Bye Mollie :`(

God promised at the birth of time, a special friend to give, his time on earth is short, he said, so love her while he lives. It may be six or seven years, or twelve or then sixteen, but will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me? A wagging tail and cold wet nose, and silken velvet ears, a heart as big as all outdoors, to love you through the years. His puppy ways will gladden you, and antics bring a smile, as guardian or friend he will, be loyal all the while. He’ll bring his charms to grace your life, and though his stay be brief, when he’s gone the memories, are solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, but lessons only a dog can teach, I want you each to learn. Whatever love you give to her, returns in triple measure, follow his lead and gain a life, brim full of simple pleasure. Enjoy each day as it comes, allow your heart to guide, be loyal and steadfast in love, as the dog there by your side. Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain, nor hate me when I come to call, to take her back again? I fancy each of us would say, “Dear Lord, thy will be done, for all the joy this day shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.” “We’ll shelter her with tenderness, we’ll love her while we may, and for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay.” “But shall the angels call for her, much sooner than we’ve planned, we’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.

Writer’s Strike - What Now?

1) A heavy dose of reality and game shows: Imagine, if you will, a scenario in which Ryan Seacrest and Drew Carey spend even more hours a week on television. Unscripted shows like FOX’s American Idol and CBS’s The Price is Right will fill up schedule holes much the way TV newsmagazines did during the last writers’ strike. That’s how Hard Copy came about.

2) Late-night ad libs: Jay Leno and David Letterman have been through this before. They ended up curtailing their monologues and, in Letterman’s case, resorting to a Top Two List. But Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert haven’t had to do without their crack writing teams. Expect minimal monologues from all funnymen, and maximal celebrity interviews.

3) The British Invasion: The major U.S. networks may look more like BBC America as content from abroad fills the void. The U.K. version of The Office, with Ricky Gervais, is an obvious substitute for Steve Carell’s NBC version. And Footballers’ Wives would do for ABC’s Desperate Housewives in a pinch.

4) Developing newbies: Normally this time of year, struggling new shows are fighting to stay on the air. But newcomers like CBS’ Cane, FOX’s K-Ville and ABC’s Big Shots will have longer to build an audience because networks won’t be able to ramp up production on a mid-season replacement in a strike. This may not be a bad thing. Patience launched Seinfeld.

5) Reruns: Remember those things networks used to put on air in the summer in the olden days, before Dancing With the Stars was invented? They may resort to them again, giving us all a chance to finally figure out what’s happening on Lost.

BDO: What’s Up With All The Cement?

Equitable PCI Bank and Banco de Oro were recently “merged” (although it is considered by some as an acquisition or even as a hostile takeover). How could a smaller bank (BDO) acquire a bank way larger than it is? Currently, Equitable PCI has three times the capital Banco de Oro has). Why am I, a small corporate slave, writing about these banking giants? Two words: “Bills Payment”, online bills payment to be specific. Online banking was one of my treasured conveniences in the 21st century. EPCI’s “Fastnet” portal was the shiznit of wire transfers and again bills payment. I said goodbye to having to drag myself and wait on long lines of “Bayad Centers”. Heck, paying bills online is so convenient you can even pay your bills naked. And so it happened, the so called merger, we were told that we won’t have to worry, it would be as seamless as Marvin Gaye’s dish outs. If you define smooth transition as, ATM’s being captured on your own bank’s machine, cash debits here and there, $3 charge per withdrawal in other bank’s atm, mediocre online banking, then for what it’s worth call me a big Akon fan! (akon, get bent!) . Going back to bills payment, let me ask this question: Tell me how many people do you know who doesn’t pay MERALCO bills? My answer is zero, nada, zilch. I just found out to my grief that Meralco is not listed on BDO’s merchant list. Yep, not there, working night shifts for more than 4 years made me triple check the list. It’s not really there, trust me. It made me ask the question why and a follow up to that what’s up with all the CEMENT??? There’s no Meralco on the list but here are some oddballs on list, I really can’t put my finger on it…. WHY???

Merchant Oddball List

Fortune Cement
FR Cement
Iligan Cement
Republic Cement
AZ Communication Network (sounds like a made up company to me)
Morinda (is this the orange flavored soda?)
Mangosteen Beverage (would want to try one)

So there what’s up with those oddballs BDO? I just want to pay my ELECTRIC bills. With all these cement going around, you may call it the STONE AGE!

A Bad Dream

I was having this awful nightmare that I was 26. And then I woke up and I was 18. So relieved. And then I woke up for real, and I was 26.
