me_withLGphone Originally uploaded by annalyn. One of these days I'll have to write something about the Manila Bulletin's Technews lab which houses all the latest gizmos and gadgets, sometimes even before they are distributed in the Philippines or written about in the other newspapers. Every time I visit this publication I write for (which is as frequent as once a month, to get my check, lol) I am amazed at the variety and diversity of the technology on display, which just lie around scattered in the whole workplace, such as my editor's table.

Get fit tips from my gym
Gyms are really not the favorite destination of Filipinos, malls are.

To break up is to make up … your life!
Is it life or is it just the weather but I don't understand why, three months into Christmas, this seems to be a season of break-ups among my circle of friends. And as you can very well imagine, nothing can be more heart-rending. Take for example Friend A who's given it all in a relationship which appears to be one-way. She was the one who broke it off but now she wants to take it back, reasoning out that she can never live without him. We try to tell her that "God will send you someone better in his own time" even though we know it's an exercise in futility ... Continue Reading...
