Managing my finances or investing in stocks are things that I haven’t had the time or guts to delve into. Now that I think about it, now might be a good time for me to explore that idea. It’s been well, years, since I seriously touched a calculator. Yes, no one could not have guessed… Continue reading Personal Finance on the Web

Business Card for the Food Enthusiast in Me
This afternoon, I was thinking of a cool way to compose a business card suited for the up and coming Davao Food Appreciation Tour. How do I connect it to food without looking desperate? Add some “bite” to it, that’s what! With some folder cardboard stock, a pair of craft scissors this is what I… Continue reading Business Card for the Food Enthusiast in Me
Remembering 9/11
[photopress:alleba_sept_11_3.gif,full,centered] Can’t believe it’s been 6 years. I can still recall quite vividly the time my friend was buzzing and begging frantically on our apartment intercom to let her in. I had no idea what was going on until I walked out on our street on 6th Avenue and saw the twin towers completely gone.… Continue reading Remembering 9/11
5 Things
Another meme! Fellow blogger Kim Castillo tagged me for this one and asked, “What are five revealing things about you?”. Since I don’t really have a personal blog, I’m going to do this here and try to keep it related to our theme. 1. I don’t handle stress very well. Right now, I’m having some… Continue reading 5 Things
Google Shirt
Got a nice little present from Dennis Agulo a few days ago. It’s a Google shirt!! He won it at the Women in Web talk here in Davao courtesy of Google’s Aileen Apolo. I wore it all day today although it was kind of big. Pics after the jump.
The Joys of Dial-Up
It’s probably karma. The Wifi pirate that I am, it’s inevitable that this should happen. Once again, my ever-unreliable PLDT MyDSL decided not to cooperate anymore. My whole neighborhood’s affected, and PLDT doesn’t know when it’ll be back up. This happened two days ago too.
Shoutouts
Post-Digg kudos are in order: Angelo Racoma – For telling me what to do before things went out of hand and when they did get out of hand! Abe Olandres – For exhausting every option possible to help me out. You da man! RJ Palabasan – For allowing me to rant like there was no… Continue reading Shoutouts
Bryanboy, Tsk tsk tsk.
I’m not a practicing Catholic. I don’t go to church except when I’m forced to or when it’s Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. So really, there’s no place for me to give a righteous reaction to the current media/Internet circus surrounding Bryanboy. He’s getting exactly what he craves for: attention. And boy did he… Continue reading Bryanboy, Tsk tsk tsk.
SEO Philippines’ BeerCon 2006
Finally, I got to meet Marc and Abe in person at Jill’s (@ the Fort) where SEO Philippines’ first Beercon was held. It was perfect timing. I got home from Thailand that day October 28, refreshed and renewed after a tedious work schedule and a cold that wouldn’t go away (I’m better now). What a… Continue reading SEO Philippines’ BeerCon 2006
Manila Update
Yep, I’m in Manila again. I wrote about WiFi here not being free in most places here and that is still the case. However, just like back in Davao City, I am blogging through someone else’s WiFi. Thanks, whoever you are. Yes, you can call me a WiFi pirate. Arrrr. Actually, I’m here because I’m… Continue reading Manila Update
