Last December, my wife and I along with my in-laws went to Tagaytay, Philippines to have our anniversary lunch at Sonya’s Garden. Tagaytay is a 2-hour drive south from Manila, the Philippines’ capital. It’s a windy place similar to Baguio (the summer capital of the Philippines) with its scenic hills and slopes. In Tagaytay, there’s… Continue reading Tagaytay, Philippines – Sonya's Garden Anniversary Lunch
Goals for the year 2009
First day of the year 2009. I was on a plane going back from my home town in the Philippines to my work in Malaysia. It was an interesting flight for me for two reasons: 1) It’s New Year! and 2) I didn’t need to go to work the next morning, which was a Friday. … Continue reading Goals for the year 2009
Love on the sands of time
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all! It’s been a long time since I wrote on this blog. Almost a year has passed. So many things have happened. New year. New perspective. New beginning. This year I’d like to focus on three things: 1) my own financial education, 2) my new photography hobby, and of course, 3)… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Yesterday
Here’s my personal recording of the Beatle’s Yesterday. Enjoy! 🙂 UPDATE as of May 8, 2009: Unfortunately, about a month ago, SINGSHOT was no longer available as EA discontinued the service. Too bad. Anyone know of any other alternative for online videoke site? Rate this performance at The Sims On Stage
American Idol: will it be David vs David?
Will it be David vs David in the Final Showdown? That will be the question for tomorrow’s American Idol. Earlier this evening, I was able to watch the first songs of the top 3 American Idol contestants. I thought the performances didn’t really make someone stood out. They had pretty much the same performance as their… Continue reading American Idol: will it be David vs David?
Windows Live Writer
I have just downloaded and installed Windows Live Writer on my laptop. Let’s see how this post will look like in my blog. But first, let me try to change the font color to blue. This looks fun. The good thing about the Windows Live Writer is that it looks like a standard Microsoft Word… Continue reading Windows Live Writer
Chuck and the Buy More guys
I’ve been watching “Chuck” the past few days. It’s a new TV series about an ordinary guy, “Chuck”, who accidentally uploaded secret government information into his brain by reading an email from his spy friend “Bryce”. He has a very high capacity for absorbing information and got himself recruited by the CIA and NSA unknowingly. He works at “Buy More”,… Continue reading Chuck and the Buy More guys
Boracay – the Philippines' most popular beach
I love going to the beach. The clear water, the white sand beach and the twinking stars at night make the beach so peaceful. One of the best beaches I’ve been to is Boracay in the Philippines. The above picture of Boracay beach was taken last December. Notice how clear the water is? It’s very beautiful. I… Continue reading Boracay – the Philippines' most popular beach
American Idol – comparing apples to oranges
I’ve just watched American Idol. As usual, David Archuleta and David Cook both put on very strong performances tonight. One David is a hardcore rock artist. The other one is a balladeer. I hope they get to the final showdown. It’d be one hell of a show. It’s a bit of a challenge to compare… Continue reading American Idol – comparing apples to oranges
