Falling to the dark side that is the Nintendo DS Lite
The problem with people with repressed childhoods (like me) is that we tend to overcompensate when we finally gain some independence and get some spare change from our wee salaries. I guess it runs in the family too. I remember my dad buying me an airsoft pistol only...
Noob.Killer update
I really appreciate Leerz's work on the Noob.Killer tool (which has evolved from simply getting rid of the Taga Lipa Are virus to covering threats such as Baguio Strawberry). And I also appreciate him using my site for updates and announcements even if my site isn't...
Benchmarking the graduate

PayPal restored my account
After two sleepless nights of thinking whether my hard-earned money will end up with PayPal, I finally got my answer. They restored my account's functionality. $715 is worth 3 months' salary in UP, poor us minimum wage teachers. Now I can try to sleep, finally....
