back to (predicting) the future
Ahhh yes. December is the time for Christmas. For gift-giving. For singing carols. For gathering friends, family and loved ones.
And for me to write the most hated, feared and usually botched up stupid excuse of a writing exercise waste – of – valuable – space, time, money and effort article of the year – the “Fearless Forecast” – where I sum up what I, in my most wildest, weirdest and wackiest attempt, try to figure out what’s gonna happen next year in modern technology.

of failed backups and stressed sassy lawyers
According to the movie Pushing Tin airline traffic controllers have some of the most stressful jobs there is. While I fully agree the idea of controlling the fate of hundreds of lives can weigh quite heavily on anyone, I’m sure a sys admin’s work (in varying degrees), can rank amongst those as well.

Jingle Bells lang ang pahinga
The title is inspired by a jeep I occasionally see plying the Ortigas Antipolo route, with a sign at the back that says “Jingle Lang Ang Pahinga”, I’ve obviously changed somewhat to reflect a Holiday theme.
However, the underlying message is the same. This past week every waking hour had been accounted for, either working on one client or another, or writing one article after another, that even as I review my little scheduler on how I spent those days, it still all feels like a daze.
I’m Relieved At Returning The Goodies In One Piece
Today I return the goodies lent me, namely, the Motorola e680i and it’s sidekick, the Bluetooth headphones HT820, the Panasonic EB-VS3, the fabulous Motorola ROKR E1.
The subsequent write ups (can’t really call them reviews in the strictest sense as I wrote with a ‘lifestyle’ bent), are here for the ROKR E1, and here for the e680i and the ht820.

Abante apologizes to Jill
Followers of my girlfriend Jill’s blog would be familiar with her recent Abante episode, where she was plagiarized, plain and simple, via a unauthorized reposting of her post about an ongoing scam at NAIA.

In the case mentioned above, a bullet was placed inside a 75 year old lady’s bag for which she had to spend a night in one of Pasay City’s no doubt pleasant and well-appointed jail cells.
2nd mph blog update! (in less than a week)
Yep that comely lass (with no name though, first time the cover didn’t mention a name), represents m|ph.com’s Ms. December, I mean, the cover for the month, quite comfortable dressed, imho, in appropriate attire (another first) for our nippy December weather.
Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Olivers Review
This is rather late as it’s been four days since I watched the movie at Gateway Cubao, but suffice to say I’ve been writing this post in my head ever since and I’m fairly itching to get it all out, so here it is, albeit I may have lost some of my thoughts since then.
At any rate here they are bulletpoint style. WARNING: If you haven’t seen the movie, there are spoilers!
pam’s appeal for the children of payatas
I’m posting here a letter from my shimmering editor, Pam Pastor, Chief of Correspondents for 2bu!, Inquirer’s Lifestyle Section.
The first thing I really thought of was to ask her to make doubly sure it was really from who it came from, however she’s apparently already done her homework and they’re visiting the Payatas Soup Kitchens on December 21. Here it is in full:
