2011 New Year’s Resolution: 11 Wishes

by on 31. Dec, 2010 in Personal

Recalling my 2010 resolution, I think I accomplished all those goals it listed as per suggested by Men’s Health. They were carefully written to result in achievable outputs. Proud ego here.

Now that the year of the metal rabbit draws near, I don’t think I can manage to set a lot of quality goals much better than last year’s because I’m always stressed. Thesis, love life, job hunting, project management — all these combined make me want to become superman. However, these won’t stop me from making wishes, setting simple goals that’d be my guide as a better person or so.

1. I wish to gain more weight, and keep myself from illnesses. Actually, while I’m writing this, I don’t feel well. I have colds and high fever. This year, I’ve been catching illnesses and been always attacked by asthma. Health is important, so I wish to be more healthy.

2. I wish to graduate this April 2011. Huling buga. (more…)

PlayStation Move for Christmas

by on 22. Dec, 2010 in Money Wash, Reviews

Merry Christmas, Pinoy Bloggers! This post will be short as I just want to share an early Christmas gift, the Sony PlayStation Move.

For the holidays, Move is the perfect gift, so I recommend it to all who are giving gifts to consider this gadget for your loved ones who own a PS3 system.


Unlike the Wii, the Sony’s motion-sensing controller is very sleek and comfortable to grip on. It uses the PlayStation Eye and Bluetooth 2.0 to track the wand’s motion and orientation, respectively. According to Sony, and obviously, Move’s output is a lot more accurate than any other. (more…)

KFC’s Double Down is Always Sold Out

by on 21. Nov, 2010 in Reviews

The popularity of a chicken-pounded cheese-and-bacon meal moved my curiosity to give it a try. My friends told me that it’s not always available so I better search for it religiously. I found myself literally hunting for KFC’s Double down in Manila and Quezon City, and guess what: I would always see the menu saying “SOLD OUT!”

The first branch I planned to buy it from was in UP Ayala Technohub. I arrived there at eight in the evening, and the cashier told me that it was sold out at six. I just thought it was not my lucky hunting day, so I returned the next morning at 11. I asked the lady over the counter about the availability of Double Down, and she exclaimed it was sold out at 9 in the morning. The hell!

The next time I tried was when I, together with my classmates, was in school in an afternoon. We called KFC Delivery and ordered for the rare chicken. To our disappointment, the operator told us that it was already sold out. However, when we said that we would order 10 Double Downs, she abruptly said, “Ay sir, meron na po pala, kadadating lang, Haha!”

What does this mean? Simply, the 540-calorie product is on its test stage in the Philippines, as well as in other countries like Canada.




At long last, (more…)

Bacolod-Iloilo Bum

by on 01. Nov, 2010 in Experience, Travel

Seeking for time to rest was hard for me in the past semester. By far, it was the most arduous term. Thesis and all other major terminal courses would always knock on my door before I do night rituals and hit the sack. Completing my group’s thesis proposal was a strenuous habitual activity, while that electronics course made my life suffer.

Other than academics, there is also a couple of events that my team and I have been preparing for — Engineering Week’s Dulaang Eng’g in December and the annual Jobfair early next year. Sounds cool, right?

However, to an extent, I was keeping my self from becoming stoic. I was yearning for rest. Actually, it wasn’t rest at all. It was bum. So, the greatest solution to my wishful thinking was to spend time to unwind in another place far from Metro Manila. Thanks to my family, mom and dad gave me the chance to go to Bacolod and Iloilo cities.


San Sebastian Cathedral, Bacolod City

There was not much difference in the environment if Bacolod and Iloilo were compared to Angeles. The common Filipino setting can be discerned easily — a cathedral, a wet market, a plaza, an SM mall (yes, I officially add it to the Pinoy setting), (more…)

Hello MacBook Pro!

by on 28. Aug, 2010 in Brainbuster, Money Wash, Reviews

The outside noise woke me up grunting this morning. My body twitched as it still wanted to lay down, but I realized that I had something to do – something that will feed my techie apetite. I’m going to buy a MacBook Pro today!

The MacBook Pro unibody is my dream device. Every time I pass by authorized Apple resellers and distros, I always try the demo unit showcased with the iMac and Mac Pro.

No, I wasn’t envy or jealous of other people who own a Mac. I fell in love with it because of its outstanding industrial design, simplicity, security, and rarity. Also, aside from the hardware feel, I considered its ability to boot Windows with BootCamp. Yes, still I can’t let go Windows because of the nature of my work, centered in Engineering. As for the OS X Snow Leopard, no one can’t deny how hot it looks.


Simply put: Gorgeous

I want to thank Sir Charlie of Digital Hub/Walker/Life for giving me a discount, as any (more…)
