Creative Regeneration


After 10 years (well not really, just an expression) I've finally logged in back to my blog and updated it with this entry. I've already been home for a week now but for that one whole week I felt really lazy and I didn't want to do anything but just sit back and relax and watch TV (which I never do when I was busy blogging) or something.

But again after having some thoughts on my 1 week (or more) absence from the blogosphere maybe it was a productive thing to do. Let's just call my absence for one week as creative regeneration. The more rest I got, the more ideas I get back for blogging.

Or... you could just call me plain Mr. Lazy hahaha!

I plan to take advantage of Blogger's future-dated posts feature because once again I'm going to travel and this time I'm already moving to Canada. I'm once again bringing my lappy along but as by experience, never expect for a free Wi-Fi connection.

Plus with my future-dated posts I can be assured that my blog will be updated even if I don't log-on. Ha! Call that emergency blogging hehehe.

The Perfect Gift for Dad

Father's Day is fast approaching so one is quite pressured to think of a great Father's Day gift for his/her dad. Our dads have been our strong pillar who was always there to support us and make us feel safe and strong that is why it is just right that we show our gratitude and love with something very extraordinary that he would like.

So what do fathers like? Well we all know that they love to sit and relax every Sunday, sipping their beer while watching their favorite game on the television. So why not make his relaxation time more enjoyable by getting him a huge HDTV with the best HD service (of course provided by Charter Communications)! I say get and not buy because you only need to enter in the contest, Father's Day in HD and you could win that giant HDTV! Just send a brief essay saying why your dad deserves a giant 65” LCD HDTV Flat Panel with the best Charter HD service and The Charter Bundle™ FREE for a year!

Wow! Any dad would really be extremely happy with a gift like that! And to think that joining is so easy! You just have to make sure that your dad lives in an area that is serviceable by Charter Communications and one is of legal age residing in the US.

So what are you waiting for? There are no entry fees and the contest ends at June 6, 2008 so write that essay and submit your entry for that awesome Father's Day in HD!

In a Bag

After packing all my bags I suddenly felt a chill down my spine. I can't help but ask, "Is this it? Is this all that belong to me?"

I suddenly realize that my material possessions really didn't matter at all. Because if ever I was gone and my possessions also disappeared then there was nothing that could ever prove that I ever existed (well there are my records at school and at the government registrars and this blog).

My possessions could all disappear (in fires, thefts, and other natural disasters) and then what would happen to me? What would happen to my life?

I felt uneasy as I felt that all that was me was crammed into just one large bag... it really is weird.

I then became afraid of what might come. Am I ready? Are we ready to live a new life in a distant and foreign land? But I do have my family to rely on so I guess that everything will be ok.

Car Rentals

I just recently went on a vacation with my family so naturally we don't have our car with us and I tell you... traveling without a car is frustrating and scary! In our vacation it was very hard to catch a taxi and if you did manage to get a taxi they will try to charge you at very high rates especially if you're going to far away places.

So if you're traveling it's best to rent a car! And if you're going to rent a car it would be best if you go with Advantage for your rental needs! Imagine, they offer the best rates for brand new vehicles like SUV's, cars, vans, trucks, and more with several brands and types of vehicles to choose from starting from a very low price of $19.99!

With Advantage you are sure that your car rental is always less than what you expect and you don't only get comfort and ease-of-mind you also get something else... luxury as Advantage has great cars to choose from!

People Who Curse and Say Bad Words

I really hate people who says bad words and curse! I hate it when I hear them cursing by themselves because it just makes the air so negative and I don't like it and I get in a bad mood.

I wonder why some people love having a foul mouth. Maybe they think that it's so cool and that they are so amazing if they had a wide vocabulary when it deals with ill and bad words.

Here are other terms for bad words: A curse word. A swear word. A malediction, malison, imprecation, denunciation, execration, anathema, proscription, commination, expletive, disparagement, vilification, or vituperation. Bad language, strong language, foul language, colorful language, blue language, unparliamentary language, profane language, or harsh language.

As Dr. Kate said:
"Swearing in public upsets many people. It is really verbal harassment if other people can hear it.

It is good manners to remember where you are and think about other people's rights and feelings. Everyone has the right to feel safe and having to hear loud nasty words can make people feel unsafe. If people are annoying you by using bad language move away from them and don't use it yourself."
If you grew up swearing all the time then you should really stop it because it is very offensive and rude. If you can't help it and have to say something then make it creative like saying Holy Cow instead of Holy Sh*t or "Bark" it instead of the F word.

And if anyone uses these foul words at you remember that there are more words in the vocabulary than the known foul words. Example:

Foul Mouth: Hey you [censored]! What are you doing here [censored]? [censored] off!
You: Excuse me is it me or do I smell a foul wind slightly blowing?
Foul Mouth: Why don't you [censored] me instead you [censored].
You: Oh please my dear fellow, you are nothing but a minute particle slowly drifting to a dark lonely abyss... I pity you.
Foul Mouth: Oh come on you [censored]. You think that I [censored] care about what the [censored] you're talking about?!

<<<>>>

Foul Mouth: Hey you [censored]! What are you doing here [censored]? [censored] off!
You: (not minding that pitiful creature)
