I was chatting with LT while she was at work and at one point, I asked if she was still able to do any work while I’m throwing IMs at her. Surprised me that she replied in the affirmative. Wow, these days, I can’t imagine being able to do that.
Like most “skills”, multi-tasking gets rusty [...]

The Amstetten Monster
This is someone I condemn in the strongest possible terms. Even that statement sounds banal and pathetic to me. (Aba, eh kung pwede lang magpakawala ng mga walang patumanggang mura eh sinulat ko na!)
Ok, mom, if you’re reading this, I advise you not to. If you proceed…walang sisihan ha?
He deserves to be put in jail, alone, [...]

Judge Scalia in 60 Minutes
It’s very rare that I spend more than 10 minutes watching an individual (whether previously known to me or not) being interviewed on TV. Let alone really listen, and react actively. To a Republican pa ha?! I guess, I’ve never had the chance to listen to the Hon Antonin Scalia talk before. I found myself [...]

The Onion
When Mad magazine meets the news…you get The Onion. I swear this will have you laughing in no time. Headlines pa lang, wala ka nang laban. Both the online and print editions are equally good. B and I discovered this while riding a bus on the way home. There it was on an [...]

Climate Change
Great. Just when we’ve stored our sweaters and long-sleeved shirts away, they announce a cold spell with possible snow showers on Monday. Snow? In late April?? What the #@&>*?!!!!

Spring
Ah, spring…it’s about time…pretty tired of wearing thick coats and layers all the time. We are finally able to leave our windows open all day! Yehey! It’s like California weather, only, in Chicago baby! Maganda nga ngayon eh, last year, it was just winter…then bam! Summer. At least ngayon may transition… So now, ilalabas na sa pagkaka-pack ang [...]

Hullo, I’m a Mac…
I can’t remember when I first started to like Mac. Definitely, nagtatrabaho pa ako sa Maynila nun. I first saw an iMac in the movies. Then, one of my bosses – having heard that I do some minor PC repairs around the office – asked that I come round to his house after work and [...]

Digitalization
**UPDATE**
I applied for a coupon for a digital converter. Yey! Wonder if it will make any difference to the TV signal we get now via rabbit ears? Sana luminaw kahit pano…
Wala pa ngang trabaho eh, pinapaalalahanan ka na naman palagi sa TV na ilang buwan na lang mapapagastos ka na uli. ‘Nyemas. By Feb 2009, [...]

Domestic
At least what has been a nagging pain in this country’s side, is finally thrust into the public’s consciousness. I’ve only ever ridden domestic flights a handful of times but the experience left much to be desired – imagine being delayed for 2 hours and missing your connecting international flight!!! I hope the FAA does [...]
