Re: Pinoy Hangout Thread v. 17

Wow so much discussion...and here I was thinking this wouldnt last. D:

You know all those restaurant from hell shows kinda put me off the restaurant idea. Seems like a hell of a lot of trouble with very little return. Although I have a bangladeshi friend of mine, who's dad is a millionaire now after building a couple of very well run curry houses. He rode the curry boom and now is just living the life (its actually a nice story, he had not much capital when he came and just built his way up with hard work).

That shit only works here and in the indian subcontinent i suppose.

His strategy was smart though. He first built the restaurant to cater for immigrants. The prices were cheap but he got a lot of business. Then began building more in the upmarket areas and raised the prices. Money started rolling in. In his words, " a white guy will pay a lot for a curry and not complain, while an indian will want it for the cheapest price possible and still complain its too expensive". xD

It went to the rocks when Wade hit that corner 3 and Lebron did the alpha-male boxing thing. Chest-thumping bastards got what they deserved.

Re: Pinoy Hangout Thread v. 17

it's too early to decide. a 2-1 is easy to win over. Go dirk.

In other news, I can drive in the city now! \o/ Gee, how I love automatics.

The strategy of "Let's play catch up at the last minute" has its flaws. Namely, the idea itself.

Heh, I got a MUCH cheaper android and I'm thinking the same thing last night since I learned that you can install Debian on it. I desperately want to program C/C++ on my phone but I don't want to root it because of the fear of bricking .

Maybe when I get the money I'm owed for 5 months now.

I missed the game, heh. But yeah they've been doing that since Game 1. I was hoping Dirk would've learned from their Game 2 win but no .

lol i[gadget]. gets outdated every year.

@nba
well it's no longer a stretch, it may have to reach game 5 (or 7, if hey keep it up) until the lbj's heat gets the ring.

My Japanese "cousin"-by-marriage just slept over again while waiting for her flight back to Narita after a spring-long break in our relative's place in Iloilo (She left on the day of the tsunami).

Now, our home's filled with DeOcampo's assorted stuff (Pinasugbo, barquillos, etc. two boxes), Japanese noodles, and Japanese Barley Tea .

EDIT: And my mom's happy about how we're so blessed . While worrying because she can't figure out how to ingest the Japanese half.

Cousin by marraige.....She is married to your cousin?

 

[kuroihikari]

Re: Pinoy Hangout Thread v. 17

She's a niece of my dad's uncle's wife. We're technically unrelated .

We Filipinos like to do stuff like that. Y'know, to make more people off-limits.

Re: Pinoy Hangout Thread v. 17

Okay....lemme get this straight.



------Kuro grandad-----Kuro's granduncle....Kuros granduncle's wife----Kuros granduncles wife's sister
----Kuro mom...Kuro dad---------------------------------------------------Kuro's granduncle wife's sisters daughter
-------------------------------------------------------------Kuro-----------------------------

I think its best to just call her cousin and be done with it. Thats what I do...well use to do, before I learnt what once/twice/thrice removed meant. Now I act faux intellectual when people ask me my relations. :3

Cousins are fair game as long as they are far enough from the genepool.

Re: Pinoy Hangout Thread v. 17

Gah, my bad. She's the daughter of my dad's brother's wife's sister. And I don't get your chart, but it's probably my browser .

It's more (in terms of modified once/twice/thrice-removed type links)

Kuro->Kuro's dad->Kuro's dad's brother->wife->Sister->Daughter (Japanese).

It doesn't go to the grand-level.

kuro, remember that we asians are far more caring about extended families...

ugh. just had a nightmare. me and a bunch of men got a call to assassinate someone, I was designated the trigger man, it was to assassinate an influential muslim leader visiting the country, we step out the door of the van with a six-minute window, i got close to the target (surrounded by lethally armed guards) and then i find out that the gun i'm supposed to use has been swapped with a nonlethal pellet gun. forced myself awake when they started pointing those long barrels on me.

Dude, what have you been playing?

Too much soldier-terrorist themed games, no?

Crysis 2. None of the riffraff I dreamed of, but I think it means I should go buy the latest Medal of Honor.

MUCH cheaper? is that a Huawei? gow! install mo na!

i realized, getting your device "bricked" is not bad as most people think. hell, i bricked almost all my stuff, PSP/BB/iPhone, and was still able to recover them. patience is the key, especially with iDevices.

Now, our home's filled with DeOcampo's assorted stuff (Pinasugbo, barquillos, etc. two boxes), Japanese noodles, and Japanese Barley Tea .

were there by any chance any Angelina biscochos slipped into those boxes? im telling you, those are the best EVER!

Cousins are fair game as long as they are far enough from the genepool.

my ex of 5 years was my 4th cousin, we both didn't find out until a grand clan reunion, 2 years after naging kami.

true. but its rare nowadays to find someone who knows every single one in the family tree as far as the great grand grand grandfather, like my mom.

Nah, it's the next cheapest one with Froyo, the LG Optimus One.

I think I'm gonna go for it na rin. I've been told the risk is zero if you know how to flash.

Nah. It's always either been DeOcampo's or Biscocho Haus. I'll look for an Angelina if ever I pass by Jaro again.
