Eragon: A Straightforward Movie Review

I was finally able to sneak time to watch the movie adaptation to Christopher Paolini’s Eragon, rather belated as world premiere was mid-December of last year. I am not sure when exactly it was first shown in Manila and major cities, but I figure about three or four weeks past. That’s the usual waiting time [...]

Clipmarks: How to Share Information to People Who Have No Time

Here’s a nifty way to share info from the web, by showing exact snippets of it (the most important parts), instead of just linking to them like we usually do here in blogs. Sometimes, we just want to share pieces, or perhaps quote the most compelling sections of whatever we stumble upon, and not have [...]

Common Errors in English Usage

We Filipinos are quick to spot language bloopers and easily crack up whenever these blunders are made, either by family, or friend, but most ecstatically by a foe. I remember sharing Erap text jokes. And vividly remember a Ms. Philippines candidate say “unexpectively” in her interview. Melanie Marquez’s “long-legged legs” is a favorite, too. Then [...]

Resource and Tutorials for Web Designers and Developers

…came across this site through the Green Living blog, and although I may not be able to find time for it soon, I’d like to have my own website and be able to say I made it myself. Much of the language in computer tech are alien to me, as is much of what [...]

Hooked to Blogging!

Cartoon from xkcd.com
I had wanted to write an article on this, but the procrastinator in me always gets in the way. Until I got to read this post entitled, the 5th: Freedom of Blog , on Frank Hilario’s Creative Leaps blog. Nobody could have said it better.

on marriage and differing points of view

There’s this post on avanoo saying, The Science is Clear, Marriage Should be Eradicated. It’s been getting a lot of feedback, both on the affirmative and negative, all seemingly correct and presenting valid and strong arguments. I’m tempted to copy and paste my own reply to the article’s proposition. Indulge me.
“I’d have to [...]

A Love Story to Beat All Telenovelas

I’ve been displaced from my tv habit on prime time, thanks to the womenfolk at home. Until about 11:00 o’clock, they hog the set, switching from one channel to another and often delaying meal time as dinner is usually prepared WHILE watching these Tagalog and Korean “teleseryes”.
