Morning Stroll at the Chinese General Hospital

I got bored waiting at the hospital for  a sick relative so I decided to enjoy a morning stroll around the premises. Of course I took pictures of the place and all else that caught my fancy.

1) Protect your family with your baby’s cord blood

It is an ad on one of the bulletin board which honestly sounds horrifying for me due to the bad mixture of baby and blood images cropping in my head. Anyway a quick Wikipedia search shows that “Umbilical cord blood is bloodplacenta and in the attached umbilical cord after childbirth … Cord blood is collected because it contains stem cells, including hematopoietic cells, which can be used to treat hematopoietic and genetic disorders.” It probably cost a lot but then an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure unless the prevention cost a pound as well in which its a tie. 50/50. So why not just leave it to chance?

2) Medical jargons

Battle of the Follicles sounds like a bad hair day

I took this picture with the thought of using Google later. Want to know what it is? Google it yourself.

Nothing attracts a kid like magic and miracles so I highly suggest you woo your children to become surgeons by telling them they would be the next Legend of the Knife.

3) Pag-ibig (Love) is at your fingertips

And it’s just P2.50 per text!

4) Kids at the hospital

High-five kid!

Two kids on the roof. I wasn’t able to snap the camera in time to show both of them on the roof. Anyway a clap for their courage and resourcefulness in playing. One even got binoculars after seeing my distant intrusion.

5) Let’s not forget about the cute kitty

There was a hand rail between me and the cat so I couldn’t take a picture with his eyes so just use your imagination then.

*I’ll end this here for now since I’m too lazy to finish. I’ll try my best to upload the other pictures soon.

Dalek compost bin

Just one of the hilarious things to I’d like to recreate. The only change probably is to make it shout “Exterminate!”

It’s called a Dalek, the all-time enemy of the Doctor, from the British TV Series Dr. Who.

Solution to VLC video lag problem

My dad complained about his computer playing very slow videos. I thought it was simply because of undetected malwares from internet surfing so I decided to format it today. However I was surprised that after formatting and installing the latest version of VLC (1.0.3 at the moment of writing), the playback is still slow! Eventually I found the fix. I simply just had to downgrade the version of VLC to use. Try using 0.8.6 version and hope it works for you as it worked for me.

The Fun Theory

Volkswagen company has this, IMHO, 5-star initiative called Thefuntheory.com

I really like it because it displays creativity in improving human behavior. To understand what I mean better see videos of their fun projects which are able to change lots of people for the better.

If you have some bright ideas of your own then do it and share them. They have a Fun theory award from Oct 1st to Dec 15th. If you have the best entry then you win 2500 euros! For more information of contest mechanics, visit their website.

Random Shoe

Best line in BBC’s Torchwood Season One Episode 9 – Random Shoe

The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits, of great love and small disasters. It’s made up of banana milk shakes, loft insulation and random shoes. It’s dead ordinary and truly truly amazing. What you’ve got to realize is it’s all here, now. So breathe deep and swallow it whole because take it from me, life just whizzes by and then all of the sudden it’s….(Eugene Jones)

Worth taking a picture

At SM Megamall
(1) Wendy is at Wendy’s!
She’ll be there until today Oct 18 only. Sad though that the full body shot was blurry.

(2) Sbarro’s pizza.
Lousy service. Should have given me a knife for the pizza. Plus they gave me a Chicken and Vegetable Rice that has many crusty parts, like the ones at the bottom of a rice pan.

At the MRT (Sad, I forgot the brand names they represent)

1) Mr. Knight Vs. Mr. Influenza

2) Peace brother!

Shareapic lost my pictures

My picture host Shareapic, had some crashed image drives which are unfortunately no longer salvageable. I have to re-upload and re-arrange pictures in my articles and gallery again.*Sigh*  This is not my lucky day.

Pictures missing because Shareapic is down

I apologize to everyone for not being able to display pictures in some of my articles. My host for pictures, Shareapic, is currently down. I hope they can fix it soon. Please come back on a later date to view them. Thanks for you consideration.

What if may Facebook na sa panahon nina Rizal at ng KKK?

Pictures were forwarded through email and since they are too hilarious too miss out I’m putting them here for everyone to enjoy

Advice from an experienced flood victim

I got this article through the one of my yahoo groups. Thought it would be a good read for everyone especially after what happened during the Ondoy typhoon.
