Paul the Psychic Octopus is no longer with us.

Yes, you read it right. Paul, the Psychic Octopus is no longer with us. And I'm neither a fan of Paul, nor a fan of World Cup. I don't remember how I learned about Paul, the Psychic Octopus.

Here are 2/two some information about his death.

From the WordPress blog Stu Scott's Lazy Eye:

In case you haven’t heard, the mollusk oracle of worldwide fame, Paul the Octopus, is dead. Paul became famous this summer for his perfect (8/8) record of predicting World Cup matches; we reported (is that the right word for what we do? maybe “rambled” is better) on his prediction for the final in July.

From Newsy.com, "Paul the Octopus Meets a Watery End":

The famed psychic octopus Paul died at his home in Germany this week. He leaves a legacy of predicting all of Germany's games in the 2010 World Cup.

2010 Barangay and SK Elections



I forgot bring my voter's ID for yesterday's 2010 Barangay and SK Elections. I filled in all the blanks in the small voting paper.

I did that because I have a feeling that my voting paper, might filled in by the "flying voters" and by "bad elements". I exercise my right to vote.

I forgot the meaning of the letters S in SK.

Jodi Picoult’s Nineteen Minutes


I admit that decided to stop reading Jodi Picoult’s Nineteen Minutes. I don’t know have the enough courage to read. Aside from that, the story has a lot of characters.

One (1) reason why I decided to buy and read it, because I was intrigued by theme of school shooting. It reminds me of the real life school shooting in America. The most known shooting America I know is the Virginia Tech massacre.

I have nothing against families of the victims, the victims themselves, the suspects, and others.

And about the book cover. I strictly do not own the book cover. For informational use only.

Helpful items you may overlook during a brownout.

Christmas last year, an ILLC student gave me a hand-crank flashlight as a Christmas gift. I didn’t expect that he will give me a Christmas gift a hand-crank flashlight.

I asked myself: “What’s this? What is the purpose of this thing?” I don’t know what it is, and I don’t the purpose of this thing, until I figured it out.

It was a flashlight and I don’t know the name of the aforementioned flashlight, until I visited the website of Fit to Post Philippines. The name of the flashlights is hand-crank flashlight.

And click the entire sentence about, helpful items you may overlook during a brownout.

Video of Jodi Picoult’s House Rules.

Although I’m not a fan of Jodi Picoult, I bought her novel House Rules. I bought the book in Powerbooks in Building B of SM Megamall, (originally from Building A) in Mandaluyong City.

The book costs 335 pesos, due to that Powerbooks has of 10% off, It costs 301.50 pesos, with the help of my Powercard, I told the clerk to pay th2]e 1.50 pesos from my Powercard, I paid only 300 peso cash.

I bought the book because that one of the characters has Asperger syndrome. Another reason is that my nephew has autism.

Here the links for the videos of Jodi Picoult’s House Rules.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’

I bought the book from Powerbooks, Shangri-La Plaza / Mall in Mandaluyong City. The short story is costs 399 pesos. The short story was released to the public in 1921. And it published in May 27, 1922.

Yes, you read it right . It is a short story. I want to read the short story first (1st), before I’m going to watch the David Fincher-directed film.

And I read it just last night. And now that I already read the short story last night, I'm going to watch the movie adaptation.

Sorority Row


Last Sunday evening, my first/1st impression of the movie Sorority Row is a horror movie/film. Although some people consider it is as a slasher film/movie.

I admit it is not scary at all. I noticed that there are scenes removed from the movie. I also noticed that there is a goof. Girl # 1 uses her cell phone using her left hand, but on the cell phones of the other girls, the scene is different. Girl # 1 uses her cell phone using her right hand.

I give the movie 1 out of 5 stars.

Their other video and song ‘Decode’, which I don’t like.

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown


Binasa ako ang latest novel ni Dan Brown na ‘The Lost Symbol’ nitong nakaraang dalawang (2) araw. Hindi maalala kung kailan ko first (1st) time nabasa ang nabanggit na novel.

Binasa ko ang novel in hardcover edition. Binigay sa akin ng aking nakakatandang kapatid na lalaki nitong nagdaang Pasko* bilang isang Christmas gift*. And also, ito ay first (1st) hardcover novel na nabasa ko, after J. K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows’.

Ang hardcover novel ay kilala, dito sa Pilipinas, bilang hardback novel.

Naguluhan ako sa mga philosophies na nilagay ni Dan Brown sa kanayang latest novel. Si Dan Brown ay isang American thriller writer, ay nakilala sa kanyang worldwide bestselling novel na ‘The Da Vinci Code.’

Dear people, I would like to share some opinions, about these people.

Dear people, I would like to share some opinions, about these people.

First, I call this woman Flower.
Flower, binibiro lang kita, tapos sineryoso mo naman yug biro ko. Nung tinanggihan ko, napansin ko na nagalit ka. Kapag binibiro mo ako, sinasabi mo na, joke lang yun. Minsan, yung mga biro mo, walang kasama na joke lang yun.

Second, I call the next woman Fruit.
Alam mo Fruit, hindi nangangahulugan na, hitsura ko, na pang-grade school or pang-high school, na wala akong karapatan sa subject or topic na sex.

Next, I call the third woman Fitwoman.
Alam mo Fruit, hindi nangangahulugan na, hitsura ko, na pang-grade school or pang-high school, na wala akong karapatan sa subject or topic na sex.

Hindi lang yan, alam ko na tinataboy mo rin ako, from the middle of my working months on that company, feeling ko nga, gusto mo akong magtrabaho muna sa Kagawaran ng Pagpapanatili. Buti na lang wala dun si Inhinyero, noong araw na yun.

Tapos, nung nagbakasyon ka, may conspiracy theory ako na wala na company na pinupuntahan ko.

Tapos si Tin Man naman.
Inaasar mo din ko Tin Man. Niloloko mo din ako Tin Man.

Alam mo Tin Man, hindi nangangahulugan na, hitsura ko, na pang-grade school or pang-high school, na wala akong karapatan sa subject or topic na sex.

Tapos si Fitman naman.
Inaasar mo din ko Tin Man. Niloloko mo din ako Tin Man.
Tapos si Villanueva naman.
Oo ikaw Villanueva, kasama sa mga taong nabanggit, Sa isip mo: “Bakit kasama ako sa nag-aasar sa iyo?”

Hindi ka kasama sa nag-aasar sa akin. Nung tinangong ka ni Flower, kung meron kang ipapagawa ka sa akin, tiningan mo ako, at sinabi mo sa kanya na wala ng ipapagawa sa akin. Alam ko na naweweirduhan ka sa akin.

Syempre, kasam si Digestive System.
Oo, kasama ka Disgestive System sa nang-aasar sa akin. Isa sa mga natatandaan ko, nung papunta ako sa chair ni Russian, masam ang tingin mo sa akin.

Fruit and Flower, dun sa sinasabi nyo na hindi ako mayaman, pero magulang ko mayaman. Itong ang sasabihin ko dyan. Makakarma kayo sa pera pagdating sa akin.

Sinusumpa ko, si Lord God na ang bahala sa inyo.
