Reading Taxi Meters

As a regular cab rider, I thought that I had mastered the art of estimating the taxi fare from point A to point B. I have managed to estimate a ceiling price for a certain destination. To be more accurate, I tried scouring the net for tutorials or how to or what nots, but I […]

While listening to the local radio on my way home, I heard that Nokia was officially recalling batteries. My dad own two Nokia phones, so I was listening to the reporter just to know how we can find out if our phones’ batteries have to be replaced. Good thing Nokia has a site that make […]

As part of my problogging, I have been sent a few sponsors that have different tastes. This one posts about celebrity tattoos *PG* and I *do not* agree with the idea of featuring half clad celebrities. One could have simply posted the design, sans the individual, like the previous sponsor.
In some of my previous posts, […]

The news has been littered with celebrities being jailed and DUI for the past few weeks. You got Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Nicole Ritchie, and yep Britney’s in the news again. One would think it would end with Paris’ jail stint, but it seems to have become a bandwagon. Do they give out ‘I Went […]

Point is, in college, we used to have so many more things to do than now, but we still managed to scrape things together and […]

I was watching a few shows last Sunday night and while flipping though channels, there was one show that simply did not seem well thought through and was simply trying a mash up between the superhero hype and the reality shows. It had Stan Lee of Marvel Comics as the ‘judge’ and its title is/was […]

Okay, just found out after saving a draft that it didn’t really save! After a half hour of laboring away, my post is gone. Now I’ve lost the momentum for the post. I really have to install that blogging software here on my own PC, I’ve tried it on another PC and it posted my […]

Got my grades yesterday via snail mail. Boy, did that snail get lost or something. Those were grades from my first semester, subjects I have completed over half a year ago. Did second semester already and will be enrolling for my second year.
I didn’t notice if there was a postal mark on the paper. Yes, […]
