Sinkhole in Guatemala

What in the hell is this man. The hole is so perfectly round and so deep, it looks like a secret gate had been revealed built by the aztecs or the mayans or maybe even beings before men were even exist. I am not being exaggerated in any way. To be honest it's sorta amusing with disbelief, it's actually real. Lately, one of BP's oil refinery were attacked by a bunch of dolphins and octopus. It sucks they didn't have a plan A and B or even C until someone or something actually tried to prove us that, since Top Kill did not work. Possibly giant octopus and other types of sea creatures. I was wondering if it has a connection from this sinkhole in Guatemala. Also, I heard locusts will be flocking California soon this year. So maybe farm owners should be prepared for this. As a matter of a fact it already started. I was at work one night, and I've seen a bunch of mosquito looking insects that was covering this one building's glass doors. And on my last round as a security guard, most of them insects died underneath the glass doors and all scattered on the ground like wheat, you can actually scoop them up with a dust pan. I guess they were trying to get to the light from the inside.

National Geographic

Gobierno de Guatemala's

It reminds me of the movie "300" with them Persian Messengers being kicked into a pit hole by Spartans. Someone was probably screaming "This is Guatemalan!!!" to some Chupacabras. (jk). But really I still gotta bump into some answers later about the equations or the physics of this perfectly rounded hell pit.

Here is one theory, but how did that empty void formed.

STATIX - Playlist 04

I haven't been posting lately, so here is something for the month of May. Here are few songs I hear in the radio, like this classic song by Alphaville sampled for Jay-Z. Stevie B is not one of them but why not include that in anyways, it has that TR-808 beat...

Yelp

The Sower by Vincent Van Gogh (circa 1888)

I joined Yelp a few days ago. I was actually looking for some hats. I wanna wear other hats beside the khaki baseball cap that I usually put on when going outside or the beanies I put on at home. Not that I am hiding some horns behind my head, I am used of wearing a hat. And Yelp happens to be a very useful site to get infos from. Has maps, reviews, and everything, even photos. This is not the first time I've used Yelp, this network actually helps out a lot when I was cyber trekking all over California, as well as using Flickr, Lonely Planets, even Youtube to see samples of actual footage of the places. They just all go hand and hand together. So hell with it, mind as well joined it and share what I think of them places that I might come across to. Even the worse burger joints, or specially the worse timing to get a burger in one of them 24 hours drive thrus.

Erhu - Chinese Violin

A free show during my round as a security guard. It's some sort of a rehearsal set for the stage. Excuse my finger of getting in the way while this deep melodic and soulful instrument is playing. I would love to sample sounds like this... but then I can also try to mimic the same sounds through keyboards, slice them up and then set them to any padded sequencers like the MPC. Which I did to my track on "One Morning Trip"... All original, nothing was taken from a record, except of the vocal sound of Asha Putley. Other than that, yes I love the authenticity sound of the Erhu.

Easter 2010

Easter... And what does it really mean to me.

JOHN 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only begotten son, that who ever believe unto him shall never parish, but have an ever lasting life..."

The faith, believe that and you shall be saved, believe it in your trials and tribulations and you'll be more than okay. Don't believe and then ask why (but they happens), since you are already aware that God loves the world so much that he sent his one and only begotten son, to feel how to be human, to also suffer like a human being, and payed the ultimate sacrifice to save the world from sin. Believe that, and that would be the faith in Christianity. Stumbling blocks is also a part of the journey, the same way how the son was also tempted on his journey... Even the son himself asked God "Why father! Why have you forsaken me!!!" That was his last dying words before his journey to resurrection...

The son's preaching to me on this world, is to except the world as it is, but live it right, obey the laws of the lands, love your neighbor, love self, be human, spread the news, give thanksgiving (respect what you eat - respect your flock - or else), and hopefully the world will be easier to breath in. The turn the other cheek was just a humor that he made, it was not to be taken literally, the dude was just making jokes that when slapping someone from the palm of the hands first, why not use the back hand as well. It was basically answering the questions of his believers and crews when confronting the Roman authorities at the time, which is to turn the other cheek. Basically, meaning don't be afraid and be confident. I could be wrong, but thats what some historians says. And it makes sense to me either way.

Just look at how beautiful Mother is, she might have too much crazy offspring though, from snow monkeys, to chihuahuas, to black vultures, even to cool people like Pacman and Martha Stewart.


The son's real name is Yeshua by the way... And it's about the gospels man just to get that straight. There is the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. And of course, in my native ancient belief, there's also the Mother Earth...

Making Beats With My iPhone

Messing with an iPhone Apps called Easy Beats, damn I seem like a media sells man blogging about this. But it's a fun apps and easy to use. Reminds me a bit of iDrum except a with an actual pads like an MPC with portability. The sound of it ain't so bad when you open it up as wav file, after I uploaded it from my iPhone and then downloaded it from the internet @ http://www.hopefullyuseful.com. If you wanna use it as a ring tone, here's the code: 03173547. But it's just the beat itself with no synths and etc. I'll probably be making more later as a ringtone, but mostly for ideal beats even actual tracks soon as I get the hangs of it.

It's in 120.00 bpm it's the normal numbers to it. So here it is, from my iPhone to Logic Studio.

The Car Accident

These are the pictures of the accident yesterday from across the street. Just so happened that it was my brother's car that was hit while it was parked.

I was in my room, checking out the new iPhone I just bought, and then I heard screeching sound along with a loud familiar bang of a car being crumpled. And then an alarm went off. My family was eating dinner at the time, I already ate before them because I was planning of catching some sleep before my next shift at 12:00am. The accident happened around 9:30pm. So after I heard the accident, I went out and saw an SUV all flipped over on the side. I went back to the house and told my family to call 911. My brother went out in an instance because he recognized the sound of his car alarm.

The driver was of a hispanic woman and with a child. Like an infant. I was too tired to remember but I think the child was okay, the mother though was hurt (bleeding) but not in fatal condition. She manages to help her self out while the good samaritans from my hood came to her aid, by also helping her out of the car.























With all these stuff going on here, and I am sure they are all good people who ever that did helped. In the other hand, there's also a lot of money to be made here alone. I guess thats balance in a way (yin & yang), in a third world country it would take around a week or even longer for some real professional rescue. Now I am sorta concerned about my bro's insurance, we were just enjoying dinner...

My iPhone 3GS

I just got my first iPhone today along with a hardcore protective case, car battery charger, and some extra LCD plastic cover. And I am a little tired to get really excited about it, but finally I got one. Since I've been using a family member's phone, I was gonna wait until they either switch or have a verizon version, gotta get my own phone man. Mind as well plan to get an iPhone. I guess now, is long enough to get one. And it's worth the wait to have the latest version which is the iPhone 3GS with 16GB. This is more like a handheld apple computer than a phone. I still gotta mess around to it and still have to download few apps, register to iTunes and all that.



And there was some other things that happened tonight, my brother's car just got hit by another car while it was parked across from the street. I'll blog about that tomorrow along with some pictures.

Paoay from Wikimapia

I just found this out. I outlined familiar places here, including my birth place. Scroll around to it and you'll find my house. I still remember some of the roads, creeks, rivers, houses, shops, even where the bee hives would be at. About this map: It's from The Philippines. A town called Paoay from the Province of Ilocos Norte. Ferdinand E. Marcos was from Ilocos Norte as well. But I was too young to remember who he was then.

The I Ching

It's about a book. I read this once and while just to kill time as I also watch around my post in my off time. Pretty interesting, I am not a Buddhist, but I do like how they present their philosophies and meditation practices. Not in a religious manner depending on how you define religion is, to me religion is a daily practice or some sort, with some spiritual guidance and not to worship a god. But to be one with that godly source.

I never tried this my self, which is what your supposed to place on your altar. In modern Christianity, stones or any type of objects are forbidden because in the bible it says god is a jealous god and nothing should be worship before god (or him god). To me god is not a he or she only but many unto one all together. Again, this is not about worshiping, this is being with the element that is a part of godly creation.

The Altar
1. Spoon some cook brown rice into the center bowl. This bowl represents the infinite.
2. Small amount of spring water into the bowl on your left. This symbolize yin energy (dark).
3. Small amount of sea salt into the bowl on your right. This symbolize yang energy (light).
4. Decorate your altar with attractive assortment of small rocks and flowers that you found around your home.

How to Meditate
Empty your mind: let go of contents.
Make your mind no mind: get rid of all things.
Concentrate your mind: make it unmoving.
Pacify your mind: let there be no fear.
Make your mind tranquil: keep it from chaos.
Straighten your mind: get rid of the crooked.
Cleanse your mind: eradicate the foul.

To me, reading how to meditate itself while I was standing, already gave me some sort of physical peace. Perhaps that was the meditation part, other than like googling in your mobile phones. That too can be like meditation, just be careful what goes inside your mind...
