Chasing Daydreams

Just came back from a spur of the moment, sort of, trip to Putipot, a small scenic island off Zambales. Bing and I had been planning a trip to Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte but that plan was shelved when we couldn’t achieve critical mass.
The alternate plan was to go to Putipot but at the critical [...]

Finally! Shakey’s Pizza has made available pizza delivery via credit card. Val had told me about it a week or so ago and tonight I decided to try it. I ordered pizza and told them I want to pay via credit card. After a while, the rider came in, delivered the pizza, and swiped my [...]

This morning, there was this woman in front of me while waiting for the lift. I couldn’t help but notice the diamond on her ring. It reminded me of my long overdue review of Blood Diamond.
At first, I didn’t want to watch this movie. I have developed this allergy to anything starring Leonardo DiCaprio since [...]

Graduation Day! Sure technically it was over with the last exam. But the ceremonial graduation day makes it formal and official. Finally, after three long years of hard work and fun, of frustration and joy, it really is over. I gained a lot of knowledge during those three years. But more than what I learned [...]

Went to Divers Sanctuary yesterday with Erwin to attend an underwater wedding, two in fact, organized by diver friends at Scuba1. It’s not really something recognized by either the church or the government. It is just a memorable occasion for soon-to-be wed couples who love scuba diving.
It was my first time to witness an [...]

Just found out that Pathfinder is still about to show in the US. I fear this is too late but I must warn you: Don’t watch it! You’re just going to regret it. In a moment of poor judgement, I watched it and did. My impression was it’s trying to be so many things all [...]

It looks like E10 is not as green as it should be. Because in the US and Mexico ethanol is derived from corn which is a food staple for both livestock and people, it has caused higher demand for corn which in turn has led to a drastic increase in the prices of corn and [...]

My brother and I took my sister and her family to the Avilon Zoo yesterday.
Getting there is a small adventure in itself. From Commonwealth Ave., turn right towards Batasan Complex. At the Batasan Complex, turn right to the Batasan-San Mateo Road. At the end of the road, turn left to the Marikina-San Mateo Road. Keep [...]

While at the laundry, I took notice of some roadwork that was blocking the storefront. It’s because it is election time, the staff commented. I’ve never given it much thought before but I realized the truth to what she said. But why do politicians fix roads often when elections are close? Conventional wisdom say [...]

After much deliberation, I finally made my decision and got the Pentax K100D. There are two major reasons why I chose it over the Nikon D40.
The first reason is the feature set: it has just too many higher-end DSLR features to pass up. In fact, you could mistake it for a higher-end camera if not [...]
