Ugh, woke up late this morning because of my apartment-mate. I’m really glad he’s in the other room and not in mine, because he’s one of those types who usually forgets there are other people in the same time zone. Last night — or rather, early this morning at around 3 am — I was […]
Lots of anti-Erap rallies happening this week. Several groups from rural areas outside Manila are supposed to be converging on the city on Wednesday for a big one. And rich folk are hosting a free “People Power Lunch” for anti-Erap rallyists at the Ayala-Paseo intersection. Ha! Using Erap’s own pang-masa tactics against him. Maybe that, […]
FB4F didn’t win the Web Award. But that’s okay, I wasn’t expecting to win. I praise God that I even reached the Finalists, which is a miracle all in itself. Well, now the awards are over, I can go about transitioning it to the more serious urban legends site over the weekend. I’m rather glad […]
How could I have been so blind? Eloquent and intelligent though he may sound, Pinoyexchange’s SoulfulHunk is just a troll! (Troll: a person who posts inflammatory threads in message boards with the purpose of deliberately invoking retaliatory replies.) Albeit a highly skilled troll. He knows how to go trolling without breaking — just bending — […]
There’s a pair of email forwards going around now about food poisoning cases in local branches of McDonald’s. (Manila, Philippines, in case you didn’t know.) Specifically the branches in Glorietta Makati and Intramuros. I tracked down the emails by the signatures attached and contacted the people purportedly involved, and from what I’ve heard from them, […]
Why are there people like this on the Net, I wonder? This Memnocch loser has been posting disruptively pornographic or flame-ish posts all over PEX, and now he claims that he’s invincible to do what he likes on the board. We may soon ban him.
As I head home to the Philippines today, just a few quick travel notes: It’s not everyday you see an Indian karate student — still in his outfit — riding a Razor scooter down the busy streets of Causeway Bay. The standing urinals in men’s toilets here in HK do not have flush handles. Chinese […]
Hello from Hong Kong!!! I’m just stealing some time on the authoring terminal to blog a bit — wow, this is the fastest broadband connection I’ve ever used. All these Chinese characters on the keyboard are a bit confusing, though. Hong Kong’s a beautiful city. It’s clean and organized, and definitely a refreshing change from […]
Am typing this from the new office. It’s very small. New job, new long-term commitment to a career option. I should be excited, I suppose. Sort of. Hard to be excited in this tiny office. At least there’s a window beside my workstation. My HK trip got moved to next Thursday. I’m looking forward to […]
Lazy day, lazy day. I can’t wait till work starts. I should be going to Hong Kong tomorrow, but the trip got moved. But that’s pretty cool: I can tell people, “I’m going to Hong Kong on business.” Nyerk.
