Missing Horatio

I haven’t been downloading any movies lately and certainly not any of my favorite CSI:Miami Season 6 episodes. Been busy with work and more work and keeping the bandwidth at home at optimum performance meant no large downloads, after all four of us share this connection.
I’ve always liked CSI:Miami. Some CSI afficionados may think [...]


free rice

I found this on ruth’s blog, and it’s definitely something worth passing on.
how good is your english vocabulary? what if for every word you know, you could donate a spoonful of rice to feed a hungry person in a poverty-stricken country somewhere in asia or africa?
test and improve your english vocabulary online. for every [...]


DIY Branding can be Fun!

One of the most difficult aspects of marketing your business is branding. Some startup companies do it the simple (read: cheap) way with a word processor and built in graphics. But logo design is not just jazzing up a wingding on a photo editing program. Designing companies know this, and will charge you an arm [...]


Bayani BF Fernando is watching YOU.

Government property do not remove. Mere possession of this sign is punishable by law. MMDA.
That is the note lining the bottom edge of this enormous tarpaulin sheet that I have seen in at least three places along EDSA. The one above is on an MRT pillar adjacent to the turnoff to the Fort Bonifacio. I [...]


How a child remembers an old house

A child remembers an old house that she has not lived in for a long time. The house she remembers is huge, with a garden in front with a tree giving shade, grass as green as moss. The inside is spacious, she remembers pedalling on a trike in the living room where she was not [...]


Third one’s a charm?

Three strikes should get you out of the game, but apparently not if you’re Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
GMA ran when she said she wouldn’t, apologized for cheating when she did and now has admitted that she smelled the stink on the ZTE Broadband deal but went ahead and signed it anyway.
Maybe she thinks since she [...]


Make money the Bloggerwave way

Another means to make money with your blog is here. It’s called Bloggerwave.
I signed up for Bloggerwave after I saw it listed as one of the top 10 sites that can help me monetize my blog. I liked the honesty by which jobs were identified with the image that you see at the end of [...]


Not enough People Power

Sam’s brother Rowley was leading a small contingent of rallyists today at EDSA, so I asked Sam if I could go with them today. I was still embarrassed by the thought of being part of the enormous crowd that brought Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo into power seven years ago, and I wanted to make up for that [...]


RJ’s Birthday at Dream Land Caloocan

Spent most of the day in the water at Dream Land Resort in Caloocan. It’s quite a long cab ride from Parañaque but this was a special occasion. It’s Rafael James Gaerlan’s 2nd birthday. RJ is Maia’s younger cousin.
My shoulders and arms are starting to feel the sunburn, so I’ll let the pictures speak for [...]


Harsher punishment for parole violators

… and world peace.
It’s been several years since Gracie Hart (played by Sandra Bullock) uttered those words in the fictional Miss United States beauty pageant. But what still holds true to this day is the way people are wishing for more attainable goals, implying that world peace is not. Come to think of it, [...]
