. A problem with the dilithium crystals? I drive a 1990 Nissan Sentra. When I go to work, I start the engine, turn on the radio and wait for the engine to warm-up. Then I turn on the aircon and head-off to work. When I go home, I start the engine, drive out of the basement carpark, then switch on the aircon-- and then, I switch on the radio. After driving down a couple of block, the radio sputters and spits out white noise and then just dies. So, I drive home in silence. The next morning, I start the engine, turn on the radio-- AND IT WORKS AGAIN! So, any electrical engineers out there who might have a theory on what's wrong with my car? Of course, my brother would immediately say, "It simple means, it's time to buy a new car!" This reminds me of the story of the car that was allergic to vanilla ice cream. (which I found by Googling the words " car engine vanilla ice cream ") Seems like it's a really famous story. Click here if you want to read it. Oh, a

. Tick-Talk Grace texted: A friend woke me up hapi abt new Rolex. I just realizd what's d generation's Rolex? What product today will stand d so called "test of time"? what's r chocnut? I replied: Don't know. Wth today's Baby-G's and Swatch watches, seems like kids arent interestd in what will last, but more with what looks great on them now. Decided to forward Grace's text and get Mark's take on it. Mark texted: None. Everything is meta. Diamonds r artificially priced. All marketing. Everything is in planned obsolesence. Why pay 4 a 20k watch when nxt month theres a new model? After a while sent one more text: Only love lasts. :) Nakanaman!

. TOP 10 VIDEOS Based on Music One and Tower Records videos sales from February 1, 2005 to January 27, 2005. 1. Asia Agcaoili's SEX GURU 2. Exotic Belly Dancing 3. Imelda 4. House of Flying Daggers 5. Meet the Parents 6. White Chicks 7. Magnifico 8. Catwoman 9. Man on Fire 10. Passion of the Christ Looking at the list, it seems like they gathered their info by travelling back in time. How can this be the record of videos sales from February to January? Maybe Music1 and Tower use a different kind of calendar. Maybe it's a musical calendar? It seems like lots of Pinoys got the "Sex Guru" and "Exotic Bellydancing" videos in order to prepare for their Valentines dates. Later on, they felt guilty they ever went on that date and decided to get "Passion of the Christ". Then there were the poor saps who decided to get "Catwoman". Why? WHY?! Would would they do something stupid like that? Maybe they couldn't get any dates during V-day and jus

. My mom hoped that her second child would be a girl. That’s why she was planning to name her Franchesa-Bernadette, I honor of her two best friends. As fate would have it, her second child turned out to be a boy. And that’s why he got named Francis-Bernard. My dad’s favorite drink, til the day he died, was Fundador Brandy. That’s what he usually drank when he got home at night, while watching TV and smoking his cigarettes. He’d take a sip of brandy and a sip from his tall glass of water. And that’s why Francis-Bernard got the nickname Brandie. When we were kids, my mom would always point out to guests that Brandie’s a Taurus and I’m a Scorpio and that’s why we’ll always clash. Maybe it was because I kept hearing that spiel over and over again and that’s why I didn’t want Brandie around me. (Or maybe baby brothers always have that amazing power to annoy you-- at whatever age.) Anyway, I remember the times when I’d try to keep him out of the playroom so I can have all the toys to myself
