Globe Telecom is releasing the iPhone 3G in the Philippines this Friday, which means only one thing: me wants. Yes, I know gas prices are skyrocketing. Yes, I know that the “standard” cup of rice at the local eatery has shrunk.
But mewants the iPhone 3G.
Why, you say? Why lust after the iPhone 3G when my [...]

As of this writing, yesterday was August 8, 2008—a rare date which only comes once every century. (I didn’t feel the “suspense” and “thrill” of it as much as I did on June 6, 2006.) Sure, whatever.
Anyway, yesterday was Friday, but there were no classes for some reason. A few of my friends and I [...]

As of today I have been relieved of my editor-in-chief position in our school’s official English publication. Seniority issues were raised and the school paper’s adviser finally decided to install a Senior writer in the top post to avoid further conflicts/misunderstandings.
I fully respect the decision and believe that it will ultimately lead to a stronger [...]

The freshman politicians of Service Through Appropriate Governance (STAG) Party, one of the two major political parties in Agusan National High School (and the one to which I belong), once again won the recently-held First Year elections by a landslide, with all six of the party’s candidates grabbing the First Year Supreme Student Government seats. [...]

Hi, all. Let me bitch for a while about how freaking crazy school has been.
So, today’s the 30th of June. It’s only been a month since Junior year started, yet we’re already swamped with incomprehensible equations and ridiculous scientific terms. Like, WTF’s sin and cos and tan and tan-1? My calculator is increasingly becoming my [...]

Hi, guys. As I said before, the silence of this blog is too loud to bear, so here’s a post to fill the empty void and break the awkward hush.
So I thought I’d take you guys through a timeline-style tour of how a day in the life of Dean usually goes, just so you see [...]

When I first heard about Ubuntu and was told about its features—safe from viruses, open-source, and easily accessible, community-provided support, among others—my interest in it was quickly piqued. I rushed to the neighborhood computer store and bought myself a CD-RW so I could begin burning the ISO onto the CD and then install Ubuntu’s latest [...]

Anyone who has read my about page will know that I am in high school right now. Furthermore, anyone who has gone through high school will agree that it is an exciting, if not turbulently exciting, era, where laughs never ended and pimples never stopped growing.

The few people who follow me on my Twitter account will have read that I am in Cagayan de Oro today, buying school supplies and whatnot in anticipation of the coming school year. Well, we happened to pass by an iPod retailer stall, and I was semi-drooling over an iPod Shuffle and my dad asked [...]

People have always taunted me for having “You’re Beautiful” on my MP4 player. Sure, people have been denouncing James Blunt as plain weird. Maybe he is. That high-pitched voice. The weird face he makes in the aforementioned song. But I like him.
I can’t pinpoint exactly what trait in Blunt’s songs I like. Maybe it’s the [...]

Some people take critique better than others. Case in point: yesterday, someone sent a message to a mailing list I was subscribed to. The email read:
Hi guys, check out my colleague’s blog, she’s name is —-…
Of course, that was grammatically incorrect. I should probably tell you by now that I have an impulse of correcting [...]
