this blog is not about me..

but I'm blogging it because I was amused by the article..

actually, I was almost a victim of this kind of crime.. stupid guy didn't know that I grew up in Manila and was aware of people like him.. I only accept that kind of treatment if it's very late and all I want to do is to get home safely.. of course I'd set a fixed price that is close to the true value, but for idiots who want to charge as if they actually were the real people in tat business and give you the same excuse as the legitimate business, then screw you fakers since you charge almost triple the regular price!

anyway, here's the article:

Crooked cabbie mistakes LTO chief for 'promdi' passenger

After mistaking the Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief for a promdi passenger and charging him P700 for a ride to Quezon City, a taxi driver at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) found himself in detention, without a license and his cab impounded.

The erring driver made the serious mistake of refusing to flag down the cab meter for his passenger, whom he did not realize was LTO head Alberto Suansing.

"The driver, who mistook me for a promdi (Filipino slang for someone 'from the province'), refused to flag down his meter and told me that I have to pay P700 as fixed fare," Suansing told The STAR.

"I just ignored him and told him to proceed to Quezon City," he said.

Suansing said he took the airport taxi to verify reports of drivers ripping off passengers, especially from the provinces.

On the road, the driver kept asking him for the specific destination but Suansing merely told him to keep driving to East Avenue.

East Avenue is where the LTO head office is located. Sensing something was amiss, the driver asked Suansing who he was and insisted on knowing where they were going.

Upon reaching East Avenue, Suansing instructed him to enter the LTO compound. The now panic-stricken driver asked him again,"Sino ka ba? Bakit sa LTO tayo papasok? (Who are you? Why are we going into the LTO?)"

Suansing then told the bewildered driver: "I am the chief of the LTO. I am arresting you for taking advantage of a passenger."

Suansing said he has confiscated the license of the erring driver and also impounded the taxicab. - Perseus Echeminada (Philstar News Service, www.philstar.com)

You are striving for a life full of activity and experience and, perhaps even more, an environment where you would be able to forge a close bond with a person who can offer full emotional fulfilment.

You are trying to improve your position and prestige - be it in your life or in your workplace. Things are, at this time, OK - but they could be better. You feel that it is essential that you break down any opposition that could possibly lurk in the shadows. You know that you are quite capable of achieving this set goal because you have to and because it is essential to your self esteem.

The way things are at this time it is necessary to 'go slow'. All the pleasures that you have anticipated should be left in abeyance until some future date, but all is not lost, you are able to derive and achieve considerable gratification from someone quite close to you.

You are frustrated and stressed. You appreciate the finer things in life but at all times you appear to stay aloof, critical of everything and everyone about you. You will not be carried away by your emotions and you refuse to trust anyone or any situation unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore, you keep a strict and watchful control on your feelings as you must know exactly where you stand at all times. You demand complete sincerity as a protection against your own tendency to be too trusting.

You really would like to be completely uninhibited - to let your hair down - but you are held back by your sense of logic and rationalilty, since you realise that by simple stupidity you could lose everything - whatever that may be.

when boredom strikes..

dahil walang nagpapeer sa akin regarding gen chem, at hindi ko kaya sagutin ang diff eq na tanong, hindi gaanong active ang aking buhay sa peer advising kanina.. although nagpaturo si Duane ng phy chem, iba pa rin kasi ang nagtuturo ka ng gen chem..

anyway, habang walang tao sa peer advising, wala akong magawa, so nagsusulat lang ako ng kung anu-ano sa white board.. at ito ang isa sa mga napala ko..




obviously, pirma yan.. pero natuwa ako kasi mahirap xa kopyahin.. oo mukha xang simpleng scribble lang.. pero kung may mga tao na maarte ang pirma, ako maarte ang pag-sulat ng pirma na yan.. hahaha!!

kaya lang mahirap ata ang transition ng pirma na yan kasi lahat ng mga legal documents ko hindi ganyan ang pirma.. siguro pen name ko na lang yan sa bond kung magsusulat ulit ako roon.. hahaha!!

ang stirling cycle.. bow

kanina, lecture namin sa phy chem about cycles..

ang sabi sa stirling cycle, naglagay sila ng dagdag na heat sa isang carnot engine para tumaas ang work na magagawa mo based sa graph.. dahil lumaki ang area na sakop ng graph, mas malaki ang work na nagagawa ng engine mo..

pero may tanong si sir A.. bakit mo raw tatanggalin ang isentropic step, para palitan ng isochoric step?

ako, hindi ko pa rin alam kung bakit pa ginawa ni stirling un.. ang alam ko lang, mas mahaba ang isentropic step kaysa sa isochoric step..

ang alam ko lang.. isa akong sterling cycle ngaun.. nasa step na ako ng constant volume 1.. at malayo pa ang tatahakin ko para makaabot sa step para dumating sa heat reservoir..

buti sana kung carnot engine ako.. ang ikot ko nasa reservoir, work, sink, at reservoir lang.. pero kahit pa carnot engine ako, malayo pa ako ngayon sa heat reservoir.. ang masakit pa kapag ikaw ay isang engine, ay walang catalyst na pwedeng magpabilis sa pagabot mo sa heat reservoir.. talagang step by step ka papunta roon..

leche.. gusto ko na marating ang heat reservoir.. para tumaas ang aking enthalpy.. at para maabot ko na ulit ang aking carnot efficiency, at higit sa lahat, gawing spontaneous ang ginagawa ng engine na tinatawag na ako..

I need ethanol..

hindi ko kailangan ung binebenta ni Kris Aquino..

hindi ko rin kailangan ung binebenta ni Maricel Soriano..

ang kailangan ko, food grade ethanol..

ung pwede mong inumin tapos magbabawas siya ng sama ng loob..

pinag-iisipan ko pa kung gusto ko ng carbonated, or concentrated..

pero sa ngayon, kahit ano sa mga un okay ako.. basta masarap..

pero para naman hindi ako mangamoy, dapat, may kasama akong acetic acid..

para naman maging masaya ako..

at mag-amoy chico..

I want to write but I can't find the words..

kanina pauwi, natuwa ako kasi bilog ang buwan..

naisip ko tuloy, matagal ko na rin hindi nakita ang buwan ng bilog.. kaya gusto ko sana gumawa ng tula na tungkol sa buwan..

pero sa kasamaang palad, hindi na ako marunong gumawa ng tula..

lahat na lang ng naiisip ko, pang-paragraph form.. pagdating sa tula na ikinasanayan ko, hindi ko na kayang gawin..

haay.. kung ang buwan hindi ko na magawan ng tula, paano pa kaya ang mga susunod na gusto ko gawan.. leche.. nadi! paturo nga gumawa ng tulang makata! XD
