City Hall, Fixers, and my NBI Clearance

To the readers of this blog, I may appear like an emotionally imbalanced, sex depraved megalomaniac who is presently thrilled he finally got to use “megalomaniac” in a sentence. And that is partly right. I’m not that thrilled about using megalomaniac in the previous sentenced. Happy, but not thrilled. Anyway, emotional and psychological problems aside, I am generally under control and is not a danger to anybody. Except Shih Tzus.

But still, it came as a surprise to me when I was told I needed to submit an NBI clearance for some office thing. By my boss. To those just tuning in, I work for the family business (well, at least until they discover my blog), and my boss just happens to be my mother.

So why would she require me to submit to her my NBI clearance? Is it because I stole my baby sister’s blanket when she was kid? Or the fact that I may have been partly responsible for the unalphabetized betamax tapes in my dad’s porno collection? Or is she still mad about the time she went home and found that all her stockings, make up, and dresses have been used and there was nobody else in the house except for me? In any case, no amount of reasoning would get me out of the painful process of getting an NBI clearance.

Anyway, since I had no choice, I headed to Quezon City Hall to get this ordeal over with. The sight that greeted me brought into mind words like “chaos,” and “fucking.” Also for some reason “racoon.”

Ade was actually the first one to greet me through SMS to which I replied that he should really stop stalking me. He also got me:

My own liniment!

And to go with my own liniment, my buddy Thor gave me:

My very own Diner! Yay!

Prince of Persias

It may take a while before I go write another game review because the game I’m currently working on right now Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is having too much fun kicking my butt.

The first half of the game deluded me into thinking that the game is a cakewalk and I can probably finish it in a couple of days. But like most things in my life, once it has sucked me in, it proved to be much more than I expected and that I am a small, insignificant, loser of a man.

Which should be no surprise to me since it was the same with the original game which I used to play when I was a kid. I’d reach level 8 or 9 and hit a hard part which somehow seems impossible to beat if you had the misfortune of being born me.

The video below proves that you can actually finish the original game in less than 10 minutes. Which further proves how much I suck.
