Darkness

Darkness by VBC -- darkness upon me even the wind blows softly darkness leave me be -- It's been years since I've written poetry. I'm not even sure if this is proper haiku format. The last time I wrote was in high school (10 years ago!) I felt absolutely nerdy when 2 or 3 of my poems were featured and I was invited to poetry reading night. At that time I was struggling with adolescent problems, writing seemed to help a bit. Hoping that it will help me now as an adult, with adult sized problems...

Savory Fried Chicken

Someone ratted me out to my Guama that I skipped breakfast and lunch today. So when I got home she told me to eat. I got some rice and spicy pork and ate. She then took out a 1/2 Savory Fried Chicken, not a surprise the chicken is no more. Very sneaky of her... But who's complaining? -- Vincent Benedict Py Castro / Bny / 王清河 via HTC TyTN II + Google -- The FORCE Will Be With You Always..

Feeling BAT-ty

A good while back I posted about OABs [Orientation Aware Backgrounds] and I completely forgot about them when I got my Treo 750v which you really didn't need to switch orientations with. Anyway now that I have a TyTN II, I can use OABs again and since I'm working on The Batman [got the license to manufacture and sell footwear for both Animated and Comics properties]. I decided to go with the animated series batman with this one :P -- [Portrait] [Start Menu] [In Landscape Mode]

Just Plain Tired...

Been working on my submissions for my new project for the past 6 hours... My head feels like it's going to split open and my eyes are burning... I hope they pass though so I won't have to edit and resubmit again...

Anger Leads to Hate, Hate Leads to Suffering

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda, Jedi Master ---- The DARK SIDE is seducing me again... ---- Re-reading the Jedi Code, I know that I shouldn't be giving in to anger and hate, maybe I just need time to clear my head. To center myself and look past my anger and hate... I do wonder how I am supposed to accomplish this... I can't just pack my bags and go on a hiatus or vacation. I think I really need one though. ---- My worst fear is that I give in to my anger, and do or say something that I might regret.

Curfew Backlash

The mall isn't even open yet and people are already milling about here at GSC. Police visibility + K9 units are everywhere. I'm uncertain if this makes me feel much more secure or not the popo's in the Philippines are NO WHERE near as professional as other law and order units in the rest of the world. -- Vincent Benedict Py Castro / Bny / 王清河 via HTC TyTN II + Google -- The FORCE Will Be With You Always...

Curfew is in Effect

After this afternoon's stand off between a rogue Senator (ex-military who led the Oakwood mutiny) and General in Makati City. A curfew between 12 midnight to 5 am is now in effect for Metro Manila and northern and southern Luzon. If you must be out be sure you have proper identification with you. Be safe everyone. The thing that boggles my mind is how the hell a officer with a court martial on his head wins in or can even run as a Senator. -- Vincent Benedict Py Castro / Bny / 王清河 via HTC TyTN II + Google -- The FORCE Will Be With You Always...

Yep! I'm This BORED!!!

Rude Awakening

Ok Thursday night I go home early to get some rest... Friday I end up waking up late and am über late for work. Friday night, I don't go out an sleep really early woke up around 8:30 and planned to have a cup of joe at Starbucks to really wake me up. As I was going down the stairs I slipped hit my head on the hand rail... Quite painful but I'll live. Are our steps just plain slippery? Am I just too clumsy (nb: I was walking slow and holding the hand rail)? Are the gimmick gods punishing me or sending me a sign? One thing's for sure: I won't be needing that cup of coffee after all. -- Vincent Benedict Py Castro / Bny / 王清河 via HTC TyTN II + Google -- The FORCE Will Be With You Always...

Review|PDair HTC 3-in-1 USB Adaptor

[The packaging isn't as impressive as the case] [mini USB/3.5mm audio jack/HTC ExtUSB headset jack] [Ext USB] -- I got this accessory just in case I wanted to share my music with others via the 3.5mm jack, I don't use the ExtUSB earphones because I have my Moto HT820. One problem I saw was that if you have the Adaptor inserted it makes the device think that a headset is inserted so audio is routed to the ports instead of the speakers. Would have been nice if this only happened when the port is occupied. -- Pros: 3 ports :D Cons: Makes the device think it has a headset inserted.

Review|PDair HTC TyTN II / P4550 Black Aluminum Case

When I got home from work I saw a Parcel Claim Stub with my name on it. So I swung by the San Juan Post Office to get my parcel. -- There are 3 items in my parcel here is the first one PDair Aluminum Case for HTC P4550/HTC TyTN II (Black) the other item is an HTC 3-in-1 USB Adaptor which I will show you later, the last is a free key chain [my 2nd in fact]. Let's get to it then... -- [PDair has decided to package the case in a nice black box with silver branding very nice] [In the box we see the case and the optional belt clip ~ I don't trust belt clips so this will be the last that we'll see of that, the case is lined with neoprene inside] [The TyTN II fits nicely into the case the cutouts for all controls, ports and camera] [The rear of the case] [cutouts for the stylus, camera button and power button] [cutouts for the ok button, scroll wheel, and voice command button] [case open screen tilted - as you can see the flap doesn't lie perpendicular to the surface time wil...

BIR: Bureau of Internal Rackets

Was at the RDO (Revenue District Office) this afternoon. They wouldn't receive our small corporation's 1702Q. The lady said we had to pay MCIT (Minimum Corporate Income Tax), she even whipped out the resolution for it. So I browsed it and under the very 1st section it clearly states that MCIT is applied to corporations after their 4th year of operation (this is only our 2nd year). I pointed this out to her but she tried to overwhelm me with sub points and what not. Basically she was trying to hustle me. To show the bitch she couldn't hoodwink me. I turned the implementing rules and regulations to the 1st page and used English to overwhelm her. I reckoned these hacks in our BIR weren't to adept in Uncle Sam's tongue so I had the upper hand or lip? Anyway she ended up passing me off to her boss. When I entered the office I immediately used the same strategy and after making me wait 15 minutes they finally caved and received my 1702Q. Up yours BIR and Mabuhay and Repub...

Breakfast of Champions

The maid woke me up too early. So I'm here at Starbucks having my usual early morning cigarette, black coffee but this time I spiked it with a little cognac for the aroma.

2007-Nov CCRP Summary [and finished...]

November 2007 Cigarette Consumption Reduction Program (CCRP). A = Allowed C = Consumed U (O) = Under (Over) -- Disastrous... This is at 6 days into the month and I am already over my allowed cigs by 78 sticks or close to 4 cartons! If you read the October report preceeding this one then you know what I'm upto next. I'll still be keeping track of my consumption for reference. But this will be the last CCRP report.

2007-Oct CCRP Summary

October 2007 Cigarette Consumption Reduction Program (CCRP). A = Allowed C = Consumed U (O) = Under (Over) -- Total failure... October is the start of the 2nd phase of my CCRP, which according to Smoke Free Bny: Definitions, Regulations and Sanctions should be at 25% reduction rate. From the data I'm still a little under 50% [almost same consumption as September ]. Looking at my November listing [on my PocketPC] I'm already over the limit and it's barely a week into the month and I'm already over my limit. So basically I screwed up October and November [already!], honestly I think I bit off more than I could chew. I'm not making any excuses so the sanctions still apply: no STAR WARS STUFF and no TECH STUFF for November thru December [Shitballs!]. Since Phase 2 isn't working, I've decided to stop the CCRP and will try to go COLD TURKEY. Everyone says it's the most effective method and I think it's high time I give it a shot. Now when I will do that I...

Loving My TyTN II

Been using the TyTN II exclusively for almost 2 weeks now. And I must say that I'm loving the device for a guy who always gets lost the built in GPS is a God send.

I really want to get an aluminum case to protect my device. -- Vincent Benedict Py Castro / Bny / 王清河 via HTC TyTN II + Google -- The FORCE Will Be With You Always...

We had the following for dinner at the Quanzhou Hotel's Thai Resto: Chicken Indian Green Curry, Lamb Satay, Beef Curry Malaysian Style, Tom Yang Soup, Stir fried Spinach, Butter and Durian Roti, White Rice and Ice cold Coke to wash it all down. Tahlap!!! We're going to Jin Jiang tomorrow to another factory and hosts. Tomorrow we'll probably be eating Chinese food... Yeah!

Back in the Motherland...

Delayed Posts 22-Oct-07 11:45am -- Back in Xiamen, China we had to wait for a few minutes before our trader cum guide arrived they unfortunately had a flat on the way to fetch us at the airport. My mandarin isn't all that sharp I'll be the first to admit that. But from their conversation I've gathered that we're racing off to a factory before they go for lunch break to get something. Also the driver isn't so familiar with the destination so we're semi lost. Our guide has informed us that we'll be staying in Xiamen for the rest of the day because she has some business to finish here. We don't usually stay in Xiamen but go to nearby Quanzhou (1 to 1.5 hours by car). I wonder were we'll have lunch at. The factories will be on break from now to about 1 or 2 pm. Ok, we're having lunch here at 'My Best' a steak place they while driving. I ordered Steak and Foiegras since this trader is über cheap I'm going to hit em back by ordering the mo...

Coffee Break...

Here at the tinder box where you can smoke and have a cup of joe. An hour and twenty to go before our flight. Will probably board after my coffee. I was looking over my October cigarette consumption and I'm already over I think 25% reduction is a bit more than I can do at the moment. I might try going cold turkey. Was talking to a friend and he's been smoke free for 90 days already. -- Vincent Benedict Py Castro / Bny / 王清河 via HTC TyTN II + Google -- May The FORCE Be With You...

Off to China

Off to China for a couple of days... We're on the 9 am flight to Xiamen but since my mom is going to Guangzhou on a 6 am flight so were going to the airport at the same time.

Review|HTC TyTN II

[HTC TyTN II itching to get out] [Fresh out of the box] -- The HTC TyTN II [internal code: HTC KAISER] is the succesor to the popular HTC TyTN [internal code: HTC HERMES] series Asian readers will know this as the dopod 838pro. Since HTC bought out all it's Asian subsidiaries HTC will be the branding for all devices from the Taiwanese Windows Mobile behemoth. Having previously owned a TyTN I was hesitant to return to the slider form factor after nearly 10 months with my QWERTY bar palm Treo 750v . But the lure of beefed up specs was too great for me to ignore and so we begin our journey with the TyTN mark II.
