Hurrah

They've got a new physician in the midst. Frij's youngest sister passed the recent Physician Licensure Examination (requires Adobe Acrobat). Another doctor to add to the clan's list. Hurrah for a job well done! This calls for a double celebration.

Naheeda

Its about time his "stuff" gets legalized....


Maya's youngest sister gets married tomorrow. Another eventful week, hopefully...

Life's A Joke

Life is really a joke....


First off, Frij just came in to work to realize that he will no longer be able to visit the BT on a regular basis since
*@&%^# work decided to label the forum as "games" and had it filtered. One life down the weekday drain. These are the days he just feels like kicking someone.....Ben if you're seeing this, tell the guys Frij will be gone for a while....major bummer!


Second, having heard the song "High" numerous times it was only this weekend he realized that The Speaks are OPM (Original Pinoy Music) after hearing Barbie Almabis' duet with the band which lead to trigerring his curiosity. Now he can only wonder if Blake has heard of the band...

On a lighter note, the music play buttons seems to be working on both browsers (IE and FF) now, though there seems to be a difference between http://www.thefrij.blogspot.com and http://thefrij.blogspot.com on Firefox.


So this week Frij features this great song from The Speaks






Life's A Joke
Album - Life's A Joke

Verse 1:

The clouds are out today, inside I'm losing
I think it's funny but it's not amusing
It's just a little thing that I'm abusing
I pray for sanity but I'm not gonna lose it

Verse 2:

You want to worship me, I am an illusion
You give me sympathy but I'll never use it
It's just a little thing that I'm abusing
I pray for sanity and now I'm gonna lose it

Chorus:
Thinking about the days when I was young
And life was looking pretty
It's hard to comit when all you think is
Life's a joke

Breathing it in when all you want is gone
And life is looking shitty
It's hard to admit when all you think is
Life's a joke

Rivalry

He's got the background music setup with the addition of a start-stop button for the reader's preference. The buttons doesn't show up on Firefox on some occasion and he is wondering why, but IE seems to be handling it pretty well.

Satisfied

Mood : Fulfilled
Music : Peace Man - Bamboo


Satisfied at last! This is where the HTML editing stops.....atleast until a new idea sparks Frij's mind. Message box added as per advised of Enigma. Now its time to focus on more important matters.


Work Related
The Frame Relay link upgrade of another branch site went smoothly, 36 out of 39 sites, this is taking too long. Another site visit is scheduled next week, this time they're headed North (Frij makes a mental note to scope out the local beach when they get there). These PABX and network upgrades are coming in at full blast, another fully booked year might be expected.


Frij finally found out yesterday how much his salary increase would be and he is definitely satisfied. A salary adjustment, a merit and a promotion....lovely. A good party should be in place before the month ends and Maya is already prepped up for the event. Party planning is not his forte and should be left to the experts for proper handling....this is where Maya comes in.

Daydreaming...









Peace Man
by Bamboo

CM7-Dm7
I have words to say to you my friend
Is it hard to know what's right from wrong
Have you ever felt your life so self assured
You don't know the things that you've done wrong
And then we'll say...


Refrain:
Dm7-G
We'll rip out our covers
Shake the walls until they break
I'll hold out my hand to you
Supreme love and respect........Peace man !


At first it seems so daunting
How to start or how to grow
But make believe becomes a living
Coz in life, in life you will know, and then we'll say


(Repeat Refrain)
I said Peace Man...

Almost done...

It took Frij 4 days to uncover the mystery of HTML and truthfully it was a fascinating ride. It just shows that one can learn something new everyday.


He is almost done with the page though people using Firefox may have a bit of a problem viewing the page due to the clock script he inserted. The code found on Dynamic Drive says its compatible with FF1+, he now assumes that his FF browser is too updated for this script.


Its now 8:00Pm and time for chow. Next week he might get things done, for now he is contemplating if he is gonna watch Aeon Flux or not, its to early for the week to be thinking of......almost naked sexy Charlize Theron......grrr.

LovaPalooza 2006

Frij's first blog....


Enigma showed Frij his blog and Frij was inspired....so here we have Frij starting his very first blog here. He has one at LiveJournal but seeing that most of his friends are here, Frij now plans to cross the river.....


Frij just got the February 11 LovaPalooza pictures scanned and is now contemplating on how he should proceed with the editing. The pictures looked great with a few minor setbacks from ones caught using the mobile phone (but nothing photoshop can't resolve)


Now he is trying to figure out how to make this blog a good looking one.


Flashback to Feb 11...
8:30Pm
Frij along with Maya's girlfriends, Aida and Rona, proceeded to the Manila Baywalk to attend the what-has-become-a-yearly-event LovaPalooza Valentine party. There they met up with Grace and her cousin right on the scene. Frij's successfull scheduling of an M! meet was also in place so it was a one good get together as well.



G-A-R-M


M!



The crowd was huge and in the midst of flowing bodies he lost his wife and her friends. It took about a good 30 minutes before they bunched up and got together again at the LovaPalooza baloon (his thanks to modern communication).






Around 10:00Pm
They decided to leave the crowded area to find a more suitable place to chat and have a couple of drinks, M! members left as well after a few shots from Urzalight's cam. They then proceeded to Tia Maria's for a night of tacos, smokes and lite. Grace had to leave early though since she had prior appointments.


12:00MN
The simultaneous kissing of two couples in love were held for 60 seconds then came the finale, Fireworks!


They stayed around the area for a couple more hours, bar hopping, disco, the works. It may be a couple of months before another get together ever happens. (Living 30kms away from the city has some disadvantages)
