Moving, Thinking, Writing

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Falling in a predicament wherein you would want that you’re armed with words to best encapsulate an experience. I’d often blame circumstances for not writing. It can be that I’m still on the move when the inspiration struck and when I got to sit in front of the computer, I’d already lost it. Or perhaps [...]

The 1TB Stretch

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Don’t you ever wish you can stretch yourself further than what you’re capable of? I have. Several times and more. I even sometimes wish that there’s two of me. Though, I know that is already reaching. Stretch, yes. Cloning, no. Hehe.
I’ve been using a Canon Rebel XTi 400D since February 2007 and an HP Pavilion [...]

The Album Cover Tag

John & Brita Haycroft
Where Only One Grew Before

This is actually a tag thing circulating in Facebook but I just had to bring it over and invite folks to come and join the fun. It does require a little tech skill, i.e. Photoshop, [...]

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 [...]
