Last night, I sold out and finally bought that iPod touch that I’ve been eyeing for the past several months. I still have that perfectly good iPod that I’ve been carrying for the past year and a half, but when push came to shove, gadget lust won over rationale.
That said, I’m selling my old [...]
It was a case of going out in style.
Being on the short stack last night, I thought I caught a lucky break when the turn revealed a full house for me. Sixes on queens. So I tried to play as wisely as I could, check raising and all the babble that comes with trapping an [...]
I seriously, seriously thought that I was one year younger than what I actually am. It wasn’t until I viewed my profile in this social network earlier today that I realized otherwise. And to think I’ve been counting wrong for the past six months.

Death Cab for Cutie’s Narrow Stairs. Out on 5/13. Can’t wait.
Thank God for the brave. It it weren’t for them, we probably wouldn’t have this unwarranted ‘day of valor’ holiday right smack in the middle of summer. Ergo, a two day weekend for me (I’ve got work on Saturdays).
So it goes without saying that I’m not really complaining, with this holiday seemingly baseless and all.
It’s [...]
Yesterday was quite a day, if you ask me. Woke up late feeling slightly woozy (that damn mojito’s a traitor!), and after much deliberation with my shobe of where to lunch, descended on nearby Ineng’s.
Ineng’s still is considerably ok, with their trademark 7-inch barbecues. But I don’t know, it just doesn’t bring that [...]
Last night marks the first time in quite a long time that I took a drink for no reason at all. No reunions to go to, no night outs with friends, just me and my Syrah.
I didn’t know what got to me, but there’s this bottle that I opened last December, still about 1/3 full, [...]
I was supposed to go out on this free postcard exhibit thingy at Fully Booked in Boni High last night, but I guess everybody was just swamped with something else. That, or nobody just remembered to do the actual planning of things. Seems everyone’s been hit by a juggernaut of laziness these days.
So, I decided [...]

About two years ago, I wrote a list of 50 items that I want to accomplish in this lifetime. While a few have already been ticked off (experience an F1 race, see a Picasso art piece, [...]
A couple of days ago, I was suddenly hit by a burning wanderlust upon learning that I’ve got close to 12,000 miles expiring soon on my frequent flyer program. I searched the airline website and day-dreamt about the possible destinations that I can go to, eliminating Korea and Japan for their impossibly high living [...]
Over lunch yesterday, I watched this endearing little movie called Juno. It was a fun film, both smart and unpretentious, and manifesting the same characteristics as Little Miss Sunshine that made me love that film so much.
As lunch break was only an hour, I only got to screen the first half of the movie. Eager [...]
