the thing about machines like pcs & macs...

I really dunno what to say about electronic gadgets....

my office's G5's acting up... I think it hated one of my previous editing projects... i know... cos after I dumped it out (meaning in video terms, recorded it down onto a miniDv, etc), it refused to let me view whatever I'm editing on the connecting TV... maybe its cos the files related to that project's still in it...

have to find a way to solve the problem... otherwise I can't see if what I'm doing is alright a not???!!!! I'm blind as a bat now...

another problem lies with iDVD... well Final Cut Pro oso... they like to unexpectedly quit... it's almost like PC's hanging... but worst... they just quit... & leave u pulling ur hair out cos there's no way to retrieve ur files or much less even attempt to save them... such horrid creatures... they have a mind of their own... i swear...

peace out...
Same Old problemo...

You Know You're Addicted to Caffeine When...





You Know You're Addicted to Caffeine When...


You haven't slept since the Clinton Administration.

Your next-door neighbors often call to complain about the sound of your chattering teeth.

Instead of Tic Tacs, you suck on Vivarin.

You plan to name your twins "Cappuccino" and "Espresso."

On the way to work you get pulled over for speeding and you don't even have your car.

You kill a guy for trying to switch your regular coffee to decaffeinated Folgers.

You wake up in the middle of the night screaming "Pepsi! For the love of God, I need Pepsi!"

When a Maxwell House commercial comes on, you actually lick the TV screen.

You drink so much coffee it starts shooting out your ears.

You're shaking like Michael Jackson on his wedding night.

You think sleep is for the weak.

You've just had your 20th cup of coffee within 20 minutes on a Friday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, just so "the milk doesn't go bad over the weekend"

You believe that the coffee bean is a vegetable.

You know from experience caffeine tablets don't dissolve in cola.

You wake up to Mountain Dew, before switching to JOLT.

You can name five flavors of JOLT.

You have a mini-fridge under your desk... and a catheter.

You drink decaf by accident and slip into a coma.

Mountain Dew is the stuff great decisions are made of.

You regard the fact that your hands are shaking as a good sign.

You have tattooed across the knuckles of your hands "JOLT" and "COLA"

Your birthday is a national holiday in Colombia.

You go to sleep just to wake up and smell the coffee.

Your coffee pot is next to your bed and your alarm clock is in the kitchen.

You've ever an airplane's call button just to get a coffee refill.

You've knelt and prayed before a Starbuck's logo.

Your web page has the Mountain Dew color scheme.

You have distilled Jolt Cola to make it more potent.

The dishes in your house are all coffee cups.

You see nothing wrong with using water joe (caffeinated water) to make the coffee you use to take your no-doze.

You believe that sleep is simply a poor substitute for sleep

It's 6:09 AM and you're on your 2nd 20oz. cup of coffee.

You have to drink some form of caffeinated beverage just to sleep.

You'd rather be beaten over the head with a sledgehammer than give up that first cup of coffee in the morning.

You've given up sex, TV, or all forms of meat for Lent before, but can't make it 40 days without caffeine.

You suck on a used coffee filter (full of coffee grounds) whenever the can runs out of coffee.

You dip espresso beans.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to caffeine.




What Age Do YOu Act???

Ever questioned how old you are at heart???

Try this... It worked for me...




You Are 22 Years Old



22





Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Saya tak boleh... The eternal mystery of weird questions posed by tourists to me...

Its kinda funny for me when tourists start asking about what they can do or cannot do here... like a recent example, someone actually asked me if there were English movies in the cinemas, and if he could eat his ice cream while walking around...

I mean, you guys must think that we're like some undeveloped country with everyone speaking languages other than English, that explains the possible lack of English movies in the cinemas... since no one understands it???!!! No wonder our government wants to highlight to foreigners that our country is not part of China or Malaysia... apparently its necessary... to show that we're a civilised country with cosmopolitan influences... aka we can speak and understand English... we're not idiots you know...

Furthermore, not allowing someone to eat something when you're walking around is like... taking away your basic right to feed when you're hungry... can you even do that??? Then what about all the ice cream sellers on the streets??? Doesn't that make them illegal too??? And what about the mobile food vendors??? I mean, as long as you don't litter... it's fine... We're not such a FINE city afterall... you still have SOME freedom...

End of complaint...

Same Old ???
