MeMeMe Hexcuse me, this is a rather narcissistic post and I hate talking about myself. But for a lack of an appropriate blog topic and the fact that nobody seems to have noticed (heheh), allow me to embark on a supercalifragilistic post on why I decided to cut my hair short one day and out of the blue. Needless to say, this decision has liberated me. I figured that most women I know grew their hair long to please their partners or attract the opposite sex. Some friends I know would never - for the life of 'em - chop their mane without consulting The Husband ... Continue Reading...
‘Authentic’ Indian food in Manila at Queens Crystal Garden Restaurant
QueensResto. I've always wanted to try good Indian food in Manila. Though I've done so in one of those hole-in-th-wall eateries along U.N. Avenue (beside those rows of Indian groceries), I've been on the look-out for a fine dining establishment representative of the continent.

So imagine my relief when I got invited "on coverage" to a cocktail party at Queens in Jupiter St. Makati City. The complete name is Queens Crystal Garden Restaurant, ... Continue Reading...

The idea is to form an army of employee volunteers to work for some development projects in progress. Attention HR managers: this could be a noble alternative to the out-of-town excursions, basketball ... Continue Reading...
Nokia’s 5500 Sport & the advent of the talking cellphones
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. What can I say? It's really C-O-O-L! ... Continue Reading...
LG’s 5 megapixel cellphone
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. These ... Continue Reading...
