Personal Finance on the Web

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 on

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 pa

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

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

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 tw

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 lik

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

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'

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. Arrr

Blue Eagles Shelling!

Is it just me, or did the Ateneo Blue Eagles completely suck in the last two games of the 2006 UAAP championships? Forget about my earlier post on them. The UST Tigers deserved this championship more than anyone. JC "The Choker" Intal really showed how fluster

Web 2.0 Logo Redesign: Philippine Corporate Logos

I had some fun this afternoon playing around with famous Filipino brands in Photoshop. Here's what I ended up with: Jollibee: BPI: Ayala Corporation: Globe Telecom: Smart: Any brands you want redone? Disclaimer: These logos are not the official logos of the af
