MYSPACE VID: My cousin Erick lip-synching to a song

I thought this video footage from my cousin's MySpace page can gain some mainstream exposure here on JONNYROOBS CENTRAL. Hope you all enjoy his great lip-synching abilities. And remember, this is ONLY for entertainment purposes. So sit back and relax. Erick will do all the work here. lol.

Fast Food & The Workers

I don't usually rely on fast food to get my day going. However, there are times that I do eat those when I have a certain craving for it, or if I'm just plain lazy to make my own meal for work. Then, there's another scenario in which I eat fast food just to save some money on my budget during a trip ... The last thing mentioned actually happened recently. My friends and I went to Ocean City, MD on a wonderful Sunday morning. We ate at McDonald's along Route 50. Breakfast was on its last hour. All of us took the breakfast deluxe that consisted of scrambled eggs, beef patty, pancakes, and hash browns. Yummy, huh. Well, uhm, all didn't went according to plan. Jimmy was doing good and had his order ready with no problem. My friend Raymond and I had this one cashier. She was doing her job. However, her listening skills didn't seem to be attentive. And I've seen her make mistake after mistake facing each customer. Either she was having a bad day, or she's really like that. The other fast food workers seem to do a good job in their performance despite being busy just to meet the customer's expectations on the fast-delivery of the food. She was doing me wrong like she did to my friend, Raymond. She wasn't listening to him when he said, "For here." (indicating he is dining in.) Instead she put his meal in a bag and gave it to him. And as for me, I was missing a hash brown for my order. She kept me waiting for a while but I kept my composure intact. I told her what happened and she seemed to have listened (as I was assuming because of what I see in her body language). But I was fooled. Another coworker (probably a supervisor or so) gave me my hash brown after I said it wasn't in my deluxe breakfast. He was cool. Then she did the unthinkable. She rang me up for $1.05. I reiterated to her once again, "This hash brown was missing from my meal." I told her I wasn't paying for it. Then she rolled her eyes at me and I proceeded back at the table to join my friends. It sucks she didn't listened to me and I thought she did. What a bad impression she has left on me, but I know it's not McDonald's fault. And the situation could've been worst had I been so hostile and acting ignorant towards her ... I thought that was the end of it. Now it happened at Wendy's today. The listening process from a worker was again a part of the conflict. This was at the Drive-thru. I was telling them that I wanted 2 crispy chicken sandwiches and it took like a minute for them to tally my totals. It's funny how silent the speaker was. I thought I was expecting a reply right away. Seems that there may have been a lot going on inside. Then the worker said that I have to pay $3.28 for 3 crispy chicken sandwiches. And I'm like, "Here we go again." Being it the second go around, I still maintained my composure and tolerance to another unexpected situation. When they were asking me for my money, I spoke to her clearly and loud (a bit, just for the worker to hear) but still kept myself calm even with a smile when it came to clarifying my order. It took at least around a minute or 2 to get the order done again as she was getting assistance from the supervisor in charge. Then, a sigh of relief. I was able to eat my sandwiches at work and conveniently return myself to my tasks at hand. You see, even with some patience and some do-good attitude, you can always turn a negative to a positive - and that things'll be okay no matter what circumstance it would be, like the fast food situation. I'm sure the workers from both fast food chains will do a pretty good job in the times to come and do well in their performance and evaluations. Like all of us Americans who work a job, they (the fast food workers) should also get the same sense of appreciation they deserve even during the tough days. We all have a role respectively in what we do and they do, too, as they serve us food - day in and day out.

PICTURE BLOG #5: "Lola and MJ"

This digital photograph originates from my cousin Donna's community-related webpage. Here, you see my "Lola" (my grandmother who turned 82 just recently) and her grandson MJ (Donna's son) in the Philippines. It's a really great family moment seeing the generations (old and new) together in one shot ... I hope to return to the Philippines one day and see both of them. And when I get that opportunity, it'll open my eyes more about life and it's values, in general, as well as seeing more of the people we love so dear to our hearts.

My Parakeet, BLUE-JAE, passes away ...

BLUE-JAE is gone. My bird-buddy of 6 years succumbed to respiratory-related illness last Saturday evening, while under care in a veterinarian clinic based out in Virginia Beach. Looking at BLUE-JAE in his last hours wasn't easy. He could no longer hold strong to the cage like he used to, or even spread his wings to fly. To make it even worse, he falls down and I can see him shaking his head. It is very sad to see him go through the pain but he avoids most of that as he is taking several naps for most of the day ... I have to give him the praise for always being a fighter who stuck around right to the very end. Whether he would bleed and almost die in one instance (after being in a cage accident), he kept on - to live! And whenever he felt like he was shunned out from other parakeets, I was always there to make him feel welcome by feeding him (making my presence known) and sometimes talking to him about my life (like he was listening). BLUE-JAE just had this wonderful aura. He always made me get that sense of appreciation on anything especially as I was facing certain challenges along the way. We played with each other a whole lot by winking our eyes together left and right and saying a bunch of shrills that would hype him up from the get go ... BLUE-JAE's lasting impression might appear to be agonizing, but his courage to live gave me a renewed spirit to do the same. As he climbed the ladder one more time, he staggered but continued on. He reached out his head and extended his neck to take another initial step. Even though I appeared concerned, I smiled with ease cheering him on and saying he did a good job. BLUE-JAE in his illness was no longer active. Gone were his golden days - especially with his cage-mate YAM. YAM and I did everything we could to provide our careness for him in his last hours. She plumed his feathers as he was feeling really weak and leaned on her for support. That was nice of her to do ... I wasn't there for BLUE-JAE's burial and looking at him dead is so hard for me to take. However, he did left one indication, one reminder - a winking of one eye - the thing we used to do. BLUE-JAE's remains is now on the back left portion of the backyard. Before the burial, my brother Jayson showed BLUE-JAE to YAM. He was letting her know that BLUE-JAE's time has come and that he'll now be in a better place somewhere. Plus, it was proper to say goodbye especially them being such a good team for a long, long time. There will always be BLUE-JAE & YAM. They will be so synonymous in my life forever. BLUE-JAE'S legacy will live on to YAM and other parakeets JUNIOR & his partner JESSIE. And coming soon in BLUE-JAE'S place will be a new addition to the bird line-up: MARCUS. He will fill in the void that BLUE-JAE has left behind. BLUE-JAE, wherever you are, buddy, I will always love you and will think of you highly especially when things happen in my life. I know you're winking at me, my good friend :)

PICTURE SLIDESHOW BLOG: Ocean City Trip Highlights, May 27, 2007.

Sunday, May 27th was the day that me and my friends returned to Ocean City, MD after so long. With most of my friends and colleagues heading out of town for the Memorial Day weekend, I decided to the same with this last minute plan. I'm very grateful and blessed to have my buddies with me on this recent venture ... And so I bring you my own highlights courtesy of MySpace's awesome slideshow feature! Enjoy.

For those planning to watch "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3: AT WORLD'S END" ...

For those of you who will be watching the latest installment to the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN series, stick around for the ending after the credits roll. Hopefully it'll bring a great closure to the trilogy. I missed out on this and was only lucky enough to see it through YouTube.com ... Movie was great, sometimes confusing, but overall quite satisfying for a treat.

PICTURE BLOG #4: "Jeff & The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders - Anna & Anabel"

This digital photo is given to me courtesy of my young brother, Jeffrey, who was on hand to see all the hype at the Redskins Beach Blitz '07 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Here he is in the middle of two of the team's beautiful cheerleaders Anna & Anabel. Football players (including Redskins great Gary Clark) were also present along with some of the coaches to sign autographs. That fully explains all the signatures that have now filled up almost entirely my brother's Redskins football.

"Transformers" is gonna rock!

What you see above is the official "Transformers" movie poster from Japan(written entirely in Japanese). Looks totally awesome, doesn't it? Putting robots faces and Japanese words blend in so well in this composition, especially it (Japan) being the place that the Transformers concept was really conceived and originated ... I have a good feeling that this movie will be one of the big box office winners of the year! Even though there were a few concepts in which I've disagreed on regarding some of the robots' appearance in the movie, I still think it won't hurt audiences of all generations who would want to see it, especially toy lovers and collectors. Looking at several previews and TV spots, I'm beginning to accept them now. Plus, you've got Peter Cullen who did Optimus Prime's voice from the 1984 cartoon series and Hugo Weaving (of Matrix movies) as Megatron - can't beat that! Then you got stars like the hot Megan Fox, "Holes" star Shia LaBouf, Josh Duhammel of "Las Vegas", Jon Voight and Tyrese. Movie's gonna rock! You bet I'm getting my ticket to see this movie on opening night!

My Dream Vacation: Philippines

Almost all my life, I have been living mainly in the United States. Hardly went anywhere. Never went out of the country since. I easily assimilated into the culture without difficulty. I easily fell in love with the American lifestyle and blending in with other people of different cultures and backgrounds, particularly in school where I've first experienced this. Then it seemed that the "filipino" part of myself was disappearing. Also, even though my parents spoke the tagalog and ilocano dialects, I could never do the same while exchanging conversation with them. It was until the late 90s that I joined and volunteered with various filipino community organizations and started learning more about my country's origins and history. I learned a few vocabulary terms and sayings by even attending class at a community college .... Now it has come to all this. After experiencing the Filipino-American experience, I am now in the works to succeed on the next step - my dream vacation - destination: Philippines. This is where I can explore half of the magic I've lost in myself. I have to recapture the"filipino" side of my life. Now imagine that! As if it is that ultimate superpower I need to gain. I feel like friggin' Clark Kent who explores his origins to be the Man of Steel. I'm just getting into the swing of things by watching programs on The Filipino Channel/ ABS-CBN. If I go back to the Philippines, I can learn more of the culture, the people there, the relatives I've never seen, and the lifestyle itself. I'm hoping this dream vacation will likely happen once I complete my goal this year. Those around me know what "that goal" is and I'll do everything what it takes to get from one level to the next. While I'm living, this can become a reality - the dream of going to the Philippines. Stay tuned.

Ewwww ... I threw up some food.

I threw up. Ewwww! Yep, you heard that right. It happened last night four times. And it was something my mother cooked - broiled pork ribs marinated in barbecue sauce. I find it unusual that I loved this kind of food with a passion, yet my body rejected it somehow. It's a first, too, that I've eaten that because mother would usually broil pork ribs sans the barbecue sauce ... For those that me know very well, don't worry about me. I'm still in good shape and maintaining my health despite this going on. I feel a lot more better right now especially when I'm eating other type of foods on the side ... At the moment, I'm feeding my mind's appetite to filipino soaps. That's my latest addiction and I'm reclining on the couch comfortably with this laptop by my side.

Burning it ... Gaining it ... Burning it (again) ... and keeping it that way for a good health.

Last weekend, I had so much fun doing outdoor activities whether it would be doing yardwork (trimming the back and front lawn), playing tennis with my hitting pal Jimmy at the park, or even walking with relatives and friends in various locations. However, it wasn't just all about burning calories. I have decided to put something to the test: forming the "unlikeable" GUT. Yep, that's right. All that I've lost through the exercises, I gained everything back by doubling my intake of rice, eating 3 plates in a pizza buffet, as well as having 3 or 4 cups of soda. I realized in the end how much damage I was doing to myself. Just like what they said in the news: many Americans are facing obesity. I have to be honest with everyone out there - I am one of them that's being affected by this ... Right now, I'm burning the calories again and losing that gut. And I hope to keep it that way by eating healthy and exercising more frequently. Working in an office environment, I have to try more harder with confidence (hint hint: play the "Rocky" theme and I'll definitely work my butt off! He he) ... Working out more often brings out the best in me and it should for everyone out there who would like to prolong their life and maintain their good health. I hope to take this blessing into my life as I build myself to be the "total" individual that I always wanted to become, but I've never really put so much emphasis in doing so over the last couple of years - until now. "It's time." I don't have to think I'm ready. I KNOW I am ready. I know that I am a great person with extrordinary gifts and talent than what many people already think of me in the past or even now in the present. And it all starts now in shaping and sculpting myself from the outside by exercising and thinking positive ... By the way, the "gut" is disappearing. Definitely good news indeed.

Tennis action - and I need more work!

It's been a long time since I was playing the sport of tennis. Today is the end result of it - aching muscles and having lots of tan on my face, neck, legs, and forearms. In spite of those things, I feel grateful to still have it. I realized that my stamina needs some work. At first, things were going consistent between myself and hitting partner Jimmy. Then we both tired out. However, I do think that my shoes were also a factor. The shoe size was up by one and it felt so loose. It felt rather odd running in those because any moment, they could come right off my foot. Looks like, I'll have to buy new tennis shoes sometime. Call me weird, but I've been buying shoes that is specifically built for a certain activity/function, such as running shoes (for running), walking shoes (for walking), loafers (for working), and boots (for rough terrain). My old shoes definitely need to be thrown away. I still see some in the garage that have already spanned a decade. Also what could increase my strength is flavored water or Gatorade. Last time I sipped on one of those, I performed well. I really need a lot of work physically although I have lost a significant amount of weight lately. Perhaps my body just needs some getting used to the sport after a long hiatus. At least, it's good to be back in the game of tennis.

Uh oh! Roobs to the rescue for young cousin J.V.

Seems that my very young cousin J.V. is very active these days. He has the energy that can keep himself going and going. He can jump. He can dance. He can talk kiddie language. He can run ... But today, running had to be tagged with the word 'caution.' I went along with my relatives to Costco so they can shop for some groceries. At first, J.V. stayed put on the cart, but he couldn't resist wanting to get off of it. So my cousins didn't mind him walking. But he ran and ran wherever he could go to explore new things in his surroundings. Then there were carts going opposite directions in an intersection. He was about to get injured seriously within less than 2 feet, but I definitely won't want that to happen. I chased after J.V. and as he crossed, I grabbed him and we almost slid together on the floor afterwards. It's good to know that he was OK although we ended up in some awkward position of sorts. The onlookers smiled in amazement and held a sigh of relief. It was an awesome moment and I'm glad to have been there when the timing had to be right. It would've been a tragic situation. Last time I played a "hero" of sorts was when I performed CPR on my grandfather who had a fatal heart attack.

What to expect in the times ahead of this website ...

As I'm going to go through a major transition/move/step in my life during the months ahead, so will this website project in all it's leaps and bounds. But first, I had to take care of some fixings right here. Seems like some of my images on JONNYROOBS.NET Central haven't been uploading right lately. What has been seen on the top portion are the annoying "X"s. With the help of my website's tech support, we were able to resolve most of the problems ... I guess you can call this event "a restart" to something great ... So what can we expect in the times ahead here on JONNYROOBS.NET Central? You're just starting to see everything build up all into one big package - the pictures, open-minded blogs, the video footages! It just keeps getting better! Plus, exclusive video (via IMEEM) will start appearing, as well, chronicling my latest adventures! Stay tuned :)

PICTURE BLOG #4: GARRETT & DRAKE - "Brotherly Love"

Awwww. Aren't they sooooooo cute? You can see the brotherly love & bond from my coworker/friend's baby twins - Garrett & Drake. They are only a few months old. Special thanks to Carrie D. for sharing this wonderful photo. I love it sooooo much!

Video Blog #5: "The Balut-Eating Contest - Virginia Beach" (2005)

This video segment here is part of my multimedia archive collection and I've just uploaded it again just to share it with you guys that missed seeing it a long time ago. This was taken from my Hi-8 camcorder. What you see is the "balut" (duck egg) eating contest at the Philippine American Festival in Virginia Beach circa 2005. Balut is a delicacy in the Philippines. Enjoy the 5-minutes of it all for what its worth.

PICTURE BLOG #3:"My friend Ariel & me at Disney's Magic Kingdom"

Here I am pictured alongside my longtime friend Ariel at Disneyworld's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL. Ariel's wife took this snapshot of us - November, 2006. Behind is Cinderella's castle towering above in all its glory. Weather was beautiful. This day marked my first-ever visit to Disneyworld. My friend's family and I took advantage of the weekend as we went to all 4 parks. My childhood dream of going to Disneyworld finally came true. Although it's a bit too late, better late than never, right? ... I returned last March and I plan on going back again when I'll live in FL soon.

Praises for Kate :-)

It's nice to know that actress Kate Bosworth has gained 10-15 pounds lately according to the media. That is good news and I praise her on a good job in doing so (especially from her model boyfriend James Rousseau, who is helping her in maintaining a good health and well-being). Like us, this Hollywood starlet went through times - and is in the process of overcoming them. The same, as well, for Britney who is looking terrific now with a fit, toned stomach we are all used to seeing on the old promo photos. As we've seen Kate before on entertainment TV or on the mags (such as the US issues my brother used to subscribe to), she had a wiry, thin frame and weighed so light like 90 pounds, or something. Hopingly, she'll look as better as ever like her "Blue Crush" days. Kate is still a great sweetheart to movie fans everywhere and I can only wish her the very best in her progress. Keep up the good work.

My IMAX Experience / "Spider-Man 3" Review ...

THE IMAX® EXPERIENCE

I came early (with my company) to get my tickets for Spider-Man 3 at the Virginia Air & Space Center in Hampton. We were later joined up with old friends that we haven't seen in a long time. It's so neat how one movie can bring about a reunion. We waited and waited, but we managed to hang on. And that was a good thing because we were in line early thus giving us the chance to get seats with no problem. This marks my first time watching a movie in IMAX® (short for "image maximum") featuring high quality picture (a five-story screen) and sound (16,000 watts of digital sound) - both a step above from the usual movie theater elements. When I got in, I was awed by the size of the screen. It was huge! The only thing I found disappointing was the space between the rows. There wasn't that much room to move especially if you want to get up just to use the restroom or get a popcorn and soda. Plus, it was crowded, too. The availability of seats (not much compared to an average movie theater) seemed to be a major problem as I felt sorry for those that had a bad view of the movie or had to stand up. The movie looked great on screen and the sound was "out of this world". The results doesn't disappoint, although there was one tiny speckle near the middle of the screen that everyone can obviously spot. However, the IMAX® experience was impressive! I do not mind coming back for another movie, perhaps "Transformers" maybe if it'll go IMAX® 3-D.

SPIDER-MAN 3 REVIEW

After 3 years of waiting, Spider-Man 3 has finally arrived in theaters domestic and worldwide, including that of IMAX®. The movie starts off gradually slow catching up on what's going on with the central characters (Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn) from the last movie. A nice beginning for Flint Marko aka "The Sandman." We notice from the start that there is a compassionate side to the character. Unfortunately after eluding authorities again the second go round, he ends up in a testing facility where he becomes sand in the process. Oh, and watch the end. That's the important thing regarding his character ... "You knew this was coming, Pete!" Ah, ha! He's back and better than ever! And he still hates Peter/Spidey for the death of his beloved father, Norman Osborn. Harry Osborn finally immersed himself into villain mode so easily being his own version of the goblin - acquiring the latest state-of-the-art technology and some of the weaponry his father left behind. His objective: to kill Spider-Man once and for all. By far, Harry steps up a notch in this movie and he shows it in many different facets. You'll notice it and you won't be disappointed ... Mary Jane seems to still show her insecurities and remains fragile and hurt like the last two films. She doesn't remain very faithful to her man Peter and easily forges on making bad decisions - so much that an average guy wouldn't even wanna like her anymore. And what hurts her most, is that Peter seems to be around with one beautiful blonde named Gwen Stacy, a really sweet innocent gal who is stuck in the middle of it all. Can't blame her (Stacy) for what's been going on because she was clueless ... Spider-Man finally connects with the people showing off and he prides himself in all his own egotistical glory. And as his self-confidence builds, some black-colored ooze or goo from outer space takes over him. Peter's transformation (now donning the black Spider-Man suit and a new headstrong, charming yet vengeful personality) is nothing more than entertaining to the audiences watching. Everyone will get a kick out of his new look (dude, it's the hair, man, THE HAIR! lol) and his swaying dance moves while listening to his tunes. I mean, you will laugh your tails off on this one. I found this to be the most enjoyable part of the movie. Then, you can see how angry he can be when he find out who actually murdered his Uncle Ben. Also, see what he does to Harry and Eddie Brock, Jr. (a cocky individual battling for a photo position with Pete)! EEks! I'd be freaked out seeing a hardcore, black-clad, gothic Peter Parker ... Of course his transformation doesn't last forever. Parker tries to rid of it before things get worse. The black ooze now finds it ways to one Eddie Brock, Jr. who prays to God in church over the loss of his girlfriend (Stacy) and job - both to Peter. With revenge on his mind, the ooze finds a new host and inks itself over Eddie. Ah yeah! VENOM is now alive on the movie screen - finally - livin' and breathin' and them TEETH! YES! He looked terrific and superb like his comic-book self ... Just how will Spidey tackle both villains? There's going to be a cool twist to this. However, you're gonna have to see it in a theater near you. I can't give everything away. Remember, this is only a review of sorts coming from my perspective ... The movie overall seems to be convoluted a bit in it's plot and lots of loose questions regarding what's next because of the events that just happened in this movie. There was several to point out that I wanted to address to my company after the viewing ... The CGI effects was fantastic and a step-up from the other Spidey movies. The sand, the ooze - excellent! Seems like they put a lot of work (I mean, MONTHS and MONTHS of it) into getting it together. The story lacked the great dramatic feel from part 1 and 2. There was only little of it here. For action buffs, Spider-Man 3 will not let you down. Harry's Goblin vs. Spidey, Sandman vs. Spidey, The ooze vs. Spidey, and Venom vs. Spidey. All of this in ONE movie. It's doesn't get any better than this! ... The comedy part still remains cheesy especially on Peter's part. Bruce Campbell also pulls off an impressive performance being the Maitre'd at the restaurant trying to help out (along w/ his staff) in Peter's engagement proposal to Mary Jane ... Not that much screen time from Aunt May but she said the thing about "revenge is a poison" so well! She's still amazing ... Well, that's that for now. So, is Spidey-4 gonna happen? We'll see :-)

The Scanner Test: "Which one reigns the winner at my workplace?"

This is something I would like to share with all office-related personnel out there. It's all about scanners, in general, and my own personal experience regarding which brand works best. But let's talk about scanners first for those of you not familiar with it. The function of the scanner is very important in a workplace especially if you want to save physical documents and putting them instead to a PDF digital format. Utilizing today's ever-changing technology makes this happen and the concept of scanning definitely saves room when it comes to archiving vintage as well as new documents for a company. That way, old documents can be finally tossed out forever (if your workplace allows) ... Ok, now let me share you my experience. I got three scanners pictured above. I have used each one: the Canon 3080CII (valued near $2400), the Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 (valued near $350), and the Hewlett-Packard HP N6010 (valued near $440). The results were what I've expected. The S500 and N6010 have similar problems. Both grabbed several sheets of paper all at once (especially sheets that were heavily-stapled for a long time) and the cycle has to be repeated until the problem is finally resolved. In my situation, I had to fan and slightly curl the top left portion of the paper to avoid the papers from sticking to each other during the scanning process. Sometimes that idea worked but it also backfired, as well. In order to further correct the scanning process in flawless fashion, I proceeded on to the 3080CII - the most expensive of the three. It did what I expected it to do. It grabbed the sheets individually from the bottom and later, turns it over on the top portion of the scanner. It totally ruled! It just didn't do what I want it to do, but the starting process was excellent, too. Before I scan on the 3080CII, it told me what to name it first and where I want the document to be scanned into on the computer's directory/folders. With the N6010 and the S500, I had to rename the file once the Adobe Acrobat software is opened and then locate where I want the document to be placed on the computer's directory/folders. And all of that happens right after the scanning process is done, too ... 3080CII is the clear winner while I place N6010 next because of it's sleek roomier appearance and user-friendly keys. Lastly, it would be the S500 because it had a large degree of difficulty in scanning than the other two ... In the end, I found out that money and high-quality performance DOES MATTER in the job I work in.

Feeling good on the road, jammin' to the music!

Here I was this afternoon driving home from work. Weather was great as the sunny skies were prevalent and the temperatures feeling really summer-like! So I took advantage of it. First, I opened all windows in my car including the sunroof above. Then, I was jamming and turning the volume up to the tunes of "Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis group (featuring Steve Winwood on vocals) and "Hurt So Good" by John Cougar Mellencamp. Awesome classics straight out of my iPod (connected to my CD/Stereo deck). I couldn't help it. I was slapping my right leg with my right hand because the rhythm of the songs got me. I just felt great. I didn't think about the usual stuff. For the first time in a longtime, I am so free! Woo hoo!
