Hey dudes! Massa P has recently been told that “Talksmart” over at The Composed Gentleman has added my blog to a weekly poll contest pitting 10 lucky blogs to battle for the so shiny title of “Filipino Blog of the Week”. While I am honoured just to be nominated, I’d rather win Week 47. At the very least, give me enough love votes to remain in the contest indefinitely because the poll is refreshed weekly - 5 blogs with the highest votes are retained and the other 5 are dropped. Show me the love! Vote for Pedro!
Since I’ve already lost almost 2 days of shameless self-promotion (and a number of votes), pretty please vote for me NOW on as many computers with different IPs. You can vote EVERY DAY and each vote is tracked by your computer’s IP address. Let my Grade 1 Math teacher, Miss Fernandes the Abusive Ear-tweaking Old Bat explain to y’all the twinkly magic of math (of course, minus the ear tweaks, head slaps, eye glares and scolding):
BEAUTIFUL SHINY YOU = 1 Computer = 1 IP Address = 1 Vote Per Day
1 Computer with Unique IP Address x 5 Days = 5 Votes
2 Computers with Unique IP Addresses x 5 Days = 10 Votes
5 Computers with Unique IP Addresses x 5 Days = 25 Votes
For example: 1 Computer @ Work or School and 1 @ Home and so on… Are we clear? Umm, if those numbers are wrong, it’s because the Old Bat gave me too many head slaps for not knowing the answer to 5 x 5 in Week 2 of Grade 1. Now, you may be thinking, “But you’re a software tester trained to break systems! Surely you would know that it’d be so easy to cheat by spoofing / forging an IP address, using a proxy, going to websites that allow you to surf anonymously or even writing your own script to vote multiple times, etc.” (Trust me genius, deleting cookies won’t work.) 
Because, duh, why would I admit that I know how to cheat if I intended to cheat? Besides, cheaters are only cheating themselves and I ALSO HATE ALL CHEATERS. Friends, DO NOT cheat for me. The poll is only all for fun. Instead, let me tell you WHY you should Vote for Pedro, yes legally…
BTW, to vote, hop over to this site (scroll down on that page - the poll is on the left side). Anyway, are you guys familiar with the ferocious Hindu Goddess Kali? According to Wikipedia, Kali is often depicted as having “… four arms and hands. Two of these hands (usually the left) are holding a sword and a severed head. This signifies that in the end she will kill everyone — no one can avoid her as mortal death. The other two hands (usually the right) are in blessing, which means her initiated devotees (or anyone worshipping her with a true heart) will be saved as she will guide them here and in the hereafter.” Kali’s devotees, called Thugees (where the English word “thug” comes from), went around strangling their victims by throwing a yellow scarf or Rumaal (symbolic of Kali) around their necks, and then robbed and buried them… supposedly, to worship her. Uh-huh.
I mean, wowww… Wouldn’t that just make the most awesome Halloween costume? It’s the stuff that nightmares come from! Yikes! A necklace of bloody severed heads? And hellooo, use some hair conditioner and a comb!
Both benevolent AND murderous… Umm, clearly, Kali was one bitchy, bad ass, BI-POLAR deity. 
Soooo, I’ve been thinking, if I ever did want to start my own Cult of fruityoaty… I’d never ask my fruitees to kill for me… or give them yellow scarves because yellow smacks of Big Bird. Oh yikes, a fashion faux pas, Mon Dieu! Purplish… raisin is the new pink, dahhhlings!
To wrap it up, remember to scoot over to this site every day and *VOTE* fruityoaty, otherwise… fruityoaty will be dropped from the list (just like at birth). 
And if you kill for me, I will totally disown your ass and disavow all knowledge of your fou…wl Big Bird deed. But remember, think purple. 
Now, sing with me loudly… Red Hot Chili Peppers - Kali-fornication. 
Adieu,
“All your fruitees are belong to us.”
(Yes, all bad grammar and typos are always intentional here at fruityoaty… because glaring crap detracts from an even bigger problem - lack of good, interesting, useful content. Uh-huh. Kisses.)
I’d kill for you! Here’s my smiley imitation of the dual nature of Goddess Kali: Grrr…
and then… 
See, red tongue?
Oh, I know from first-hand account how you can make software developers cry! Haha! (I don’t look good in purple.)
Voted. Do I get a big box of chocolates?
fruityoaty (software tester breaking systems): “Your registration form takes a long time to refresh if I click ‘Submit’ and then resize the browser window multiple times.”
evilgenius (innocent developer): “Then don’t resize the browser window. Issue solved.” (Sheesh!)
LOL!
Hahahaha! Massa P, you’re so funny. Cracker. Oh, I’d totally kill for you AND I look good in purple AND yellow. (Cheaters SUCK!)
But the question is, can you make a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER CRY? Huh? Huh? Damn annoying QAs.
I did vote for you fruity with all my love!
Are you maybe interested in linking with me?
Kiss
Fendi
Haha… Vote for Pedro!!! Whoot!
Sure… I’ll vote for you whenever I get a chance to go to that site.
Good luck btw!
Good luck in the contest. It sounds like a fun one to be in.
I voted for you and you’re now in second place. 
That was a very interesting blog by the way haha.
Give me an F! LOL. I just went to that site and voted for you.
Good luck!
@Kaitlin: “F!” But you get an A for effort! Vote tomorrow please!
@Deanna: Thanks! Damn, I’m still trailing this “gwapasila” chick.
@Danna: Thanks! Whenever you can, yes. And ligers are magical.
@Fendi: Thanks! Vote every day. Link exchange? Yes, sure.
@Em: Yes, kindergarten kids look good in purple and yellow too. You’d kill for me? Your first hit - Jude, the guy stalking my blog.
@Evilgenius: OMG, you still remember that? But come on, it was a good one! It’s so RW Inc., isn’t it? Haha! “All your chocolates are belong to us.” Well, if you’re good to the Easter Bunny…
@Jude: Yes, very good imitation. Really, you’d kill for me? Alright, go commit Seppuku.
Ritual Japanese suicide. Cry? Cry?! 
Hehehe congrats and I will surely vote for you!
I’M VOTING FOR YOU, NO WORRIES!! You always win so many contests, which is awesome! I wanna know your winning secrets, haha.
Okay, I voted for you, but only because I think you’re partly made of awesome and insanity. XD Do I get a box of candy or perhaps a purty strawberry for my effort? *lmao*
Voted for ya!
Good luck! 
But of course! *scurries off*
*returns*
Now where’s my prize?
Hehe!
Got 4 computers in my workplace, 1 at home… hmmm… I didn’t win last week though. I’ll vote for you if you’ll vote for me! Hehehe…
I bet a Kali costume would give you the attention you need to make people log on to several computers thinking only about you and go vote! I need a picture of the result first though!
Good luck on winning!
I voted! And you better win, darnit!
Good luck
Wow, well I hope you win. I’ll surely vote for you. The best of luck with this.
I voted even before I could finish reading this post! Just returned, read and left a comment here.
Manalo na!
Hi there! I have voted for you… Do I deserve sweet kisses & chocolates too?
Happy blogging!
I have been away on site for over two weeks now and I do not have internet access. To think, it’s a Telecom company.
Anyway, I have voted for you twice today. Will vote again tomorrow. Hope you win.
The first thing that I did after reading your post is to vote for yah.
I hope you grab that shiny award. 
I wonder why Hindu gods have four arms? Ok, maybe not all but most of them have 4 arms! Ohhh… so weird. And why does Kali order her devotees to kill? I simply can’t get that and it’s creeping me out!

I’m voting and good luck with winning!
That goddess would make a nifty costume but gosh, look at the blue paint you’ll need.

Kali’s illustration scares me to death. Hehe, death. Get it!? GET IT!?
VOTED!
Voted.
Voted! Thanks for the add.
Wow. Good luck, haha.
I was there for only two weeks.
Congrats! Hope you get the top spot this time!
Just finished voting for you. Don’t worry, I didn’t cheat. Hehe… Hope you win it.
Um, I’m confused. The entry you linked to takes me to a 2006 post and you’re not listed there. =/ I wanted to vote too!
I remember studying about the Goddess Kali back in high school many years ago. She is also referred to as the Goddess of Chaos as well right?
