The Inevitable 'How Time Flies'

I'm now on my 5th month on my 3rd job and I'm doing good so far. My contract is until December 31 and next year I will find out if I will be a regular employee already. I'm confident to say I have a good shot of being a regular employee, I'm never late, I submit my scripts on time and as for the quality of work, it's above average base from the feedback I've received, there is still room for improvement but its not disastrous. I'm happy to say I found my groove on this job, something I did not find on my first two jobs. If I will be a regular employee, I believe this will be a steady job for me. So crossing my fingers. Writing scripts for dubbing is something I really enjoy. Yes, I still have my ultimate career goals but I got to start somewhere and this is a good starting point.

***

My nephew is growing so fast and I love seeing him grow. I babysit on Sundays and it's hard job, it's physically exhausting but fulfilling especially whenever I see him laugh and smile. I'm glad he is a healthy boy unlike me when I was his age.

***

2009 is almost coming to an end and it was very challenging year for me, it started really difficult but at least I'm fairly happy now. I'm still a bit amazed how time flies, this decade is about to wrap up! I'm an adult now! Everything is changing. It's scary I admit, sometimes I still wish I was a student, looking back, despite the school stress, life is more simpler back then. As a 22 year old working person now, I'm already thinking about the future unlike before that there is a definite end in every school year, all your hardship for a school year will be culminated in a few months time. Now, it's so different. I'm already thinking of how my life should by the time I'm 25. But I'm taking one step at a time, no need to freak out this early. Just have the faith that everything will be fine as long as you have a goal.

Good luck to me!

Thank You Sir R.S

" Sir RS passed away on NOV 1 at about 2:30pm .. his remains will be available for viewing from NOV 4, 8am to NOV 6 8am at St. Peter's chapel-Genesis 3rd floor.(in bet pegasus & mitsubishi). Cremation will follow after d 7am mass on NOV6.."

I received this text message earlier today and I was shocked.Dr. Ricardo Santiagpo fondly called as Sir RS passed away. Sir RS was my professor in Ethics in college and he is a great professor. He has the reputation of being a terror prof, well he actually he is, but he is not the type of terror prof that does it to scare students or to impose authority. He is scary but you will really respect his teaching skills and wisdom. He does it for a reason. His teaching method is not conventional. His classes are not strictly mandated by syllabus and such but what he believes we should learn on our pace. He is the type of professor that you will have fun listening to. Yes, he joke a lot but underneath the jokes you'll discover the wisdom on it.

I feel privileged to be one of his students and he is surely a great loss at DLSU-D. Wherever you are Sir RS THANK YOU!

Fireflies is #1




Owl City's 'Fireflies" zoomed from #7 to #1 this week on Billboard's Hot 100! I'm so thrilled that this song hit #1, when I first heard this song I knew it has a chance to be a big mainstream hit but I never thought that it would be a #1 single in the U.S
It is just refreshing to see a different #1. I just got used to the typical songs that tops Billboard Hot 100 , you know the R&B/Rhythmic songs but Owl City defied the odds. The #1 victory was made possible due to the song selling 190+ thousand downloads this week . Very impressive. This is the most surprising #1 for me since Hey There Delilah by Plain White Ts in 2007. By "suprising", I mean a type of song that is a long shot top the Hot 100 mainly because of its genre and coming from a relatively unknown artist.
By the way, Owl City is not band but just one guy, kinda like Nine Inch Nails and Secondhand Serenade. It was love at first hear for this song, I just like the vibe this song exudes. And the Philippines, well at least Mega Manila which I'm exposed to, is also loving this song as it has been topping several radio music charts.

The Top 10 Sites in the Philippines

This list is courtesy of Alexa: The Web Information Company. The last time I check this list around July of this year, Friendster was still #1 site, now three months after the tides have turned and I'm not surprised with the results. I saw this coming. Anyway here is the Top 10 as of writing this entry.

  1. Facebook
  2. Yahoo
  3. Google Philippines
  4. Friendster
  5. YouTube
  6. Google
  7. Blogger
  8. Wikipedia
  9. Multiply
  10. Zynga
Around June this year I knew that over time Facebook will eclipse Friendster as the country's top social networking site and over all website as well. I had my Facebook account on November 2007 but it was more of flash in the pan for me. I enjoyed the games, the superpoke thing, the virtual pet etc but eventually my account was inactive because I have view friends there. This year my account was rejuvenated when my e-mail was suddenly flooded with several friend requests! Then Facebook had a makeover, it had chats, quizzes and more games. Then came Restaurant City, Mafia Wars, Farmville etc I then knew Facebook is going to be so popular. Actually, I didn't play any of those popular applications because it requires full attention haha and when I'm online I surf a lot of websites haha. My feed now is overflowing with updates haha. Well, some are already complaining because the site is becoming "jologs na daw". I just laughed at those comments, I find it snobbish. Although, I do understand that when you have contacts flooding your feed with quizzes, application invites etc but there is an option to not see those updates anyway. One downside of the sudden rise of FB is the site is becoming slow already.

With the rise of Facebook, former popular social networking sites Friendster and Multiply have been abandoned by a lot of their former users, some even deleting their account/s. I for one rarely visits those sites anymore because there's nary a people there anymore so there is few to read but I have no plans of deleting my accounts. What for? They may be inactive but those sites contained a lot of memories from me. I had some heartwarming testimonials on my Friendster and lots of memorable blog entries and photo albums on Multiply. Those sites are good time capsules and who knows maybe those sites could find a way to revitalize their sites and people will again flock to their sites.

Back to the list, technically #3 and #6 is basically the same it is just that when you type Google.com it will automatically go to Google PH. For what is worth, I think if we combine the hits of both sites they would be the #1.

The #10 website is connected to Facebook as it is the home of many popular games on FB. . Close to the top 10 are Twitter at #11 and Wordpress at #12. The top news/media website is Inquirer at #22 followed by GMA News at #28. No surprise there since both came from inq7.com the former popular media website .

My Space is #37, Plurk is #40, LiveJournal at #41 and Tumblr at #73. Tumblr is a rising website, I predict it will reach the top 40 soon. Lastly, my favorite online forum Pinoyexchange is #66.

My Top 5 New US Shows

The past month I've been checking out the new US TV shows and I must say there is a lot of good new shows there just like the 2007-2008 TV season. Hopefully this time a lot will be successful and will stay on air for a long time. Anyway, here are my Top 5 favorite new shows:


5. Cougar Town



The show's title is tongue-in-cheek and the show's is a bit tacky but I still find it hilarious. Courtney Cox is a hoot on this show and I love the supporting cast. This is like the first season of Desperate Housewives minus the mystery. But the show is really polarizing, hate it or love it, and obviously I'm on the latter side. This is the type of the show that will definitely be part of your "Guilty Pleasure" list.

4. FlashForward



Touted as the next Lost, this show delivers well. The premise of a worldwide blackout is intriguing and so far the episodes have been successful on keeping the suspense of the story. I'm excited if they could really stop the future from happening or if they stop it would it have a consequence? I hope the shows keeps the quality of writing good all throughout the season.

3. Glee



Definitely, the most hyped new show of the season and is already receiving a backlash. Nevertheless, this one of the most captivating shows I've seen in recent years. The musical productions are well produced and the writing is tight, they already have a breakout character with Jane Lynch's Sue Sylvester bringing the laugh out loud moments every episode with her sarcasm and deadpan humor. Plus, the music numbers are so good that I wish I was still in school so I could joined a Glee club haha.

2. The Middle



This is a sitcom about a middle class family in the middle part of the US and the show captured how the life of an average family in the time of an economic recession. It has the laughs and the heart. You can't help but feel Frankie's stress but you would still feel delighted on the ways on how she and her family cope with their day-to-day struggle. Among my top 5 favorite new shows this is the lowest rated so hopefully it would pick up eventually because it will be a shame if will just have a short run.

1. Modern Family



This sitcom is truly wonderful. This mockumentary chronicles the lives of three different families which are all part of one big family, one is the traditional family with a mom, dad ,and 3 kids, the other is a May-December couple with a kid from the wife's previous marriage and the last one is a gay couple who recently adopted a baby girl. What I love about this sitcom is the cast, even if the show is just one month old you felt like you've watched these people for a long time already, there is warmth among the cast that they could throw in lines with each other at ease. Each episode is tightly written with a theme that will come in full circle as an episode closes. The mockumentary set up is just perfect because there are lot of cringe-worthy moments during the interviews. My favorite characters here are Ty Burrel's wannabee cool daddy Phil and Eric Stonestreet's flamboyant other half of the gay couple Cameron, thinking of some of their scenes makes me laugh already. So far the show has been doing well in the ratings so hopefully this show would stay on the air for years to come.

***

Other notables: The Good Wife is a solid courtroom drama with an interesting ongoing character drama as well, it fills the void left by Judging Amy. I like the premise of Community (which is about a community college) although I find the supporting cast weak but still enjoyable to watch. The Vampire Diaries is reminiscent of the late 90s/early 00s young adult fantasy dramas and if you like shows like Roswell and Buffy the Vampire Slayer you will like this one. And course if you are into Twilight and True Blood, this latest offshoot of the vampire pop culture fad is not a bad addition. There is room for improvement for Accidentally on Purpose but the lead characters have enough chemistry to make me watch every week and see how their unconventional relationship set-up will work out.
