it's tag time!

i now interrupt the regular programming with a couple of VITs--very important tags. ;-P really, it's fun to do tags from time to time.

handwritten post (from dhez):

1. sceneries: as in sunsets, cloudless skies, crystal blue waters, the wind, lush green mountains... ah, don't get me started. :)
2. music: gotta have earphones plugged to my ears especially when working.
3. world war 2: i've reveled in my aunts' stories of their lives during the war and even from the peacetime.
(i won't be tagging anyone in particular for this one, but consider yourself tagged if you've reached this part hahaha! ü)


i am beautiful (and sexy), no matter what they say...

from an equally beautiful and sexy blogfriend, pusa:

thank you, thank you! *sniffle*

i now pass on these awards to the following beautiful and sexy blogfriends like me ;-) -- verns, toe, kyels, rochelle, gypsy, beng, mimi and dhez. =)

une cool interruption

got tagged by snglguy for this one. it's a very simple procedure, so it was a success for me (yippee!), considering i see myself as technologically-challenged (wait, is there a term for this?! :D). anywho, you can read the instructions later on.

okie dokie, here's me office desktop for the world to see :-) after the nth reformatting of my computer, i decided not to change the desktop image anymore. i'm sure one of my anime freak officemates did this, but i'm not complaining. astig ng background ko, no? :-) if someone knows from which anime this guy came from, kindly tell me. =)

now that i'm done with that (thankfully, heehee), here are the instructions.

A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

You can do a screen capture by:

[1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).

[2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).

[3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.

For MAC users: Press [ Apple] [ Ctrl ] [ Shift ] and [ 3 ]

B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.

C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.

oh, and i'm not tagging anyone for this at the moment, but if you are reading this part now, well, consider yourself tagged! hahaha!

random post

because my brother and cousin sang the spider pig song from the simpsons movie many times than i've cared to hear, i didn't find it funny anymore when i finally watched the movie (though i LOVE the movie). overkill, if you ask me. but on the scene where homer was having an epiphany, another version of the song was playing in the background. a choral version. that one i love. what's more interesting about this version is that although the lyrics are funny, the rendition sounds very serious one would think it's a background song for a suspense movie or something the first time you hear it. (man, does this even make any sense?)

here's a video from youtube that i randomly picked in which that version is used.
