Enterprising pinoy: facebook poker chips for sale

July 3rd, 2008

 

In one of the Facebook (a social networking site much like Friendster) applications called Texas Hold'Em Poker, I once again saw the hand of our enterprising Pinoy brothers/sisters.

Each table may seat 9 participants, and onlookers who "Watch" over the table may freely comment in the player chat section below. Every now and then, I never fail to notice a message that randomly pops out, visible for all to see.

The message goes, [Stephanie Martin]: to all my fellow pinoys, we are selling poker points for only Php 1K for 1M, 1.5K for 2M etc. just email poker_king1225@yahoo.com for more details.

Ateneo Blue Eagles: UAAP Season 71 Lineup (2008) Part 2

July 2nd, 2008

For Part 1 click here

Kirk Long - still more known for his buzzer beating fall away to beat UST and the controversial sub-in for Laterre that was protested by DLSU than for his on court play.  He has shown that he can be a solid swingman offensively and defensively, showing excellent poise even as a freshman.  Will be counted on more to play the point this year although from all indications, his instincts for tempo control, dribbling, passing, and floor leadership all have a long way to go.  Is too focused mainly on getting the ball past midcourt instead of trying to set up or getting his head up to find open teammates.  Has mysteriously become more hesitant on offense, repeatedly passing up open shots and ruining his rhythm with unnecessary pump fakes.  Has the tools and physical skills to be a major contributor this year but needs to have the confidence — wont be surprised if Black puts him back full time to his more natural swing position after a few games.

enterprising pinoy: pacquiao diaz dvd already on sale

July 1st, 2008

In only a few hours after Manny Pacquiao won over David Diaz last June 28, 2008 in Mandalay Bay, the PPV pay per view movie was already available for download on torrent.

The enterprising pinoy already had this for sale on the streets of Quiapo shortly after, for only P35 to P50 a copy. Of course this irked licensee Solar Sports.

Almost simultaneously, probably different entrepreneurs were selling the same show in the internet for $10 at ebay.

The Enterprising Pinoy is a blog section that narrates how poverty has forced the average Filipino to take on unorthodox means of income that would otherwise be not thought about by an  average 9 to 5er of a first world country worker.

utopic dreams: running and recycling

June 30th, 2008

Starting today, i would write articles on how man's folly is ultimately doing him in.  In the Utopic dreams series, we will explore how man's pride, ego, greed, capitalism, masks, etc. are contributing to his self destruction.

First case in point. Take a look at this man encircled in yellow.  What is he doing? He's jogging every day in greenhills, like my friend in his blog prometheuscommeth at the ultra. 

The greenhills jogging scene has evolved from the pioneer well to dos who ate at Mcdonald's greenhills after their "workout".  It has now included some various groups like tai ichi, aerobics, and other commuting segments have joined in as well.

CHART WATCH
The charts indubitably show the trends in diferent time frames declining and we should expect the index to continue to move in that general direction. The MACD vs price divergence appearing in the intermediate trend from Jan-May failed in early June when the MACD broke below the line drawn below the advancing troughs and subsequently realigned with the price decline.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Major alarm bells sounded off this week, when the primary and intermediate support levels were breached in sweeping fashion. Trendwise, the index is marking new lows, meaning no relevant prior support levels remain which we can use to identfiy near term areas of potential buying interest. Historically though, the index is back to levels of 2006, a year when the market found major support at 10,683. The MACD shows the decline is gaining momentum.

Youtube video: Mini Me / Vern Troyer sex tape

June 28th, 2008

I saw this news on the net.  Vern Troyer, more popularly known as "Mini Me" in Austin Powers movie sues TMZ.com for showing snippets of his sex tape.  He is also suing Kevin Blatt, dubbed as the sex tape king who is selling the videos for $100,000.  If you go to Youtube.com and type in keywords "Mini Me sex tape", there will be several links.  I am sorry for not providing the links here.  I don't think that anyone's  sex life should be made public.  Also, I've watched some TMZ episodes on the TV and I think that they are "harassing" the celebrities most of the time.

P.S. I have not seen any of the videos and I'm not planning to.
