  • Facebook bans Filipino for using his real name

    UPDATE: Yay, his account has been re-activated! So my friend got banned from Facebook. The reason? Because Facebook thinks that my friend’s first and last name on his profile isn’t his real name. So one morning he logs into his profile page only to discover that his account has been locked. I can’t even find…

  • Nokia E75 in the Philippines: Photos and Hands On

    After previewing the Nokia N97, I was given an extra treat with the new E75, Nokia’s latest enterprise phone. Let’s say you had a Nokia E71 — stretch the keyboard to a full QWERTY and tuck it behind the E66. That’s probably the best way to describe the new E75. A full preview after the…

  • Unboxing Lachi’s Sans Rival from Davao City (PHP 285)

    I’m no food reviewer, but it doesn’t take an expert to know if something’s good — like REALLY GOOD.

  • Applied Learnings from Metaphysics

    OK so I cheated. This is actually a repost of something I did about a year ago for Qwantz. I was so engrossed in it, that I submitted two panels to Ryan. This is what you get when you graduate from two years worth of Metaphysics classes from PAREF Southridge School for Boys and the…
