This is the last of my weekend play by play series, at least for this year. I'd better savor it. Last weekend, Batch '98 closed its spirited run in the Pisay Alumni Volleyball Tournament. Batch '98 fell to a more inspired '88 team 8-25,20-25 in the Saturday game. Batch '98 ended its campaign on a positive note, demolishing '93 in straight sets 25-20,25-23.

So how do you guys like the new layout? Sorry if it's a tad simple, it was actually a bit more complex earlier but it was broken in IE, with its poor support for CSS standards. I had been developing in Linux and had to boot into Windows just to set it right. Of course, everyone ought to be using Firefox by now, but I digress. Anyway, just a little background: I've had that Bio-man graphic for a

hokay. I realized that I could make this relevant to the blog by starting appropriately... To all Pisay98 (oh yes, I just did that) people with gmail accounts. Google has released its official gmail notifier. You can download it here. Being the nice batchmate that I am, I'm not elaborating on it. You can read the faq (frequently asked questions) for more info. why the hell did I post this here?

Nagtataka lang ako. Ang dami-dami kong kilalang tao na hanggang ngayon, may hang-up pa rin sa mga high school flame nila. Hindi ko sinasabing in-lab pa rin sila ha, pero sinasabi ko lang, meron pa silang hang-up. Para bang, kahit anim na taon (at maraming tao) na yung nakalipas, hindi pa rin nila makalimutan. O ayaw nilang kalimutan? Meron diyang pa-text-text pa rin, at meron namang takot na

Luz, Allen, Jam and I went to the Avilon Zoo in Montalban last Saturday. I was really excited, as I've NEVER been to a zoo before. Thinking that we’d be going on a gimmick later that night and that zoos lie on flat land, I wore high heeled sandals. Those sandals were the most comfortable ones I had; I was really used to wearing them. Apparently, Avilon had a span of 7 hectares -- not a square

This is true for my weekend (and I'm sure it's true for yours). Sabi nga ni Alekos, he hates sundays because it signals the arrival of Monday. And we all know what's wrong with Monday.

Weekend Play by Play

2004-08-09T14:06:00.000+08:00

It has been a long weekend for a lot of people I'm sure. It's the same thing for me and our fellow batchmates who took time to play and/or watch the alumni volleyball tournament (see previous posts). The first game of batch '98 was against perennial nemesis '97 (beefed up by EJ Baranda's batch '89). I truly believed we had a chance to beat them, considering that we were familiar with batch '97 (

Just a couple of pictures of me and my little sister. I know I've written about her a bunch of times before, but what are you gonna do? Anyway, just last week, she made it to the honors program at her school, with straight A+ grades. I'm especially proud of it because, well, as a way to help out my folks, I've been paying for her tuition fees.(And it's quite a tuition fee, too. Let's put it this

Faye posted earlier at the Pisay 98 mailing list that Luz passed the board exam for Veterinary Medicine. I figured I'd post about it here, and maybe attach a picture of her, but unfortunately, this was the only picture of hers I could find.Congratulations Luz!

Pop Fiction

Whenever I watch Pulp Fiction, which I was doing instead of work earlier at the office, I end up craving for burgers and milkshakes. I'm not really fond of hamburgers, and I only usually eat burgers at Jollibee and Burger King. Fortunately for me, Jollibee also serves yummy milkshakes, and I won't have to pay 5 dollars for them. Which reminds me of an idea I had earlier during the scene at Jack

When first heard about I, Robot, I immediately dismissed it as yet another sci-fi summer blockbuster movie with wisecrackin' will as our hero and I wasn't too keen on watching it. The title didn't help pique my interest either, I thought the title was "I-Robot" and not "I, Robot" and made it sound too much like an Apple product (though I must say, the robots did look strangely like an i-Mac, I

How to blog

2004-07-23T17:08:00.000+08:00

It just came to my attention yesterday that a bunch of people who joined the blog have all this time been eager to post, and yet they couldn't because they couldn't figure out how to do it. A couple of them actually talked to me about this yesterday, saying they saw the blog and saw where you could leave comments, but they couldn't find where they could post an entry. Well, it is a little bit

There was a great, little moment in Nuts Entertainment last night that I was glad I caught. The opening involved the great Joey de Leon dusting off his bahag for a little sketch starring Starzan, the Pinoy King of the Jungle (Pekto played Chitae). I loved every little bit of it, even if Janno Gibbs overacted the whole time (as usual), and Joey de Leon had a large gut and sagging boobs. (It did

I'm not really very big on poetry; I always thought poems mean so much more to the writer than they ever do for the reader, and T.S. Elliot's stuff always goes over my head. There are a couple of poets who are exceptions, of course, and probably the biggest is the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. I have this thing when I encounter work by really talented people where I just say to myself, "Man,

Ok, so Jae and I were chatting yesterday... we've talked about how we should put a sort of weekly theme to this blog in order for people to post. Something that will interest most of the pisay 98 blogging population. And so, i've been thinking of what would be a good topic to talk about? Incidentally, i'm feeling quite nostalgic today because of this song i heard. And my brain is just flooding

And I didn't expect it to happen this soon. Only four days after Mr. Web Presence himself announced the presence of Pisay98 blog, 15 members are now part of the blog and there are now six posts. Yes, six post; I know it's small, and maybe the rate of posting is dwarfed by nikki's. But the invasion is happening at the back of Pisay98's main blog.

Php5.50 worth of hell

I have a big problem with the Php5.50 jeepney fare. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the jeepney fare increase. I think it's only fair. I had always thought that by not increasing the fare earlier, we're not getting as much out of it as much as what is being lost by the jeepney drivers. And I always had a problem with oil deregulation; you could find a bunch of arguments about the topic, but to
