Windows Speech Recognition Failed!

I just tried out this Speech Recognition application on our laptop. I don't know yet most of the commands, all I know are the basics that I have tried during the tutorial... Just don't mind my grammar and unknown commands that I got from nowhere! Hahaha... I think it's not working, well, it got a few of the words that I said but most of the time it didn't. I don't know if it's with the mic I'm using or the way I pronounced the words or I dunno... Well, I'll try it again next time, I'll use a different mic and we'll see if it's still the same. Hehehe... It's pretty cool sana, para sa mga tamad... Wahahaha...

What's a Speech Recognition?

Windows Speech Recognition in Windows Vista empowers users to interact with their computers by voice. It was designed for people who want to significantly limit their use of the mouse and keyboard while maintaining or increasing their overall productivity. You can dictate documents and emails in mainstream applications, use voice commands to start and switch between applications, control the operating system, and even fill out forms on the Web.

My Chess Buddy

I learn to play chess when I was 9 or 10 years old. No one taught me how to play it. I dunno why I enjoyed watching my cousins play it, I just watched them play and that's how I know how to play the game. My Uncle was my first opponent, I was still a noob then. He would always beat me with his mighty three moves (lol). But later on I figured out how to defend his attacks. But we didn't play that much back then and when we moved to my Aunt's place, I have no one to play chess with, so I play basketball, because there's a basketball court just near their house.

When I was in high school, my classmate and later on who became my friend, Bochoy, also likes to play chess and we would play during lunch breaks and recess time. She was good at it, I seldom beat her, hehehe... We tried to play during Intramurals and I was so happy to win my first tournament, hehehe... But we we're in just in 2nd place, next to the 4th year players. I think I had stopped playing or we had stopped playing chess when we were in 3rd year, been busy with academic stuff.

When I was in college, I met a few friends, but none of them played chess or even interested in that game. So, I play basketball again, hahaha... Then, I met Ghenessa, we were on the same team in the Eng'g. dept., for Baskeball Girls. We were teammates during Ithe ntramurals but we rarely talk, because I feel that she's so hard to approach but later on I found that she's okay nman pala and 'kalog' din like me. ;) When I tried to joined the chess tournament during our intramurals, she joined too and then she became my chess buddy at that time. Well, we won and we were on the same team and there was just one trophy, I really wanted to have it and Ghen wants to have it too... hahaha... We both signed at the bottom of it but still having a discussion on who will have the trophy (LOL). Anyways, I got it by the way... hahahaha... I told her that she already had lots of medals and trophies on her academic recognitions and I got none (hahahaha... pa-awa effect), I'm not genius like her... hehehe... Well, it was in those times that we were able to play chess together, when the intramural's over, she became busy again with school projects. Rhon knows how to plays chess too but she's not really into it and she had this thought that she would couldn't beat me. waahh... palusot...

Anyways, after I dunno how many years had passed, I was able to play chess again, with Ghen. Yey! Seryoso masyado xa oh... hehehe...

Well, we had a great night with Rhon and Fern... That would be the last night we would be seeing Rhon here in Davao, so we're making the best of our time together. We don't know when she's coming back again.... Hmm... That picture above is Ghen, my Chess Buddy... wehehehe... I'm not really that good at chess and I rarely play it nowadays...

Babae Po Ako!

We had our bonding moment again, Rhon, Ghen and me. Rhon seldom goes here because she's working in Butuan and Ghen, well, she's kind of busy with work., so we don't hang-out that much. Anyways, we were heading to our favorite hang-out way back in college when Ghen received a text message from one of her close friend too, which is also our schoolmate in college. He saw us and they had a li'l chit-chat.

When Ghen went back to us again after talking to her friend, she told me what he had said to her. "I saw your friend (referring to me) with a guy... and then he added: babae pala siya? I thought she's a tomboy. Toinkz! Bagting akong dalunggan! Waaahhh!!!

Well, I can't blame him for thinking like that, he used to see me in a simple shirt and loose pants at the campus before. I also hang-out mostly with the boys, because there were only a few girls in the engineering department and I don't like hanging out with them (mga sossy kasi). Plus, I used to play basketball during intramurals and whenever I get the cance to play during my vacant time. I rarely wear fitting clothes or any of those kikay outfits... But behind those clothings and action is an ordinary girl who enjoys the feeling of being with her crush whenever they play basketball ;). But sadly, her crush thinks she's a tomboy too and calls her 'bugoy' wwaaahh!!!!

Hmmm... I remember there was an issue of me and my best friends rhon being a couple at school, LOL! But we're just friends, she even had a crush on my crush too (lol) and I'm not a tomboy!

Anyways, maybe he hasn't seen my transformation... from an ugly duckling to an ugly duck (lol). Well, I begin to apply lght make-ups and wear girly clothings and other kikay stuff when I was in my higher year already. Though, I still wear jeans and shirts sometimes, it's more comfortable for me, hehehe...

For all those who still didn't know this, I'm a girl, physically ofcourse (lol) and a girl at heart who still dreams of finding the man who would truly love me and I will truly love, forever and ever, amen....

Transparent Am I

I had too much pain locked up inside of me… too much pain inside that another addition to that pain means a volcanic eruption any moment… Why can’t I just forget it all…? This feeling’s just like a scenario in a play that keeps on winding back, over and over again… When would be the time when it would continue and end as it should be…?

No matter how hard I try to hide what I really feel and just keep it inside me, there’s still a time when I just don’t have the power to be in command of myself… In my actions, the way I talk or the look in my eyes that says ‘hey, I’m not okay!’ And the harder I try to be okay, the more I am not. I guess I am not really that good in handling my emotions. Those who are and had been with me for years could still tell and sense what I really feel… That deep within those laughter and smiles on my face hides a weak soul… a weak soul, still waiting to be cured…
