Hong Kong Plans

This coming Tuesday, I shall be off to the land of SARS and Jackie Chan films, Hong Kong, where I shall probably spread my retardery with them Chinamen Hong Kongers Kung Fungese Chinks. But I dunno, I think it’s gonna be hard for me.


Look at them. No sense of lulz whatsoever, these Chinese.

But still, I’ll be gone for six days and I’m expecting to have a blast. And by “blast”, I mean “not getting into another stupid embarassing situation that’ll make my familly finally cut all ties with me and will also probably get me deported. To Nigeria.” Read the rest of this entry »

I’m going to iBlog! Are you?

Oh hai interwubs. Sorry for the lameness of my last two posts. I mean, seriously. They’re super lame. I mean, definitely not as lame as this guy here, but lamezorz still. Honestly, I’ve been staring at the computer screen for a good part of the day, trying real hard to think of ideas to write about. But I really can’t think of anything smart to say, except maybe this:


Attempt at being smart = EPIC FAIL

So maybe I’ve been running out of intelligent things to write. So for a change, I have decided to go and hang out with some intelligent people for a while, instead of the usual perverts and fat people who I spend time with. When I say “intelligent” I mean people who don’t ask for buttsecks with any living creature the first chance they get. But I digress. Read the rest of this entry »

Holy Week and Me

Oh, hey guys, I can’t believe Holy Week is already over. And truth be told, I actually planned to spend some time alone and reflect and be a better person afterwards. No, seriously. Lookee, this is me now:

And I planned to disappear into the mountains alone, find my inner demons and start a protracted battle complete with flashbacks: Read the rest of this entry »

Tied To A Chair

Ever been in a situation where you step into a room, and three ugly midgets dressed in clown suits hit you on the head with a sledgehammer, and when you come to you are tied to a chair with your eyelids duct taped so that you won’t be able to blink, and then the said midgets would force you to watch lewd sadistic gay clown midget sex acts which of course nobody but Bim likes to watch? No? Neither have I. It happened to a… friend.

But please do try to imagine yourself in that situation. What would you feel? If the first word that come to your head would be “boner”, I would suggest that you would immediately isolate yourself from the rest of humanity and check right away with a psychologist. Because boner isn’t the word I was looking for. The apporpriate feeling to be in a situation like that wouuld be “helplessness” (among, of course, other things like “suicide”, “eye bleach”, “insanity”, and “boner-killer”. But I digress.)

Quickly Lose Friends The Ade Way

The Situation: me and my band were in a coffee shop somewhere in Tomas Morato, drinking coffee (duh), annoying the fuck out of the laptop-weilding patrons who look like they’re about to close a deal or something but the fact that we were in a corner playing the guitars and loudly singing off-tune (we were, erm, composing songs. Shut up.) were preventing them from getting any real work done.

Also, we ended up in a Thai restaurant where we overloaded on curry dishes until I felt like throwing up all over the place. Read the rest of this entry »

MRT? More Like M-R-YOU-SUCK-COCK-T!

So yesterday was my first day at work, right? Of course I wanted to go to work early because I don’t want people to think I was a stubborn lazy ass who goes to work only when he feels like it. But I digress.

So I get to the commute part of my soon-to-be daily routine. I go take a jeepney, which takes ten minutes, but it’s normal. Hey, it’s a Monday. I’ve been commuting for years and I always get to elbow pregnat women and frail old ladies for a fair shot at squeezing myself into whatever free space is there in the jeepney.


Sometimes I just run alongside it

So after that jeepney ride, I go now to the MRT, which will magically transport me to a magical place called Ortigas where there is work to be done and money to be earned. I have always experienced horrible crowds there and I even had my bird groped once by some fag so I was prepared for another horrific experience and-


MRT GMA-Kamuning Station at 8am

Wow.

New Job, Nervous Wreck, Strangebrew

On Monday, I’ll be reporting for my first day at my spanking brand new job. I’m rather excited, because after working two years as a Technical Customer Care Representative - okay, call center agent, happy? - I’m actually be going into a job that actually makes me go to work at normal hours, as opposed to me sleeping when everyone else is supposed to be awake and shit.


Fig 1: A fairly accurate depiction of Ade during his call center stint

But spending two years in a job that requires me to do little more than answer calls and tell some American that the reason they don’t have internet is that they fucking left their modems unplugged gives me substantial doubt in my capabilities. Number one, being in a job that requires little of you makes you rusty. And two years being rusty means I’m probably suffering from severe mental athropy. Read the rest of this entry »

[ My ASUS Eee PC ] Should I Switch to eeeXubuntu?

I recently downloaded an ISO of eeeXubuntu and was able to create a Live USB out of this. And running it via Live USB, I’m rather impressed. It’s much snappier than the default Xandros. However, tempted as I am to wipe out my current install and replace it with eeeXubuntu, I noticed these few quirks:

  • Longer bootup time (okay, I’m running a Live USB and it’s unfair, but nothing compares to Xandros’ snappy bootup)
  • An annoyng “Your battery may be broken” message upon startup
  • Wireless reception is weaker - on Xandros, my home network is always at 100%. On eeeXubuntu it varies between 100 to 75%

And in the few months I’ve had my Eee, I’ve done various tweaks to the system that made me very comfortable with the current install. On eeeXubuntu it’ll probably take me some time before I get to tweak the system to a level where it feels right for me. Also, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right? Read More...
