What I Learned From My Talk
The talk went well. I thought there were only a few attendees at the start but 5 minutes into my talk it was SRO. I learned a few things about myself plus a few observations. Lemme break it down so I won’t forget. Detailed pics of the sites won’t show up well on a not…

Tentative Outline for My Talk on Wednesday (rescheded for the 22nd)
may 21 – I was rather quickly bumped off for some celebrity who they decided was more important than me. I suppose I should’ve quit at that point but heck, sure let’s get on with it. I was rescheduled for tomorrow instead, 4-5PM. So if you went, so sorry. I’m just as surprised as you…

Goodbye Sleep
First it’s the Playoffs, leading to the Finals. Then in a few days from now *gasp* ROLAND GARROS. Federer is gonna try again and Nadal will have something to say about that. But the big story is Henin’s early retirement, which kinda pulls the rug out of Sharapova’s bid. A pity since she’s looking stronger…

Carlos Celdran Is One Of My Idols
I’ve never met him, I’m one of those losers who say ‘oh let’s join one of his tours!‘, and doesn’t do anything about it, and I’m occasionally shocked at the things he does. But to those who want to make a change in this world, you can’t go wrong in finding inspiration at the ostentatious,…

On Getting Press and What To Do With It
At this very moment, my picture has come out on several newspapers in an advertorial by Lipton for their Milk Tea, featuring an event I attended a few weeks ago. Hence I’ve been called and texted by friends re this phenomenon. This bothers me obviously, because now my extreme handsomeness and rugged muscularity is all…

Our Interview No Show
If it weren’t for Dong and My Dearest Cuz’s wonderful wedding yesterday (I was Best Man), I’d not have easily forgotten my disappointment about our TV no – show interview on Wednesday night. Well, here’s what happened. About 3 weeks ago Jill and I were interviewed by QTV‘s Fit and Fab, a beauty – wellness…

My First Speaking Engagement *Changed Sked
Today I received below email. I actually said no the first time I was asked, being allergic to making presentations (I’ve had enough of that in previous jobs!). But I guess I’m too much of a sucker for a good compliment: We’re hoping that you could do a 30-minute to an hour talk about blogging…

Of Lousy Domain Registrars and Good Workouts
The million fans of this blog (less 999,997) may have wondered where it went when this domain lapsed a few days ago. Credit (or debit?) my brilliant domain registrar for this oversight, as he failed to contact me beforehand – whereas SOP for registrars would be to contact you 3 months before. Not only that,…

I Accidentally Deleted BallEx Today
But got it up from a day old sql backup. I posted this morning but I managed to retrieve that as well by being subscribed to my own RSS feed, so it was ‘backed up’ more or less. Can I just say, WHEEEEWWWWWWW! What I was working on needed a new db installed and I…

Got Super Sick But Now I’m Ok Again
I decided to wash my bedsheets a few days ago, substituting an old ratty one for the night. BIG mistake. My allergies flared up which quickly worsened into whatever horrible sinus related ailment and before I knew it, everything ached, I couldn’t even walk and essentially I became a vegetable. And due to the fact…
