lazy companies

2006-04-26 at 1:26 pm (rants)

we heard of pesticides in soft drink bottles, we heard of fungu, but as if it were not enough this guy found a condom.

So what is Pepsi's defense? This bottle could have been due to some kind of illegal bottling. Hmm find a better excuse. The bottle sold from a Domino's (coca cola) outlet contained fungus. Dont just blame everything on the illegal industry. You guys earn a lot of money in India. Put some money into protection of the bottles. You wont because it costs money. If you dont, there are too many ways that the bottle can be pirated. Just pull some percentage of the 'marketing' money and put it in technology.

Before sunset/sunrise

2006-04-23 at 3:23 pm (movies)

Jack recommended that I watch Before sunset and Before Sunrise. I watched both the movies. I loved Before Sunset. Warning, for those of you who cannot stand slow movies… this is your nemesis. Actually Lost in translation would be your nemesis and this would be your worst nightmare.

Anyway, Before sunrise is about one evening that a guy and a girl spend with each other, fall in love and as a surprise part ways. Of course they promise each other that they will meet up 6 months later. Before sunset is the sequel which tells you about what happens after the two depart. Do they meet again etc; I liked Before sunrise because it had everything done so naturally. It did not exaggerate or over simplify the relation between these two teenagers.

What’s so great about an MNC? Why dont they just name the company? What is this “I expect your response soon so that things can move fast.” Some sort of an order? HOPE THE BEST!! Omg!
On the side note, I posted this because it was one of the first job posts that have any relation to what I did/do. Most of the others are
- “technical support (voice)”
- JAVA programmer. I didnt write JAVA in my skillset
- SAP consultant. Never worked in SAP, never wrote it as a field of interest and I happen to have over 4 yrs of exp now.

I once wrote to one of the consultants asking them why I get 3 copies of their job emails. I think they were polite enough to say it was their mistake. I did not receive anymore job postings from them.

numa numa iei

2006-04-17 at 9:35 am (music)

I was in a pizza shop (Mr. Pizza, made for women) and I saw this TV show. A few girls in school uniforms in a class room await some guys who enter the room and then perform some dances infront of the girls. Suddenly there was a music video and I realised that one of the girls is a pop singer. Her video : nuna nuna ye~… caught my eye. Funny. Really funny. I do not know what she sings but it caught my eye. Today I had to hunt around to find the video of that pop-singer.

I am posting it here: http://music.naver.com/video.nhn?m=detail&mvid=1744

A little more digging and I found that it is a rip off of anothe pop-video. The original one is by a Romanian group called O-zone and called "Dragostea Din Tei" aka "Numa Numa". Here is the Youtube link:

WARNING: This one is horrible. Italian version I believe
