- I really should keep my fone attached to my body at all times. I misplaced my cellphone 3 times this week, managing to leave it in the MRT restroom, a colleague's car, and in a coffee shop. Amazing enough, it was always returned to me. That pretty much restored my faith in humanity.
- I hate all those Tagalized versions of foreign hit songs. Ms. Ganda is really raking it in with her versions of Bleeding Love, With you, and whoever sang that often-played Tagalog Insomnia. C'mon people... you seem to be a very creative lot, why not just write your own songs.
- It's not a good idea to run several applications at the same time even though your RAM is 2 gb. Like doing a full script [dialogues and karaoke] using the HD raw video with your notepad open for your QC notes, another script open for comparison of dialogues from the previous episode, and then suddenly deciding to watch an episode of Long Vacation while having a QC break. After several days of doing it, my laptop decided it was too much and decided to take a much needed rest. The screen just froze, so my kneejerk reaction was to restart it. Windows won't load afterwards, no matter if I try rebooting it using the safe mode or the last known good configuration settings. My first thought was, "Oh no!
yenchan69will kill me, fersure." My Koishite Akuma QC was already due and I was already in the last 10 minutes of the video when this happened. I was on a forced subbing hiatus for 4 days... man, it was hell. Talk about a subbing detox. I got the laptop back yesterday. According to the technician, it has around 400 mb of bad sectors. I didn't know what that meant, but I was told not to strain the laptop too much. Oh well... I still think it was that jinxed KA04 script that did it, hahaha.
- Preparing meals for your family, even with fully stocked fridgeand pantry, is hard. My mum went on a spur-of-the-moment Hongkong trip with her friends for 4 days, leaving me in-charge of cooking while she's gone. It would've been easier if she gave me a meal plan, like cook this for dinner and this for breakfast. But all she told me was, "Bahala ka na dyan." [It's all up to you] Oh God!!! It was hell, trying to figure out what to do with all those stuff in the fridge. And the actual cooking... I had to go home straight from work just so I could cook dinner for all of us. And then prepare the stuff for breakfast before I go to sleep. And then do it all over again the next day. I now have a new appreciation for mothers out there. [A corollary of this would be, I learned that it is actually possible for me to come home straight from work, instead of hanging out somewhere first. And doing that saved me a lot of money.]
- I love smap... or rather, I love Kimura Takuya [oh wait... I think I realized that a few weeks back already] I saw their latest cm for Softbank and I must've watched it 5 times in a row before even looking at the other smap members, hahaha.
- Teriyaki Boy's Philly Cheese Steak Roll will make you forget all your problems, at least while eating it.
Here's one of the songs on constant repeat in my player. It's one of my favorite songs from Long Vacation.
Under the Moonlight - Cagnet
