On January 27, 2010, at Yerba Buena Center, San Francisco, Apple launched its newest creation in the digital world. It’s called the iPad. Yeah, it’s a non-slang for the iPod.
Months ago, Apple gave a clue to what their secret gadget is. It sounded like It’s something too big to fit in your pocket, but too small to fit on your laptop bag, or so.

Personally, my first impression was Woah, is this going to dominate the market of slate PCs? (more…)
There has been a slack time on my blog. Perhaps this is due to my immersion into academic pressure. But then again, as other bachelor bloggers would say, I must pat this blog with a warm towel.
I’ll start off my blog’s new year by sharing my latest graphic design. It’s an advertisement for the event Sining 2010, prearranged by the University of the Philippines Aguman (UP Aguman), one of my organizations in college.
Through the looking glass, I’ll tell more about this creation as a graphic artist and advertisement conceptualizer.
Artist’s Interpretation
Notice the Sining 2010 logo (more…)
Almost every New Year we endure a ritual of making promises to ourselves of things we ought to do and not to do. At the same time, unknowingly, we aspire to be a newly coveted person adored by at least ourselves. However, I know in my case, if I was going to be rated on how well I did in accomplishing last year’s resolution, it wouldn’t be really high. This might be due to my sense of optimism that raises my spirits to bring more challenging and in most cases even unrealistic anticipation. Or did I instead succumb to laziness?

We will assess our mistakes, bad habits, and insecurities, and decide to do better in the coming year. While we all know that New Year’s resolutions are easier to enumerate than to hold onto, it doesn’t limit us to from looking forward to a much better and more fruitful year than the previous one.
2009 was rather a lucky year for me in spite of the calamities (more…)
“Call me when Christmas conquers the air.”
The cold breeze was penetrating my skin when my family and I arrived at the Church to celebrate the Christmas Eve Mass. The Church of San Guillermo serves as a living witness to my childhood in my hometown, and that makes it so special to me, aside from the fact that May Bukas Pa series tapes there. I listened to the homily, closed my eyes, felt the spirit of the yuletide season, breathed, and smiled.
“Merry Christmas. What are you and your family members doing? Oh really, you cook?” (more…)
Science and Prometheus Bound is a paper in partial fulfillment of requirements in Geology 11. This is my reaction to a film entitled Prometheus Bound, which is originally a Ancient Greek tragedy based on the myth of Prometheus, a Titan who was punished by Zeus for giving fire to the human race.
For the past semester, I have been thinking also of what Prometheus Bound presented about – the weakness of science and technology here in the Philippines.
My inquisition started when Dr. Caesar Saloma, Ph.D., the UP Diliman College of Science Dean, during a Physics 10 meeting, talked about the number of Ph.D. graduates in the country as he looked very disappointed. He had a lot of criticisms of the Pinoy technology such as the Jeepney. (more…)
