One : Do not buy a Motorola C651 cellfone. It is a constantly hanging piece of crap. Two : With a budget of only P1k, I am looking for another cellphone that will serve as a ‘2nd phone’, mainly for g-cash purposes. If you live in Manila and you have one in good working condition… Continue reading Two Issues For Today’s Post

Lust, Caution Movie Review
From the moment that I first saw the movie’s preview I had determined that I wasn’t going to miss it, and when I finally watched it it just went ahead and exceeded all expectations. Lust, Caution (Se, Jie) is an amazing piece of story – telling – an intricate, tightly wound tale between lovers whose… Continue reading Lust, Caution Movie Review

Oh Lord, won’t you give me $30,000.00?*
I just read this article talking about an internet startup involving a girl and her boyfriend in New York. Of course, the word ‘internet startup’ interests me, but when I read it involved just two people, a girl and her boyfriend living and working out of an apartment in New York on a shoestring budget,… Continue reading Oh Lord, won’t you give me $30,000.00?*

You gotta love Manong Masahista
I played a lot of ball most of the afternoon. As a result I’m completely bushed and aching all over, but overall I feel great. I outlasted a lot of guys mostly because, I think, I managed to get a good massage a few days ago. At this point you might think I’m about to… Continue reading You gotta love Manong Masahista
Tropa de Elite and other planned reviews
I just watched the highly controversial Tropa de Elite, which I was desperate to see after seeing just a few seconds of a report about it from BBC news and consequently Googling it up. The movie runs a narrative using the voice of Capitao Nascimiento (played by the amazing Wagner Moura), a fictional leader of… Continue reading Tropa de Elite and other planned reviews
How our brains work according to me
I worked on the car all day and thoroughly enjoyed it. If not for the fact that it didn’t turn out as well as I hoped (I fixed something but in the process, ‘broke’ something else :P), today was a pretty good day. I think hobbies are important because it takes you away from what… Continue reading How our brains work according to me
About Drupal, The most annoying thing about moving blogs, and another project idea
The most annoying thing about moving blogs is that I’d have to do all my links, all the stuff in my about page, the categories and all that other stuff all over again. It’s taken me a long time to decide which free blogging place to use and although wordpress.com has its limitations, it’s certainly… Continue reading About Drupal, The most annoying thing about moving blogs, and another project idea
