Mr. Angry and Ms. Calm Illusion


This one's weird. Remember the Albert Einstein / Marilyn Monroe Optical illusion. Here's another one. If you watch the above images from your seat in front of the computer, Mr. Angry is on the left, and Mrs. Calm is on the right. Get up from your seat, & move back. They switch places! This illusion was created by Dr. Aude Oliva & Philippe G. Schyns, MIT.  Amazing, huh?

The Greatest Hits Tour Ticket Prices



There you go.. the ticket prices for THE GREATEST HITS TOUR. I think the ticket prices are just fine considering there will be three artists in this event: a1, Blue and Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees. I can remember the 2010 Music Festival with Boyce Avenue, Jabbawockeez and Kris Allen. I really bought a Gold Ticket for that concert. I still don't know if I'll be able to watch this concert. I want to, because of a1. Well, a1 is the first band that I liked and the reason why I'm into music now. This might be the last time that they will visit Philippines. They've been here 3 times already. I was still high school back then. 

Boyce Avenue might have a tour next year. If this will be on February, I think I might just go with BA. I'm kinda sure that they will have a Cebu leg. Well, I still hope that I would get to watch a1 sing live.

For the UnliDay housemates, I'm pretty sure that Reg will be evicted. However, the voting for the Unliday Nominees were officially closed because of a FORCED eviction -- the first this season. We'll find that out later.

Meanwhile, for UnliNight housemates, I think Wendy would be voted out. There are lots of negative feed-backs about her. I think she will share the same fate with her friend Diane. 

Supposedly, Jaz is one of the nominees but she decided to leave the Pinoy Big Brother house. This is the first Voluntary Exit of the season.

I'm not a Quitter, But I Know When to Surrender



Today’s my rest day. I’m supposed to render OT for me to lower down my AHT. 3 more working days before the month ends. Basing on my score, I don’t think I would hit an AHT lower than 15 minutes. I tried to calculate the possibilities yesterday and I would need to get an AHT of 11 mins for those 3 remaining days. I don’t think I can do that unless there’s an outage. Well, I decided, not to push through with the overtime.. because, 1.) there’s no FC around yesterday when I’m about to ask if I can render OT this morning. 2.) I woke up late. 3.) I think I’ll just be wasting my effort.

Though I want to still try and I’m still holding on to the chance that I would get an AHT below 15 minutes.. when reality strikes, it bites. LOL. Let’s just say, I’m keeping it real. Better luck next month and hello PMP. :p

First Clixsense Cashout


Finally, my first Clixsense cashout. $10.00 is the minimum cashout and after 3 years, my patience has been paid off. I know $10.00 is not that much, but by just simply clicking links, I earned it. Clixsense is one of the most trusted Paid-to-Click sites right now. They've been around for quite a while now.

If you want to try and earn cash by just clicking, you can join clixsense by clicking here

Team Jason Bulletin Board


"One man can be a crucial ingredient in a team, but one man cannot make a team."

Here’s our Team Board. We didn’t win the contest though, oh well. Anyway, I was able to use my little talent in drawing and finally I was able to use my Faber-Castell Classic Colour Pencils, Faber-Castell Oil Pastels and Faber-Castell Connector Pens. I drew the chibis, the angry birds and the pigs.

Breaking Dawn Part I Free Screening


I’m not really a Twilight fan but I somehow appreciated the movie. Our company sponsored a free screening of Breaking Dawn on its first day of showing (Nov. 18) in SM City Cebu. Prior to going to the cinema, I managed to watch the 2 preceding movies, New Moon and Eclipse so that I’ll be able to understand what’s going on in the movie. I watched the first movie Twilight in a cinema as well but after watching the movie, I felt that I won’t like the succeeding movies. I guess I’m wrong. Well, it’s not great as Harry Potter but the movie is just fine. I enjoyed watching Breaking Dawn even though some of my teammates and wave mates were not there. I'm actually alone, figuratively. Good thing, I’m with people who know how to enjoy a movie, and so I did. 

I hope the part II will still be sponsored by the company, that is if I’m still employed. :D

A1 in Manila - Confirmed by Mark Read


A1 is really coming back here in Philippines this February 25.. I already missed the Westlife concert and I don’t want to miss this one. 

Time to save money. I don't think this will happen again. This could be the last chance that I'll be able to see them live.

And so I joined Tumblr..

Finally. I now have a Tumblr account. I’m wondering who took the URL sharkfire.tumblr.com because when I tried use it, it’s already taken. Another sharkfire.com on the moves.


Basing on the posts that I’ve seen in facebook, I think I would enjoy using Tumblr.. ;D

Happy Birthday Mark Read


November 7 - It's Mark Daniel Read's 33rd birthday!! Mark Read is one of my favorite singers. One of the reasons why I want to be called Mark. :D

UNDAS


It's November.. and the first day of the month is welcomed by a tradition, we Filipinos called "Undas". I've been thinking, saan nga ba galing ang salitang Undas? All Saints' Day ang pinagdiriwang sa November 1 na kung tatagalugin mo ay Araw ng mga Santo, at kilala rin ang araw na ito sa tawag na Todos Los Santos. Ang November 2 naman ay All Souls' Day na sa tagalog ay Araw ng mga Kaluluwa. Nakaugalian natin na pumunta sa sementeryo sa unang araw ng Nobyembre upang bisitahin ang mga minamahal nating namayapa. Kaya naman ang karamihan ay tinatawag ding Araw ng mga Patay ang November 1.


Saan nga ba talaga galing ang salitang Undas? Dahil nacurious ako bigla, medyo nagsaliksik ako sa etimolohiya ng salitang undas. Marami rin pala ang may gustong malaman kung saan nagmula ang salitang ito.. kung ito ba ay tubong Pilipino, hango ba sa wikang Griyego o kung saan mang bansa galing. Kaso, wala akong makitang concrete answer.

May nakita akong isang nakakatawang paliwanag saan galing ang salitang undas. Kung baliktarin mo daw ang  UNDAS, eto ang lalabas:

SAD NU

Hahaha.. Sabagay, dahil ginugunita natin ang mga namayapang mahal natin sa buhay, medyo sad nga tayo sa araw na yan.. At dahil mahilig mambaliktad ng mga salita ang mga Pilipino, ginawa itong UNDAS para cool daw. Hahaha. Parang naligaw lang eh no, at babaliktarin mo lang ang damit mo para di ka na mawala.

Eto naman ang nakita ko sa Wikipedia.
Ang kapistahan ng Todos los Santos, Araw ng Lahat ng mga Santo o Araw ng mga Santo, tinatawag na All Saints' Day, All Hallows o Hallowmas sa Ingles (ang katagang “hallows” ay “santo” at ang “mass” ay misa), ay ipinagdiriwang tuwing ika-1 ng Nobyembre o unang Linggo ng Pentekostes bilang paggunita sa lahat ng santo o banal, kilala o hindi. Ang araw nito ay tinatawag na Halloween sa Ingles, katumbas ng "Ang Bisperas ng Todos los Santos" o "Gabi ng Pangangaluluwa". Ang Todos los Santos ay isa ring pormulang Kristiyano na humuhingi ng tulong sa lahat ng santo at martir, kilala o hindi. Sa Pilipinas, palansak na tinatawag itong Araw ng mga Patay, Pista ng Patay, o Undas.
Sa Iglesya Katolika Romana, ang Araw ng Todos los Santos ay parangal sa mga taong nakatamo ng beatipikong pananaw ng kalangitan habang ang sumunod na araw, ang Araw ng mga Kaluluwa ay paggunita sa lahat ng yumaong mananampalataya na hindi pa nadadalisay at nakararating sa langit.

Bagama't di ako nagtagumpay kung saan nga galing ang salitang Undas, ang mahalaga'y alam natin ang kahulugan ng araw na ito at bakit ito ay isang importanteng tradisyon sa ating mga Pilipino. Malay natin, balang araw may isang historian ang matyagang mananaliksik ukol dito. Masyado lang talagang malawak ang internet, tinatamad na ko magresearch. Kaya eto muna.. hanggang sa muli.. :D
