There was a rally last Friday at Ayala Avenue. I did not join in the rally but I was able to witness some parts of it. Prior to the start of the rally, me, Sha, Vien, Joms, and their colleague bumped into Atty. Raymond Fortun. The part of Ayala Avenue between Rufino and Paseo De Roxas Sts. were empty of vehicles. Atty. Fortun had us posed. He asked us to jump (yes, a jump shot!). He also asked us to pose behind the railings with a sad face. Hehe. It was during that time that I’ve learned that he is into photography. I am still waiting to check out the photos he took in the rally last Friday.

After the Harry Potter and the Transformers contests at Yugatech, here now comes The Bourne Ultimatum contest. The lucky winner will win merchandise from this film such as a black cap and a replica of the David Webb dog tag. Anyway, I think that generating a winner from this contest seems difficult because Abe will draw three countries and the winner should get all the three countries. Just imagine the number of combinations .

Tim just posted a message in the mailing list. He’ll be back with the band for the April gig schedule. According to Tim also, Ebe, Kris and Jason are doing his guitar duties for the meantime. (more…)

Buying used cars can be really quite a drag because you have to make sure that you are getting a good buy. And it is indeed a tedious task. There are a lot of websites that are selling used cars and even accessories for that matter. For those who are in California, you might want to try used cars in San Diego and of course for those who are in the Philippines, just go to tsikot and ebay-ph. Aside from websites there’s the popular Buy and Sell but it would be a lot better if we could see the photos first before contacting the person about the car. Around the metropolis, there are a lot of businesses that are engaged in buying and selling of cars, you may want to take a look there too. However, you may not be able to haggle the price of the car because you’re dealing with a third party and not the owner of the car. (more…)

A few years back, DLSU introduced BS Manufacturing Engineering Minor in Biomedical Engineering. The said course offering was fresh when my former professor John John Cabibihan (who graduated with the same course as mine and took a master’s degree afterwards) went to Italy to get a PhD degree. He’s currently involved in the CyberHand Project. The project should be completed in about two to four years time according to John John.

I’ve been wanting to do this ages ago. Before anything, let me ask you some questions. Do you have a band? If yes, are you new to the band scene? If yes, do you want your band to be featured here? If you have some recorded stuff, you can send it to me so that I’ll know how you sound like. Then I’d podcast an excerpt of the track you sent to me plus a little something about the members of the band and about the band itself. If you’re game for this stuff, upload an MP3 track for me at YouSendIt. Then the recipient’s email address should be karlaredor[at]gmail.com. Also, please do send me a picture of your band (yeah the whole band). Watch out for the first band to be featured here.

Daisy Rock is a girl guitar company. However, Daisy Rock guitars are not limited to girls. Who says the guys cannot have a guitar like the one in the picture above? I know this could humiliate them. However, such guitar could draw so much attention that even if it’s tantamount to negative publicity, it is still publicity. Their guitars are not limited to daisy-shaped bodies but you can also get a heart-shaped, butterfly-shaped and star-shaped guitars. Still, I would like to have an guitar that looks pretty normal. If ever I’ll get a guitar from Daisy Rock, it would be the one from the Rock Candy Series. I could could stick to the Rainbow Sparkle or something like the Rainbow Sparkle but of a different shade.

Omega-3 my ass. This is disappointing. After their exhaustive research on the Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in tuna which has been really used quite well for their marketing, I’ve found out here that it is not a good source of Omega-3. Why? The canning process is responsible. So, even if you eat Century Tuna everyday, it won’t be a guarantee that you will not suffer a heart attack. Of course, this still holds true even if you eat tuna that is not canned. Perfect example is that: eating tuna and kilos of sisig and other food that are rich in non-essential fatty acids. You’ll then feel that your nape hurts after the oily food overload.
