To Laptopistas and gadgetistas out there

Lotsa fishies to follow

There was once a girl who dreamed of big things. A girl like no one i've ever met before. She surrounded herself with gadgets and stuff that would only appeal to boys. She started tinkering with PCs at the very tender age of 11. She started selling PC parts to her classmates at the age of 14. I've had quite a few cerebral sparrings with this girl and i can tell you confidently that she's a woman of formidable intelligence. She beats me in chess and holds her own in a debate with me.

I first met her more than a year ago when i bought a camcorder from her. It was a sony DCR-HC40, i remember very clearly... because i accidentally gave her 500 pesos more than the price we agreed on. We talked about roadmaps. ...she talked about putting up a shop, making a short film or a documentary for nat geo. I talked about world domination and raising a family empire ...but this entry isn't about me

She's a very hard working and accomplished woman who's worked her way up to the top of her field. From being a segment producer to working for top multinational firms. And now she’s about to make one of her goals a reality. I didn't think it'd be so soon. She's going to put up a shop and it's about to formally open in a few days. The shop caters to "gadgetistas". They'll sell and repair laptops, they'll also sell other gadgets. BTW I coined the name of the shop myself, thank you. (ahem royalties) If you're a laptopista or a gadgetista like her and the Jaywalker, you'd wanna save the number of her shop in your phonebook. She's earned my absolute adoration and those of many who have come to know her. She's inspired me in so many ways that i don't even know where to begin. So now, i'll be repaying her by supporting her fully in this latest exploit of hers. That's why I will be giving her free advertising here in my blog

I’m not sure if the fact that I got an invite from them says anything about the quality of my vid, but it's definitely inspired me to make more “short films”

My old PC died on me. I built a new one with an AMD X2 dual core processor, 1gb DDR2 memory, geforce 7600GT video card and a 160gb SATA hard disk drive. My old PC was a Pentium 4 prescott 2.8ghz, with the same video card and the same amount of memory. The performance difference is extremely significant. I can compile a complex 8min long video in premiere in just 3-4 mins. It took my old PC more than 30mins to compile my 2.52min horror short film.

Unwritten man codes: A discourse on the masturbation argument, merosexuality and other stuff men should know about

I’ve been a little too serious and goody-two-shoes-y the past few months so I’ve decided to be a bit crass again. My latest vids may have given you the impression that I’m a boy when in fact, I’m a man… a very manly man. I pick at least 20 fights a day and I always break the other guy’s nose… or skull... and ego, most definitely

Since I don’t wanna offend certain groups of people …too much, I would first like to say that I have nothing against gay people. I totally respect them unless they’re begging to be disrespected. However if you prefer to call yourself a straight guy, you have to follow certain protocols lest be labeled a poser. The man-race is an exclusive club in which only strict followers of its rules may apply

A few rules/protocols and terms that every man should know:

The masturbation argument
masturbation argumentThis is the most sacred of manly protocols. Most men know this innately. However, those of us who weren’t schooled properly in the art of manliness may still disgracefully ask the question “what is the masturbation argument”.

According to manly protocol, if ever a man should ask you that question, you may be allowed to ask questions about his sexual preference or the size of his member. Also, you may be allowed to kick him in the balls for he is a disgrace to the sacred man race.

So what is the masturbation argument? …A man may touch himself in a sexual manner and he will not be considered a traitor to the man race. Should a man be gifted with the flexibility and the dimensions to satisfy himself through oral means, he will not be considered a traitor to the sacred man race. And should a man be attracted to himself, he will also not be considered a traitor to the man race. In summary, the only man who may be allowed to be attracted to himself or touch himself in a sexual manner is himself. Once this rule is violated, a most distasteful and revolting act will have been committed and the offenders will be irrevocably excluded from the exclusive man club.

A most distasteful violation of the masturbation argument

Metrosexuality:

  metrosexualA man may be allowed to pamper himself to a certain degree. He may be allowed to use hair products to a certain extent, he may be allowed to use artificial odor enhancers to a certain extent, he may be allowed to occasionally shop for expensive clothes to a certain extent… key words are “To. A. Certain. Extent”. Too much “fashion sense” for a guy is never a good thing. When a guy starts wearing make up and powder, when he starts spending hours and hours in front of the mirror prepping himself up; and when his clothing starts to remind you of a peacock, he has definitely crossed the border



On sitting or standing next to each other:

when two men are sitting or standing next to each other, they should always be aware of their proximity to each other. There should always be space between them. This rule should be followed more strictly if you are not in a large group and you only have each other for company. This knowledge should be innate in most men, however there are men that for some reason unknowingly violate this unwritten protocol, in public, offending the sensibilities of properly raised men around them. Two men sitting next to each other like cute little love birds perched on a branch is not a very pretty sight as is exemplified by the picture below

manly protocol

On touching another guy:

A straight man should never touch another guy gently. If he must make physical contact with another guy, there must be force. He may give the other guy a powerful slap on the back or a fist to one of his shoulders. Punch him in the abdomen or chest area.

On speaking:

When speaking, a man must always exude masculinity. This is something I recorded a long time ago but just to demonstrate to you, my curious reader, what a real man should sound like...



Test your Gaydar:
Now that I’ve educated you, we will now test your gaydar to determine if you are aware of other unwritten manly protocols. Look at the picture below
gay, offensive
If your gaydar is working properly, you don’t have to examine this picture too closely to know that this guy doesn’t belong in the club. Let us examine a few of his viol(Read More)
