100% Virgin Pulp
Featuring the newest brand of tissue paper from GOOGLE!!! Hahaha!!! Leave it to the Asians to think of the best (and worst) funny brands! This time, it's the Vietnamese.
Bottom Line
Does being an optimist or pessimist really matter? Because at the end of the day, we're all going to be struck by the reality of it all - LIFE IS SHIT.
The 8 Monkeys
Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.
Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable. Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.
One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder.
All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why.
However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.
A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him.
This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he's attacking the new monkey.
One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why.
And that is how most companies' policies get established.
--- Sad as this story may be, it is true for most companies. We've been taught to be proactive and take the initiative but when when we enter the real world, it really is every man for himself. Heck, that's not even the case here. Each "monkey" just blindly does the norm, no questions asked.

Christmas Bargain
You know you're in the Philippines when even Christmas ornaments have OVERRUNS. LOL.
taken during the Noel Christmas Bazaar in World Trade Center, Pasay
Going Up?
Discovered this new contraption in the basement parking of Il Terrazo along Tomas Morato.
How it works:
- you park on the platform/s, then when the 3 slots on the 1st level are full, they raise the leftmost one and slide the remaining two to the left side so that the one on top can go down.

Seeing Double
Rainbows are always a happy sight, especially for a big rainbow fan like me. =) But you almost never see a full rainbow or, even rarer, two rainbows at the same time. On NLEx, en route to Manila, we were witnesses to these 2 spectacular events happening at the same time.
At first I thought it was just your normal rainbow sighting, with majority of it concealed within/underneath the clouds.
After a while, another one revealed itself. Just couldn't resist the photo-op.
Lastly, just when I was about done looking at these simple wonders of nature, the inside rainbow showed itself in its full splendor.

Ah, the simple joys. =)
Human LCD Screen
Thanks to Cza for forcing me to watch this. =)
And who thought that the Japanese were the only ones capable of doing something crazy? Here's a YouTube clip showing high school Korean kids doing a human version of an LCD screen. LOL.

Mmmvelopes!
The latest in snail mail development: bacon-flavored envelopes!
This innovation will not only make you think why you're still using snail mail but also give you that full bacon flavor. =) The envelopes just don't taste like bacon, they also look like those very tasty strips of FAT. =)
These Mmmvelopes sell for $7/25 pcs.
Flare Shmare
Chanced upon this image while surfing the net.
Looked very interesting and something that would be worthy of note. I thought it was part of another breath-taking NASA picture from outer space. And then...
To my dismay, and D'OH moment, it's a "thermal image of a gentleman passing gas." :-& BWAARRRKKK indeed.
