Updates from work

11:45 PM

Almost everyone is tuned in to online radios, listening in to the storm updates. It already started raining on my way to work, hopefully we can still go home early before the eye of the storm hits the metro. I'm currently tuned in to DZRB using RealPlayer.

Some more pics of the M4A1

Let's get it on!

The office airsoft team is about to be launched and will soon be doing combat missions by early January, as soon as the rest of the team including me completes all the gear we need. Here is a picture of my weapon of choice. M4A1 aka "Super M". Shown with some modifications, this gun definitely rocks. Unofficial name of the team: OSRP Strikers, kinda cheesy..we'll probably change it as we go along.

Whenever I get dissensitized by everything thats going on around me, bombarded by media, popculture and popular opinion. Whenever I feel I've lost my way, wilderness wanderings to places and paths I should have not taken...so far away from where I should be. I try to deeply look inside of me, I draw from deep within and take root of who I really am, holding on to my faith, holding on to what I believe...my convictions. Sometimes I do not feel as strong as I was before, and my body is aching and weary from all the battles. When my face is wet with tears and all the people I call friends have gone away and there is nobody else to listen to me. I try to listen to that still small voice inside, saying that I am not alone and that when I am weak...I can hold on to someone who's strong. Whenever my doubts and fears gets the better of me, whenever I fall down, when I don't feel loved and when loneliness sets in, grace takes hold of me and picks me so I can fight another day. Whenever I am pounded by the raging waves of the daily grind, I see the faint light of the lighthouse and I am led back to the security of the shores. There is one thing I know, that I am never alone, that I am forever held by the loving arms of grace.

Fridays and just lovin' my job

Here I am chillin at my desk, listenin to Ja Rule, my mp3 collection to keep me company, iBook by my side. I haven't finished doing the rest of my company profilling yet, well there's no hurry..its a Friday and I'm just jiviin to this weekend feel. Me, I'm just enjoying my life, my job. Man! how many people can say that? that they love their job, but its true I do. I think I have one of the bestest job in the world. I get to work with computers, software...techie stuff, I can watch YouTube whenever I want, I get calls from my clients who like what I do for them and well, I don't have to sweat it when it comes to closing a deal. Maybe it's this music, feel good, lovelife tune. A newly opened Starbucks just a few steps from my office...boy! this must be heaven. I'm surrounded by one the coolest bunch of people this side of the planet. Man, I'm blessed. Christmas is just around the corner, I think I am really going to enjoy this coming holidays, it'll be different. Company just installed a new high tech biometric scanner, hehe how cool is that! Sometimes, change can do us good, it'll open up new opportunities. Whoah! we're going home! Somethings up! see you next week.

I was listening to this song on my way to work. Beautiful, I can't stop listening to it.

Well its not far down to paradise
At least not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me

Its not far to never-never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me

Sailing takes me away
To where Ive always heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free

Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When Im sailing

All the world in a reverie
Every word is a symphony
Wont you believe me?

Sailing [takes me away] takes me away
To where Ive always heard it could be [where I wanna be]
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free

Ahhh....

Its not far back to sanity
At least its not for me
And if he wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby, believe me

Sailing takes me away
To where Ive always heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free [free!]

Sailing takes me away
To where Ive always heard it could be [Ive always heard it could be]
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Soon I will be free yeah.

Go! Go! Firefox!

Getting foxy with the Firefox 2.0! Quick! trash your old browser!

I'm a huge Firefox fan, it is the ONLY browser I use at work, its fast, simple and easy to use, plus of course it's way way better than IE in it's security features. Check out the video, created by one of it's loyal fans. I'm personally promoting Firefox, if you're still using that slow clunky old browser you're basically living in the dark ages. This is is the future of Internet browsing.

Zunemeister!

Microsofts new music player is ready to pounce upon the already crowded mp3 arena, a place wherein Apple's succesful iPod reigns supreme. Nowadays, you can see people proudly showing off their stylish white or black Videos or Nano's. Even the poser crowd is pretending to own one, with their fake shuffles and stuff. Now if you are one those people who likes to go agains the flow then the upcoming Zune will indeed be music to our ears. The question is, how finely tuned and integrated it's software will be. Let's just hope that the guy's from Seattle did their homework.

Why I like cars than girls

They're fun to be with, they're cool, they're good to look at, you look good with them, you can dress 'em up, they're not picky and they don't FREAKING CHEAT on you!!!

Currently listening to Pearl Jam's Better Man...ah, bringing back memories from the past. In the spirit of the moment, let me give you some of my favorite songs from the 90's. (not sure if all of them were from the 90's though). It was also good to be able to see the videos to this songs once again, courtesy of YouTube. In my personal opinion, the best music/songs were created during this era.

Duran Duran's Ordinary World
Tears for Fear's Break it Down Again
PM Dawn's Die Without You (a personal favorite)
Sting's Desert Rose
Seal's Kiss from A Rose

The silence envelops me as the warmth of your memories comforts me. I am lost in a world that is frozen in time. This lonelines, these lies, the pretension behind your eyes. The clock lies ticking in the background as my head turns inside upside down. Struggling to move on, grasping air with empty hands. Pretty faces pass by but all I can smell is your scent.
