Bye-bye ASUS Eee, Hello ASTONE
Since January and until yesterday I had been using the ASUS Eee mini-laptop as my work horse computer.
I have been a satisfied user. There have been “It should have been better if…” and “I wish I am using a full-sized laptop” moments but in general the ASUS Eee has satisfactorily delivered [...]
THIS MORNING I was reading this trivia book my ex-girlfriend and I serendipitously found at Toys R Us section of Robinson’s Department Store in WalterMart, Makati.
I found some really mind boggling trivial information from this cheap trivia book (What in the World?, Php49.00). I’ve actually came across these same information several times in the past already, [...]
As a tiny step forward in my goal of joining and completing a triathlon on or before my 40th birthday I did my first serious research on the subject a few weeks ago.
There are, I learned, three basic types of triathlon:
IRONMAN Series. This is the mother of all triathlons, at least it is in the [...]
It has been approximately a month since I got initiated into Golf. I have since decided to take the game seriously and hired the services of a Pro to coach me on the basic skills of golfing.
My golf vocabulary has also quite grown considerably, thanks to the Internet (and to my assistant, Nerie Jimenez, who [...]
IN ABOUT September 2007, there appeared a feature article on the Infotech section of a leading broadsheet which really caught my attention. I can’t recall exactly now if it was the Philippine Daily Inquirer or The Philippine Star. It has to be one of them.
The feature story talked about a soon-to-be-released product by computer maker [...]
I HAD LUNCH DATE with my ex-girlfriend yesterday. It was not a planned date – I convinced her to “work at home” with me as I was finishing an important and urgent task to submit to my boss – but a bona fide date just the same, something we have not done for quite some [...]
I am still quite obsessed with the idea of joining, and completing, a Triathlon someday soon.
It has been a life objective, albeit one that has a frequently moving target date. I once set the goal of completing my first Triathlon before I reach the age of 35. I am now little over 35.
My newly adjusted [...]
IF YOU EVER visit Puerto Princesa in Palawan make sure to try Badjao Seafront. It is a restaurant along the shoreline, within five to fifteen minutes from any point in downtown Puerto Princesa City, built a few meters into the sea past a thin strip of mangroves.
The view is spectacular and the ambiance is perfect [...]
I HAVE A VERY SIMPLE RULE when it comes to exotic food, or for any type of food for that matter: I can try anything at least once, for as long as it is really food, at least by local standards.
So far this rule has worked for me.
The most recent opportunity to test this rule [...]
On April 13, 2008, I had the rare opportunity to visit one of the best natural wonders of the Philippines – the Underground River in Palawan.
Together with the entire management team of Delbros Waterfront Leasing Co., Inc. (DELWATER), I visited the world-renowned Palawan Subterranean River in Sitio Sabang, some two to three hours drive [...]
I found a back issue of Reader’s Digest this morning. It is the February 2008 issue with the banner story entitled “Love Struck!”
Within five minutes of browsing through its pages I managed to get a number of really good take aways:
From a side bar on the article, “Secrets of Success, How to be a millionaire” [...]
The thrill of conquering my first mountain is still very much fresh in my mind. And in my aching joints and muscles, too. It was exactly a month from today when I conquered Mt. Batulao in Batangas.
But I can’t dwell on the memories of Mt. Batulao anymore. After all, just 2 days ago, less [...]
