grfx by Polo, originally uploaded by ajay1.The second installment of my newspaper column on blogs is now online and am glad the oh-so-popular Sassy Lawyer has helped me spread the word by mentioning about it in her blog.The Philippine blog scene is exciting and so rich with materials that I shouldn't have a problem looking for suitable content in the next months or so.In the meantime, next week's discussion on "How Blogging Started in the Philippines" should be an interesting one. Look for it in the Manila Bulletin's Technews Section this Monday. ... Continue Reading...
Cellphone Mentality
Nokia 6680 Originally uploaded by annalyn. Two weeks ago I was at the launching of Nokia's latest phone models at this five star hotel. I must say it was a superb experience munching on salmon & beef roulade while pretty ladies unveiled the phones one by one, as one might expect at a Sotheby's auction. If you haven't noticed, Nokia has been churning out phone models every quarter or so - which is indicative of its demand in the market, and the threat posed by equally-prolific brands like Samsung et al. As a result of that event, my dream phone at the moment is ... Continue Reading...
Moving Out, Moving In
My Pasay City immersion program has ended and now the whole family is settled in our two-bedroom apartment in Malate, the heart of Manila's tourist district.What else can I say... while I loved my own bedroom with its own spacious bathroom in Pasay, the city itself had become unbearable for me with its filth and all those kids romping around in the streets.

But that hasn't stopped me from being engrossed with what I consider to be one of the most amazing revolutions ever: the phenomenal growth of our blogosphere. This led me to propose to an editor of my former newspaper: "how about a section on blogs and Filipino bloggers?" The idea was just as soon approved and yesterday, my maiden article came out. I am happy yet sad that all ... Continue Reading...
It’s a laugh out there
My fellow bloggers and I have this email group in Google where we exchange thoughts on a sundry of topics - from HTML codes to what we had for breakfast to how somebody looked like 15 years ago. Bouncing in between are green jokes, what the latest chismis are in the blogosphere and funny photos brilliantly worked up by Polo and the irrepressible Batjay, showing himself in a variety of poses. And did I tell you that I really find Gmail amazing? I think we are able to maximize the capabilities of this service because we don't just send emails, we have turned it into a ...
