Let’s talk about sex

Sex makes people healthy, cheerful, strong, beautiful and sleepy:

It is generally believed that human beings have sex either for pleasure or reproduction. However, the number of people driven with these motivations has been reducing steadily during the recent years. The majority of humans use sex as the most pleasant and available remedy for a whole bouquet of problems.

DUH!?!? Why are news items like these popping up now? This has been a fact since the beginning of time! In fairness, it was dated July 2005, but still!

It’s a good argument nonetheless to use for persuading your girl/guy, who likes going to the gym, to put their efforts to “better use” hehehehe. Seriously.

Warranties

I remember the time when I bought stuff and didn’t really care about warranties with the notion that “in the Philippines,” warranties won’t matter since the service, in general, sucks.

But as my gadgets grew more complex, I noticed the need for them and made sure that certain stuff I buy needed warranties because

There are companies that are reliable.
Some stuff really break easy.
Murphy’s law… ’nuff said.

I guess I’m just posting this now because my powerbook ordeal today reminded me of how warranties have saved a lot of moolah. I’ve already had a bunch of equipment covered by warranty one way or the other. Off the top of my head, I already had my 20D, PC power supply unit, pc motherboard, powerbook, ImageTank, speakers, and earphones fixed/replaced under warranty.

I just got the bottom case of the powerbook replaced for the second time today. And the fact that it was under warranty made it a very joyous occasion considering the situation…

Random thoughts

So much has happened since the last time I’ve blogged, but I’m not in the mood to go into details.

I will mention though that one of the more notable events was a series of concerts we had in the AFP theater, after each we would setup camp at Jeline’s till the weekend was over.

It was a fun concert because we would call it the “Soulsearch get-together” since apparently our group found its way to so many different groups and suddenly merged into one event. Jeline, Chris, Jonel from the Ateneo Chamber Singers, Elaine from Hangad (and ACS), me from BukasPalad, and GP as the arranger of a bunch of songs, and pianist of the orchestra (and ACS member too)

It’s like every “group” you’d check out, there was at least one Soulsearch member in there. What a waste that Chrise and Joy (Hangad) weren’t there. If the Madrigal Singers were there, then Soulsearch would still have been represented by Papo hahahha. We’re like insects infesting the music world hehehehe.

Mapatulan nga…

Jowi posted something interesting in her blog, which I will have to disagree with to a certain extent. I’ve commented on it, but I thought instead of editing myself with follow up replies (since LJ doesn’t seem to have a comment-edit feature) I’ll just state my argument here.

Read the post first before looking below, because I will assume you have absorbed it. Read More
