I was inspired by a quick rhyming snippet from a friend's email signature sent via BlackBerry, she wrote: "Apologies for the brevity - this was sent on a BlackBerry" So c'mon! Do away with the boring "Sent via BlackBerry" generic signature, and make a new signature today! Hehe. So here are few of my own suggestions for use as your Black Berry email signature. I don't have a BlackBerry myself, but am welcome to receiving one as a gift. Here goes... 1. The same message above in Haiku form: "My apologies for the brevity, 'tis sent via BlackBerry!" 2. For the people on the go: "In my office, I am not. From my BlackBerry this was shot." 3. This one's a bit long.. but what the heck. If you're into Shakespear maybe? "I shall never dare be late, answering thine mail, post haste! So from mine fine BlackBerry, I have sent this note to thee!" 4. If you don't like work emails to follow you: "Since I got this BlackBe...

A Theme Thursday post "Good day sunlight, I'd like to say how truly bright you are..." Summer ended early in the Philippines this year. Too early! It was only the beginning of May when the first typhoon arrived and a storm warning signal was declared over parts of the Philippines. Now as I type this post, typhoon Feria (local name) is raging outside my window... Next week it will be July. That means hoping for a bright sun shiny day is over, summer has lost to rain. This battle is now over. Soon the rains will completely take over: the skies will be dark for most of the day, the stars at night hidden by the dark clouds. "You don't know me, but I know you, see, you're my favorite star..." I miss the summer, when the sun is out and up. I miss the beach at summertime, when the sand and the water is warm and the nights a cool respite. I miss having ice cream and halo-halo to cool off. I miss not needing to bring an umbrella every time I leave the ...

"...biyayang bigay na galing sa Diyos..." I stumbled upon this youtube "video" of a recording of a song I did way back when i was still in the University. It's called "Lagi na Lang" ("As Always") and was written and composed by Pastor Norman Dagdag, Drums, Acoustic Taylor guitar, and sound engineering by Mr. Ike Heredia, Mixed and Recorded @ STUDIO 7 Grand Villas, Quezon City. Lead vocals and back-up vocals by your truly. :D This was 2nd of 3 songs we recorded, and was the most fun to do. Haha! Hope you watch and leave a comment! A quick translation for non-Filipinos: I hear your voice, and I am with you You bring treasures overflowing I am thankful for all the blessings that come You show a path that is true You care for and protect me Day and night you love me Your power moves my life Your blessing are never ending Always, for always   Subscribe in a reader

I have not been this excited for a movie in a long time. Haha! Around this time last year they announced that there will be a movie version of the Emmy award winning cartoon series from Nickelodeon, Avatar: The Last Airbender. I was really excited I blogged about it too. Now they've released the first trailer for the first movie of the trilogy! (Guys, seriously, this is sooo much better than that vampire movie thingy. Hehe!) The first movie is set for July 2, 2010. It will be titled "The Last Airbender" because some other movie was named "Avatar" already. I can't wait! This will be awesome. (Think, Lord of the Rings.) I pray they won't make the same mistakes they made for "Dragon Ball Z" (like hire a white dude to play an asian dude). M. Night Shyamalan who will write, direct and produce, better not mess this up! And by the way, Dev Patel of "Slumdog Millionnaire" fame will be playing Zuko. Hehe! That will be cool. Anyway, the ...

About an hour ago, DOH announced the Philippines' first fatality related to swine flu or Influenza A H1N1 virus. The 49-year-old woman from Metro Manila died from congestive heart failure (the blood passageway to her heart was blocked), but was discovered after she had died that she was infected with the swine flu virus. Her death is the first reported fatality related to Influenza A (H1N1). Her husband and son are currently quarantined, and DOH is doing a contact tracing of the family. Meanwhile, several more schools have suspended classes due to the outbreak. The Philippines reportedly has the highest number of infections in the South East Asian region. Sources linked after the jump... Sources: GMA - DOH announces first death in RP linked to A(H1N1) ABS-CBN - RP confirms first A (H1N1) death _______________________________________ This report got me really worried. And this swine flu is really making me paranoid. Last week my girlfriend was sick, turned out it was common flu. And...

I've read a lot of posts ranting about the Political ads running on TV like the one above of Manny Villar, and the one on this blog , of Mar Roxas. Bloggers like Adaphobic are lashing out at the audacity of using money for TV ads instead of for helping the poor... Here's my 2 cents... It's like Affiliate Marketing Sure you, and me, and a lot of the bloggers are, as you say, "cringing every time we watch these ads", but let's keep in mind, even though we are part of the voting population, these ads are not meant for us - it is meant more so for the majority of the voting population, i.e. the people with nary a dime but have talking boxes in their 2x2 meter living rooms (which also double as a bedroom at night). They are the people who will go, "ay, talagang para sa mahirap itong si Manny Villar!" every time they watch these ads. And THEY have the power to put a President in office. Now, my intention is not to demean poor people (or eve...
