“Women inspire us to do great things … but preventing us to achieve them.” – Anonymous
Feb 11
I got this from a friend. Since I’m also in the IT industry, I realized the PLAIN TRUTH of it …
1. We work weird (night) shifts…
Just like prostitutes.
2. They pay you to make the client happy…
Just like a prostitute.
3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer
keeps almost every penny…
Just like a prostitute.
4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client’s dreams…
Just like a prostitute.
5. Your friends fall apart and you end up hanging out
with people in the same profession as you…
Just like a prostitute.
6. When you have to meet the client you always have to
be perfectly groomed…
Just like a prostitute.
7. But when you go back home it seems like you are
coming back from hell…
Just like a prostitute.
8. The client always wants to pay less but expects
incredible things from you…
Just like a prostitute.
9. When people ask you about your job, you have
difficulties to explain it…
Just like a prostitute.
10. Everyday when you wake up, you say: “I’m not going
to spend the rest of my life doing this.”
Just like a prostitute ……..

17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Laz’arus had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.
20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
26 and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world.”

This is a translation of the Sassy Girl’s immortal OST entitled “I Believe” which was sung by Shin Seung Hoon…
I just feel like posting it now because it’s been playing repeated in my Winamp for the whole duration of my coding. It’s paired in my playlist with the Canon (acoustic piano) played in the movie itself.
When I saw the English translation of the song in the Internet, I was moved by it’s lyrics because it somehow related to my past experience with this someone dear to my life … especially when she’s already getting colder and colder everyday. If only I could turn back time and fix things … because I honestly miss her and I love her so much …
===========
I believe… Even though you are not with me, this is not how we part.
I believe… You’re taking the long way back to me.
Inside all those past memories,
I make myself hurt and myself cry.
You didn’t cry as much as me, without a lot of tears, you tried to give me a painless good-bye.
I know that you will one day return to me, that I believe,
I will wait for you, I’ll do it for you.
I believe… Because I might hurt, you couldn’t even cry.
I believe… You will return to me all the tears that I now shed.
I’ll glimpse you come into my sight
And it’ll make my tears fall.
You didn’t cry as much as me, without a lot of tears, you tried to give me a painless good-bye.
I know that you will one day return to me, that I believe,
I will wait for you, I’ll do it for you.
Was the world was dazzling before I met you?
Underneath that sky, all I’m left with are tears
I will save this place next to me.
You are the only reason…
that waiting gives me enough happiness.
Love is the only reason…
As days pass by,
If you forget the way, I’ll be waiting
I do it for you.
I do it for you.

As predicted, Bisping and Jardine are big winners at UFC 89! We were expecting the much-awaited fight between Thiago Silva and Lyoto Machida but it got postponed. The fights were so boring! According to my friend, Richard Base, the only thing interesting was Leben’s haircut and Arianny!
The United Kingdom’s Michael Bisping moved one more rung up the UFC middleweight ladder with a clinical and classy performance against Chris Leben. With much of the UFC’s success in the country linked to Bisping’s status as a legitimate player in his division, it was a risky move to put its golden boy in with a dangerous and unpredictable foe such as Leben. But Bisping rose to the occasion with a smart stick-and-move strategy that left Leben visibly frustrated en route to a unanimous decision victory in the main event of UFC 89 in front of a crowd of 9,515.
The tension that had brewed between them during the prefight news conference reached boiling point by Saturday evening, and the Englishman looked even more fired up than usual as he made his way to the octagon to the sounds of Blur’s “Song 2.”
Sensibly refraining from getting drawn into a brawl, the English fighter used a quick jab to open a cut under Leben’s right eye. Peppering him with straight punches, Bisping utilised footwork that would make Lyoto Machida envious, staying out of range of Leben’s flailing punches.
Complete results:
Michael Bisping def. Chris Leben via unanimous decision (30-27, 20-27, 29-28)
Keith Jardine def. Brandon Vera via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Luiz Cane def. Remy Thierry Sokoudjou via TKO (RSF) 4.15 Round 2
Chris Lytle def. Paul Taylor via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28)
Marcus Davis def. Paul Kelly via submission (guillotine) 2.16 Round 2
Dan Hardy def. Akihiro Gono via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Shane Carwin def. Neil Wain via TKO (GnP) 1.31 Round 1
David Bielkheden def. Jess Liaudin via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
Terry Etim def. Sam Stout via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
Jim Miller def. David Baron via submission (rear naked choke) 3.19 Round 3
Per Eklund def. Samy Schiavo via submission (rear naked choke) 1.47 Round 3

Back in my late school days, I’ve always been eager to explore the computer world, though I took Differential Calculus three times … especially when I first got access to the Internet when I was in third year college. To date (and yes I still do), I’m still involved in some malicious schemes just for fun. Here’s a list of some of these:
1. Used free unlimited dial-up accounts of my classmates who didn’t have internet access (and never bothered to change passwords!)
2. As a technical staff, I was able to get a clue of the password patterns of the system admin when creating dial-up accounts for a certain local ISP (username = password).
3. Bombing the school’s mail server (thanks to Eudora and “wowkit.exe” of Windows95 installer) because of an annoying IT teacher who never appreciated our thesis project. The school’s internet went down for approximately 3 days.
4. Used tweaked flip-flop analog phones for unlimited long distance phone calls.
5. Credit card hacking is the major offense I have, and I was able to buy and access a lot of things: free airline trips, free hotel accommodations, gadgets, computer books, international calls through IM with voice capability, and many more.
Well, I never really wanted it that way coz I’ve been into several tight situations already. And speaking of which, I found this very interesting article about the World’s Top Hackers placed in the Hall of Fame. Sad to say, I’m still a long way to go, but nahh, I don’t wanna end up in jail dude!
