To those who don’t know, I just celebrated my 27th birthday. The past year for me has been one of the most significant times in my life. I went through so much changes in the past 12 months – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and professionally. Some for worse, but most definitely for the better. I’d like [...]

Before, parents had to snoop around their kids’ room and to find out what was happening in their lives. These days it’s much more simpler! Parents just have to be a little tech-savvy and get on social networks. Kids these days have a habit of “life streaming” – or literally putting everything and anything about [...]

I was rushed to the ER at Makati Med several weeks ago because I had difficulty breathing. Apparently I had a major case of heartburn and costochondritis (inflamed lungs). After I got out of the hospital, I made a personal decision to finally stop living the way that I do and I’d switch to a [...]

I finally have a custom logo for the site! This was made by a fellow gamer from the Ragnarok days, Lyle “Weightless” Ham. You might want to check his blog out. He talks about web design and gaming so it’s a pretty interesting read. Thanks for the logo Lyle!

I made a very interesting post over at my Gaming and Technology blog, Waukster Online. The post summarizes my experience with 3 DSL connections – SMART Bro, PLDT MyDSL, and Bayantel. I made a quick run down of the pros, cons, and some comparative analysis between the three. If you still have no internet connection [...]

The Stop Con Ass Facebook campaign is nearing the 100,000 sign-up mark. It’s amazing how fast it’s grown over the past couple of weeks. What’s interesting to note though is how some of the proponents of physical rallies (for the same cause) have been hitting on the campaign, even calling it “slacktivism”. Instead of embracing [...]

I recently helped launch a new website forum called School Talk. The primary goal of this new site is to serve as a medium for parents, students, and educators to learn from one another about their experiences in school. This is definitely a big help for young parents who are still trying to figure their [...]

I am really dumbfounded at what just happened. Apparently the hardware of Tahanan dot Net (also known as Greymatter Unlimited), the host of this site, crashed over the weekend. That’s the main reason why the site was inaccessible since yesterday morning. Normally, I would understand but what makes things worse is that they only had [...]

When I was a kid, I got really annoyed when my parents would stop me from watching cartoons on the television because they wanted to watch TV Patrol or World Tonight. When I grew up and started becoming more involved with politics, I was the one telling my younger sisters to stop watching cartoons so [...]

I was really happy to find out that New Media Philippines is still in the running for the Top 10 Influential Emerging Blogs Project that Janette Toral is hosting. We’re already at the 4th week and I think I’m at number 4 or 5 based on the rankings. Let me just take this opportunity to [...]

I was doing my usual Sunday reading while drinking my favorite Lipa Buko Juice when I almost spewed out the drink after reading one of the articles. In page A7 of the May 31, 2009 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Kabataan Party-list Representative Mong Palatino revealed that the infamous Right of Reply Bill (No. [...]

Based on Janette’s comments in my previous post for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs, I have to omit two entries and complete the list. This post pretty much is my final entry to the writing project. I’ve already taken out the two blogs that weren’t qualified and added a new batch of blogs to [...]

Okay, I’m a sucker for quizzes in Facebook. There’s this new quiz going around wherein users can actually make their own test and send it to their friends (How well do you know me?). I managed to score 100% on the quiz of my girlfriend, Mich (rawr!). I’ve made my own quiz as well. It [...]

Janette Toral recently launched the top 10 influential emerging blogs project. Basically bloggers nominate 10 blogs that just started May 2008 that they think have grown in readership and influence. You don’t have to write down all 10 and you can edit your entries until August 2, 2009. I had problems getting 10 blogs since [...]

Last February, I had an officemate do a guest post on Pinoy Food Critic about her trip to Singapore. She did a blog post on Chewy Junior, a pastry shop which specializes in small cake snacks.

While millions of Filipinos trooped to malls, theaters, restaurant bars, and government sponsored telecasts, others decided to just google to watch the recently concluded Pacquiao – Hatton match. Since I woke up pretty late this morning, I wasn’t able to go to any of the places that were showing it live. I just typed in [...]
