Random Awesomeness of the Times

For some of you who may know me personally, I'm really a random person. I'll always have tidbits to share about my life, sometimes you'll just go "AH OK, and so? Your point is?" Some people find it really annoying but sometimes life is really just so random. This blogpost is dedicated to celebrating that fact! DON'T BE HATIN'.
I'm glad this BA 180.1 blog is helping me bring out the randomness and awesomeness of life. Ha ha. (Thanks Sir Pabellon, your idea's awesome!)  

Technology, what do I do without you!



Random Awesomeness #1: Of Manny Villar's 'Naging Mahirap' jingle...  


Really Manny? You?


Awzum song... apparently, "Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura" is not the title of this political jingle because "Naging Mahirap" is. Ha ha. For some outlandish reason (which I am still thoroughly trying to figure out btw), that political jingle  is fast tracking its way to my mental list of top LSS songs. It was around December-ish when I first heard that song not from tv or radio but from my 8 year old brother, Marco. I gotta hand it to whoever made this song. Using children to bring the words to life is pure genius. I mean, I wouldn't think I'd get hooked to it as much without my brother's incessant chanting. This might very well be the Philippine's national anthem for the next 6 years? Who knows right. Btw, I am not trying to endorse Manny V. :) Just sing along with me!

Oh and let's all vote wisely and get to know our presidentiables! We better not screw up the May 2010 elections. We have 2 months to decide and make our votes count. 


Any thoughts on the e-voting the government will be implementing this May 2010? It sounds really scary if you ask me... all the linking of data "in the air." Who knows where our votes go to before they reach the main counter at Comelec? Geez Philippine politics, geez.



Random Awesomeness #2: Monopoly Revolution


You spin my head right round, right round

The quadrilateral is now round. It's amazing at how Hasbro decided to revamp the packaging. I wonder how it'll influence the game outcome. For one, there's no more cash involved. Everything's programed into a calculator which credits for properties and whatnot. That also probably means gone are the long arguments of who gets to be banker! Rawr, SNORE. Design wise, it's amazing and new. I'm just not sure if this could bring out the real enjoyment we get from playing the game the way we're accustomed to. 


Random Awesomeness #3: Adhoc: Eternity in an Hour

 
The Midnight Special aka Eternity in an Hour

Watch the video and be inspired. WAIT,  OK so Blogger won't allow me to post videos cause the video icon is not in the control panel. FAIL. Bloggers please help me figure this one out. Here's the wonderful link instead: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150123607295241

UP JMA Ad hoc team, WILD. I can't really tell how many people went. This one's gotta be the best AdHoc ever. 

Random Awesomeness #4: Feliz CumpleaƱos Michelle.Lean.Nella.Viana!

My next stop after Ad Hoc! I thought I'd be able to enter a state of sobriety come this joint party 'cause Lean called to tell me all the alcohol's gone. NOT. Next thing I knew, I was already up against Trisha Lee in chugging down Hennessy Cognac straight off the bottle. ALAT. Oh and... it's really so heartwarming to see all my HS friends!!! SUPER GVs guys!!! Michelle, I sincerely hope your house is back to its normal and clean state. 


Overall, I think this weekend has been one of the best yet! BIG SMILES AND SNAPS.
