the saga continues…

Huli ka!

Madaming ganitong pulis sa maynila, dapat magkabit na rin ng ganyang billboard dito.

Akala ko si Randy Santiago lang ang pwede… hmm…

In the late 1980’s in Shanghai, a notorious, cunning man named Lee San lived by thieving.  He was a superb and highly skilled thief who had never been caught and boasted that he could steal whatever he wanted.

One day he was wandering in the street, searching for target.  Wang Wu, a friend, called out to him: “Lee, guess what? I have great news.  A certain family has just received a few thousand dollars.  They are an old couple and I know where their house is.”

“Aha!” Lee San laughed.  “I’ll take this on tonight.”

“But they have a big and ferocious wolf dog, so you may have a problem.”

Lee San replied, “So what? It’s just a stupid dog.  Don’t underestimate my skill!”

It was a pitch-dark night, and the wind was howling.  Lee San took his tools and headed straight for the street where the old couple lived.  When he arrived, he saw a big lantern hung high at the gate of the house.  He began moving in, softly and quietly, when suddenly, a dog began barking.  Lee San saw a huge dog behind the gate and quickly threw it a piece of poisonous meat.  A few seconds later the dog fell on the ground.  Lee San stealthily opened the gate.  He went up to the door, opened it, and made his way quickly to the bedroom where he found the money under the pillow.  “This was so easy,” Lee San thought.  “They have so much money yet they don’t have a vault to secure it.  Are they stingy?”

The he heard voices in the next room.  The old woman and her husband were talking.  Lee stayed where he was and listened carefully to make sure they hadn’t heard him.

“Old fellow, should we spend some money to hire a maid to take care of us? Both of us are blind and old, so how will we survive as time passes?”  It was the weary voice of an old woman.

Lee San was surprised.  If they were blind, why had they put up a big lantern in front of their gate?

“Oh yes, my dear, you are right.  But where can we find the money to hire a maid? replied an old man.

“Didn’t we just get a few thousand dollars for the loss of our son in that accident? Why don’t we use that money?”

“Are you crazy, wife? Don’t you remember that we decided to donate that money to build an orphange? Did you forget?”

Listening, Lee San grew uneasy.

“Oh, oh, yes.  See how bad my memory is! I had forgotten.  I’m getting old and useless.  Still, we could save money by not buying oil for the lamp, and we could sell our dog Ding Ding.”

“But we must light the way for other people on the street.  The street has no light and people who travel in the evening can’t see their way in the dark.  And if Ding Ding is here, then people no longer have to fear bandits or thieves when they come down the street.”

“You’re right,” said the old woman, “It’s too bad we didn’t have another son when we were still young.”  The old woman sighed.  “But never mind.  Let’s get back to work.  We still have stacks of paper boxes to be pasted together.”

Lee San sneaked quietly outside.  Then, sitting down in front of the gate, he began to sob.  He himself was an orphan who had been adopted and later escaped from his violent stepfather and uncaring family.

The following morning, two things were left at the door of the old couple’s house-the money and an exquisite vault.

After that, no one ever saw Lee San again.  He disappeared like a small cloud.  Someone said that he entered a monastery and others that he became a Buddhist.  Still others said that he became a philanthropist.  In any case, a few years later, several orphanages and homes for the elderly were built in the name of Lee San.

Got these photos from pinoypsp. Yes, they’re uber funny.

E kasi nga naman, may elepante e…

May point siya ha…

May kilala akong ganito… tsk tsk, ang pumiyok, obvious.

Napasama sa masamang barkada… tsk tsk…

Wheeee…. ouuuchhh….

Just a week before my birthday, Charlene was so eager to give me her gift. Of course, with her being giddy… I was so curious what she is giving me.  And the gift was… drum roll please!

a happy birthday message bean.

Char! thanks! if you could just imagine my anticipation. Akala ko di na mag gegerminate yung seed.  By this time it’s about a foot tall already.

Last night, while I was “half-asleep, half awake”, strange ideas keeps popping in my mind.  I know some of you can make a fortune out of this. In any case I wanna share them with you.  If patent issues arise, this will prove that I was the first one who thought of it… I deserve the royalty! hehe

_ Bank robbery all over the Philippines! Inventors out there, why not create a money bill that has a sensor where it can be detected with GPS tracking?  ~dream sequence~

ROBBER : “GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY, GADDAMIT!”
BANK TELLER : “Here you go… *sob sob* (the bank teller gives all the money including the one with the GPS sensor).

The police wouldn’t have a reason for the robbers not to be caught. I’m pretty sure that with the technology that we have nowadays, this is not impossible.  I hope to see this in the near future.

-Global warming… Is anybody out there selling “We plant a tree on your behalf”?  I know everyone of us wants to help the environment, plant trees, blah blah blah… So, let’s get started? No? Many of us wouldn’t even lift a finger to start digging. Pure commercialism, I know, but why not? for the environment… at least you’re spared from the guilt.  “Planted trees, 3 for 100″, any takers?
