Well, I installed Viber for the Linux desktop today. Yet again. I remember installing it not so long ago only to end up uninstalling it straight away because the application window looked disproportionately huge on my Ubuntu 16.04. The issue is still present now. Describing it, below are a few of what I noticed when…
… on the first day of our trip, right after getting off the Airport MRT. … and then I found it again. 15 mins later. Not on my seat on the train where I thought I dropped it. Not on the floor of the platform where it might have slipped off my left jacket pocket….
Yeah, whut?! I have noticed this for a while ever since I setup this site a few weeks ago. While I uploaded everything by hand through good old `scp` at first, it really didn’t occur to me then that there was something weird going on. I didn’t bother with it so much then. All that…
What can I say? It is one hell of an ending. Expected something else, but I can’t complain so much. They had to tie loose ends. Then there are those with contracts that were about to expire. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the movie despite all that drama. The action sequences were there. The…
First encountered this bug in 2017. It is almost 2 years now and they still have not gotten to fix it. Well, somebody actually said they already have a fix for it but have not committed it yet since according to them, and I quote: “We’ve had a fix for this in review for a…
Ever since I started reading books, learning about and seeing pictures of places from all around the world, and watching these sites on TV or the Internet, I have always had this burning desire to travel there myself, to set foot on these lands and witness it with my own eyes. This was my DREAM….
An egg hunt is a game during which decorated eggs or Easter eggs are hidden for children to find. Real hard-boiled eggs, which are typically dyed or painted, artificial eggs made of plastic filled with chocolate or candies, or foil-wrapped egg-shaped chocolates of various sizes are hidden in various places. The game is often played…
Not really fond of those Android brands from China that are flooding the market right now. Name your pick. I mean, I know a lot of people are getting these phones. What with the features they come loaded with such as bigger screens, modern cameras for the photo-minded, fingerprint scanners, while all that plus more…
So I was having dinner the other night at this fine dining place. It was actually a treat to me for somebody who “owed” me, and somehow I got to choose the restaurant. Nothing posh or fancy though. There was a budget cap! We happened to be really close by Ayala Triangle that time thus…
Well, Chinese New Year at that. But, nonetheless, “Xīn Nián Kuài Lè!“, as the literal translation would be. The more common greeting, they say, is “Gōng Xǐ Fā Cái“. Which means “wishing you prosperity”. And this year, according to the Chinese calendar, would be that of the Pig. Took me only another new year celebration…

Poblacion food hop @ Makati City on 5th November 2018 – Food tripping on my birthday! ABKD (Ah-ba-ka-dah) – Started with coffee @ 4pm-ish. Too bad their kitchen was still closed. Would have loved to have tried their chicken skin bites. So-so taste for the coffee. It wasn’t all that bad. Probably will still give…
Mamma Mia! the musical @ Solaire Resort & Casino, Parañaque City, Metro Manila on 11th October 2018 – Nope, I didn’t watch Mamma Mia! the musical. My mom did. I only waited for her outside. Took these photos while killing the time for 3 hours.
Shot taken last 3rd September 2018 around 7:01PM on board Cebu Pacific flight 5J806 as it slowly descends down the taxiways towards the runway, awaiting for its turn to take off from Changi Airport, Singapore. This is my final good bye to you Singapore. My home away from home for the last 7 years…
