Dr. House: Do you have some... ethical problem with what I'm doing that you can express in a unique way, which might actually make me think that I'm wrong, eventhough I'll never admit it?
Dr. O'Shea: Yes.
Dr. House: You ARE funny!
Dr. House: Hallucination. That's a brain thing, right?
Lucas: Oh, the guy doing manual labor can't have an opinion?
[pause]
Lucas: I might be a genius who just happens to have uh.. a passion for fixing coffee machines.
[pause]
Lucas: No. I'm obviously not but that's rude making assumptions about people.
Dr. House: Because I wanted to find out what you guys found out before I find out what he found out. So I can find out if I NEED a private investigator.
Dr. House: Say it...
Dr. Foreman: You were right.
Dr. House: God! That was petty of me.
Lucas: Have you never seen an after-school special? That is part of the pleasure of friendship. Trusting without absolute evidence, and then, being rewarded for that trust.
Lucas: Your type doesn't care if you're right or wrong. Coz they've hired me to investigate the wrong person.
Lucas: You want me to check out Wilson..
Lucas: ... You want to find out if he's pining. You want to find out if there's something about him that will tell you he's gonna come back. Or something you can use to make him come back...
Dr. House: Is there?
Dr. House: ... Placebo effect. People have confidence in doctors. They've confidence in diagnosis, confidence in medicine. Sometimes they get a little better just because they think they will. And that can make us think that the wrong answer is the right answer... which is very bad.
Apple: So, you do have proof that it's cancer, but.. you can't tell me because it might affect the way I react to the medicine?
Dr. House: If that we're true, I would surely make sense. Do you think I can tell you that it's true? (Followed by exagerated wink.)
Apple: The doctors told me that my life is gonna be SO better once I get to see. I would date. I would dance... But uh... the guys I hated dancing with before I hated dancing with after. My parents were still dead. I'm still alone.
Dr. House: You're fun.
Apple: You don't seem all that different.
Dr. House: I haven't given up.
Woman: Are you following me.
Dr. House: No.
Lucas: No.
Woman: Are you lying.
Dr. House: No.
Lucas: Yes.
Dr. House: Lesson one. Commit.
[After House presses on emergency button. Nurses rush in.]
Nurse: You ever hear of the boy who cried wolf?
Dr. House: Never really bought that. I don't care how often the kid cries he's being eaten by the wolf. Moms gonna come running.
....
[House presses on emergency button again. Nurse rushes in again.]
Dr. House: Just proving a point.
Dr. House: ... What I DO know is that you're not seeing what everyone else is seeing.
Apple: And now? Things are gonna be... beautiful?
Dr. House: Things will be what they are.
[House removes the gauze over Apple's eyes.]
Dr. House: How do I look?
Apple: You look sad...

China Milk Scandal - Recalled products in Singapore
While the US is facing economic struggles, the rest of Asia is alarmed with the Milk scandal in China.
In case you've been disconnected from the outside world for the last month, you would know that many milk / dairy products from China have been tainted with melamine, which is said to cause tumors or such. And in recent weeks, traces of this substance is found in many products from China.
The following is a list of some products which have been recalled in Singapore in light of the melamine scare. (Note that this is best effort only. If anyone has a comprehensive list, let me know):
1. M&M
2. Snickers
3. Mento's Yoghurt Bottle
4. Dove Chocolate
5. Oreo Wafer Sticks
6. Dutchlady Sterilised Milk
7. Wall's all natural mango
8. Mini Poppers Ice Cream
9. Magnum Ice Cream
10. Moo Sandwich Ice Cream
11. Mini Cornetto
12. Youcan Ice Cream
And just earlier today, Cadbury will be pulling their products from the shelves after melamine traces have been found in their products. See the news here.
Personally, I'm shaken by the recall of Snickers, which is my favorite snack. If it's not that expensive, I might have bought a whole pack and ate it myself. Anyway, the only shining ray of hope for me is with Guardian where I found Snickers but are manufactured in Australia (I think). Still, I'd likely stick with the wheat bread for the next few months...

Shake It - by Metro Station
Not sure exactly what happened but for a few months earlier, I could no longer listen to RX 93.1 online. :(
Just out of the blue -- since I've finished off most of my assigned tasks -- I tried again, and voila! Rx93.1 is back! Not sure for how long, but thank God they're back!
Anyway, there's one fairly old song that got stuck in my head after hearing it one RX: Shake It by Metro Station. Too bad they disabled the embed feature for this youtube video. Here's the link.
I guess it's one of those upbeat, feel-good songs for me.. :)

SHAKE IT
Metro Station
Let's drop!
Yeah, come on
I'll take you home
If you don't leave me at the front door
(Leave me at the front door)
Your body's cold
But girl, we're gettin' so warm
And I was thinking of ways
That I could get inside (Get inside)
Tonight you're falling in love
Let me go now
This feeling's tearing me up
Here we go now
Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her like that?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move her like that?
Come on, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it (x4)
Your lips tremble
But your eyes are in a straight stare
(In a straight stare)
We're on the bed
But your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places
That I could hide
(I could hide)
Tonight you're falling in love
Let me go now
This feeling's tearing me up
Here we go now
Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her like that?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move her like that?
Come on, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it (x4)
I saw you dancing
And I couldn't get you off my mind
I could tell that you could tell
That I was taking my time
But I was thinking of ways
To get you to stay tonight
Body's shaking
Tell me off so I can turn off the lights
Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her like that?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move her like that?
Come on, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it (x4)

House M.D. - Season 5 Episode 1 Quotes
With the start of a new season, here are some quotes from the season premiere:
Dr. House: I thought she said "I am suddenly and irrationally defending the patients strong career even though in reality she's just a glorified grunt because I'm trying to convince myself that it's okay not to have a life because I don't have a life because I have been tested for Huntington's and my lifespan's been cut in half. [pause] Been waiting two months for her to say that.
Dr. House: My patient is still fighting in effeminist trenches but the war is over. Yesterday's sluts are today's empowered women. Today's sluts are celebrities, if that isn't progress...
Lou: You're making excuses for me?
Dr. Hadley: I'm just saying it's understandable..
Lou: Only have to understand something if it needs an explanation. I have needs. I met my needs. End of explanation.
Dr. Wilson: I'd need a flowchart to explain all the ways in which that was ridiculously insensitive.
Dr. House: People get what they get. It's got nothing to do with what they deserve.And this is nothing to do with her genitalia and everything to do with your genetics.
Dr. House: People DIE. You, Amber, everyone. Don't act like you just figured that out... I gave you a diagnosis. You don't like it, there are exits on every floor.
Dr. Hadley: ...We can have anything..
Lou: No we can't. We can aspire to anything, but we don't get it just because we want it. I would rather spend my life close to the birds than waste it wishing I had wings.
Dr. House: I like you better now that you're dying.
Dr. House: Almost dying changes nothing... Dying changes everything...
Dr. Wilson: You spread misery because you can't feel anything else. You manipulate people because you can't handle any kind of real relationship. And I've enabled it. For years, the games, the binges, the middle of the night phonecalls...
I should have been on the bus, not... You should have been alone on the bus. If I've learned anything from Amber, it's that I have to take care of myself.

After a long hiatus... again
Not much to say here, except that I've been busy. I guess my bosses are making sure that they squeeze everything they can from me before my last days in my current job. Yep, I'll be leaving my company and I am currently on the lookout for another job.
Anyway...
Everyone -- well, almost everyone -- here in Singapore is looking forward to the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend. I don't think I'll be going there to watch the event live; I'd settle with just watching it from home. Or better yet, we'll not just watch it at all.. :) Sorry, not really a big Grand Prix fan.
It's already September and, for me, it means a couple of things. First, it's the start of the Christmas season already! Weather is becoming cooler, and everyone has started putting up Christmas decors. I miss Christmas in the Philippins; way too different here, being a country of multiple races and religions.
Also, September means a new season for many US shows! I'm looking forward to all of them. I just watched the first episode of House season 5. Damn great show!
Oh well, I got that so-called mental block again. Can't think much right now. I guess I'm still jaded with this job. Hehehe :) Can't wait to look for a new one!
