For the first time in my life, I was a victim of food poisoning. This happened to me early dawn of Saturday when I suddenly woke up with painful cramps on my tummy (like labor pains), vomiting and diarrhea. Indeed, I was too weak and too dazed that I could not even get myself to go to the toilet. I was thinking of the events of the night before when I went to the gym and had a KFC chicken fillet sandwich for dinner. But the culprit turned out to be the tahong (mussels) I ate 16 hours before which also downed more than a dozen people in our office. Apparently, someone ... Continue Reading...
Welcome to my slum book
First of all, I'd like to apologize to some peeps if I haven't been able to answer the memes they sent me, like Yuga for the books and Minette, Celia K , Toni for my choice of cookbooks. I realized that my reading list these days can fit the Hall of Shame as it is limited to internet sites and no-brainer page-turners. But I promise to answer your tags soon, as soon as I organize my bookshelf and get reading once again. In the meantime, my high school buddies Lei and Anna Lyn sent me an email this morning which I couldn't resist answering (not all though!) You're right ... Continue Reading...
The Samsung Roadshow & Nokia Launch
YP-D1 Originally uploaded by annalyn. The past week had me attending the Samsung Digital Roadshow and Nokia Launch in two posh hotels. These are tech industry events where you are supposed to salivate at all the gadgets on display and wonder why you don't have the salary to afford them in the first place. A highlight are the raffles which I never win (ugh!) Again, it gets me thinking that if I never win raffles where I get to compete with 20 or so press people, the probability is that I'll never win the lottery in a million years. The Samsung event ...

Of Users, Abusers and the ‘Media Complex’
The reason why I put a disclaimer in my "commercial" post below is because I was asked not too long ago if I was hired by the cellphone companies to "endorse" their products in my blog and out of it. No, I didn't take it against this person who claims to dutifully compile my newspaper columns every week and put them in a folder. He was just curious if I could actually earn money from blogging. I had to tell him that this blog is a labor of love for now and the extra money I get for writing my articles is barely enough to cover my phone bills/ internet connection, ... Continue Reading...
I am a consumer, therefore…I am
dunkin' hazelnut coffee Originally uploaded by annalyn. The Fashmagslag, who is in my favorite city - New York - raved before about how good Dunkin' Donuts hazelnut-flavored coffee is. Darn, I was excited when I found out they have it in Manila too. Needless to say, I've been drinking cupfuls of them and it's my favorite coffee at the moment. Anong panalo ng overpriced Seattle's and Starbucks? A cup with a swig of hazelnut liqueur (or whatever they call it) costs only P33 bucks and is enough to send me to caffeine heaven. Other flavors available are French ... Continue Reading...
