I’m worth PHP 2,500.00

This yoghurt thing
Apparently Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is now serving frozen yoghurt. It’s pretty good. But despite the menu of flavors they have, I still prefer the ONE flavor that they don’t advertise: the plain yoghurt with a honey stick. Or you can be a total douche and run to Starbucks and grab two small sachets…

Hey cool, Angry Birds is also out on the N900
I really couldn’t believe it: Angry Birds is out for the N900. This is what I’m talking about — it’s not about the phone these days. It’s really about the apps and the developer community.

[Click to enlarge] Although in real life, the Philippines has a new president, it didn’t reflect as such on the Internet. After President Benigno S.

Blogger Rico Mossesgeld noticed this and went the extra mile to “suggest”…

(Not so) simple joys
A month ago, my MacBook’s backlight gave way. No, the screen wasn’t broken — but I’d have to shine a strong LED light into the screen to see anything. RIght now, my crippled portable is confined as a glorified desktop computer with the external display hooked to a 22-inch monitor. Computer-less in my travels I…

The Sardine Run in Pescador Island, Moalboal, Cebu
Three months ago, there were reports of millions of sardines mysteriously appearing along the reef of Pescador Island in Moalboal, Cebu. There were mixed reports — some had said the sardines had been there for years while others say that this is a “now” phenomenon. Net of it all: recently, divers from all over the…

Goodbye, Fran
You were one of the first to invite me to all your events. You became a friend. After finding out that we both lived in the same area, plans to meet up and have a beer (on me) would always end up in either one of us being too busy. Life went on. You coming…
