Hopia Encounters
We’re far from Sichuan Province and we’re safe! How about the others?» My wife and I would like to thank everyone who sent their messages asking if we’re okay. Yes, we’re okay.

We are not been updating our blogs recently because my wife and […]
No Astroboy, Yes Shaolin Masters Fight!» We failed to bring any Astroboy action figure when we went to Suzhou so there wasn’t any Fight! Astroboy scene in Tiger Hill. Fortunately there was a souvenir shop inside the park so we were able to meet the Three Kung Fu Masters. So brace yourselves for a Kung Fu Fighting!
In Suzhou: The Tiger Hill, Leaning Tower and Pisa» Accompanied by our couple housemates, we went to visit Suzhou City last Saturday. We left the house at around 9:00 in the morning, took a bus from Kunshan Central Bus terminal (which I thought was an airport) to Suzhou. From there we parted ways. While the couple went off to shop for wedding dress, my […]

According to him, it travels at 400km/h from Longyang to Pudong Airport in 7 minutes.

Look who’s stalking»
For the longest time in the history of mankind, I opened my friendster account to stalk on my high-school classmates. It’s nice to know that after 12 or so years, I still could remember their full names especially the 3M (Meleah Maureen Minas) and the 3V (Venus V. Valenzuela). So here they are ladies and […]

No Sweet Lemons in Wordpress 2.5»
My upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 could have been easier if not for the One-Click install/upgrade function of my web host. If you were lurking here yesterday between 11:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon, you could have noticed that this blog was either missing or just flashing with the Launchpad theme. I believe […]

If this is not consumer disctatorship then tell me what it is…»

Before my wife leave for China, she’s already expecting lengthy boring week days for she’ll be left alone in our apartment all week day mornings so she have to have something to keep her busy (or less bored) during those days. Thus, she brought […]

Confessions of a Kleptomaniac»
I’m a kleptomaniac, I admit. When taking flights from Philippine Airlines, I would slot in the Mabuhay magazine into my bag.
