nokia5500 Originally uploaded by annalyn. Talking cellphones are here! And so... you will not just read SMS messages but also hear the same messages being read to you through the phone's Message Reader. I first heard about mobile phones' Text-to-Speech recognition from the Ben-Q distributor early this year (since Ben-Q phones carry them too) and now I get to test it first-hand with the new Nokia 5500 Sport which my editor has sent me to review.

Balut. I should have blogged about this more than a month ago during our first culinary trip to Pampanga but somehow the pictures got lost in my archives.

What's good about these stalls is that people flock to them like flies because they're cheap, they can ease your hunger pangs for a few pesos and some people seem to believe that the dirtier, the better (these places just have pails of water to wash the dishes, ...
