I can't beleive it all came in 1 day!!! I got my new glasses and my digital camera!!! I'm soo happy!!!

I swear, this is the funniest thing that I have ever heard of. Thinking about maybe moving paintball to the 18 of June, what do you guys think?

I just realized that I'm tackling 2 scheduling problems, one for paintball and one for bowling.

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT THERE WAS AN SFC GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON JUNE 17, 2000 ??!!!?!?

And presenting, the first monthly paintball tournament.

No Problemo Les

I know I've been lazy updating this site but hey, new forward, new journal entry so there. I'm still thinking how BoogieNet should look like.

Blah....

I can't beleive that it took me 2 hours to figure this out! I know I'm dumb.

Well, thank goodness that I'm still able to update my site through this and my bookmarks are still there because of DeepLeep! I love web-based apps. The reason for this frustration is because I just installed Win2K on my computer. Right now, its flying everything seems ok.

1 draw back though, ati all in wonder pro, isn't supported. So now, I don't have TV-out or TV-in nothing. I'm going computer shopping later. Gonna see about getting my system up to par. I can't beleive how much money I spend.

I wish I had some basketball skills, Vic and a couple of them are out on a mission to keep a team from doing a clean sweep on the 3 on 3 basketball tournament this weekend. Visit his page as well, its very nice to look at.

Oh yea, I also updated my site with a new forward. Its not really a forward, it was passed on to me via ICQ message.

Ok, for all of you the story that I'm about to tell might be a bit wierd, sometimes funny, but all around freeky.

I woke up this morning, nothing out of the ordinary happening. I manage to drag myself to the shower, get changed and head down to work. So now I'm driving, lala la la la. It seemed like my morning was going to be the same as every morning this past week, except for the fact that it was dreary and wet. It has been sunny and an all around joy to commute to work for the past couple of days. So getting back to my story, I decided to take a different way to work, the longer way, but what the heck I was early anyway.

So I'm driving, listenting to Tevin Campbell, singing along when he doesn't hit his high parts which is like never. The light turns green, I drive across the intersection, the car infront of my slows down, I slow down and eventually stop. I notice some mail dude running to his car, maybe the reason why the car infront of me stopped. But I know I'm stopped. All of a sudden, BANG! the guy behinds me rear-ends me. I'm surprised, but then again, and again. I'm like what the frick?! Pulling over, I was checking my paint job on my dash, to see if the paint chipped. (funny when you when spend like a lot of time working on something... It can be more important than checking if your still alive) So I pull over to the side of the road, and the other car does too.

I'm like getting the insurance, my palm iii, my license and all the other junk. I open the door, and look back... who do I see? I see my excoworkerwhogotabetterjobatsomeothercompany friend. Totally surprised, I just smile, cracked a couple of jokes, caught up on old times. The 2 other people in the accident who cause my buddie to hit me 2 other times were there too.

We exchanged information and went on our way. Luckily, no one was hurt. Everyone was still ok and still alive and breathing. My car got away with a bumper scratch, the other cars weren't so lucky. They had some folded over bumper and the last car, well lets just say the whole front end can be trashed. What a morning, now I remember why I don't take that route anymore.

Well, I was able to fix up my site, but it took me pretty much a good portion of my evening. Hopefully, you guys and stand me not updating the blog for a day. But I'm back now, almost 1:00 am but still blogging. What can I say I'm an internet addict.

Look I'm next up for a banner!

Oh yea, if anyone here is reading my blog and is from the Vancouver - Seattle area.... I'm organizing a paintball day, It'll be fun.

Whoohooo!!! I finally got the photoalbum page done!

Well, I've done 2 out of the 3 tasks that I wanted to do.

• Update Journal Page
• Put up reconstruction page @ BoogieNet
• Finish Photoalbum redesign

I'm promising myself not to blog until I have the photo album page, and my new journal page done.

Look permanent links!!! whooohooo!

John is going to kill me!

Which reminds me..... SOMEONE *ahemabbie* broke my glasses so I have to get new ones, maybe this weekend.

Oh mayn! Its lunch time already, and I'm only on my first entry. I'm starting to think that I'm not a power blogger anymore *sniff*.

My morning was very similar to Vic's, it was crazy! I woke up late, and without looking at the watch, I just curled up and decided to wait my preset 15 minutes. Until my alarm went off (again, thank God for snooze), I looked and it said 6:30 am. For all you people who don't know me, its a 45 minute drive to work, and I'm usually in by 7:00am. What makes it worse is that I'm not a morning person. I'm soo grumpy! So to make a long story short, I showered and managed not to slip, put my socks on while checking email. Shirt and pants, while S'yncing my palm.

Well heres the reason why I was uplate last night.

• Chewy, my temporary dog
• Me and my friends with a webcam
• My Victoria Day Weekend
• Coming Soon..... my work

According to Abbie, all the good weblogs are maintained by Girls..... whats up with that? (even though Halycon did win the webbies)

Ebert's gone nuts!! Of course the dinosaurs talk, there wouldn't be a story if they wouldn't right?

Plus, its a children's film.... lay off! Jeeze!

Back @ work after the Victoria Day long weekend. I finally got sleep last night, which means I'm not soo tired, what sucks is the fact that its back to the "normal" routine.

I'm also in the process of moving some of my albums to zing.com, I've seen people using this a lot. Looks easy enough.

I need a digital camera, from the amount of pictures that you saw from this weekend (50+). I love to take pictures and show them to people.

Yeap, and another day when I came home late and didn't get anything accomplished. I always thought that the weekend was to rest up because the work week was tiring. Its not like the work week wasn't tiring, but this weekend hasn't been for resting up. My friends and I have been running around, bumming around like crazy. We really don't have anything to do. We just bum around, like you can see in the pictures.

It has been an incredible weekend. We've done soo many things, races, car and music stuff but the most important thing is hanging with your friends.

Now, I think I'm going to collapse back into my bed.

Whoa, I'm chilling here @ home its 10:24 am on my computer clock, tired as heck. I've been getting home @ 1:00 - 3:00 am. I wish I brought the digital camera with me last night. We were house hopping like crazy. I wonder if theres anyone out there that does that. We must've been to 20 different places last night.

I started of yesterday, waking up late and helping my mom. She's painting my old place because they found someone to take it already. I ran down to Western Union to transfer some money for abbie. What I can't understand why Money Mart doesn't have the Western Union logo with it? I must've circled the block 5 times until I decided to go into Money Mart to find out where Western Union is.

In the skytrain there was a drunk guy hanging around and he accidentally stepped on this lady's toes. They got into a shouting match, and other people stepped in to stop it. But it turned into a totally crazy scene, the skytrain security came in. The funny part was the security dude, had a beer with him as well. It was pretty crazy. Not bad for taking the skytrain once every 3 months.

Watched the Michael Jordan Movie @ imax, wish I could play basketball. I think I'm the only filipino who's totally uncoordinated with b-ball. But after the movie, we went back to surrey via skytrain, and everyone except for a couple of people played b-ball in the rain. I guess thats what happens when you watch about a thousand of Michael Jordan's famous shots. It was like a big commercial for Michael Jordan the Legend.

After Church, me and prolific (aka Paulo) headed down to the SFC General Assembly. Ummm, I could say a couple of things about it but I won't. Lets just say I didn't even stay one hour. Ended up going to Denny's with Trish, John (aka Dynamic), and Paulo. Hummmmm "Moons over my Hammy" Good!!!

Eating, Eating and more Eating.... Then over to Janice's (which is also Justin's) House, Watched MAD TV, and a little bit of SNL. I swear, I find funny girls soo pretty (I love the girls of SNL and MAD).

After a couple of phone calls from Jaime, headed down to Matt's (aka Prolific) house. Chilled there for a bit, then had to drive Paulo and John home. Then I got home. This was about 2:00 am, well you know what?! @ least we didn't end up hanging out at the parking lot of Lois Lanes.

I'm just having sooooo much fun.

Oh man, I can't beleive what happens when 5 bored friends hang our, especially when they have an interest in cars. yeap.... thats the way to do it....yeap!

Man, I overslept, I can't beleive how many things I have to do today.... I didn't even get to watch digimon

So cause I'm a biter (copycat, yea yea I'll admit it) ,so presenting..... @ macapinlac.com, The Top 10 Things that You guys probably didn't know about Ritchie

1. Believes that underwear can be worn 4 times on 4 different days by inverting and flipping it over.
2. Has a room too small to hold all his stuff
3. Drinks bottled water, but refills them on the tap
4. Is a chat addict, irc icq, aim, im, bantu.... you name it i chat on it
5. A Trekkie, and even has a klingon costume, went to conventions and has the autograph of Michael Dorn (Worf)
6. An Alien from 10 galaxys away
7. Still keeps a copy of, The Simpsons Sing the blues tape by his bed
8. Loves the color yellow, only the really really really bright, I can see you from a satellite shade
9. Buys all of his clothes at the discounted rack @ the GAP
10. Eats Japanese food like normal people breathe air

You know what I noticed, I seem to be blogging more these days, I don't really have anything to say. But I ramble on and on and on.....(10 minutes later)... and on, well yea you guys get the picture. I'm really a pretty boring guy (but no reason to stop reading my weblog), I try to be interesting. On tuesday, I get to borrow a dvd of BladeRunner. Out of all the "techie" movies out there this is like the one that I never saw. But I'll see it on tuesday, I'll even write a movie review about it, how you guys feel about that? Well I guess you guys can't answer, so yea why am I expecting you guys to answer? But you don't have to reply, just don't send me the ILOVEU virus or anything else that kinda does that. Cause I don't like that.... nope nope no I don't. Its hard for me. I don't even think I have anti-virus software to do that. Hold up.....<mental_note>get norton antivirus installed</mental_note> so yea now that I've made a mental note of this whole event already, email me call me (number's on the right side).

My friend just messaged me about FUBAR!!! yea!! I wanna go. Just cause I haven't gone clubbing in a while. I'm not that bad, I don't get drunk.... but I am drunk on LIFE! dang that didn't make ANY sense. Should I still KEEP TYPING WITH THE CAPS ON?! but that means yelling right?

Theres a guy that keeps coming into the office trying to repair the thermostat, dang..... holy, can we say talk a lot? but I guess I'm bad as well, cause you might be saying that I do that too.... well you know what!? its not the same cause I'm TYPING!!!! hehehehehe

told you guys I ramble on and on and on and on......

Vic and I have come to the conclusion that today is a NYUH kinda day!

404?! Interesting Design..... its very unique, different, I think I can lose myself in it (get it? page not found....404, c'mon throw me a life line here!).

I keep thinking about last night and how I screwed up the wav file. *note to self: always work with the BACK-UP not the ORIGINAL

John, if your reading this..... I messed up man, we should make a new wav file.

She lets me bug her when I'm bored. Knows Friends trivia like the back of her hand. Smart like a fox too. I'll get another wav file for ya :)

I had some cool wav files for everyone with me and my friend john singing. The converter screwed up the wav file now its all yucky, and I can't convert it without there being some static (really loud) noise in the background.

She has the most interesting (weird) dreams. I can't remember my dreams, but if I do, I'll blog it for all the readers.

To extend this post a bit more.... lets ponder this......(taken from an internal message board @ work)

If a cat always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped it falls butter side down. What would happen if we strapped a peice of toast on a cats back (butter side up)? The 2 opposing forces would cause this "structure" to hover, inches of the ground. A good sized cat-buttered toast array, could form the basis of a high speed monorail system.

Ok lets take out the toast (to save money) and just directly butter the cat's back. Given that: p = s * t(t)/tc where:

• p - probability of carpet impacts is the "stain" value of the toast-covering substance - an indicator of the affectiveness of the toast topping in permanently staining the carpet.
• tc and t(t) indicate the tone of the carpet and topping
• s - constant(Chicken Tikka Masala, for example, has a very high s value, while the s value of water is zero.)

So to conclude.....if you use chicken tikka masala and a white carpet - in fact this combination gives a p value of one, which is the same as the probability of a cat landing on its feet. Therefore a cat with chicken tikka masala on its back will be certain to hover in mid air, while there could be problems with buttered toast as the toast may fall off the cat, causing a terrible monorail crash resulting in nauseating images of members of the royal family visiting accident victims in hospital, and politicians saying it wouldn't have happened if their party was in power as there would have been more investment in cat-toast glue research.

Therefore it is in the interests not only of public safety but also public sanity if the buttered toast on cats idea is scrapped, to be replaced by a monorail powered by cats smeared with chicken tikka masala floating above a rail made from white shag pile carpet

so the filipino version of Yahoo.... Yehey!!

Ok theres an IRC channel for bloggers? why didn't anyone tell me? :(

I'm listening to theconnection where they're interviewing ev, brad and rebecca (although I haven't heard her). Kinda got me started to think what I use this blog for. All I know I have a few people who read this, I try to keep them interested. I guess this is like my personal recycling bin and closet.

*giggle* I blog when I don't feel like sharing my thoughts to "real" people.

Performance monitor is really crappy when it takes up 1/4 of your screen *cross your fingers, eh dave?*.

I'm totally inspired by this site, keep a blog for the world to see, then you have no excuse for not working out.

And the first blog of the day, goes to team-swollen! I really hate underconstruction pages, even when I'm the one that made it.

Oh no!!! I missed the last episode of 90210!! I lied I caught the last part, what is it with the slow version of a TV show's theme songs thats soo sad :( *sniff*

I'm watching Christina Aguilera on Much Music, I *heart* her!

I don't think I'm ever going to get sick of this commercial, and all the parodies out there, including the latest one! I almost cracked up laughing my head of when Ben Brown popped up.

I wonder how many of my relatives read my site.... *wonder*

The next thing to bring down the pentagon's systems: Clippy.

Kid Rock aka Bob Ritchie is dead! All because of this. Just thought that his real name was funny as well.

Still thinking? sing? what do you think?

Happy 50th Birthday Daddy!!

I've done it! A javascript journal menu. To all the people who know me, I hate maintenance. I love the idea of plunking in some pictures and have it magically appear in an index, in this case, just write everything and have all the navigation layed out for me. Wanna see? Click Here

Hopefully, when I get time later on this week, most likely Thursday. I will be working on redesigining my journal page to have some navigation. While I'm at it, maybe the front page as well. I HATE frames, I don't even know why I used them in this design. Its terrible!!

Hopefully I can start phasing it out, slowly.

Damn, I took a look @ my webcam this morning and it seems to be just bright light. Sorry everyone, until I get blinds or curtians in my room, this will happen!

Alright everyone, with a little help from Victor, I have updated the poll on the front page of this site. Check it out and vote!

Oh man, I was watching friends and it was when Rachel told Ross that she still loved him, even when Ross was married. I guess it was a good scene. Ummmmm yea. Sad? Well, I can relate.

OK, ranting time...... one of my very big pet peeves is when this happens.

person1: hey you going to the movies?
person2: why? who's going?
person1: what do you mean who's going? person 3 and crew 1 is.
person2: really? wow, I didn't know about that.
person1: well well, they told me they called you.
person2: really? nope sorry, no call here.
*uncomfortable silence*

This is sooo funny, Hey I wish I had more traffic to this blog. But I'm not ready to expose a nipple to do it.

Lasara get some sleep!!!

Southpark is the best, Matrix is the best.... what do you get when you put them together?

<src="Zannah">

I'm still thinking of entering this contest, just to get my voice up on the web :) hehhehehe like I have a nice voice and like kellea said, @ least your blog will get lots of hits.

Another saga to the Metallica vs. Napster, this is soo funny though!

Ben Brown has an incredible sense of style, well I wouldn't go for the leather cuffs, but I like the transformers stuff.

Happy Mothers Day Mom

I love you!

better late than never

Well, well, tonight is the night of our performance. Hopefully, I can get a copy of it from our dj (arsin) yea yea!

wish us all good luck, i have to get ready for a sound check

The web logger community seems to be getting a lot of publicity lately. So better start getting some traffic to my site, or pull some big promotion.

I would like to take some space on this 'blog to congratulate and give pyra a big pat on the back for the code optimization of blogger.

So I hope you Netscape users like the revised version of this. No more horizontal scroll bar, although the text is still small. (I'll get on it)

and.... I've used blogger to allow me to update the right hand column of the page as well.

what does this mean? more more more updates?!

Whoa I'm number 17 (cause I'm updating this like crazy today), but people don't click on my link.

Finally showed up, man.... how many times do I have to blog this thing?!

New Blogger soon to come - like the intro Vic?

Metallica Sucks!!! I'm so sick of hearing about these guys. Yea fine, you write your own songs and you feel like your being robbed from? WELL how abou all the other artists on Napster? Do you hear them complaining? Man, chill out, go with the flow. I wonder how long it'll take me to be popular, if I release a song on Napster?

I was driving down to work and listening to the radio, and I heard that freekin Roger Ebert gave "BattleField Earth" 1/2 star or of four.

The guy went on saying that Roger said: "it was a waste of money hiring John Travolta, because you couldn't even recognize him behind the gobs of make-up"

I'm sitting there thinking, how mean can a this dude be? I mean, John Travolta is obviosly a good actor and like us, webdevelopers, flop once in a while. We're all allowed @ least 1 flop right? Who hasn't started of designing that page with everything encolsed in <center> tags and used the dreaded <H1>Hello World</h1>? We're allowed to make flops. Its only natural, I mean we're not God right? Dang short fat guy should lay off, when all he watches are those foreign films on Showcase that always has some sort of porn in them trying to justify how to get paid to watch movies on a daily basis by bashing big production films like this one (which I find entertaining).

But what surprises me is the fact that people wouldn't form their own opinion of the movie, they'd just listen to this guy who obviously is pretty anal about his movie selections. Remember they did screw up on Ace Ventura, and that was crazy funny.

congratualtions to halycon, I like his site, hey I'm actually part of collegeclub way to go.

His Acceptance Speech : "Let's play feel the love."

Maybe next year christine

just @ work.... this is what happens when you go to sleep @ 2, right vic?

off to work.....

And the next step, is to create a napster clone that distributes metallica music only! oh its already done.

Hey look, a response on the same day, I've been added to the color wheel!

Thanks Kevin

Webtrends sucks, 200 manual file moves too! I can't wait to go home and its only 9:30 am.

Man, this sucks all I was doing when I was 9 years old was taking a lotus 123 spreadsheet course, what a couple of geeks. And they proclaim it on national TV!

I wanna learn XML!

C'mon guys :(

1-888-561-3102 mail box # 1126

Sing, Dance, I don't care (well, just don't hang up ok?) say something make me feel that people are reading this thing :)

I can't beleive this guy, how can your do this? This is impossible!

Another thing that I've was thinking while I was eating breakfast, but I forgot, I was gonna blog it but oh wells.

and last night, I got home pretty late so I couldn't do the things that I wanted to do. Only My.Journal (click on the link 2 the bottom of the page). I've gotten good feedback on this site from all you readers out there. Although, the "My.Blog" page design I'm still not happy with, I hope I can change it to a more Netscape friendly version. I'll fix it, and watch out everyone. My friends and I have registered a new domain, its soo over! I think the focus of the site will be more focused on us as a group of friends and some bios, plus of course, our cars not that are cars are fast or nice looking but we still love them.

and yea I would like to give a shoutout to, ebribadi out dere who ish redding dis.

uummm dumb!! from Zannah

Someone reminded me of my childhood obsession with swimming.

hey look, I put my horrific airline story in fray.

Ok, I'm filipino (if the pictured doesn't give it away) and truthfully, the laws in the philippines are soo bad, the officials soo corrupt that this guy would get arrested and get out the next day by slipping the guard a 50 peso bill, which is like 2 dollars (canadian), .00001 dollars american and tooooo small to compute in pounds.

I know this has probably been blogged before, but I gotta work on my blogging skillz :)

Wonder if I can represent canada? hehhehe

Get your tools, soldering iron and your USB external hard-drive, this baby is coming apart. Maybe I can run a small linux server on this puppy <bitten src="vannet">

Ok, I just actually just read that post, and I almost laughed my head off. Its not true, I'm more of the goofy laugh my head out loud type rather than the "elegant, strong character" type

Whats your *colour?!

I don't know if this is accurate but for all the readers who want to know a bit about me....

Your color is BLACK. The color of night. Serene and mysterious. Black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns and dashing tuxedos. Traditionally a symbol of success, black represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. You have a strength of character that is second to none. You most likely set challenging goals for yourself, and do whatever it takes to achieve them. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Black is the color of professionalism and achievement. It's clearly the color for you.

and anything else, email me....join the contest below too

* canadian eh?

Who has the smaller ICQ number? me? as you can see on my contact info on the right side of this page, I am in the 1000000, I know thats high but its lower than some people. Just wondering, maybe I'll do a contest to see who has the lowest ICQ number. E-Mail Me and I'll start posting up the winners soon.

Microsoft support sucks, they tell us to move to another version of MDAC and the server starts to crash more. Right now, I'm chilling waiting for help desk to start whining about how our intranet is down (again, kidding).

and for all you tech heads out there....

but i'm sure all you hard-core coders knew how to do this already

and for all you retro-gamers, pong 2000 in flash!

Ohh, I want one, a bit more expensive than the ones that I used to have but I still want one!!

Hummmm looks like something I used to know as y2k. Too bad I didn't go out and buy a million kegs of water.

I know this page looks weird in netscape (@ least for the mac), I'll fix it soon... Thanks Victor (when you getting a blog).

no matter how hard I try, I can't write long blogs.

And I know theres some geek in the world out there that knows all of these by heart. (and NO I don't know them all)

I'm in a blah and zzzz mood, but my back is ouch. I guess thats why I just chill and do nuttin today.

Riddle: how do you fit the contents of a townhouse back into one small a$$ room?!?! (if anyone has any suggestions mail me)

This is my last post before I move back. It was fun being alone, now I need some company :)

Well, look whos up at 1:11 am. Seems I've been chilling with Victor a lot. Don't stress out too much Victor, and I'll get this blog fixed in netscape man. Thats why you use IE. But Yea i'll get it fixed.

I'm actually trying to get my sticker for my paintball gun case up, I'll post it up. Hopefully I won't get in too much trouble.

I don't even come close (mine was 131) That totally sucks!

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls step right up to see the......First ever Water Cooler Cam

Also on a totally different note, I bought a case for my paintball gun (I love it!) and I'm moving back home this weekend cause they're selling the place.

This Blog is for Dave and John:

Ritchie's Brain: uummmm duuhh! (translation: Ritchie wanna go home!)

Sometimes, leave me alone means leave me alone! Whats so hard to get?!

You are number 1 on my list, initial shock of bad news can be really bad and disorienting. I always find time to listen.

I've been in a pretty crappy mood lately, I think my co-workers can vouch for that. Thanks for being patient guys (and girls).

Decided to sleep in today, too bad that I forgot that I didn't renew my parking pass and I had to park on the street where its a first-come first-served basis. Good thing that I found parking still (being the cheap fool that I am and not willing to spend the 1.50$ for parking). I also had to bolt it down 2 blocks to the office (cause it was raining, and I was late already). Being in my current physical shape and condition, I don't think my body can handle this!

Well, redesigned this blog hope everyone likes it. I'm not really that happy with it. I don't like the color. There should be some yellow in there somewhere. But I was able to sneak in some orange.

Bare with me as the rest of the blog pages, the archive and the about section gets developed.

Victor and I have been naming the moods we've been in for the past couple of days.

for example: Yesterday, feeling down so it was "blah"
Today, pissed off @ the world so its "grrrr", although Victor, is sleeppy so he's "zzzzzzz" but he said that hes in an "uuummm" mood

@ Paintball:

Melo: Yea man, those poor kids. I just sent them up the path and told them to run.
Ritchie: Didn't you know that Archie and I were there just waiting?
Melo: Yea, but I didn't know exactly where you were.
Ritchie: hehehhe, so typically you just sent them up there to get shot. We totally unloaded on them.
Melo: heheh yea, but don't tell them that, I just wanted to know where you guys were.
Ritchie: hehehe meanie!

I'm sitting infront of the computer again,

• worrying about stuff
• more stuff
• Waiting for laundry
• desperately waiting for someone to come online in icq

Sooooooo bored..... listening to depressing slow jams....

ok tired like crazy, a million things to do but I had to blog this, now you can kill your own celebrity.

Well, Monday means back to work. @ least for some of us (well me). I was showering this morning and I noticed I have welts galore! Don't worry they don't hurt as much, just looks painful. Maybe I can get some sympathy from girls.

I just noticed that I used <a href="mailto:ritchie@macapinlac.com"> a lot, thats cause I like getting email.
