CSI

   Posted by: michy   in General

It’s been over 4 years and I still can’t get enough of CSI Las Vegas.  Yes, like everyone else I was sad when Grissom left the show and honestly, I really don’t know if he’s back yet since I was not able to see the new episodes yet  but that doesn’t make me lesser a fan compared to someone who had seen everyting.  But anyway, I am trying to catch up.  I am on season 8 now and hopefully the time would come when I can say that I have done watching season 10 with my head held high.

Nyahaha…

Worried about how to get started…

   Posted by: michy   in General

I am thinking of putting up a business after I leave my job, but it’s not anytime soon. However, I am worried about where will I get the money that I need to put up the business that I want to put up. My vision is to change the dining scene back home. It’s a bit ambitious so I need might need to have a big capital to sustain it on the first few months of operation. Finding the perfect place back home is easy it’s the money to put up the business that makes it a challenge. Some people would apply business loans to get the capital that they need but I am scared that I might not be able to keep up with the mortgage and the operating expenses of the business. I have had Personal Loans and I tell you, if my income isn’t fix, I might have ended in jail for not paying it on time. But, thank GOD, I have a good paying job so I am able to keep up with the monthly mortgage and my daily expenses.
Another fear that I have is the term Unsecured Loans. I don’t know how would that affect me as a consumer or a business owner but I sure don’t want to like the sound of that.  Anyway, there are a lot of Small Business Loans available out there even in my home town, but there, I am scared to start a business using money from loans for it will be an expense on top of your operating expenses.

Let’s learn French or should I say Frenglish

   Posted by: michy   in General

A few French words that I came by bourse, mutuelle pas cher and calcul pret immobilier.  I really don’t have an idea of what these words and phrases means so you will have to correct me if I am wrong.  According to the translator tool of Google called Google translate, bourse could mean sholarship, grant, purse, award, stipend, pouch, exhibition and change.  Mutuelle means mutual, pas means not, cher could mean dear, expensive, costly, priced, precious, pricey and at a premium but if you put them together mutuelle pas cher means mutal cheap.  Calcul pre immobilier on the other hand means calculation estate loan.

So if these transations are correct then if I would use them in a sentence, my sentence would be:

You are lucky to find a real estate company who will bourse you a calcul pret immobilier that is mutuelle pas cher.

Hahaha, it’s kinda like I am doing Taglish (mixing Tagalog and English).  Now, that’s some Frenglish for you.  hehehe…

Skip level

   Posted by: michy   in General, What Goes On At Work

I was really surprised when they informed me that I will have to do a skip level yesterday.  Like I didn’t know that I have to make one until one of my colleagues informed me that I am one of those who will present it.  Hay, that’s one of the set backs of not having a station during the shift.  Anyway, they decided that I can just present it next week.  Haller, mine isn’t as easy as the others for although I only have one team, they are divided into two groups which means I technically have two teams.

Writing Services?

   Posted by: michy   in General

I don’t know how it is in other countries but in the Philippines, people have made business out of almost anything!  I remember there is a cooperative in Payatas where people makes bags out of tetra packs of juices and stuff.  You can even find shops in Recto, the university belt of the Philippines, that offer writing services to students who are having a though time making their thesis.  I am not sure though if they offer essay writing services for you to buy custom essays.  But I am sure though that we will find people there who can make your thesis for you to meet your requirements to finish school.  Funny, for I heard that some of these shops would just copy some of the texts from somewhere and some would just rephrase the sentences but if you read it carefully the thought will be the same as the previous ones that they have created and sold to other people.  I wonder if the teachers of those students really took the time to look into the papers that was submitted to them.  Hahaha… I guess this is the reason why Ateneo De Manila has strict rules on plagiarism.  They want to make sure that their students will really make their own thesis.  And to prove that they are serious, they do not give any consideration to whoever commits them.  They would even punish their own faculty members who commit such offense.  But then again, you cannot stop these companies who wants to provide such services for there really is a demand for it.

Whooppeeee!!! I will be going to work in a few hours and this is my last day of work for the week.  Oh, now I remember, I need to wear something like a rockstar for we have a theme day today.  It’s employee appreciation day today and to make it fun, the Employee Engagement team decided to have a theme day.  Now, isn’t that lovely?  hehehe… So that means, my skip level presentation will really happen next week. Hahaha… that means I still have time to work on it over the weekend.  Whohooo… Hehehe…

Car Accessories

   Posted by: michy   in General

My friend pointed out a car that he wanted to buy when we were on our way to Mcdonald’s for lunch last week. I told him that it might not be a good idea since I heard that the accessories for the said brand are hard to find. He said “really?”. I told him that I am not sure though and told him to check the autoshops to make sure. Well, he’s not really into supping up cars, but I realized that like most men, he likes cars. However, checking the availability of the accessories and body parts of a car is not just for suppin up cars, it is one of the considerations to consider if you wanna purchase a car.

Aha! I think that’s the reason why his pickup truck is still in the repair shop. I remember that whenever we have a problem with the SUV that we used to use in the research project on S. japonicum, a parasite fund in the rice fields, a few years back it would take a while for it to be fixed. We would normally wait for the weekend before we take it to the shop. I remember telling our driver that I like to have an SUV like the one that we are using. I remember that he told me if I would consider buying an SUV, I should consider getting an SUV from another car manufacturer for the spare parts for that particular brand is really hard to find. I guess that’s the reason why we would usually wait for weeks before something can get replaced. Which makes me wonder if this is the same for most manufacturers. But I think this is not true for Ford accessories because, if I am not mistaken, Kris Aquino got a Ford car a few years back and she said that Ford has a manufacturing plant in Laguna.  Now, knowing that the company who built your car is within reach would be such a relief wouldn’t it for if you will have a problem, then it would be easy to have it fixed right?

Wonder if the Marinade has something to do with it?

   Posted by: michy   in General

I went to Metro today. Bought some chicken thighs, bitter melon and some other stuff. I sauteed the bitter melon and had the chicken fried.

Thinking of saving some flour, I decided to remove most of the marinade. The chicken browned nicely over low heat but alas, when I ate the chicken, it turned out it was cooked rare. Now I am wondering if it has something to do with the oil that I used or was it because I removed most of the marinade? Could it be that with lesser liquid, the floor cooked faster that it should be? Hmmm… But the chicken meat wasn’t dry, it was rather juicy in fact. I cooked it the same way I cooked my chicken. The only thing that I did was remove most of the marinade. So I guess it was that. But then you can cook fried chicken with dry rub right? Hmmm…
