My creation Yay! I didn't expect to get my super-special present a week before Christmas and now I am a happy owner of the Sony Ericsson W550i, otherwise known as "the other Walkman phone." All I can say is that it's damn good ~ well, at least better than the basic phone I had before this. What I was thinking before buying: "Oh gee, these unscrupulous merchants have jacked up cellphone prices just because it's Christmas. But since I might spend the money on something else, sige bilhin na nga! (Go ahead, I'll buy it!)" Total damage: 15K at the ... Continue Reading...

In search of a new cellphone
MSS has promised to give me a new cellphone for Christmas and in the meantime I've been busy scouring the shops to fit the $200 budget. Cellphones are quite expensive to have - the good ones would fall within the $300 to $500 price range - yet it's amazing how people would splurge their entire bonuses on these gadgets.

Onboard Manila’s Jumbo Kingdom
Jumbo Kingdom There are a number of floating restaurants in Manila but none is as quite posh and lavish as The Jumbo Kingdom which is docked in the CCP Complex, along the Manila Bay . "Ano ba yan, para akong nasa ibang bansa! (Oh my! Looks like am in another country)" is a common reaction of Manila's pollution-induced visitors upon seeing this giant ship which looks every inch like a majestic temple at night with its resplendent display of bright neon lights. Reportedly costing $600 million, this one is not your run-of-the-mill Superferry dear; this one was ... Continue Reading...
Dear God, From The Mouth of Babes
Kids can be the cutest during their most candid moments. A group of primary schoolers were told: "if you were to come face to face with God, what would you tell him?" Here's what they said they would ask: "Dear God, did you mean for giraffe to look like that or was it just an accident?"
