Shadow'm seeing 6 films this sidereal year, enclosing:

Streetcar line'NATO Cordiale(The NATO Flushed), starring Daniel Auteuil and Accepted Clavier.

Fifteen'ivresse du pouvoir (Dry wit in connection with Qualification), starring Isabelle Huppert and directed in agreement with Claude Chabrol.

Le petit adjutant(The Dewy Warrant officer), starring Nathalie Baye.

Don't be this guy!

Je me baladait dans une galerie marchande lorsque je vois les panneaux de dons du sang, je me suis vite rendu à l'endroit voulu pour compléter un questionnaire, ensuite rencontrer un médecin pour contrôler si je pouvait donner ("C'est bon", ouff) puis comme c'était la première fois j'ai du tester mon taux de globules, et c'est partit, je vais vers les infirmières, je m'allonge et c'est partit...

Ca ne dure que quelque minutes (entre 3 et 15 min), c'est pas long hein? Alors pourquoi si peu de personnes le font? "J'ai pas le temps!", "Ca fait mal", "j'men fou"...

Oui mais imagnez qu'un jour vous en ayez besoin?

Un don du sang sert comme utilisation thérapeutique pour traiter les personnes malades (cancers, leucémie..), les victimes d'accident ou qui vont subir une lourde intervention chirurgicale. Mais votre don peut servir également à la recherche s' il présente des spécificité particulières ou s'il ne peut être transfusé.

C'est rien, ça prend peu de temps, et ça fait pas mal,  Alors ALLEZ-Y!

The damage was so severe that police at first thought the driver was a man.

A 60-year-old woman was involved.

Medyo nagsawa na po ako manood ng reality show ngayon. Nagiging normal na po kasi ang trend na ito sa TV. Hinihintay ko na nga lang kung anong klaseng gimmick ang gagawin sa Pinoy version ng Fear Factor at Survivor.

Kayo po ba ate Jevs, anong paborito at mairerekomenda ninyong reality show?

Henri Caplong

Dear Henri,

Alam mo hindi mo naman na kailangan ang manood ng TV para makakita ng reality show. Maglakad ka man o sumakay sa mga ordinary bus o pampasaherong jeep, pihadong may makikita ka na interesante.

Actually, sa sobrang reality niya pati ikaw mismo nakaranas na rin ng mga ito. narito ang top 10 reality experiences na makikita mo sa real world reality.. ‘di kailangan ng tv, tipid sa kuryente, at walang entrance.

• Natamaan ka na ba ni Lola o ni Ale? Iyong payong na mahaba tas isinukbit niya sa kili-kili niya. Pusa kawawa ang mga malalaki ang hinaharap, asintado.

• Nabingi ka na ba sa busina ng mga jeep at bus? Iyong kahit halos nagpa-park na sila kalsada sa pagsasakay ng mga pasahero eh panay pa rin ang busina ng mga drivers. Tas yong kundoktor niya eh romoronda na sa kalsadahan at nangangako na maluwag pa ang bus pero sardines na sa loob ng bus. Nakakabingi, taas ng decibels.

• Naulanan ka na ba? Hindi ng ulan ha, iyong singa at dura. Hay ang mga durara proud ng pamana nila sa sangkatauhan.

• Kahit tumatawid ka sa pedestrian crossing (o sige sa mga taga- Maynila, Ped Xing), may humaharorot pa ring sasakyan na dadaan sa harapan mo.

• Ang ganda ng lakad mo at pormang-porma ka then suddenly iyong nag-lilinis ng kanal natilamsikan ang khaki mong pants o nabuhusan ka ng kumukulong sabaw sa carinderia or yong malala, ihi sa arenola mula sa bintana ni lola. Wahhhhh

• Ikaw na babae, tumayo ka sa waiting shed ni kong sining politico then napansin mo parang mapanghe. Iyon pala may mama sa likod ng pader nagdidilig ng damo, pati bulate tinitigok.

• Gutom na gutom ka galing trabaho o school, so bili ka naman ng makakain. Nginat-ngat mo na iyong food ng biglang lumapit sa iyo ang isang gusgusing mama o babae. Kukulitin ka nila hanggang sa sukat na fooddup (food holdup) na iyon.

• Diretso ang iyong tingin dahil dadaan ka sa mataong lugar o di kaya sa pa-cute ka pa sa istambayan ng crush mo. Yakang-yaka na sana ang lahat ng suddenly na-feel mo may something sa iyong nilakaran. Sorry Dong o Day hindi putik ang inapakan mo ebs ng aso.

• true story ititch! Nag-aabang ang pinsan ko ng masasakyan sa Cubao ng biglang may sumampal sa kanya. Siempre, di papayag ‘yon gusto rumesbak. Kaso sinabihan siya ng katabi niya na baliw yong sumampal sa kanya. Pag tingin niya sa baliw, nanampal pa ng iba. Fair naman pala.

• weh to pa. iyong dinadaanan ko sa school , may nakaparada doon na na kariton. Tirahan iyon ng isang mag-asawa na pagala-gala at palimos-limos doon. Hindi naman sila nang-aano, ni hindi nga ako hiningan non kahit kailan. Ang siste, mataas pa ang araw nagdyog-dyogan na ang mga hitad at payong or kumot lang ang takip. Hindi ko alam kung matagal ba ang interval ng pagdaan ko roon pero ‘pag pinapansin ko sila parang padami ng padami ang bata sa kariton nila. Oh di ba taob ang bahay ni kuya sa kariton ni manong.

Siya nood na,

Ate Jevz

That man was my boss. And hearing about the accident is not exactly what you want to hear right when you show up for work in the morning. Sadly, this entire day has had a surreal quality to it. Like at any moment I am waiting for someone to say, "Just kidding guys. The boss will be back after the holiday." But with each minute that passes by, that window of opportunity is closing, and was finally shut when I saw the video of the crash on the computer. And when I read the news article. And when I spoke to my bosses wife.

As I write this, he is still in critical condition. I am praying fervently that he pulls through with his trooper spirit and starts his long road to recovery. But each hour that passes without any news finds my nerves just a little more on edge.

If you are interested in reading the full story, it can be found here.

This is what's left of the tree he hit.

This is the accident scene after it happened.

The car.

It really is a miracle that he is still alive, and only time will tell how the accident really happened. I can only pray that he pulls out of this well, and quickly. He is a wonderful man to work for, and it is such a tragedy that this happened right before the holiday.

Let me start off by saying I am an excellent driver…I really am…NONE and I mean NONE of my accidents were my fault…and NONE of any future accidents I’ll ever be in will be my fault :D

So, I leave the house at an hour I don’t normally leave, I take a route I don’t normally take, I make a turn that I don’t normally have to make…I hear a loud screeching noise, I turn and out of my window i see a view very similar to this view:

Now just imagine that you see a pic of a a woman driver (with much better hair than this driver) and she is in a White Jeep Liberty approaching me very very very fast

OH BOY, THIS IS THE END…

OH BOY, THIS IS THE END…

OH BOY, THIS IS THE END…

Well…since you are reading this so you probably know it wasn’t the end…but OH MY GOD…what a headache...I could have sworn after the clash my head flipped off my head and bounced off the window several times, then the roof and dashboard before clicking back on my neck.

OUCH WHAT A HEADACHE I HAVE NOW

[3 days later]

Now that my neurons had time to reconnect to my brain I have thunk out the following:

1. Why aren’t there any airbags on the side window…or better yet why aren’t car windows made of soft wobbly things so one would actually enjoy getting their head banged on…maybe something ticklish

2. Why can’t they make cars that detects when it is about to hit another car and then some kind of mechanism comes into play so it leap frogs over it. Aaahhh see if her car had leaped frogged over mine I would be sitting here grinning at the memory instead of going, ‘OUUUUUCCCCH MY HEAD, MOMMY DO SOMETHING” every 10 minutes.

3. So since the axiom goes: ‘Thou shall make a humongous life changing decision after a new death experience’ from now on I’m gonna drive a lot faster…seriously in both my accidents since coming to Kuwait my car was motionless…it’s other people that keep hitting me…so I saw the light…I’m enlightened… the message is that I gotta speed up!!

4. I’m gonna quit trying to lose weight…I mean if I were lighter I would have bounced around a lot more…guess that’s another advantage of being slightly over weight :D

BTW, I would like to thank all those wonderful people who came to my aid right after the accident. I guess the care I sensed in the voice of these complete strangers spiritually helped to ease the pain. So thank you :D

Oh, not in a good way. The guy in front of me stopped at the red light. I stopped at the red light. The woman driving the minivan behind me didn't stop. The next thing I knew I was crashing into the black sportscar in front of me.

Not the kind of threesome one wants to write about. Hope your day is going better for you.

In hellfire is a continuate so that the low-down news item.

In data de 27 martie 2008, o studenta a fost ucisa pe trecerea de pietoni de o doamnă care conducea un autoturism de lux, chiar sub ochii poliţiştilor care vegheau trecerea coloanei oficiale a premierului Tăriceanu. Studenta era inca in viata cand a ajuns salvarea; dar din pacate, medicii nu au putut sa o salveze. Unii au acuzat in acel moment sosirea tardiva a ambulantei, dar tinand cont de conditiile de trafic din Bucuresti, s-ar putea spune ca a sosit relativ repede (~20minute)!

Problema actuala e alta. De trei luni de zile, dosarul in care e inculpata ucigasa studentei e pasat de la Procuratura la Politie si indarat. Politia a actionat foarte ciudat in acest caz: au trimis citaţie pe adresa firmei unde lucrează. Poliţiştii au vrut să facă o expertiză tehnică a maşinii înaintea începerii urmăririi penale. Nepricepere crasă, ar spune unii, Parchetul însă a anulat expertiza explicând că, dacă ar fi fost făcută acum, ulterior în instanţă avocaţii doamnei Ştraus (ucigasa) ar fi putut cere anularea întregului dosar.

Pot sa pun pariu ca acest dosar va mai fi taraganat o perioada de timp; pana cand va iesi complet din atentia opiniei publice; dupa care se va da, cel mai probabil, o condamnare cu suspendare. Dar fireste, daca descarci melodii ilegale de pe net sau daca furi o paine dintr-un magazin - sigur o sa ajungi in puscarie!!! Legea e facuta pentru cei fraieri si fara bani!

Teen drivers need to be able to focus their FULL attention to the road - especially since they don’t have as much experience driving as you do.

Understandably you’ll argue that you can do both but in actuality you can’t. There are too many disruptions to our driving as it is, billboards, pedestrians, traffic tie ups etc. Being on the cell phone increases the chance of an accident just as putting your makeup on as you are driving is.

Please remember to use your cell phone wisely. Teach the new driver in your home to not use the cell phone while driving. The instant your attention is distracted from the road the higher the chances for an accident.

And guess what your passenger on the cell phone is also a distraction. How many times have you found yourself listening to their conversation while driving and then commenting and getting distracted.

I know many people who just plum forget that they have directionals. Well guess what you don’t pay extra for them. It’s just part of the vehicle and the best thing to do IS USE THEM! Use them when you turn out of your driveway. Let the world know you are going to change lanes! Don’t be afraid to use them. The driver behind you will thank you. Use them in a parking lot. Don’t just turn after using them give it a second to make sure the area is clear before turning.

This may all sound foolish but really it is very serious. We’ve all been on the road and gotten mad when the driver that just cut in front of you didn’t use their directional. Well remember them when you don’t use yours.

The officer at the accident you have because you didn’t use your directional isn’t going to take “They should have known I was turning” as a good excuse.

School
I finished my ENC2210 (Technical Communications) class last week. My final paper received a B. Not my greatest work, but I finished the class overall with a high A. I'm not taking anymore classes until the Fall, which should give me some spare time to learn some PHP programming.

I went ahead and sold back my textbook today so I'm $32.25 richer. I also saw all of my old friends/co-workers while there (I worked at the campus bookstore for many months). It's nice to see everyone again.

I'm not sure how many classes I will be taking in the Fall. At least two, I assume. I'd like to continue working and save up money, but I also need to finish my classes and get my degree in a (relatively) timely fashion. The more classes I take, the less I can work, so it's a balancing act.

Car Accident
Tiffany and I were in a car accident the other day. We decided to go eat out and then hit up the mall. For once I didn't feel like driving, so she took her car and drove. After finishing lunch, we drove out to an intersection and stopped at the red light. A Jeep Liberty was making a left turn towards us, and she didn't yield properly. A big Dodge Ram slammed into her, and consequently pushed the Jeep into Tiffany's Honda Accord. The whole front end is damaged. No one seemed to be severely hurt, although the Jeep lady definitely had some bruises. Now we're just hoping the insurance company doesn't decide to "total" the Accord. We'd rather have it fixed.

It was just a normal and sunny Sunday afternoon. These things come out of nowhere!

Video Gaming
I've been playing a lot of Bully and Rock Band with Tiffany lately. We're starting to get pretty good. In Rock Band we have moved off of Easy and now can play most songs in Medium difficulty. I'm a drummer and she plays guitar. Man, I freakin' love hitting things with sticks in an orderly fashion! Anyway, I am hoping I can eventually play most songs on Hard, but I don't think I'm dedicated enough to be an Expert player.

And as always, I have been playing a bit of Halo 3. Our clan is having an internal 2v2 tournament. My partner Hazy and I have made it to the second round and if we're victorious we will be in the finals.

Work
The web developing is going pretty good. My managers gave us a few extra days off for the holiday which was a nice unexpected surprise. We had some deadlines on July 1st and I've mostly hit them. There are some things on one project that took me longer than expected. I've also been having a little trouble focusing lately at work. I think I just need more sleep and a better breakfast in the morning. Even though I have the longer holiday, I still plan on doing some work from home to get a little ahead.

Have a great July 4th!
