‘May araw din tayo’

Sabi mo, Gary Olivar, magpakalalaki si Noynoy, huwag na nyang punahin ang boss mo. Sabi mo rin, politically mature na tayo, di na dapat ginagamit sa pulitika ang mga salitang “Good vs. Evil” or “Kabutihan laban sa Kasamaan.”

Payong kapatid, p’re, easy ka lang sa salitang “mature.” Di ka gaanong kapanipaniwala pag nagpapasya ka kung ano ang mature at ano ang hindi. Hindi na ko magpapayo na easy ka rin lang sa paghamon sa ibang tao na magpakalalaki, bahala ka lang magnilay-nilay tungkol dyan sa harap ng salamin.

Meron pa bang mas immature kesa sa sagot mo kay Noynoy? Obvious naman na ang pinanggalingan nyan ay ang kulturang macho na nagsasabing ’wag kang papatol, o makikipagaway, sa babae kung tunay kang lalaki. Kung ganun lang ang deskarte n’yo, uminom na lang kayo ng gin hanggang sa machoka. ’Yang machong kulturang ’yan ay matagal nang ibinasura ng taongbayan sa tulong ng women’s groups dahil sa mababang pagtingin sa kababaihan. Kunyari nagtatanggol sa mga babae, sa totoo ay sinisiraan ang mga babae.

- otherwise known as the citibank scandal. this clips could be a very nice ring tone. better yet - this should be pass on to those stoopid politicians who tend to enact silly laws, corrupt law enforcement officers or your high and mighty boss that you despise a lot.

What? What? Can you repeat that PLEASE!

…mula sa isang puting kiwi

___________________________

I read with a sinking stomach that Telecom, in their infinite wisdom, are moving 250 call centre jobs to Manila which will bring their number of call centre people there to 700.

Must be a money saver…why pay Kiwis a half decent wage when you can get the job done more cheaply elsewhere?

hisssssssssss…………..

I’ve had a lot of problems with email, am on the phone to xtra at least once a week - and it drives me nuts.

It’s bad enough that Telecom/xtra can fail in their service to us full stop, and it’s even worse if that failure is not reflected in a reduced phone bill, but what’s really infuriating is not being able to understand the person on the other end of the line who is supposed to be helping.

Filipinos learn American English and their accents are diabolically hard to understand. They are so heavy!

When I have to call them for help I am always stressed out (because my job is communication and I can’t afford to be offline and incommunicado - that would mean blank pages in About Town!) so getting someone with a voice that a) is almost unintelligible and b) grates, really fires me up. It shouldn’t I know. But it does. Their voices are not just impossible to understand, they are really annoying as well. You know how some accents can be totally charming? Well, these are anything but! They must be the least attractive accents in the world!

And because these people are as close as we get to the actual corporation I allow myself to fully vent my anger…

E.g. after getting someone to repeat something 6 times I will yell in frustration.

I am better with Indian call centres since I saw Slumdog Millionaire, and I can cope with Cairo, but Manila? I lose it!

Wouldn’t it be nice if Kiwis could do these jobs instead of adding to the unemployment.

It’s mental. It doesn’t make sense and it makes me really really mad!!!!

The War at Home

The War at Home
By Chip Tsao

The Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen onboard. We can live with that-—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That’s no big problem-—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.

But hold on-—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: There are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as HK$3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.

As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell everyone of her compatriots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to China.

Grimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her Government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.

Oh yes. The Government of the Philippines would certainly be wrong if they think we Chinese are prepared to swallow their insult and sit back and lose a Falkland Islands War in the Far East. They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. Some of my friends told me they have already declared a state of emergency at home. Their maids have been made to shout ‘China, Madam/Sir’ loudly whenever they hear the word “Spratly”. They say the indoctrination is working as wonderfully as when we used to shout, “Long live Chairman Mao!” at the sight of a portrait of our Great Leader during the Cultural Revolution. I’m not sure if that’s going a bit too far, at least for the time being.

dude…buggy!

yes, juan next time you see a picture of the moon buggy always remember a pinoy had a hand on designing it.

His designs might not be exactly what went up to the moon ( read comparative analysis), but hell there’s no denying his initial proposals where part of the end product.

Mechanical engineer, Eduardo San Juan (aka The Space Junkman) worked on the team that invented the Lunar Rover or Moon Buggy. San Juan was also the designer for the Articulated Wheel System.

Elisabeth San Juan, the proud daughter of Eduardo San Juan, had the following to say about her father.

When my Father submitted the conceptual design for the Lunar Rover he submitted it via Brown Engineering, a company owned by Lady Bird Johnson.

During the final test demonstration to select one design from various submissions, his was the only one that worked. Thus, his design won the NASA Contract.

His overall concept and design of the Articulated Wheel System was considered brilliant. Each wheel appendage was mounted not underneath the vehicle, but were placed outside the body of the vehicle and each was motorized. Wheels could work independently of the others. It was designed to negotiate crater ingress and egress. The other vehicles did not make it into or out of the test crater.

- kya pinoy, next time ka tumingala at mapagmasdan ang buwan alalahaning kahit papaano ay naka-abot naroon ang talino ng lahi mo.
