 Devine Combien Je T’Aime

J’ai lu Devine Combien Je T’Aime. C’est un livre pour les enfants mais il est une grand réalisation pour moi! Il est au sujet du un grande lièvre, son fils, et combien ils s’aiment. C’est tres sympa.



 2008 March 19 to 22 Pagudpud Road Trip

Just got back from Pagudpud aka The Boracay of the North. It’s an unfair comparison, really. Sure both have white sands, both have great water, and both are overrated beach destinations. But Pagudpud is much less congested. That alone makes it way better in my book.
It’s a trip that Bing and I have been planning [...]



 Making Money From Airsoft

Crissy told me about the PNP now requiring the registration of airsoft rifles and pistols at a cost similar to that of real firearms. So now if you don’t register you can suddenly become a criminal for possession of a toy! Funny since, airguns below .22 caliber don’t even need to be registered. And to [...]



 Cloud 9 vs Choco Mucho

Last friday, even before the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight, I was witness to a fight between two… chocolate bars. Aby mentioned that Choco Mucho is her version of the power bar. I’ve always had Cloud 9 as my version of the power bar. Always in pursuit of the truth… and something to munch on, I [...]



 Pacquiao vs Marquez

Today, Manny Pacquiao fights Juan Manuel Marquez. It will be a national event… again. The whole country will come almost to a standstill as everyone watches the bout. No playing badminton. Less traffic. Less crime.
Before, I thought people were kidding when it was said that it will be a zero-crime day. But apparently the police [...]



 Tech Support Blues

Jem made a posting that somehow reminded me of tech support, the most frustrating part of what I do (okay, maybe next to having to dealing with irrational people… or rather person). Users can sometimes be so passive. Sometimes all they had to do is stop and think just a little bit before calling and [...]



 Sony Cycle Energy = Sanyo Eneloop

A few months ago, Drawde mentioned to me how Sanyo Eneloop batteries are the best rechargeable batteries. They are a (back then) new type of batteries that are low self-discharge. This allows for the batteries to be charged at manufacture, packaged, and ready for use off the shelf. Of course this also means that in [...]



 More Irritable Today Than Yesterday

I was pretty irritable today. I wasn’t cross to anyone, unlike yesterday while I was talking to Globe. But somehow I feel I was much more so today than yesterday. Maybe I woke up too early (had to leave early). Maybe it was the heat (two days without a functional air conditioning can do that). [...]



 Ooops! Apple Did It Again

I for one was eagerly waiting for the release of the SDK for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. I generally don’t like Apple products. I find them to too cutesy and dainty. I prefer my gadgets to be practical, tough, waterproof, and just works. But I am aware of the potential of the two [...]



 Bb. Pilipinas

This morning, somebody sent me a link to a vid of the Bb. Pilipinas winner doing the Q&A portion of the contest. I don’t know what’s the point of sending it to me but all I can say is give it a rest. If she’s judged to be the winner, then she’s the winner. Yeah, [...]
