Chasing Daydreams

A few days ago, I downloaded and watched the Starcraft 2 gameplay videos for the Protoss and Terran races. The Protoss video was cool. They have a lot of new tricks up their sleeves: mobile energy sources, zealots who rush to combat, huge mechanized units and an overly powerful unit called the mothership. But it [...]

Billie sent me this link about a big pink bunny. It’s not exactly what I expected. I thought it would be big but not this BIG. But my first reaction really was: OMG! They killed the big pink bunny! It’s odd position on the ground and the grotesque expression on its face just screams out [...]

It’s the end of the week and I feel so drained and exhausted. It’s a long tiring week and it is showing. I’m being cranky and irritable. Is this a sign of being burned out? I’ve been working with the company for most three years. Long by my standards. Also, it’s been a hectic year [...]

Val learned about this new restaurant along Morato called Nasilemak. So she, Rose, and I decided to meet up there. I found the place quite easily. It is in front of the McDonald’s at the intersection of Morato and Roces and beside an Office Warehouse branch (Let me practice my French: Il est devant McDonald’s [...]

I awake. Early in the morning. Again. On a Sunday morning. Two things on my mind: Hibernate and OPI3. Work-related issues… puzzles… and they’ve followed me home. Argh! My mind just can’t let go and I just have to research more. But at least I think I’ve found some answers. Good thing the code is [...]

Jem and I went to observe and shoot a capoeira batizado this afternoon. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that has a distinct dance feel because way back during its inception, martial arts was prohibited and as such was disguised as a dance. The Batizado is a capoeira event where practitioners are “baptized” into the [...]

Finally! After over a month (or is it two?) of suffering through an almost non-existent Internet connection at home, ZPDee was finally able to fix the darn thing. And it took, what? Countless requests for service, three visits to check the cable modem, and who knows how many visits to fix the cable outside. That [...]

Yesterday, I was driving back along with some officemates to the office from lunch when the engine suddenly died. Luckily, there was a nearby Rapide branch and I was able to coast to just outside their doorstep. They did some diagnostic tests and were able to immediately isolate and fix the problem to the spark [...]

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade has got to be the better animes, nay, movies I’ve seen. The movie is set in an alternate post-war, post-occupation Japan where the occupiers were the Germans instead of Americans. The German influence can be seen in the vehicles, weapons, and armor of the character. It is the story of a [...]

This weekend was one long weekend. I don’t mean one of those “economic holidays” that the administration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo like to declare. No, this one is long for another reason.
The company has been running out of disk storage and it’s about time for a major upgrade. The old capacity was 1.4TB of RAID 5 [...]
