Counting down the minutes til the weekend…… in the meantime, I’ve rediscovered the joys of playing Bejeweled (thanks to Aileen). It comes in real handy for boring days like this one. Also, it’s not true that I won’t admit to Aileen “selling” this house to me. She did convince me! I was kinda set on […]

I’m not exactly looking forward to packing and moving all our stuff in! Masochism is not exactly my kind of thing. I do agree that it would be nice to come home to a cozy house instead of a cramped apartment. I liked this house the first time we toured it. Edu would never admit […]

For anybody who’s wondering, below is a picture of the house which will be Casa De Francisco by the end of June. It’s a 4BR/2.5 Bath house with a big kitchen and a good-sized backyard. We can’t wait to move in! It’s going to be a very nice change from living in a cramped apartment. […]

Doesn’t the INS know that the terrorists are probably in this country legally? Napster’s been saved from going under. It’s a […]

When Edu was about to sleep one night, Zoe forcefully retracted his eyelids and yelled “Wake up, […]

You should have just parked in the vicinity and walked to where you were going :). I always need something like a “test drive” to wherever I’m going in the city before my actual appointment. (This usually involves Edu driving around with me). If I feel confident enough, I just go to mapquest and correlate […]

Man, Pittsburgh has got to be one of the most confusing cities in the world. Manila actually makes sense compared to this. With all the construction going on, the one-way streets that seemingly make no sense, , streets that just suddenly change their name, pedestrians who don’t know how to cross the street and horrible […]

Star Wars: Episode II: Attack Of The Clones Simply put: This movie was…. orgasmic. Episode 2 for me was the movie equivalent of three years of foreplay (when The Phantom Menace was released) and the culmination in a two and a half-hour release. And it was very satisfying! There are just so many things to […]

Good Time Wasters: Ghost World – Great book! The first one I’ve read from Dan Clowes. As usual, the book is better than the movie (which I saw first). In this case though, they are different enough from each other that they can actually be taken as two unrelated works. 3 1/2 out of 5 […]
