Afternoon With Beer

I decided to have lunch with my buddy today. After having pizza at D’ Mark’s, we went to Grappa’s for a pitcher of dark beer. I tend to avoid Grappa’s because of the cost, but for a quick beer, perhaps it was ok.

The beer was great! I haven’t had beer that good in a long [...]

Mom Fevers

I was patiently working on capping some skills and accomplishing the quests on the way to Sorrow’s Furnace (in Guild Wars) when my mom called. Apparently, she feels sick and wanted to go home, but didn’t feel up to driving. So, I logged out, picked her up, and took her home. Her temperature wasn’t that [...]

"Business as Usual" in Makati City Hall

Having heard that some aspects of Makati City Hall were opening today, DZBB radio host Mike Enriquez decided to call the trunk line of Makati City Hall on-air and see if anyone answers. After a few rings, someone did. I was actually surprised that someone answered, more surprised that they were asking where Mike wanted [...]

Makati Mayor Suspended

Shortly after my initial brainstorm regarding “kardz”, I turned the TV on for some news. Typically, I tune in to CNN if it’s early morning, but I happened to tune the TV to a local TV station. Any Filipino who has even a passing sense of the news today should know about what’s going on [...]

Codename "Kardz"!

I woke up something like 0400 ‘coz this idea was bugging me. After mulling it over half-asleep, a eureka moment came to me and I woke up! Now, I just have to put all the thoughts and ideas down before they float away!

I won’t go into details yet, but for now I will give it [...]

Outdoor Cookout and Poker

Yesterday was cookout day with my SO and her friends. We went to the market and bought a bunch of stuff which we’d cook in one of my SO’s friend’s houses. I guess they liked the grilled asparagus I made last time, ‘coz they wanted it again. Unfortunately, since I can’t eat anything that ain’t [...]

Elona Reach, Augry Rock, and Dragon’s Lair

After spending most of yesterday fruitlessly trying to get past Elona Reach, I finally got through. Ironically, it was only when I tried doing it by myself did I succeed. The mission is quite hard, but apparently it could be run. So, I setup Salvi (my Elementalist) with running skills and tried it out. I [...]

Muscle Relaxants

After more than a week of the jaw ache with minimal signs of getting better, I got worried and consulted a doctor. I was right in suspecting that my impacted molars have nothing to do with it (I will have to deal with this quite soon too, though), but they do recommend that I take [...]

Selected Web Downtimes

Can’t access Google for some reason. I highly doubt it has anything to do with it’s recent acquisition of YouTube. Anyway, there’s always Yahoo, as well as other search engines. What Annoys me is that GuildWiki, my default resource for any Guild Wars resource I need, also can’t be accessed. It had to happen in [...]

The Departed

I found this movie disturbing, in a good way. Powerhouse male cast, a lot of swearing, violence in a rather personal level, and long (around 2.5 hrs). It was very well done, and I do recommend people to watch it. The tension builds-up gradually, and there’s a lot of conflict from the [...]
