2007 UP Fair and I hope no one dies this time around
The UP Fair has been a circus of sorts where the air smells of sweet sweet smoke (dope heads!), good music (though what's the point of bringing in pogi bands?) and human roadkill. There are far too many ways of getting killed in the UP Fair grounds. For one, you could...
2007 UP Fair sked and stuff
And the Sunken Garden air will smell sweet and chocolate-y. Intoxicating. Why? 'Cause it's the UP Fair yet again. Booths. Bands. Babes. Anyway, I don't know the complete schedules for each night (or the sponsors for each night). And since I'm playing the role of the...
Help! I need a laptop!
This sedentary life is killing me. I want to go out and work at Starbucks or some place. And for that to happen, I need a laptop. I'll be just using it for typing, browsing, blogging, and a bit of photo manips here and there. I just want something with 512 MB of RAM...
Torrent and YouTube freaks are to blame if the Net goes down
That's right! So better lay off downloading the latest episodes of Smallville, CSI, and Grey's Anatomy. If we all wake up with the Internet down on its knees, we all know who to blame. Get this, 60% of uploaded data from computers is P2P traffic swapping video data...
UP Diliman Main Library offer access to more electronic resources

Maybe I’m wrong about Dwyane Wade
Holy cow! Yet another Dwyane Wade post. Hell yeah! I'm a Heat fan, remember? I've unmercifully bashed last season's Finals MVP together with a bunch of the new guys in an attempt to find out who will give Mike a run for his money as the Greatest Basketball Player of...
Beckham should be bent
I've avoided posting about David Beckham (ever since ever, and ever since I got the message from a fellow football afficionado). For one, I've never been a fan of Beckham. When everyone was raving his left foot, I was cheering for Roberto Carlos. Everyone cheered for...
Things to ask a seller of a second-hand guitar
Authors Note:This is the second part on my How to buy a second-hand guitar series of articles. As the second installation of my second-hand guitar buying guide series, I'll be writing about what things to ask a seller about his/her second-hand guitar that's on...
Surviving a speaking marathon
So I spoke for St. Matthew's College in Cainta, Rizal yesterday. My topic is built for the geek stuff - Learning Resources for the Internet Generation. "And boy, it was a blast. There were four different sessions for the different levels in high school. So I was...
