So last week, Mae and I were surfing the net using our respective SUN Broadband Wireless dongles on our MBPs and I got a bit annoyed cos I was only getting a GPRS signal (green light indicator) while she was enjoying her breezy HSDPA signal (cyan light indicator).

I notice that every year birthdays become less and less special. However, this really isn’t something to be sad about, it’s just part of growing up. My 25th birthday the other day (January 29th) was nothing out of the ordinary. I practically spent the whole day in the office! So, what I did was I got [...]
The past couple of weeks are just unbelievably crazy for me. Sales are slow at my full-time job which is why I had to work doubly hard to reach our quota — but to no avail, really. We had to resort to making major changes in our websites, especially by bringing down the prices of [...]

Part of my daily routine at the office is browsing through Yahoo! Answers to find people who have questions about hotels in the Philippines. I asked my team to do the same and now two of our team members are hooked on Answers! Hahaha! Yesterday Raymond, our copywriter, stumbled upon this Question that goes “Could [...]
Allow me to show off my current “rig” (as the computer geeks enthusiasts call it) because after a few hours, I’m going to have to say goodbye to this baby. Deej generously lent me “Sam” while he’s out of town with his friends. I told him a few times that I wouldn’t mind if they [...]
Hey, check it out. We can now talk on our Google Personalized Homepage. Since I and some people I know don’t have administrative rights to install stuff on our workstation PCs in the office (hence could not install messengers and other stuff without asking permission from the IT Department — which usually turns into a [...]
