Well, it’s 2009. Three more days and the two-week holiday vacation will be officially over. I’m already dreading all the tasks that await me at the office. [insert sad face here] Pardon me for sounding like a pessimist, but lately I think I’ve become one. The past three weeks for me have been kinda hard. [...]
It’s a Wednesday night and I’m sitting here inside Seattle’s Best Coffee in Bonifacio High Street hoping I could do some work tonight (and maybe write a blog entry which, thankfully, I am doing now) because the intermittent Internet connection at home is being a pain again. I’m not gonna explain why I haven’t blogged [...]
I spent the whole day today with my family. In the photo above are my parents, my brothers Jec and Jem, Sharon, Che-che, Deej, and me. This kind of gathering doesn’t happen everyday so I thought of preserving it using my camera and posting the photos here (plus, I really really want to update this [...]
I know that the most-hated people in the Philippines right now are our corrupt government officials, but to an ordinary citizen like me, nothing pushes my buttons harder than the annoying cab drivers here in Metro Manila!

From the time I wake up in the morning at 7:00 am until I leave the house at 8:00 am, I always have this intense reflective moment in between wherein I think about how different things would be if I’m just working at home. Think of the money I’ll be saving on gas, food, laundry [...]
You wanna hear something terrible AND funny? Brace yourself because you’re gonna find me very stoopid in this story. My flight was supposed to be this afternoon at 4:35. At 3:00PM, Deej and I rode a cab to the airport, hoping that I could make it to the check-in time. But because fate made the [...]
I’ve been indifferent to politics for as long as I can remember. I don’t know why exactly, but there’s something about it that don’t interest me much. Add to that the fact that I find it hard to understand how all those political stuff go about (and that I myself refuse to understand them thoroughly), [...]
If you’re someone close to me, you probably hear me say this particular sentence several times a year. I don’t know why but whenever I realize the happenings in my life are, once again, becoming ONE BIG DULL ROUTINE, I just find myself suddenly letting out a long forlorn sigh and muttering the words, “There [...]
What a worse way to start the week! I have a running nose, a throbbing head, and a fuzzy eyesight. I used to think that I’m not the kind that gets sick after I get myself wet from walking in the rain, but last Saturday night proved me wrong. While I was on my way [...]
…be the cause of my lack of productivity tonight? Earlier today I downloaded a bunch of stuff, saved them on my flash drive and planned to use them on some projects when I get home. Now I’m home, I’ve rummaged through my bag three times, but found no flash drive. I had to leave the [...]
