8 Things About Myself... ^_^

MOMnificent, who's one of my friends and part of my Blog Roll tagged me and asked to list down 8 Things about myself.

1. I am a KUMAG, which means I'm a lil crazy kid inside. I always plan things so I could get what I want but if I can't I'd probably make HANDUSAY (go ballistic and roll on the floor) and still get what I want LOL.

2. I am a Filipino, inheritor of a glorious past and hostage of an uncertain future. My bloodline is of Spanish decent. I look fine. I'm a big guy with big guns (my arms are huge from working out lolz) I hate my beer belly every time I look at it lolz... I'll probably get them perfect washboard abs by next year! ^_^ I'm a gym rat.

3. I like my job. I work a lot, then workout at the gym, I blog, then play online games (cabal and RAN online) which comprises my daily routine. I only go out on weekends.

4. I have not incurred a single absence from my company since 2003. I went on a vacation leave a few times but never an absence. I haven't taken a single leave this year btw and am running for perfect attendance at work still ^_^

5. I love to dance, I go clubbing mostly on weekends with friends and go to the finest bars in the metro. My wifey loves to see me dance too... no matter how big I look lolz... I also sing... I can sing songs by women too lolz... I mimic voices and am not that too proud of my original voice. So I usually stick to other voices I could carry a tune with (on a range much like Kenny Loggins etc.)

6. I can't buy a car, because I lack parking space at home already ^_^ The van's too big.

7. I love watching Food Network shows... Barefoot Contessa, Giadda De Laurenti, Mario Batalli, Gordon Elliot, Bobby Flay... I know them all... I cook too... If I taste something I usually can cook them too... I usually know the ingredients once I get to taste em. ^_^ I'm getting hungry lolz...

8. My phone (a Nokia 6280) is also my friend, I usually text (use sms) about 200 times a day... and receive about the same amount from friends... or maybe more I lost count lolz...

Zenni Optical : Revolutionizing Choices in the Eyecare Industry

I've been telling all my friends about this site which I've recommended twice here already. ZenniOptical.com is an online store that wishes you to have affordable and world class quality eyeglasses. You know how expensive things are in the United States and in Britain. With the credit crunch also becoming a factor to anyone in the world, consumers would want to purchase necessities wisely. Prescription eyeglasses have prices skyrocketing in the recent decades. People should not suffer more in these times where health care should always be a priority. Good thing ZenniOptical.com understands this and only would charge you a very kind price in the $8 - $20 range, not a preposterous $400 frame when the only difference is the designer brand. Everyone should have the choice to get high quality eyeglasses and make it affordable worldwide.

In the US, ZenniOptical.com has created opportunities for choice in the frame and prescription glasses market. This has always been their niche; their trademark is to make their products affordable without sacrificing quality. Did you also hear about their feature in Fox News? That was really an in depth look at their products. They even have their products mentioned in this article:

Even the Chicago Tribune recommends consumers to take a look at spending for these things wisely. People should never stick to the notion of only buying their eyeglasses from their doctors who normally charge very high. With the same quality they can get it at around $8 at ZenniOptical.com. You should try it out/recommend to your friends and relatives the choices you make. It's a not just a bargain, it's a steal already so why wait?!

150 Vintage bombs found in Batangas

Something like this in your own backyard?! O_O

It's actually a find by a couple who wanted to merely just dig a place for their trash in Brgy. Sta Maria Itaas in Bauan Batangas. They only dug about 8 feet deep and discovered about a few, but never did in their dreams that their home was actually sitting on 150 bombs... 15 members of the local police and Regional bomb squad rushed to the scene and discovered 3 sacks more of black powder.

Each bomb weighed about 20 kilos each and nobody confirmed if they were from the US or Japanese. As you may know, we were part of World War 2 history.All these items were brought to the Provincial Ammo Dam Office in Batangas for temporary storage then it will be send to Ternate, Cavite or Clark base in Pampanga for proper disposal. I bet you now want to dig your own backyard huh? O_O hahaha!

The STARBUCKS PLANNER 2009 : Whatyathink?!

This is the new planner... Red, Blue and Black. Is it worth it?

The coffee lovers past time; can I seriously complete these stickers for that Planner? O_O

I still have my 2007 Leather bound Planner with Starbucks silver Pen at home, I also have last year's planner that was not that appealing. I was waiting for this one since I was anticipating a better one, well to my surprise I found a small hard bound notebookish thingy on the shelves of the store. They gave me my card which I need to fill up every time I get me cup of coffee from the same store. This ain't right... we were expecting more but it became waaaaay simpler and ordinary. I did not even see if this was tied up to the same charity that was previously advertised. Could the money from this just go to something else we don't know? That's just another story.

To complete this and get that planner I need to consume 16 cups or more of these:

Holiday featured Beverages ( 8 Stickers )

Dark Cherry Mocha
Toffee But Latte
Praline Mocha <<< This was the one I ordered yesterday! It was good and nutty!

Beverage of your choice ( 8 Stickers ) so you can probably choose the regulars. I perhaps would just take my everyday Caramel Macchiato for this! ^_^

US President Barack Obama : YES WE CAN!

See the blue states here that went all the way for President Barack Obama in the elections, no wonder he overwhelmingly won the elections! I was a skeptic this morning because when I was running on my treadmill, there were about 3 states being counted and it was showing McCain on the lead. I together with about 6 CNN anchors were asking "we never saw it this close". Then again, when I went home and had my bowl of oatmeal the results from other states came in and NEVER did I see McCain lead again. The CNN reporters even did analyze known Republican states were swinging to Obama at that time.

Since he already passed 270 (the magic number you need to win) they went ahead and celebrated in Chicago. There were about 125,00 supporters that frolicked a slightly cold evening in the windy city. Even Rev. Jessie Jackson was there to celebrate. Though the mood was ecstatic, when the speech came... it looked like Obama was calming everyone down instead of celebrating... I thought about that too... peoples expectations might have been a little too high. They need everyone's help in working for that "CHANGE" he promised in day 1 of his campaigns. I just wished he also mentioned Asia... I never heard him mention it in any of his speeches... to think he's even from Indonesia you know?! and btw, his middle name is Hussein I think... =/

Obama wins by a large margin, he only needed 270 to win but it looks like a whopping 338 here! ^_^ He is the first African American President of the United States of America

Be heard in the Marketplace

It's like another busy day at work!

I work for a multinational corporation that engages with clients from North, Central, South America, Europe and Asia. I know how hard it is for our Marketing Department to get plans implemented for their campaigns. The communication mediums are limitless and one company called My Voice Dialing offers "Voice Broadcasting". I told them that this might be the company that they need.

Well I'm sure everybody would ask what that technology is. If you think about it, its just simply automating information through calls. A common term used for this is "Robo Calls" and what My Voice Dialing does is transmit these at rates of thousands of calls per hour. It truly is that fast!

This can be used in different ways and can be provided by only the best in the industry. Competitors that tried to mimic the same technology never had My Voice Dialing's customer base (through lead generation) and personalized approach to support. PLDT in the Philippines use this same technology to have their services told to millions of their telephone subscribers throughout the country. This in turn would convert in more sales today since they can reach them easily and automatically tell people how easy and extremely cost worthy it is to subscribe with their promos. With the Presidential election that will happen today for example, you can always count on Obama and McCain putting investments campaigning through different media. Whoever availed services from My Voice Dialing between them would obviously have the edge over the other since they can automate telling their plans for the country faster and better. It's the one you need if you want to be heard in the marketplace.

It's JUDGEMENT DAY! The US Elections 2008

Obama votes early (an hour and a half ago while I was making this post) and we all hope he gets the worm Lol

Today is the US elections where everyone is watching who will win the seat for the most big boned influential country in the world. I am still rooting for Obama, but McCain was pushing for an upset when I watched his political campaigns yesterday in CNN. Yeah I know I was busy trying to get some sleep because I had about 5 hours only that day. I still managed to get on the tube and listen to their last strategies on states that are undecided. McCain went for those states but Obama on the other hand went onto those that are known republican territories. A new strategy huh?!

Not only that, Obama was tired I think and called that place a different one... I guess fatigue and traveling different counties in the last 48 hours have caught up to him. I hope after he votes today he just sits back at home and relax, then just wait for the results which would probably be counted in a few hours.

By the way, there are some that say Obama should have gone to the funeral of Jennifer Hudson's family. Yeah she's from the same City that Obama resides, tough they probably have understood the campaign is at its end and I mean why should he go there if Oprah and the rest of Hollywood already are there. Early data already indicates Obama winning but there are some undecided states they still have to battle for. You need 270 to win the election and I suppose every poll say Obama has the upper hand. Here's a non official forecast:

I'm sure if he had the chance he would have come. Goodluck in Florida! ^_^

Zenni was on FOX news!

OMG! Do you remember the online store I recommended here in my site a month ago? (Click here for that story) Zenni Optical was on FOX news! and just got featured in the Deal or Dud segment. This is where they review products, services and other things of human interest. It's a good thing that hey received some good reviews and even bared that people all over US ordered and got their prescription and Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni for a fraction of the cost in local markets. How about the statement "$20.00 for a 20/20 vision", that's way awesome!

People in the US and around the globe now have the chance to cheaper panache Great Eyeglasses For Less the price since they never go through middlemen. This portal directly had them order online and get the glasses delivered into their doorstep. Other suppliers and branded names maybe are in threat because consumers took advantage of this simple idea. Whatever their reasons are, I strongly know that this is a good thing. Middle class to the poorest of this country now have a choice; they can even save a lot in the process and not spend hundreds of dollars just for a pair. Check out Zenni on Fox for the video if you missed it!

Your New US President : Barack Obama

I know I maybe pre-empting you guys for this Tuesday's elections but so far, the numbers all point to one candidate. Barack Obama may well be the President of the United States of America.

Look at that crowd! O_O

With countless funds going in on his campaign, he even got a 30 minute commercial loaded on almost all TV stations in prime time explaining his agenda for the government. He mentioned to even unite with McCain on some issues when the election announces him as a winner. He would be declared then also as the first Black President in history.

His campaign at this end ran on states that are well known to be Republican since the 1964 election and even there e is still winning the numbers. That though is bad news for McCain as he tries to maintain these Republican states but even these are being converted to his side 2days before the election. Now look what will happen in Tuesday as Americans decide who'll lead them to CHANGE that they need.

The Sproutwells made me drop my techbooks this evening

I'm on a diet. As shocking as that may sound I am. I won't mention my weight anymore to spare me the embarrassment I could get from people reading my site but it isn’t that bad either. I exaggerate things like this of course because I live quite a healthy lifestyle.

I go to gym every time I can. I eat plainly and don't really have the time to watch what I usually eat. I do heart loving - exercises and most of the time I don't really have an excuse, but I try to get myself on a diet every now and then. When I see people bigger than me I usually am inspired to work harder. I guess that's why my arms and biceps are this BIG. People do appreciate that a lot sometimes and I admit that I am flattered too.



This evening I just recently joined a website (and dropped my tech books) called freshfunds where you can accrue points you can use to earn prizes. Not ordinary ones but healthy options like Chiquita Fruit and Veggie Bites, Fresh Express Gourmet Café Salads, and Fresh Express Packaged Salads. You can also make use of the site to get in touch with charitable institutions and bid on auction items. Donations then would go to institutions supported by the site. This is for a very good cause and I strongly recommend you register on the site and show you care by doing a better and nutrient filled pronouncement for you and your family.



Watch this clip and let my just introduce to you The Sproutwells that can tell you wonders about this:
