After months of being "in between jobs", I so hate to be called a bum, I finally got a job!!! Woot!!!
But hey, I still have to undergo training. Anyway, from now on, I'll just chronicle the life of a trainee. From the morning lectures to the busy hours of finishing the exercises until the dreaded exams.. Good luck to all of us Trainees!!!

No Cameras. Please.
This was a reply to a post in Facebook about people who wanted to take pictures with or of the late former president Corazon Aquino of the Philippines:
Maybe it is one of the new landmarks of this generation, where taking a picture is no longer limited to the photographers or journalists but can now be done by any man because the technology is now available to almost anyone. In some ways it is a new freedom that some people, as expected, are abusing. In this case, taking a photograph without discretion or authority would disturb the solemnity of the wake. Even if we set aside that it brings disrespect for the dead, it is also disrespecting the living. It is a total lack of respect for the grieving family. I mean the dead won't care but I'm sure the family wouldn't want people indiscriminately taking snapshots of or with their dearly departed. Aside from that, I'd rather have a picture of Tita Cory when was still alive than a picture of her in her wake. I bet she'd prefer people to remember her when she was standing up to the evils of this country than lying down in her casket. And come on, taking pictures of or with the dead? That's creepy.

Alice in Transformers: ROTF might be a terminator?!
Alice in Transformers: ROTF is Sam's classmate in college who turns out to be a transformer in disguise! Sounds familiar? She is actually a Decepticon Pretender which are Transformers with external armor shells that can disguise their very nature as robots. They can even make them look like humans. In other words, Alice is cybernetic organism that is in humanoid form designed to deceive, infiltrate, search for and kill human beings, in this case, Sam Witwicky. But isn't that the exact definition of a Terminator?
Cameron Phillips of "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" was disguised as John Connor's classmate. And she too turned out to be a robot in disguise. Her mission though was not to terminate John Connor but to protect him.
T-X is one of the terminator models that Skynet produced. It has a metallic endoskeleton and an exoskeleton that allows it aesthetic camouflage. In other words it can change its looks by copying another persons looks. That is also how Alice got her human form, by scanning an animatronic "Alice" of Alice in Wonderland from an amusement
park.

"What if Skynet won and the end result is the Matrix? "
Leslie, an officemate of mine, gave me an idea for another movie theory. And I thought to myself, what if Eagle Eye is added to this recipe? I bet the outcome of this concoction will be fascinating. I still need more research, more crazy ideas, more ingredients for this brew.

Terminators and Transformers
Have you watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Terminator Salvation?
If you haven't, then i guess you should go to the nearest movie theater and watch these movies.
For those who have watched the latest movies of these two franchises? I saw some commonalities between the two films and I had a crazy thought: What if terminators are the descendants of transformers? I'm not referring to the G1, G2, and other transformers stories. Just the one depicted in the recent two movies.
Here's my theory:
Right after John Connor, leader of the human resistance against Skynet, defeated Skynet and its Terminators, Skynet decided to create a cyber-planet for itself so that it could escape earth, thereby creating Cybertron. There in space, Skynet continued to evolve and the Tminators grew nto the Transformers. After a freak accident with a space/time experiment, Skynet can already do some time travelling in the Terminator series, Cybertron went back in time. Way back. Like more than 17,000 BC ago. This freak accident corrupted some the memories stored in Cybertron and depleted their energy supply that they had to search for an alternate source of energy, which was energon. So they sent the Primes to harvest energon. And guess what, by some sheer coincidence they're back on Earth again. This time "without" knowledge that life exists on Earth. The Fallen wants to break the rule of the Primes and decides to destroy the Sun in order to harvest Energon. Which means that the Earth will subsequently be destroyed. This maybe a remnant of Skynet's anger against the human race. The other Primes fought against him and the Autobot and Decepticon factions were created. Thousands of years later, after Skynet failed three times to eliminate John Connor, Cybertron was finally destroyed, not by outside means but by internal conflict. The survivors of Cybertron reached our solar system again. Too much coincidence huh? And the stories of Transformers 1 and 2 started.
Too far-fetched?
Check out later posts for updates on this theory.

Kneaded Thoughts: Ingredients for Half-baked Ideas
Ola! Welcome to Kneaded Thoughts: Ingredients for half-baked ideas.
Here I jot down some of my hare-brained, wild, and innovative (no, I'm not creative) ideas..
They maybe idiotic, crazy, underdeveloped, or practically useless, but hey, at least they're mine.. And i enjoyed thinking about them. Maybe you would enjoy it too.
And if you have any half-baked ideas out-there that you want to share, feel free to jot it down here too. I'd love to hear what your mind's percolating.
