Facebook Phenomenon

I've had FaceBook account for a long time, I just didn't have people to connect to for so long.FaceBook launched before Friendster, but for some reason, Friendster became more popular in the Philippines. Friendster is now widely used by most students. Maybe this is the reason why the older people that I know have switched and/or started using FaceBook.Apart from being constantly inundated by

SanPabloUnlimited.com Launched

I finally launched the website SanPabloUnlimited.com that I've been thinking about for some time now. It's supposed to promote the city of seven lakes as a top tourist (both foreigners and locals) destination south of Metro Manila. It also offers classified ads and a forum to help the local residents reach out to each other and facilitate their business-to-business needs.After thinking about it

Went to Market-Market

I went to Market-Market today, it's a big mall in the Fort Bonifacio area in Makati. I was amazed at the number of people who choose to walk slowly in the middle of an aile effectively making slowing down everybody else behind them.

Thank you Dumaguete for a wonderful vacation!We were supposed to meet up with Mike Feeney (expat proprietor of a local dive shop) at the airport at 8:30am and then proceed directly to Apo Island, he was nice enough to offer that extra bit of service so we could get the most out of our vacation. Because of a delayed Cebu Pacific flight from Manila, he had to proceed to Apo Island but without us.

Watched the Batdude at IMAX -- such a big disappointment

What else is there to say? IMAX -- it was huge! That initial screen with the buildings and the view gave me vertigo, and I don't have vertigo, but maybe now I do.Somehow, with all the bat-hype that everybody else gave that bat-movie, I felt kinda cheated because it didn't quite measure up to what I was hoping it to be.To the true bat-fans out there who actually bat-read the bat-comics and the

Going to Dumaguete

2008-07-04T17:57:00.000+08:00

I'm going to Dumaguete tomorrow! It's going to be 5 days of scuba diving around Apo Island and Duain. Actually it's going to be only 4 days of diving since I'm not supposed to dive 24 hours before a flight, so the last day's going to be for checking out the sights and sounds of Dumaguete City.
