So as a follow up to my Vertical Horizon post I bring forthwith images to serve as proof that gaddammet we were there!!! (and just barely) Friday 12/7 will be etched in my mind as one of the most eventful days ever. After a harrowing experience with the most assholest person I’ve ever known, I… Continue reading The Cheap Seats Is Where It’s At

Sorry no smart title for this one
At the moment I can’t help but want more than anything else to wring someone’s neck. A situation happened with a client late this morning and it has led an influential person there to come to the conclusion that I am trying to squeeze him for money. It basically involves asking me to do a… Continue reading Sorry no smart title for this one
You’re A God And I Am Not And I Just Thought That You Would Know
Yes those are lyrics, but before all that: “Yes. Thank you very much for the excellent service. Looking forward to more transactions with you.” – Ms. J. M. Rodrigo of ADMU – and that my friends, is a quote (with permission) just received from a buyer from the Kikay Shop, after a routine check if… Continue reading You’re A God And I Am Not And I Just Thought That You Would Know
Fairly eventful day if not marked somewhat by physical inactivity
I wanted to work out this morning but hey, what I like about working out is that its easy to make excuses, right? So my excuse is I slept late and therefore woke up late and hence my life albeit unhealthy is, however, explained properly, for what that’s worth. But first, CONGRATULATIONS MAUI. To anyone… Continue reading Fairly eventful day if not marked somewhat by physical inactivity
OpenSocial and the Freaky Future
Google’s video re Opensocial is a freaking 57 minutes long so I didn’t get to watch all of it (my downloads are hogging the bandwidth), but it’s purpose is fairly clear. The Social networking phenomenon needs a way to hook them all up together and Google is answering the call. The html+javascript implementation is a… Continue reading OpenSocial and the Freaky Future
The Perfect Writing Machine
This post is about my eternal search for a laptop as a writing machine, as opposed to a coding machine, gaming machine or whatever – else machine. First, the best so far. To date, nothing I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a lot, beats the experience of the 6 (?) year old PowerBook G4. Inasmuch as… Continue reading The Perfect Writing Machine
Fools Rush In Book Review
I really enjoyed reading Fools Rush In, Nina Munk‘s research on the gargantuan AOL – Time Warner fiasco of the late 90’s and early 2000s. There is no better way, I think for a person to understand the Internet Bubble and dot com disaster of that era than reading a book that puts you right… Continue reading Fools Rush In Book Review
Two Issues For Today’s Post
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
aaand we’re back! (again)
Finally found a good enough host for this blog, and Movie Exchange as well, which we are now re-christening as (drumroll please…): flickmaniac.com awww yeah. I admit there was a point when I was wondering if I was even gonna resurrect either blog, but I decided, what the heck. The cost isn’t too steep and… Continue reading aaand we’re back! (again)
