I had to renew my Drivers’ License yesterday. It will be expiring this weekend *hint hint*. Good thing my dad brought me to LTO Aguinaldo/Cubao where there are significantly less people, cars and fixers. I abhor bureaucracy and its inefficiency and a crowded office makes it worse. I passed time waiting for my turnS (with an S because you have to wait for your turn several times as you have to go

Last Saturday, June 7, Among Ed launched his blog at the Executive House in San Fernando Pampanga. Luckily, I was invited by Mong of Blogger's Kapihan to the launch with about 20 other delegates from Manila. When we arrived there, it was obviously an event directed towards the youth. Almost all of the guests are all under the age of 30, most probably under 25. Aside from Among Ed and the emcees,

Grr... it's been a long time since I put up a decent post. After the wedding, I had to catch up with my subjects.Then, this NBN-ZTE thing with Jun Lozada... hay! To make the long story short, my organization joined Youth ACT Now (Youth for Accountability and Truth Now) and all its members have been busy with press conferences, forums, meetings and other activities for the past 2 weeks.

These are some pictures from the Gun Show held at the Megatrade Hall last November 19-26. My uncle convinced me to check it out. I went there on the 25th and for 60 pesos as entrance fee, I got to touch and pose with all these guns. I saw some really weird modifications there such as a baby 12 GA with a plastic butt and a baby AK 47. Makes me wonder how stable will those things shoot especially

These are my first attempts of using my brothers SLR. Expect ugly pictures. But I'm reading about photography and yes, I'm practicing my composition. I actually shelled out 2 rolls of 36 shots in Pangasinan last weekend. I'll show some of those in another post.

I just want to post this because I'm quite proud of this paper when the rest of my classmates discussed about the romance in the novel. I had to retype this because I only have the original hard copy which I submitted to my professor. This post is slightly altered from the original paper to include my teacher's comments and corrections. Unfortunately, I forgot her name but Ma'am MZM(S?or L?)

A lawyer has been gaining a lot media mileage in the past 2 weeks. Roel Pulido has filed a case against JDV and his son. Then he filed a weak and questionable impeachment complaint at the Lower House against Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. He seems like a loose cannon with his statements and actions. A resounding question is upon us: What happened to Roel Pulido?The ActivistRoberto Rafael "Roel' Pulido,

Cold Turkey- A smoking cessation strategy that involves abrupt cessation of smoking. Used alone, only 5% to 7% of smokers will remain abstinent long-term.www.ctri.wisc.edu/Home/Glossary.htmlThe shock of my life came when I saw the notices posted at Vinzons Hall banning smoking in UP.

New color theme and new lay out... inspired by Jhann's Mickey Mouse slippers from Banana peel. I love brown at the moment (which I hope will be the same color theme for my wedding. Asus!

I use Mozilla and Internet Explorer and they both look pretty decent to me. Email me:

I came across an ad on the internet last week about a FREE tutorial of Final Cut Pro at the PowerMac Center in Greenbelt3. My first thought,of course was to tell Jhann about it since he's been bugging me to study FCP for the longest time. To say that he was excited is an understatement. He made absolutely sure that his schedule is free on that date. He even emailed the PowerMac Center to make

If ever I'll be internationally famous enough to be a guest on the longest running sitcom, the Simpsons, this is what I'll look like according to Simpsonizeme.comI must admit I'm not one of those stand out Simsponizable people. Jhann on the other hand yielded better results than mine. I must say his Simpson self is dead on. Appearing with him on the picture is his favorite dog Reb who uncannily

Wowowee is the center of publicity (particularly on YouTube) yet again due to an incident on a segment of their show. The show is being accused of manipulating the outcome of the prizes. If in fact he is holding the 2M film then there would be no chance in hell that the contestant will be able to win the 2M. Or another assumption is that if he feels like it, he can just stick the 2M film on the

I spent a day with Korean students Last July as an interpreter for their exposure trip at Smokey Mountain. People would think that it’s an easy task but believe you me, it’s rather challenging. My charges are of high school age and know very basic English. I in turn have to break down my sentences and thoughts into short sentences or phrases to get through to them. How many times can you use

One of my lifetime dreams just came true 2 days ago. We got a new dog... a black labrador puppy! (And yes, he has authentic papers.) I'm was so happy when we got him I cried like a baby. He's the most adorable, big pawed, black bundle of joy.World, meet Bebong!He's really smart too. He learned to go potty in the right place in 1 day (a few minor accidents but I don't mind).

We went to celebrate my parents 25th wedding anniversary at the Seafood Wharf near Luneta Park. Pardon if there are no pictures of food. Before I could take out my camera, the food was being passed around and eaten like mad. You see, we are shellfish deprived people. There were 4 of us: my parents then Jhann and I. We ordered 5 dishes 4 of which are shellfish. I've been craving for shrimps and

Jhann and I dined out last Sunday, March 04, 2007 as my mother was kind enough to sponsor our date with 500 bucks. (She's feeling guilty because the elders are going to eat at Saisaki). I was craving for Sisig Hooray at Katipunan or Tomato Kick at Teachers' Village but they were both closed so we ended up going to Eastwood.We ate at that Italian fastfood Fazoli's.
