S.O.S.

Lingual communication has and will always be a problem in our world! We still don't have a universal language that EVERYONE speaks fluently (no hand signals allowed).

While MANDARIN is the most widely spoken langauge in the world, its just because CHINA has the greatest population.

While ENGLISH is sooo common, in TV, magazines, etc. a filipino SARI SARI store would say otherwise, or a chinese BBQ restaurant would force you to do a chicken dance to let her know what u want to eat(its happened).

Here are a few heroic attempts at trying to bridge the lingual gap:


1.

Mom and Dad no longer in command!!!



2.

The sequel to crouching tiger.. ?



3.


What flesh are we having today???



4.


Now I'm curious what was MOM???!!!



5.

What kind of a supermarket is this???

I got it!!!

Check this out...
have you seen this one yet?!
you PROBABLY have, but mostly not!
introducint the new MSN (BETA) 7.5...



As it is a BETA (test) version, its not officially released, but released to a FEW withing the MSN contacts...but just like any BETA version, it LEAKS! ...and i just happen to have the leaked link!

Its got a nice cool bluee screen... and as you can see, the new remember ME and my PASSWORD. Along with the status bar, that it didn't have before signing in in the previous version.

A lot of changes have taken place in the new version.
In order to compete with yahoo's PC-PC calls, MSN has added a voice message facility that allows u to have quick messages, with ur own recordings that u can send. Look at the buttons above the txt bar..you'll notice the "VOICE" button...



I won't be a party pooper and reveal everything. But just wanted to let you (those that dont have it) know that i DO have it...bwahahahhhahhhaa....

And to prove it..here's the product ABOUT page :)

India's 58th Independence day

HapPY
       InDEPendenCE
   dAY




As it is the independence day of India today, I've decided to educate the many that ...don't know :P !!! It's been 58 years since India got its independence from the BRITISH EMPIRE...A lot of sh*t took place before that though. As ruthless as they were in all the other countries they had colonies in, the "then" Brits showed no mercy as they went by capturing towns and what not. Looked at in 1 way its the same story from any captured country!

However a lot of positive things sprang up as a result of the colonization. Things such as a governing system, railway networks (India currently holds the record for the largest most intricate network of rail tracks running throughout the country), and other cultural additions.



The Indian flag was designed as a symbol of freedom. The late Prime Minister Nehru called it a flag not only of freedom for ourselves, but a symbol of freedom to all people.

The flag is a horizontal tricolour in equal proportion of deep saffron on the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag is two is to three.




In the centre of the white band, there is a wheel in navy blue to indicate the Dharma Chakra, the wheel of law in the Sarnath Lion Capital. Its diameter approximates the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes. The saffron stands for courage, sacrifice and the spirit of renunciation; the white, for purity and truth; the green for faith and fertility.

Huuuuge family dinner...
Since mom and rachana (sis) are leaving tomorrow, the entire family (well almost) gathered up.
Not so clear, but this photo contains my cousins, uncles, aunts and 1 brother in law...
twas a blast, once a year this even takes place, since atleast one part of the family is always away. It gives incentive to meet up!

...G-Major....


A guitarist rendezvous at my cousins...Playing and learning set songs is so much harder than plain jamming. And the latter sounds so much better!
Met a few ppl that are well submerged into the music cake, EXCELLENT guitarist...and they're more than willing to take me in...which is great
Now that i'm in good hands i hope to expand my guitaring which i couldn't back in manila because the music there was emm...so so...will play english songs anyways (like i used to there), but its just better here. The musicians i know are a lot more down to earth ppl and not over their heads...
