Apologies for the trackback. The whole of my entry has been redirected in your comment box, now it looks like a SPAM, hahaha. I hope all is well with you, Dement. I've read in your previous posts that you're going on a holiday? Take it easy and keep on SMILING! ;)

2006-05-14T21:09:46.497+02:00

Silly me, I still don’t get what ONION router is. Is that a networking device for “wireless” to obtain a LAN (local area network) typically using a private (or proxy) IP or something? EZArchive or the other storage site is for my online purposes really, not that I want a huge music files, is just that I want to share few free mp3 on my posts. Thanks c. trinity I know you’re pro at this.

2006-05-14T17:54:02.660+02:00

Hahaha Marni, it was an "extended" vacation, shit happens! I suppose many of you was surprised with my sudden disappearance - cuz I normally don't just vanished. But ugh, I'm back, that's what matters. Thank you for supporting my blog. And guess what, I've found the nailcutter you've been looking for.

2006-05-14T10:51:02.847+02:00

I really haven't tried the site yet. Whatever it takes, I'd try it - as long as it won't hurt my PC it's ok. What's Tor with Privoxy?

2006-05-13T18:39:28.346+02:00

Hi trinity, you’ll be the first person to know if that happens. And yeah I have a new downloading/sharing music, I got it from “eZArchive site. Thanks for welcoming me back.

2006-05-12T17:46:48.634+02:00

I read your email just now and am sure Soledad read it as well. May tampo ata sa akin since I didn’t get to see her family - *wala kasing dried fish na dala from Bicol*. And I also oveheard from a friend that Mrs Wack-er is arriving next week on tuesday (not on a holiday dahil her Papa is undergoing a major operation, nakakalungkot). Pero it’s gonna be a Big reunion. I’ll try to catch on the schedule. Yaman talaga, at Shangri-La - good choice pero sana Four Seasons Hotel naman. Central is so Manhattan na - VISIT the Tifanny’s dahil hindi ka pa-aawat sa sobrang HANEP ng shop or shop around IFC, best in town right now. Kasama pa si Papa G, mapapainom na naman ng San Mig neto. Ok lang kahit walang pasalubong makita ko lang ang kilay mo ayos na yan!

2006-05-12T17:46:14.763+02:00

Hindi masakit yun, malamig lang at madulas. Aba bawiin pa, bahala ka next time babatuhin na kita ng isang kilong purefoods kasama si Ate Shawee mo! Huy mag long distance ka sa Mama mo aba eh Mother’s Day na baga - greet mo naman. How’s the flight?

2006-05-12T17:45:27.066+02:00

ISAY M? So soon? I’ll be on a night shift.. where are you staying? Who’s coming with you? I didn’t get an email from you…. wait, I haven’t checked my email in a while baka andun ang detalyes. Sa wakas, may mag ti-treat sa AKIN sa Dan Ryan’s. Kasama ba si Papa G? I haven’t seen the Casillanos pa, nanganak na si Soledad, pero di ko pa nakikita. Tumawag last week, the family went shopping ata at nag Disneyland. Lumaki daw ang… *toink* dahil nag papa-dede pati si Bobbit naki-dede na rin. hehehe. Damihan ang perang dadalhin para mahakot ang buong HK at mai-treat mo naman ako kahit sa Thai Basil - bankrupt kasi ako ngayon, hirap ng buhay. Asus…. Can’t wait…

Thanks Princess D, I know it’s kinda like obligatory to write nowadays pero it’s ok naman pala if you don’t write on a regular basis kaso nga lang you’ll end up writing longer, pag masyadong elaborated ang post it becomes boring na. I think I’m just broke - that’s what happened. ;) Happy Mother’s Day (intended to all the women out there, kahit wala pa kayong baby). Miss you more.

That would be nice since sobra

2006-05-12T17:44:02.379+02:00

That would be nice since sobrang summer na dito, I need extra fresheners like ice latte na may kasamang yosi, bigyan mo ako nyan. Dali. Sensya na, when I write, I really DO write kahit walang sense, oks lang kesa naman wala, you people are pestering me to write anyways, hehehe. BTW, where’s your new wordpress site? “Lab Ko ‘to”…. Happy Mother’s Day!

*Throws a bag of rubbish bag full of shits to the one who is singing that song*. LMAO. We all do need that, so you know who really misses you big time and who's not. And you really did miss me big time. *throws ice cubes to Yuris face* Init na ng panahon pinag papawisan ka na. Nice to hear from you again, Y.

Haha pretty much like making up entry huh? I didn't summarize it really. I do love explaining and elaborating post. It's just me, I think. And right, Happy Mothers Day too, this Sunday. I'm missing my mother (Momma's boy). Happy weekend too Asha, I hope I can write something about Mothers.

Hey Charles, good to hear from

2006-05-12T07:02:28.422+02:00

Hey Charles, good to hear from you. I know I know bad habit really. Infact I left a comment in 2 of your blogs and I kept getting the "want to navigate away from this page" after I hit send to the comment. I don't know if comments are being held for moderation but seems to me it didn't went thru. There was no prompt message that says "your comment is waiting for moderation".

2006-04-27T14:24:58.228+02:00

And sometimes kids these days uses them for games, mp3 mobile & a camera. Bluetooth plays a great deal over this. It’s easy to send files as well. I think I do that all the time. hahaha.

2006-04-27T10:07:42.821+02:00

I find it quite surprising that many more household prefer mobile phones than landlines. HK is going WIRELESS from internet and cable services. If you visit every Cafe shop, they are equipped with wireless services. And now the 3G service for mobile is going crazy around here.

Exactly. For kids, it’s a fun

2006-04-26T14:12:31.366+02:00

Exactly. For kids, it’s a fun thing. HK starting to create a TEXT-Whore city, not that Calling someone via mobile is expensive (I think for me it is) but it’s a free service for a subscriber. Most people can’t live without a mobile phone anymore (esp HK) and by text messaging, it helps them communicate with friends or families without being caught in the workplace. We had a big argument at work about someone using a mobile and now Ive teached them to use the text msg, turn off the ringing and enable the vibrating signal tone. If you are in the Philippines. Text messaging is a way of communicating through different unknown subscriber, a set of news to those who can’t own a TV (I dont know why other people think cellphone is cheap, infact they are expensive). At the same time, enjoying the excitement of sending a simple “hello” thru text can make you smile when u wake up. (For me its annoying when it rings).

2006-04-26T13:44:49.320+02:00

We can share a bit of those net-words. I read them most of the time in few music forums. I think technology influences us to say the word shortcuts. Like if you send a text messages you WUD RITE LKS THS.

I can relate. I enjoy the jazz

2006-04-26T13:29:16.022+02:00

I can relate. I enjoy the jazz once in a while. I grew up with the noise of the trumphet at home. My dad would normally do his instruments cleaning, a loud tooot to practice his strength in blowing the trumphet. That’s when I started to listen to Jazz and Orchestra. I learned from him that listening to Standard music like Matt Munro will never fades away and you can keep them longer in a CD rack. Maybe when the time comes, I’d go back to the habit of listening to classic. HMV music shop is quite a music library and there are thousand to choose from. At the moment, I stick on some emo music and few POP Christian songs. If I’m on the road, I’d stick with the R&B’s. “Cool” - kids would say these days.

2006-04-26T10:43:37.185+02:00

Thanks for the iPod. I don’t really need to bring a pack of CD in my bag and open it in the public to change to another CD. ;) I don’t know it’s just addicting to download music and play the songs you enjoy over and over again. With too many free radio streams online, sometimes it’s hard to stick to just one source of music listening. When I’m blogging, there’s a pleasure of turning the “Easy Listening”. What’s your kind of music, Jack?

I do enjoy the Pandora, it’s b

2006-04-26T10:41:26.334+02:00

I do enjoy the Pandora, it’s been like my own radio everytime I’m online. Can I join in your pot session? I tried to do the cold turkey too but it’s difficult. I think I’m back again. Give me some patches.

Woh, Ryan is always on the Top of the list including yourself Jack. Hi c, I think I’ve added you and I’ve been clicking on your techie links.

2006-04-24T09:39:49.090+02:00

Hi c, very much thank you. I’m using Limewire Pro for my mp3 downloads (illegal, I know) but I use them for my own pleasure and other people steal them too (file sharing) but that’s about it, I don’t sell my downloads so the IRRA won’t prosecute me. But seriously, this downloader is scary. I heard that HK is tracking the illegal sharing of music in every household but I’m glad, I’m not a kid anymore, they won’t catch me

2006-04-22T11:05:02.997+02:00

A Kim Cattrall post? How so, Jack? Now I have 30 plus Spam caught by Akismet. They changed, now they attack me on DIET pills and other healthy medicines. I think they found another source from old post called Obligation and Withdrawals.

Funny when I check on my stats

2006-04-20T09:46:32.301+02:00

Funny when I check on my stats, searchers who ended up in my blog happens to find SEX related stuff - it must be the post that gave them the impression. Added to that, Akismet caught around 17 Spams all because of the Penis Enlargement & Red Lights posts.

I think the roads are getting

2006-04-19T10:52:19.577+02:00

I think the roads are getting smaller around here, well obviously in HK Islands. If you travel between Central to North Point, the traffic jam is overflowing. Or reckless drivers running on a red light? It goes with the taxis too. Well I think HK is pretty law-and-order kind of place. Or is it Singapore?

On my average review of the sa

2006-04-18T17:18:29.034+02:00

On my average review of the safety here, I find it shocking that the mini-bus has the highest percentage of all fatal accidents. The Gov’t respond to these was very serious, minibuses are now equipped with seatbelts. However, passengers ignore these all the time. I don’t think people are disoriented that these seatbelts are very useful. I haven’t seen one really buckle up their seat when I travel at this buses. While I do that all the time, the person sitting next to me would think I’m crazy. The thing I’m most afraid of in everyday’s life is one of the most common, are car accidents - no matter where you are in the world.

Sometimes I break the rules, m

2006-04-18T15:09:39.152+02:00

Sometimes I break the rules, maybe I am just being stubborn. Maybe when I know how to drive myself, I’d be worried.

The seat belt rule is strict.

2006-04-18T09:27:15.491+02:00

The seat belt rule is strict. The drivers would scream back at you if you missed putting them on even if you are at the back of the seat. Safety first.

I think it’s still the Datsun,

2006-04-17T08:01:16.703+02:00

I think it’s still the Datsun, not sure as I really never pay attention - but it’s a big taxi for 5 pax. Passengers back and front uses safety belts now and there’s a huge fine if you don’t wear them of course. Yup you can handle the cab pretty easy once you’re here.

Oh taxis, you can never missed

2006-04-17T07:28:32.151+02:00

Oh taxis, you can never missed an important meetings. Sometimes they are nice. some are bad and I think those were the drivers on your time, they’re getting old but don’t argue with them or you’ll get a FOO GAI reply. hahahaha.

Exactly. That fishing area tur

2006-04-16T09:09:52.836+02:00

Exactly. That fishing area turned into a tiny city. They have a huge department store there and nice houses too. For expats I may say. You take the bus or taxi (but don’t ever use taxi by any means) , the only way to get there. I think they still kept that old temple nearby - it’s a place to pray for the Goddes of the Sea and whatever you call them. There are variety of restaurant with sea views, alfresco ambience. Amazing place to visit really.

It’s fun when you go out with

2006-04-16T08:31:45.045+02:00

It’s fun when you go out with group of friends - esp the first timers. Those stalls steals your ‘night’ away. One pleasant place to visit is the Stanley Market, take note, tourist do come for a beer on a sea-view area. It’s the expat’s hang out away from ‘from the city in the city’ itself. You should go there too.

I’m no Kowloon fan. I mean, I

2006-04-16T08:15:20.211+02:00

I’m no Kowloon fan. I mean, I seldom go there by myself. Sometimes I save some pennies for the ferry and watch the beautiful backdraft of HK Islands. It is one of those that I truly enjoy being here. Once I get there, I walk just nearby and end up at Mong Kok. Remember the night market where you can buy fakey goodies on the street? It’s still one of the highlites for tourist, infact they are not cheap anymore but still fun to be around those area - too many people tho’

There’s one Chinese Restaurant

2006-04-16T07:41:15.282+02:00

There’s one Chinese Restaurant in Happy Valley near the horseracing field where they cook asuper delicious fried noodles. I forgot the name but it’s pretty much popular for tourists and locals alike. At work, I feast on them for breakfast

And don't forget the food. HK

2006-04-13T09:44:52.345+02:00

And don't forget the food. HK is crowned winner for culinary. Remember this city is growing its reputation as the Culinary Capital of Asia. It's probably why I love the chinese fried noodles.

2006-04-12T13:01:58.545+02:00

His works looks amazing. At least the pleasure goes along together. He should enjoy it here, esp for the first time visitor.

Oh wow he's a photographer, pa

2006-04-12T06:36:41.181+02:00

Oh wow he's a photographer, part-japanese & visiting HK. Is he coming on a pleasure trip or to attend some galleries & photography conference?

Alright I’ll stick with the su

2006-04-11T20:53:14.320+02:00

Alright I’ll stick with the subway unless you’re not travelling during the rush hours. But it’s the perfect way to go around HK and you are able to use your cellphones (however, hidden charges for tunnels & subways are a bit expensive). Overall, it’s the safest, immaculately clean and convenient.

And guess what, I have earned

2006-04-11T09:19:35.991+02:00

And guess what, I have earned 12 spams lately because of this POST. I think I made a link of that Penis Enlargement site and the same spam comments keeps coming in. Ok, I’m deleting those links above.

Few days ago these mini-bus dr

2006-04-11T09:06:47.580+02:00

Few days ago these mini-bus drivers went on strike about holiday compensation & salaries. Some of these drivers are stubborn and they just need to change that. But one of the best in Hong Kong is the wide choice of public transport, it amuses me (I think the best in the world). Now added to that, minibuses operators are now complaining about the growth of non-franchised bus services, these are shuttle buses that pick-ups passenger from a housing estate stations to shopping centres and they are taking business away from these minibuses or the taxis in that case. Seoul are worse? How about the Philippines jeepney drivers? I would say they are everywhere. I think the government impose a rule on speed standards and these fast-driving drivers are now being monitored by many complaining passengers.

I think it's the 16 seater min

2006-04-10T22:23:20.327+02:00

I think it's the 16 seater mini-bus also known as maxicabs with reckless drivers? I usually utilize these bus when I work on my early shifts to go to work and it scares the hell off me when the driver hit narrow roads. You know that right? ;)

hahaha I know where that is. B

2006-04-09T17:01:41.485+02:00

hahaha I know where that is. But hey diba kasali yung sa RECTO for RED ZONE district ng Manila? I think it's scattered around.... but where can you find the decent one? Those days when my friends studying in Manila, overheard the most popular disco in PINAS, was it Eutopia? No. I forgot the name, tambayan daw nina Ruffa nun? Ok, Ruffa? As in Guiterrez? Bektas whatever? Dun sya napunta. Bugok ako sa Mla in terms of "hang-the-night-outs".

I live near The Hopewell Centr

2006-04-09T16:51:04.206+02:00

I live near The Hopewell Centre, (the one with the revolving resto) probably you were still here when this building used to be first tallest bldg in HK before China Bank Tower. MTR is the coolest transport system around here, so convenient to everything even if the airport is already miles away from the City. I think the next MTR project is going to be the Sheung Wan-Kennedy Town lanes, not sure but who knows? Don’t know where Homatin is, Tsuen Wan train lane maybe?

Burgos St? Iba yung sa Malate?

2006-04-09T11:50:58.521+02:00

Burgos St? Iba yung sa Malate? hahaha when I think of girlies bars in Mla that's what comes in mind. Lakwatsa in Manila around these kind of spots, I'd be totally needing local bodyguards eh wala akong alam sa Manila except for MEGAMALLS, RUSTANS and QUIAPO Church (dont know why I find it intriguing to visit and pray there).

Man, that was pretty long time

2006-04-09T11:19:03.654+02:00

Man, that was pretty long time ago. I think the MTR was built in 1979 four years prior to completion. Hahaha sounds like I made a research on this. I think they launched these underground trains in Kowloon area then a year later, they created the crossing harbour tunnel to HK Island. Amazing isn't it? I will always love the TRAMCARS. During my FOB days, I travel between Central to Quarry Bay, where my family used to live, for more than 10 yrs. Since they're no longer here, I moved to Wanchai and it's only 5mins walk to my office so I rarely use these trams now.

I think I’m naive, people have

2006-04-08T19:54:33.933+02:00

I think I’m naive, people have been asking me the same question like “is it no longer good to live there?” It will always be an issue to those people who left HK before/after 1997. It literally hasn’t ‘changed’ around here - nothing strange at all. Oh wait, yeah we have now Disneyland, the new Airport, new ID system, new BIG buildings like the IFC and the Four Seasons hotel, new MTR connecting routes. In some ways, the living here for a westerner is easier than ever, with better, more affordable housing, better transport, etc but Politically, I have no idea really but I’m sure you’re updated with the news. I’m not even a “westerner” but I kinda like it here.

Haven't been here Consuela? Dr

2006-04-08T13:42:11.066+02:00

Haven't been here Consuela? Drop by HK if you visit your hometown in Malaysia next time. I'll tour you around for free. Don't worry, I'm cheap for a bite at McDonalds. A Tag? I'll do that on my next post. I'm not good at vocabularies but will give you my share. Happy weekend!
