I went through my elementary years, hearing all folks pronouncing my name, ru-bi-li. And as I stepped in and out in my freshmen to senior years, I had this call, ro-bel. This rooted when my Filipino prof asked a suggestion of how she would address me, well, there goes a spark and just to get a fame, I answered, robel. (same name of the heartthrob senior guy in school) Well, I guess, you can say my name now, very well.

A Quiz for Asian Stars: Failed

I've been fixing our magz and articles because it was so messy. Then I caught a glimpse of the Asiaweek's presence.
How about displaying an IT knowledge to Taiwan-born sexy goddess Shu Qi and Thai singer Tata Young.
Questions:
1 What is an ISP?
Shu: I don't know.
Young: ISP? ISP? God, what is an ISP?
2. What is the US JUstice tryong to do to Microsoft?
Shu: Raise interest rates?
Young: I've heard about this but I wasn't paying attention. This is bad for me, pass.
3. Who is Lara CRoft?
Shu: I really don't know anything about IT.
Young: Tomb Raider? A producer once wanted me to dress like her in a music video. Hello? I'm a singer not a geek video game girl. It must be a guy thing.
4. Which file do you use to listen to music?
a. JPEG
b. PDF
c. MP3
Shu: I have never heard of any of the above. I'm really moronic about technology!
Young: You use MP3. I knew that, thank God.
Well, it doesn't really matter how much they've scored. Still, they are mega entertainers beloved by millions!
How about you? Kindly post your answers. Thank you.

The Extinction of Jamie (Dzeymi)
As I turned the fm radio power on, the frequency pointed to 102.3, sort of emotional songs the on board jockey played then and then. And my reaction is kind of like " Na'no ni man? Gahod!"After few minutes, I do tuned in to MOR, fm radio of the ABS - CBN, suppposedly the cause of its fame. Well, the station really got its modesty aside, it did compensate me emotionally!
In my Junior high days, teacher's tardiness would give way to the students even a 5-minute noise, I mean, everybody does chat with his/hert seatmate. So, I got the chance to ask my classmate, everything's about music...
"Try mo bala, Jamie. Nami na da!" he suggested.
And that's how I started to listen at Jamie @ 102.3, WHO YOUR RADIO SHOULD BE! Patience then is a much needed virtue today, why? because as a fresh listener you might find their songs really terrible. From then on, I never change the dial, I get clicked, I learn to love their tracks, as well as the disc jockeys, too.
"Rock Freeway" my wake-up call. "Intimate Souls" my sleeping pill and makes me feel I'm loved. There goes "Chocolate Soul" to cheer me up! Give way to the "Rarest Essence" which soothes my well being. Wanna dance so easy? "Island Radio" must be the cure. Above all, viva to "Sinbad's Gallery" who feeds my soul.
Years have passed "the shout" had changed, I mean, example...
" ... Jamie @ 102.3, YOUR STYLIE"
I apologize coz I'm, inventing an alternate of the correct "the shout". The ff. then were "the shouts":
Jamie @ 102.3, the radio wih an attitude!
Jamie @ 120.3, cool is our industry!
Jamie @ 120.3, get your groove on!
The good news then, Jamie has been in he top-5 of the most happening radio station accdg. to a survey. Presently, I've got bad news... Jamie doesn't exist anymore! My bad! Now, I'm never been updated with the latest emotional songs plus the sudden silence of Literock, too. I am missing Jamie too much!!! ^_^

Atashin' chi
The cute boy who starred in Atashin 'Chi. I believe he's not that handsome like Prince Leonard (Cinderella), not a great grappler like Baki, not a skilled swordsman like Kenshin (samurai X), not a fastest football player like Cena (Eyeshield 21) but I love him not just because he sounds so strict but because he reminds me of somebody. The bad thing is I hardly see him now, I used to be an early riser because of the show. One time, I caught the advertisement of Detective Conan and I'm glad Sinichi is back! Unfortunately, the program kicked out Mr. Yuzuriko.
I wish I could grab a copy in Tagalog verson only.

Granades of Logic: Think-Examine-Evaluate
Let me borrow some of Mr. Max Shulman's lines in his ever humorous campus romance story "Love Is A Fallacy". Let me help you then recognize the usual fallacies of logic.
Dicto Simpliciter - an argument based on an unqualified generalization.
Example: Exercise is good. Therefore, everybody should exercise.
Why the argument is a fallacy? What if you have a failure? So, it should be: Exercise is good for most people.
Hasty Generalization
Example: "We have now spent 3 months of chatting. Now, we're getting intimate. I can say that we both are well matched."
The generalization is reached too hastily.
Post Hoc
Example: Don't sing while cooking or you'll have a granny wife or grandpa hubby.
The song has no connection of your future wife or hubby.
Contradictory Premises
Example: "If I am an expert guitarist, can I pick an emotionl song that I won't be able to play it?" Actually. there is no argument because they contradict each other.
Ad Misericordiam
Example: A friend just had an eyeball with her textmate.
"O, Pogi ba?" I asked her
And a reply of "Treat niya ko, galante nga eh!"
Oh, it's no argument because a friend never gave the suited answer.
False Analogy
Example: Students should be allowed to look at their notes during exam. After all, surgeons have x-ray to guide them during operation, lawyers have briefs tp guide them during trial, carpenters have blueprints to guide them whnen building a house. Why, then, shouldn't students look at their notes during exam?
The argument is all wrong. Doctors, lawyers, carpenters aren't taking a test, but students are.
Hypothesis Contrary to Fact
Example: If Madame Curie had not happened to leave a photographic plate in a drawer with a chunk of pitchblende, the world today would not know about radium!
The statement is a fallacy. You can't start with a hypothesis that is not true and then draw any supportable conclusions from it.
Poisoning the Well
Example: Two men are having a debate.
First man: "My opponent is a notorious liar. He's a cheat!"
Well, obviously the first man has poisoned the well before anybody could drink from it. It's not fair!
Hey guys can you cite some examples? I need your reaction to this. Thanks.
