Apparently, Tom Kenny, AKA the voice of Spongebob, has a Facebook Page. Yes, you heard that right.

Here’s the link

Apparently, his last post was Friday at 10:07 AM so whoever spread that rumor must’ve been tracking his Facebook. Lol!

And he’s not as young as he looks on his pic on the previous post. Lol!

Anyway, I think I’ll just keep checking out his page for new updates. If he posts new updates, he’s probably alive. If otherwise, well, the search goes on…. Lmao!

Has the voice of Spongebob really died or is this just a meme?

I was surprised to have read about this on Facebook but I always knew Facebook wasn’t as reliable a source for information as other websites so I did some flash research.

It turns out, that Tom Tom Kenny, the voice actor for Spongebob, has had suffered rumors like this one spread before.

If you’re an avid Spongebob fan, I suggest you stock up on certified original memorabilia because if the rumors are true, Spongebob Squarepants would only last for around two more weeks. (If you’re a resident of the Philippines, you need not worry much since there are no Original Memorabilia here as far as I know and also because we are being fed old canned cartoons. Y’know, to lower the rights acquisition costs a bit. They wait for it to sell lower, then the TV companies buy up. In the meantime, they show infinite reruns :D)

Some info from here.

Enjoy your weekend!

After suffering almost no internet access, I began to ponder whether I should still call it LAGSPIKES.

From what I understand, (and please do correct me if I’m wrong,) any normal internet connection encounters lagspikes. It is momentary pulses wherein you lose signal. If you got a good enough internet connection and you want to see what I’m saying, do a ping test on any valid IP address, especially foreign ones and you’ll see what I mean. You’re connected most of the time but you ocassionally get lagspikes. The part where the IP Address failed to respond momentarily but gets back to normal again.

Now, extreme lagspikes would involve you losing bandwidth within a long enough time for you to notice. E.g. when you suddenly get the “Page not Found” error message on your browser then you just refresh and it gets back to normal. That is still acceptable.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, my actual graphical representation of a SIGNAL SPIKE. (Screen Caps captured the time I was writing this.)

Opposite to the LAGSPIKE, the signal spike is when you get nothing then get momentary access to the internet then nothing at all within the blink of an eye.

Uhh, could someone help me verify if the term “Signal Spike” actually exists? I wanna be sure if I wanna be rejoicing right now or not. 😀

 

Oh, and notice that I only get GPRS signals. Hey, the company promised speeds of up to 3 MBPS. Of course that was a maximum value. They never said that the minimum value was 0. Nyahahaha!

From the day we were born, we rarely put ourselves in others’ shoes. There are those who are fortunate enough to receive the gift of good health even up to ages past 60. Some say blessedness. Some say they’re just lucky.

I encountered my medical condition at an early age. Being Half-Crippled at one time and fully able at another is really a hard task to live with. I had to have a condition wherein I can’t even stand for a whole month for me to fully understand what it was like to be a real cripple and I was lucky enough to have gradually recovered although I still can’t run.

It amuses me every time people gawk at me in awe whenever I buy gas or water from the store foot brace attached. (Like as if they couldn’t lift the same weight? They’re just too lazy. That’s the point.)

I don’t think they’d believe I can’t run.

But that’s my point. It’s not how hard it is for you to get up but the fact that you can get up. Rejoice to the fact that you’re not disabled in any way. Even if you are partially disabled, there’s always a worse case.

This is what happened when I first saw her Blog. TACK (AKA KCAT) is someone worse off than me. I can say in full honesty that I am intentionally avoiding her blog at all costs. It’s part of my medical condition. The next time I cry may be the last. I had my heart removed for that purpose but there’s something in her that makes my eyes watery and then makes my chest hurt badly. I just had to avoid her blog after that. I love my life.

But don’t take it too seriously. It’s not that bad. Lol! (And if you’re interested, she’s on my Blogroll… I think.)

To imagine someone in her condition still fighting and supporting other people with medical conditions like hers and other cases unsimilar, that’s gotta take real spirit. She has been a beacon of light to those in her Blogroll.

Anyway, here’s my chance to help. I’ve no money to help her with her medication and all and I’m in a bit of a rough financial season (Yeah, my employer still sucks at paying up.) so I thought this would be the best way I can help her without actually spending anything. Lol!

If you have a heart, follow this link and vote for TACK. And I give you my sincere thanks for your time and for helping us out.

If you don’t have a heart, follow this link and vote for KCAT. You only need to vote once and I ain’t asking for money so VOTE!

And don’t give me the excuse of not being able vote because it’s too hard to figure out. Blogging and Facebook is even harder to figure out but you’re probably an expert already..

(Note: Pun intended only to those who refuse to vote. Nyahaha! I was not the one who nominated her so I am not in any way gonna earn any money by joining this campaign. I’m just helping. All prize money to be won by KCAT goes to KCAT.)

Now with more boredom and insanity to spare and less time to even sleep!!

Hurry while supplies last.

 

Promo may or may not be extended depending on my mood. If symptoms persist, consult a real doctor. I’m just a quack. If you’re actually considering this as a medical alternative, that’s your problem, not mine. Lmao!

 

Disclaimer: Despite the talk about me and Red Lips, nah, we’re just friends and she just got a job as an office clerk at a PNP office. XD And I stil failed to get her number. Lol!

Introducing the only internet service in the country (maybe even the whole world but I can’t be sure) who offers the unique unlimited service with a 1GB limit!!!

Yes, you heard that right. This is the only limited unlimited internet service you could ever find. It’s too good that other ISPs would soon surely follow suit.

Hurry! Maybe you could be lucky as me to have received this message. Remember, it’s not as easy as you think and only the best amongst subscribers can reach this 1GB limit and if you already did, we’ll we’ve both been had!!! Nyahahaha! Congratulations!

 

Note to other ISPs: If you want to offer me a good deal, please don’t hesitate to contact me especially if it involves a free plug-it from your company. I’d switch if I could only I lack the money to buy a new plug-it. And Globe, if you’re reading this, I already know Wi-Max sucks. Don’t try to offer me any temporary solutions… And tell your agent to stop hitting on my wife.

I suddenly remembered an epic I used to hear regularly and taking a look back, it was worth sharing. Again, I hope I don’t mess up and leave out important details. Enjoy…

 

A certain Pedro Abanquil was going to the city to look for his fortune. Before going off, his mother warned him to be wary of scams and whatnots. He nodded and told his mum not to worry for he can handle himself.

When he arrived at the pier, he boarded the first ship to the city. When the ship arrived, he went to a street vendor to buy a smoke. Then when he was about to light it and found he forgot to buy matches. The vendor, being used to his line of work, offered his Zippo lighter.

“Ano yan, niloloko mo ba ako?” said an innocently infuriated Pedro. (What’s that for? Are you shitting me?)

The vendor just smiled like he understood he just came from the islands. Instead of replying, he opened the lighter with the flick of a wrist and out came fire.

Surprised, Pedro said “Ayos! Pati pala posporo, de lata na.” (Kewl! Canned Matches!) He lighted his cig and went on.

He arrived at the bus station and was struck with awe. He went near a bus and examined the door. He said “Aba’y ka gandang bahay nire.” (What a great looking house.)

He knocked on the door and said “Tao po!!” (Anybody home?) Surprise took him as the hydraulic door opened up. The driver bade him to hop aboard as they were about to leave. Mindful of his manners, he removed his slippers before entering. He noticed there were lots of people inside so he asked around. “Kanino po bang bahay ire?” (Who owns this house?) but nodoby replied as all were holding back their laughter and giggles.

As he sat down, he noticed something. “Aba’y ka galing, gumagalaw ang paligid.” (Kewl! Everything else outside is moving.) he said to himself. “Iba talaga dito sa kabihasnan.” (It’s really different here in the city.

Being dizzied by the movement of the bus, he fell asleep. Later on, the conductor tried to wake him up saying “Ser, nasa istasyon na ho tayo. Baba na ho.” (Wake up Sir, we’ve arrived at the station. You have to get off now.) He obliged.

As he went out, he noticed his slippers were missing. Infuriated, he yelled out “T@ng!n@, sino nagnakaw ng tsinelas ko?” (D@mm!t, who stole my slippers?) Seeing no suspects around and feeling that his slippers were really lost without any hope of redemption, he went to a nearby bench, sat down and fimbled into his bag to find his sneakers and a pair of socks.

Feeling down, he put on his socks and then his sneakers. He liked those slippers. Suddenly, he felt hungry so he went to a nearby mall to look for food. Again, he was struck by awe. “Aba’y ka gandang bahay nire. Ke inam. At andaming tao.” (What a beautiful house. Excellent! And look at all the people.”

He followed his nose which led him to the foodcourt. He was surprised at the feast that laid in front of his eyes. There were food all around. “Pista siguro ditto ngayon.” (It must be a Feast) he said to himself. Joyfully, he went to the nearest food stall. He was surprised to learn that the food was not free. Being hungry as he was, he was forced to for over some money in exchange for food.

He found an empty table and settled in so he can eat. “Grabe pala dito, kahit Piyesta, may bayad ang pagkain.” (I can’t believe it. They charge for food even at Feasts.)

He dug into the grub which he found delectable. Being new to these foods, he sampled all he could eat. Then when he was full, he went out of the mall.

He walked along the streets until it got dark and he can’t help but admire the city lights.

Suddenly, he felt his stomach hurting with spasms. Must’ve been all the food he ate. He looked for a place where he could “go”. Luckily, there was a nearby club which were attractive enough with all the ladies seated outside. Colorful lights glittering all around. He approached the guard on duty and asked where the bathroom was while holding his hurting stomach with one hand. Obviously, he had to go. He was pointed towards the bathroom. Hurriedly, he went in. Being not familiar to modern bathroom innovations, he thought the bowl was a well for clean water. He was used to doing it on the ground. Feeling he really had to go, he had no other choice. He can’t soil anywhere since the place was so clean.

He got a sudden brilliant idea. He removed his sock and placed it below his arse… Then he “went” making sure that all the $h!t was going into the sock. As expected, the $h!t was watery like the constipated stuff. Then came another problem. He didn’t have anywhere he can dump it into. Looking around, he noticed there was a small window above head level. He just knew he should throw it out of there before anybody notices. He tied up the sock to make sure everything gets out. He noticed it was starting to drip as the janitor was knocking on the door. They must’ve been nervous of what happened to a potential customer as he was taking too long than normal.

He had to make his move. He swung his sock around as if to gain momentum and as the janitor was able to open the door with his key, he let go of the sock. Luckily, the sock was launched perfectly out of the window.

Awe and disgust struck the Janitor as he saw the walls. Pedro didn’t notice that the drippings have spiralled onto the walls. Then the janitor noticed that the bowl was clean. A puzzled face looked onto Pedro.

Feeling awkward and apologetic, he tried to apologize to the Janitor and begged not to get angry. He was guilty and afraid that the guy might hit him.

“Wag ka mag alala, di kita sasaktan.” (Don’t worry, I won’t hit you.) Said the puzzled Janitor. “Pero sabihin mo muna sa akin kung paano mo ginawa yan.” (But first, you have to tell me how you did all that.) he continued while pointing at the walls.

 

(To be continued… maybe)

 

Note: Any names places and situations (and whatever) are purely coincidental. This is an old tale (or rather a collection of old tales) and I don’t even know who the authors were. Also, it’s more like a collaboration of Promdi Jokes. I just had to compile them onto one whole story since I noticed it could fit in. More tales to follow… hopefully. XD

Last night’s hurriedly assembled team building session (Organized by yours truly) was a hit. Everybody felt more comfortable about each other and that ought to bring work people closer. By that, I can safely say that the objectives have been met.

The problem is this: those red lips keep haunting my thoughts. It’s disturbing.

I never aimed to get into the closely friendly side of the girl whom those red lips belonged to. Amongst the encoders, she was the hottest. (At least by my books.)

It wouldn’t have been a problem if she wasn’t already designated to a Bro… But she is HOT.

When we were still at work, we had the itch to go out and have a light party. (Simply put, our throats were dry.)

First phase of the drinking… err… Team Building session, we situated ourselves at one of Churrasco’s open air tables so the half of the group could smoke. (The other half didn’t smoke.) Then came the ordering session. It was a good thing my buddy promised to share the expenses since I may have less than the budget required and the other two claimed to have no beer money at the moment. Anyway, we promised we’d pay up just so they’d join up.

She knew how to order… That’s a fact. It’s a good thing their Cervesa Negra was Ice cold at the moment. (That evened things out) Maybe because they rarely get orders for that.

Then came the drinking/eating session. Half of the group wanted booze and the other half went for the grub. Well, basically, my buddy and I just wanted to unwind, The other one had a liver condition so he just had iced tea. The hot girl with the red lips just wanted the grub. Lol! But later, she went for a bottle of Tanduay Ice. (I prefer Antonov Apple Vodka by the way.)

The chat session was splendid. We may never have normally known that the one with the weak liver was a 5000 pesos per 7 tricks magician. Kewl! I may never have known that the red lips were currently owned. (Woe for my buddy who have claimed her as his target. Lol.)

Back in the office, me and Red Lips were practically non-existent to each other. I look intimidating especially while working so she tends to avoid talking to me. I tend to avoid talking to her since she’s so intimidatingly HOT. (Yeah, she’s that hot… And I thought I had abnormally high pheromone levels. XD)

I couldn’t help but think that my buddy was kinda stupid enough to sit in front of her when he could’ve sat at the chair they left me. (Right beside the girl.) If he was seated where I was, normally, he’d have the natural tendencies to chat her up. Anyway, we all had a great chat so it still wasn’t a waste. Besides, I’m only occasionally reporting to office and he was in the office 5 days a week. . . And they (including Red Lips) kinda work under him.

When the session was about to end, I noticed she was re-touching her make up (extremely red lipstick) and I couldn’t help but try to stop her. I might get too intoxicated by the alcohol and I may not be able to hold myself. I just had to play the “You’re beautiful even without makeup” card just to stop her but she refused to budge. She just had to put lipstick on.

And damn those people who left me to walk her until she had hailed a cab home. Well, I would’ve given her a cab ride home because of tradition but she insisted not to due to her personal tradition. I had to respect that. Had to keep my cool or I would most probably drool. . . The way her hair flows just sends a sickeningly bad sensation deep inside me. Aside from that, I’ve never imagined any girl could say T@E in a sexy way. It’s poisonously endearing. Too endearing it’s actually priceless. Regret goes to not bringing the camera along. She’s dangerously photogenic.

It’s a good thing she agreed to go the next time we arrange another Team Building Session.

Anyway, here’s to hoping that this memory stays in this blog and out of my mind. I’ll be breaking two traditions if this doesn’t. One, she’s tagged by a Bro as his target. Two, I don’t get jiggy with work acquaintances.

And remembering this, I can’t help but feel stupid that of all things, I forgot to get her number. She may think I’m playing the “don’t get her number on the first date” card.

A Filipino died and has faced judgement. He was sent to hell.

When he arrived, he noticed that there is one hell for every country. He asked around and he found out that you can choose to register to another country’s hell aside from your own but you’d have to handle the paperwork.

He decided he’d walk around for a while and see the different hells. He noticed that every type of hell is pretty much the same. Residents are boiled in oil for up to five hours, made to lie down on a bed of nails for a couple of hours then they get electrocuted five times. After all that, they get whipped by the local devil for the rest of the day.

He saw the American hell and noticed there aren’t many Filipinos. He’d figured that since there are too many Filipinos dying to become American Citizens, they’d jump at the chance to get a Green card even in hell.

He walked on until he saw a very long line of people. He asked what they were lined up for.

“Oh, we want to become Filipino Citizens here in hell.” Replied the American soul. Puzzled, he went nearer to the other end of the line and found out that it really was the Philippine Hell.

Curiosity kicked in so he asked the Fillipino guard on duty. “Bakit andaming nakapila?” (Why is the line too long?)

“Ganyan ho talaga ditto.” Replied the guard. “Lahat sila gusto pumasok sa impyerno natin.” (It’s like this normally. They all want to belong to our hell.)

“Eh, bakit naman?” Replied the puzzled soul. (Why?)

“Kasi, yung mga pako sa kama, may nagnakaw. Yung langis, ibinenta nung isang opisyales tapos pinalitan ng tubig kaso di pa nakakabili ng gas para sa kalan at nagkakatamaran pa kung sino bibile. Laging walang kuryente kaya di magamit yung electric chair tapos, yung demonyo dito, dating taong gobyerno nung nabubuhay pa kaya papasok lang sa umaga para mag time-in tapos uuwi na. Lulutang lang yun ulit sa hapon para mag time-out.”

(Someone stole the nails. Some officials sold the oil and replaced it with water. The stove to heat the water ran out of gas and they’re still arguing over who will buy a new tank. We regularly have power failures so the electric chair is worthless and the resident demon used to be a Government employee back when he was still alive. He just comes in to punch his card in the morning then goes home. He only goes back to punch his card out by the end of his shift.)

Ever since I got this lappy ang a plug-it, I’ve been searching for a good enough online game to keep me pacified whenever I get too bored. I do get those really lonely nights when I get sleepless and I need to do something to let off some heat.

I tried downloading Cabal Online. Waited for long enduring hours (which is technically days, almost a week) for the download to finish. Then I waited patiently for the launcher to update the game. After that, I endured the Gameguard Update.

Then I was able to play for like an hour.

Got disconnected after that since my internet started acting up. Looks like my specially prioritized trial period was up. Oh, well.

Each day after that, I kept trying to log in to my demise. Even when I had a good connection speed, the servers were too crammed to let me in. I had to buy a premium account (which involved real money) just to log into the non-congested premium servers.

After two weeks of trying, I gave up. It was no longer worth the effort. I was like a beggar begging for scraps.

 

I tried to look for another alternative. Searched for other games that e-games had to offer. I tried installing Operation 7. A game I used to be very familiar with. Would’ve been worth trying. I tried it. Same thing happened. Same process. Been able to play for less than an hour then it got impossible to log in.

Hey, I’m not blaming the game companies. My Internet connection was just too slow.

I even got back to playing Gunbound. I think I may have stumbled upon a private server since it wasn’t Mobius which was what I recall to have been handling GB in the Philippines. This time, it got better. I was able to play for about a week. , , Then comes the difficulty of logging in. If I do get lucky, I get booted out because of the low connection speeds.

Then I took a little peek at Levelup Games. The same old games were there plus some new ones. Only the crappy ones were free to play. Ragnarok was still up but still went for the same rates as it was before. Sadly, I couldn’t afford this game right now so I let it pass.

 

Months later, I found out from a Hot BBW friend that there are many veteran MMO players who have been hooked on playing Ragnarok in private servers. I used to be an avid gamer (of Ragnarok) back in 2004 and I am kinda missing it so I gave it a try.

I downloaded a 1.5GBish installer. Well, it took me about 4 days to download but that’s just me. Installed it right after downloading then updated with the patcher.

Luckily, everything went smoothly after patching. Was able to play… until they had to close the server for maintenance.

Anyway, it performed satisfactorily. There were less lags (must’ve been my internet) than the paid Ro I used to play and this time, it’s free. No more 300 per month or 100 per week or 50 per 8 hours.

Also, the lag could be easily managed since there were fewer people logged on compared to 2004.

The Major difference was the experience accumulation. Of course, Paid RO from Levelup had to take long before you level-up. They had to squeeze every last centavo out of you. This time, it was free so they tweaked a few things. . . Ok, a lotta things.

Before, it took me months of casual gaming just to get to a decent level and my character still sucked. Now, I played for around less than two hours and my character is more than what my character was 6 years ago. Now, that was fast.

But the long-time players insisted that it gets challenging later on like they tweaked things so you’d level-up faster to face the better challenges earlier.

 

In a nut shell, I’m anticipating my coming adventures in this server. The maintenance just made me salivate for more.

 

And did I forget to tell you about the uber cool new jobs and 3rd level jobs? It is Awesome!

Gotta go now. Looks like the server is up again. 😀
