Facebook vs. Google in internet mafia wars?

May 13, 2011 ·

Not everything you read in the newspapers is true. Having worked in the industry myself, I know for a fact that stories are sometimes "planted" to lobby for something, influence public opinion or favor a high-spending advertiser. And now it seems Facebook has been caught with its pants down when it was identified as the one "feeding" anti-Google stories to the media. Worse, Facebook has admitted to the deed, citing Google's infringement of Facebook data and privacy concerns in the social networking tool called Social Circle which Google is implementing. Observers ... Continue Reading...

Nokia C3: if you’re hopelessly devoted to Facebook

July 31, 2010 ·

Unveiled today: the must-have Nokia C3 phone for the social networking junkie, at a very affordable price of P7,295. It's the cheapest Nokia QWERTY phone to date and comes in metallic colors like slate gray and white. Being a female, however, I choose hot pink! :D If you're hopelessly hooked to Twitter and Facebook, you'd love the fact that the Nokia C3 gives you one-click connection. You'd be able to easily view live feeds from your friends, update your status and even make comments. The only thing you can't do in this baby is Facebook chat but instant messaging ...

How to ride a taxi safely in Manila

January 22, 2010 ·

One good reason to get a car of your own to drive in Manila, no matter what a rickety, old second-hand it is: it' actually safer to drive on your own in the city's crazy streets than depend on public transportation. My own arguments against riding public transport are these - if you're riding a taxi: you never know the driver's temperament or if their meters are reliable. Some smell of LPG gas (because, well, they're using it) and it's really crazy hailing taxis during rush hours, the holiday season and when it rains. As for FXs buses and jeepneys, I get ...

Help Haiti quake victims thru the power of technology

January 14, 2010 ·

Through the powers of technology, the world is witnessing the unfolding drama that is the aftermath of the powerful Intensity 7 earthquake that hit the Caribbean nation of Haiti. Hundreds of thousands are believed to be still missing and trapped within the shattered buildings. For those of us in the Philippines, the quake in Haiti has some parallels, if you count the tragic July 1990 earthquake (magnitude 7.7) and more recently, Typhoon Ondoy. Three Filipino members of the UN peacekeeping contingent remain unaccounted for in the Haiti tragedy. But unlike the 1991 ... Continue Reading...

Google Nexus One superphone

January 6, 2010 ·

That's right. One of my 2010 New Year's resolutions is to buy a new mobile phone, after having decided that the last Christmas season was a bad time to buy one (prices were high and thefts were on the rise). Unknown to friends, am only using a basic phone and have two other high-tech phones just hidden in the drawer, tee hee. The plan is to give the basic phone to my son (it's time he has one since he's on the verge of high school) while am gonna trade in the two others for a single phone with good video capability. Any suggestions out there? Anyway, mobile phone ... Continue Reading...

Sometimes I miss the cuisine of Singapore and Mala Sometimes I miss the cuisine of Singapore and Malaysia. Am glad there are restaurants in the city whenever I get intense #Asianfood cravings. Roti Shop in Rockwell is one of them #notsponsored.

Over the weekend, I convinced my friend Maricel to try the cendol (iced dessert similar to halo-halo) and the #roti paratha with curry sauce. And of course, who doesn't love Hainanese chicken rice and white coffee? 💯💕😋

#travelmemories🌍✈️ If there's a member of #travelmemories🌍✈️ 

If there's a member of my family who stayed the most time indoors during this #lockdown, it's my youngest Lucia. It's good she hasn't complained at all. When talking to her, am glad she only has the nicest recollection of our last trip a year ago in Taiwan. We went ahead with our flight even though there was already fear of the virus then.

My daughter is a picky eater, but I noticed when traveling, she is more adventurous with food. We  always have fun going through our Taiwan photo album and recalling the nice hostel we stayed in, the perfectly crunchy fried chicken and all those #memories. It certainly helps tide me through the sadness of the present

I swear I normally don't wear mini skirts (especially at this age 😃). But I guess it's true that people do things they don't usually do.... when #traveling ✈️🏯⛩️ We have to look special for our #ootd

P.S. I get sentimental looking at my #travel photos **sniff

We all know that we should practice proper hand hy We all know that we should practice proper hand hygiene to avoid getting sick. I have been doing this whenever I go out for errands. Thankfully, I have been healthy and not sick for a single day.  This only means that we really need to make handwashing a part of our lifestyle in the new normal, along with constant disinfection, wearing face masks and face shields and following social distancing protocols in common public areas.

Am glad there is a brand like Green Cross with a complete line of products to keep bacteria and viruses away. I always have #CleanHandsWithGreenCross anywhere I go. It's a good thing they have a handy alcohol and hand sanitizer which I always keep in my bag. And the whole family uses Green Cross Germ-Protection Soap which not only kills 99.9% of germs but also smells so good!

#life update: two of my kids are now living indepe #life update: two of my kids are now living independently and as a result of a more compact family, we no longer depend on a maid. This is a dedication post to my oldest daughter Dionne for being the rock I can count on. She's taking on more responsibilities these days with nary a complaint. I make sure I treat her once a week like ordering something online or buying her favorite cake. This Sunday found us having a mini-picnic outside eating the Acqua Pazza I cooked (poached fish in wine) and drinking Welch's Sparkling Rose. Not as fancy as fine dining, but it's always the little things that matter 💗💜🍇🍒🍹🥤

The ongoing pandemic has made moms like me more me The ongoing pandemic has made moms like me more meticulous about our family's health and hygiene. Am not the OC type but even a non-OC like me resolved to be careful and take extra precautions 😯😄

Zonrox products can kill the COVID-19 virus that's why I made sure we stocked on their products. I have been using my newest supermarket discovery, Zonrox Multi Clean in disinfecting high-touch surfaces. I love its fresh, long-lasting scent! 💗

Then I have my usuals, Zonrox Bleach Original and Zonrox Colorsafe to make our #laundry super clean and disinfected! These are staple items in my pantry which I can't live without!

We #DisinfectWithZonrox because an ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. Let’s remember to always show our MALASAKIT to others because #TheVirusEndsWithUs!

Happy Year of the Ox to all my family, friends and business contacts 😊㊙️ Sharing this photo of the entrance to Manila's Chinatown. Existing since the 1500s, did you know this is the oldest #Chinatown in the world? It's always a delight to visit because of the #delicious food and bargain shopping finds 🧡 #Binondo #Ongpin #Manila #sinopinas #asia #philippines #culturetrip
My son, my unico hijo, finally graduated from coll My son, my unico hijo, finally graduated from college (he was delayed by a year). You can just imagine how happy and relieved I was. For his birthday today, I slaved away in the kitchen to serve #homemade treats to the son and his friends. The highlight was the Aussie rib eye steak ordered from @sebastiansbutcherbox . I served it in  two ways - with marbled potatoes and over alfredo pasta. I thought I overcooked the meat  but it still turned out amazingly flavorful and tender. It made everyone's day definitely! 🥩♨️💯

Moms like me have two main priorities right now: e Moms like me have two main priorities right now: ensuring the health of our family and saving up for the "uncertain" future. Personally,  am always on the lookout for products that bring the most value for money, especially when it comes to grocery shopping. 

It's a good thing I discovered the new Champion by Energen. It's only 8 pesos per 35g pack and is fortified with essential vitamins, iodine, folic acid and calcium. It also has egg, which is a good source of protein.

My youngest Lucia loves its #delicious taste but as an adult, I dig it too because it tastes exactly like #hotchocolate 🍩🍫🥤🧡💯

Do you appreciate being in your own country? I do. Do you appreciate being in your own country? I do. I love being in a tropical country where I don't have to work my arse off to pay high taxes. I do work so hard now to earn good money so I can afford state-of-the-art health insurance  and not  depend on a measly state pension.

Call me stupid for staying in good old #Pilipinas 🇵🇭💗However, migrating just to be an "ordinary worker" somewhere else may no longer be applicable in this borderless world. Am not saying NO to moving in the future, but it should be a place where I can fall in love with the culture, has cheap real estate and won't kill me with taxes left and right. Other countries in the #world are simply overrated 🌎✈️
