Meet My Very Own WiFi Sniffer, The Nokia E71

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Using a 17″ HP Pavilion dv9000 is no joke. Lugging it around in a bag is quite a chore so the idea of pulling it out then finding out there’s no WiFi is such a hassle. That’s why I bought the Nokia E71. I want a WiFi sniffer.
I kid. I kid.
After a clamshell, next up [...]

Today I Am Thankful, Week 4

Monday, July 28th, 2008

A day late but with good reason. How can I possibly let this week pass without a post on the things that I’m thankful for? Esp since this past week, I was reminded of the dreams I had listed down eight (8) years ago. Yes, I have a journal to prove it. LOL.
We all have [...]

Why Do You Plurk?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

When I signed up for a Plurk account, I wasn’t really planning on using the darn thing. I’ve been thoroughly distracted by my other micro-blog as it is. But I thought it wouldn’t hurt to check the app out.
And then I found myself hooked.
Reasons why I Plurk:
1. Communicate. I reckon it’s a healthy way [...]

Today I Am Thankful, Week 3

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

How quickly a week passes. This makes me realise how we often dismiss the fact that time is indeed fleeting. You can only feel it during the moment when you’re thinking about it. You can only look back and try to remember what we have done and think of what we will be doing. Personally, [...]

When Good Things Come in Small Packages

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Can you believe how small oranges can be as sweet as the regular-sized ones? Admittedly, I’m not particularly fond of oranges. I’d pick an apple over it any day but I know nothing of the existence of mini-apples. Hence, my fascination with these mini-oranges. Notice how small they are compared to the orange slice [...]

I am where I should be.

From that moment I held a camera in my hands back in 2005 and saw the photos I took, I was hooked. It stirred an unimaginable fiery passion that I didn’t know existed. I just knew I wanted to keep doing it. I didn’t own a camera [...]

The Parody on WP 2.5

Monday, April 7th, 2008

I’m still a bit lost in navigating through this thing but I’m coping. I have to! I actually started off writing this darn post as a page and was about to publish before I realised it. It brought me there by default! It’s a bug, I say. Heh.
I had Rico upgrade my really old WP [...]

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

This year, two of my b5media blogs were nominated in the GLAM Network Awards — one is my fashion blog, Tops 2 Bottoms, and the other one is my Asian beauty blog, Beauty Bento Box. I’m absolutely ecstatic! Weee!
Tops 2 Bottoms falls under the Fashion Publishers list and Beauty Bento Box, the Beauty Publishers list. [...]

I Blame the PS3!

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I’ve been absent. Yes. And I wish I can really put all the blame on my newest baby, a Playstation 3. But I only got my hands on it at the end of this month. I’ve been terribly busy in terms of online and offline responsibilities esp since I was out of the country for [...]

A Birthday Gift

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Rico was all mysterious about his gift for the past week but he would openly tell me that it’s coming.
He’d say stuff like, “You’ll like my gift” “Can it be my gift for your birthday and Christmas?” “I’m on my way to buy your gift now”. He certainly made sure I’d expect the gift. When [...]
