Growing Radish

June 15, 2009

Q:What’s related to cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower but doesn’t taste anything like them?

Growing Tomatoes

June 15, 2009

Tomatoes are one of the easiest plants to grow.
Any amateur farmer can pick up tomato seeds discarded before cooking, and thumb them in fertile ground. After time and some watering, the plants eventually give off fruit.
Unfortunately, the farmer notices that his home grown tomatoes do not look or taste as good as their parents. So he abandons his tomato growing hobby and is now content on buying tomatoes from the supermarket.

Purchasing J-pop CDs from Online Stores

June 5, 2009

Manila isn’t the best place to find J-pop CDs, unlike Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore, and even Bangkok. Filipino collectors in Manila have no choice but to go online for their UTADA HIKARU or L’ARC EN CIEL albums.

NO. I DON’T NEED YOUR AUTOGRAPH YOU SELF CENTRIC JERK

May 26, 2009

During the weekends, I had a desire to do what I really wanted to do in Hawaii in the first place besides education and work. That is to live my life to the fullest and have a grand of an adventure.

No one is given this much for a new beginning.

Especially to the fact that my co-worker noted that I’m becoming one like them because coming to work at JOB-1 seems to be the highlight of my day.

As that little nugget of wisdom made it through my sedated brain I had realized something: Why do we need artists’ autograph on works? isn’t it enough that they poured their blood and sweat though it?

Very odd.

Fantasy Premier League: Bosingwa nears match fitness

April 26, 2009

There are reports that Chelsea’s Jose Bosingwa, who has missed the last four Premier League games, could make an appearance this weekend in Chelsea’s fixture against West Ham United. With Ashley Cole out for next week’s Champions League first leg showdown with Barcelona, Chelsea manager Guues Hiddink is left with no choice but to reactivate the Portuguese defender and the West Ham game could be an avenue for Bosingwa to get into match fitness.

Fantasy Premier League: Bolton’s quality players at a bargain

April 10, 2009

Not too many fantasy managers are too keen in getting players especially from clubs in middle table. First of all, these players lack the media mileage that top clubs often enjoy like that of a Ronaldo, Lampard or a Gerrard. In managing a fantasy team though, it is crucial that managers can also tap the lower teams in completing their squads. A manager’s £100 million can certainly go a long way if he is able to spot quality players aside from the clubs that are on the top of the league table. [read this post]

A Place and Time for Everything

March 3, 2009

What would I give to look up from my writing and see the waters of the bright blue sea crashing against the warm orange-y shore? Instead, I’ve got glass and concrete buildings and the rumble of traffic on a busy intersection.

Having worked in an office before, assigned to a desk, a series of stories and deadlines, the whole idea of a space to write was forced upon me. Now, I’m still getting my bearings as to where to flop down and get some serious writing down.

Find a writing space of your own…

February 15, 2009

Guess what, I happened to be at Clark Air Field, Pampanga, when they opened the 14th Hot Air Balloon Festival, an event they dubbed as a “weekend of everything that flies”.
