Happy Thanksgiving!

No work tonight yet why am I here in the office? I dunno. I don't have anything to do at home [as expected] and the cable shows failed to amaze me so I thought maybe I could use this time to do some work research. I watched Must Love Dogs however I've seen it a lot of times so I wasn't so interested. I wanted to sleep instead 'coz the exhaustion of *toot* got the best of me but the voices of gays videoke-ing downstairs was too loud... Today's not my day.. So here I am, alone.. listening to Freestyle Live while waiting for Van.

Found this f*ckin' video and all I can say to this gal is: "Get a life! And don't ride on with Pearl's popularity!" Lame excuse to be noticed. Ugh! Van and Sergs are here but we won't be here for long anyway 'coz we'll have a meeting tomorrow at 11am so we need to rest. Later!

In addition to this entry.. Found another old email. I'm not posting this to insult people from India 'coz I have friends from Covad [Hyderabad, India] and I dunno if these were actually true. I just thought it's a good way of letting people know the importance of not only being proficient in English verbally but in writing as well. On the other hand, the video below shows the opposite. Enjoy!

This is a collection of leave letters and applications written by people in various places of India.

1. Infosys, Bangalore : An employee applied for leave as follows:
"Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife, please sanction me one-week leave."

2. This is from Oracle Bangalore : >From an employee who was performing the "mundan" ceremony of his 10 year old son:
"As I want to shave my son's head, please leave me for two days.."

3. Another gem from CDAC. Leave-letter from an employee who was performing his daughter's wedding:
"As I am marrying my daughter, please grant a week's leave.."

4. From H.A.L. Administration dept:
"As my mother-in-law has expired and I am only one responsible for it, please grant me 10 days leave."

5. Another employee applied for half day leave as follows:
"Since I've to go to the cremation ground at 10 o-clock and I may not return, please grant me half day casual leave."

6. An incident of a leave letter
"I am suffering from fever, please declare one day holiday."

7. A leave letter to the headmaster:
"As I am studying in this school I am suffering from headache. I request you to leave me today."

8. Another leave letter written to the headmaster:
"As my headache is paining, please grant me leave for the day."

9. Covering note:
"I am enclosed herewith..."

10. Another one:
"Dear Sir: with reference to the above, please refer to my below..."

11. Actual letter written for application of leave:
"My wife is suffering from sickness and as I am her only husband at home I may be granted leave".

12. Letter writing: -
"I am in well here and hope you are also in the same well."

13. A candidate's job application:
"This has reference to your advertisement calling for a ' Typist and an Accountant - Male or Female'... As I am both (!!) For the past several years and I can handle both with good experience, I am applying for the post."

Becky: The Prankster

Click on the PLAY button.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm really fond of children. I love their cute faces and all the crazy things they do. I blog almost everyday and sometimes twice in less than 12 hours [like today]. I have lots of baby pictures, videos and audios. I might post some of it later on. I've written about Connie from Brit's Got Talent and Pearl the foul-mouthed two-year-old. There's still a lot more I want to share [in case some of you are not as internet savvy as I am] like Marc Yu the piano genius, etc, etc. Here's another one. This is Becky the prankster. She's from Dublin [I love her accent!] and she calls random people or companies for a radio show. She's so funny and smart. The things she say are impromptu! Here's a link for more of her calls. There's still some but I can't find the site anymore. Here's her picture. Pretty girl.

Pearl Oh Pearl!!!

I can't stop thinking about Pearl. I've watched her videos again and again and again. I can't get enough of her. I've been trying to get a decent picture of her but there's none so I just hit Print Screen and edited the pix on the Good Cop, Baby Cop video. I want to see and write about her more but apparently, she retired, hehehehe. Here are some trivias. Got it from this site.

• The Landlord was posted in early April 2007 to FunnyOrDie, which is a new website founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.
• At the height of its popularity The Landlord was downloaded more than 7 million times in one 24-hour period.
• Adam McKay has directed several of Will Ferrell's movies including Talladega Nights and Anchorman. He also appears in The Landlord video as Ferrell's roommate.
• The FunnyOrDie venture is overseen by the duo's Gary Sanchez Productions, with funding from the venture capital firm Sequoia Partners (which in the past has provided funding for Apple, Google, YouTube and Apple).
• Pearl, the "landlord" in the video, is Adam McKay's own daughter. Pearl's mother and McKay's wife is Shira Piven, the actress sister of Jeremy Piven, star of HBO's Entourage.
• The Landlord has stirred controversy for featuring a toddler swearing, but Adam McKay responded by telling People magazine: "Fortunately she is in this great stage now where she repeats anything you say to her and then forgets it right away, which is key. She has not said the 'B-word' since we shot the thing.
• McKay describes The Landlord as being shot on a whim, as he and Ferrell invited over a friend with a video camera and shot all the footage in just 45 minutes.
• Farrell and McKay see FunnyOrDie.com as a competitor to YouTube, and have instituted a unique rating system that lets viewers elevate or banish user-contributed content by voting on a scale that defines the clips as Immortal, Walking Tall, Kinda Cute, Uh-Oh, or The Crypt.
• McKay has said in interviews that he expects more celebrities from the comedy world to submit content to FunnyOrDie from time to time.
• Creative Artists Agency is also involved in FunnyOrDie.com, and will be reportedly watching the submissions closely in an effort to sign tomorrow's brightest comedians.

This one I got from another site.

At the request of PEOPLE, McKay made Pearl available, via email, for an interview. Her answers were funny, candid – and sounded suspiciously like those of an adult comedy director:

• How old are you, Pearl?

I 2 years old. But when I wear my Dora shirt I look one-and-a-half.

• What are some of your favorite things to do when you not hassling people for the rent?

I like to put my hands in the fountain. I watch Wonderpets. I like to buy old houses and flip them for a profit so I can buy boxes of Gallo wine.

• Are you always so angry?

Will Ferrell no pay rent. I want my money. That's why I mad.

• What makes you laugh?

I like when my big sister Lili do the funny dance. I like when kitty chases string. I like when the sheriff puts peoples stuff in street cause they no pay rent. You pay rent!!

• What do you think of Daddy's friend Will Ferrell? What is he like?

He silly. He have doggies at his house. He also not getting his deposit back for water damage in the hallway.


Here are some of the recordings from The Landlord. Pearl Oh Pearl!!!
