Sarap to the bones! »

What is it that makes Max’s Fried Chicken so yummy? I had to do a quick errand at SM Makati today during my lunch break. Lucky for me there’s a Max’s at the 2nd floor right before you hit Kultura. I ordered my staple 1/2 spring chicken and crabmeat fried rice to share. Yumm!!!!! Good [...]

Ubuntu Netbook Remix on the Acer Aspire One A150 »

I have this pet project to triple boot my Acer Aspire One A150.  When I first bought this netbook, it had Windows XP Home installed.   One of the things I like most about it, above the fact that it’s small and light, is that it boots up very quickly.   With XP already installed, the next [...]

Easeus Partition Master Home Edition – Free »

If you’re looking for a simple partition manager, consider Easeus Partition Master. I was looking for something very easy to use, simple to install, and preferably free.  See, I’m working on my multi-boot project for my Acer Aspire One, and I desperately need to resize my partitions.  The ones recommended by the guides I’ve researched [...]

The Cafe »

This is a small restaurant along Pasay Road, near the corner of Edades St. (the SanLo side of Paseo de Roxas).  For those of you familiar with the area, it used to be a larger dining establishment under the name Joni’s.  As you know, Joni’s closed down years ago.  Then, I think around 3 years [...]

The Point-and-Shoot Waterproof Camera that Beats All… »

I’ve been deliberating on my next gadget purchase … a point and shoot camera … something small enough to put in my pocket (or bag!) that would shoot a decent photo.  The thing is, when I started thinking about what features I want in this camera … plus, that I live in the Tropics, … [...]

Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas “Take Me To The Philippines” »

Got this link from a friend.  It’s a wonderful tourism video … kinda hip and funky!  Thanks to apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas for doing this.  It’s so nice to see people proud of their roots.  And, especially at a time like this, you remember that no matter where in the world you may [...]
