Manang Bola (fortune teller in Batibot) wanna-be’s may get hold of this high-tech and stylish fortune ball. This is invented by Dr. Ming Fang. This fortune ball uses the Chinese calendar, theories of Astrology, Numerology, I Ching and Biorhythms. Aside from what I have mentioned, you must tell the fortune ball of your accurate birthdate and time which is indicated on our birth certificate. It will tell you your fortune for any given day up 30 days in advance. In addition, you can have a recap of what’s the last 30 days like. If you’re expecting that the fortune ball would speak to you of what’s going to happen, we’ll have to wait for some time for that. It is basically color coded (red = common fortune, purple = rising fortune, green = good fortune, light blue = great fortune, and dark blue = supreme fortune) (more…)

It was April when Pinoytechblog reported on Yahoo Mail Beta and after a few months, I was able to give it a try a few minutes ago of its Microsoft Outlook look-and-feel. What I liked about it is that you can read your RSS feeds there. By default, the RSS feeds that you will be getting is the Yahoo Mail Updates and the Yahoo News Full coverage. Clicking the Calendar and Notepad will bring you though to its previous look-and-feel. The banner ad that you will usually see on the top is now located on the right most side. You do not have to turn to the next page to be able to see your older messages. All you have to do is to scroll down and you will be surprised how fast it is. And if you think I am using a DSL connection, you’re wrong. Hehe. I’m just using dial up. And if you still want to switch back to its original interface, you can do that too!

trictrac I bought a wallet that is similar to this one. However, the material used in the picture is better than that of the one that I had acquired about a month ago at Tiendesitas. The price on the website selling that item is around USD 30 which is roughly 1,500 bucks when converted to the Philippine currency. Guess what? I got mine for only a 100 bucks that provides the same functionality and at the same amusement to my friends. I would not recommend you to place your credit cards and ATM cards there though. Just place there your 20-peso and 50-peso bills. A 100-peso bill is acceptable but do not place a lot of them there. You would not want to lose a huge amount of money just in case you accidentally drop it. Hehe.

I was supposed to be at COMDDAP (Computer Manufacturers, Distributors and Dealers Association of the Philippines) this week when I found out from our officemate that COMDAPP will be moved on a later date (October 26 to October 28). The tent was damaged by Milenyo and it really must have costed them a lot since it is the largest customized exhibition venue.

TIP! If you are planning to buy or upgrade your computer or purchase printers and stuff, just wait for COMDDAP. Dealers and distributors usually have promos during trade shows.

What is a Tabo? A tabo is something that you would look for in a hotel even you are blessed with a hot/cold shower. Likewise, a tabo is something that you would look for after releasing elements in solid (sometimes in liquid form) from your system because a tissue paper does not seem to satisfy your needs.

The Tabo Project is a fairly unique and interesting project. I discovered this through Ria of Paramita after sharing this link with me over Yahoo Messenger. While I was searching for The Tabo Project over Google, I also found the Tabo as an art form collection. For some time, we have preoccupied ourselves doing The Mirror Project while we exhibit our narcissistic side. Now, it’s time to take your cameras and start the Tabo project.

If there’s anything I love about going to events, expositions or whatever I call it, it’s the interesting and at the same time, the odd finds as well. And who would have thought of putting a stained glass caped superhero as part of the aesthetics of his home? There are a lot of people who are dying just to have a figurine of Superman or any other comic book character to have it displayed in his or her room. But a stained glass? Surely this would be a really cool idea, however, this is just way too much. Yes you could buy yourself a costume and a figurine for display and some comic books but a stained glass like on the picture is for ultra-rich-kid fanatics. Nevertheless, the artwork of the stained glass is magnificent since it has truly displayed the mark of a skilled artist. I found this one at WorldBEX 2006 amongst the tiled car and the models walking on the ramp surrounded by bathroom fixtures. I tell you, if you’re going to see this, you’ll surely be awed by this. And the same thing goes if you’ll ever see this sculpture. Also, expect to be seeing a Spongebob-like mascot (minus the spongy texture of course) of Wilcon Builders.

Odd Lizard

Now, this is one sucky moment when all I need is a digital camera so that I could zoom in further to show you a much better shot of an odd lizard with a cockroach on his mouth waiting to be devoured. This is the best thing that my camera phone can do without the risk of the lizard jumping on me while the cockroach is in his mouth. Of course I won’t spoil his dinner. By all means, eat all the cockroaches that he’ll find. I would even keep him as a pet for that. It’s much better than buying Baygon and smell the addicting fumes for a price.

Bobble Head Gang

Because my nephews love window toy shopping, I went with them inside a toy store located right after Royal Sporting Goods in Glorietta. I came across this wonderful Bobble heads of Joker, Superman, Batman and Robin. I was drooling over how the details of these bobble heads were made. But that was not my priority since I’ve already spent two shirts for my nephews as my gift for their upcoming birthday. Maybe I’d go there and get one for myself sometime.
