Please update your bookmarks with my new url:
Fritzified.comIt may not be the cleanest and most reader-friendly of themes but I hope I could interest you with its workmanship
( theme from the talented Mr. Milo ). I got the theme template free but did some edits here and there so I could identify with the total look and feel of the site.
If you could, please message me if you find some bugs in the script of the site. I've been working on this the whole weekend and some time the week past.
For a sort of explanation on the url label, please read the "About" page in my new site.
Things to do this year: get own domain
[check!]
O2 Cocoon Phone coming soon
Contrary to its futuristic looks, the O2 Cocoon phone is coming our way, and hopefully soon. Visit the O2 Cocoon site and see this eye-candy in motion.
May I please palpitate and pass out now? Thanks.

Neil Gaiman's Interworld
Bought Interworld from from A Different Kind Of Bookstore about two weeks ago together with M is for Magic (1st ed) and the Watchmen TPB (18th ed).
A week later, I saw the same book displayed at Filbar's.
Look closely. See the price tags? Note the difference. If that isn't overpricing, I don't know what is! I'm never buying from Filbar's again. Ever.
Years ago, I bought my very first comicbooks from Filbar's in Iloilo. I got two from a stack over the "on sale" section. I had Black Orchid #1 and Sandman #47 (of the Brief Lives story arc). There was a tiny tear off the cover of Black Orchid and Sandman's was folded in places. I loved those first comic books to bits and I still have them to this very day.
I'm sorry for a bit of nostalgia there. Anyway, if you want reasonably priced books, never go to Filbar's.

The iPAQ rx4540 review video
Here's a video I cooked up for my gadget review article at Man-Blog.com. To tag the article as a rehash of an old post would be an understatement. I have infused more items on this one to keep it up to date.
Resizing the video this way rendered the fonts unreadable. You may, however, view the huge-sized version at

Thank God for these awesometastic women
Joss Stone is my guilty pleasure. She's soulful, young, beautiful, and talented. There's this one Tuesday night when I was supposed to cook pasta for our monthly departmental lunch meeting at work. I have all ingredients laid on the table and I was vibing for some musical inspiration. Without even thinking, I fetched the TV remote and landed on Princess Diana's birthday celebration as I was channel surfing. After a few others played, the presenter cued in Joss Stone for her rendition of Queen's Under Pressure. It blew me away! I found myself grooving while my eyes are transfixed at the TV screen. I was even waving the chef's knife in my hand like I was one with the crowd in London. She effortlessly breathes emotion in her music while commanding the huge stage with her bare-foot presence like a nymph or a muse straight from Greek mythology. I found the song's intense moments to be the part where she goes "Why can't we give love..." and "just one more chance..." Watch the footage below and you be the judge.
Another thing I find myself doing more and more each passing month is watch Music Station on
Animax. Last Friday, they had a beautiful lady named Stephanie as guest. She's pretty. She looks like a ramp or commercial model. No, she looks like someone a country would send to bloody Miss Universe or some other intergalactic beauty contest. And she has a long pair of nicely shaped legs. The hosts boast that she has a very superior vocal range capable of doing 5-octaves worth of melody. Bah, big deal, I said. When she sang, though, she does ridiculously high pitched tunes without even contorting her face to show signs of effort! I mean, WOW, freaky! Again, indulge me by watching the video footage below.
One other thing I still do is watch
MTV. Not Mxy. The original MTV. I was chilling last night, waiting for Sandman to come and visit, when they aired this music video of
The Editors in their SubTerraNean segment. You know how artsy music videos could be. Been that way since like eternally. Some producers put in a lot of work to come up with a unique concept. This one, entitled "Smokers Outside The Hospital Door," is like a mini-movie. Wait for the moment when the girl gets chased by the coastguard while she's rowing a wooden and see what she'll do. Damn, I've been dreaming of doing that for as long as I can remember!
Awesome.

I'm thinking of brewing something
And it ain't coffee.
I just bought a domain name. My very own, fancy, shit-laced, shiny bling-of-a url. Trouble is, I don't know that much about domains and I don't know anything about DNS and nameservers and code tweaking so it will take a LOT of reading and research to pull this new idea off. I want to do this right the first time.
For so long, that's two years of writing stuff, I never had a central theme for my works. Topics spew forth from wherever and I see it as a pile of Lego pieces from 20 different Lego sets, like a bag full of assorted and unmatched socks.
The other Saturday, at Peter's, I heard him say something that triggered an interest in me. Something worth pursuing. A thing that I'm not alien to but that has much potential should it be given focus.
The new url will be my brand. It will mark everything I touch. The idea plays well inside my head but it will take away more of my time to take it to the level I have set for it. Hard as it is, I will try to take so as far as it would go.
I now have the brand. All it's lacking is the facade to face the public with.
