Weeee!!! Got a Wii!
Che and I bought a new Wii for ourselves. The SGD350 Wii promo at Funan a few weeks ago was just too much for us to pass up. Been busy since then.
I've already spent 18 days on the Wii Fit Plus... So far, I've lost just 2 pounds :( It is Christmas though, many parties and the like... I'm still glad I still lost something. :) Favorite workout there is the Rhythm Boxing which is a great way to lose those extra weight.. especially the 10 minute workout.
We also got Mario Kart Wii... I was actually a bit skeptical whether I would actually enjoy this game. Well, good thing I am! :)) Just completed the 50cc tracks. Unlock the two unlockable cars as well as two unlockable characters - King Boo and Diddy Kong. Time to rest up my aching thumb and prepare for the 100cc tracks! :)

Facebook user beware! 419 Scam
Just came across the following news this morning about a new scam on the rise in Facebook. Check it out here.
Here's the gist:
Careful guys!
Here's the gist:
Fraudulent individuals collect log—in information through phishing sites and access Facebook accounts to send inbox or chat messages or to update the person’s profile. And they claim to be stranded in a foreign country and ask friends to send money, usually through a money transfer service.
The scam had previously been perpetrated through emails.
But more cyber criminals are leveraging on social engineering as a means of deceiving users...
Social engineering takes advantage of our natural tendency to trust one another, rather than relying solely on technological means to steal information
Careful guys!

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 9 - Wilson
Dr. Gregory House: Got the urge to play last night. Had to go all the way back to my old apartment. Thought I'd save on future trips.
Dr. James Wilson: Hmmm. It's very eco-friendly of you. How about keeping down on the noise pollution.
Dr. Gregory House: Is it that time of year again?... He's a self-important jerk.
Dr. James Wilson: He's my friend.
Dr. Gregory House: He's a self-important jerk!
Dr. James Wilson: Seems to be what I'm attracted to.
Dr. James Wilson: I just had a House-moment. Diagnosed transverse Myelitis from a cold sore. How cool is that!
Dr. Gregory House: The self-important jerk does not have Transverse Myelitis. He's got cancer.
Dr. James Wilson: How do you even?
Dr. Gregory House: Ok! Maybe I paid the red head down in records a few bucks to cc me on all your cases. A few patients die you might get sad again. Make a speech that would end your career. Frankly, I'm stalking you for you.
Dr. James Wilson: Exactly how serious does it have to be to justify you coming to see your father?
Dr. James Wilson: No I'm sorry. I just.. I'd rather you regretted coming than regretted not coming.
Dr. James Wilson: You're Bonnie's friend. You know how to reach her and yet instead of calling her, you come and seek my permission. You want my blessing, and implicitly House's blessing.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I don't need House's blessing.
Dr. James Wilson: Good.
Dr. James Wilson: Where's House?
Dr. Chris Taub: Performing his ritual "hiding-from-Cuddy-to-avoid-getting-a-new-case" dance. Sort of a jazz-fusion type of thing.
Dr. Remy Hadley: Probably eating lunch in the morgue...
Dr. Gregory House: Why are you doing surgery when I need you find me a new case?
Dr. Robert Chase: You don't want a new case.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh, right. Guess I'm here for Wilson.
Dr. Gregory House: This is the 21st century, Wilson. I realize that the logical course of any adult relationship could one day lead to fornication.
Dr. Gregory House: This is classic midlife Cuddy crisis. This is her version of two-seat convertible.
Dr. James Wilson: Yep. Clearly you're fine with it.
Tucker: You're the only one who can make cancer sound good.
Dr. James Wilson: It's exactly what you would do.
Dr. Gregory House: I'm me. You're you.
Dr. James Wilson: ...And a table is a table.
Dr. Gregory House: And chemo is poison. And double chemo is double poison. And I can handle it when things go wrong. You can't. And things could go very very wrong.
Dr. James Wilson: I can handle it.
Dr. Gregory House: Look on the bright side. When you publish the results of this case study, no one will ever double the dose again.
Dr. James Wilson: Are you really okay?
Dr. Gregory House: No! I'm not okay. Not even close.
Dr. James Wilson: Wow. Okay. See? That's... very adult of you.
Dr. Gregory House: No it isn't. It's just me accepting the fact that there's nothing I can do about it. Moving on.
Dr. James Wilson: Which is, I think, the definition of adulthood.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, if it is. Being a kid is a lot more fun.
Dr. Gregory House: Well played. Religion just killed another person.
Dr. James Wilson: Tucker wants me to donate a lobe of my liver to him.
Dr. Gregory House: You were out drinking... 'Coz you're actually considering this?!
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah, I was out marinating my liver in alcohol to get it ready for the transplant. Yeah.
Dr. Gregory House: You're mouth says no, but your pathetic attempt at a deflection has guilt written all over it.
Dr. Gregory House: Quibbles! He's got a predictable complication. Surprise! Bad things happen to people who are sick! Doesn't make you responsible!
Dr. James Wilson: Oh... Not legally... Ethically. ETHICALLY!
Dr. Gregory House: A table is a table. Don't be a doormat Wilson!
Dr. James Wilson: Boy, you are... you willfully ruined my food and have taken over my living room because you already think I'm a doormat! You know what? You're wrong! Clean up your stuff and get out!
Dr. James Wilson: I want to donate a lobe of my liver to Tucker.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: That's insane!
Dr. James Wilson: I'm donating a small portion of...
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You have hundreds of patients.
Dr. James Wilson: And until I run out of excess organs, why shouldn't I do everything I can to help them?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Because you're a doctor, not a donor.
Dr. James Wilson: Why did you make me the head of oncology?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Not because you have the most organs... You're thoughtful, caring...
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah, caring. By your own criteria, a strength, not a weakness.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: This is coming out of guilt.
Dr. James Wilson: This is coming out of friendship. I have a friend who is about to die. And I have the opportunity to save his life...
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: ... Okay...
Dr. Gregory House: I'm your friend... All the pain pills I've taken. What if I need your liver?
Dr. James Wilson: Right. How selfish of me not to have considered your possible future needs.
Dr. Gregory House: They're all dying. They're all your friends.
Dr. James Wilson: I'm not here for an argument, House.
Dr. Gregory House: No, right. That's room 12A...
Dr. James Wilson: The operation is in 2 hours. I'd like you to be there.
Dr. Gregory House: ... No.
Dr. James Wilson: What? Why?
Dr. Gregory House: Because if you die, I'm alone.
Tucker: I was thrilled to get the family back together. Melissa's great in a crisis, but... the person you want when you're dying isn't the same as the person you want when you're living.
Dr. Gregory House: You don't feel angry?
Dr. James Wilson: Huh.. I'm a little disappointed.
Dr. Gregory House: Disappointment is anger for wimps. You don't have to be so gentle about everything. It's good to be angry once in a while.
Dr. James Wilson: You can't change a table.
Dr. Gregory House: Actually, you can. You just need a coat of paint and the guts to use it.
Dr. James Wilson: She hurt my friend. She should be punished.
Dr. Gregory House: You got mad? I'm proud of you. Cuddy won't share the sentiment. How you gonna explain it to her?
Dr. James Wilson: Problem delayed is a problem denied.
Dr. James Wilson: Hmmm. It's very eco-friendly of you. How about keeping down on the noise pollution.
Dr. Gregory House: Is it that time of year again?... He's a self-important jerk.
Dr. James Wilson: He's my friend.

The reason why I stayed up late
Or why my body clock broke down again.
After our Malacca trip, I didn't sleep the whole night. I just spent the night watching over this beautiful sight...
The living room brightened up by the Christmas tree.
Closeup of the Christmas tree.
Closeup of Angel on top of the Christmas tree.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 8 - Ignorance is Bliss
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Hold on. Take this instead. I was expecting more resistance.
Dr. Gregory House: That was the old me. New me is static-guarded and friction-free.
Dr. Gregory House: I feel like Mike Tomlin. Probably not as much as you do, but you get the idea.
Dr. Chris Taub: It's too hard to think?
James Sidas: No. Just unpleasant. No matter what I did, it really wasn't good enough. Then I met Dora. She didn't care how smart I was, or what I might accomplish in the future. It was the first time in my life that I was really happy. So I decided I'd rather be happy than smart.
Dr. Robert Chase: I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. But I've got it under control.
Dr. Eric Foreman: That's what you said about the Dibala incident. Obviously you didn't.
Dr. Robert Chase: And talking about it made it so much better.
Dr. Chris Taub: Life's too short too worry about money.
Dr. Gregory House: There's only two possible outcomes for their relationship. They split or they stay together forever. If split, the sooner it happens the better for everyone. If stay, my meddling won't matter. In fact, if they survive it, it would make their bond stronger.
Dr. James Wilson: How you manage to elevate your narcissim to beneficence is masterful.
Dr. Remy Hadley: You gonna ask?
Dr. Chris Taub: I'm sure he's got a perfectly logical reason.
Dr. Gregory House: Can't be DIC, no hemorrhaging. And I'm calling all twelve Julia Cuddy's within a hundred mile radius.
Dr. Chris Taub: See? Completely reasonable.
Dr. Robert Chase: I'm gonna pretend there's something interesting over here so you'd shut up.
Dr. Chris Taub: This isn't some homework assignment his parent forced on him. This is passion. Why would he stop doing it?
Dr. Robert Chase: Marriage destroyed his soul.
Dr. James Wilson: This cannot end well.
Dr. Gregory House: Don't want it to end well. You should come as my date. You're not gonna want to miss this.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: So which one of us slipped through the wormhole into an alternate dimension?
Dr. Gregory House: I have always loved to travel. And paint.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Either you're trying to screw with me. Or you're trying to show me that you've really changed.
Dr. Gregory House: So which is it? I'm dying to know.
Dr. Remy Hadley: What's with the ties?
Dr. Gregory House: Makes me look adorably non-threatening.
Dr. Gregory House: On the otherhand, Taub and Thirteen can do the liver biopsy today?
Dr. Chris Taub: Why us?
Dr. Gregory House: Juniority. Welcome back!
Dr. Robert Chase: What do you want us to do?
Dr. Gregory House: Same as me. Have a happy thanksgiving.
Dr. Gregory House: You are not right for her.
Lucas Douglas: And you are?
Dr. Gregory House: Less wrong.
Dr. Gregory House: She invited me. She didn't know if she should until she figured out if I really have changed or if I'm still the same old SOB I have always been. But she always gave me a chance. Eight hundred thirty two chances. I used up everyone of them. 832's her limit. Make a note.
Dr. Chris Taub: Chase, you had a wonderful Thanksgiving?
Dr. Robert Chase: I don't remember. So I guess I did.
Dr. Chris Taub: Got drunk? Alone?
Dr. Robert Chase: No. That would be a sign I need to talk to you about this.
Dr. Robert Chase: Why does everyone assume everyone works in the *exact* same way?
Dr. Remy Hadley: We pretty much do. Our egos want to think we're all snowflakes, no two alike. But really we all want the same thing: love, forgiveness... chocolate.
Dr. Robert Chase: Well what I want is for everyone to leave me alone. How do I get that?
Dr. Gregory House: I can't believe that Lucas fell for my "I never say this because it's so personal except I'm so drunk" profession of love... the second oldest trick in the book.
Dr. James Wilson: You're right. It's his fault because his stupid.
Dr. Gregory House: He wasn't abusing the booze and taking the cough remedy medicinally. He was abusing the cough meds taking the booze medicinally. Bravo.
James Sidas: I don't think I could live without her.
Dr. Gregory House: You'd be surprised what you could live without.
James Sidas: You what the difference between her IQ and mine is? 91 points. In relation, she's closer to a gibbon than she is to me. Having sex with her would be an act of bestiality.
Dr. Eric Foreman: You really think you'd be happier with someone who could spell better?
James Sidas: No. That's the problem. I'm the one who's a jerk. But I owe her everything. I want to want to be with her. And when I'm clear... I can't.
Ronnie: Is the wait always this long?
Dr. Gregory House: Only on days that end in "day".
Ronnie: Don't you ever shave?
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah, once a week. How about you?
Ronnie: Every now and then, are you this rude to all your patients.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh yes! Don't think your special.
Dr. Gregory House: Sorry, I can't remember if I mocked you yet for being a male nurse?
Nurse Jeffrey: I think this counts.
Dr. Gregory House: Fair enough.
Dr. Chris Taub: That's what this is about? You think I'm a wuss?
Dr. Chris Taub: He made you miss Thanksgiving dinner.
Dr. Gregory House: Sorry to inconvenience you. Dying patients can be so thoughtless.
Dr. Chris Taub: Don't....
Dr. Gregory House: Great comeback! Is that Oscar Wilde? Come on people...
Dr. Gregory House: What about you? Got any predicatable dribble you'd like to add?
Dr. Robert Chase: I think they've given you enough already.
Dr. Gregory House: Well at least they're trying. They're not just sitting there like roadkill. Give me something! Give me something or I'll get your ex-smarter half on the phone and ask her!
Dr. Eric Foreman: House.
[Chase walks onto House and punches him across the face.]
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I heard. Gonna be pressing charges?
Dr. Gregory House: Against the ottoman I tripped over?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Against Chase?
Dr. Gregory House: Pretty sure the ottoman was acting alone.
James Sidas: It's lonely, isn't it?
Dr. Gregory House: It's not that bad.
James Sidas: Then you're not that smart.
James Sidas: Easier on your conscience if I die an idiot?
Dr. Gregory House: What's a conscience?
Dr. Gregory House: Sixteen splenectomies. Pretty sure he gets a set of steak knives.
Dr. Gregory House: Guess I deserved it.
Dr. Robert Chase: Well, if I thought that, I wouldn't be apologizing.
Dr. Gregory House: Your fist slipped?
Dr. Robert Chase: Everyone kept bugging me. Asking if I was okay.
Dr. Gregory House: So you busted my nose to keep people off your back?
Dr. Robert Chase: Pretty much.
Dr. Gregory House: Making people even more worried about you.
Dr. Robert Chase: Maybe, but at least they're not talking to me about it.
Dr. Gregory House: ...Fair enough.
Dr. Robert Chase: Cheers.
Dr. Chris Taub: Einstein's giving himself the lobotomy and you're cool with that?
Dr. Gregory House: Ignorance is bliss.

Christmas along Orchard Road
Our wedding anniversary stay in Quincy Hotel wouldn't be complete withoout a trip down Orchard Road. Although we didn't have enough time and energy to stroll down the entire length of Orchard Road -- there's simply too much to see -- we did get to see the best of the malls along Orchard Road have to offer.

Our Third Year Anniversary!
We celebrated our third year wedding anniversary at Quincy Hotel where we spent three days and two nights. It is a very nice place, very near Orchard Road and offers special discounts for permanent residents and citizens.
What's more, we get complimentary breakfast, lunch AND dinner buffets! I honestly don't remember any other hotel which offers three complimentary meals per day. Of course if you're in town to visit the entire place, you normally can't go back to the hotel for lunch. (Well, not us! Hehehe)
Anyway, here's some shots that we took of the place.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 7 - Teamwork
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You took a patient's life, you lied about it for weeks, you broke who knows how many laws and oaths to cover it up... But I can live with it. we can go through it together.
Dr. Groegory House: This envelope is oddly... medical license-shaped.
Dr. Eric Foreman: House is back in charge. We get to treat a porn star.
Dr. Robert Chase: Congratulations.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Perfect timing for us.
Dr. Robert Chase: We're leaving the team. And the hospital, effective immediately.
Hank: It's a job. Once you start letting your worklife rule your homelife, expecially if you're on the same line of work, your relationships gonna be short.
Dr. Gregory House: Jew with megalophalus, photophobia, and muscle spasm. You tell me which is the most unusual.
Dr. Gregory House: The only obstacle to you coming back is your wife... which has never been that much of an obstacle to you.
Dr. Gregory House: Taub thinks it's a brain issue. Thireen thinks it's multi-focal.
Dr. Eric Foreman: And neither of them wants to work here.
Dr. Gregory House: Don't take their words for it. Taub's problem is his wife. Thirteen's problem is you. Chase and Cameron's problem is the dead African dictator. None of them have a problem with the work.
Dr. James Wilson: There are a thousand people in the world who want to be on your staff. But you're going after the four who *don't*.
Dr. Gregory House: They "don't" because their lives are irrelevantly and annoyingly complicated. Which makes them confused. Which makes them make poor decisions.
Dr. James Wilson: And your life is simple? You went all the way up to the medical conference to cozy up to Cuddy. Instead, she's dating one of two people in the world you think of was a friend. There's no way that's not devastating.
Dr. Gregory House: So I had an attraction of sorts...
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah... The sort in which your imaginary tryst landed you in a mental hospital.
Dr. Gregory House: And I got help. She got Lucas. Who bought me a ginger ale. It's all fine. Which won't be true of my department unless I figure out which doctor I'm not hiring.
Dr. James Wilson: I supposed throwin yourself into your work isn't the worst thing you could do.
Dr. Gregory House: What is the worst thing I could do?
Dr. James Wilson: Long pause... then sigh...
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Divorcing sex from all emotional content?
Lexa: Emotion is emotional. Sex is mechanical. It doesn't really need to be any overlap.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Certainly not in your world.
Dr. Robert Chase: You think you can escape the consequences, but you can't. you don't get to make your own rules on morals.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: I've forgiven him.
Dr. Gregory House: Not from murder. Not you. Doesn't matter how evil Dibala was. By every conscience-hugging, Mother Theresa-loving bone in your body, you should be leaving him, not leaving with him.
Dr. Gregory House: A - my firing Chase was the only reason you left two years ago. B - When the full horror of his homocide hits you, your marriage will blow up. And Z - the only obstacle to you working here will be gone. Or maybe I skipped a couple letters.
Dr. Robert Chase: In other words, you're committed except when you're not committed. Doesn't work so well if you have a conscience.
Hank: Conscience? You mean that thing that kicks in when there's no logical reason to behave the way people want you to.
Dr. Remy Hadley: Do you have feelings for me or not?
Dr. Eric Foreman: I don't want our work lives to have anything to do with our personal lives.
Dr. Remy Hadley: You couldn't keep them separate. I mean *that's* why our personal lives don't exist.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I know you're upset with me because I did'nt choose to date your best friend. But I'm living my life. For the first time, I'm not gonna change that because of how it might affect him or you.
Lucas: This is very insulting. You're apparently shocked by this which means that you thought that there was someway that we could date, get married, have two kids, a dog, retire to Florida, all without House finding out. Or... you thought that we wouldn't date that long. The first means your delusional. The second means I'm delusional. Technically, it could also mean that you thought House had matured, but then we're back to you're being *cuckoo*.
Lucas: I'm also flattered. Yeah, 'coz you acted all-cool and everything with Wilson, but you feel comfortable enough with me that you could freak out. That's cool.
Dr. Gregory House: She thinks that you don't have anything to feel guilty about. Because you didn't kill anybody. I did. She blames me for Dibala's murder, not you.
Dr. Robert Chase: You were barely involved in that case. She knows that.
Dr. Gregory House: I created the big bad evil climate that allowed it to happen.
Dr. Robert Chase: Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to screw things up?
Dr. Gregory House: You got the tense wrong. Things are already screwed up. Which is why you don't just want to work for me. You need to. Cameron thinks your my personal sock puppet. If you don't stay, gonna be hard to prove you're not.
Dr. Gregory House: You've ended your self-destructive streak. You want to do something significant. Something that lasts longer than the few years you have left. My team is your first best choice.
Dr. Gregory House: Absolutely, you should do that. Three hours a week. Every doctor should. Coz every doctor can. But you don't want to be every doctor. Plus on my team you get to screw with Foreman...every way but literally.
Lucas: Emotionally, you may be you want to run away. But in my experience, if you're staring at a pitbull in some guys backyard, you're better off staying right where you are. Face the problem. That way, it can't bite you in the ass.
Dr. Robert Chase: What I did may be the worst thing I ever did. It may be the best I'm either a murderer or a guy who stopped a mass murderer. But I did it. Me. And even if it destroys me. I'd do again today.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You don't mean that. This isn't you.
Dr. Robert Chase: I'm not running away from what I did because you want me to pretend I never did it.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: If that's how you feel - okay.
Dr. Gregory House: So his life of filth wasn't the problem. Clean living was.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: I was in love with you. I was an idiot. Tried to be like you. Tried to understand you. Because - thought I could heal you. You almost killed that patient.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You did kill Dibala. By playing God and teaching us to do the same.
Dr. Gregory House: I taught you to think for yourselves.
Dr. Gregory House: Your husband killed a patient, and you're breaking up with me?
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You ruined him... So he can't even see right from wrong. Can't even see the sanctity of human life any more. I loved you. And I loved Chase. I'm sorry for both of you. For what you've become. Because... there's no way back for either of you.
Dr. Groegory House: This envelope is oddly... medical license-shaped.
Dr. Eric Foreman: House is back in charge. We get to treat a porn star.
Dr. Robert Chase: Congratulations.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Perfect timing for us.

Pacquiao wins WBO Welterweight Belt
After twelve intense rounds of fighting, the Pacman gets the WBO Welterweight Championship and becoming the first ever boxer to hold championship in seven different weight divisions! SEVEN! Proud to be Pinoy! Congratulations to the Pacman!
The First
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Aside from the the late great Corazon Aquino, he is the only Filipino in recent memory who has become a "first" in anything globally. The very first boxer to be a champion in seven weight divisions. (Yep, can't get tired saying or writing it.) The first! The first!
The first... (Ooh yeah.)
What more could the Filipino people ask for. The most famous Filipino in the world today has now captured the hallmark of excellence. He will go down in history books with this very distinct honor.
Truly one of the greats in our lifetime...
Not without a scratch
The Pacman admitted this is a tough battle. And we can see why in his interviews following the match. The right side of his head is a bit swollen... A testament to Miguel Cotto whom many -- including the Pacman himself -- respect.
We should all raise our hats to Miguel Cotto. He may have lost, but he did not go down easy. I watched their fight several times. Have you seen the crazy flurry and powerful hooks Pacman delivered? If it were some other opponent, he would have probably been knocked out or have given up in the early or middle rounds.
Miguel Cotto was different.
After his last match, he set out to prove something to himself and all the boxing fans. He may have gone down, but he did not go down easy. At certain points, he gave Pacman a run for his money.
Though knocked down twice and defeated in the end, he never gave up -- it was the ref who stopped the match, if you remember. But I imagine that Cotto could easily have gone the distance. To stand toe to toe with the PacMan in tweleve rounds is no easy feat. The guts that this guy has! Talk about intestinal fortitude.
We're so happy that Cotto gave his all for this fight and for giving PacMan the competition that he deserves. In this fight, he undoubtedly brought out the best in Pacquiao.
This is but a setback for Cotto. This is not the end of the line for him. We can and should expect more from him in the future. Go Cotto!
Worth every cent
With such a long, drawn-out battle, no one who watched the fight could say that they have been short-changed. After a long time, we see Pacquiao at his best, battling twelve rounds. Almost an entire hour filled with excitement.
No easy knockdowns. No easy fights. No instant victories. Just twelve rounds of pure boxing at its best!
I remember a friend saying that in Pacquiao's previous fight, he just went out to buy some cigarettes. When he returned, the match was over. Not the case here. :)
It was a great match that was great to watch over and over again. We never get tired of watching two fighters at their very best.
What's next
Everyone already knows the answer to that: Pacquiao vs Mayweather! Fans are saying it. Commentators are saying it. Even Roach is saying it. Everything has been building up to this dreammatch. The former Pound-for-Pound champion versus the current Pound-for-Pound Champion! Mayweather vs Pacquiao! Pacquiao vs Mayweather!
We'll see what they can cook up with next year.
Though I agree with Aling Dionisia (the Pacman's mother): he should stop and retire. If not now, very soon. Better to stop while you're ahead. Better to retire as a champion that to retire because you got old and was defeated by a younger, fresher boxer.
Anyway, he said he was boxing so that his family doesn't have to work hard anymore. I don't think that was ever the case eversince he became a star. In spite of the recent crisis, he and his family is set for life. No need to pound and get pounded to feed his family. He should have more than enough by this time.
Parkinson's disease (Mohammad Ali), post-concussion syndrome (Bret Hart), and other trauma-related conditions are very real threats to those in this line of business. It's only a matter of time before a bad luck -- in the form of a younger and better fighter or a small accident -- could unravel all that he has achieved. Though not necessarily true, this does make a lot of sense: "You're only as good as your last match." This is Pacman's best match so far... Connect the dots...
Provide financial support for his family. Check.
Bring pride, honor, and glory to Filipinos around the world. Check.
Be the first boxer to be champ in seven weight divisions. Check.
Do movies with beautiful ladies. Erm... Check. (more on that later LOL!)
Only other thing I could think of that he needs to cross out of his list is his fight with Mayweather. But after that, I think it's best for him to retire.
Oh well, enough about that.
Congratualations to Manny Pacman Pacquiao for the win. Kudos to Miguel Cotto for the fight that he brought with him. Good work Bob Arum and Top Rank for setting up a great match. ;)

Kung kailan pinakamadilim
Ang mga tala ay mas nagniningning
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan
Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan
Dumaan man sa malakas na alon
Lahat tayo’s makakaahon
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Kikislap ang pag-asa

Mr. Keener: I'm sure that happens to you a lot more.
Dr. James Wilson: We're all murderers we just don't have the guts to admit.
Dr. Gregory House: And once again, WHO CARES? You won't be hireable anywhere!
Dr. James Wilson: It there's one thing I've learned from you, it's that I should do what I think is right, and not to worry about the consequences.
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah, it's worked out great for me.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I'm a mother now. I need a guy I can count on every single day. Never been House.
Dr. Robert Chase: You're angry at me! You're taking it out on this guy 'coz you think he's lying to you, too, and you're gonna kill our patient in the process.
Dr. Robert Chase: We should call House.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Yeah. He'll recommend we take the cautious approach.
Dr. Gregory House: Studies show that 10 dollar wine tastes better if you told it costs 90 dollars. I'm sure the same thing has to be true for grape soda. Have one.
Dr. James Wilson: Yes you can sit here running up my hotel bill. Or you can go get the woman of your dreams...
Dr. Gregory House: I didn't know Angela Merkel was attending the conference?
Dr. James Wilson: I just spoke with Cuddy. She doesn't think you're reliable. And you will remain friend-zone until that changes.
Dr. Gregory House: I can't convince her I've changed my entire personality in a weekend?
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah, but you could make the first step.
Dr. Gregory House: Words can hurt you know?
Lucas: This is awkward.
Dr. Gregory House: A bit. That awkwardness should be probably be away if I left.
Dr. Gregory House: Euthanasia. Let's tell the truth. We all do it. We just don't talk about it. We play the game. Use other words or we don't use any words at all. Hmmm. Nice phrasing...
Dr. James Wilson: Hello... I don't know what department I want. I need... pants.
Dr. Gregory House: I've never given any less than my best. I am incapable of turning away from responsibility. My friends take advantage of that fact far too often. I know that I gave that man everything I could. I know that he knew that too...
Dr. Gregory House: This is a burden no one should have to carry alone. Because this is a decision no one should make alone. 'Coz frankly, I don't trust any of you.
Dr. James Wilson: What the hell? You think that little shout out is gonna make me forget that you drugged me, hid my pants, stole my speech?
Dr. Gregory House: You wanted your paper out there? It's out there. And your job is safe.
Dr. Gregory House: Is that the mom? I got a good comeback against the mom...
The Mother:Yes, I'm her mother.
Dr. Gregory House: Sure she needs blood... If you want to KILL her! Then you would have nobody to neglect.
Dr. Gregory House: Now, Cameron, pick up the phone and give me a dramatic exit.
Dr. James Wilson: When you do what I did, it's not enough to tell yourself you did nothing wrong. You need to hear it from someone else. If not God, or society, a friend. Otherwise you go crazy. What you said to me up there... Thank you. You're a good friend. Cuddy should know that.
Dr. Gregory House: You should let her know I drugged you so you couldn't confess to murder.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Sorry. I don't know why I always suspect the worst. If you say you're not having an affar, you're not having an affair...
Dr. Robert Chase: sigh
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Oh God, you are..
Dr. Robert Chase: I'm not.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Okay. Sorry. Again.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: If you don't want to tell... okay. But I could help. Whatever this is, it's eating away at you. We could get past it together. I love you no matter what.
Dr. Robert Chase: We lose patients sometimes. One of those patients... Dibala... We didn't actually lose him... I killed him.
Dr. Gregory House: So is Ramadan.
Dr. Gregory House: Could you be sitting any further away from Chase and still be in the same room?
Dr. Eric Foreman: Maybe this is House's way of telling you to talk to her.
Dr. Robert Chase: Sure. How was your day, honey? By the way, I killed someone. If I tell her, it's dumping a burden on her forever...
Dr. Gregory House: I guess it's no big deal. I'm just using that as an excuse to check out Patty and Selma.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Well, I feel bad. I haven't named your testicles.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I don't know why you choose to name them after somebody's aunts.
Dr. Gregory House: It's a complement. they're always smoking.
Dr. Gregory House: Your outbox is three times normal size. it's not a metaphor.
Dr. Gregory House: That I have a case, yeah. You're authorizing a discharge now. That was a metaphor.
Dr. James Wilson: Why are you reading my program guide ? It's not like you plan on attending any of the presentations.
Dr. Gregory House: I'd like to know how much boredom I'm missing.
Dr. James Wilson: If you want her, ask her out.
Dr. Gregory House: My God man, she's not some floozy in a bar. She's the floozy I work for. Gotta be no radical steps here, gonna be subtle. We happen to attend the same party. Chat happens to turn personal...
Dr. James Wilson: Like the frog in gradually boiling water?
Dr. Gregory House: Exactly. She'll be red and delicious before you know it.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Is he having an affair?
Dr. Eric Foreman: No.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Why should I believe you?
Dr. Eric Foreman: You shouldn't. You should believe him.
Mr. Keener: They were hard to miss with all the giggling and the staring.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: I'm sure that happens a lot.
Mr. Keener: I'm sure that happens to you a lot more.

Playing iAssociate in iPhone...
Been playing around with the game iAssociate in iPhone. It's a really interesting game, interesting enough for me to buy it for USD1.99 :))
It's a simple word association game. You start out with one main "theme" word, which is already associated with several other words. Your only clues are the number of characters per word. In the demo version (which is the same as the first puzzle of the full version), you start out with the theme "Out of the blue" starting with the word Blue. Best to watch the video below:
Note it shows the number of "characters", not letters; oh yes, numbers and punctuation marks are included too! Figuring that out sooner could save you some time ;)
As of the moment, we have completed three levels: Out of the blue, Surfing the web, and Theme:Comics and Cartoons. Had some "web" help for the first and last one, while we did the middle one on our own, without help.
The Good:
Gameplay is very simple and straighforward. You have a word, think of words associated with that word, enter it. If its correct, you get clues to other words associated with it. Lather, rinse, repeat until you solve all of the words.
It's a great brainteaser and in some weird way shows just how much you know. For us, being able to complete the Surfing the web theme shows that we are very familiar with the web -- not surprising since we're both IT people. We had a hard time for some of the themes, such as some cartoon characters that we barely know about.
Once you solve some puzzles, you get some trivia about things. Pretty interesting for the bookish, I-like-to-read-a-lot-of-books type of person.
The Bad:
Like all puzzle games of this sort, it has very little replay value. Once you have figured out a puzzle, there's really no point retrying that puzzle again -- unless maybe if you have absolutely a lot of time to spare and you aim only to best your score -- the fastest time to solve a puzzle/theme.
Also, it might be frustrating at some points particularly for puzzles/theme that you have little or no knowledge whatsoever.
Of course, that's part of the challenge. But the sad thing is, once you know the answers, there's really no turning back; once you know, you know, and the puzzle is solved... Unless you have a way of "unremembering" stuff, you really can "enjoy" this game as long as you haven't solve the puzzle yet.
Oh well, better make my 2 bucks worth it. Hmm... What's a phrase consisting of 3 words (3+9+10 characters long), the first wword being 'The' that is associated to "Prison" and "Stephen King"?

More Christmas tree pictures
Since I've been working night shifts the past few days -- well, erm, nights actually -- Che continued working on our new Christmas tree. Quite amazing how one item can spruce things up a bit -- referring to the big snowflakes decorating the tree.
She took some more pictures which is posted in her blog here.

Building our Christmas Tree '09
After two years in Singapore, this is the first time that we're building our own Christmas tree. This is also the only time that I remember that we ever made a Christmas tree during Halloween! :)) Hehehe...
Here are some shots of our Christmas tree building last night...
And that's just the beginning! It starts with a tree, then some more wreaths, some garlands, some more decors... before you know it, it's Chrismas-y all over :)

Getting back on the groove...
It's been a while since I last posted something on this or any of my blogs. Ever since, well... after the whole ordeal we had with Angel. Read more on Che's post here.
This has been a most difficult thing for me to write about. She's supposed to be our first baby... and out first big loss...
Don't want to dwell too much on this. We're just moving on.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 5 - Brave Heart
Dr. James Wilson: Oh God! I'll be back in ten!
Dr. Gregory House: I'm picking lint out of my bellybutton.
Dr. Gregory House: You didn't want me to sleep where you and Amber slept. After she died, you converted the study a bedroom, the bedroom to a study. Except it's not a study, it's a shrine.
Dr. James Wilson: I'm not ready to transition from my dead girlfriend's shrine to your... morning glory. I'll have the mattresses delivered and set up for you in a tabernacle. I just need it Tuesdays for animal sacrifices.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Patient's a genetic timebomb.
Dr. Gregory House: There's no fuse. It's not a bomb. Right now he isn't a patient either.
Dr. Eric Foreman: You saying we ignore three generations of cardiac problems?
Dr. Gregory House: I'm not ignoring it. I'm labelling it a coincidence.
Dr. Gregory House: He's only agreeing with you because he wants to have sex with you. And by the way, I agree with you, too. Especially in those pants.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I need to know what your plans are.
Dr. Gregory House: First we take Berlin. Then we circle around behind Poland and yell surprise.
Dr. Robert Chase: I've crossed some line that I'm having trouble getting back to the other side.
Dr. Gregory House: Now I've done it! There's urine everywhere! Gosh! Great thing about the teacher-student relationship is that the teacher can often learn more from the student... Have you learned anything yet?
Dr. Gregory House: Great contributions back there.
Dr. Robert Chase: There's no case. I have nothing to add.
Dr. Gregory House: You've a little devil on your shoulder told you to kill a guy. And you've got a little angel won't shut up. Telling you, you're going to burn in a lake of fire.
Dr. Robert Chase: I'm fine!
Dr. Gregory House: You shouldn't be! Talk to someone. Docs fixed me up in 7 weeks. You're... 10 minutes, tops.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Whatever it is, we all missed it.
Dr. Gregory House: I missed the fact that there is something to miss. What is wrong with me.
Dr. Gregory House: Quick cut to the moenyshot. It's his heart. So let's look at his heart...
Dr. Eric Foreman: You can't perform an autopsy without a medical license.
Dr. Gregory House: Really? 'Coz I don't think there's anything I could screw up that we hadn't already screwed up...
Dr. Gregory House: I had some dental work done in the Philippines when I was a kid. Adjoining metal fillings can corrode, pick up AM radio signals...
Dr. Anne Ayala: I can only tell you that you're hearing things as you should. If you're also hearing sounds you shouldn't, well that would be psychosis. You'd have to talk to someone who does the brain. I only do ears.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Bravo! It's amazing how you did a hundred and twenty hours in one day!
Dr. James Wilson: If you need to talk. If you need more help. I'm right here.
Dr. Gregory House: Great. can you be right here somewhere else?
Dr. Gregory House: You know.
Dr. James Wilson: That you're an ass? Yeah. You overheard me talking to my dead girlfriend and thought to yourself "Hmmm... What kind of fun can I have with this?"
Dr. Gregory House: Why are you talking to her? You run out of living people? You can talk to me. I'm right here.
Dr. James Wilson: I miss her. Talking to her makes me feel better. You don't.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Either you did have a problem, which I can't ignore. Or you were jerking me around, which I can't ignore.
Dr. Gregory House: You're a woman. You can do anything.
Marta: No wonder she hates him.
Nona: Mmm. That's not hate. It's foreplay.
Dr. Gregory House: Are you getting some help? Or is this how things are gonna be from now on? You know what's pathetic is you haven't gotten help because you want to feel bad. You want to suffer. 'Coz if you feel guilty, then you're not a psychopath. Patient needs some carbonazapine. Now, I don't care how much that room scares you. You're doing your job.
Dr. Robert Chase: Why? Tell me what's sacred about a dictator that kills hundreds of thousands of his own people?
Priest: What is sacred of a doctor who kills a patient?
Priest: You can't have absolution without first taking responsibility.
Dr. Gregory House: Good. I thought it was because of the sexual tension.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: There is no sexual tension.
Dr. Gregory House: There was tension and... it made me feel funny, so...
Donny: How do I know you're still not lying to me? Saying I'm healthy so I just feel better?
Dr. Gregory House: It does sound that way, doesn't it? But this time, no sugar pills. I'm gonna cut into your brain to make you think that I'm fixing it. And if our fake test confirms, I'm gonna be cutting into you son's brain, too, 'coz I'm just that committed?
Dr. Gregory House: That's what I thought. The "saving-the-kid-from-pain" stuff was crap. You just don't want anything in your life that won't let you do whatever the hell you wanna do whenever the hell you wanna do it. You've had it easy. Sorry to screw you up.
Dr. James Wilson: You see? He really is getting better.
Dr. Gregory House: I'm picking lint out of my bellybutton.

House M.D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 4 - Instant Karma
This summary is not available. Please

Gaga over Plants vs Zombies!
Been playing Plants vs Zombies for a few days -- erm, maybe a few weeks? Hehehe... Yeah, one of my latest addictions today. :) A very nice casual game, where you strategically place your plants to stop the onslaught of zombies which are after your brains.Simple, entertaining, and extremely replayable. With several modes to choose from, you can zone out for hours before realizing that the sun is already up. (Yeah... Been there, done that...)
Here's my Plants vs Zombies list:
My Top Five Favorite Plants:
(Note these are my favorites, not necessarily the best plants in the game)
5 - Cherry Bomb - very cheap "panic button" for taking out all zombies within a small area.
4 - Spikerock - the upgraded version of Spikeweed deals out significant damage to all zombies who walk on it. Plus it can take out several zombie vehicles. And it is the toughest plant in the game, able to withstand six strikes from the biggest zombie Gargantuar.
3 - Winter Melon - massive slowing/freezing damage that can take out several zombies at once. Simple and straightforward.
2 - Cattail - perhaps the best aquatic plant in the game; it can target any zombies in any lane and it can pop those annoying balloon zombies out of the sky.
1 - Gloom Shroom - short-range fast attacker; all you need is a good strategy and you're all set.
My Top Five Annoying Zombies:
5 - Balloon Zombies - forces you to reconsider playing with Cactuses in stages where Cattails can't be used.
4 - Digger Zombie - digs all the way to the end of the lane and eats your plants from behind; makes you think twice about defending not only your frontline, but also your rear.
3 - Jack-in-the-Box Zombie - left unchecked, this fast-moving zombie can wreak havoc on your frontlines; the zombie equivalent of the Cherry Bomb.
2 - Zombonis - it has high toughness, can crush your plants, and lays out ice on its wake where you can't plant. And if that's not enough, the length of ice provides the launching pad for the zombie bobsled team.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 3 - The Tyrant
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I'm not asking you to love him. I'm asking you to do your job.
Dr. Robert Chase: Possibly incomprehensible... And of course, I'm talking about you firing your girlfriend.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh my God! It's three years ago! Does that mean I'm still crazy?
Dr. Gregory House: You're rushing the diagnosis because you're rushing out of this room 'coz you're rightly upset at me. Although I wasn't the one who made that asinine decision...
Dibala: There was a Catholic mission in my childhood village and I like the priests. They were good people. But when my two younger sisters were dying from consumption, it wasn't more priests we wanted.
Dr. Gregory House: It's a process. I'm learning.
Dr. Remy Hadley: Because there's a much simpler explanation for you firing me. You wanted to break up with me but you were weak to do it yourself.
Dr. James Wilson: How was your first day of school?
Dr. Gregory House: I peed once in the sandbox.
Dr. James Wilson: How was it with Cuddy?
Dr. Gregory House: What did you think I was talking about?
Dr. James Wilson: I think you're losing your sense of mind.
Dr. Gregory House: Check right now. Pull my finger.
Dr. James Wilson: Yes. Shoes. Garlic. I'm vampire, Sookie..
Dr. Gregory House: I told you to get that echo fixed!
Dr. Gregory House: Coping skill number 1: complete avoidance. Are you happy?
Dr. Gregory House: The Egypt visit was for the African union meeting where I'm guessing he was "meeting" people from "Africa" which includes Liberia, which sends some numbers of their foreign ministry which has itself has just been hit by jockage. Wait not jockage... Lassa fever...
Dr. Remy Hadley: Most people send chocolates.
Dr. Eric Foreman: I'd stand outside your apartment all night holding up a boombox, except you told me you hate 80s music...
Neighbor: I was wondering what that noise was. It's the damn cane.
Dr. Gregory House: And I'm Greg.
Dr. Gregory House: Only in the sense that it has a rubber tip on the end not a top shoe.
Dr. Gregory House: I'm just gonna sit here quietly. I feel like I've been inadvertently undermining your authority. So I'm just gonna observe. Not gonna say a word.
Dr. Gregory House: Uhh, I need you to spread your legs so I can do an "H".
Dr. James Wilson: It's just a wild coincidence that he thought you were a rude jerk?
Dr. James Wilson: Normally we'd all tell the amputee to go screw himself.
Dr. Gregory House: Victims get pity, heroes get adulation. It's way better.
Dr. James Wilson: It's easy to be nice to people you like. But being nice to people you hate... that's a skill. DO IT!
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Am I trying to kill our patient? Of course not. But if he died, am I supposed just to pretend that wouldn't be good for the world?
Dr. Gregory House: Thought I had detected the sickly sweet smell of maple syrup and socialized medicine. It smells like victory.
Neighbor: They sent troops to reinforce the peace accords. Which is where I tried to free a twelve-year-old boy who stepped on a landmine. 36 years later, every second, I feel pain in my had like I'm still grabbing that boy's arm even though my arm isn't there. So no, I'm not faking it.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh. On a related note, go Maple Leaves.
Dr. Eric Foreman: This isn't a democracy. I don't care who you get. At least for right now, this is MY department.
Dibala: I did her a favor. I showed her her true character. She's too weak to act on her beliefs. But it is not her fault. Almost everyone is. Even my own advisors -- my own colonel -- all they do is negotiate and debate and sign treaties. They are appeasers...
Dibala: What is an enemy to you? Some younger physician who coverts your office? In my world, there are dangers and bloodshed and death. And that makes you a a man. And men make choices.
Dr. Robert Chase: I saved your life. I deserve to know what you're planning...
Dibala: Whatever it takes to protect my country!
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: But there's some deep part of you, that when you find you're wrong about the most important decisions you've made, you get insecure and you just retrench. Try to mess up your relationship that's your right, but you mess this up, your patient dies.
Dr. Gregory House: If you believe in God, pray that this is gonna work. I'd also ask him why he blew off your arm.
Dr. Gregory House: So either you killed him by not having confidence in your opinion, or you killed him by being too attached to your opinion. If you are anything like me -- and by the way you are -- you need to know which.
Dr. Gregory House: There's a reason I hired you. You used to know what to do with a locked door...
Dr. Eric Foreman: You really think you can kill another human being without consequences to yourself?
Dr. Robert Chase: Possibly incomprehensible... And of course, I'm talking about you firing your girlfriend.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh my God! It's three years ago! Does that mean I'm still crazy?

House M.D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 2 - Epic Fail
Dr. House: I quit...
Dr. Foreman: You can't quit
Dr. House: I think you're confusing me with Jake Gyllenhal.
Dr. House: I'm sorry. I know this will affect both of you... and Thirteen... and the one with the nose... I just can't risk coming back here.
Dr. Cuddy: House was a genius.
Dr. Foreman: House was an egotistical pill-popping lawsuit magnet... and a genius.
Dr. Hadley: You're the boss. It's kinda sexy.
Dr. Taub: And here I thought it's just the pants.
Dr. Foreman: Look at that. No House, the job still gets done.
Dr. Hadley: And yet something's missing.
Dr. Taub: I'm short. He's black. You're gay-ish.
Dr. Hadley: That's it.
Dr. Cameron: You know how House feels about people touching his ball.
Dr. Foreman: No. Chase refuses to tell me.
Dr. Cameron: Taub and Thirteen cool with it? He's older than you. She's seen you naked.
Dr. Foreman: Not like we haven't been working for two years now...
Dr. Cameron: Working with is different than working for.
Dr. Nolan: You need something to keep you engaged... Connected to other people.
Dr. House: You already made me get a roommate. Wilson's got one bedroom. We can't get anymore connected without unzipping.
Vince: Dr. Foreman basically strong armed. Which is impressive.
Dr. Taub: Guess you found him a little more persuasive than the two of us... probably the pants...
Head Chef: In a lot of ways, cooking is like music... Different elements combine to make a symphony.
Dr. House: The difference is that Beethoven's 5th isn't to be cooped tomorrow.
Dr. Wilson: What was my one condition for allowing you to tag along?
Dr. House: Try not to be a jerk. I'm trying. I'm just failing.
Dr. Wilson: Throw your meatballs and keep an open mind. <pause> How hard are you trying not to make a bald joke right now?
Dr. Wilson: You might have... saved my balls.
Dr. House: That's the spirit!
Dr. Hadley: First you try to act like him, that doesn't work. So then you try the opposite. Now you're mad because you have to use his move.
Dr. Foreman: Feel like Tom Brady's backup...
Dr. Hadley: Tom Brady's backup now makes ten million dollars. Stop comparing...
Cecille: If she's a missionary, why does she dress like a hooker?
Dr. House: I meant the position.
Dr. House: We flirted. We kissed. I fondled. I hallucinated the night when you yelled from the hospital balcony. You're not a narcissist.
Dr. Cuddy: So what am I?
Dr. House: Not the reason I'm leaving.
Cecille: Lady, either kiss him or leave. We've got work to do.
Dr. Taub: I'm sorry I just realized. Joint pain and joint pain. Honest, I wasn't laughing because of the obvious tension between the two of you.
Dr. House: Daddy's little co-dependent has all grown up. Making room for daddy's hot bisexual boyfriend problems.
Dr. Hadley: This might be the best thing I've ever eaten... And yes, I'm including what your thinking of now.
Dr. House: How like a man to think that I'd enjoy slimming over hot stove all day while you're off banging secretaries.
Dr. Nolan: I didn't let you out because you were happy. I let you out because I believe you have the skills to cope with that. You tried one thing. It didn't work. So, move on.
Dr. Foreman: The internet is a magical place!
Dr. Foreman: No point in treating the symptom and not the disease.
Dr. House: If you wanted a quickie, you should have called ahead. I'm a mess.
Vince: You're my doctor. I trust you.
Dr. Foreman: No you don't. You're scared and you don't want to make this decision... My career is riding on this case. Nowhere near as important as your life. But I think the best shot for both of us is to treat for LCDD.
Dr. House: No. The only thing you know is that I'm a genius who got a dog to pee in your toilet. You don't know how I did it or more interestingly where I peed.
Dr. House: If the lab says this is retriever, too, please let me know right away. 'Explain my overwhelming desire to wipe my butt on your carpet.
Dr. Nolan: Isolation fosters depression.
Dr. Nolan: The only thing worse for you than going back to diagnostic medicine is... not going back...
Dr. Foreman: You can't quit
Dr. House: I think you're confusing me with Jake Gyllenhal.

House M.D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 1 - Broken
Dr. House: Wow! And he's BLACK.. 'Thought you'd be a little more sensitive to the slavery issue.
Dr. House: I AM a lot better. No painkillers. No hallucinations. Leg hurts but it's manageable. Great job! I'll miss you. I wanna start missing you as soon as possible.
Dr. Nolan: Your issues run deeper than vicodin.
Dr. House: Well that's not gonna cheer me up, is it?
Dr. House: Oh! I'm sorry. Suicide taboo? Gosh, I've broken a rule on my first day. I will KILL myself.
Dr. Beasley: Ready to play nice?
Dr. House: Would you believe me if I said yes?
Dr. Beasley: No.
Dr. House: Then YES.
Dr. Beasley: Why don't you put the plan on hold for a few days, see what happens. Just let me do my job. If you prefer private to group, we can do that. Maybe try some SSRIs. If you think that's not working, you can always go back to your schemes.
Dr. House: God, if only you said that two minutes ago. Before I came up with my new scheme. Now I'm committed. Ha get it!
Dr. House: Are you ignoring me, or are you just letting my charm wash over you?
Alvie: Thinking sucks.
Dr. House: I see you've got some cello on your trunk... No, it's not a euphemism
Lydia: Are you spying on me?
Dr. House: I'm living in a psychiatric hospital. Staring out the window is what we do.
House: And who's going to carry you when you carry the cello?
Dr. House: Yes, cast aside the useless cripple. How very German of you.
Lydia: Am I somehow a bad person for showing compassion?
Dr. House: No. You're not even a bad person if you're lying about what you're doing in here.
<After Steve falls from the carpark building.>
Dr. House: I need help.
Dr. House: Van Gogh is your patient. He's satisfied painting houses instead of starry night.
Alvie: They broke you.
Dr. House: They didn't break me. I AM broken. Stop worshipping me and start worrying about your own loser life.
Dr. House: I take advantage of my friends... Friend... I only got one...
Dr. House: I did connect with one guy. My propensity for screwing things up overtook me. My desire to have fun overcame my propensity.
Dr. Nolan: Why do you think that people would treat you worse if they know the truth?
Lydia: What you did was misguided... and irresponsible. But it was also nice. You gave him a moment of pure happiness.
Dr. Nolan: Why do you value your failures more than your successes?
Dr. House: My mother caught me masturbating. Pictures of her mother...
Dr. House: Successes only last until someone screws them up. Failures are forever.
Dr. Nolan: So you accept that fact? You accept that there's nothing you can do.
Dr. Nolan:
You acknowledge failure and you move past it. You apologize.
Dr. House: Wow. Powerful things these apologies. For someone to jump off the building and say two words and you go on with your life. Hardly seems fair.
Dr. Nolan: Is that the issue? You caused him pain. If the world is just, you have to suffer equally? You're not God, House. You're just another screwed up human being who needs to move on. Apologize to him. Let yourself feel better. Then you can learn to let yourself keep feeling better.
Dr. Nolan: Two things just happened. You got hurt, which means you got connected to someone else strongly enough to miss them. And more important, you recognize the pain and came to talk to me instead of hiding from it in the vicodin bottle. The fact that you're hurting and you came here, the fact that you're taking your meds, and we're talking right now... Come inside and get some sleep. Tomorrow you can say your goodbyes.
Dr. House: I AM a lot better. No painkillers. No hallucinations. Leg hurts but it's manageable. Great job! I'll miss you. I wanna start missing you as soon as possible.
