Is there a better payment service for Pinoy Web workers?
A lot of my friends are doing rakets here and there to augment almost barely-scraping-by salaries by consulting for clients abroad. Receiving payments has been one heck of a problem with the lack of a reliable payment service. Western Union has always been the most...
Not my scene anymore
I went to the ToyCon last Saturday and had an epiphany - it was not my scene anymore. That meant a lot given that I was co-conspirator of the UP Anime Manga Enthusiasts anime fair and yes, I was president of that org too. I mean, I still maintain an interest for some...
The prices of gas (and a crappy car) and weekend dates
I just can believe how expensive everything is nowadays. I was cleaning my desk a couple of days ago and stumbled upon an old Shell receipt with the price per liter of their then flagship fuel Velocity was Php 16 per liter. Php 16!!! Those were the times when me and...
Test shots with my S5 IS

Just shoot me
After a week of GAS-ing, I gave in to my wanton desires and got me a digital camera. Call me crazy but I did spend a lot of sleepless nights thinking of whether I buy myself a camera and if I decided to, what type would I get. I decided that a camera's a good...
Finally got my laptop fixed
Finally, after three months, my laptop is fixed and fully functional. It was around February when I noticed that my laptop's hinges were shot. The ASUS service center was happy to assist me then but I had to wait for parts. So they just got my details and ordered the...
When your guitar gets a gig before you do
This is one of those WTF moments. You start browsing people's Friendster profiles out of sheer boredom (and to satisfy scopophilic tendencies) and lo and behold you see... your guitar in a gig under the spotlights. Just like this one: No doubt about it, it's my...
