Treat Time

Yesterday got me and the family at SM North the whole day. It was when I woke up that my wife told me of the plan to spend the day there. We geared up and after spending nearly 2 hours in the busy traffic along the way, we got there.
And it was really busy there [...]

Still Going

Just when I thought my Samsung U600 was already a goner, it turned out that the phone still had a few miles to go.
As I’m so accustomed to do, I did a few web searches and found out similar problems encountered by other users. It turned out it was quite frequent after all. Some happened [...]

The Long Walk Home (3 of 3)

Indeed the immediate area near our place was pitch black with occasional candles lit. What was surprising was the activeness of a lot of people past that time of the night. Something definitely wasn’t right. And I’m not yet talking of the knee-length water on the streets yet.
Why did things have to be hard for [...]

The Long Walk Home (2 of 3)

If memory serves me right, it was before 7 in the evening when I made my push to Monumento. Yes it was quite early but the terrible weather made it look discouraging to take the option. I was getting more and more worried. The stillness of traffic along with the gusts of the wind and [...]

The Long Walk Home (1 of 3)

I guess the price I have to pay for aiming a notch higher career-wise would be abandoning writing here for most of the time I’m doing post-grad studies. Countless events and issues passed yet my busy everydays kept me from revisiting my turf in cyberspace. That in spite of promising myself (at least twice if [...]

Oh Brother

I find it funny that, in some ways, life seems to mimic the blogging episode. That is, the absurdities you encounter in either bad apple is enough to get you hammering down on the odd one out. I’m talking about my recent difficulty in getting my printer to work yesterday and it definitely got me [...]

A Hiatus Hence

A streak of blanks after a string of posts last month. I hardly even recognize my drafts anymore.
Seriously that was how much (and long) rest I needed to recharge. It felt relieving to just bum around with computer games after work when the last time I freely indulged myself like this was during the summer.
Then [...]

On Best Practices

The previous semester had me pouring a good deal of time and more than a pound of neurons into an ethics portfolio as part of the requirements for a class in computer ethics. It was then when blogging and my internet journeyman experience came in handy. I was surely thankful all those times and effort [...]

Footnotes to an Aftermath

So this is the silver lining for me this year.
I just finished the semester at school yesterday after passing my answer sheets for the last exam yesterday. Far more than ending just another episode in the pursuit of that elusive degree on postgraduate studies, I could now sleep for 8 hours like an ordinary person. [...]

Just a Readability Check

No this is not about a programming language criterion.
I found the Blog Readability Test over leelock’s blog worthwhile. Guess I really need the reprieve from the Sisyphean routine I’ve subjected myself to. After all I found it curious as to how I changed over the years in terms of writing. So I went there and [...]
