  • RIP Arthur C. Clarke

    I can’t believe Arthur C. Clarke is dead. He is one of the most influential writers I’ve ever read, whose books have become part of my life. His book Rendezvous with Rama was probably the first that forced me to think outside of what my eyes see. Space Odyssey 2001 brought me to far away…

  • I love Laszlo. But..

    Ok fine. I’m starting to feel he’s a little underpowered. Hahaha. I know you’re laughing, Blen. But I can’t help it. Kapos e. Blame it on the fact I used to have a nice kick ass (ok, semi kick ass) Pentax SLR when I was a teen, and I took Mandy Navasero classes one bored…

  • Finally Met Yuga

    I’m very glad to have made Abe Olandre‘s acquaintance last Friday, finally, at a Nokia event. We were amongst the group who came very early, so I went up to him and explained who I was, and he was very accomodating. He said he had heard of my sites from his kumpare Alwell whose managed…

  • Pacquiao Fearless Forecast plus Other Thoughts

    I’ve been scouring the Internet for the past hour trying to find a streaming live video, audio or otherwise any whatever sort of livecast to no avail. I’ve found a few but they aren’t free, and their amateurish looking sites don’t look very reassuring, so no go. Jill’s household usually buys into whatever Sky offers…

  • Learn To Read

    One of the nice things I like about big Press gigs is you occasionally get the chance to talk to other writers, many of whom have been in the business for decades. Yesterday I was seated beside friends from Manila Tribune, a sorta celeb guy from Studio 23 and interestingly enough, editors from 34 year…

  • I’m Coaching the 14-17 yr old boys Basketball Inter Village again

    We’ll be known as the Clippers for some odd reason, and first practice is 7am Sat. I’m super excited primarily because it’s the same boys I’m coaching save for a few who’ve gotten older since last year, and secondarily because, secretly, I really wanna get back at the Blue team which beat us by a…

  • Added Myself to Skype’s Premium Services

    Let’s see if anyone will bite..

  • If You Ain’t Got No Money Take Your Broke Ass Home

    Which is why I’m home. Ha ha.

  • Yay.

    Today is a milestone day for the Exchanges, which I’ll extend to my person, if it doesn’t mind, as well. I just had a meeting that I’d never thought would’ve happened if I didn’t have my notes and their calling cards on my left breast pocket as proof. A meeting with the kind of people…

  • Where’s My Money, PayPal?

    Just wanted to add to the discussions around the local ‘net. Upon receiving news of the ability to withdraw from PayPal to a local account, I tried making a withdrawal of $50.00 to my Philippine bank account on Feb. 12, and I’ve yet to receive it. It’s already Feb. 27. There are two methods for…
