Upset!

I’m going to bed sad…. my wife (di pa lang nya alam) Ana Ivanovic lost her 4th round match today. Pero di bale…. nandito pa naman ako para mahalin sya ….. matalo man o manalo — labs ko pa rin sya!

Exhibit A

Naa-alala nyo pa ba si Aling Tindera na pinilit akong magtanong sa kaniya pagkatapos ay sinabihan akong wag nang magtanong dahil sa nakukulitan na siya? Ha? Ha? Na-aalala nyo pa sa? Sa mga hindi nakaka-alala – let me refresh your memory…

Sa tingin nyo ba ay nagsasabi ako ng tutuo nung ikinwento ko ito? O akala nyo ay gumagawa lamang ako ng kwento para may maikwento ako sa inyo? Hmmm? Which is which? Anyway – para sa mga nagdududa dyan sa tabi-tabi — isa lang ang masasabi ko – A picture is worth a thousand words. Kaya hindi na ako magpapaligoy-ligoy pa… Exhibit A…..

And It All Started with a Big Bang

I had another discovery na nais kong i-share sa inyo aking mga dear reader/s. In one of my previous blogs – nabanggit ko na kailangan ko nang itigil ang kapapanood ng How I Met Your Mother and probably should get a life. Well – I did stopped watching HIMYM. Bukod kasi sa few remaining episodes of Season 4 na kasalukuyan pa lang ipapalabas sa US of A – e napanood ko na lahat. Kaya true to my promise – tinigilan ko na ang panonood nito. Well until matapos na ang Season 4 sa Tate at makahanap ako na paraan para mapanood ito. Did I finally get a life? Hmmm… not really. Ang init lumabas e… tapos biglang uulan. Parang hindi alam ng panahon kung summer ba or rainy season na. Pati ang weather – confused. Katamad tuloy lumabas – not unless naghahanap ka ng sakit ng katawan… as in body pain due to flu. Aside from that — medyo lie low muna ako sa mga crowded places… with swine flu and financial crisis – now more than ever is the best time to become a homebody. Tipid na – iwas pa sa sakit.

Which brings me back to me – not getting a life. Dahil sa homebody pa rin ako – I need to entertain myself. Magastos yata umarkila ng payaso. Dito na pumasok ang aking bagong discovery. Presenting — The Big Bang Theory. It’s a fairly new sitcom which is beginning to attract fans in the U.S. Second season is currently being played in the States now. I was able to get hold of Season 1 and decided to give it a try – have no regrets whatsoever. I love this show. Ok. Fine.. Para makarelate din kayo. Brief info on this show (courtesy of Wikipedia):

It concerns two male Caltech prodigies in their twenties, one an experimental physicist (Leonard) and the other a theoretical physicist (Sheldon), who live across the hall from an attractive blonde waitress with show-biz aspirations (Penny).

Leonard and Sheldon’s geekiness and intellect are contrasted with Penny’s social skills and common sense for comedic effect. Two equally geeky friends of theirs, Howard and Rajesh, are also main characters. The show is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre

Johnny Galecki as Leonard Leakey Hofstadter, Ph.D.
Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper, Ph.D.
Kaley Cuoco as Penny
Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz, M.Eng.
Kunal Nayyar as Rajesh Koothrappali, Ph.D.
Sara Gilbert as Leslie Winkle, Ph.D. (recurring since season 1)

Actually – kadalasan ay medyo hindi ko rin naiintindihan ang mga pinagsasabi nila. Hindi naman kasi ako physicist e – theoretical man or experimental. Pero the way they deliver the lines – specially Sheldon – pure genius (pun intended). It’s not your typical mainstream 30 min US sitcom. Kaya siguro hindi pa pinapalabas dito sa Land of Integrated Resort. Lam nyo naman ang sense of humor ng mga tao dito – non-existent. For sure ay lalangawin lang. Pasalamat talaga sa internet – we get to see good shows. I wouldn’t expect most people to like this show —- more on daldalan kasi. One of the main strength of this show are the dialogues. Kailangan pakikinggan mo mabuti yung sinasabi nila. The writing is a work in progress — they are still trying to know who the characters are. The actors are believable — they fit the characters to a T. Sheldon is hilarious but I particularly like Leonard’s character.

It’s a good show and I recommend it to everyone. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to love the show. Promise.

Opps.. muntik ko nang malimutan. The show’s opening theme is really good. “History of Everything” by Barenaked Ladies. To those interested to hear … just follow the link –

Ang Magsasaka

Alam kong matagal-tagal na rin akong walang naisusulat sa blog ko na ito. There’s this part of me who wanted to say that I’m just so busy with work kaya wala akong time para magsulat ng kahit ano. Pero there’s this part of me — who I would normally listen to – who knows that I should say the truth. The truth is — nalululong ako… yup.. addicted… addicted to Farm Town. Pasensiya na dear reader/s. Just trying out kung pwede kong gawing second career ang pagsasaka. Verdict — too early to say… Give me few more weeks.
