Lately, I have been obsessed with wanting to buy a new watch. I have always wanted to buy a Swatch or a Guess but again, budget issues comes in so I just have to make do with my cute, almost a year old, supposed-to-be-temporary, “so-so” watch.

The phone that I got when I arrived here two years ago is already outdated. It is not even a 3G phone, not blue-tooth capable, and could support only up to 500MB mini SD card. It may have a 3.2 megapixels camera but with its memory capability, I can’t put in music, videos, and more [...]

For most of us, Keanu Reeves comes to mind when we hear the word “matrix”. But for those who have to face advance mathematics in college, matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers. I had to deal with matrices for a semester and I thought that passing the course meant I could already freely forget [...]
When my father took home those big, flat-screen, CRT television, my siblings and I were really awed that we spent too much time in front of those bright objects watching our favorite action movies. When I first came back here last 2006, I was amazed more by the appearance of those LCD television that I [...]
