Thinkpad T42p and a Macbook. Still thinking if I'll get a Thinkpad W500 or a Macbook Pro.

only one - naupgrade to wife.

Backpack on normal routes na hindi gagamit ng MRT.

For regular work, shoulder messenger bag, kasi mahirap makipagpatayan sa MRT pag nakabackpack ka at may laptop sa loob.

lumalabas personal website ko dati, as well as some of my works in the technology arena.

these days mas sikat pa mga babies ko. oh well...

Dati I use a Thinkpad T42p. Gave it to my brother, though mas madalas gamit ng younger sister ko for her acads.

Nowadays nakikigamit ako sa Macbook na binigay ko to my wife. Okay naman so far, very satisfied with it kasi sobrang walang hassles with software etc. If I need Windows there's VMware Fusion. Bought it nung $1=P39 at a discounted rate nung beta pa lang sya. Sulit talaga.

At work I use the company issued Dell Vostro. Installed Linux on it kasi di ko talaga matiis ang Vista. Running XP via VMware. No need for vmware workstation or server kasi meron namang easyvmx.com

For a new laptop I'm torned between getting a Macbook Pro and the upcoming Thinkpad T400. T400 can take up to 8GB umano, perfect for running a 64-bit OS!

Gusto ko sana tanggalin yung paint and chrome of some of my previously worked Gundams (and start anew).

Questions:

a) is brake fluid really effective in removing paint? Will not try lacquer thinner kasi nakakasira talaga...

will bleach help remove chrome parts? I dont like the chrome on my 1/144 zeta gundam... i like painting my gundams e.

No. Di professional e.

Siguro sa labas ng academe, pag di mo na teacher/student, banatan na!

Been using Linux for the past hmmm... 8 years. These days it's just so easy, unlike the old days, so using Linux isn't evoking any hardcore hacking skills on a normal desktop usage. Ibang usapan though on servers and development - I still have to exercise Unix guru stuff as there's just too much that Linux can do.

Samsung D750. Issued by Globe (I really don't like their phone selection these days). Waiting for the Nokia E71 to get out!

selosa ang wife ko, kahit nung gf ko pa sya

I really can't relate why the country that proudly claims that it is the most christian/catholic nation in the world have the most corrupt leaders and haven't progressed the way it was supposed to be/projected to be.

when people believed that the world is flat, the minority believed and proved that it was round - so the major belief/truth was changed. Probably divorce wasn't that popular when it started but it changed the world and spread.

Actually divorces came earlier before the reestablishment of marriage as indissoluble. Divorces were dispensed in the pre-Christian era to prevent spouses who hated each other from killing each other in order to get remarried. It was permitted for "a people found to be so hard to teach".

Divorces only came back with Martin Luther, in his attempt for a state-sponsored church that is separate from the state, recognized secular divorces in his "church"

http://www.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/History/...omen/WR0913.htm

Because the Church influences the state which shouldn't be the case. Religion is different from government. Did you know that Spain which was so religious at the time it was spreading christianity believed in slavery? Is slavery right? No, that's why governments are against it.

Believed in slavery? Oh please. One only needs to check history that Christianity actually removed the slave status. Now, as to how secular authorities handled things - it's their own ball game.

Btw, it wasn't the Church that perpetuated slavery, you know, even in the Southern states? The Church doesn't have a voice there in the 60's.

Because religion makes you follow ur leader and vote for this person because he said so. Stand for your own beliefs.

Because modernism and relativism pursue individual man as his own authority. Modern man is so accustomed to saying that there's no absolute truth, and yet he can't reconcile that the said statement is being peddled as an absolute truth. Logically the idea negates itself, and QED cannot be true.

f#&k THAT ANALOGY.

We may f#&k the analogy but what you've just mentioned doesn't actually refute the assertion I made, nor even try.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS: THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COUPLES THAT LIVE TOGETHER ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

 

THERE ARE EVEN MORE THAT ARE SEPARATED AND COULD NOT GET MARRIED TO THEIR CHOICE OF A PARTNER BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

 

FOR THEM, LIFE IS A COMPLICATED THING.

And so? Does that deny the fact that the unity of the family is still the societal fabric? Marriage by nature isn't just a simple contract regarding a sale or exchange of goods that can be conveniently terminated. Given its differing nature, transgressions within the married state is meant to be handled differently from a normal contract.

It has been proven through numerous studies that divorces have a long term negative effect in the family for starters - from reductions in living standards, to problematic children, to radical changes in relationships with people taking either side of the divorcing couple. Multiply this effect to a larger segment of society and you end up with a community that can't stand together, or indifferent, or apathetic to society simply because their answers to problems is to start schism than persevering.

You can't have a strong family with the couple in schism. You can't achieve unity of the household through division. A society divided against itself cannot stand for long. If society actively supports schism, it's hastening its fall.

There are more secular reasons why not. We'll not be touching the other reason as we may have an even longer debate.

AND WHY CAN'T WE HAVE DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES? BECAUSE THE CHURCH MEDDLES IN STATE AFFAIRS.

 

 

BUT LOOK AT THE CHURCH THESE DAYS. HOW MANY SCANDALS HAVE ROCKED THEM GLOBALLY? SEXUAL SCANDALS THAT IS. IN THE UNITED STATES ALONE, HOW MUCH IS THE CHURCH PAYING TO KEEP COMPLAINTS OUT OF COURT?

Look at the Church ever since the day it started. It survived a persecuting Israel, it survived persecutions by the Roman empire, it survived endless scandals brought by numerous schisms and the Protestant revolt, it still survives scandals brought by many unworthy and sinful members (from Judas, to unworthy popes, corrupt clergy, from past to the present), numerous internal (from Sedevancavists, abusive Charismatics, liberal theologians and modernist teachers) and external dissent (from every other doctrinally-disunited Christian group that are only united by their hate of Rome), and yet it still stands. It has outlasted all empires and kingdoms of men. If it was merely human-made it would have crumbled a long time ago.

So what's the point of dragging the Church here?

WE CAN HAVE A MORE HAPPY SOCIETY IF COUPLES THAT HAVE DECIDED TO SEPARATE CAN REMARRY THEIR CHOICE OF A PARTNER.

That's actually debatable.

my wife and i still prefer rosal. mura and yet maganda ang ambiance. sarap magkantutan dito!

no. as much as there's unhappy marriages around, fact is marriage is still the fabric of the family, which is society's pillars. make that weak and society becomes weak as a whole.

brain. the heart can deceive e, kung puro feelings lang paiiralin. sex - very primal, i dont depend on it in deciding relationships

only 1. my gf became my wife. before her though daming sex encounters with other women. but that's all water down the bridge now.

not a big deal for me. i dont even think about it
