Business was not what I expected

30.04.2010
whoa, I used to ride one of these... I wonder how mine is doing...

The last few years I was pretty much psyched and overflowing with enthusiasm in starting my own business. During the first year I experimented while I was still employed in Makati. A simple hosting, web development site and a...[more]


Iron Man 2?

30.04.2010
Too bad they killed him too soon

*spoilers* The heat of the sun was killing me awhile ago! My watch temperature tells me 33°C so at times I go out and cool off across the mall and found iron man 2 showing in the theaters. I thought it was the best time to watch...[more]


Clear view

28.04.2010

The office has 2 panels of clear windows with some sticker tints and a clear door. At the back is another smaller glass window overviewing the basement parking area. This setup is intentionally left clear so that me and my...[more]


Overheat

24.04.2010

Summer is the season for fires. Just yesterday a fire broke up within the basement of my beloved mall ShangriLa. It's too bad their air conditioning was tops.. now it'll have to take days for them to clean up. It seems that the...[more]


Setting up shop

21.04.2010
Maybe it is a shopping cart

I am going to try out an e-shop soon. I've finally registered a business name so that suppliers will recognize me. I've just been accepted by 2 suppliers in the US, hopefully they will be reliable.. I've heard of difficult...[more]


"I have the superpower to be invisible to girls"

21.04.2010

If I wanted to walk up to her and tell her that she changed my life then that'll feel awkward. Saying the three  little words is much too cliche`, females now demand something more profound. I'm no poet. But sometimes simply...[more]


Shutter Island

21.04.2010

*spoilers!* This is one of those movies where you shouldn't root for the protagonist til the end. There isn't much spooks and shocking scenes but the entire film is rather gloomy because of the weather on the island. I like...[more]


Econph CIS systems was a bad purchase...

14.04.2010
Some random ink image unrelated to post.

Unlimited ink sounds great but when my yellow cartridge stopped pushing up I called up their number 426 7910 and then guy told me that they do not provide support for it anymore. This didn't even last for a year yet.. they...[more]


Random observations

11.04.2010

There's this old homeless(?) mother-son wandering around greenfield district, I almost always spot them at nighttime eating champorado at the local 24/hr eatery. I once saw the son cleaning his mom's(?) feet at the store, I see...[more]


Finding the niche

07.04.2010

In the e-commerce world I've learned that just about every niche out there is being exploited. I've searched from watches to fake foods to baby products, all surrounded by established shops. Wallmart items are out, forget Ebay...[more]


How to train your dragon

04.04.2010

This movie was surprisingly good, almost right in the level of Cloudy with a chance of meatballs of last year's. The past few years has been a good year for 3d films, I really like where this is going. But there are downsides for...[more]
