Baboy

Ha! Nagtaka pa ko kung bakit ako tumataba. HAY!!!

I always diet when I want to lose weight. By 'diet' I meant eating less of everything I eat. I don't follow South Beach/Atkins/etc. Seriously, I will not survive on tofu, eggwhites, poached chicken, lettuce, or any of those blah food. Papayat ka nga, madedepress ka naman dahil sa kinakain mo. Dati naman nagwowork ang dieting for me (well, except for the time I overdid it and got anorexic :P). Ngayon though, I have absolutely no discipline sa food intake ko :( Pano ba naman kung may mga ganito:
  • Chicharritos - Also known as "Cholesterol in a Pouch". I don't know how to say no to yummy chicharon >_<

  • Kinder Bueno, Sarotti, Ritter Sport - Ah.. the chocolates from our expats / coordinators are SOOO YUMMY!! I noticed that most of the chocolates from Germany have fillings inside. Most of them have this creamy white chocolate thinly covered by brown chocolate. I really loved Sarotti Nostalgie Edition - it easily melts in your mouth and it's not overpowering. (Gah.. I'm not good at describing things >< )

  • Circles - We had this team dinner at Shangri-la's buffet restaurant. I was such a glutton!!! There was so much food that I want to eat! For the main course, I took a lil bit of everything which appealed to me. With the desserts though, everything was just mouth-watering!!! The chocolate fountain, creme brulee, cheesecakes, souffles.. X_X Sobrang baboy ko talaga. I was burping all the way from Makati to Antipolo sa sobrang katakawan...

  • Tostillas -I just have to buy a bag of these chips when I see them in the grocery :9

  • Javanilla - The only thing I order at Seattle's Best! Yummy goodness :9

  • Coffee crumble - I scream ICE CREAM!!!!

  • Inihaw na isaw, tenga ng baboy, balat ng baboy, etc - nyeta... kaya ako nagiging baboy e.

  • Kwek-kwek - I heard somewhere that one quail egg has twice the calorie content as that of a regular chicken egg. Great... X_X
Kung nawawala na talaga ang disiplina ko sa pagkain, mas lalong wala akong disciplne mag-exercise. Good luck sa Palawan/Bohol/Bora outting namin -_-

06.06.06

Ang scary ng date :( I tried to research about this number and I got this
result from Bible Gateway:
Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

Revelation 13:16-18

O_o Okay.... Ang masasabi ko lang dyan ay: Kung bad ang day na ito, mas bad ba yung moment kaninang 6 seconds and 6 minutes after 6AM? How about nung June 6 nung 6 A.D? Ah basta... Basta alam ko love tayo ni Lord, kahit anong oras. God bless everyone! Pagpalain nawa tayong lahat!

Top 10 Commandments of Egoless Programming

To all the bull-headed, self-righteous, egoistic, know-it-all programmers out there, here's something for you:

Top 10 Commandments of Egoless Programming

  1. Understand and accept that you will make mistakes.
    The point is to find them early, before they make it into production. Fortunately, except for the few of us developing rocket guidance software at JPL, mistakes are rarely fatal in our industry, so we can, and should, learn, laugh, and move on.

  2. You are not your code. Remember that the entire point of a review is to find problems, and problems will be found. Don't take it personally when one is uncovered.

  3. No matter how much "karate" you know, someone else will always know more. Such an individual can teach you some new moves if you ask. Seek and accept input from others, especially when you think it's not needed.

  4. Don't rewrite code without consultation. There's a fine line between "fixing code" and "rewriting code." Know the difference, and pursue stylistic changes within the framework of a code review, not as a lone enforcer.

  5. Treat people who know less than you with respect, deference, and patience. Non-technical people who deal with developers on a regular basis almost universally hold the opinion that we are prima donnas at best and crybabies at worst. Don't reinforce this stereotype with anger and impatience.

  6. The only constant in the world is change. Be open to it and accept it with a smile. Look at each change to your requirements, platform, or tool as a new challenge, not as some serious inconvenience to be fought.

  7. The only true authority stems from knowledge, not from position. Knowledge engenders authority, and authority engenders respect—so if you want respect in an egoless environment, cultivate knowledge.

  8. Fight for what you believe, but gracefully accept defeat. Understand that sometimes your ideas will be overruled. Even if you do turn out to be right, don't take revenge or say, "I told you so" more than a few times at most, and don't make your dearly departed idea a martyr or rallying cry.

  9. Don't be "the guy in the room." Don't be the guy coding in the dark office emerging only to buy cola. The guy in the room is out of touch, out of sight, and out of control and has no place in an open, collaborative environment.

  10. Critique code instead of people—be kind to the coder, not to the code. As much as possible, make all of your comments positive and oriented to improving the code. Relate comments to local standards, program specs, increased performance, etc.
