1.5 Upgrade

Madness Ensues
Please stand by as we try to make sense of the shitload of new files and features in the newest, spankiest, prettiest stable release of Word Press to date :)
EDIT: I’m sticking to the old layout for the time being, but I’ve screwed up the comments thingamajig because I’m *still* using my 1.2 templates. [...]

La Vie En Rose

Listening to LaunchCast roughly eight years later, I happen upon the intro song of the game that defined 1997 for me: Fallout II. Ahh, the good old days.

Holy Week

It’s the Holy Week – Cuaresma or Semana Santa – a week dedicated to the contemplation of the life, death, and rebirth of our Savior Jesus Christ. That’s pretty significant, considering it’s the very basis of the entire Christian faith. And it’s strangely sad that I have nothing relevant to say about it.

Morales by Unanimous Decision, 115-113

You can almost smell the tension weighing down on everybody in the room. The silence is oppressive at times, but it was the last place for youthful irreverence; inane outbursts were not to be tolerated. Not now, 12 rounds into the epic “Coming With Everything” match between Pacquiao and Morales. Not now, with the homegrown [...]

Coming With Everything

One man fights for redemption, the other for respect…but which is which?
Some time ago, I mentioned that Manny Pacquiao may have lost his killer instinct when he came out with “only a draw” against one third of the dreaded Mexican Triumvirate of Barrera, Morales and Marquez. Of course everybody remembers the Barrera fight, where Manny [...]

Shocking!

So that’s why it’s called ‘Bikini Bottom’…

During a press conference in a pineapple under the sea, a tearful SpongeBob described the everyday “anguish” of working – and thriving – with the cartoon industry a [...]

Work in Progress – ApexTerra sketches

I didn’t have anything better to do, and since I’m always on their case for being mountain-climbing hicks (I’m sorry, I couldn’t even climb the Shaw MRT station…), this is my way of giving back.

It’s not finished yet.. maybe just 10% done, but this is fun :)

14 Random Things…

A friend emailed this to me on Valentine’s day (hence the 14), actually, and felt the urge to blog about it just now. Just a peek into what I’m listening to :) I always have my iTunes on shuffle mode; since I don’t have a lot of space on my hard drive, I never save [...]

Sigh of relief

It’s been one hell of a nerve-wracking week, and I’m glad everything got sorted out. A friend of mine was at the wrong place (read: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and the wrong time (read: the day a piece of jewelry was missing) and, being easy targets all foreigners are in that harsh desert land, [...]
