Post image for I’m selling stuff

So, I called my sister in Bicol.
Nag-order ako nang “ASSISTANCE”! Hahaha! Darating daw sa lunes.
To help me out here. Else, baka matigok akong kakalinis here.
Kung kelangan mo kasi pangkin mo, wala kang makitang kalul-luwa eh.
But I know kung kelan mag-susulputan ang mga yon.
At alam ko na rin linya ko.
Lunes daw darating ang foreign aid
Marami pa [...]

Wala ako wifi dati. Ngayon biglang meron. At libre?!

by reynz on August 28, 2009

Andito ako sa New Orleans International Airport.
Nag-iintay nang flight ko to Memphis and Philadelphia.
Eto nga, bumili ako nang laptop, right?
Cheapangga talaga sya. $350. Andun lang sya sa kanto nang besbay.
Walang gumagalaw. Mga shoppers, nahihiyang lapitan.
Dinekwat ko nga.
Malaman laman ko, walang excel. walang word. walang wifi.
Sobrang pagdurusa talaga.
Kaya sa susunod, magpapakasasa na ako, kesehodang triple ang [...]

Catch 22

by reynz on August 23, 2009

Napag-diskitahan kong bumili nang printer today.
Nagtanong ang Chuva sa phone.
“Anong gagawin mo sa printer?”
“Aba! Malay mo! Baka meron akong mai-print!”
Kaya go ako sa Best Buy.
Me nakita akong cheappangang printer.
As usual, nag-iisa syang Cinderella sa kanto.
Nag-iisang karton. Walang umu-usyuso.
Presyo? Sisenta y kwatru nuventa y nwebe. ($64.99)

Cheap di ba?
Dinekwat ko sya.
Eto.

While driving back to my apartment… pumasok [...]

Sony Vaio gone, humarbat ako nang bago!

by reynz on April 26, 2009

Marksville, Louisiana
Marksville, Louisiana is in the middle of the State of Louisiana, roughly 4 hours of driving. It’s a very small city. What’s interesting mga kunichiwa was that, it brought back memories sa probinsya namen in Sorsogon. The roads that I saw, pati na kamo mga bahay sa gilid. For a while there, akala ko, [...]

I AM…

A misogynist pig who constantly wishes she were a man so she can parade in jockstraps.
An evil bitch who eats children for lunch and idiots for dinner.
An elitist brandwhore who can recite brand labels more efficiently than she can remember the lyrics to the Philippine National Anthem.
A pretentious wannabe whose apathy is [...]

I’m moving this entry up-front because Badette had asked me to. Hehehe!
Filipino Voices

My first Sony experience is with my Sony walkman

November 15, 2008

I still remember the war.
I mean, the VHS and Betamax war.
When you?re a leader in the industry like Sony, a failure is not seen as a failure, rather, an opportunity to be even better. And that?s what Sony did. With a name synonymous to quality, they remained the standard of most companies in the electronics [...]

Jester’s entry is full of lies

September 26, 2008

If in the US Presidential Elections, “It’s the economy, stupid!“, in this “May the best friends win” spectacle, “It’s the issue, stupid!”, not the personality.
I don?t respond to all personal attacks. But this one, I just had to, given the fact that the blogger sent me links, not once, not twice but three times. [...]
