he turned 10 today. two digits. i hate to make it sound like a cliché but time do fly. a decade ago he was born premature — seven months and 3.75 pounds. now, he weighs almost 80 pounds. hopefully, one of these days, i’ll find him taller than me.
another decade and he’ll be [...]
yesterday was pretty unusual for me. i had to wake up early on a sunday to help out lito man the rudy project booth at the first leg of the 2008 hitachi national grand prix criterium race in luneta. he rarely asks for favors so why the heck not? that’s a no brainer. its a [...]
the weekend has so far been very nice. it hasn’t been hot because there’s a thick blanket of clouds overheard. it has been a bit breezy, cool and dry — a perfect day to go out and take a stroll or bike or just vege out.
but its robin’s long exams this coming monday and tuesday [...]
today i got an e-mail from someone-that-cannot-be-named in huge (about 2cm high) bold letters, “please stop sending me notices“. or something to that effect.
talking face to face with a person is different when communicating with the same person via e-mail. to express emotion in an e-mail one has to be a little creative with the [...]
i just heard from john (a new friend) that sheldon brown (the cyclist) passed away a few days ago. that bit of news stopped me at mid sentence. oh wow.

its a sunday and we had to go to school for a procession. it happens once each year during the last day of the school fair. last year it rained while the mass was going on in the field. this year, it rained a little earlier — during the procession. ha! fun! its been biting [...]
my mother is here for a short visit. she left san pablo at 5 in the morning to get to see robin perform in his field demo at 8am. she’ll head back to the province tomorrow afternoon after a homecoming reunion at holy spirit.
i have often thought of my mother’s side of the [...]
i get a lot of forwarded mails from friends containing jokes, quotes, stories and whatever. when i open the mail i see this longish list of people which forwarded the mail to their friends who forwarded to their friends, etc. until the list of recipients is nine times longer than the actual message at which [...]
i’ve always thought that doing two (or three) things at the same time is cool. my mother on the other hand always told me not to. “it’s not good”, she would say. i would also receive the same advice from my father.
well, it appears that they’re right. i found this article (via /.) by walter [...]
i rode to moa (mall of asia) this morning for a little meet up at seattle’s best. there were a lot of cyclists along roxas boulevard as well as walkers and joggers as is usual for a sunday in manila. the drivers were happily accomodating. its only on sundays afterall.
unfortunately, also saw an accident at [...]
