Mosquito Repellant

I just saw this on Channel 5’s “News 5 Tonight” show. It’s pretty interesting and it actually seems to work:

A Mosquito Repellant, not as a spray, not as an cream, but using your mobile phone! South Korea’s leading mobile phone operator SK Telecom is offering their users the ability to use a service that will emit a soundwave from your mobile phone, that will kill all mosquito’s in a one-meter radius!

American Idol – Keith

For everybody who loves A.I., no not the movie, not the technology, but the TV-show: American Idol, here’s one of the famous clips by “Keith” Beukelaer who didnt seem to be too popular with Simon Cowell. Found it in my mailbox, but its hosted by GeenStijl.

SMS on House Phone

Today I was enjoying my ride in a taxi to the wedding (described below), when I read about SMS‘ing from your home phoneline! I had read about it before, but didnt check out the details yet! It seems there’s a couple of them available like the Siemens C200 and the Chicago 450 Comfort.

I decided to check it out since my mom and I send eachother SMS’s quite frequently and it wouldnt be bad to be able to do that from the houseline.

So, checking the KPN website on Homeline SMS (Dutch only) I found out that they don’t support SMS sent to and received from the following numbers:

- other phone-operators
- business phones
- expensive SMS-nrs like game-nrs
- 0800-/ 0900- numbers
- 112, 118 and other short numbers
- overseas numbers

Guess my cool idea’s just blew Oh well! Better luck next time!

Long Office Day

Another long day in the office has passed. I had been up till late last night to ensure that I had my presentation material for today finished.. Was about 2am when I left my gf’s place and walked back home. Once back home I noticed the owner of the house woke up to take some medication. I went to sleep quickly because I needed to get up early (my early is before 10) to conduct a presentation. So, I set my alarm to 9:15am and went to sleep. At 7am in the morning (after less than 4 and a half hours of sleep) I heard the sounds of someone in the living room. Apparently the lady had her friend over at FRIKKIN 7am in the morning and were talking like a bunch of loud chickens! I was sooooo fed up that I was awake for almost an hour! I put in my earplugs and was kept awake by the light that was shining into my bedroom. I decided to grab some of those eye-covers for in the plane and covered my head with a pillow.. As long as I’d be able to get the necessary few hours of sleep.. I woke up an hour or so later, hardly being able to get up when I heard the alarm.. I was so sleepy still.. I got up, took my shower and went to work by taxi.. I made a few phonecalls to say I was gonna be late – What else is new? – and asked the driver to hurry as fast as he could.. Ofcourse, suddenly all traffic was driving slow and roads were being repaired.. Funny how these things always happen right? Anyways, I hurried as fast as I could and ended up 15-20 minutes late at the office.. I get into the meetingroom… No customers?! I was supposed to do the presentation and there’s NOBODY TO ATTEND?! They didnt call, they made us wait until frikkin 12 noon and I COULDVE GOTTEN MORE SLEEP! I hate Fridays… *yawn* Off to bed now! niterz! Blog ya tomorrow! Oh btw, tomorrow got a wedding to attend so might be a late night blog again! gdnite!

Rules From Men

Just got the rules from men in my mailbox

We always hear “the rules” from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note… these are all numbered “1″ ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine… Really.

1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don’t mind that, it’s like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can – to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can – to give them a bigger laugh!!

Well neither does JabberWhacky but it sure is hilarious!

Getting Married

Subject: How guys select the girl they want to marry

A man is dating three women and wants to decide which to marry. He decides to give them a test. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, purchases new make-up and buys several new outfits, and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much. The man is impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of STRONG golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts,
she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much. Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money.

Then he married the one with the largest breasts.

Men are Men!!!
