try looking for it in stores you won't find it. i couldn't even find pictures of it on the internet.

has anyone tried the San Marino Tuna Paella?

not that it's really paella, but it's quite interesting to find canned.

 

[hunter71485]

Nope. Haven't.

Spoiler: On a completely unrelated note, I am currently torrenting The LotR trilogy (which I haven't watched yet). Guess what title finished first.

Yes, it is the Return of the King. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[kuroihikari]

ahem. Firstly, how can you guys say white rice sucks? It's not my favorite, and I've been keeping away from it for about two years now, but from time to time I do eat it. sarap e.
Kuro-tan, if you're asking for cheaper rice substitutes, I use different kinds of beans. neutral-tasting like rice, very filling, but jampacked with fiber.

.

Well, white rice is almost pure carb without most of its nutrients (which are lost to the refining process). No mineral value and bad for the teeth .

And I'd do beans, but the uric acid .

I miss actually being my age .

Man, you can practically choose which file downloads first by setting the priority .

 

[Imperium]

*sigh* Other than hunter not being able to use torrents whats new people?

 

[hunter71485]

Trust me, the latest version of utorrent is broken - the files I've marked to skipped downloaded first, then the lowest priority, and the highest priority files aren't finished yet.

[baboysai]

what??? you haven't watched either of the LoTR movies??? Did your world just end?? -_-

how can a guy like you not watch any of those movies?

It's the only film adaptation I know that's actually better than the books.

hey, imp. I expected you'd be 24 by now, with the time you've been away and all.

I like my fantasy fiction in PC games.

Blasphemy!

But really, the only reason why it's better is because it's not so damn long . My LOTR book may be banned in some countries as a deadly weapon.

You mean autotuned?

She's a good singer, I wish they don't autotune already good and experienced singers like her/Lea Michele/Jenna Ushkowitz.

Hmm, on the other hand we get Sarah Geronimo's flat notes on the theme song of that ABS-CBN Glee ripoff.

Ah well, what do I care, I don't watch Glee anymore.

Our singers really are talented in comparison to most others, too bad they're not creative enough. Same kind of singing shared between all of them. I blame Regine Velasquez and church choirs.

 

[baboysai]

yes. blame regine for everything!


pota. i came here to rant. Ahem. I was happily rereading 20th CB. I was only up to the 2nd chapter when:

fast food C contacts me informing me that I have passed the interview, please check the email, etc. Tangna, they're asking me to submit a mountain of requirements in two days (yes, including government forms, and those from the regional branches etc) and that I have to be in Manila by Oct. 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is nuts.

Do they have no consideration at all that I am far? or that some government stuff take more than two days? plus a medical exam that takes up almost a day to complete? takte.

tapos di pa ako kinausap ng any HR (which I was informed I would be) about my salary or this bond thing. grrrrr!

That's their way of saying "you ALMOST made the cut".

 

[kuroihikari]

When stuff like that happens, that's when I start thinking that it's not meant to be . You might be able to extend the deadline, though.

 

[baboysai]

just talked to some girl from the company. it is what it is. but, good thing, it seems the motion for the bond to be approved is still under consideration by the company! it's not official! Meaning I can get away with it!

Fooo~ in that case, maybe mag effort kaya talaga ako to submit these requirements, attend the training, work for a year, perhaps. I just really need the management training hehe.

kaso lang, may exam and interview nanaman ako bukas which would prolly take a whole day. Plus the fast food company has scheduled me for a work immersion of some sort the next day. then the deadline of requirements is the day after that so um... that leaves me with no time at all to work on any requirements -_____________-

 

[Paper]

what company?

 

[kuroihikari]

Sa call centers pwede mong takbuhan ang bond. It's more expensive to file a court case than to just let the bond go.

But wait... Did you just say you talked to the girl about the bond? Who brought the topic up?

 

[bakashijinsan]

@bb

I think companies would allow some of the requirements to follow after you've started with them. Will you be working for them like those cooks in McDonald's who create new menus promoting "healthy" eating?

on a completely different note:
I've been hanging out here for a few days now in MH waiting for a spoiler for OP but I have yet to see a legit spoiler out there. Even read one out of a Japanese website but I don't think that was real.

I guess I'll really have to wait till tomorrow. *sigh*

 

[kuroihikari]

I'm pretty sure there already are confirmed spoilers for OP. MS has them here: http://www.mangashare.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20332

The way the internet works MH should already have them by now.

 

[Charlie]

We already have them in the OP section. Maybe you missed it? It is in the One Piece Spoiler & Chapter Discussion < board.

 

[Imperium]

This only proves what ive always thought, bakashinjisan when he does bother to come online only ever reads this thread.
