Visiting Mom and Dad

2009-07-19T14:22:37Z

Went to see mom and dad, with kids in tow, and had a thin crust Shakey's Special, along with slices of mojos (with garlic dip) and... a plate of siopao. I know, I know... it is a bit incongruous, but that's how some Pinoy meryendas look like at ti...

2008-06-24T00:17:00Z

We are still in shock over the news about Typhoon Frank and how many lives were lost here in the Philippines. The television brings news and images of people hoping that their relatives who were riding that ferry are still alive. It is quite depre...

AdSense Resurrected Zombie

2008-01-21T21:39:47Z

Did AdSense die? Apparently so. You've probably heard of "The Death of ASense" and even "AdSense Resurrected." Well, someone did try to resurrect AdSense, but it's starting to look and smell like a zombie. There were promises made, and dreams en...

There are some topics that simply won't die online. One of those is the case of Malu Fernandez, whose writings have angered quite a few people. Some rejoiced when she resigned. But now she's back. Annalyn says that It's Official: Divatricious Re...

Vox and the Slow Internet

2007-08-21T14:40:40Z

There's a major slowdown in the Philippines today, and I'm checking how Vox handles this situation. So far, the speed is all right. I wonder, though, how long this will take. Do you remember the Taiwan earthquake earlier this year? And how our in...

Tagaytay Ghosts?

2007-07-11T01:39:13Z

There's something about bathrooms located in places people don't usually frequent. The air is still, the fog creeps noiselessly, and moss grows undisturbed on sloping walls. It is so quiet, the only sound you hear is the buzzing of the insects,...
