Re: Anatomy of My FarmVille Addiction

They'd hound you and write funny stuff about you.

It could only be described in few words right?

Like... "Jan, we missed you!" Where are the expected replies from you!

na-spoiled kasi kaya yan. . .

But, I don't suggest dropping the farm. And this time you might want to be frank that you enjoyed farming better than. . .opps...

Sila na nga ang mag-gamer, tingnan natin. ahahah!

But again I don't want to go back to that predicament. Just like smoking... once you stop/quit, you could not light even one... not ever...

Oh, how was the smoking habit? totally gone?

By the way, not a farmville. I had my own rap with game addiction in my early years. here is the hint from the song "three days without sleep!"

Now, tell me about game addiction.

Look, who's back in town!
Look, he brought with him his experience.
As a result, here comes this blog entry; the writer's way.
Ah, of course the villa too! (see picture above)

Who started the rumor about "Jan's missing in action?"

I’m finally back from a two-week vacation from my blog. I’m not exactly missing in action, for crying out loud.

I believe you Jan. (ahahah! - balimbing ba?)
No, we just missed you bro.
You're too important to ignore.
See you around and
Addiction or not happy farming at farmville!
Where the implementation of true land reform exists, is it?

Re: A Tale of Three Cracked Ribs and One Little Rascal

Reviewer present po!

I already read this entry long time ago, (intro cleyshe) when the world was still young as it is today.

Note review:

"Meet the little rascal"

The story tells me that "somebody" was pissed. (we all know the reasons, no need to expound.)

Confucius saves the author's day:

"“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”

Then the author decides to let go and thanking Confucius... " So I let go. Thanks, Confucius. " says the author.

"I feel smarter now."

But... " Uh – oh." the author recounted.

"Not quite!" , he said, because along the way, he did something!

He said, " I wrote this post, after all."

Question: Writing the post is similar to digging a grave?

A little Confucius este confusion after all.

One more:

Confucius says, “Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.”

Is this similar to ... "Whatsoever you do, do it with all your heart."

or the religious one...

Whatsoever you do, to the least of your BROTHER/SISTER, you do it for me.

Note: the Me is of course was Jesus Christ.

ahahahah! no I am not evangelizing my brand of religion. Just quoting one of the greatest men who lived in their times and in His name THE BASILICAS were created... followed by billions of people. Right or wrong... I am not the judge. I am just saying.

Re: Read My Lips: Twitter Lists Are Meant to be Exclusionary

darbs — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 07:02:26 -0000

I am not a twitter guy so I don't mind if I am excluded in the list.

If I were a twitter guy, then there was a reason why I have/had the twitter account because I am/was part of the ongoing project that I should be updated regularly.

After the project, they could exclude me... no problem.

When quitting is the only option...

So help you bro...

I exactly remember the "Sa labas ng Mandaluyong". Ah!- la-ala ng lumipas. . . I could even run the scenario in my head right at this moment. The images ... the music I listened and the food I ate.

It was the time when I first know you guys. The time when I saw the horizon opened up. hahahah! MELLOW DRAMATIC si mokong na darbs. sori, Jan mahilig lang magpa-ek-ek. heheheh.

So as what I said, it was the beginning of meeting bloggers/group of bloggers... starts with Roy... then Dr. Z and then Geronimo... (on the process of making some connection with Rob the Philippine media by visiting his blog but never had the chance to leave a message...)

then to Jena...

to Holly...

... and then Elmot.

How's that for a blurred memory!

Re: New Twitter Social Proof: Are You on Everyone’s List Yet?

I am still wondering "to twitter or to twitter, that is the question?" For now, I better off staying with my blogging habit.

Re: Metrics that Trump Alexa Ranking and PageRank

darbs — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:54:37 -0000

Ya, the Alexa thingy. I am a little allergic to it.

This is I think because I am more than happy enough to see Wordpress blogstat and more than happy enough to congratulate those who made to the top.

Congrats to your milestone Jan.

As a defense mechanism coping up the heartache of not making to the top, I should embrace wholeheartedly the most important of all...

This is the yardstick that proves to be more life-changing than Alexa Ranking and Google Page Rank:

* Your Quit Date is: Friday, December 08,, 2006 at 2:00 PM
* Time Smoke-Free: 1047 days, 16 hours, 3 minutes and 26 seconds
* Cigarettes NOT Smoked: 17,810
* Lifetime Saved: 4 months, 16 days, 1 hour
* Money Saved: $3,785.90

Thank you!

Never heard Google Wave until today. Ma-google nga si Google Wave and see how cool it is.

Well, my favorite one. Google wave, my foot! hahahah!

Re: You’re Smoking Wrong!

darbs — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:34:02 -0000

Sa New York ang 1 pack of cigarette will now cost the smokers at least $10.00 dollars per pack. We don't sell loose cigarette here..

If you were a chain smoker lets see 1 pack a day that is $10.00 and in
30 days that amounted $300.00...

In a year... $3, 600

In 5 years... $ 18,000

Note: $10 dollars price of cigarette will increase every six months or 12 months.

Why cigarette is expensive?

To discourage people/children from smoking.

Re: The Sun

Totomel, thanks for visiting my haws.

Hope you can watch the show and blog your reflection/reaction about it.

The last time pala na naka-visit ako sa site mo when it was wordpress and painting ata un sa isang nanay at ung anak na pretty much imprinted sa aking breyn. Actually, na-imagine ko pa ang scenery habang sinusulat ang comment kong ito.

The truth is your entries may similarities sa mga sinusulat ni Dfish. Is it just me. opinion ko lang yan, ha. Ang sa akin lang naman is based sa inyong mga reflective mode of writing.

Wonderful musing indeed!

Tanong sa last paragraph that needs little elaboration.

Just curious, why achieved the "ambition?" Why not achieved the dream?

One more... ung iyong character why he has to be in a place (called home = sun.

Is it not constant sun is the light of the world and it is everywhere on earth as it is in . . . (not sure in heaven baka meron din)

That is why I did not get this part when you said;
"a place he could truly call home where he could ponder leisurely of matters such as the sun."

I wonder what this sun you were referring to ...

O baka may hindi ako na gets sa pag-gamit mo ng "figure of speech."

Thanks!

I am wondering how many of you did a cut and paste of this post into your word processor to see the word count.

Almost did as you suggested but I changed my mind because I have a feeling that I could trust your words that this entry is indeed has "500 words," counts.

Jan, thanks for pointing this out. (lalabas na lalabas talaga ang pagka-journalistic minded mo. un bang walang b.s.)

Sigi na nga.. Congratulations to Dr. Z and to all of my contributing writer friends.

it is really heartbreaking pag ung mga sinusubaybayan mong blog na close. this is one of the reasons why i blog. at minsan copy and paste ung content dahil takot din akong baka one day mawala na rin. sana hindi unethical ung ginagawa kong copy and paste. mag-sosori na lang in advance.

Congratulations to the best post twitters!

hayz, when can I tweet baka maisama sa best post (heheheh)
Just kidding...

Hey, i've noticed the congratulations phenomenon lately.

First here comes Pres. Obama with his 2009 Nobel Prize. - Congratulations number 1.

Second here comes Dr. Z with his new published book - Congratulations number 2.

Then this one...

Most of all, congratulations Jan for being thoughtful!

“You suck!”

I did? ugh... don't worry as long as I know that I suck then I should accept it with open heart surgery. This means self-evaluation - a room for improvement. Why not.

That reminds me of the comment you left in the exodians blog,

There’s a fine line indeed between being passionate about what you write and being obnoxious.

which made me evaluate/think my writing intention on why i have to press the publish button with my eyes closed.

Here is I should end.

At the end of the day, it’s just a blog. Your family should come first. Even your sanity needs to come first.

Guess what.... sa totoo lang many non-bloggers sa totoong buhay (99.9 percent na kasamahan sa trabaho dito) naniniwalang ang pag blah blog is insanity. Ung aming counselor ang tawag niya sa mga gumagamit ng social networking sites are anti-social daw. hahaha!

keep my mouth shut na lang.

And this, too: when I write creative fiction and it reflects objective realities of certain segments of society that weave around the hero or heroine, can say I've documented it very well? Maybe this is what you mean?

Beautiful! You got it right, bro. Thanks!

Good reading illuminates your writing.

I heard this so many times. Is it not writing a gift? If writing is a gift then I have none at all.

What am I reading? I mostly read manuals - the how to kind of books - step by step instruction - this would lead me to the question how on earth could I write intelligently? That is why sometimes scraping (copy and paste) is just so tempting... darn it!
