Comfort Zone
I first sat at this desk on the 9th of August 1999. I left it in 2003 to follow my family’s dream to Mindanao. In 2005 I was back again, although in a different location downstairs, with the technical group. And mid-2006 I moved back up here again, on this same spot, heading the web [...]
When my baby said goodbye
The blues walked in this morning, when my baby said goodbye
The blues walked in this morning, when my baby said goodbye
I wish I could change her mind, but I know it’s no use for me to try
Yes will you talk to me baby, if it’s just by the telephone
Won’t you please talk to me baby, [...]
Interview with the Bambit
Before the interview which I brazenly volunteered for at her blog, let me tell you something about my blogging sis Mari. She is the first ever visitor to my blog way way back when I started out at blogspot, and I will cherish her always because of this.
And here are the questions she asked me:

Maia Queen of the Jungle
In the empire of the senses
You’re the queen of all you survey

Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We’ll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

Maia does Ubuntu
Finally, after several hours of troubleshooting, loading up the Ubuntu alternate cd installer and having it fail to install the linux kernel, I got the bright (late but bright) idea of replacing the default dvd drive on Maia’s Tiny PC with one of my old cd-rw drives. Hindsight wags its finger at me, should’ve known [...]
Installing Ubuntu = Fun!
While I was camped out by Maia’s PC installing Ubuntu (and having a rather difficult time doing so on this Tiny PC from my Aunt in Seattle) I was surfing for tips on how to install Ubuntu on a really old PC. One of the sites I found was Jessamyn’s Librarian.net, where she has a [...]
The men of the house
It was more than six years ago when this picture (above) was taken, in that small apartment we rented in Guadalupe Nuevo, Makati City. Maui was just Maui and not Kuya Maui yet, he who walked to his school at Haven Montessori just a few houses away. This was during our pre-internet at home days, [...]
Weekend Poetry*
Kapag mahal mo
lahat gagawin mo
pero pag nawala
ang edukasyon
iiwan mo ang pagaartista
lalo pa’t buntis
ang kapitbahay
kailangan magwelga para
sa kapakanan ng mga tutubi
para walang
trafik sa bawat
pagpatak ng ulan
mamahalin mo ang bansa
kaya ikaw
at ang bulaklak
ng reyna
ang taas ng gasolina
wag ka nang umasa
kay Batman.
eto tandaan mo.
hindi ako adik.
