It's a Dell Inspiron Mini!  I always wanted to have one and now Tita Vangie is selling her Dell Inspiron Mini for only Php17,000. So I texted her right away and asked if I could buy it from her. I was surprised to notice that she was a bit surprised herself that I would want to buy it. I mean, it's a Dell Inspiron Mini, for cryin' out loud. She hesitatingly agreed that I buy it

 I miss my iPhone 3GS. Few weeks ago, I was robbed and those guys got away with my most-loved phone. The experience was indeed traumatic. But I would be lying if I say I don't miss my iPhone. Aside from the cool stuff I was able to do with that gadget, I also had a lot of fond memories with it. I have never been so into the techie stuff before, not unitl that iPhone came to me.  I waited many

I have been contemplating on which internet provider I will go for. It's been like, what, a couple of months since I started comparing the services of major internet providers; Globe, Smart, and Sun. When I say comparing, I mean reading about what other subscribers have to say about these providers. But it still seems not enough for me to finally pick one provider above the rest. or should I

For a time now I have been a member of the forum and they surely can walk the talk.  Thanks to Applei.ph, Apple users like me can now get help with their questions about stuff regarding Mac or Apple products.

I'm not so fond of eating healthy. I know I should be watching what I eat from now on since age is catching up on me. But most often, eating healthy and not minding bland taste is just too hard to do. Good thing some people have been trying to change how we should find healthy food as boring. More and more people are now conscious of what to put into their mouths. Wonderful and tasty alternatives

Imagine this. You are holding hands with your partner and strolling by the beach. White sands kissing your feet while the amazing sun caressing your skin with enough warmth. Again, you are here in this familiar place where nature's beauty meets the beautiful people. From among the people, this lady approaches you telling you that you get an invite to a free lunch(yes, FREE) in their hotel. She

I was just taking my doze of surfing the net when I read a very motivating analogy from one of the blogs I follow. I got so moved and impressed by it that I am re-posting it here on my blog. I hope it is going to inflict the same effect to my followers (if I have any, hehe). The post was by someone named Dennis of Act Like A Man. Read on and I hope you'll like it. I did.

One good thing with us Filipinos is our knack for singing. Most, if not all, Filipinos know how to carry a tune.Another good thing about us, Filipinos, is Manny 'Pacman" Pacquiao. I am one of the many people who have watched this lanky hair-dyed fighter exchange blows with almost everyone who wants a piece of him in the ring. Now this fighter is now one of the most exciting boxer there is. Even

Few days ago, my girlfriend shared to me something really disappointing and disturbing. Apparently, she was also 'shaken' about what she learned which is something really sad for the country. It also stirred the same emotion from me.The Supreme Court and its Justices are looked up by most Filipinos as most intact when in comes to integrity. Of course, this is compared to the other departments of

I was reading some of my favorite blogs when I chance upon this site which I really did not intend to click on. The link directed me to a site which has a very simple construction which, I must say, is not typical for its purpose.The site offers to translate what ever you want to say in "Jologs Language". I am actually not sure if there is such a term. I have nothing against those who patronize

Just few minutes ago I was in one of the well-known BPO's in the Metro. For a company known as one of the best, their 'receptionist' was not as friendly and courteous as one would expect. The experience with this receptionist's way of addressing visitors and future employees of the company left a bad taste in my mouth. I just hope the company will be able to make it up with their excellence in

As I was browsing the net, I stumbled into a buzz about one of the TV Series that I have been following. I learned of a big chance that the series wont get another chance to air for its Third Season. Now that should raise a lot of complaints from those following the said TV series. I just recently found out that the said show does have a lot of followers. The Legend of the Seeker, like most of

This morning, I was feeling a bit tired and exhausted than the usual. I dragged myself to work with eyes a few more tons heavier. I fought hard to keep myself awake while walking to the office. I think there were even moments when I was walking like drunk. My tummy might give out that idea that I love drinking but the thing is that I don't drink.Because I was so feeling worn out and off today, I

Since Me and my girlfriend started dragging ourselves to the gym, it really has been a constant struggle. I know I've read about the challenges in keeping a habit of getting oneself fit considered as difficult but I never thought it would be this real. Hats off to those who have passed this stage then.Part of the struggle is in choosing what to eat. Not being healthy and be in that shape we've

Today in the office, we were asked to wear something red. Since it's Valentines Day, the people at the office got this very 'unique' idea of seeing agents in red. Some complied and wore red tees, red caps, red socks, and even red undies (now how did I ever get to know this?). So red was all over the place and it was kinda crazy to see a lot of the said color in one day. So I wore my red

Just few days ago my relationship was rocked hard that almost reached its apocalypse. It really scared the wits out of me. And the situation really caught me off guard which is regretfully one of the reasons why I got into this mess. Fortunately, I was able to convince her to give it another shot...thank God!Life is not always like that. Sad as it may seem but it doesn't always give us another

I celebrated my not so much-awaited birthday last January 17. I'm not being ungrateful still being able to breathe and alive. When one is passed the age of 30 (darn, now you got an idea how young I am), you just try not to count the succeeding birthdays. But one thing that happened on this day which makes made it one of the best birthdays ever is my new gadget. I got myself an black iPhone 3Gs

I feel lost.It's not that I had no idea how on earth I got myself into this disappointing drama. The hints were all over the place and yet, somehow, I just shrugged them off like I do with dirt on slippers. But was I thinking that by continually neglecting those clues and refusing to address them they will just concede and burst like bubbles? If so, what was I thinking, for crying out loud?Now,

This year, I decided to start a different lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is what I'm aiming for this year. I beleive it is never too late to start a good and healthy habit. But I'm no guru in healthy lifestyle. Actually, I'm one of those people you will never find in a gym sweating it out to loose those unwanted calories. But that was last year...and the years before last year.People are now

I spent the final hours of the year 2009 at my girlfriend's house to welcome 2010 and what it brings. The same time last year, I was also here but it was a bit different scene. Lola Tele was still around and the whole Santos Family celebrated the season all hopeful for her recovery. She passed away just few months ago though.

As the hours slowly crawl to embrace the first day of another year, I bet people now are having different takes on how things will be in 2010. This uncertainty is somehow empowering to each of us who are clinging to that slice of hope that the coming year will be much better-- which really means favorable to each individual. Though we always, sometimes annoyingly, hear optimistic yearning for a

Few hours ago I was with my girlfriend and her mom in Robinson's Supermarket in Imus, Cavite. As we expected, it was like the end of the world for the people rampaging the stalls inside the supermarket. I can't even move an inch without brushing shoulders with these insanely excited and , for some, panicky citizens.Honestly, I enjoyed the sight of people going about the place trying to grab the

It's almost here.The world anticipates it's coming every each year. Like one's birthday, it can't be stopped or even postponed. We may be able to ignore it but it can still be annoyingly present. After all that has happened within the year-- the good and the not-so-good-- it has always become the source of hope and inspiration for the people.During this season, our tired and beaten soul bathes in

This baby was unattended for the past months. The months that have passed were really note-worthy and some were memorable to me. A lot of things have happened and yet not even a mention of these things on this blog. I admittedly neglected this "baby" of mine. In spite of what sorry mistake I did of not updating my blog and feeding it with my happenings, it didn't give up on me. Somehow, this site

It seems forever since the last time I posted anything here. The hibernation was really premeditated.A lot of unforgettable and regretful events happened for, what, a month or so. Events that I plan to share with everyone(referring to those who chance on reading this) as life takes its course. Perhaps I was just overwhelmed by the chain of events that disturbed the stillness of the my river.Soon

The month of July is Data Privacy Month for the BPO I'm working in. The company is promoting and/or reminding everyone to be extra careful in handling significant information-- the customers' or the company's.

I've worked in this industry long enough to know how things are in this part of the hood. I had my share of hard times-- to the point of wanting to shoot anyone who would make some noise-- getting some precious but elusive slumber too. Countless are the days, or nights, when I don huge eye bags at work and had to wear sunglasses due to lack of sleep during the daytime.For those times when getting

The rain still went on the whole day today. It was no different than the past days. Some people were still trying to find their ways through the knee-high floods. As if the usual stubborn traffic was not enough.This cold weather leaves us feeling lazy the whole day.

In rare occasions, I chance on getting a glimpse of local celebrities. Strangely though, I was luckier with what I call my jologs moment when I was still in Cebu than here in Manila. Though local stars abound in this side of the country, the odds of finding myself in their midst are less in most times.One of those rare moments happened last Sunday. And of all the occasions it had to be during a

The past few days almost all news and blogs were on a posting-frenzy about Michael Jackson. I tried to shun mentioning him after my post affirming his passing away . But others are busy giving us somehow blow-by-blow accounts on Michael’s death. I read reports about how the doctors -- who attended the King of Pop during his last minutes -- could be held liable and in deep trouble. There were

The most popular social networking tool right now is Facebook. This is according to a poll initiated by Shai Coggins in his blog. Based on the 129 participants of the poll, 49% choose Facebook over other networking sites like Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn. Although, I must say, Twitter is gaining popularity nowadays. A lot of these networking sites have been popping out one after the other and

A cardiac arrest took the King of Pop from our world. It was at 12:00PM when it all happened. The paramedics weren't able to revive him. I can just imagine how heartbreaking it was for those paramedics. His comeback concert was supposed to be the "Final Curtain" but death was so impatient with Michael Jackson and just can't wait. But could it be that the said concert stressed him out so much

If you check your pockets and wallets right now, would you be happy of what you'll find? Or do you have a savings account with some banks? Are you troubled for the lack of money? If your answer to the questions is yes, then good for you. You'll definitely get a different answer if you throw the same questions at me. But if I somehow got you feeling sad and low after those questions, then never

When you are in a relationship, there is no doubt, you will have your share of heated conversations, long-playing arguments, or(to some) bloody fights. It's as real as the sun rises and sets everyday. Or as certain as birthdays and deaths.Like any other couple or relationship, me and my girlfriend have our own share of these-- not on the bloody fights though(see me still

The Autobots are hunting down a Decepticon Audi R8. This group of Autobots is made up of The Twins, an ice cream truck that splits into two smaller bots, Arcee, a hot pink female motorcycle bot, Wheels, a go-kart bot, Stinger, possibly a Porsche, and Ironhide, the GMC pickup truck and weapons specialist from the first Transformers.

 If you look around and observe how people are doing, everyone is concerned about work. Either they are having some hard time staying 'alive' at work (and considering a switch to another job) or finding it difficult to land a job to stay alive-- literally. And it's not helping that companies are firing people or laying off their employees. Although an employees tenure helps one keep (even for the

This is my dad.I say he is extraordinarily diligent and the most responsible dad I know. Give me a chance to choose another guy to be my dad and I would still pick this choco-colored skin guy in the photo-- but don't mistake him with the Chocolate Guy in that AXE Ad. Of course, my old man is not perfect and also had his own share of lapses. There were even moments, I remember, when I so hated his

Few weeks from now I will be missing these in the photos I've included. And, god forbid, probably some of the people in here too. Memorable moments, I will definitely keep in me. What's about to happen soon is life's own way of reminding us to treasure each moment. Seize the day. Grab those opportunities. Since we (apparently) can't do something about this change, let's just make the best out of

I was just reading and browsing through the web for some quality read when i came upon this post. It was from Jerminix, he said it was a forwarded email from one of his officemates. I find it quite inspiring and timely. I'm kinda feeling low for the past few days and a bit confused about how things have become with me.

 I got myself an Ako Mismo dog tag. Though one can buy it for P400 and be assured of a better quality dog tag, I just chose to get the cheaper (P40) one for now. I figured I want to try it out one first and just spend for the more expensive and got longer chains dog tag later. Hope it wont run out that fast though. A lot of people were also able to grab their own Ako Mismo dog tag last June 12

I was on hurry buying (I still need to get some sleep for work later) some ingredients in SM Southmall for the pork adobo I'll be having for dinner when I felt something strange with the people around me. Everyone seemed uneasy and are checking all the gondolas as if looking for something. They seemed to have the same thing in mind. Then I soon found out-- the "socially aware" side of me just

Rumor has it that it's not a rib injury which made Floyd Mayweather Jr. backout (okay, postponed) from the anticipated(?) clash between him and the ever stubborn Juan Manuel Marquez in July 2009.But whether it's a rib injury or just him chickening out, it still doesn't look good for him and with his plans of facing the charm of Manny Pacquiao in the ring. I don't remember hearing Manny backing

I just want to share some photos during my short (just went there for my mom and dad's birthdays) but memorable visit to my parents in Cebu. It's been years since my last visit so I really had to go there. I never got to see my dad during his birthday last January and last June 3 was my mom's birthday, so the visit was for both of my folks. And besides I miss them so much too.I also got to meet,

It's Philippine Independence Day and everyone (I bet most bloggers too) are on their toes posting about it. Obviously, I'm joining the posting spree and give my piece to this site.I am proud to be a Filipino. I can't think of any nationality that I would rather belong to than being a filipino.

The other day I got nothing to do (actually, just got bored at work) and checked out stuff over the internet. Then I read about PageRank. First of all, I know that this humble site of mine is relatively new compared to those who have been doing this for quite some time now. While others are enjoying the fruits of their labor with their blogs, I was probably trying to figure out what to do with my

Lately, these people in photo were part of me and my gf's daily routine. No, we are not acquintances or friends (though I think my gf acquaintanceswould love to be that with them).

Blogging was all weird and strange to me at first. And it was a bit expensive for me (still is today though). Back then, I had no means of accessing the web without going to cafes and renting their worn out PCs. Not to mention, time was something I didn’t have back then -- at least for blogging. In fact, I had countless blogs created but never got to update them for the same reasons. But finally,

Have you seen the newest Terminator movie? Terminator Salvation. I watched it last night. Though I had to go to work, I still resolved to spend Php130 for the movie. I say it was worth it but not quite. The movie was not for one-time viewing so I grabbed something for dinner and eat it inside the movie theater. I settled for a large Shakey’s Special Pizza and some Mojos in garlic dip. Thought I’

What comes to mind when you read or hear the abbreviation FHM? I believe most of you would say the Men's Magazine FHM comes to mind, right? Well, at least to most of us men would agree. Sexy ladies gracing the covers of this mag each month just appears to be very effective catching our attention and, eventually, remembering things associated with it. So the company I'm working at came up with the

f a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” It’s one of those ordinary days at work. People are busy doing their own thing; work and even non-work related stuff. You hear keyboard taps from every corner and, most of the time, people around are sounding like not from the country. Occasionally, crisp giggles and loud laughter-s are heard, which are actually

It’s has not been a fruitful day at work. It’s Memorial Day in the U.S. and everyone is not answering the phone. Actually, I believe the company should have sent us home since it would just be a waste of time and the company’s resource for letting us report for work.

Honestly, I believe I can relate to this entry since I am also fond of singing songs with my own lyrics.

Few days ago I was feeling a little low. I got myself some reality check and didn't like how it made me feel. A friend in college called me up couple of nights ago and we were talking about how life has treated us and some of our friends. It's been long since we've seen each other since I relocated myself here in Manila. I've lived most of my life in the city of Cebu. I

It's been a tough and rough day. I'm right here on by butt, helping (or at least trying to) Americans with their delinquent checking accounts with the bank I'm working for. Yeah, you heard me right. I'm working for a bank. I got no banking background, not comfortable with mathematics or accounting, and sucks in managing money and yet I'm here. And I've been on this for eight long hours today.

I haven’t gotten over the sad fact that my father’s birthday escaped me.But it’s as if it was not enough, history just hit me with a straight on the face again. It didn’t just catch me off-guard and unable to grasp some air but it floored me hard. I remember I vowed not to be in the same situation again after the first occasion.

It was like any other day; got off from work, ate a plain breakfast, tucked myself under the sheets, then snorted like a pig. But it was a sleep cut short by a phone call. With much effort, I checked the time and it was just 9 o’clock in the morning. It was just almost an hour since I dozed off so answering the phone was the last thing on my mind.It was my sister calling. So I thought I had to

A lot have been said about the recently concluded Inauguration of President Barrack Hussein Obama. Comments are many too about how the 44th President of the Strongest Country in the world delivered his speech. Many were all praise but still some have something to say about it. I didn't get to watch and hear the speech itself. I only saw tidbits of the inauguration. So I, thought, probably I can

On one of the blogs Bo Sanchez wrote on his site, he was asking his readers about how they found their one true love. He was actually planning to come up with a book that would include the love stories of the readers. He solicited for stories from his readers and, I must say, he did a good job since a lot of readers bombarded him with their stories. <?xml:namespace prefix = o />Now, let me just

The long anticipation ended. At last, I can now bravely say I already experienced it. I’ve avoided a lot of talks about it for the simple reason that I have nothing to brag about. Alas, I now can say I’m a made man. I had SEX for the first time. You heard me right; it was last Monday when I willingly gave up my innocence. It was something I should have done long time ago. But as the

After I got off from work at 6:00 in the morning my lawyer-girlfriend asked me if I could come with her to Makati. She was to attend a hearing at Makati City Hall at around 7:30am then have lunch with her law school friends. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it on time for the hearing. We were just late for a few minutes though. After some worrying and some efforts to make up for missing the

I’m at it again. I just hate it when this happens. I plan to buy some things when I go to a mall but still I would end up empty handed. I have the dough to make purchases, alright, but I just can’t seem to decide whether to buy it or not. Just when I’ve decided on what to purchase, last minute call tells me not to. Reasons not to buy the items suddenly pop up from nowhere. Now they get me to

I was watching Boy and Kris and Angel Locsin was one of their guests on the show. I don’t watch this show that often, I think this is even the longest period I got my eyes glued to the show. I blame Angel Locsin for it. The guys on the show picked two from the audience and gave them a chance to impress the actress. I must say those guys blew it. They sang and even danced pathetically in front

I am trying to watch cable at the same trying to scribble my way through another blog. Normally, it’s as easy as eating and drinking. But at this moment it doesn’t seem to be the case. I find myself fiddling with the remote every so often trying to find the channel to tune in ‘till I am done with whatever. Bothered that I can’t find the right channel, I turn the tv off. We sometimes find

Most of us, if not all, are now ready or just about ready to come up with their New Year's Resolution. As we welcome the year 2009 our hope to formulate our resolution to keep for the entire year bothers us, if you may. We somehow find it difficult to finalize our New Year's resolution and it worries us, at least I do. Thinking of goals to set and to religiously follow for the rest of the year

It's two hours before the New Year starts. I just found myself a moment to do some blogging inside my girlfriend's room while she was busy preparing one of her fave food -- pasta in tuna and garlic showered with basil. Everyone in the house seemed busy doing their own stuff while we waited for midnight to strike. Anticipation filled me up since it was the first time I'll be spending the New Year

This is one of the things I learned from the sequel Fallen, which I watched last night. The idea really got me interested and so I watched it to its end. I only got the season one copy and am not sure if season two is already out. Well, I'm not really that eager to watch the second season since I believe I had my fill of it.As implied in the movie, it was believed that after the Great Battle in

The first time I pictured myself blogging, earning wasn't really part of it. I used to see blogging as a way to share my thoughts to the world and what's the best way to do it but to post them on the internet. It seemed to work since people I know, and even those I don't, get to read my blogs. I even received nice comments from some of these individuals. But it's a known fact that one can't

December 24 and 25 were declared no-work day by the company I'm working at. For most of the people, it might not be a surprise but to us call center guys, it's double the fun and celebration. Not everyone gets to celebrate and spend Christmas with their loved ones at home if he belongs to the used-to-be elite group of nocturnal professional rats. Since starting a career in this field-- which is

It's Saturday night and I'm alone in the apartment. Not to mention it's All Saint's Day. So I tried to find ways to keep myself busy to pass time. I tried to key in my thoughts at the moment. They have been trying to get my attention as if they wish to be set free. They are clamoring for freedom. Freedom from the mind that's filled with concepts and opinions not put into use.Recently, I made a

"Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come; Love awaits you! Love is not grown in a garden, nor sold in the marketplace; whether you are a king or a servant, the price is your head, and nothing less. Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head! Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!"I had a conversation with some friends about how one should love

" I used to believe that anything was better than nothing. Now I know that sometimes nothing is better. ~Glenda Jackson" I definitely love to talk. People I know couldn't agree more on this. My friends would ask if there's something wrong when they don't hear me talk just for a second...well, it's an exaggeration but your know what I mean. I love to share stories.
