This is my first Lego set. I got this from my father while he was working in Taiwan 14 years ago.
I was bored at the office this afternoon and while browsing the net, I found this page lugnet.com. It contains a list of all lego elements and all the themed sets that were released. I was amazed to know that all lego bricks since they were first manufactured (more than 50 years ago) are compatible...

6 hours
The island town of Anda, Pangasinan is a 6 hour drive north of Manila. It was my first time to go to the western parts of Pangasinan. After enduring the heat inside an van for hours with my officemates, we finally got to see the white sands of Tondol.
I was told that we were going to Bolinao so I searched the net for info and based from what I have read, I was expecting to see a rocky beach and...

Magnitude 6.1!
We are at the 27th floor when the earthquake started just minutes ago. Objects hanging on the wall were swinging.
Update: People at the Shell office in Makati were advised to exit the building.

Factor Friday #2
I saw this on Facebook. It seems that there is a problem with this equation.
It says “girls need time AND money”.
So the equation must be GIRLS = TIME + MONEY.
And if TIME = MONEY, then GIRLS = MONEY + MONEY or GIRLS = 2 x MONEY
Since Money = Root of all Evil
Girls are twice the root of all evil. :)

can't develop for 7 without 7
Yesterday, Microsoft announced that the development tools for the Windows Phone 7 are free and can now be downloaded here. I was excited for this since the development platform will be Visual Studio 2010 and the framework will rely heavily on Silverlight.
I forgot to read the requirements needed for the installation of the SDK when I downloaded it. You’ll need Vista or Windows 7 (except...

after 7 years....
I had a chat with a long lost friend who I last met 7 years ago. Our conversation started well and then she asked me, “San ka graduate?“ I answered immediately saying I came from this college. Then a follow up question came… ” ‘di ka nahirapan maghanap ng work?” - to which I proudly boastfully replied: “actually my first day [at work] was the first monday...

It’s already past midnight and still at the office. I need to finish my pending tasks but can’t concentrate on my work. Need some sleep but the caffeine from the french vanilla coffee I just had starts to take effect.

7!
I’m a gadget freak. I’ve been crazy about the iPhone when it first came out. And now I’m drooling for a Google Nexus One. Unfortunately I don’t have the means to get the latest tech devices to brag and blog about.
The company I work for was a pioneer in mobile app development. We specialize in industry apps running on smartphones. As mobile developers, we are able to...

Flying this distance south of Manila will take you to Davao City.
It’s my first time to travel by plane and it’s my first trip out of Luzon. I really didn;t have the time to visit the “must see” places in Davao. I checked in at MyHotel in downtown Davao near the City Hall just before midnight. I’ve got a promo rate of 800 Pesos for a standard single bed room. The...

The web was abuzz with speculations on what Steve Jobs will unveil. There has been this much hype about a tablet that Apple will launch. I was excited and the first thing I have done this morning upon arriving at the office this morning was to search the net for news about this highly anticipated “tablet”.
Apple calls it a magical and revolutionary device. Yet I was...

3D!
It’s our first time to watch a 3D film. We’ve been eagerly anticipating to watch this movie months before its opening. We went to Greenbelt 3 on its opening week but seats are already full. Our busy scheds didn’t allow us to set another viewing date.
We had plans to watch it at SM Clark instead but thank God for that since Greenbelt Cinemas are better. And finally, on its last...
