Zero Point Energy and Amega

It has been so long since I last posted here in Pinkoy. For quite sometime, a lot of things had happened that I would say, improved the quality of my life.

The many years of neglecting my own personal happiness due to forced responsibility have finally reached closure. Now all I can say is, I am free.

Going...Gone (list 2)

Here yet is another list of things that have either become already obsolete or will soon become in the next few years (as sourced from different lists published online).

VCRs/VHS TAPES: In 2005, the Washington Post penned an obituary of sorts for the VHS tape, writing, "VHS -- the beloved videotape format that bravely won the war against Betamax and charmed millions of Americans by allowing them to enjoy mindless Hollywood entertainment without leaving their homes -- has died at the age of 29. It passed away peacefully after a long illness caused by chronic technological insignificance and a lack of director's commentary tracks."

Going...Gone

Nothing is permanent, so they say. Really time flies so fast that, for instance, we just hit the year 2011. 12 months have come and gone just like that, and now we've reached decade two of two thousand...just like that.

Personally, I'm quite ecstatic to have my life at least reached this period when knowledge and technology make it possible for new things to develop at light speed. Things that we thought were nifty and high-tech yesterday have become obsolete and insignificant today.

Hunters

I just finished watching this film called "The End Of The Line," a documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year, revealing the devastating impact of overfishing on our world's oceans.

As always, it personally angered me how man can be so wantonly abusive of our earth's natural resources, that some species are now nearly wiped out. How did this happen? Our seas comprise more than 70 percent of our earth's surface that it would be unthinkable for humans to deplete this virtually infinite food source. Wrong.

Pop rocks? Ouch!

Today I just found out that one of the pillars of rock radio, NU107, is saying goodbye with just a few hours to go before it shifts to, sadly, a more revenue-viable programming.

This is definitely a sad day for me personally because what would soon happen to NU107 confirms one of my greatest fears - the beginning of the end of rock radio in the Philippines as we know it.

Dang Facebook!

Facebook - that social networking site that, only a little less than five years ago I registered into just for kicks in addition to my then active Friendster account. A little less than five years ago, I only had around two real-life pals in my Facebook friends list along with a couple of strange foreigners who were just in my list for some strange reason, and the only activity I did there was play yoville.

Then everything about Facebook suddenly changed.

Bob Ong Quotes...translated (Part 7)

And I thought part six of my translated Bob Ong quotes is the last of this series. I spoke too soon, I guess. So, here I am again, having fried my brain cells in my attempt to translate these quotes for Pinkoy readers. For my own sanity, I'm gonna do two parts for this batch of quotes.

Before I move on to my translations though, apologies all if I've sort of dropped out from the face of the blogging world. Don't ask why...It's complicated LOL.

Do you believe in the Zodiac?

Many skeptics out there wonder why a lot of people still believe in zodiac signs. A number of people will tell them the many reasons why. The most common reasons for this belief are the following: it gives them a heads up on what's going to happen in their lives, they believe it explains who they are, or it will help them find what they are looking for, whether it's the life their destined to live or the person they were meant to be with.

Andito lang kami, Kuya

Kanina lang ay pinanood ko ang inauguration ng bagong pangulo ng Pilipinas, Benigno Aquino III. Sa totoo lang, napaiyak ako…inisip ko, sya na ba talaga ang makakapag-bago ng Pilipinas? Makalipas ang mahabang panahon, sya na ba ang talagang makakapagbangon sa bayan natin? Sa isip ko, sa wakas, makikita na ng henerasyon ko ang matagal na naming minimithi.
