[who is ronjie.com?] The RONJIE.COM Web

The RONJIE.COM web, at least, according to Mozilla Firefox is in this link. This is what it came up with after I wasted spent time answering some 20 questions.

I guess you should try to waste time answer it as well and find "web stuff" we have in common. Or with some other important person in your life. Like both my wife and I have smartphones, Statue of Liberty souvenirs, and friendship bands in there, among others. Okay. Yeah, don't worry. I don't get it, too. Oh and, don't ask me questions about it, please. :-D

[who is ronjie.com?] My name is RON.

My real given name is Ronwaldo Emmanuel. My dad wanted me to become Emmanuel Jr., but my mom didn't want a Junior, so they agreed that my dad would decide on my first given name and to use Emmanuel only as a second name, but that my mom would decide on my nickname. My dad decided to name me after Ronwaldo Reyes, a.k.a. Fernando Poe, Jr., the late famous Filipino actor admired by millions and more recently presidential candidate who lost against former president Gloria Arroyo. My mother then decided on "Ronjie" as nickname, to put a dash of her own name into mine as well, her nickname back then being "Mojie."

[who is ronjie?] defining moment #2

I was in college, in my senior year, and I started taking one of these required courses that everyone seemed to hate. There was a "terror" teacher who gave you one of three marks: just-passing, do-more-work, or absolutely-failed. I was challenged.

In one of the homeworks/assignments given to us, we were asked to derive an equation. Loving math since a kid, I played around with what was given, and finally came up with the solution. As is usual custom in college, we'd usually look at each other's work. Or actually, I was probably one of a very few who did try to answer the home exercises, and so my classmates asked to see what I did.

[quote me] [tech] Google+ [sigh]

I love Google. The feeling ain't mutual - it's one of only maybe three technology companies that I am endeared to, but meanwhile I'm only one of probably a billion users that mean the world to them. If I were earning US$ and had access to Wall Street, I'd have invested in Google and two other companies years ago. But I'm not, I can't afford, and so I'll stick to ALI and SMDC. :D

[quote them] The Man in the Arena

A speech by Theodore Roosevelt in 1910:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

[prustrations] Smartphone = PDA+Phone?

Can how you use/see a smartphone tell how smart you really are?

Philippine Passport holder?

Iwasan mong pumunta sa Indonesia. Pati sa Bali ha. Kung hindi, paghandaan mo na lang ang mga hindi kanais-nais na karanasan.

Ito ang pangunahing naging babasahin ko tungkol dito: http://www.chyngreyes.com/2011/06/my-traumatic-experience-as-alleged-drug.html

Narinig ko tungkol don mula dito: http://chuvaness.livejournal.com/1125376.html

At ito pa isang dokyumentaryo tungkol sa Indonesia na ginawa ng walang iba kung hindi ang National Geographic mismo, pero mga Pinoy ang gamit nila na artista para gampanan ang mga Indonesian na roles: http://chuvaness.livejournal.com/1125846.html
