An out-of-town trip. A recently discovered hole-in-the-wall. A would-be pastime. A short silly talk. An interesting brew.

Leftovers

Posted: January 21st, 2010 | Blend: Buddies, Family, Hum | No Comments »

I found this piece of writing from a technical blogger while searching for a Robohelp workaround. Interestingly, the article is not at all technical. It talks about reconstructing a relationship, particularly details accompanying it (which reminds me of the funny priest at my cousin’s wedding last month). Some of you might have gotten this story in a form of an email spam, or seen it from Facebook or other blogs. In that case, please ignore the rest of this entry. But for those of you who have not read or heard about it yet, I am encouraging you to take some time (around six minutes if you’re a fast reader) to absorb its essence.

Rock-Solid Backbone

Wrap up my 2009 Currently-Reading and To-Read countersthen compile new ones.
Spend time with my parents as much as I can— because holidays seem so short and everyone’s getting older.
Back to watching at least two films of any kind each week— since my viewing history has been pretty limited to Hollywood flick downloads, Ellen, Glee, TMZ, and other ETC/Jack TV series.
Revisit my sketchpad— and my charcoal set.
Wakeboard— a one-year overdue goal. Shame on me.
Be more productive like clockwork in my cube— not necessarily mean having to stay for grueling hours but more of plotting tasks sensibly and in good time.
Spend smart— it’s not just all about saving hard.
Stay healthy without being self-conscious— moderate what we eat, jog on a regular basis, take thorough medical checkup earnestly.
Execute some crazy plans— slightly ambitious, but who knows.

Meanwhile

Posted: December 27th, 2009 | Blend: Buddies, Family, Hum | No Comments »

I’m crazy about holidays. It always speaks of family, and opens a possibility of seeing faces that I cannot afford to see all the time. This holiday season is another high point, except for the fact that I haven’t been spending it with my buddy, which, by the way, is a record breaker. A tough thirteen days, can’t imagine.

Cribs Episode with Santa Claus

Posted: December 10th, 2009 | Blend: Hum, Workplace | No Comments »

Last time, I shared with you the Greynautz animation by Pictoys. This time, and again in the spirit of Christmas, I’d like to introduce to you the hiphop Santa from “the real North Pole, if you know what I mean”. But, but, but— parental guidance is so advised.

Special Delivery

From North Pole My buddy and I are almost done with the Christmas shopping, a.k.a. gifts to the “inaanak” and the much younger generation of our families. Ha! We would no longer be victims of very picky cab drivers, stretched -out lines in mall counters and taxi bays, and most of all, the punishing traffic mess that holidays usually bring.

Swan’s Beastie Boys

Posted: November 23rd, 2009 | Blend: Buddies, Screen | 2 Comments »

I’ve had a bunch of pending movie and book reviews in our cupboards. And they would probably stay there until December. Anyway, I’d start with the most recent weekender picture that we had last week at Greenbelt 3 Cinema 2 (which audio system we promote ). But before I begin, I’d like to warn you that this entry contains SPOILERS.
