I was at an MRT station Yesterday and was wondering what passengers were watching while waiting for the train.
They were watching the MRT TV's, those sleek, black flat-screen TV's at MRT stations. The TV was flashing some movie trailers and other clips from Omniprime Marketing Inc. (OMI). Thus the name of ...

I was at the Coke party last night. Glad to have my partner (a coke addict! :D) with me to see this blogger's circle.
But it was an anonymous circle, at least to me who hasn't been joining many of the recent blogger meetups. I'm guessing there were more than 100 ...

Then I visited other sites hosted in ploghost (my webserver).
I observed that yugatech.com and pinoytechblog.com don't ...

This is more than a year delayed. Hahaha! :-) .
In January 2007, Migs tagged me for this disclosure meme (pronounced "meem", not "meh-meh" as some pinoy tots would sometimes call their milk :D).
I wasn't much into disclosing stuff at that time. But I remembered this meme recently when I finally ...

There's so much to discover about your friends through Friendster. I remember our high school reunion last year. One of our friends was sooooo updated with the whereabout, whatabouts, howabouts and whyabouts of our old classmates. And do you know how he stays up-to-date? Through Friendster, of course!
I'm not much ...

I gathered this information through the Alex King "Popularity Contest" plugin. I'm keeping this information for future reference because I'll be resetting the counters.
Main reason I'm resetting the counters is because I want to publish the more recent most popular posts (instead of the historical most popular posts).
More specifically, this ...

When I was at my cousin's flat last year, a gadget caught my attention. I recognized it from a magazine, I believe it was given a "design" award. This transistor radio has a transparent hard casing that gives the user a peek into the inner workings of the radio.
First source ...

I was at Bolinao (see Bolinao photos here) last year. When it was time to pay, we couldn't use our credit cards because the resort didn't have a credit card terminal, sometimes known as a Point of Sale Machine, Credit Card swiper or in jologs terms, "kaskas".
The cashier explained that they ...

# 1.2.4 Step 4: Deactivate ALL your Plugins
# 1.2.5 Step 5: Ensure first four ...
