You wanna know what grinds my gears?

I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to people, but there is just one I cannot tolerate.

This is the kind of person who will pull off a John Tucker to a stranger just to get recognition, yes, this one is called the social climber. They will do almost anything in reach of popularity, ironically, they don’t really want to be your friends, they just want you to know that they’re just as awesome as you are, maybe in another level.

The social climber is hard to spot, but will prove juicy to judge and kick when you discover one. Someone who just has to fit in, one who desperately needs your friendship as if it were a key to step up in life. The need to be seen and heard is their primary focus, while trendiness isn’t really a criteria, it goes way beyond that.

“See me in a party with people who matter, look at the drink I’m sipping; adore me.”

Sadly, they do exist in the real world, and we all have to cope with them. They might be a friend, a family member or someone you just met. Society’s slaves ladies and gentlmen, here you have another episode of idiocy, this one promises to be long and unforgiving at the end.

Please only those who matter in your life, never those who take you for granted or you won’t see again –not today, tomorrow or anytime soon.

You all suck, this post rules.

You know what’s awesome? This blog.

What’s even more awesome? This blog still.

So since this blog is more awesome than just awesome, I’m going to change what awesome is. I’m going to offer links to your blogs and sites. Just what do I get out of it? Well, I’m not asking anything in return, I’m a good honest person. I mean, it’s up to you if you want to be cheap, petty, a link beggar or so.. I won’t judge you.

So, wanna get linked? Two ways, either comment or e-mail me.

Remembering something I said once..

Filed under: Everyday — Isamu @ 1:51 am

“I’m imagining what’s inside PLDT’s call centers…. 100 answering machines, and a crack addict doing the calls.”

Hayy, it’s true, it’s true.

I also remember this: “And currently, I’m subscribing to hell.” from a co-subscriber. In fact, I’ll list down some of the greatest moments that happened once upon a forum thread.

We have received your report. However, our service provider (PLDT) is still fixing up their facility. Responses will be slow.
When we call them, siguro mga 2 hours bago ko maka konek sa tech support.
Minsan naka konek ako then suddenly pinagpasa pasahan ako until na nag hang up na yung fone.
The worst part is, as admin, our staff started to send me bunch of complaints about internet connection. Hindi ko lang masabi na…call PLDT!!!!
Let’s arson that company, WHO’S WITH ME!?!?!?!?!
My problems are solved! I scared off the poor custoemer service representative. Hindi ko talaga siya tinigilan hanggang magkaroon ako ng internet connection.
At this point, everyone should be fully informed that calling PLDT to crank about your internet connection is not worth it, they’re like, uh zombies.

PLDT myDSL –Down Service Lagi!
I hope someone sprays cyanide all over your main HQ
I know, I blame PLDT for spreading AIDS on the entire world.
Sigh… my connection will never work.
I HATE PLDT DSL!!!!!!!!! Spent 6 hours last night up to 2AM trying to fix the damn connection. I HAVE A 9AM DEADLINE! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yesterday pldt dsl was down here in my area for 6 hours. damn them! when i tried to call 172, the pldt dsl “tech” person informed me that its was a nationwide problem. damn then again! it was something to do with their dns server. service was back by 2pm but i cant still browse some site. grrrrrrrrrrrrr! what a service.
Everyday it’s a nationwide problem for PLDT DSL.
ARGH!!!! Down AGAIN!!!!!! And no one picks up the support line even after ringing for a whole hour. Not that it would have done anything either. ARGH!!!! I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH PLDT DSL.
well right now, some of us know that the Internet is not the only thing PLDT sucks at…. di ba Chester?
DIE PLDT DIE!
No one listens to me, how about an organized arson of their HQ?
Their office is old and I think the building will fall down real soon.
It could be that they care.. but they don’t know how to fix it..
Well, I have 2Mbit in PLDT, they set new standards for unreliability.
ARGH!!!! It’s still not working!! Customer service doesn’t know anything!
“You’re stupid and I don’t give a flying f*ck about your connection.”
One day, I’m going to KILL all the PLDT people and a clown.
YOU’LL NEVER GO BACK TO DIAL-UP EVER AGAIN.
“Uhh, Sir I think I’m losing you over the phone.. *the guy makes a buzzing sound*”
“sir gumamit muna po kayo ng prepaid card ng ibang isp kung gusto nyo na makapagcheck ng email nyo”. WTF!
LOL! Sometimes, these customer support reps don’t realize that they represent the company. Or more likely, the company doesn’t know about the monkeys running the call center.
speed is nothing if you are disconnected.
And I’m getting the middle finger from PLDT.
THANK YOU GOD FOR PUNISHING THEM.

Hayy talaga.

The daily bean!

Filed under: Sometimes — Isamu @ 2:11 am

I have three main passions in life –technlogy, music and coffee.

This post is about the latter; the joy of caffeine.

A long, long time ago, due to ~~bad parenting~~, I was allowed my first cup of coffe by request. How was it? Well it didn’t exactly feel alien in my taste since I’ve always had this thing for the aroma of coffee, it was okay I guess. This later on developed into daily digests until I was ready for the next level, brewing my own.

I was never really satisfied on how they mixed my poison, I just had to do it by myself. A few days later, through delicate experiments of ingredient allocation, I’ve ran into their flaw..

They cut back on the main juice, the coffee itself, they weren’t adding enough to get the taste out.

So that’s part one, but I’m going to drop the part where I mention that my family thinks they’re drinking coffee, but really it’s just flavored water. Moving along, as I grew older, I’ve pushed myself into stronger shots of exotics, some were for me, and the others were just too out there.

In fact, for most cases I enjoy my cup more when it’s brewed by myself or (special mention) Starbucks. It’s oblivious to me why some people add more milk or sugar to their coffee (Starbucks), I’m going out of line here but.. THAT’S THE TASTE THEY WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE, YOU ARE RUINING THE ART THEY HAVE BREWED. So I just leave the original preparation alone and enjoy it as fit in their standards.

Starbucks, check.

Being redundant as I am and if you haven’t gotten the gist of this post yet, I love coffee. I love it hot, cold but never warm. See, unlike softdrinks or cheap liquor, it’s made with passion, even the coffee farmers of Cuba appreciate their work a lot. Ah, if I’ve never mentioned, it’s a minor life goal of mine to be involved with coffee, a Starbucks barrista maybe?

I end this post by saying that coffee has never been a reason for people to fight, wars to start, diseases to spread, and planes to crash. I guess it’s something with the beans itself, it’s strange power is simple, lighten up one’s day.
