It is 2 more days to my exam… and I am still lazying around. Been watching TV for the whole day today… then attended my office’s club AGM… then off to dinner… then now, online… then later, TV again! ahhh..

I am just so demotivated to revise this subject… 3.5 Strategic Business Planning & Development. It is an all-theory subject and I suck big time in theory papers. I know that I should put extra effort, but I don’t know why, by default, my motivation is switched-off automatically when comes the time to revise this silly subject.

Oh well, I think i better head for FRIENDS in Star World now….

Just when I thought that my PC is all repaired… the virus strike again, but at least this time, it is not that malicious.

I have problem uploading my photos into my other online photo album, and having problem in opening picture attachment online. Sigh!

It has been 3 days since the Michael Jackson’s trial ended. To date, the jury is still deliberating and could not come out with a verdict. I have been following the trial… and being an ardent Michael Jackson fan myself, I too, like him, am worried about the outcome of the trial. I keep asking myself, what happened if he gets a guilty verdict (*touch wood*)? Does it mean that I will not be able to see him perform anymore? I have been waiting and waiting for a day to come… where i can at least, for once, attend his concert. I had missed so many opportunities in the past, and i told myself that I will not let the opportunity let go anymore, if I had the that chance.

I am praying hard… like all the other hardcore fans around, and keeping our fingers cross and hoping that he will be acquitted.

To all the fans who are reading this, keep the faith!

Nearly a week ago, my home’s mini cineplex was opened to my friends… for a Star Wars marathon! Yea… as my dad has all the Star Wars DVD collection, I decided to invite my friends to come over and watch Episode 1 and 2… and Episode 3 later at night in a "real" cinema.

It started off with breakfast in Toyo Corner in 3rd Mile. Had a bowl of kolo mee… a food which I have been craving for, for a long time! My personal favourite would be the one in ABC Corner and Three Hills Cafe in Sekama. After a while, NaNa decided to have ice cream ("in such early morning?!!?").. so the nearest place we could go to is McDonalds. Instead of just having NaNa buying the ice-cream.. all of us adjourned there and have breakfast… again! Yea! hahaha! NaNa was soo all excited over the mannequin of Ronald McDonald outside… and she kept pestering me to snap a picture of her with that mannequin (hmmm, her new obsession?)… and to avoid shame, she dragged a few of us to join her too… hehehheehhee… and I am one of the volunteers (ohy, look who’s talking… ) (You can see the photos in the Photo Album here and also my other online photo album)

So.. then off we went to my house… for Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace! After the show, all of us was so ‘Jar Jar Binks’… as we converse by referring me as "mesa"… hehehe.. However, the influence doesn’t last, as we were back to normal awhile later, during our lunch.

After lunch, off we went again… for Episode 2 - The Attack of the Clones! While we were watching the movie, NaNa revealed her newly-found obsession! She is in love with YODA. Yea, short, old and GREEN men turns her ON! Wonder if Shrek is one of it…. "hmmmmm…."… ;p  It looks like after every episode, we will be influenced b y gthe movie on how we converse, as this time, we spoke like YODA! hahahaa! It was really hard to twist the sentences around though, so some of us tend to have this lag in between response. Kinda funny!

Then in the evening, at 7.30pm…. off we went for the last bit of the marathon, for Episode 3, that is. When the movie started with its typical text-intro, all of us was laughing, cause it is like deja-vu.. we have see the same intro twice, earlier in the day. Then came the fighting sequence of Yoda with Senator Palpatine… ahhhh, I can see the intense look NaNa had. She was squeezing her palms, her legs was shaking, her eyes were bulging out, and her heart bit was visible from her left chest. All of us comforted her when Yoda was defeated. We all understand the pain she has to endure.. seeing her love one got hurt. Not sure if there were any tears rolling down her cheek… nor whether were there any Kleenex around. If she had it, she hid it well.

I really doesn’t want the day to end. So I decided to drag the day a little longer and we all end up have a dinner in the Petanak Market.

Well, every beginning has an end… so we bid our so-called "Star Wars Marathon" Day a farewell. The marathon indeed brought advantages to us… having to watch the earlier prequels helped us more in understanding the plot. At least we know who is who, and where is where. You know, Naboo can be a name for a sexual position. Palpatine could be a name for an energy drink… you know… ;p

Well… it really was a great day and I had no regrets for abandoning my study for a day for this experience. May the Force be with you… ;p

Ahhh!! It’s been more than a month since I last blogged! Believe it or not, the reason of the long break is due to my PC being infected by trojans and viruses and all sorts. Have been reformatting and reinstalling my hard disk numerous times… but all failed to prevent the virus from attacking. However, recently, an angel saved me by giving me a few pretty good anti-virus programs. Let’s pray and hope it lasts.

Hey hey!!! aww… what a long break i took in blogging my blog… ;p a lot had happened lately…. from my participation in a treasure hunt (aka The Race) and Gelek’s home-coming! Will blog more after in a while. For the meantime, I gotta get dress, put on some make-up… and heading for a mini gossip session…. yea! its been awhile since I last gossiped… hahahaa!!!

oh nooooo… it has been weeks since i last updated my blog!! ahhhh!!! truth be told, it is not that i was utterly busy or what, it is just that, i totally forgot bout this blog. you see, for the past weeks, i have been trying to reactivate my multiply account cause i found out that the storage capacity for their photo album is 1 gig! however, i could not access to the photo upload page nor can i access to the page where i can download the photo uploader program. it has something to do with my IE’s active-x setting. anyone has the program.. prolly u can share it with me… please??

I have a new online photo album! Thanks to NaNa for recommending the site to  me.

So, for a full complete set of those recently taken photos which some of you wanna download… you can visit my photo album site at bertjacko.myphotoalbum.com .

It took me the whole nite last night to learn how to navigate and play around the site. It is pretty easy to use, but there some limitations in editing the photo album though, but the good news is that, there is no limit to the number of photos you wanna add!

Look at my fingers… in nude! oh well, partially nude, to be exact.

hehehehe… ;p it happened many many weeks ago when the skin started to peel off, but without realising it, the upper part of all my fingers went skin-less! however, my right index finger survive this such tragic "incident" though… ;p

however, as day goes by, new skin are starting to develope and somewhat, it made my fingers looked pretty OK now… except for my left thumb and index finger which is still very much-ly without skin. it is painful though, like i can’t touch on any semi-warm surface, u know.

hey, having a skin-less fingers means that i do not have any fingerprints, right?? aahhh….. are u thinkin what i am thinking? hmmmm…………..

I am still all smelly and sweaty. Just got back from work not long ago. Will hit shower soon… and heading for dinner. But when comes of thinking where to eat really kills me! I am running out of places on where to go eat, u know… except for those regular few. Any suggestions? Any good food spot you wanna recommend? Please… not vegetarian cafe k? ;p

Well, am reading this news piece on the latest development on the Michael Jackson’s trial. Oh dear, the trial is so much like a glide from a mountain top to the river deep… and it is gonna go deeper, in days to come, i suppose. The current accuser’s mother is finally taking the stand and she is the key witness to this whole molestation thing. Hoping the defense lawyer will be able to fight it through. Keeping my fingers cross.

Tonight’s another night of TV marathon for me… YEA!! I can’t wait for Lost tonight. Apprentice is also on tonight… but am not really anticipating it. The excitement just died-ed… I dunno why, but will still follow the show though. I read this article regarding the bar brawl by one of the participant from the new season of the Apprentice…. and his name was ’something’ Shelton. The timing of the occurence surprises me because last week’s ratings for the show in the USA dipped tp its lowest low, and this bar brawl thing is so much like a publicity stunt just to generate publicity for the show, u know. Well, it is just a little conspiracy theory from me… hehehe… Well, can’t wait til that season premieres and I shall see how terrible the guy is. Hmmm…

Gotta head for shower now. My tummy is growling. Ah, if only I can skip the shower…..
