JP's Space on the Web

It's not something to be proud of. I'm just posting this so that I know what date exactly I got sick. LOL. I was sick from March 12 until March 15, rested on 16 and 17. I didn't go to the office for 5 days! *gasp* I was surprised on how bad it was. I rarely get sick, and if I do get sick, it would just be a simple fever that would last a day or 2. I didn't have to go to the hospital or drink medicine. But last week was so bad I thought I was going to be hospitalized. Luckily the meds fixed me up. It was a pain swallowing those pills tho! Blech. I never got the hang of it. Why don't they make chewable medicines for adults as well? See you around guys. If you have the time, call or text me!!! :D

I haven't updated this for a while. That's how monotonous and boring my life has been lately. But at least I'm alive and healthy (as far as I know). December * I was happy that Danni Boatwright won Survivor: Guatemala, even though I was rooting for Stephenie LaGrossa. * I was pleased the Linzes won the Amazing Race: Family Edition. Can't wait for Season 9, which will air on the 28th of February. * Christmas was ok, not so great. (I'm not whining!) * Jeff, a friend of mine since high school who was in Canada for a year (I think), was back and he invited me and a couple of friends for dinner with him and his siblings plus 2 of his friends in college. We had a great time, and I got to taste my first Starbucks coffee! (That's how dull it's been this past few months, that I even celebrated my first cup of expensive Starbucks coffee). Thanks Gretch! ;) January * New year! Fireworks, firecrackers, food! * I started a new online game called The Farm , based on a rea...

Next week will be an awesome week. Two of my favorite reality shows, Survivor and the Amazing Race, are going to air their season finale! We're down to the Final 4. Who among Danni, Lydia, Rafe and Stephenie will win the title of Sole Survivor and the $1 million prize? (Well, I think I know who wins by browsing several spoiler sites, but I won't spoil you. Hehe!) Find out on Monday, 2:00 PM on Studio 23! The Final 3 teams of the Bransens, the Linzes, and the Weavers are going to battle it out to earn $1 million and become the official winners of the Amazing Race. Who will win? (Again, I think I know who wins from several websites, lol) Tune in on Wednesday, 10 am on Studio 23 for the 2-hour finale!

Amazing Race 8 is starting soon, and so is my new game! I'm going to run The Amazing Race 8 Prediction Game . It's fairly simple. Each week, before each episode air, you have to answer a few questions about the upcoming episode, like "Who will be eliminated?" The results will be shown after the episode is televised, and the score will be tallied. You also get bonus points for other stuff. It's very simple and easy. If you are a fan of the show and would like to join a game, please try out mine! Thanks! :) PS: I'm currently reading Congo by Michael Crichton.

I don't have anything worthwhile to post right now, so why not answer this survey for me? :D Just comment on this blog with your answers to the questions below. :) ********************* 1. Who are you? 2. Are we friends? 3. When and how did we meet? 4. Do you have a crush on me? 5. Would you kiss me? 6. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it. 7. Describe me in one word. 8. What was your first impression? 9. Do you still think that way about me now? 10. What reminds you of me? 11. If you could give me anything what would it be? 12. How well do you know me? 13. When's the last time you saw me? 14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't? 15. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?

I really love Mozilla products. I've been using Firefox as my browser for several months now, and it's all pleasure. There are some fancy stuff that it can't seem to do (like glowing fonts), but I'm not complaining. The best thing about it is that it is FREE. The installer file is also quite small, about 4.5 MB, very convenient to download. Try it out! You'll forget you even have IE. If you are using Outlook or Outlook Express and you are hating it, I suggest trying Mozilla's Thunderbird email client. Again, this is FREE to download, the installer is only 5.8 MB, and there's one feature that I totally love about it: you can download RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds to your computer! Are you still with me? I'll give you an example. I download blogs using my Thunderbird program! Blogs! Yes! Isn't that neat? Instead of visiting different blogs, you can download the latest entries right to your computer. It's amazing. But of course, you need ...

I realized that these past few months most of the TV shows I watch are reality shows. I think it's mainly because the non-reality shows that I like/want to watch (CSI, Alias, 24, Darna (LOL!), etc) are aired at a time that I am at/on my way home to work (I work nights). Every Sunday (my day off the job), I usually watch several movies. It doesn't help that I am also a moderator in a reality show-based forum . I am most surprised at finding myself interested in a reality show that is not even aired here in the Philippines. I'm talking about Big Brother 6 . That show has got to be the most strategy-filled reality show I have ever known, way more cut throat than Survivor. From what I read in message boards, it is one of the most interesting BB seasons that CBS produced. Some even say the season might be "scripted" and not really "real" (which is what reality shows are all about). Someone told me that our version of BB, Pinoy Big Brother, is patterned after...
