"The Big Bang Theory" by Barenaked Ladies

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!

It all started with the big BANG!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

Problems Make a Strong Person

Smooth roads never make good drivers.
Smooth seas never make good sailors.
Clear skies never make good pilots.
Easy exams never make good students.
A problem-free life never makes a strong and good person.
Be strong enough to accept challenges in life.
Don't ask life "why me?" instead say, "try me."

Exact Change Please

I have always wondered why some grocery stores price their products with a denomination of 1 centavo, (e.g. 14.31 pesos) eventhough the smallest centavo denomination is the 5-centavo coin. Thus, if the an item is priced at 14.31 pesos, you are forced to pay 14.35. And since there is no denomination less than 5 centavos, you'll never get that 4-centavo change. So, you'll be paying extra 4 centavos for that item. This difference might seem negligible, but if hundreds or even thousands of customers pay these extra cents, the grocery store would have more and more profit. Haha!!! How wise of them.
I demand my exact change.

Groupmates from Hell

Teachers usually group students in order to promote camaraderie and cooperation among them. But sometimes, groupwork may become a traumatic experience.
Working in a group allows students to collaborate so that achieving a certain goal would become a bit less of a drag. This is true if the members respect the ideas and work of each other and are enthusiastic to participate in the group's activities.
However, there are people who tend to drown the whole group, plummeting it into the abyss of failure. Meet the groupmates from hell. Although they're part of the group, they prefer to be alone and invisible. They don't cooperate, and they just wait for someone in the group to salvage what's left of the group's dignity, as if they don't have dignity themselves. They are so lazy and doesn't care what will hapen to the group. They are parasites. People like these don't have the initiative to help. They let the hardworking member(s) perform all the tasks. The hardworking member might be risking his/her life to do the job, while the lazy ones just sit there and watch -- with their blank thoughts.
What's the point of having a group if just one person performs everything?
What's the use of the others? Moral support? -- The hell!!!
People like these make life really hard for those who are actually putting so much effort into the work.
And what's worse? The uncooperative members receive an equal credit with those who really worked hard.
They should be ashamed.
It is so unfair.
I'm sending these members back to hell.

PasaLoad versus Share-a-Load

I have been a Globe Prepaid user for almost six years now. And take note, I'm still using the same number ever since. Before that, I was a loyal Smart user, but my family bought new cellphones that were sim-locked to Globe, so I had to make the change from Smart to Globe in order to keep-up with myds who used Smart, and I will not be able to text them more frequently coz I'm now on another network. The change was hard, but it was all worth it.
Globe and Smart share very similar features with regards to their prepaid services. Probably, the best feature that each of these networks have devised is the PasaLoad or Share-a-Load. As all of you have known, this service allows you to give a part of your current prepaid load credit to another prepaid account within the same network. So, your load doesn't just get stuck on your own account, duh!...
Smart, the convoluted and strict type that they are, allows you to give a prepaid credit only once. In other words, although you could simultaneously divide and give your current prepaid load to several other accounts in order for them to consume it, the recipients of that load will not be able to forward the load that they received to another account. Thus, the PasaLoad recipients will be forced to consume all the prepaid load that you gave them. Technically, the prepaid load has been stuck to their account forever. In short, if someone gave it to you, you cannot give it to somebody else. Just plain tragic!
However, Globe provides more convenience. Aside from being able to concurrently divide and give your current prepaid load to several other accounts in order for others to consume it, the recipients of thate it, the recipients of that load will are also able to divide and forward the load that they received to other accounts as if the load that they received was originally theirs. Thus, the gift that they received can also be given to others. Hahaha!
But, what's my point here? It's the length of time the prepaid load is still valid. In Smart, if you accidentally gave a large amount of prepaid to someone, that person will be burdened to use-up all that load. What if the person you gave it to is not a frequent cellphone user, then the load might get expired eventually. On the contrary, since Globe allows you to forward the same prepaid load over and over again, you could actually extend the life of that load. Hehe.. Simply amazing. (Oops! That's Smart's tagline.) Moreover, if the person you forwarded the load to is not a frequent cellphone user, he can re-forward the load to someone who can use of it. Waaah!!!
Furthermore, Smart's PasaLoad has fixed load denominations that can be passed, like 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20. But in Globe, any amount will do starting from 1 peso. In other words, Share-a-Load enables you to give 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc... whatever you like. It's your choice.
I love Globe because of this.
Go Team Blue!!!

(PS: But I presently have another phone that has a Smart SIM in it -- just to accommodate all the unfortunate Smart users. :D Hehe... Peace out!!!)
