These pics were taken in October 2006. . I bought my Print Gocco PG-5 at the Shibuya Tokyu Hands in 2006 for ...

Summer rain, dripping down your face again

Sigh, my only excuse for not updating except is that I've been preoccupied ((With this, this, this, this, and this.)). Anyway, here are a few notes: - * It's been out for a while but here's a plug nonetheless: our mag Wedding Essentials came out with the annual Beautiful Weddings issue last ...

My favorite 2006 "discoveries" in no particular order. Photo swiped from this site. 1. Seafood Gumbo at Gumbo (SM's Mall of Asia and The Block). Yummy -- spicy, chockfull of crawfish, crab meat, shrimp and squid -- and very filling. Even if you only get the petite serving (P175), it's more than ...

In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife.
