Ok, now I am feeling the evolution of the lab. This is now generation TWO of the Tanaka group since I arrived in September of last year.
Mark, Fabio, Pen, Checks, Ali and Shamin.
I am no longer the newest member of the lab. Wow. How fast time is.

From the same people who brought BlogParteeh!, they have a new activity up on their sleeves. Presenting the Philippine Blog Awards 2007.
The Philippine Blog Awards aims to recognize notable Filipino-owned blogs in their respective niches — a venue to showcase notable blogs with quality content that engages readers from around the globe.
You guys could still nominate your favorite blog (or even your own!). Head over to the nomination page and just fill up the form and wait for confirmation. Nominations ends today (Feb 28) and awarding will be on Mar 31 with no final venue yet. So sorry for the late announcement, I was pretty much swamped with work the last few weeks and didn’t bother to post an entry here. Anyhow, I hope I can still contribute my fair share in the country’s blogosphere by this entry and a small ad in the right.
And before I forget, the BlogParteeh! where I won the iPod was featured in Manila Bulletin last Feb5. I wonder who still has a copy of that newspaper? I was among the faces printed in that newspaper. I just learned this yesterday from Noemi Lardizabal-Dado and thanks to her scan, I have a digital file of that page. It will be cool though if I can have a copy of that newspaper.
=======
Update:
Nominations are extended until Mar 4. This will be the deadliest deadline.

Foetus
Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax. This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41% of the 1,000 people who took part in the survey. More than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position.Log
Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.Yearner
People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.Soldier
Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don’t like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.
Freefall
Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don’t like criticism, or extreme situations.Starfish
Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don’t like to be the centre of attention.

I always wanted to know why I sleep with my both hands raised above my head. Pen and I have several theories on that, one of which is that this enables my blood to circulate easily. Hehe. I consciously figure out what sleeping position I am in while sleeping. I know for sure that I start off with the Starfish position and ends up with the Foetus (or Fetus) position throughout the night.
Okay, so with the article, I conclude that I am:
Does my sleeping position really define me? All I want after all is my comfort while sleeping. I may not agree entirely on the list above but somehow it scored some points. People who know me can attest to that.
How about you? What’s your sleeping position?

Since I have this recorder with me most of the time, and often record my thinking while walking or shopping, I took up this weird habit of recording myself singing as well, especially in those idle moments that I’m just sitting it out waiting for something to happen. I know not all people are interested in hearing some random person bawling out some random song. Aj proposed that I just send the url to anyone who asks for it, but well, I’m just too damn lazy. So after much thought (about 10 seconds) I decided to just go for it and post the url anyway. I really don’t care!

I need money for a cheap guitar. I really really want to brush up on my “skills”, and maybe record some stuff with accompaniment! =P I hung out with some Pinoys studying in USyd (Uni of Sydney) last week and they were jamming with some OPM songs and it made me miss those “good times” Anthony was talking about!
Feeling music artist! Hehe. I forgot how fun it is to sing just for the heck of it =)

I was reading an entry from Yuga’s blog about the rush of traffic in their PinoyTravelBlog site. May matching bar graph pa yung entry ni Abe and you can see the surge of the traffic not only for a single day but continuing up until today.
Since he got curious and thought of finding where those hits came from, he searched for his referral. And lo and behold, he found out that the referral is from a certain kooki from multiply. Hmmm. Intriguing you say. A lot of people clicking the PinoyTravelBlog link from kooki’s multiply site.
Eh sino nga ba si kooki? Anak lang naman ni Megastar. ü

Hey, it must be one of those TGIF times eh? Well, I hope everyone has a blast this weekend. I have mine planned out a bit, but it doesn’t involve any kind of social thing. Waaah, I’m turning into a hermit! Hehe. Nah, I just have tons to get ready for since I’m nearing a half year here. This afternoon, while waiting for a “thing” to happen I was so bored and cooked up this hummie version of Frou Frou‘s tune, Breathe In. It’s a cappella, so don’t expect it to be upbeat or anything like that.

Happy weekend everyone!

Apart from the design itself, i really like my Superman tshirt. It fits me comfortably and the fabric is really good. Now that I have my tshirt with me for close to 5 years I think, it now suffers from fading of color and design degradation (the S insignia is a little bit crackled now).
So, just to give my favorite shirt a fitting honor (not that I will dispose of it anytime soon!), I present this post to you.
I am Superman and I have a big chest! I have a little tarsier with me and my mojo’s can kick your ass.

Ok, hodge-podge thoughts ahead, expect no structure whatsoever. This is me spilling out thoughts that have been wallowing in my brain for the past weeks or so. Thought I’d record them here to get it done and over with =) Don’t say I didn’t warn you about this mental diarrhea.

Hehe, kala seryoso title. (Ala-soap opera.) Mga koleksyon lang ‘to ng funny anecdotes nareceive ko sa email. Share ko lang. =)
================================
Sa PGH, may tinatawag na Central Block. Nandoon ang Radiology Department kung saan ginagawa ang mga X-rays, Ultrasound, CT Scan at Radiotherapy. Dito ko naobserbahan ang evolution ng mga pinoy medical terms. May mga pasyente o bantay na aking nasasalubong, ang madalas magtanong ng direksyon.
Mga Versions ng CT Scan: (Ganon na rin yon, no!)
1. “Dok saan po ba ang Siete Scan?”
2. “Doc saan po ba magpapa-CT Skull”
3. “Doc saan po ba CT Scalp”
4. “Doc saan po ang CT Scam?”
Madalas akong mapagtanungan ng direction papunta sa Cobalt Room. “Doc saan po ba ang Cobal” Yes, laging walang T, marami na ang ginagamit na term ay Cobal. Saan napunta ang “T”. Marami din kasing nagtatanong, “Doc, saan po ba ang papuntang X-Tray?”
Conclusion: Ang “T” ng Cobalt, ay napunta sa X-Tray.
