In fire, in fire, down to the last wire

If life is just a stage, let’s put on the best show.

I've been so delinquent in updating that -- I have to admit -- I've forgotten how to do this. And then I remembered that lists are always foolproof. So here are some random things that I've either recently discovered or am currently into that I would like to share with ...

If you’re cold I’ll tell you it’s just the summer breeze

Since my last entry... * ...PLDT-DSL has gone from bad to worse. Is it just ours or do the lines really fluctuate for one to two hours during off-peak hours? It's been like this for two weeks now. We've reported it 3x but the rep only keeps saying that "they will ...

Really busy…busy, busy…hairdresser on fire

Huh? Is it time for my once-a-month entry already? I hardly even noticed February creep in because I was [see subject heading] ((And I was in 3rd year college when that song was all the rage with the new wave crowd. Do the math if you like.)) with: 1. A website ...

That day will come, when everybody is a number one.

One of the questions I often get asked is "who are the graphic designers you admire?" It's quite a list actually so I hope you have time because I'm gonna take you through it right now. *** David Carson. He was the Nirvana and Pearl Jam of the visual movement in the ...

Last year’s troubles are so old fashioned

Halloo, I'm back. This site was down again all weekend so I finally left Affordablehost, my home for five years, for the it - seems - to - me more reliable Axishost. You can read about -- and possibly learn from -- why I did so on this page. *** My Arn ...

Si Andong Agimat, parating na.

Please mark your calendars, dear people! My Arn's new novel is coming out in April 2006. We sent out about 15 teaser ads, each one sporting a different character/design, to different sets of email addies and thanks to Technorati's watchlist feature, so far I've seen 7 of them pop up ...

Hello again, it’s me.

Wow, in four days it will be a year since I last updated this blog! Where did the time go? I don't even know what to write about here anymore. *sheepish grin* There are actually TWO things that prompted me to post an update. 1) A conversation I had with my friend ...

Hooray hooray, I’m your silver lining

Finally -- a cleaner, fresher, more "grown-up" look ((Well I am 36 y.o. after all)). And best of all, look at all that space! I got so used to my last layout's narrow posting area that I can't get over how roomy this is. :) But what exactly happened, you ...
