Hunger Games and The Hobbit

Nanood ako ng The Hunger Games: Catching Fire at The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug kanina.

May pagkabias ang aking mga sasabihin dahil gusto ko ang mga pelikulang may sequel.

Parehong maganda ang pagkakagawa ng dalawang pelikula. Maaksyon at kapanapanabik ang mga eksena. Typikal pero mahusay ang storyline. Masarap pakinggan ang lapat ng musika habang may aksyon, drama o komedyang nagaganap. Maganda sa paningin ang kagandahan ni Jennifer Lawrence at kabaliktaran ang nakakatakot na istura ng mga Orcs. Mabisa ang pagdeliver ng mga nagsipagganap. Nakakamangha din ang mga special effects- kahit alam mong computerized eh parang tunay talaga. Maganda and setting, sa kagubatan (Hunger Games) at sa kabundukan/gubatan ng New Zealand (Hobbit). Hindi man 3D ang aking pinasukan ngunit parang nandoon na rin.

Hindi nagtagal, tapos na pala. Akala ko may next scene pa, yun pala credits na. Hindi nasayang ang bayad dahil obyus na ako ay bitin sa kwento. Masarap isipin na may aabangan uli ako. Hindi man kasing dalas ang panonood ko ngayon ng mga pelikula dahil may torrent na, iba parin kapag nasa loob ka ng cinema. Nakakatanggal pagod, nakakatanggal ng problema sa ilang oras na pelikula.

Hanggang sa susunod na taon muli JLaw at ang Hobbit...

Baklad Update

BakLOSE or BakLUGE?

Our baklad suffered damages during the super typhoon. The nets were safe as they were pulled out prior to the storm. The affected were the bamboo poles as they were bent/halved/uprooted during wave action.

Knowing this, obviously we would need repairs to continue operation. We arranged a meeting with our operator. We discussed what has to be done and how much is it going to cost us. We agreed to terms and told him we'll find ways to provide that amount. He asked us to buy a boat, but insisted we will only buy a boat if the capital is gained. We actually have the money for repairs but we were waiting for him to offer other terms as this project is not only ours but a partnership of both parties. We gave what he asked for (the repairs) on a fine Sunday. Everything is alright until his cousin (our driver) called me at night.

He was giving the money back and wants to talk to us the next day. I said ok and I had a hunch on what is going on. I believe there are rumors circulating again between him and our driver's family. The next day, I met him. He was very furious and was returning the baklad to us. He wants no part of it anymore. He said he was tired of all the rumors/gossips that surrounds our operation. Our driver and the operator's wife wanted to speak but I gave them a big hand to tell them that the talk is between me and our operator.

Then it was my turn.

I was very upset of what happened. I was busy too at that time and having this problem is a pain in the A. I explained to him this is a TRUST issue. We invested because we know he can make the money grow. We know he was good at this. He supported his family as well as the community with baklad fishing. But why? His cousin, our driver was the one who encouraged us to invest on him. But what happened, the two families are now at war. The root cause: "chismis" (gossips/rumors)

I told him our side. I told him it's a business and money matters. We don't give a damn about their lives but we didn't want this situation in the first place. I explained to him everything and told him their acts are bullshit. I shortened our conversation by thanking him for the last 5months. We parted ways and he was happy to give our baklad back.

I left there with my face down and a heavy heart. I am saddened by this culture, the upbringing and the mentality they have. He could have been our future mudcrabs operator we could have put up more baklads. But after all, it is not a good business if one side is unhappy. Now gone are the days thinking he bought his new motorbike and new fishing boat at our own expense. If ever, karma is lurking to balance things out.

Also, our ex-Chief came to me and asked me how is our business doing. I told him about our story and what's our plan. He was happy for us because of investing and he advised that just keep our heads up. He also showed pictures of baklad in bird's eye view. I was shocked that there are plenty, around 10-15 while 5 months ago, there's only two! Anyway, you we have to move on. It's all in the past now.

Our next move is to find a new operator. And it seems like our driver will be the one to manage and just hire someone who will harvest. We will see. We lose our operator but we are not yet luge. :)

Merry na, Chritmas pa!

Greetings!

It has been a while since my last post. I was too busy and preoccupied with my last roster that I failed to monitor any of my stocks. I know that the market is slumping so I made good-til-cancel orders. They say it's a red Christmas, but it will not be complete without the greens, right? My last roster was FUN, it was sooo FUN that I did not notice I am going home on the 10th. These are the moments that makes life easier at the minesite.

The greens and reds:

  • Green for my new role and new challenges to face. A lot of procedures to be placed. Btw, end of month recon is 3% woohoo.
  • Red for the lowest ever production. Too technical haha
  • Green for Touch Rugby. Played for the first time under heavy rain. Run Forrest Run! This will be an every Friday activity.
  • Red for 5th place in bowling. However, I would say that we beat the good teams and lost to bad teams. A 0.500 record is still good enough.
  • Green for Badminton. I added this because you sweat a lot and if you play with Doms and Rands, it would be sooo hilarious. We would sneak when the elite players are done playing hahaha.
  • Red for Baklad. Our operator quit. The social problems encountered brought down our Baklad rather than the battering it sustained from typhoon Yolanda. 
  • Red for bad news. My mom will undergo operation asap. This C disease has been an enemy for both sides of my family. We will make it through. #pusoooo
  • Green for BONUS. Work hard (earn bonus) then party harder! 
  • Red for Gastro boxes. It was too expensive! What the FOX say!
  • Green for Sitewide Christmas Party. When everyone else is going home early, we were left dancing til the band packed up their stuff. We continued til 2AM at Block 7. Btw, those guys who were rowdy were from Block 9 and 15, haha.
  • Green for my 4kilos lost during my "no carbs" diet!!!

I'll spend Christmas here and New Year onsite. I still have time for gifts and my wishlist. :)

  • Observations: 
    • NXT is top gainer and EG is top loser 
  • Notes: 
    • Generally, market is bearish. Plenty of factors. I am no market analyst but here is my take, foreign selling and buying on US economy, presence of new IPOs, impending talks again about FED tapering and the impact of typhoon
    • AC -  will it test 575-->38% Fibo as support? or will it free fall as well?
    • BDO - will it have 75-->62% Fibo as support? or will it free fall as well?
    • PX - no idea for suport, gold is at 1250, mining will have its time
    • LCB - price way back 2010, like PX, it will have its time
    • URC - will price go down to 115?
    • LTG - if it will break 13 support, it will freefall to 5, ouch. still looking for news, only rumors were gathered
  • Watchlist for this week:
    • BPI oversold but look at MACD, retest of 85 support
    • COSCO impending breakaway, which side?
    • DNL impending breakaway, which side? 3Q profit no effect
    • IRC? flag pennant -> for breakout? wahaha pababa
    • MER retest support at 270?
    • MWC(support at 25?) market has little effect on this stock
    • TEL retest support at 2700?
    • SMC - retest support at 65?




Baklad is down. Need to replace bamboos. No budget yet. Think think think.

I have started applying for home loan. Cross fingers, I hope it will be approved or else... tsk tsk tsk

Will go to Divi tomorrow, going back to site soon.


Cheers!
