  • Those That Congratulate You Are Your True Friends

    Went for a fantastic walk today from the house to Paseo, the shopping center. Only went halfway back though because I had to shop at Rustan’s for rice. I bought into the brown rice healthy shtick only to be told be Jill that it tastes like cardboard, so I’m feeling like a shmuck right now.…

  • Adobo, Commuting, and Expensive Gym Rates

    I played my first game yesterday, and I ached a little bit that night but overall felt great. It was just a simple 2 on 2 with some village kids but I huffed and puffed and did fairly well, I think each team won a game. Today I had to take a meeting with someone…

  • 2010 Day 1: Not Much To Report

    I would’ve uploaded a few pics if I could find the USB cable. Anyway that reminds me that Jill got a free USB card reader when she bought Tilde, her new S90, so I better ask for that instead. I finally got to watch My Sassy Girl and it was terrific, or at least the…

  • Ok I finally have DSL.

    The PLDT guys came over around 3 in the afternoon and hooked me up. This is the plan 990 they harp on about all the time and so far it’s been ok. My main barometers don’t use numbers. I just play internet radio on iTunes while doing some regular webmaster work and it hasn’t hiccupped…

  • why I’m here

    the very fact I have to remind myself occasionally why I decided to live here is reason enough to suspect, and rightly so, that I’m not enjoying myself. and sadly I’ve to face the fact that yes, after nearly a month, Ive started to wonder the wisdom of my move. then again I’m not completely…

  • Blogging Per Se, Safe Villages and Obama’s Book

    There was once upon at time when I was teh personal blogger and I think one of the primary reasons why I am starting to write on lefthandedlayup again is because of the excitement it gave me to post something up. I’ve way matured that feeling from the various (mostly self – serving) emotions conjured…

  • San Jose Realizations and Whatnot

    According to my phone’s sent box, I finally arrived with my last batch of stuff on the 6th then promptly fell sick that afternoon. I remember sitting down in my living room (and when I say ‘living room’ I mean a Uratex seat on the bare floor), dripping in sweat and feeling completely exhausted while…

  • Writing, TechEx, Cebu and Cranberry Juice

    I was trying to finish a strong opinion re Michael Jordan’s speech at the Hall of Fame for BallEx but I lost my train of thought due to a funny situation at Tech Exchange. Someone probably close to the person who wrote a badly worded press release which I wrote about started making personal attacks,…

  • Sick Ayuc, Groceries, A Kid’s Fight Against Cancer, and other things.

    I had been itching to blog these past days but unfortunately, Ayuc has acted up. It freezes right in the middle of things, which indicate either 2 things broken: the motherboard or RAM. Since it manages to boot up to a certain point, I’m blaming RAM. I have a source where I can buy 1gb.…
