    The Year Just Started and I’m Already Hacking

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    … hacking the Nike+ iPod sports kit that is.

    I wanted to go back running this year as my way of getting back in shape. I got bored hitting the gym last year and eventually just gave up. This time around, I want to complete this 4-week cardio running program set …

    A Perfect Nightcap

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    Earlier, the family had dinner at our favorite LZM restaurant in Silang. Now, we’re here at Figaro Tagaytay to cap off our night.

    “Perfect Nightcap”

    On the other hand, Andi contented herself with iced water. Hehe!

    End of Year Lunch

    Komikeros… Karaokeros

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    Bandang hapon ng Disyembre 22 nagsimulang isa-isahin ni Zara at Ilyn ang makapal ng song list. Nilamutak naman namin ang ispagheti ni Gerry at Pasta de Balbona(mabuhok!) ni Johnny. Pero nung malapit ng dumilim at para bang mga halimaw sa gabi, nakisali na rin si Johnny sa paghawak ng mikropono. …

    Happy Holidays!

    One Rainy Day With Johnny…

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    … Johnny Balbona that is. It was also Gerry’s birthday and while other parties have magicians and parlor games, we had Johnny doing inner dance healing. It was Ed Tadeo’s turn in this video. And Jonas Diego was the one annotating/story-telling-a-lie in the background.

    Once, I Was In Grade Two

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    It was all about our Beatle’s do and blue shorty shorts.

    The Three Stooges. Me, Jerone and Pocholo.

    Grade 2 Section C, Saint Joseph’s Academy(Mandaue City)

    Boys At Holy Communion. That green ribbon pinned on my shirt is for the hunter-photographer(maniniyot) to know whom to photograph.

    Do I Really Need To Run On A Sunday?

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    I mean, seriously. Do I really need to? Give me a break! I was driving through sleet and rain all day yesterday. Okay, no sleet. But try driving behind a whole line of sugar cane trucks along a two-lane national road(where you can’t pass unless you counterflow) and it …

    So I Can Outrun All Dogs Out There

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    My alarm went off at 5:30 am this morning. I thought it was still too dark for me to be running around the cementery so I snuck in a bit more sleep. Yes, my oval is the local graveyard. Why so? It’s the one nearest our place. The elliptical road …

    Sick To The Bones But Still Laughing Out Loud

    Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

    December weather is here and my usual fare of coughs and flu are here as well. Manila recorded a low 19 degrees C last Saturday so you can just imagine how colder it was here in Dasmariñas — with us being just 20kms from Tagaytay.

    And while I’m in bed, my …

    Life Is What I Draw

    Saturday, November 17th, 2007

    If Moleskine sketchbooks were made of less quality materials, then mine would have rotted already. Of course, I’m exaggerating. It’s just that upon checking it recently, my last sketch entry was dated way back in April of this year. I could have sworn I did a quick doodle or …

    Dave Fegidero

    Sunday, October 14th, 2007

    Thursday morning last week, I got a short email from a football teammate that our common friend, Dave Fegidero, had died in a motorcycle accident in Thailand. I was half-expecting a second email from him that there’s been a mistake but I knew I also had to confirm if the …

    My Thumb! My Thumb!

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    Another slow day at the office.

    Marvin, my officemate, had just lost 6 straight times against me playing Around The Clock. It’s just sweet revenge on my part as he whitewashed me before he left for his Thailand vacation last Friday. He said his fingers are jittery or something. Hmmm. Must …

    Kobe Out, Manny In

    Monday, September 24th, 2007

    Kobe Bryant’s Supernatural tour early this month here in Manila was met with much fanfare and a whole lot of screaming fans. At the Nike’s store front in Serendra, there was a LARGE Kobe-With-Wings poster/sticker plastered on it and you wouldn’t miss the Black Mamba’s image about to take off. …

    Strawberryland P-A-R-T-Why?

    Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

    Because it’s Annika Denise’s birthday that’s why!!!

    Yes! Andi had a Strawberryland party at Max’s Tagaytay last September 8. Her actual birthday was on the 4th but since it fell on a weekday, it would be impossible to get people out of work and their kids out of school. The preparations …

    Our Funny Baby

    Monday, August 27th, 2007

    Sounds like a Koreanovela title but that’s how Andi is right now.

    Just recently, we brought her to the mall and while she was munching a Gerber cookie, she was alternately throwing all those funny faces at us. And in the middle of her antics, she forgets which hand she’s …

    Back Online But Living Offline

    Monday, August 20th, 2007

    Our dsl connection was fixed four days ago after a week of waiting. I thought they would never come! So I guess I should be back to updating this site. But then again, life has a way of taking you away from too much internet. Hehe!

    It’s midway through August …

    Twisted Weather

    Monday, July 9th, 2007

    I’ve been remiss of writing in some updates here but somewhere between playing badminton and debugging Texas Instrument’s test application, I told myself, “Only a tornado can make me start updating my blog again.” What are the freaking chances that I would see a tornado in this lifetime?!!! Here in …

    Cebu In My Mind

    Saturday, June 30th, 2007

    A month ago, we spent 4 days in Cebu and our 9-month old Andi finally experienced her first airplane ride. My wife and I had apprehensions on how she’ll respond to the sudden rise and fall in altitude because from her elevator rides, she really gets fidgety when the …

    Random Quips and Clips

    Thursday, June 7th, 2007

    I’m raring to talk about our recent Cebu trip. But I haven’t sifted through the hundreds of pictures I took and since I am no wordy storyteller, our vacation photos will have to wait another day. So these some random quips and clips will have to make do for now…

    A Whirlwind of a Plan

    Sunday, May 27th, 2007

    Yes, that’s how I describe the phphoto EB(eyeball) that just transpired a few hours ago.

    Someone noticed that the group is actually becoming “phphoto gear” — which basically means more “gear” talk and measurebating than how-to-take-a-picture-of-an-orange kind of discussions. I guess I noticed this too but at the very least, I …

    The Water Boys

    Friday, May 25th, 2007

    I was able to breathe life again into our old camcorder with the purchase of a replacement battery off ebay.ph . I guess this restores my faith as well in online bidding especially here in the Philippines.

    This camcorder was purchased some 6 years ago in the States and would historically …

    Drawn To Mall

    Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

    About a month ago, I saw her featured link at Drawn! It wouldn’t be hard to notice this particular entry because it specifically mentioned that May Ann Licudine is “an illustrator from the Philippines whose style screams to be used to illustrate fairy tales and children’s stories” as Drawn! …

    Weekend Drives

    Friday, May 18th, 2007

    Last May 12, Saturday, we drove down to Nasugbu, Batangas to have lunch at “Kainan sa Dalampasigan” and while their food was nothing to rave about, Andi was in her usual good spirits to cheer us up. Later when dusk gathered, we hied to Figaro in Tagaytay to escape the …

    We haven’t driven up north in awhile and last Friday night was our first time with Andi in tow. We were to drop by first at my wife’s ancestral house in Bangar, La Union to get some stuff before going up to Baguio through Naguilan Road. Everything went perfectly as …
