A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the

ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots

had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always

delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk

from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half

full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer

delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments,

perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was

If you use Netflix and watches a lot of movies, you can turn around those DVD pretty fast but since you are beginning to be liability to Netflix and costing them postage money they devised a way to delay the delivery of your movies.

If your local Netflix shipping center is really close and it only takes 1 days turnaround they will soon send your requested movies from the farthest Netflix shipping center that they have.

Of course they need to make money, well I’m just voicing my opinion too!

Here’s a sample of their email that my requested movie will be delayed….

Shipping update

 Dear Sucker, NEW TITLE was not available at your local shipping center. Instead, we will be shipping this movie from WALA-WALA, Boonies on the next business day. As usual, you will receive a movie shipped email confirming the shipment. -The Netflix Team

Everytime I look at my statement from my bank’s cc I remember the person I spoke to when I asked why my interest rate suddenly got jacked-up so high. They said it was based on my review so I asked for reconsideration. They said no and do what I have to do. Nice…..

What a hot 102 F Sunday!  Good thing I already sprayed some pest control chemicals around my house. Dang spiders & little critters are crawling inside the house through those weep holes.  Fire ants are finding their way in and around the kitchen cuz’ it’s just too much hotter outside.  Summer came in late here in Texas. Had a couple of thunderstorms and close calls from tornados which just missed us by a few counties.

Will be turning on the sprinklers tonight since our town lifted the water restrictions from once-a-week watering schedule to a voluntary twice-a-week watering.  Had to thank that extended rainy season for that.  I’ll search for some pix to post about the overflowing of the L.Lake here at L.E.  Felt sorry for that newly constructed sand beach that I think had been washed away.  More sorry for us cuz’ we paid for it through taxes!

Oh yea..the title after the 40th…Yesterday was the 40th day anniversary of my dad-in-law.  There was a church service at 10am and we came late kasi my grad. party last night.

Business Basics
How Loud Is Too Loud?
Tara Weiss, 07.10.07, 3:00 PM ETWhile working at a weekly newspaper in Wisconsin, Angela Kargus became intimately acquainted with a co-worker’s personal life. Kargus learned about her fertility problems, that her dog urinates all over the carpet and that she does indeed have a regular menstrual cycle.

You’re right to think these are the kind of personal details shared over a cup of coffee or on a friend’s couch. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. Kargus and her co-worker aren’t even friends. But her co-worker is a classic workplace loud talker. She yapped on her cellphone throughout the day with friends and, quite frequently, her mother.

This probably sounds familiar. Office loud talkers are everywhere, and the worst part is, they probably don’t even realize they’ve been labeled as such. To the unknowing, here’s a tip: Proper decorum calls for people to take personal conversations outside the office or into the hallway, especially since so many workplaces are in an open format where only top managers have offices (and doors they can close).

Ipinagbawal na ni Mayor Lim ng Manila ang paglaro ng computer games sa mga internet cafe or computer shops sa paligid ng mga iskwelahan sa mga oras ng klase (school hours) which is from 7am to 6pm.

Siguradong pababantayan ni Mayor Lim ang mga internet cafe na ito para makasiguro na tutupad ang mga ito sa bagong regulasyon.  Syempre maraming nahihinayang na mga shop dahil malaking inihina ng kanilang kita dahil nga nabawasan ang kanilang kliyente.

Sa tingin ko nga naman importante rin itong ginawa na Mayor Lim para sa mga estudyante. Malaking ginhawa naman sa mga magulang dahil mababawasan ang pag-aalala nila na nauubos ang oras ng kanilang mga anak sa computer games.  Tigas na kasi ng mga ulo ng mga kabataan ngayon o mahina na rin siguro ang pagpalo o paninindak ng isang magulang sa anak kaya’t hindi na makuha sa paliwanag.  Ewan ko..basta ang alam ko yung mga junakis ko nandoon sa itaas at nag-lalaro ng World of Warcraft ba yun?

I had a chance to watch this movie after it has been sitting in my dvr for a few weeks.  Sayang nga lang at degraded na ang sound quality pero nag-enjoy pa rin akong panoorin kahit paputol-putol ang aking viewing.  Joseph Estrada & the young Vilma Santos at syempre ang paboritong kontrabidang si Paquito Diaz.  Oks naman.  The story circles around Joseph na nakulong sa munti at dahil sa good behavior na napadala sa Iwahig Penal Colony sa may Palawan.  Syempre pag galing ka sa ob-lo may basag ka na like “batang-munti” or “batang-city jail” so in this case “Batang Iwahig”

Ang masaklap lang dito sa istorya ng movie e yung last part. Pinag-aawayan nila yung pera na pinitik nila. 6 ata silang kawatan, 4 ang patay, dalawa na lang silang magpaparte. Kaso yung pera sa bandang huli ng movie…..

Have been buzy setting up a family website.  Trying to see if phpbb is better than smf but I think for me I would go with smf. It has more features that I got used to.  Don’t want to go with phpbb then later on it will turn out to be very limited.

Have installed the coppermine gallery too.

This is a long overdue post that I was meaning to do since January!

Around the 2nd week of January of this year I received a letter informing me that I’m being considered for inclusion into the 2007/2008 Cambridge Who’s Who Among Executives and Professionals “Honor Edition” of the Registry.

Wow! I said to myself. My exposure and contribution to the industry is finally paying off! …but wait! Who much will this cost me? The letter said it’s free. Huh? Free? in this world? hmmmm… went to search it in the internet and saw a couple of sites referencing this company. 

You be the judge..
