Really? A Cheating Gene?! (12.25.09)

-
Alone at our house, I get to have the place on my own. And while I was convincing myself to write that Avatar review I went on to play Sims 3 and had the tv on to Tyra. There was nothing good so I just had it on that channel without any intention of watching it. I just need some bit of noise.
They were discussing 'cheating'. Cheating not on exams of course. That one where your partner is not satisfied with just you. Yes that cheating. Oh the dreaded word. Never in my whole life would I ever thought I'd experience it but that's a different story.

I wasn't exactly concentrating on listening and but I knew that it's the same old format where they get to discuss and interview people with first hand experience and bla bla bla. And then Tyra asked the audience if they've ever experienced their cheating partner to blame what they do on their 'Cheating Genes'. I haven't researched on it but I'm hoping what Tyra's reading on her cue cards have been researched by her writers. And yes. Scientists ARE actually researching on it.

But here is my reaction on what I've heard. She said that so far it has been found on animals. She hasn't said which specifically but my pessimist head is saying that it must have been tested on animals that are truly polygamists by nature like walruses who have hordes of females. But how about the likes of those flamingoes who are coupled for life? And here, I agree with her to this, that since those are 'animals' do you really HAVE to believe and ACTUALLY use the cheating gene as an alibi? Pathetic.

There are two things I believe we have that animals don't. A soul and an ability to choose. Animals can go on with their lives just lying there in the sun. We, however, have that need to move, to discover, to even force ourselves in having a talent no matter how senseless and useless it may be. No one  has seen a lion suddenly painting the sunset nor a monkey applying for college have we? Yes we have seen elephants playing with brushes but come on. who are we kidding? It doesn't mean that their trunks can hold on to a brush and move a stroke means they can paint! Even I can do that and no one would care! Why do we always have to compare ourselves to them ANYWAY?!

First it was the homosexual thing. Years before you and I have walked on to this earth and so does our parent's parents, being a homosexual is a taboo. Today we speculate that what we considered great people of arts and whatever were closet gays. And to further set an alibi that being a homosexual is never a STATE OF MIND nor EVEN A CHOICE, we test animals on whether it is even true. Now that we've moved on to that and cheating is a rave nowadays we then get back to testing animals on whether it's genetic or not. Having your face pimply due to genes you've inherited from your parents I can take. But being a cheater (let's add being gay to that too) is due to being wired that way? Haha. Very funny. Even TALENT, something that you can actually pass on and teach to your child to do is not because of that stupid milk he drinks nor was it thanks to you. It is just the way it is for them talents. You can have a musician as a parent and you can have an offspring who is a late talk show host (that's David Letterman to you) who can't even play a tune. But cheating because you got it physiologically from your parents? That is stupid.

You can however, be influenced by your parents. That I can agree. When you witness one of your parents is a cheater, it's either you join the club or be traumatized and be a hater and that's just it. And you know what I think? It's just an extremely lame excuse to begin with. What, your gene controls you on having an affair? LIke where has your brain went when given the situation? And like the genes you get from your parents in having cancer is there anyway you can prevent yourself from ever having? What next, a vaccine perhaps? Come on. Why don't you just say no?

" One day, a conversation between a teenager and his grandpa was heard.
The young man said, 'Gee! Grandpa your generation didn't have all these social diseases. You didn't have AIDS during your time. What did you wear to have safe sex?'
The wise old man replied, 'A Wedding Ring' " - forwarded quote. That didn't exactly relate to our discussion with cheating but I felt compelled rewriting it here that just one is enough.

T&J Weds: Getting a License at the Mandaluyong City Hall during the Pandemic (2021)

-
Image
As of writing, our application for a license is now on the way. We were able to do everything in one day with not much hassle but it took some hours to finish since we started the process. It's a bit different than before but man, I love that we didn't have to take a leave on another day (other than getting the license obviously).  Requirements 1. CENOMAR -PSA copy, 210 PHP at SM Business Center; will take almost 2 weeks 2. Birth Certificate - PS copy, 155 PHP at SM Business Center; will take a week 3. Government IDs with Mandaluyong address. Old bills, minimum 6 months prior can be submitted as well in lieu. I prepared 3 bills for this, Meralco, Globe and Assoc Dues and the processor only got the Meralco one (photocopy). I don't have IDs with Mandaluyong address but bothered to photocopy my other government IDs bearing our Cavite address and my condo's IDs but those weren't accepted.  4. Application Form - submitted and filled out in triplicate. 5. CEDULA - Can be...

TME: Getting your NBI Clearance Easy

-
Image
UPDATE (10/25/2013) As I've visited their site , GCASH won't be a form of payment for them from now on. You may now choose to leave this link as it is now obsolete as of this writing. I may try to write the different mode of payment in the near future. UPDATE(13/01/2014) Here's the new, updated and lazier version  < this is clickable just so you know. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I will not explain the full details, but me and my office mates regularly need an NBI Clearance. It's one of my most hated moments because it is so time consuming. Yes the process is as fast as they can make it, but you only need to see the extremely long queue to give up getting one during lunch break. So, when one of our office mates found a fast track option a whole lot of us instantly grabbed the chance. There are about 3 steps in getting an NBI clearance (payment, encoding, picture taking) and all involves different sets of queues and wh...

SNAP: BPI Express Credit Card: Ridiculously fast.

-
Image
I did say before how I try my best to stay credit card free except for my trusty eprepaid card . What ended that promise and what bothers me now is how I got one in the first place. This is seriously weird, and fast at the same time... and I haven't even applied to them!! Tuesday. Received a call from BPI That I am eligible for a card. The only thing they ever asked was where I was working. After that I was told that they'd be sending my card anytime soon. Friday. Text from BPI saying my card was approved. What? Saturday. Noon. I received my card (LBC) with a credit limit far from the 10k limit I was prepared for. If I want something more than that I will pay in cash but never in credit.  Why do they have to give me this tempting limit at all?! Why?! So what just happened anyway? Monday-Tuesday I was in contact with a Citibank person after a referral of an officemate. Thursday they called the house and so far not anything from them yet. The mysterious t...
