This one really took me out of hibernation:
Law Firm Uses Copyright Claim To Say You Can't View Its Website's HTML Source.
Sounds silly? Most definitely!
Or maybe, as one user commented, they just want to drive visitors to their site.
In any case, this got me laughing out loud. Ok, so maybe not everything posted online is fair game. But a good handful is. And that definitely includes the HTML codes.
You can read the details here and here's their User Agreement. Be careful though, you might get sued... hehehe
A quick Google search came up with even more: here's one for starters...
...and another...

Hmm... It's been a year and no update yet. Seems my other s3lf dont feel like ranting no more.
Updated the Whois page though. Worked a few kinks in the formats. Fixed a number of links.
How about you, quo vadis?

During the jackpot round of a local noontime gameshow, some call center dude missed his chance to win One Million Pesos. And it could'nt be any more irritating... His question was far from difficult. In fact, it's common knowledge in the call center industry!
His question? Name six (lemme stress that, just S-I-X!) words used in the (NATO) Phonetic Alphabet! It could'nt get any easier!
All he needed to give out are these simple words: A - Alfa (Alpha)! B - Bravo! C- Charlie! Etc! X-(
Maybe it's just me. And I'm far from perfect. But why is it that the stupid ones get the easy life?!

Luc Cagadoc, a Filipino kid living in Roxboro, Canada, has been harassed and insulted multiple times by the lunch monitor (lizard. My apologies for insulting the lizard.) at his school because he eats with 2 utensils: a spoon and a fork.
When his mother complained, the school principal, Norman Bergeron said, "Madame, you are in Canada. Here in Canada you should eat the way Canadians eat."
�Mommy, I don�t want to eat anymore,� says Luc last April 11. �My teacher is telling me that eating with a spoon and fork is yucky and disgusting.�

I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but we must live with a character.

The celebration is supposed to mark this Country's freedom from a 14-year tyrannical rule (NOT the man's fault, I tell you... It's that woman's. But that's a different story.)
Instead, what happens is the Country is thrown into panic, made worse by 1017. Then scavengers left and right start lunging and chowing down on each other's throat. Even the Church pitches in and take sides, adding insult to injury.
Wotta bunch of eeedeeeots.
No offense meant to any of them, there are a lot of good ones out there. But they are outspoken. The idea is supposed for them to work together for a common good and ignore any personal gain. As always, they constantly and completely prove it wrong.

Aaahhh... Christmas once again! Savor the Yuletide blessings. Feels so good to be alive... Until a distinguished-looking citizen, around 65 years old or so, disrupted my breakfast at a local fastfood joint.
He notices the newspaper I'm reading and asks if it's being offered to customers for free. I explained that it is for free when you purchase a peach pie (not a bad trade methinks).
He then goes, "Everything has a catch, eh?" I replied with a smile while he went on saying, "I pity the poor people of this country. This place will definitely go to the dogs. It's hopeless."
"Why so?", I ask. He says, that unlike in the US of A, the Philippines is full of corruption and everything has a price. He even complained that his wristwatch got nicked when he left it on the a local resto's table to use the washroom. (Duh?!) And goes on praising the American lifestyle, and how much he earns.
The old man could'nt take a hint when I kept on ignoring his attempts for a conversation (primarily because I felt like axing him).
"Why don't you work in the US?"
"I prefer not to."
"Why not?"
"You would not wanna know." And a semi-sarcastic smile.
I wonder if he feels like he did his folks proud...

I've realized that life is full of contradictions.
Sometimes it's crazy to be sane.
You need to fall to fly.
People suffer because you care.
You have to unlearn to know the lesson.
You have to give up because you're strong.
You have to be wrong to make things right.
Nonetheless, life's complexities are also life's source of beauty.
We should cry to laugh again.
Fall apart to be whole again.
And get hurt to love again...

People change no matter how hard they try not to. As you grow older, you mature. And with each new level of maturity comes different ideas, different needs, and wants. The person who was perfect for you at 20 could be the person that you hate when you're 35.
Find someone who will grow with you, change with you, and cry with you. A person who fills in what you lack; a person whom you can fill in when they are lacking.
But what about the perfect person? He/she does not exist. There are no perfect people, only people who are perfect for wach other.

Today's local news: Joint military exercise between the Philippines and the United States. The exercise mainly concentrated on paratrooping.
Question is: does the Philippine Air Farce, I mean, Force even exists?!

Death arrives a million ways.
To some, it may be the banshee's silent scream;
To others, an angel's soothing touch;
To another, an endless fall thru a void;
Whilst to the next, the bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Death arrives a million ways. Mine arrived the day she bid farewell.
(inspired by Hale's The Day You Said Goodnight)

"The pain!", He cried. "I cant stand it anymore!"
He lifts his head and turned around.
His was a contorted mask of pain and anger,
His lips a dry, cracked line,
Tears of blood ran from his eyes,
His eyes as black as coal, without the faintest flicker of life.
And as I stared into the eyes of a mad man,
I saw myself staring right back.

Women.
They make you commit then break your heart. Not satisfied, they get a hammer and start pounding what little remains of your pride into p-i-e-c-e-s. And keep on pounding. And pounding. And pounding. And pounding. Then they smile like an imp while hopping and dancing around your sorry carcass.
Women. You cant live with 'em. You cant live without 'em.
NOT! hweehehehe

Aaaaargh!!! Such a cruel world! I missed SW: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith's last full show by a mere 5 minutes!? Crap. You just gotta hate it when your job seem to eat every single second that lets you relax. It will drive the urbanity out of you.
I suppose I have to satisfy myself with hearsay and online images.
For now... hehehe

I was watching a local noontime gameshow yesterday when one bitch got my blood boiling.
The host was collecting donations from various balikbayans when a stuck-up bimbo hands him a five and says, "Here's US$5.00 for the POOR people of the Philippines."
Who does she think she is?! And who is she calling poor?! Just because she was land her stinking little foot in some foreign soil doesnt mean she's any less Filipino!
Off with her head!

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground, held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter --- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it.
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

Welcome to ragnarokk1977-studios.ph version 2.1! I have added edited some of the pages' formats and took off some at the same time. The most noticable of which is that the main page now has a framed section where I can easily rant all I want, any time, any day. hehehe
I have updated My Pages. I have also separated the mature-oriented entries on the Journals' page. I'm still working on the Downloads and Links section section though.

"Here I sit, broken-hearted, trying to shit but just farted." *
Ain't life a stinker? One minute your life is on the roll, the next minute it piles up on you.
Lesson learned? Always look out for Number One. Being nice does not always count. What matters is that you come up on top. Someone told me I will not get anywhere with all the anger I'm bottled inside. Heck! My rage is all I've got.
And it's all the fuel that I'll ever need to keep me going.
* From Stephen King's short story, All That You Love Will Be Carried Away.
