Chaos

I'm just sharing a series of video uploads of Jeff Dunham:  Controlled Chaos.  Controlled Chaos is Jeff's fourth special with two new special characters.  I think all of them are sort of ill-tempered, insulting yet funny.  They all hate the Prius.

Jeff Dunham:  Controlled Chaos

Ventriloquist and comic Jeff Dunham takes to the stage to provide fresh comedic material with his classic puppets Walter, Peanut, Jose Jalapeño and Achmed, as well as with two never-before-seen characters with their own unique quirks.

Watch the entire special after the jump while it's still there!

Enchanted

This is one of those seasons that you and your family are probably gearing up for Enchanted Kingdom.  I would like to recollect my experience which happened around a couple of years ago.  If you really are planning a visit to Enchanted Kingdom, please do read Possibly Pinay's Enchanted Kingdom Holiday Survival Guide.

100 Light Years to Enchanted Kingdom

I don't know if this has already changed but a couple of years ago we drove to Sta. Rose from Makati and couldn't find a sign anywhere. Jollibee and other fastfood stores have done better by placing signs almost 20km away from the site but for EK? Nada. We knew the lines would be crawling if you do not go there early so we went to Sta. Rosa early but we end up going in circles asking for directions. Apparently, some of the locals don't know the place either. When we finally saw a sign, "To Enchanted Kingdom" you could actually the site -- and the queues were depressing to look at.

Fruitcake

Forever, Erma: Best-Loved Writing from America's Favorite Humorist

I never like to make generalities about people, but let's face it: People who love fruitcakes are "different."

I have never met a fruitcake baker in my life who didn't want to convert me to all that baked fruit. I can be standing in the baker's kitchen and announce without a trace of humor, "I do not like fruitcake. I have never liked fruitcake. I have sampled more than 10,000 species of fruitcake in my time, and it is my dream that I never have to sample it again," only to have someone put a slice in front of me and say, "Try it. This one is different."

Fruitcakes are not different. They all tend to be the same, each having an assortment of incompatible fruits and the distinction of weighing more than the stove they were cooked in. They defy all the culinary rules in the book. No one ever says, "This fruitcake is so light you don't know you're eating it." That is because the heavier the fruitcake, the better.

Another thing I hate about fruitcake lovers is they smile when their cake is rejected. I don't like people who do that. It's unnatural. I'd be more comfortable if they would just say, "Who asked you to eat this cake? It cost me forty-five bucks to make, and if it were up to me, I'd drop it on your ungrateful foot!" You can have respect for a person like that. But no, fruitcake lovers will stand by and watch you spit out the sample in your hand and say, "But isn't it moist?"

Hyperglycemia

The Dark Side

Hyperglycemia is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. Typical signs and symptoms include polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia, blurred vision, fatigue, weight loss, dry mouth, erectile dysfunction, stupor, cardiac arrhythmia and coma. It is also noted that mortality is higher in people that are not diagnosed with Diabetes than people who are already diabetics and are on going with management.

But temporary hyperglycemia often benign and asymptomatic and is often accompanied by goofiness, chicken dances, insomnia and lip-syncing. It is often caused by excessive consummation of lava cakes, pizza, mango floats, leche flan and the occasional ice cream. I would like to warn to you about the following videos of us siblings (sorry the cousin profiles would have to wait) doing the silliest things we do when we're having this kind of episode and while we're staring right in front of our computers. We consume a lot of sugar and technology at the same time and it's about time we should stop but let me share this one of a kind experience, lest ye fall into the same situation. Kids, don't try this at home.

Sync

Good

I have a bad unique penmanship.  I'm both a slow writer and a fast thinker simultaneously.  Hand could not keep up with Brain most of the time when I'm writing that's why I prefer typing.  Both guys seems to be in the same page when I'm typing.  It makes me wonder what are the activities that my body parts are synced or out of sync.

Drawing

There's no need to explain further.  You can view the result here but well, let me just explain a little more further.  Just a little.  I think Brain and Hand are in constant argument whenever I try to draw.  Brain visualizes something artistic but Hand has his own mind that he diverts Brain's instruction resulting in utter chaos - maniac babies.

Writing

Better

If there's one thing I don't like about being a nurse - it's charting!  Those charts can be a real pain in the hand.  Hand's starting to complain that he's getting cramps, brain wanted to sleep.  Stomach is hungry and Eyes just wanted to join brain in the sleepathon!  I'm never good in catching up notes so that's why back in college I do most of lazy students do (but I'm not lazy, just a slow writer) - photocopy!  I tell you having the notes of someone else's handwriting that is so readable makes me want to procrastinate even more!  Oh well, I can read the notes anytime, her handwriting is so good that I can probably absorb all the information in an hour.  But I procrastinate even more, well, let's give it 15 minutes.  Then I realize it's all too late, I resort to some of you have already done - cheating!

Procrastination

The Procrastinator's Progress

Wow, look at that.  I made it to the "commenter" of the week on nailsbails.  With all honesty if there's one thing I'm really good at, it's procrastinating.  I do not know why I keep doing that and every time I finally have the resolve to quit procrastinating, well, I procrastinate!

But for the longest time I didn't really know what procrastination really means.  For me, hearing it for the first time it was like a big and sophisticated word.  It could mean something nice.  Any word that starts with "pro" usually denotes something nice.  Finally, I realized it was something else when someone used it as a statement in a very negative tone, then I knew it was not good.  But still, picking up the dictionary in the shelf was deferred.

So really, why do we procrastinate?  Why do we love to delay some things?  I mean, we that love to procrastinate.  If you don't procrastinate this post may be ain't for you.  I think it's something like adrenaline rush or something like that.  It's like you delay some urgent task and up to the last minute you do something drastic and still finally manage to do it with style and the crowd goes wild!

I said to myself this morning that I should clean my room but after work I sat down in front of my laptop.  Do the usual and told myself, "Tuesday's going to be the best day to clean my room!"

It's Tuesday, Tuesday
Gotta clean my room on Tuesday
Sweep the floor as I do ballet
It's Tuesday, Tuesday!

Another thing I think we delay things is that we have the ability and the resource to catch up anytime.  With today's resources available you think you can do anything instant!  But, I think it's still wrong but it's quite become a habit.

Anyway, I think I really need to deal with this head on but for now, it's time for me to go to bed.  So, I'll start of tomorrow morning.  Promise!

Awkward

Dental Care

You ever have that awkward moment when someone adds you on Facebook (or any social network) and says, "Hey dude!  Howa been?" and you have no idea who they are?  Well maybe a little idea but enough idea to pull strings of memory gazillion years ago.  I think it would be awkward-er if that happened on person!  I'm sure I'd pull of some ridiculous smile as my eyes go up and down  trying to figure out who in the world you are dude.  It was awkward-less doing on chat though but still the awkward-feel was still in the room.  I need to try to reply something quick or just make an excuse by clicking "unavailable to chat" and post a status I can't receive chat messages - but that would be lying.

Finally I gave a guessing question like, "you're from [insert high school] right?"  I knew I was wrong but I think that's the only way to know who  the dude is in a less awkward manner.  Finally he reveals his identity and  though I only have a vague memory of him but that was enough to blast the awkward feel into smithereens!  He said that I'm becoming forgetful, I say it's because I've been to many places and have known quite a lot of people - I probably lied but I'll stick to my story.  I drink coffee one cup a day in concentrated amount, that can't possibly affect my memory.  And I've read from Nescafé's Facebook Page that drinking coffee could actually help improve memory loss.  So yeah, I'm sticking to my story!  I'm not also good in memorizing people's names when introduced but still, I'm sticking with my story!

And my story was...

What was it again?
