Guess it really was just a toy watch
Late last year I posted a rather rave review of my ToyWatch timepiece. But I was to be proven sorely wrong about my sentiments. I went swimming in a pool one weekend and did some laps, and I had the ToyWatch on. I didn’t dive with it or do anything out of the ordinary except [...]
Minute Maid – yummy pulpy goodness
I just had a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon… it’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe that refreshing taste and those delightful pulp bits really were swimming free of preservatives. Why not give it one more swig to taste the difference? I [...]
Of toys and watches
On my way to Europe a few months ago, I borrowed a watch from my brother, and he lent me his ToyWatch. Not a toy watch, but an honest-to-goodness timepiece that looks formal enough yet trendy at the same time. I got to like it so much it’s still with me now! And I have [...]
What’s in a name?
The Sony Bloggie™ — Would you look at that! A trademark on my nickname. Well, mine’s spelled with one G (although many of my friends and acquaintances spell it with two). The first time Jayvee Fernandez told me about this camcorder, I had mixed feelings. I felt a burst of pride for my nickname, but [...]
Rarin’ for the outdoors
For some years now I’ve been following a rather sedentary lifestyle, due mostly to my blogging and Internet-based involvements. I do get to go out and meet people a lot — and I’ve been busy with a couple of major events — but I’ve not been engaging in truly active stuff lately. It’s a wonder [...]
Interesting facts & figures about the Moon
The landing on the moon took place forty years ago yesterday, on 20 July 1969. Here are some interesting facts and figures about the Earth’s satellite. The Astronauts had to back up their computer-guided navigation system by making star sightings with a sextant, much like Captain Cook and other 18th-century mariners before them. A present [...]
Twilight and on to nothingness
At the risk of offending fans of the movie Twilight, I’m afraid I must give it two thumbs down. I went in with no expectations (I haven’t read the book), and with no intention at all of comparing it with Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, but I was still sorely disappointed. Acting-wise, Robert Pattinson and Kristen [...]
WordCamp Phils. T-shirt: it’s officially famous
Ever since Matt started talking about the WordCamp Philippines 2008 T-shirt design, the buzz hasn’t quite died down yet, even months after the event. Today I got a trackback to the WCP site from WordCamp Ed D.C. (WordCamp Ed is an initiative that’s focused on promoting the educational uses of WordPress.) The post is about [...]
.ME domain now open to the public
Got me another domain to satisfy my vanity — and to protect my online identity somehow. See, someone beat me to blogie.com, and that was really frustrating for me. Yeah, it’s all about ME! The new top-level domain, that is: .ME, which is now open for registration to the whole world. GoDaddy sells it for [...]
