, Pat & Chicks, and Ruben (in order of confirmed purchase). See you at the movie!
You guys very well know that you can sucker me anytime.

Pisay Homecoming - UPDATES
Hey guys! Last Saturday, I attended a meeting of the Homecoming Jubilarians. I have a few updates that need our immediate attention:
PISAY '83 HOMECOMING MOVIE SCREENING: Iron Man
The movie screening is slated for April 30, 2008 @ SM Megamall Cinema 1. The tickets are priced at P350 pesos. Think of it as an additional contribution on top of the P1,000 since the tickets are obviously overpriced. However, there are a few freebies on that day such as Fit 'N Rite juices and chips (so, no more need for popcorn!) and there'll also be a few other giveaways and (possibly) a raffle. Guys, I was assigned SIX tickets only. I hope you can buy a few from me. Also, for those who will attend, an additional perk is also given. See next item.
FYI: Ticket remittance deadline is APR 23 (W)
SUN Cellular Major Sponsorship - Refer Line subscriptions
However, it's not upfront, it's sort of "de-metro" like a taxi. For the first 100 lines, they will give 20k and up to 100k for 500 lines. We need to contribute what we can here by making referrals. You may send referrals (name and contact number) for subcriptions to me. Only one agent (named Rachel) will handle all Pisay related line subscriptions to get the sponsorship. Sun Cellular has seen improved service over the years and they haven't reneged on any of their promos, unlike some greedy telcos. You may view their available plans here. Interesting plans are Plan 350, 999 and 899 (for lovers :D). They also have a plan you can give to your staff/secretaries that has a cap (350 yata) which reverts to prepaid when exceeded (and does not get cut, unlike some telcos I know of!).
As a perk to those who will attend the Iron Man screening, you may send me names (of referrals) and their name will be on a list of pre-approved subscribers. No more need for papers and documents! They're also working on the part to reduce the lock-in period for the nice Nokia 2630 handsets from 30 to the usual 24 months.
Looking for scriptwriters, segment producers, director for the Homecoming program
This is pretty much straightforward. They want to have, as much as possible, homegrown (read: libre) talent to be working on the show. They might be other forms of compensation like a box of shampoo and maybe free entrance *LoL* but I guess they will revert to looking for pro's when there are no takers.
Contribution of the Jubilarians
As mentioned waaay back after the first meeting, we're required to give a contribution to the jubilarian batch. The agreed amount was P50K. The first tranche of the 50K will be given on the next meeting (half). Apparently, from the last meeting, they agreed to give supposedly last meeting. Wala namang nagdala! *LoL*
I hope the P1k contributions can help here...
The jubilarians have promised that they will return unused money if the solicitations go well (so far, it's a roomful of shampoo, 100 boxes of juice, a ton of chips, and lots of aloe vera cream). Yet, we have committed to that 50k as mentioned before.
Publicity
To Toff and Becca, what's our promotion plan? I'll be given most info in a while (maybe by this week). We might have to try and use free press releases for this. We can have a budget but we have to completely outline what we need and present it to the meeting.
Sports
May 2 is the Pisay golf tee-off with the RP National Team and Coach Bong Lopez. For golf enthusiasts, you may contact me or Batch '83 if you wanna play.
The other sports will happen after the golf because harassed na daw yung '83 team with planning the golf event. Other sports include basketball, volleyball, badminton, bowling and others.
I hope you guys post your comments here or reply via the mailing list.
Regards to all!
