[30 Jun 2008 | 2 Comments | ]

Here’s one of…

[29 Jun 2008 | 5 Comments | ]

If all goes well, I’ll be picking up my new Mac at iStudio V-Mall today, completely pre-loaded with all the documents and applications from my old comatosed MacBook. This purchase gets me to do a Mac hardware refresh every 2 years — starting from the 12″ PowerBook G4 in 2004,…

upcoming movies to watch!
[27 Jun 2008 | 7 Comments | ]

Nice stuff coming up in theaters! I can’t wait to see them, especially Wall-E and Dark Knight.

Mamma Mia! also looks like a fun flick, what with all the ABBA songs.
I’m not as familiar with Journey to the Center of the Earth and Hancock, but they do look interesting.…

Ayala Triangle on a workday
[26 Jun 2008 | 15 Comments | ]

on sleep debts and sleeping well..
[26 Jun 2008 | 4 Comments | ]

Trying to ensure I have enough sleep has always been a part of my daily challenge (read: struggle), especially as it’s hard to bounce back from not having enough of it.
Sleep deprivation adds up to what is called a sleep debt, which can range from one night’s (or day’s)…

Charlie’s cuisine
[25 Jun 2008 | 8 Comments | ]

Last weekend, we had a really good home-cooked meal that easily beats those I’ve had in restos. After my constant prodding and nagging, Charlie (aka javster) gladly obliged and treated us to his cuisine. Assisted by sous chef weedboy and all-around atsay Wander Girl, we had rib eye steak, mashed…
