One of Urban Dictionary’s top entries for “alone”

One of Urban Dictionary’s top entries for “alone”:

dailymeh:

What you’re not. Although it may seem like there is nobody there who cares about you, who is like you, or can be a friend to you, there is someone miles and miles away who would like to be there with you if they knew you were calling.

This is a message to all of the lonely and depressed people out there on their computers, reading definitions of words they’re feeling in hopes to find some comfort, if only for a short while. Regardless of whether you’re reading this in five weeks or in five years, and regardless of whether I’m still browsing this site regularly or dead in a car crash, just know that tonight, I was feeling very lonely, crying out for you.

You’re not alone. I’m not alone. We’re not alone.

Aww.

Gundamu Project 3: MG Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth Model:...

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:19:00 +0800

Gundamu Project 3: MG Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth

Model: XM-X1 (F97) Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth
Completion time: 3 months
Tools: Sandpaper, Side Cutter, Tamiya Cement, Gundam 00 Markers, Files, Fine Paintbrush, Plastic Bottle Cap, Blu-Tacks

Lesson Learned: MGs are more fun to build because they have more parts and the articulation holds more than lesser grade models. Also, Top Coat first before decaling, which in my case I put the decals first, resulting to a no-top-coat Crossbone. *sigh*

Gundamu Project 2: NG Gundam Destiny Model: ZGMF-X42S Gundam...

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:45:40 +0800

Gundamu Project 2: NG Gundam Destiny

Model: ZGMF-X42S Gundam Destiny
Completion time: 1.5 months
Tools: Sandpaper, Side Cutter, Tamiya Cement, Gundam 00 Markers, Files, Cutter, Toothpicks, Plastic Bottle Cap, Blu-Tacks
Lesson Learned: Patience and focus is key, because when the laziness kicks in, it WILL look like crap. You also don’t have to paint for a model to look good. And having a nice set of tools is an investment for a hobby like this.

OMC! (Oh my Crap)

I just suck at multi-tasking. Are CCS students supposed to be good at multi-tasking? If that is so, I should just be a jeepney driver. With an MP3 connected to a blaring speaker that shouts “Alabang, Alabang, malapit na umalis!” so that those barkers, who leech on other jeepney drivers because they think they were the ones to call the people riding the jeepney, won’t go near my frigging shiny jeepney. But that’s just me.

After a smorgasborg of events, here I am, posting useless jibberish on my Tumblr. I can still remember the time when Ryan and Kevin introduced me to Tumblr, and I was happily posting away, and reposting some of the good stuff as well.

But going back to the topic at hand, I just suck at multi-tasking. Or rather, managing sites where I have given away a username and a password. Well, it’s not that I have boatloads of them..

- Pinoy Gundam forums -> for my new found hobby
- Wordpress
- Blogspot -> Active blog about programming and how we can still connect to Life itself
- Plurk -> which took my online life unknowingly full of cuteness

Hmm, maybe the reason why I updated this Tumblr is because so that I could include it in my blogroll. SOWWWEEEEE!

For the past month, Globe and I were pretty much over, because of their sucky contractor service. Damn them, really. Nevertheless, I survived, landed on a job in Makati, and finally started my new hobby: Gundam.

~This was my first try, and I made it in 11 hours. Yes, I counted. Haha, still incomparable to what people have been showing off in the Internet, but hey, I’m still proud of it. :D

Boekhandel Selexyz Dominicanen in Maastricht, Netherlands is a bookstore inside a 13th-century Dominican church. The Guardian called this curiosity, designed by Dutch architects Merkx + Girod, “the world’s finest bookshop”.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. If there was a bookstore like that around here, I would never leave.

Knowing Which Screw to Turn

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:54:53 +0800

ryanyam:

A manufacturer had a problem with one of the older machines on their line. It shut down the line and held up production, costing many thousands of dollars in lost production. Since it was older equipment it was hard to find someone knowledgeable in repairing the machine, and nobody on-site knew what the problem could be. They found a technician with knowledge of the machine and hired him to come in and fix it.

When the technician arrived on site he listened to the client’s description of the problem, examined the machine, opened a panel, and turned a single screw. He restarted the machine and it was back to full function. The line was up and running and the manufacturer was happy.

A week later the manufacturer received a bill for services: $1000. They called the technician and demanded an explanation - after all, they reasoned, he had only turned one screw to fix the problem. He agreed to re-bill, this time with itemized charges. The next bill contained two lines.

Turning the screw… $1
Knowing which screw to turn… $999

Hidden Radio. Lift the lid to turn the volume up, push it down to lower it, twist the lid to tune. The LED light in the base becomes brighter or darker with tuning. That’s it. Cleverly minimal. (via kottke.)
