Steve Jobs Final Words

"Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow." These are Steve Jobs' finals words, shared by his sister Mona Simpson in the memorial service of the late CEO of Apple. 

Simpson describes final Job's final days and moments in a Palo Alto hospital, which was  spent surrounded by family as his breathing gradually became shorter.

His breath, she said, “indicated an arduous journey, some steep path, altitude.”

Delivered at the October 16 service for Jobs at Stanford Memorial Church, Simpson, an accomplished novelist, began by describing her initial meeting of her brother for the first time when she was in her mid-20s. Simpson was born in 1957, two years after Jobs, who was given up for adoption as an infant.

“Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother,” Simpson said.

Simpson went on to describe her strong relationship with the man now know for the revolutionizing computer world, while explaining Jobs’ work ethic and capacity for love — particularly for his wife Laurene and as a doting father to their three children.

“Steve was like a girl in the amount of time he spent talking about love. Love was his supreme virtue, his god of gods. He tracked and worried about the romantic lives of the people working with him,” she said.

In describing his illness from pancreatic cancer, which Jobs was diagnosed with in October 2003, Simpson paints a picture of Jobs as an enduring, “intensely emotional man.”

She concluded her eulogy by sharing Jobs’ final moments, which were spent staring lovingly at his family, and his final three monosyllabic words as he stared into the distance past their shoulders: OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.

Simpson is currently a professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles and was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award. She has written five novels, and won the Whiting Prize for her debut, “Anywhere But Here.”

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited: The Big Fiesta

Pinoy Big Brother Season 4 or Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited finally started after more than a year. The 13 official housemates were revealed last Saturday, October 29, 2011.

One of the 30 reserved housemates was also given a chance to enter the house through a lottery. He is Carlo Romero, a retail sales consultant from Chicago. For him to be an official housemate, he will play as a "Mole" and he needs to accomplish the tasks that Big Brother will give him, otherwise, he will need to say goodbye and leave the house by the end of the week.

The new PBB house is actually different this time compared to the previous seasons. The house looks like a slum area, as Big Brother wants the housemates to feel the plight and experience the life of  most Filipinos who don't live a comfortable life. This would be a very challenging and exciting season and we're sure to expect unlimited surprises.

First challenge: Will they choose unlimited water, unlimited food or unlimited clothes? We'll find out tomorrow.

7 years of Friendship

This is the video I created last year, as a tribute to the 7 years of our Best Friendship. We're now on 8 years. Unfortunately, 3 months ago, the box where I put all those things were invaded by paper lice and ate those letters. That's one of the saddest day of my life. Good thing, I took a picture of everything inside that box.

Happy Birthday Bez..

October 25, 2011

Today is the birthday of my best friend.. I'm about to greet her at exactly 12 AM but unfortunately I fell asleep and I woke up around 2:30 AM. After I sent her my greeting, she called me. It's been a while since the last time I heard her voice. It's so nostalgic. I miss my high school days, the nights when we always call each other. It's like our day will never be complete without that phone call that will last for hours. My heart started beating fast again. She always make me feel this way. Well, I thought I moved on. She'll always be here, I know that.. It's just hard to let go of this feeling. If only I have the courage and strength to make a stand. Putting all the considerations aside,  the chances are really slim. I hope, one day..

I wish her all the best in life, good health, and she'll always be safe. I hope that there'll be  a day that I will be able to greet her personally. It's been 8 years since the time I did. I miss you so much Bez..
