Cable is down. I'm blogging as usual.
My little project is now in its infancy, or in tech parlance, "beta". I would like to thank Jason for helping me and standing up to my neurotic sarcasms (at times)
I'm currently listenning to my mp3's. Now Playing - Adrienne by The Calling.
I've been thinking what I would be asking for for the Holidays that was. At first, the PSP was love at first sight, but now, I've been more into the U2 iPod (which by the way doesn't seem worth its price) I've also thought of asking for a PDA, but I don't see its use in my daily routine. Maybe I'll just go all out and ask for a new laptop! (kidding)
Suggestions? To those curious and can't wait what this little project of my is, ym me...

new endeavor
I've been thinking of this for a long time already. Now, it looks like it will finally push through. Yes, this is a new endeavor!
Being the techie gadget freak that I am, I'm always curious about the new stuff. Problem is, the Philippines doesn't seem to have anything enough. I was thinking of setting up a site similar to engadget or amdzone which is primarily a collection of news and new stuff with a blog feel to it. This means I don't exactly have to do the reviews, only the rants!
We'll see if it works. I'm also going to register a domain name once things are finalized. Maybe I can have a quick buck as well!

Old stuff
The day after Christmas seems to be a drag. There's nothing to do and even worse, nothing to eat! So here I am again, facing the computer, waiting for time to pass by. Out of curiosity, I searched my name on Google. Of the results, I saw my old site at tripod. Surprisingly it was still up. Then I remembered that I wrote something then for my FrontPage. Here it is...
"Man is contradiction of a species. He seeks a future of bliss but hesitates to justify the damage along the way. Unable to justify the means for its glorious end results in man’s constant failure to seek his goal. Man dreams day and night to put right his destiny but he himself shatters them before it is cast. He is unwilling to sacrifice, for instant gratification is always ideal. Man is a team player but he always strives to be the boss. He likes to works with his comrades but secretly covets to have them work for him instead. All men want happiness and peace for everyone. He wants to live a life free from the fear of terror. However, ambition and greed take over man’s good will. This leads to man’s destruction. Man falls to his own want for excess. Man can easily form a united bloc but instead chooses to be fractious. He seeks more than his neighbor for he wants it all.
Nature has molded man to be good but selfish. He builds wonders but annihilates everything. He cares for everyone but first and foremost for himself. He lived in a treacherous world full of danger where instincts matter most. Now, as civilization has matured and grown, man has stayed the same. He continues to be sly and deceptive. He continues to dream but he also continues to act on his instincts. He trusts no one but himself."
By the way, I think the minimalist black, grey and white layout was pretty nice. Maybe I'll use it in my next endeavor. Here's a link for the curious.

Better than the Ultimate Matrix Collection
Most people know I'm not really an Anime fan, though I do like some. Now, while compiling my wish list using Amazon.co.jp, I came across this. It is a DVD set of Slam Dunk to commemorate its 10th year anniversary. Inside the box is a set of 17 discs which comprises of all the 101 episodes, a replica jersey of one of the Shohoku starting five (you can choose), a book that summarizes the story and bonus cd's with soundtracks and TV spots.
It was dream come true! But like some ethereal thought, I was brought back to reality when I saw the price. 92,400 yen including tax is not cheap. In fact, I could buy a new HP laptop with that!
Oh well, maybe I'll have to wait another ten more years...
